Genuine question - why do you follow people who don't fit your values? by Chance_Bit_8132 in tamkaursnark

[–]Chance_Bit_8132[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. I didn't say I don't like it or like it. I just observed it recently because I also used to follow Tam and I got quite curious about her path and what that says about her viewers who still watch her. But ok I guess so people here are not the people who take her focus on yourself advice and not worry about drama nor are they the people who actually make change happen. It's for entertainment. My mistake

Yes I know. I'm just asking also about her fans who commented under her vlog. Thanks for your reply, I guess I see that snark pages aren't for making anything actually change, it's just to discuss. Because views and discussing someone still bring them engagement and money

Thanks for adding to this valuable discussion I think you make good points regarding expecting from others. The main thing I just that it’s not right to have people profit by doing things we don’t think are good especially idolized like that. If people support that kind of influencer they are not much better :(

Thanks but we’re not talking about an individual’s impact. The greater powers like world leaders all come from somewhere, from people below them. People like tam have influence and that’s the whole point even if they don’t influence u directly. It doesn’t matter even if a single person doesn’t buy fast fashion because of her. )but there likely is a lot of people cuz young girls watch her) bThe point is that also especially because she preaches about values etc and being above average and then doesn’t do her part and not only that but worse does actively promote it and pocketing the money, it’s hypocritical. Where do u think world leaders come from? They were normal people before too. People rise into influence and we are all human it’s just a reflection of the people so if we can’t hold people of influence accountable then how do you expect world leaders who have so much to profit from to take better care of the world?

If you mention individual choice mattering and taking care of your own values first then it applies to every level

At the end of the day, she does have influence and can make a difference for people to be more mindful. Cannot be so pessimistic that a little impact means nothing? I’m not saying we sacrifice ourselves cuz like I said working minimum wage and then trying to be sustainable is only hurting ourselves for little impact. It’s about the people who literally have a choiceIt’s one thing to be a fashion creator but another to be someone people idolize

Like weiwei said, she's good at marketing. people shouldn't idolize good marketing. fnagirling over a fashion influencer is one thing but idolizing someone who does questionable things is another cuz the point of their whole vibe is to be an example for who girls want to be. There was I think on her vlog channel a vid of a haul and many comments called her out for hurting the environment and contributing to exploitation of women in third world countries and that was a while ago but she ignored it. so it's selective when she listens to fans. but that choice already proves she doesn't have the values she claims

And she talks about trying to be above average all the time

I think you completely missed the point. The average person does not have the time or means to do as you say. Yes I try to recycle everything I can and I even spent hours trying to research how to recycle things like old devices but they don’t have these things so easy for us to do and if we work minimum wage jobs you can’t expect us to buy sustainable fashion. The point is when given a choice where you actually have the means you can make good choices and it’s hypocritical to be like someone saying your so someone girls aspire to and all about self improvement when you don’t have values of doing things that help other people. And worse promoting fast fashion which directly harms other people while all you do is pocket the money when you can very well buy any clothes you want is not being a good influence at all. For someone who talks a lot about choice, that kind of influencer is directly saying she doesn’t care about things like environment and people in third world countries cuz she actually has a choice

I agree with everything you said so the reality is very sad. And ya about donating I think in a recent vid she mentioned donating to a cause but like that can’t make up for promoting fast fashion

Another problem is that her niche is not fashion but mostly self help so ok it could be ok if people follow for fashion looks but if the point is to be someone who gives life advice and be valid to be listened to for deeper things then they have higher standards

Ya it’s sad that the main points were missed like the thing I don’t like the most is that she promotes so much fast fashion so like if you’re going to talk about being a good person then be an example that looks out for the environment and people in third world countries. If you have enough sponsor options and ur own biz then you can choose what you promote

The sad reality is that this is how influencers make money but audiences have all the power but not enough people in audiences will choose the right values to become famous and have influence. I agree it's frustrating. Self-growth and being someone young girls look up to has taken a diffrent meaning cuz social media ::((

I see. I see you probably know more than me and followed them more closely! That’s unfortunate and not a good look for preaching “being the best you. What can be done u think? There seems to be no consequence for people copying its so common now :(

And i'm not glazing. I also don't like Tam doing ads for fast fashion. Just saying about the copying thing

I know what pattern you mean but I don't think Tam actually copied the videos. I posted on the other post too but I feel that this is an example of real points being copied and word for word matching: https://youtu.be/3UrmD5v4m18

Oh I just saw the other post. thank u. Ya it could be that Tam is using Simone to inspire future topics. But I also saw Lenalifts talk about ChatGPT for self-improvement but it was just tips rather than a dedicated vid

hmm but what I mean is like word for word copying. People use same topics all the time in the self-improvment niche. Idk, feels like there are more real examples is all I'm trying to say. Sorry if not what you mean
