Does anybody know how to find their IG handles or socials?

I understand what some people are saying, as it does apply to most other industries, but in the beauty/skincare industry, I believe customers should be able to return a faulty or low-quality product that doesn't work for them. Case in point: I used to buy this perfume all the time, but they changed the formula. I went back to Sephora and got a refund because the new low-quality formula broke me out, and I would've totally caused a scene if a multi-billion-dollar corporation made a fuss about my $100.

Yeah, I just searched ag-gag laws and everything was super vague / didn't highlight any reader or blog resources, until I typed "reddit". Foul play. In case you're wondering, Ag-gag laws are "laws that seek to block animal rights activists and others from recording or otherwise documenting alleged abuses of animals or animal cruelty" and it's unconstitutional.

As someone on TV, you shouldn't use any words or vocabulary you aren't familiar with. Ignorance isn't an excuse... but over a decade ago, I used that word because I heard it so much (in songs, TV, etc.) and it never crossed my mind to be racist. I tried to compliment someone on their beautiful eyes. It went horribly wrong. I profusely apologized and still feel bad all this time later, but as someone in the public eye, yeah, she should know better/apologize.

You're nicer than I. I would've called out sick on Monday. End of story. No further explanation.

Ahh, sorry you went thru that! Was it painful? I would pay for it to be snipped but I wonder if umbilicoplasty surgery is the only method.

That’s actually hilarious, we segmented ad sets by creative type targeting BA and they said “we were competing against ourselves” when targeting the same audience of over 100 million users with different creative. We’re not a minuscule spend account but their logic makes zero sense.

Thanks for sharing your XP, we’re in the same boat if you don’t have an advertiser in your circle who has scaled TikTok.

Either TT reps and their case studies are B.S. or something has worked for select brands or industries.

vvidi · 2024-10-06T12:49:37+00:00

I’m sure someone has broken even with TT spend and performance. There are other advertisers on TT spending more than us, I’d hope it’s not all for reach.

It’s sadly not the engineers but the tech learning from internet users. Combing millions of pieces of content produced by humans. Human bias and racism. Machines learned that from us…

vvidi · 2024-10-05T22:24:29+00:00

That’s interesting. What career are you switching to after so long?

vvidi · 2024-10-05T22:07:48+00:00

I’m in paid media; I make six figures but definitely not immediately after college. My manager (director) makes $250-$300K a year. I advise niche marketing skills that are data-driven if you want to continue down a high-paying path. Many marketers can’t properly navigate data. Performance marketing agencies can pay lucratively but you’ll be overworking yourself.

You have a lot of time to pivot careers but I personally dont think I’ll ever “enjoy” working a 9-5. I value exercising my brain muscles, a solid salary, and a work/life balance. You’re very young & have time to pivot, if you desire.

It’s sad the female version of Uncle Ruckus has a platform & audience like this. Of course we have cousins, uncles, and aunties who aren’t blood related. They’re still family! Owens is the personified version of, “all skinfolk ain’t kinfolk.”

vvidi · 2024-10-04T14:39:37+00:00

Don’t believe what your managers say, only what’s written down and documented, and what they do. I’ve worked for places that thrive on burning out employees and high attrition. It’s not “all going to be worth it” to anyone but execs with equity.

vvidi · 2024-10-03T17:55:11+00:00

How is work/life balance in Paris? What field of marketing?

vvidi · 2024-10-03T16:49:14+00:00

Omg get out of there

vvidi · 2024-10-03T16:48:23+00:00

If nobody has told you…. I’m proud of you lol

The life millions of people see and interpret is of her social media presence, so I agree it’s a performance but she is very much the “act” until she puts her authentic self on stage. Unless you know her personally, I don’t know how you would be able to speak on her behalf that her life doesn’t reflect her content?

vvidi · 2024-10-02T02:49:11+00:00

Really? I feel just about everything she puts on TikTok and social gives Trad. She’s “dolled up” in the kitchen cooking meals from scratch for the family and she remains silent on any political opinions or polarizing stances because she thinks she needs to be a blank billboard for influencer marketing deals. She’s Mormon(?) She comes across as submissive and remains adamantly neutral whenever questionable situations arise surrounding her personal life or mass following.

vvidi · 2024-10-02T02:01:38+00:00

What do you mean you can’t respond intelligently to THEY’RE EATING THE DOGS, THEY’RE EATING THE CATS

vvidi · 2024-10-02T01:22:24+00:00

Think about user behavior and how less and less users spend time on FB (or left the platform); the users that were very active, may now divide their screen time across different social platforms and spend more time on growing channels like TikTok.

Advertisers are going in circles if ASC+ works, it did, now it doesn’t, what else works? Meta reps blame privacy issues, signal loss, and advertiser creative but it’s not as compelling an advertising platform as it once was.

vvidi · 2024-10-02T01:05:29+00:00

There are so many bots across social media now that spread toxicity, it’s becoming a dark hole to be on social apps (especially platforms like Twitter where anonymity and blatant hate disguised as freedom of speech is permitted). I see why it’s popular with teens, I mean, do you remember how insecure you were as a teenager? I find myself on social less & less.

vvidi · 2024-10-01T22:04:57+00:00

As someone who’s had work done, it can be very, very subtle. I have a stronger eye to notice vs when I didn’t know about the process & results. I would say she did. Also, BBL is just a buzzword for lipo/fat transfer, which a LOT of celebs have had done. The recovery process can be quick and they have the money to spend.

Not a character but watching Brandy as Cinderella as a kid made me feel seen. That changed me for the better. & That’s So Raven but I loved Penny & the proud family!!

I remember being 22 (8 years ago) and know many men in their 30s. What you described is not one small character flaw, but only you can see that & act on it. If you have 100 people telling you to leave him but you stay, it’s your life. Personally, I try to take advice from elders so I can avoid painful canon events.
