A few years ago I consumed a lot (ok not that much, but I was a regular watcher of a few Youtubers) of makeup related content and learned from it. Nowadays I feel like everyone is just repeating their existing videos. Everything is done and old so I stopped watching maybe over a year ago.
Is it me personally or is beauty YT still as big as it was in let’s say 2017?
I agree. An INCREDIBLY small tiktoker I follow admitted she just quit her job to "do this full time’ and it’s like DO WHAT?
They really are relying on immediately getting deals, even when they are not popular at all and don’t put out much value. This girl had a few viral videos and quit her job… SMH.
No one is just making content to be seen. There must be immediate payment.
I’m new to it (yet old at almost 40) and I’m doing it just because I love this stupid hobby. I’ll review what I buy, but otherwise it’s just chatty + makeup. Maybe hair sometimes. I just don’t have a daughter to pass this info on to and decided to give it to anyone who wanted it. I definitely prefer the old school tutorial and chatty GRWM videos. There’s a time for product reviews but it’s a bit overloaded this time of year.
Dm me your channel so I can watch, I just want background noise that’s comforting and not shilling products at me. I love that chatter and its comforting to me
I’d like your channel, I’m sure!
Idk if we’re talking about the same influencer but I had the same feeling about one I follow who quit her job. I’m happy for her success on social media but it’s really hard to keep watching content when you followed for a specific topic and there’s a shift to constant leisure activities presented as work.
