“When I hear people say they want to become influencers so they can have more time, flexibility, agency, all that stuff... I get so confused because being an influencer sounds to me like being chained to one of the most toxic ecosystems there is. Literally, no one's got your back. You're always on. It's a lot of work. And if you're not making big money from it, what's the point? But what do I know? I'm just a girl writing a substack!”
Do you think Rhode could come for Glossier? I realize Glossier hit the zeitgeist at a very specific time that made it explode…but I just feel like nothing they do excites me anymore or makes me rush to buy their products. Also, Hailey’s face.
Working theory: rhode is capturing glossier’s market. From what I gather, these customers only want to purchase one ‘trendy’ beauty item and they’re starting to opt for rhode instead
Oh I love the substack news. Making sponsor content juicy is always good but sometimes they don’t want that and you just want to make that $15k/year if possible.
Whew. A lot to unpack here. JT should publicly apologize & instead he has his atty making a statement like, "We will have a lot to say." Interesting about Substack ads--wonder how that will pan out. The part about the Brat book is intriguing because I have NOT HEARD a thing about it until now, though saw it on a bookshelf last night while at an event and wondered what it was--it has a great cover. The line about Kevin Costner sent me. He is in full cowboy cosplay.
JT is not a great guy so no surprises there! okay thank God its not just me who hasn't seen brat anywhere actually bookish. it seems very mona wad vibes to me which I know people love but isnt for me. and I love KEVIN COSTNER COWBOY! I'm such a stan
These are my favorite on-the-go reads. They feel like mandatory reading for sociology class. My professor is obsessed with pop culture (maybe even more than Jeremy O. Harris), and this might literally be my way to get on her level of knowledge. Thank you.
You’re right about the influencing thing. Do you really have what it takes to be an influencer or you just want to join the trend. My lovely writer. Enjoyed this ❤️❤️ thank you
