It took over so much of my life. It had up to 50,000 unique viewers and i was making 1500 per blog post. She was an online celebrity of sorts who companies paid to post about their products. I was posting photos that was happy because i needed the post. Youre taking pictures and thinking how can i spin it into a story . If we werent having a good time, i needed the photos. She says the facade went too far when sponsoring for every photo op squeezed the joy out of her family. She said this is a faked fathers day post far tea company. We had to do it a month out so i had the photos edited on time for fathers day. It wasnt authentic or on fathers day. It felt stage directed. Reporter finally she quit, writing a fair well blog that went. Exploezing. She writes 90 of the fake nonsense i used to share on the internet writing about my fake life and oh so happy major, they are pure [ bleep ]. She says why do you put exclamation points after every [ bleep ] sentence. Youre not that happy . Theres a world of super influencer on social media from bloggers and celebrities to average teens. Companies seek them out to subtly or not so subtly advertise to their millions of followers. The curious, rich, lav us, superior. Its the white gold.

You not really having a good time in the moment with the people that youre spending your time with. Its just a photo shoot. What josie is expressing about the insincerity of her posts is a problem with all social media. We have this habit of only posting the most perfect images that make our lives look incredible. Even adele chastised a fan for not being in the moment. Can you stop filming me with the cam va . Im here in real life. You can enjoy it in real life. It seems more and more people are feeling disconnected from their real lives. One study shows more time on social media correlates with more feelings of loneliness and depression. I was miserable. I had it all and i was miserable, because when you let yourself be defined by numbers, you let yourself be defined by something that is not pure. I quit social media for my 12yearold self. Her 19yearold selfattracted more than a half million followers, a glamorous cool teenager seemingly living the life. Taking myself off social media is a wakeup call for anyone and everyone who follows me. She said it would be her last youtube post and she would shut it doin. She deleted most of the thousands of photos own her insta gram account, and the few she left up, she changed the captions to reveal what was going on. She writes, not real life. Took over 100 in similar poses trying to make my stomach look good. And there is nothing accident about trying to look zen, taking a photo of you trying to be zen and proving your zen on instagram. She dabbled in social media as a between. It was a selfie that i put up, and i remember it clearly hoping it would get some likes. She got so many likes she started getting paid to post. Something she realized many of her followers didnt even know. Like what, paid instagram purse . And then i was like, people dont know this . She says its one of the reasons for her change of heart. I was talking to my sister. Shes 14. I said to her this thing like when i was your age, i looked at models and looked in the mirror thinking am i like them . Why arent i like them, and she burst out in tears and said i did that. An outpouring of support online from all over the world. The gratitude prompting her to make one more video post. I feel so grateful that this is being spread, that this is getting out there. Reporter she said she never intended to create a big fuzz. I think if people understood the effort and time to perfecting your life, that wouldnt be so aspirational. I think the reality is quite sad. This girl is standing up for other girls and giving them permission to stop trying to be so perfect online. Shes saying this is fake. What were doing is fake, and you dont have to feel badly about yourselves. Nobody can look like me without trying so hard. But her move triggered detractors saying the regret was fake, accusing of her wanting more attention. This is the videos i want to put out for me. Seven month later, shes still living life offline. And josie, the american mama is also facing a lot of backlash as well from other mommy bloggers saying youre a sick, sick person. I feel sorry for your children. Reporter today she says shes much happier writing act her new real life without the burden of having to attract sponsors. That comes across in my writing.

Its one of those things you Say Something and you didnt realize people would say on it. I decided im going to be a good little hunk and shut up.
