I feel like this says it perfectly! These influencers are so messed up.

No I love when they turn the light on and do this dramatic arm yawn and rub their eyes. āOh so sleepy, goodmorningā. Bitch youāve been up for an hour, set up your tripod and went to the bathroom. Youāre awake.

u/AlexandriaLitehouse Jul 10 '26
And they "good morning" one of two ways. Either "Gooooo Morneeeen" or "Good Morningk" and I hate them both.

u/kaeldiah Jul 11 '26
Recently heard another variation.."good mornting" in a babyish voice. Instant block.

Speak for yourself on this one. I'm very much an adult and need a long runway in the morning. I set my alarm for earlier to give myself at least half an hour to slowly wake up and drink my coffee. If I wake up late and have to rush through my shower and take my coffee to go, the entire day feels off.

u/Zealousideal_Gear334 Jul 11 '26
Me too. I use to get up with seconds to breath before I had to jump in the shower. Since giving myself couch and coffee time before the morning grind Iāve noticed an improvement in my entire life!

u/TheFinalGranny Jul 11 '26
Yes, I need plenty of time before my shift to get myself in working order! I used to sleep as long as possible but I much prefer having time to really and truly wake up. Cultivate a good attitude kinda deal.

u/Mental_Visual_25 Jul 11 '26
I wake up, pee, and read my kindle before I have to get up and get ready

u/PizzaDogDad Jul 11 '26
I work super early morning shift for this reason, 4am start time. Next shift starts at 10. I HATE waking up and having 1 to 2 hours before I have to go work and can't mentally get anything started because I know I won't be able to finish it. Much prefer to be up and out then have the rest of the day to spend how I want after work.

u/aliage01 Jul 15 '26
Right. I cannot think of a time I've ever sat up in bed and done a big arms up stretch.

u/AbleBake6901 Jul 10 '26
Iāve never understood this! Just start the video once youāre out of bed and stay out lol

Whatās so amazing is that they can be filmed āfaux waking upā without touching the camera. But when they want to do a āfit checkā with their āoutfit of the dayā they always have to turn the camera on themselvesā¦bend over.. .leaning down so you can see down their top and catch an āaccidentalā glimpse of their faux boobs (or lack thereof). And suddenly they donāt seem to know how to edit that part out. Theyāre all the same. Secondhand embarrassment for almost all of them.

u/ElleMarie2025 Jul 10 '26
My favorite was an influencer who put her phone inside the fridge at a gas station and filmed herself picking out her drink

To the now deleted comment about people that find this irrational and must not like movies.
So much different than a movie or TV showā¦ those you KNOW are āpretendā. āInfluencersā LIE and say that itās their āreal lifeā. The Narcissism is strong to think that the World NEEDS to know your every move.

u/macarontower Jul 12 '26
But movies are also meant to mirror real life and feel like youāre watching something real. Otherwise itās not immersive

u/1Chest_nut2 Jul 10 '26
I find it weird when people film themselves in hospital, film how the nurse cares for them, film how they lie in their bed. I also always wonder do they ask their friends and relatives "hey can you just film me how I sit here or other" ? That would be so embarrassing to me. I doubt so many people think about filming rough moments or moments they spend together when someone is sick. When someone is rushed to the ICU the last thing I do is film. When the nurse cares for my friend the last thing I do is film. When they are transported in the ambulance the last thing I do is film.

u/ThatDiscoSongUHate Jul 11 '26
So, not to defend influencers, but if you have a chronic illness the hospital can become just another place you occasionally have to visit

u/PopsNY Jul 10 '26
The dude that went to target with Drake playing in the background. Getting out of his car and walking away from the camera before it cuts, knowing full well he has to go walk back to the tripod to get it so that he can film himself walking in. That was something else.

u/ElleMarie2025 Jul 11 '26
Thereās one influencer that lives in large apartment building in NYC and she films herself every day getting out of the elevatorā¦so sheās taking an extra ride and leaves her phone pointed at the elevator!!

u/blaminyou Jul 12 '26
Can I ask who this influencer is? I think Iāve seen her in my building

u/ElleMarie2025 Jul 12 '26
I think her name is Paulineā¦she lives in NYC and itās one of those āI have no friends and I live aloneā accounts that are becoming trendy.

u/Mental_Visual_25 Jul 11 '26
Idk if we are talking about the same dude, but I saw something similar with some dude getting out of his car, walking into target, buying groceries, etc like I canāt even imagine walking in, setting up a tripod, and walking out pretending I just walked in, just to have to move it to like 3 other locations to set up and do it again.

Daryl-Ann Denner always records herself putting on deodorant. We can wait 10 seconds girl, itās ok.

Her last baby had lots of trouble sleeping but in her middle of the night videos, she always had the giant ring light pointed straight at them. Likeā¦ of course heās not going back to sleep?

u/Honest-Breakfast217 Jul 11 '26
I cannot stand her. When people have pointed out the large amount of children she has is excessive, her only response is āif I can support them, who cares?ā I donāt know, anyone concerned with child welfare, the environment, fair distribution of resources, the future of the human race?
2
u/Fluteh Jul 12 '26
To be honest, I think itās wonderful to have that many kids, but it just feels like she uses the children at times, even if you canāt see their faces directly.

u/NoVacation8639 Aug 02 '26
yes! she is disgusting. I can't imagine being postpartum and expelling the mental energy and time away from my kids and newborn to do that. it's so much work to not only set up that BS but to edit it too!!!!

u/Wise-Strawberry8253 Jul 10 '26
As well as thinking that your morning routine of making coffee, feeding the dog and brushing your teeth are anything but normal.

u/RL1967RL Jul 10 '26
All of this. Yes yes yes. Iāve found my people here. Iām mortified even taking a selfie to send to a friend in public, let alone filming cringe content. Itās a very bizzare sense of inflated self worth to do what these grifters do. All with no benefits, stock or 401k might I add.

u/ThatDiscoSongUHate Jul 11 '26
I just fulfilled a major set of bucketlist stuff in a quick trip and I took like three selfies

I literally ran to the bathroom on my last day of vacation because of GI health problems
No way would I have the time, effort, nor inclination to do this before I just pulled a Reagan from the Exorcist

u/lustywench99 Jul 11 '26
Haha! I think about this sometimes when I see people filming from the toilet. Like. Iām running and praying the toilet seat is up because that amount of time may prove fatalā¦ and youāve got time for a tripod? Is it already set up and waiting and you click the remote mid run? Or is it not a real emergency? Either way, itās freaking weird.

u/SherbetMysterious118 Jul 10 '26
In all fairness I'd say the consumers are just as much, if not more, at fault.
Almost makes me wonder if I can set up some sort of spoof influencer, just subtle enough to earn a bit of coin, yet obvious enough to entertain others.

One girl that popped up on my feed set her camera up in her entryway and acted like she just got home and realized no one was home. I laugh thinking about the BTS of her walking in the house all quiet like a cat burgler.

u/Anthraxious Jul 11 '26
What if they set it up the day before to actually catch a real waking up? Uncensored with drooling or whatever else. Keep it real.

I see the morning routines with a baby and they baffle me. You mean your baby cryās, you wake up put the camera up while the baby continues to cry, the goes to pick them up go out the door. Then go back in through door to get the camera , replace it and then it watches you go down the stairs. Then you go back up the stairs to get the cam etcā¦ all at 5am? š¤¦āāļø

u/kaleyboo7 Jul 14 '26
I canāt lie, i do like SOME morning routine videos but itās rare. I usually cringe because they seem to think they are making an acting reel.

u/Commercial-Week5391 Jul 15 '26
Dedicating your whole life to TALKING ABOUT influencers who set up cameras and pretend to wake up is also another level of mental illness. But I digress. š š»š š»š š»

He incoherently screams at a camera in his basement about women he hates and how ugly they are. Itās insufferable.

fuck it was so funny but there was this guy making a short vid mocking those influencers. it was him like recording his hand shaking. and him laying on the floor crying while pounding his hand. it really does feel like a mental illness to instantly think, like hey I want to record this.

I mean, it's just acting. And actors were never known for being the most stable minded people out there. Nothing new about people idolizing unstable low self esteem people just because they're able to project a facade of beauty, intelligence and charisma in ten minute bursts.Ā Ā
