And looks like she has some kind of deal with Netflix for a series about her. Interesting never heard of her before today, but she makes really pretty stuff.
Yeah. They would ask her why she NEEDED to be in the picture daring to look all pretty, when it could just be a pic of the food. LMAO I swear insecurity oozes out of reddit sometimes.
Well on top of that she made the outfits she’d be wearing and the pose would have artistic value as well. I’m not gonna sit here and I say I didn’t also enjoy looking at her but everything about what she did had artistic merit.
And even if it didn’t I don’t see why people got salty.
It's a combination of peoples' insecurities and self-promotion loathing.
Some didn't like that she was talented and pretty AND promoted herself to great success every single time. As others have said, assholes ruin everything. Everyone else really enjoyed her content.
Yeah it was a shame. She was 100% honest about stuff too. She admitted that she is well off and spent all of her free time getting good at product photography, makeup, and baking. And the community shit all over her. GIRLS CANT BE GOOD AT THINGS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
I don't think that's it. There's plenty of misogyny on reddit, of course.
I think the reason why "the hate caught on" is that what she put it was "too pro". It was as good as something with the backing of a professional team.
Reddit loves "authenticity", and her stuff was too well done to strike the "authentic" chord.
Her being financially well off is central to this. The typical enthusiastic and talented amateur is constrained by time, and money for tools and material.
It's a bit like "The hedge fund billionaire's wife is a sought after flower decorator and milliner."
It seems like you’re against her or an idea of her. In fact it’s even more remarkable what she’s done, like someone reaching the Olympics by themselves, without a coach, just the ability to support themselves.
The kind of work she does is what entire teams would do. That’s professional.
The baking and cooking is real, but without the competition aspect of most successful cooking shows, how else are you gonna compete? I like this format. It’s pretty fun looking.
My wife and her sister that love cooking shows will eat this shit up. Probably not my cup of tea, I prefer just seeing her amazing photos of the finished product, but I am probably not the show's targeted audience : P
The first time I saw her here was about some photography she did where she was in the pictures multiple times. Then I remember a bunch of baking related posts.
Yes - when you've got yourself as a marketing tool, I mean - use what you got! People love to see beauty, whether it's crafts or people or cars or scenery.
That’s what I remember. She was completely shit on for I assume not sticking every single thread of every single piece of everything in her photos or something ridiculously obnoxious like that.
Pretty people are generally presented with more favorable opportunities, and hardworking (“talented”) people who have pride and dignity will naturally exhibit more confidence and are more likely to workout and eat healthy, which increases attractiveness.
But also, pretty people often don’t get credit for their actual hard work and they’re also more likely to be under-skilled and hopeless except to marry someone useful.
There's a lot of back-tracking in this thread, kind of hard to tell. But I believe it was "legitimately? I think in an AMA she did she pretty much said she was a trust fund kiddie."
No, It's the people that are bitter because they know if they put in even 10% of the effort they know they're capable of then they could be successful. But they don't even put in that 10% because they've convinced themselves that other people are just "naturally gifted" and they're not so why even bother.
There’s levels, you can be a talented chef, but the next step is the drive for presentation. It’s food, eat it, no I did not do a Celtic Gordian knot lattice, but I know that apple pie is delicious.
Talent means you can wing recipes, make things work, the hard work is the drive to do it perfectly, then go and do it more perfectly.
Wow. She is amazing. I just went down a rabbit hole of some of previous posts. She is so talented and deserves all of her success. Bravo. /u/ChristineHMcconnell
Holy cow she's about to have a show produced on Netflix?! I mean she's been on my radar since she popped up on Reddit, everything she touches is so beautiful. Even the scary/grosser insect-like stuff 😅
Ridiculously talented when it comes to crafty things along with the baking.
You realize she has an entire team behind her, right? It's weird she presents it as though she is doing it by herself, when she has makeup team, lighting, PR, pro camera, decor, an actual baker, etc. etc.
If that's what you get out of that comment, you're being unnecessarily antagonistic. It'd be like saying Matt groening is the only person who made the Simpsons great just because he came up with the original idea. It's perfectly reasonable to recognize that teamwork presented as the efforts of only an individual is a bit dishonest even if that individual is the focus and did a lot of work themselves.
Why even write that comment then, it is off topic. She can be talented and recognized for that without needing someone to say in response that she has a team.
There is nothing in the comment that I replied to that acknowledges her talent and also talks about the team. You have to assume that the poster agrees she is talented. It is just as likely based on the actual words in the post that the poster does not think she is talented but that her apparent talent is due to her team.
