This is the clean version of hoarding
They're not the same. Hoarding stems from a root issue of not being able to let go of things and feeling the need to have lots of things to surround themselves with. The anxiety around those feelings makes people hoard... to fill an emptiness and create comfort that something is there and always there for them. The clean and organisation obsession is also an anxiety issue... but it stems from a need to be in control of one's self and life when they fear being out of control of it, often it is a poor coping mechanism where they over compensate for lack of organisation (you often get this with ADHD people who are super tidy to combat their symptoms). The restock stuff though is more to do with a fear mindset of running out of things, and anxiety that you will be without something you may want or need and a desire to always be comfortable and with what you want for immediate gratification.

Wow yes
😧 it is uh‽
I could never understand why one needs to label "grapes" on a clearly see-through container of grapes. I can see the grapes. They do not look like onions or anything else.
😅😂
😂 so true 👍
not to mention that now you can’t use that container for anything else
i would’ve thought they were strawberries if they weren’t labeled
@@silentsong5397an organized fridge many times saves space.
This is the kind of social media literacy and analysis that we should be showing to our kids in schools. 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
Yes!
💯
This 👌🏾
Thank you for this. I'm hoping to give my child the best childhood--a happy one- even if things don't look "perfect" on the outside.
Agreed
I just saw a "pack my Stanley Cup with me for my morning walk" type of reel. My jaw was on the floor. Ma'am, you don't need more stuff than the average person packs for a weekend trip HANGING off of your overpriced waterbottle. What on earth is even going on.
I just saw something similar! She had a wrap around mini backpack and some other accessories attached to this cup! The vid title was 'Pack my Stanley cup with me.' I thought it was going to be satire and she'd fill it with ice and water. Nope. That cup has more accessories than I do.
I barely carry that much stuff in my purse, all I carry is my wallet, my phone, and my phone charger 😭
Someone gave me a Stanley cup. I didn't really like it because it could fall over and leak. I found out 2 weeks ago about the hack to fix that problem. But I still prefer my Contigo mugs. I bought just some new ones too.
Wait, what?! How do u pack a cup?! 😂😂😂
I immediately had to look this up... and wow!!! It is oddly entertaining and the people doing this make me feel better about my life.
I grew up poor so I can definitively tell you I'm the target demographic for restock culture. They are targeting people who never want to feel the pain of not having enough again, so they have radicalized to a plentiful mindset. I even catch myself buying huge boxes of snack bars and refilling a snack box in my pantry.
It's great you are self aware though. Unfortunately I think the people that get sucked in just have no idea the subliminal messaging in these kind of videos.
Sometimes, it's just economical to buy in bulk. Most of the time, when I look at the price per ounce, it's not. Then you have the option that if it's something you go through quickly, buy the bigger amount. There are realistic reasons to buy bigger amounts, so don't feel bad if you have a purpose beyond just having it.
I feel like this level of food hoarding is really only understandable when extreme couponers do it cause they genuinely don’t have much money and you KNOW they’ll use the hoard
@@alexiakahler7222 I have a cousin who has 8 kids…she buys this amount of food and it lasts for like 4 days.
That is so my mum! She has always had the urge to buy more than we needed. My sister once organised my mum’s pantry and it was like 6 jars of gherkins, 8 tins of green beans, 8 jars of apple sauce, stuff like that, as if she was expecting war to break out or a disaster to happen any day. My mum was born just after WW2 in the Netherlands and my grandparents would’ve been living through the winter of scarcity during the war and were stocking up even long after the war, just in case… much like people started to stock up when the pandemic hit.
If my guest needs 2 sticks of deodorant and 6 tubes of shampoo, they've already overstayed their welcome!
It's their house now, you are the guest 😂
Yeah, the only toiletries I would expect to see in the guest bathroom are hand soap, hand towels, toilet paper, and maybe pads and/or tampons if the homeowner wants to be extra-awesome
😂
@@heartofthewild680 - Right and I feel like most toiletries people are bringing with them when they travel and even when hotels provide stuff like that I still want to use my own
You made me cry with laughter 😆 sooo on spot! Maybe , there should also be a separate box with a cutie note/card giving a hint of sooner leaving?;)))
Influencer is a disgusting word it has been turned into a fancy acceptable word to replace peer pressure as a word
I agree that it is a disgusting word 😂
Another word for it is pusher. These people are pushers tbh
Good point!
Another consideration when you're thinking about pouring/emptying food or even medications into another container is that you're getting rid of the only way to track a product. Manufacturers use the lot numbers on labels to notify consumers when there's a recall....😮
Good point. I guess even allergy advice also...
A lot of that stuff is also packaged in a way to minimize contamination from pathogens. The moment you open deli meats, you start the clock ticking. It's no longer 3 months before it goes bad, it's now 7-10 days.
Right! Recalls happen quite frequently, if you've repackaged the item, guess you have to throw out all of them instead of the one with the lot number on the recall.
The there's the waste of products. Once a product is open it needs to be used. Including skincare. Products expire fairly quickly after they've been open. The amount of waste these videos create is just sick.
"restocking my junk drawer"
ah yes, i do that too, but its more like i open the drawer and shove new junk in there and kind of shuffle it around until the thing shuts.
Was thinking the exact same thing.
I love this more than I should lol
Yup! 🤣
@@indiuckymonkey2137Oh man i have a kitchen drawer that is so stuffed things fall off the back and then i can’t shut the drawer underneath until i pull it right out and clear the debris 😂
PS influencers have a whole room for their crap and they shove it in there while filming.
LMAO 🤣😂🤣😂
Imagine taking ketchup out of a squeezy bottle to put it in a far less practical bottle!!! IMAGINE ACTUALLY DOING THAT
I just came to say this! Like that is so impractical.
Wild behaviour 😂😂
My 25 year old son would totally dip right out of a jar of ketchup. Maybe they're onto something.🤔...personalized ketchup jars?!?🤣
Sociopathy
Is it so the bottle s are all the same size to fit in the fridge together?
The labeled fridge containers are *sending* me. 😂
So relatable. I often try to make scrambled eggs and end up trying to crack a lemon into the pan.
We've all been there. That's why we need the labels. So convenient! 😆
😂
We've all been there 😂😂😂
Or when you go to put cheese on your taco but accidentally use the grapes.
@@westcoastweaver8403 Isn't that how new food creations happen?
@slvrangel22 well, you are always gonna create a new food like that. The real question is, is it good food?
Imagine having to wash alllllll those fridge containers every time you get new “stock”.
Pretty sure they just throw them out and buy new ones. They look brand new all the time 🥴
@@AmedamaCherry Either that or they clean like my husband does. Most stuff in our house looks brand new until I get to it.
My ADHD could NEVER
The best advice I ever heard “don’t read beauty magazines, they’ll only make you feel ugly.” I started to see influencers as the new beauty magazine, it helped me see things more clearly.
This is so well put! Will keep in mind! :)
It's from the sunscreen song!
@@jamiea4350Yes! 😆 Only us Xennials would remember this 😁
Agreed. I started to feel so much better about myself when I got off Facebook and Instagram.
Funnily enough, women's magazines have some of the most in-depth investigative journalism for a while due to loss in revenue because of the lost interest.
Shame they are reverting back to being horrible again.
The environmental consequences of influencer culture is terrifying
Amen. Between the extra plastic these folks buy to restock their fridge to Stanley cups to the Jeep rubber duckies, it's too pathetic and disgusting.
I do wonder if in an attempt to continue to skirt the responsibility or environmental repercussions companies will start to push blame and on influencers seeing as the attempts to blame the consumer is no longer working.
It truly is.
Not even from what they buy, but the wastefulness of packaging & product & shipping from PR they receive from brands. It's wild.
"if everyone's consumption patterns were similar to the average American, it would take just over 5 Earths to support the human population"
I wonder how many earths we'd need if we lived like an American influencer.
This reminds me of the feeling I had as a kid where everything was focused on how things look rather than how things feels. We were that family that looked perfect on the outside but on the inside it was miserable. It’s an empty feeling.
🤗💚💚🩷💛💚
💗💗💗
I am horrified by how much junk food is featured in the kitchen restock videos. Especially when its the "kids' 'fridge"
& half of those "products" should not all be in the fridge, thus reducing fridge space.
Junk food doesn’t exist.
Our bodies consider it nutrition ether way. Please talk to an actual dietitian.
@@WaspinmymindWhat dietitian do you know that recommends ultra processed foods? Junk food definitely exists lol
@@Waspinmymindfire your dietitian, or if that’s you, please go out of business
@@WaspinmymindAny nutritionist who recommends ultra processed food needs to find another line of work.
If I went to somebody’s house and they had a perfectly stocked fridge like this I’d assume they’re a psychopath
Hehe I actually met a guy who invited me to his place to make tacos together and he had kitchen utensils I never heard of before like an egg slicer, a salad tumbler, a special device to make evenly sized apple slices and when I spilled some pepper and wanted to wipe it up with a cloth he stopped me and brought out the hand held mini hoover. He wasn't a psycho but we weren't a good match... I'm feeling well organized when I don't have my sweater on backwards.
Me too!!!!
@@annaf3915 he'd been waiting for the day he could whip out that mini hoover 😆
@@Emiliciaa I think so, yeah 😄
@@annaf3915 I remember egg slicers from the 80's 😅
I bet there's a backup 'ugly' fridge where the leftovers and half-empty stuff goes, like in the garage out of sight haha
😂😂😂
of course! Doesn't everyone have one or 2 of these backup fridges? lol
I'm imaging it like ACTUAL soaps we could use in the bathroom that my mom kept hidden away while we could only "look but don't touch" the stupid decorative soaps and towels :)
Kim K just posted video of her real kitchen/fridges
I'm sure they just toss all that in the garbage.
The quality of things has decreased also. Food, machinery, clothes, housing, personal care products... all quality has decreased.
And services as well.
Something to bear in mind with the declutter minimalist influencers is they have these massive homes with tons of storage space and therefore the luxury of declutterring. We have a small home with six people. We have no storage space so it’s incredibly difficult to have an uncluttered space.
"Aesthetic" silicone ice trays are beginning to show up in my thrift stores, in huge quantities. Proof that "TikTok Made Me Buy It" items are fun or cute for a minute, but ultimately they are destined for the secondhand market and then the landfill. I expect in 6 - 12 months, the thrifts will be full of Stanley brand mugs.
True, for £1 I was able to get second hand heart shaped and hello kitty shaped silicon. Ive been making the most expensive chocolate you've ever seen since then. Can't wait for my stanley in 12 months time hahaha
I have seen the same thing. Especially right after a holiday.
@@theboujieproletariatthis is SO real, i’ve been a cutesy/pink person for years and now that barbie summer over i’m having a ball picking up cute pink thrift store finds LOL
People dgaf about aesthetic if they're not making money from it. So it's obvious outcome: people buy these ice trays hoping to become popular on tiktok, make a few very time-consuming videos, get 100 views and throw everything away. Too bad we're not talking about this more because every criticism is faced with "Just let people enjoy things!!!" and denying that nobody's enjoying this things off-camera and the whole thing is just an attempt to get famous on tiktok and make some money back.
I always thought they were chocolate molds to make cute little chocolates or cakes 😩
People make fun of their grandmas for being addicted to shopping on HSN and QVC, but they don’t realize social media has become literally identical, it behaves the same way and serves the same purpose, and they are EATING IT UP just like granny.
Excellent comparison!
Truly, I was chuckling at my auntie the other day…as I was scrolling an online shop cause I saw an ad that was cute on Instagram. Yikes!
Daaaaaang!!! That's real.
Not going to lie I like watching QVC to relax and I'm 30 so..🤦♀️🤷♀️
Why is that lady so angrily organizing her fridge? I’m legit at a loss for what the appeal of that video was.
Thank you for shining a light on this.
Ive started decluttering. I realized 90% of the "skincare" products I was using or the items I was buying was an absolute waste of money. I made my mind up not to buy anything again besides basic soap.
this! im going into college in the fall, so there are a lot of things I do actually need to buy, and ive noticed that its also made me start buying more things I would have laughed at 2 years ago! I've really tried to think about what I actually use skincare wise and have realized I literally only use a face wash, a moisturizer, and sunscreen!!!! and they dont need a caddy or fancy tray!! they have always sat on my sink and its literally fineeeeeeee.
@@neveratinygoldilocks Absolutely!! I wasted an absurd amount of money on skincare products because social media said I needed them. I realized I could get the same products at the drug store for way cheaper (although I don't need them). I can literally buy retinol for $1 at the dollar store. It has the same ingredients as the $30 one at Sephora.
I started using Castile soap for everything including my face. My acne disappeared..
After having my babies I just stopped using multiple products and rarely wear make-up. My skin is amazing. Huge dark shadows though lol
You need moisturizer and sunscreen in addition to basic soap. Otherwise you are going to see the damage later. Those three items are enough for a basic skincare routine.
Buying in bulk has rarely benefited me. All of a sudden they recall the serial number you buy, it accidentally gets destroyed, natural disasters cause you to toss your whole fridge, buy loads of bath and body then you’re allergic, etc. I buy as I go.
That never happens, Nice try.
Regarding unpackaging and repackaging of refrigerated items: When you pour a product out of its original package, you are taking it out of a sterile container. No matter how clean your own container is, it’s never going to be as clean as the original container. As a result, you are introducing bacteria, which will not only shorten the shelf life of a product, but can lead to food borne illness. It’s fine if you want to put small amounts of your condiments into pretty containers for serving, but for storage, it’s best to stay with the package it came in.
❤❤❤❤ I literally create food packages for a living. A lot of chemistry went into your OJ jug.
YES THIS!
ITS PLASTIC.!! Let people do what they want with food they pay for. Food waste is worse. Much worse
@@carver3052not true
The original container is not clean. That stuff sits on pallets in warehouses, shipping containers, sometimes outside, all before it gets to the shelf and in your house.
The FDA regulations are not as strict as you think and definitely bar minimum for non-food items.
I hate hate hate the practice of removing food from it's original packaging: with expiration dates, nutritional info and ingredients, and shielding from light when needed. This hate goes all the way back to the rise of Pinterest.
You can write the expiration date on the airtight container. I put flour and pancake mix and stuff like that in airtight containers and I just write on the plastic container with a marker. The rest of the info you said is missing can be looked up online. Walmart and target and places like that have the nutritional value info for items online
@@A---ti3zz That's all good until you remember that many products that should be kept in fridge also have "after opening consume in x hours". Are these influencers going to drink all 20 bottles of milk and stuff in 2 days?
@@marinamoroz5376no one opens 20 bottles of milk at once so that’s not a problem. You can write the throw away date. Not sure why you are fighting with me. Go yell at them instead. There are tons of issues with what they do but most of their wastefulness are in other areas of their home
Yeah it's REALLY unhealthy
My family does this with jam, but only with jam. It's cheaper to buy the jar once, and then clean it out and fill it up with jam from those sausage-looking plastic refill sleeves. Just make sure you have a big enough jar and clean it well before every refill. Jam stays good for a long time. It's not aesthetic at all but it works.
I would never do this with stuff like ketchup, that already come in good containers.
The bathroom restock one reminds me of when I worked at a grocery store in high school. One of my responsibilities was helping customers that had multiple carts worth of stuff take their groceries to their car and help them load it up. There was this one crazy lady I helped that was one of those that just loved to talk and overshare and when I got to her car, it was already full of other shopping bags, so it was a struggle to get everything in there. And the one thing that sticks out to me was she told me how her sister was coming to visit and her sister hates the color fuschia, so she had bought a bunch of fuschia stuff to redecorate her bathroom
I just came home from a very stressful meeting. I was going to go buy me a purse and thought "that's not going to make me happy'. Then I come home to this video. Your message at the end is on point
We need to remember that before buying something we don't really need
It’s targeted for lower middle class and poor people: I belong to this class. It’s a psychological thing IYKYK. I literally had to detach myself mentally from these types of content. This is literally hoarding disguised as “aesthetic content”.
YES. Minimalistic aesthetic content is marketed to people who have generally not had bare cupboards before; full cupboard content is marketed to people who have.
As someone who was poor, no tf it isnt. It's targeted to the gullible. To the people who look at something and say 'I want that.' I do have the aesthetic ice, I refill it weekly. It takes 15 minutes but i use my ice every single day because i work 10 hour days 5 days a week and i do not have time to go grab anything. I do have the 'ear bud cleaner' because I have a laptop AND IT CLEANS LAPTOP KEYS.
It's literally not stupid for people to buy things they absolutely need. You do not need cats, dogs, nor children. Her owning a cat is obsessive hoarding that SHE considers okay. Everyone is entitled to their own okay.
Stop juding people based off of your own negativity.
Yes, I got myself some organizing clear shelves. After a while realized, were not saving me time or helping kids find snacks better. So I got rid of them use original packaging and just store them by size on shelves. It helps kids and save me time money just buy what they really eat.
The worst of these videos are the makeup ones. I just watched this influencer organize an entire cabinet of just palettes. And I'm not talking about 1 palette each but she had 3 or 4 palettes of the same kind and multiples of the same color story. Eyeshadow expires 12 months after its opened and unopened eyeshadows keep for 3 or 4 years. They're not books, they expire because they contain natural ingredients. This is just a person flexing their collection. It's great if they're rich but most of these wannabe beauty influencers are drowning in debt just to keep up that image. No wonder we have 10 years olds wanting expensive makeup and anti-aging products. Anti-aging... on a 10 year old! Insane! I have 2 palettes. 1 neutral and 1 with colors I like and if I love a color, I'll buy singles and put them in a magnet palette. It's just excessive and worst kids are being influenced by them.
@@rumblefish9 they get sent a lot of it as PR too though - on every level they’re not really paying for stuff, or writing it off their taxes. It normalizes this kind of crazy waste but it just sort of starts happening at a certain level of that industry
Something that bothered me as a retail worker about 16:14 was them not rotating stock. They are pushing the drinks that are "still left" into the back and putting all the new ones in front. The old ones will expire in the back 😭
😂 you really think these sealed drinks will get anywhere close to rotten in the fridge? 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Exactly! First in, first out.
“The Kardashians and Jenner’s Fridge” 😂
@@annerink4327 They will. A lot of drinks, even sealed, will expire when they have milk or fruit in them.
I know I rotate my can goods for this reason like I have one tomato soup left buy 4 more. Put the new four in the back put the older one up front.
We really need to be mindful of ALL media we take in. Whether thats social media, videos, tv, movies and music. I can't tell you how often growing up my friends would be into popular tv shows that showed unrealistic expectations or 35 year old teenagers and they wouldn't see the blatant lies and toxicity in any of the story being presented. Toxic relationships became something to strive for because these relationships were on tv. No one stopped to be mindful about what they were watching, then wondered why later they themselves had unrealistic expectations of relationships or real life situations. We can enjoy all forms of media but we have to be mindful of it and we have to teach our children who are very impressionable to be mindful of it as well. So thank you for pointing out that we need to be responsible and think about what we're looking at. More people like you need to be preaching this! Thank you.
Thank you!! I hate those restocking vids. It’s so wasteful and damaging for the environment. Not to mention unrealistic😢
If that lady loves to stock so much... why doesn't she work at a grocery store😂😂😂😂
She’s making money by making deceptive content against her fellow citizens.
Right, her kitchen looks like a gas station.
Amazon warehouse would love this woman
Because she makes way more money doing this shyte content than she would just working at a grocery store.
Because that doesn’t make money.
I don't care if I became a billionaire, I would never want my house to look like a convenience store. I'd rather adopt another cat!
Same! And the environmental consequences are very sad! I never knew that people’s houses look like a store
Literally me
Lol
@@NIAAESTHTIC The ice cube person is probably just throwing away all of those ice cubes after posting the video because they will never use all that ice. I wonder where they put all the stuff out of that freezer drawer so they could put all the ice into it. They might have also had to throw away a whole drawer of actual food in order to film the video of them "restocking" some soon-to-be trash into the freezer.
@@lance_374 yes! You are most likely right and it’s really disturbing and disappointing! You can do regular restocking videos my life isn’t that boring where I’m going to restock all that!
we have plastic containers for anything carbohydrate-ish because in our part of Germany, food moths have been going rampant the last couple of years and you're not supposed to eat foods they infiltrated.
Really love your commentary! Will you please do one on influencers going to restaurants and ordering enough for 10 people and everything in 10/10 ??? Curious how they paid for it too
"When you have to restock your entire guest bathroom drawer because your friends says she will only use natural nontoxic vegan products" Well if I had a friend who demanded I buy hundreds of dollars of new product so she can stay over instead of just bringing her own supplies, I would simply not be her friend anymore 🤷♀
Anyone who is that particular would definitely bring their own stuff. I’m that person… I have lots of allergies so I’m particular. I’d never. In a million years. Expect a friend to stock her bathroom with my products!
I’m guessing these guests are wealthy and are coming to stay in a house of another wealthy friend. Normal people are not this good of a friend to provide all these luxuries to someone coming to spend a few nights. You need “specialty” products, go buy your own or bring some with you, or best yet, stay in a nearby hotel. Why are you staying at my house? I don’t want you to find it comfortable enough to never want to leave where later you’ll end up evicting me from my own home through some scheme you’ve concocted.
This one was especially funny to me with the full-size deodorant. Either your friend is leaving behind a used deodorant or stealing your stuff when they go!
Yeah, I feel like the friend is going to move in
I would send that “friend” a link to Airbnb soooooo fast. 😂😂😂
Yes, I hate this so much! Restocking is something big supermarkets do… We, as individuals, shouldn’t restock. We should just buy what we need. No reason for a shelf full of shampoo & conditioner unless you own a hair salon!
What a waste of money the average person hasn't got a lot of spare money to be like their favourite influencers and they get into debt to pretend they are wealthy enough to live this lifestyle and end up with severe depression or isolation but they seem happy to the outside world so sad they think they have to be like that. Hugs and prayers for you all from the UK xx❤❤❤
I have a small stock of food storage in the basement, but it's mostly for those "Dad, we ran out of peanut butter!" moments.
Why do you hate it? Genuinely curious.
Just to add another side to this: I grew up incredibly poor, basics like shampoo weren't a guarantee to be restocked immediately or even that fast, so when I first lived on my own married, I couponed a TON and had a stock pile and did similar "restocks" it's not that it was about the aesthetic of a shelf full of name brands, but rather the security they were there. I'm well aware this isn't inherently the case with this kind of content, however, part of it could lead back to some issues of our past we're overcompensation for. ❤
@@michelleprieur1 because of the environmental consequences. That kind of consumerism creates a ton of waste (also behind the scenes! Even if you don’t immediately throw it away there’s a ton of resources that went into production). And while this particular person might be doing it for instagram content, their followers will inevitably end up buying some of these cutesy items. And it is not essentials, it’s cheaply made cute stuff that you’ll replace next season or that will fall apart on its own. So it makes my heart break to see so many people asking for links for these things.
THANKYOU for making this video. It is so important, especially these days. We are constantly bombarded with negativity and rage on social media so our only escape are these over the top ASMR, restocking being one of them. And the most basic thought is "since this made me feel better, buying this will make me feel better too". Its is important to be reminded to be mindful of media vs reality and your video puts a big wedge between consumerism and reality❤️
Edit: also, my asian mom would kill me if I buy all this.
I do have hand soap sheets. Too many times of going to bathrooms and finding no soap. I can't handle not using soap!
Same I don’t regret that one lol
Some of these items are ofc useful it’s buying 20 of them that becomes problematic
8 years ago I disconnected from social media except youtube for my own mental health. Haven't regretted it.
Same
Same… 3 years ago
Same deleted my insta,Facebook,snap among others and my life has been filled with so much happiness,less stress and no more migraines from using my phone for hours on end.
Hifi 2 years!😅🎉
One year so far Best decision
If a guests at my house forgets their toiletries, and they don’t want to use mine, they are absolutely welcome to my basket of mini shampoos, conditioners, soaps, and lotions I’ve swiped from hotel rooms.
My SIL traveled a lot with her work. Probably 7 months of the year, maybe more. She had garbage bags full of the hotel toiletries. Every time I visited her, I came away with enough toiletries to never need to buy toiletries and still give some to family, the local food bank and local homeless shelter. Okay, I did buy some razors, lol. As her career progressed, she stayed in higher end hotels, the toiletries turned to high end products.
What was vet profession thaf ace traveled so much
If they run out and don't want to use your items, they're also welcome to the nearest Target.
Now the toiletries are screwed into the wall :/ but 99¢ refillable shampoo bottles are easy to come by 😎@@kenyonbissett3512
I don't have a selection of hotel minis,but guests are welcome,if they forget something, to use my stuff,but what I won't do is fully stock a bathroom with everything possibly necessary for a house guest, I just expect people to bring their own stuff. Isn't that the norm? X
What I love about your videos is that you’re shedding light on the backstage stuff, the inner workings of making money doing content, that non content creators don’t know a thing about. Just remembering they get a cut off that does make me feel better about what I have and not feel bad about my life not looking like this. Thank you!
Because she's an idiot, getting paid for HER condesending content, who doesn't know people make FLAVORED ICE especially for holiday parties so REGULAR ICE doesnt' DILUTE guests's drinks?? You people deserve each other. YOU pay her to make YOU feel superior.
I appreciate this video so much! I was watching a video earlier and I was thinking “man I need to go to Sam’s and stock up” but I don’t! I don’t have 8 kids to feed-it’s just myself, my husband and our 2 boys and although they are a teenager and a kindergartener I don’t have to restock like I’m feeding a football team! Thank you for posting this! I’m a new follower of yours and this is rather refreshing to see!
A very important topic to cover is how many of these "faceless" influencers could in fact be hired models working from a 1by1 metre studio alongside 300 more such hand models, making money for a content farm.
That's a disturbing thought.
That sounds like an episode of black mirror.
Nailed IT!
Like ghost kitchens.
@@samsmith6169 It’s not because this type of industry already exists
The fact that the third woman emptied out BONNE MAMAN jars that are already known for being aesthetically pleasing into a different set of aesthetic jars drives me up the wall! It makes no sense to move something from a GLASS JAR into another GLASS JAR!
I literally save my bonne maman jars to put other things in because they're THAT cute! (Stuff like homemade sauces or extra chopped veggies usually, not...other stuff that already came in packaging, lol.)
Especially because the new jars will for sure contain more bacteria in them than the original one. And you're never allowed to go to the store and just randomly pick an item you like when you don't have a special container for it. Also you have to completely empty every container before restocking or produce even more waste. What if in one week I prefer raspberry jam over cherry jam, but have to eat everything in the fridge before I can buy new one? I'll never understand this.
@@zegct1I put my Q tips in them.
I LOVE those jars. I use them all over the house to store things. They're the cutest!
I'm just clicking on this now and haven't seen that part yet,and just reading this makes me preannoyed! 😂
I can't smell. I can't imagine not being able to see if the food is still good. There is also an other big issue I see with losing the labels. My household has many different allergies, so we always need to be able to see what is in the food. I also have friends with food restrictions, and if they come over I want to be able to see if they can eat the food and drink the drinks. Without a label all of that would be impossible. I would never throw away packaging unless the food is finished since you can never know what will happen.
Exactly!! The lack of lables quickly makes these houses become inaccessible and unsafe for people (even for people with no allergies cause where are the experiation dates??)
These fridge content creators, I bet this isn't even their fridge! By how spotless and absolutely new and in perfect condition the fridges ate, They must rent an AIRBNB to film that!
What kind of MONSTER puts ketchup in a JAR?! You need the little spouty thing. Are you gonna *spoon* your ketchup next to your air fried fries or pour it from the jar??? No. You need the spouty thing, you monster
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
This comment is gold 🤣
Not to mention the peanut butter.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 monster!!!!
Definitely defeats the purpose. Extra dishes to clean as well.
I try to buy glass bottle versions so I can recycle ♻️ not as convenient but so much better for the planet 🌏
You made me go from "wow must be nice to have money" to " wow do i really need to waste my money on all that"
It sounds like she accomplished her mission, then. lol. And I completely agree.
Fr duh
Exactly. “Wow. Wish I had that money. So I could do NOT THAT with it.”
It's really all unnecessary stuff.
It's certainly fantastic to have that money. But not to live like that. xD
I'm so happy that I found you! Your content is very sorbering and thoughtfull. It's good to know that these Instagram reals are a performance, not only for people living in the US but also for someone like me living in the East block who would think "omg, look how abounding they live in the west countries, what am I doing here, I should immigrate!" So helpful! Thank you!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your messages- I love the thought, the delivery, the research, and the ridiculous insight you have! It is beautiful! It gives pause to all the creators/ and influencers and their curated products! So thank you for doing it for me!!!
If I were a teacher, i would show this video to my students for media literacy and to show young minds that this isn't real life.
Yes indeed! I'm going to show my grandkids this.
This is a brilliant idea for a class!!!
good idea!
Wow. I'm a teacher. Thank you for the idea.
I am a teacher, was thinking this exact thing.
If someone said I had to restock everything in my bathroom so they could be a guest, I would send her a list of hotels.
🤔 I always bring my own stuff. Why would I expect a host to know what I need?
@@buschhuhn9197 Exactly, I always bring my own shit with me. I'm very particular about what products I use (for medical and ethical reasons), so I'm pretty sure that none of the places I stay at have them readily available.
(the friend isn't real)
It’s obviously clickbait to sell those types of products. There is no “friend”.
I’m vegan, and I always bring my own stuff if I am staying with a friend. That one literally made me laugh out loud, but it was fun to watch.😅
Thanks for spreading the concept of CRITICAL THINKING and LOVE 💕
The sound of stacking, fiddling with stuff etc makes me wanna throw up.
The sad part is that we pay for it by watching it.
Hearing my kids watch game streams where everyone has the same annoying voices is the most stressing thing I live through in my life
Heinz: Spends millions of dollars and years of R&D to create an easy dispensable catsup bottle that keeps the sauce fresh, is easy to store, removes the need for a utensil to spread it and avoids having to shake the bottle like the old school glass bottles.... Influencer: I took that personally.
😂 on point!
Imagine opening a dozens of lattes just to pour them into glass containers and let them rot before their expiration date because you opened them. I CANT
Not to mention having to sterilize all those between uses.
I truly agree with you 100%!
And the little bit that is left in the original bottle!
@Saezimmerman this was my exact thought 😅
I remember the first time I saw those plastic milk cartons in a store...I was like, "What?? Why?" LOL
omg i love you so much. what a great way of approaching this topic without "shaming" or throwing negativity towards other people. I think that what you say is super important and it will help thousands of people. Thank you for taking your time to analise this and share your thoughts ❤ looking forward to more videos like this!
Food processing plants have specialized equipment and facilities to sterilize and maintain the food quality , also preserving the food in original packaging. The repackaging food is not only wasted time for those who are not in influencers business. I like organizing my home to be productive not to burden myself to look like fancy warehouse !! It’s free country and it’s your hard earned money. Everyone should decide own their own . I am so amazed that you point out the flaws of the restocking video for the general public! Thank you for being so helpful , honest and brave!
A lot of these containers take up more space than the original packaging!
True 😂
I was cringing at all the dead space in the cheese/deli meats/etc boxes in the fridge restock. x.x
21:10 let's be honest, the labels on the clear containers are for nothing else than aesthetic. No one will mistake eggs for avocados because there wasn't a label.
I actually do have a label in my fridge on the egg department (like that little place in the door for eggs). I write the expiration date on the label with chalk marker. And sometimes I prep fruit and veggies for the week. If it's a container with multiple parts in it, I also use the chalk marker to write on the small side what's in the container. Everything else I am pretty sure is visible on first glance in my fridge 😂
Good point.
This gotta be one of the stupidest trends I've ever seen.
i do label everything tho, but mostly because i need to know what food i prepared and when, so that i eat them before they go bad. So it kinda resembles a lab refrigerator rather than an aesthetic one xD kinda sad and only prepared food or opened containers of yogurt or milk have them tho. Then again, this is because i do need that kind of order, and it does tire me out to do so.
in my house, the labels on the clear containers are erasable things to show the expiration date of whatever's in the container, or specifically for the spice drawer, because I can't usually identify them by smell alone
I love that you are still invested to all these details. Because to me it's not a big deal, but now I see the issues!!! 😂❤😅😊
The veganism stuff really makes me sad bc I’m order to buy all that stuff that is “good for the planet” ur actually over consuming and probably not using what you already have… which is not good for the planet
Best comment
The expiration date point is SO IMPORTANT 🤯
I don’t think they threw away the actual expiration dates. Just the bottles
When I restock dry goods into jars I write with Posca the expiry date on the jar. 👍🏻 Sometimes it is pointless because the product is used way before this date, because here in Europe the products are not so big like in the US (at least what I’ve seen online). 😅
These aren’t families of 8 that’ll use it all up before expiration.
That gal that did the food restock videos makes an expiration date sticker that she puts on the bottom of the bottles and jars. She showed it in one of her reels.
Yes!!!! Every time I have to put food in a container (like flour that is now open) I cut the piece that has the expiration date, the name of what is in there and the cooking time (like when it’s pasta) and tape on my glass jars 😂 not asthetic, but very safe for sure
The purse video, reminds me of being a kid and getting my first handbag... I was 7, I had nothing to put in it apart from my "twinkle purse" so I walked round the house popping things in it like vaseline from the bathroom cabinet, a spoon from the kitchen 😂
One of my favorite things to do is see what’s in a little girl’s purse! They have the most interesting things!
🤣 That is adorable!
Omg you unlocked memories 🥹😂
I shoved a bunch of markers and gel pens, a tiny impartial notepad, different chapsticks from an entire pack of chapsticks, and different, most likely already old candy that I just had into mine at 8.
😂
I can tell you now half, though markets and gel pens would lose their cap and just stain the inside of whatever bag it was an if the candy wasn't old it went into the bag to die and either stay old or melt and ruin in the inside because I left it in the car because kid me was not into carrying a bag, lol.
😂
I am binging all your influencer insanity videos!!! Finally a truly consistent commentary about this. I am so naive to these things because I am not on socmed much. But I do have a small business. And I need to be aware where do the lines cross in posting things, sharing what kind of content, and the goal. Please know that this is not just a criticism video, it’s educational!
❤❤❤❤❤
Yes you're correct. The Influencer Insanity EP 1 was the 1st video I've watched from you and was actually impressed at your honesty and pointing out the most obvious. I believe "influencers" are not necessary as we should decide what is good for "US" and our lifestyle. I don't subscribe to too many channel but happy to include you in my list. Keep on doing what you're doing! I KNOW it's time consuming but it's good information to have out there! I always say "you do YOU!"!
This kind of content took off shortly after the Kardashian “pantry tours”. What people fail to realize is that there were stylists hired to specifically stock and over-organize those pantries for people who do not shop or cook for themselves to fill empty spaces for visual appeal in an otherwise unused area. It’s aesthetically acceptable hoarding.
Yep, and even if it was their fridge, they have professional chefs. So it's not their fridge. It's the fridge of someone who gets paid by billionaires to keep the fridge looking nice, among other things.
"It's aesthetically acceptable hoarding." That's exactly what it is.
That, and the budget.. They can afford to essentially have an edible food installation producing $1000 of waste product needing replacing daily, what's 30k a month on a fully stocked fridge when they are making more than a million a week? It's ultra wasteful but they can afford to be. Normal people making enough to survive but not really enough to thrive really shouldn't take on something like that.
Yes I wonder if these are professional cleaners and organizers who do this for ultra rich clients. My aunt preps vacation houses on a lake as part of her cleaning business and I think part of the job is similar to this. I don’t think any of this is for regular people.
I love the term "aesthetically acceptable hoarding". I will have to remember that one. ;)
I love the lady that cleans hoarder houses for free. I also love the guy that cleans vents, a guy that cleans roofs, a guy that fixes dead spots in grass, and the septic tank guy
And the mowing guy!! SBMowing, if I'm not mistaken. He mows overgrown lawns for free! So satisfying to watch
There’s also a guy (“post” somebody) who unclogs storm drains and it’s so satisfying when it really starts flowing!
@@katiem3626 yesssss I love watching the water whoosh! Plus I’m amazed how grass and trees can grow anywhere
Aurikatarina? I know I spelled wrong but god I love her 😭 also Midwest magic, the dude is hilarious (I have no clue his real name since he changes it every video)
Aurikatariina!!! She actually washes all her microfiber towels at home too!!!!
I am actually happy I found this series from you. It kinda makes me feel a lot better that I am not this “perfect” with my home, life, or children.
i used to be a teenager with eating disorder. i was captured and enslaved by the concept of aesthetic, nice-looking food. the food was my god, but i couldn't afford to eat it all, bc i was afraid to gain weight. so i found it satisfactory to buy large amount of food and store it in my room. of course i had a limited finances, but i used to dream about how i'd have it all one day. actually, one day i ruined everything and ate it away, i was ashamed for loosing control. maybe i'm kind of a rare species, but this content provokes anxiousness: i"m afraid to lose control again only by looking at it
When I see restockers doing things like opening dairy products and pouring them in separate, single-serve containers, all I can think is, "Great, now you've introduced bacteria into that." Many items will have an expiration date of say, 2 weeks from now...with the caveat of "once opened, consume within 3-5 days", so are they then consuming those contents, now introduced to bacteria, in that time frame? And then think about things like the ketchup bottle. The bottle is perfectly designed to keep the contents inside very sanitary, that's why it lasts for weeks. But once you have to scoop it out of a bowl, you introduce new bacteria with every dip (God forbid someone licks a spoon and double dips too). It's just, honestly, gross. Pretty does not always mean functional...or sanitary.
These exact thoughts are what arrest my hands from committing stupidity in the name of “aesthetics for instagram”
Id love to see travel vloggers?
The milk bottle doesn't reseal itself...
@@Ftjxmmgedbut it has expire date on it 😂 does the container this influencer pour everything in have that?
Didn’t see much of that
@@NgaBalkan no, but the argument was that the container got opened to pour out the milk. How else do you pour out milk?
I think for me the creepiest thing about that first grocery restock is that there's no, like ... ingredients to actually COOK with. There's produce, snacks, condiments, sliced cheese, and sliced meat, but there's nothing to actually make dinner with. So you know there's an entirely separate fridge that probably actually just looks like a fridge that they use to make dinner and store the overstock that they aren't pointing a camera at.
Or worse… this is what they eat all day. This and take out.
So you never have omelettes? And you store breads in the fridge? There are some unrealistic stuff in that video, but those are the foods we tend to have in our fridge. Rice and such are elsewhere.
Yes! Where are the packages of meat? Or the different kinds of vegetables I need to cook something up? Where are the leftovers? It's like the uncanny valley, but with a refrigerator instead of people. You look at it and it KIND of looks like the real thing but off somehow on a level you can't quite put your finger on. Also, when I want to grab ketchup out of the refrigerator I don't want to read 10 different little labels, I want to just grab the bottle that I know is ketchup because it is ketchup shaped. Hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, BBQ sauce and stir fry sauce would be a whole little nightmare of same-color jars.
also no room for air circulation. half that gonna get frozen
@@NoelleTakestheSky I only have ingredients in my fridge, as it is unusual to have snacks at home in the country I live in. So I have carrots, potatoes, different kinds of greens, oat milk and meat or tofu in the fridge.
recanning things from their original containers just makes me worry about botulism
This video that you have posted is refreshing to say the least. What few times I have watched these restocking videos.I actually wonder who really lives like this who really does this. Thank you for posting this.I think it's important and necessary.
As a teen girl in the 70s , just the occasional teen magazine made me hate my nose and my body. I can’t imagine how much more damaging today’s media messages are to girls.
Girls are much more media savvy now than perhaps they were in the 70s. And teens have some built in resilience. It's scary to us, but I wouldn't worry too much about Gen Zs, they seem like a good bunch.
@@DizzyBusyL take. The beauty standards that are being shoved down our throats today are unmatched and being ‘media savvy’ is totally irrelevant.
@@phoebe5715 Of course media literacy matters, so does having access to better mental health care, these are powerful shields against tiktok brainwashing.
Conversely, when I was a child, no way in hell would I see people who look like me being represented in media as beautiful or desirable. Back then it was all flat-bodied, white, blonde women. And when they weren't white, they were still flat-bodied and often blonde. Tell me again how the media representation of women today is worse than even 20-30 years ago? Not to mention 80-100 years ago...
Also, what's an L-take? Lesbian take?
@@DizzyBusyI’m Gen Z born in ‘99: it is extremely damaging. I don’t understand where y’all get this from lol plenty of Gen Z content creators talk about the negative effects of social media and culture. It’s really sad what it’s done to us.
@@DizzyBusyYouths getting fillers, botox, and plastic surgery has surged to really high levels in Gen Z. Gen Alpha is already getting pressured to spend adult money to buy expensive skin care before they’re even 13.
There is always a big side of extremes but I don’t think media literacy matters when overconsumption-based influencers can dominate a market this strong.
Who is washing all of those storage containers!!!! Its an absolute NO for me
You're kidding right? If they're not in containers, they would have been placed in Tupperware. Good grief.
The nanny of course, you pleb
they get themselves a dishwasher with all that influencer money they get out of suckers
Their coerced slave servants 😢 this people are psychopath...
@@cheesewithxbread wooosh
I hope you cover all these “influencers” that do non-stop “hauls” (clothing, jewelry, etc). When people watch them day after day they start to think that constant shopping is normal.
Great video! Another group of influencers to watch out for doing content like this (consumable gadgets and products, single use, impractical travel things inside your own home) is doomsday preppers. There is a difference between people who prep for a hurricane knocking out the power for a week (totally reasonable, not hoarding or overspending), and the people who are "preppers" for an imagined societal collapse. There are so many influencers who take advantage of people's fear to turbo charge their paranoia and biases just to sell them prepping products. Hundreds of EDC (every day carry) kit videos, multiples per channel even. Product advertisements for knives, pouches, wallets, tiny single use items. You'll notice a lot of them focus heavily on defense and individualist mindsets for handling a crisis; they very rarely focus on building community with their neighbours, sharing resources, or containing their prepping to realistic scenarios. It leads to massive hoarding problems, food wastage (putting rice into a bucket instead of keeping it in its sealed bag...), and overspending to an obscene amount.
And again just like with these restockers, there can of course be overlap with totally normal product usage. Some people like to do bushcraft or camping stuff, or have a first aid kit and a torch in their bag with them when they travel (I always do as I'm first aid trained for my work) but too often it is to an extreme level in these accounts.
I used to envy people on instagram with their lifestyle and wishing I had it, but then something inside me snapped one day, and now I'm just living my best life with what I have
Go you!!! Me too!!! ❤❤❤
That's awesome❤
Exactly
Best way to be 😀
Snapped, or woke up? Glad you saw the light.
Because nothing says “home” like a refrigerator that looks like it belongs in a convenience store
I am feeling like she works at a bed and breakfast or something where the drinks are included or they don't have the large convenience store-type fridge. So I feel like she is stocking at work and trying to play it off as her own stash.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@monicaphillip8449 the most popular restocking influencer in my country has her own "work kitchen" . These videos make them so rich she made a second kitchen to film her videos. These influencers most likely have their own "work kitchen" or "work fridge"...
lol right, where the heck are the leftovers?! 😂😂 I need a couple bites real quick.
It plays to childhood fantasies
Hannah said, what we’re not gonna do is lie! 😂 I love her. New subscriber for sure.
I honestly love how you make these videos. I enjoy watching the restocking videos myself but also know how unrealistic they are. Not everyone can afford or justify it. Then you add the "kids fridge" videos and how crazy some are.
Now they do make that little part of OCD in my brain happy. I also do try to get my own life organized. Although to make it seem so easy is hurting some who literally can not keep up.
Thank you for making videos that talk about the influence craze. While they are entertaining, I hope more people will understand it isn't like that and doesn't have to be.
Poor/lower middle class folks often also grow up in messy environments so this ticks off both boxes of perfect tidiness and plentiful resources.
Often? No. Please speak for yourself.
@@VoltairesRevenge I am, I've seen it firsthand. Being poor means someone may not be able to afford basic cleaning supplies, or may have picked up hoarding tendencies. Most hoarders went through a time where they experienced extreme disparity, like a housefire or growing up without essentials. My family members who grew up with food scarcity have always kept their fridge PACKED with food once able, knowing they won't be able to eat it all. I don't go to rich neighborhoods and see rusty cars or old junk piled up in the yard. I'm not saying it's everyone, or even a majority, I've heard the phrase "we're poor, not trashy". But I think we're kidding ourselves if we say it's not uncommon.
It is more likely..@@VoltairesRevenge
@@TenApplesforTimeu should work in rich person house when they don't have guest coming over lol. Or go to room where they had all there crap
@@VoltairesRevenge I am, and can attest to it tbh
The waste these influencers generate and promote, especially plastic, is absolutely nauseating and unconscionable.
So many problems with this chick. Where to start.. First off, she has called attention to a certain type of video she calls “restock content”. So under the guise of criticising the overconsumption and wastefulness promoted in these videos, she has piqued people’s interest so that y’all are most likely going to seek out these videos if only to see what the hype is about. She has admitted to following at least one of these content creators she has put on blast. So now you’re really intrigued. Then at the end, after all her mock concern about what these content creators are promoting, she goes and recommends other specific creators to watch instead and has a LINK for the people she has promoted. Then she asks you to interact with her video by leaving a comment to “recommend” other channels etc. etc. This girl is gasp getting paid to (un)promote both these types of videos AND the certain content creators she has links for. Her target audience is YOU. The suckers that actually think she gives a hoot about overconsumption and waste and saving the planet and being a more responsible human being etc etc. This is a scam. These “anti-promoters” are ACTUALLY PROMOTING and getting paid for it. Don’t trust ANYTHING you see and dont go telling your life story in the comment section where the main purpose is to get this video to a bigger audience so that she makes more money. Peace out.
I know! It’s makes me feel nervous and a little sick watching these, not jealous
This! Even if you aren't buying from them, watching and engaging with their content enables their wasteful behavior.
Agreed. Influencers should be expected to "influence" responsibly just like big corporations are obligated to operate in an environmentally friendly way.
Exactly. People will say “well it’s their money” like it’s not OUR planet.
I just want to say thank you for the reassurance after each video. It is very comforting.
OMG thank you Hannah this is so true this is why I stay off social media
I absolutely HATE that she put her ketchup in a jar. Girl if we're having a bbq at your house, i am bringing my own ketchup.
right!! unless she boiled her jars beforehand it's just going to make all the condiments go bad
Trueeeee!!
And the rest in the bottle??? Just NOOO!
Agreed. The fancy ice fridge was extra, but the "real" fridge makes absolutely no sense.
Lol yeah plus the addition of having to clean everything out before the next restock.
This series is my new guilty pleasure watching people lie to make themselves look better, and being called out on it gives me a warm, tingly feeling 😂
😂same
Our guilty pleasure 🤣
Same😅
I also really like those videos, where people recreate Instagram influencer lifestyle pictures with the most modest (or at least clearly fake) stuff to show what's (often) really happening.
Like, a picture between exotic plants, like you're in the Carribbean. Well, they're probably just in a garden centre with a bikini and good lighting.
Look at this white sand! On this construction site. This blooming maddow, an un-mowd piece of lawn between a gas station and a highway, plus a great angle.
An then, of course, there's rentable stuff like parts of the inside of a private jet, designer clothes and bags, furniture, cutlery, decorations, curtains etc. You can rent an entire interior for a day and take pictures with you in it, before returning it.
Fun (fact) little story for that: A couple of hundred years ago, pineapples in Europe were SO expensive that only the very, VERY rich could afford them.
Those who weren't rich, however, could RENT a pineapple for a dinner party, then return it for the next to rent, until it was too rotten for display (and it obviously was display only).
So, back then you could actually invest everything you had (if you already had quite a bit!) in buying a single pineapple and renting it to other people who wanted to show off.
Times haven't change that much. xD
Right
Great video! Thanks for keeping us grounded in such an unrealistic world! Lol👍🏾
Ugghhhhhh...the fact that the government allows this to be written off as a "business" is just gross. And a sign of the times.
I almost got sucked into these until I watched one clip where someone poured a new jug of milk into a pitcher with old milk in a fridge restock. I almost cried and immediately noped out of there. 😂
Oh my gosh nooooo 😂 I can smell that milk right now
Blegh, stocking like a grocery store but they don't even know to follow FIFO!!!! 😂😂😭😭
@iluv2cheer176 that's rule #1!
And sometimes, the pretty jug is too small, so they still have to store the original container somewhere.
Oh gosh, that is horrible. Horrible! I bet they did it to garner rage comments to bump the algorithm.
this is so unimportant compared to the rest of the video but as an asmr lover, i hate how they dont realize that asmr means "nice pleasing sounds" instead of "slam everything down to make it make as much noise as possible"
Yes this was so aggressive
Exactly. If influencer #2 is this mad at her taco cheeses, she needs to find a new brand (although I like that sort sometimes, maybe she should try cotija or something that triggers her rage a scosche less).
And if influencer #3 is that mad at her imaginary vegan friend and this scenario that she made up from whole cloth, maybe she should only buy the friend one new bottle of Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi drops- she probably won’t use them both while she’s there, unless she’s visiting New Orleans and planning to moonlight as a bronze Statue-man (in which case, buy your own work supplies. Actually, no- just buy at least the bulk of your own toiletries-such a stupid premise for a video “POV”). Or keep 2-3 of those crystals and snuggle them for your own peace of mind/their calming effects- your guest probably brought her own or won’t need all of them, and the Product SuperSlam 2024 contestant making the video needs all of the help she can get. She should just start showing videos of folding chairs that she stores in an aesthetically pleasing manner before she breaks them over her opponent’s heads in cage matches- perhaps that would quell her rage.
I’m sorry for the rant. I grew up in a “slamming often equates to anger” household and I can’t imagine how anyone would find these banging videos pleasant, but that’s not the case for everyone. Still, it really set my teeth on edge and I came in (to the comments) hot.
Yes!
Exactly. For me, it can be scissors cutting paper. But these "sexy voices" (mostly just popping salvia 🤔) and nail tapping ones are annoying and they make up the majority of ASMR.
same, as an asmr lover I hate how asmr is used now as a trend, to describe basically just opening things with long nails and making as much noise as possible. it makes me uncomfortable tbh, makes my heart race in a bad way lmao.
I love this video. I used to get discouraged that I can't "keep up" with trends and how things appear in videos. It doesn't happen. I appreciate you saying this is their job and it's like celebrities who look great. If I ever feel like I don't like good, I remind myself that if I had money to have a trainer, cook, make up artist, etc... I would look amazing!
This video was actually sooo informative. I never even looked at those videos from the "it's their job to sell those products" point of view - mostly because I never even really thought much about them haha. But even if I only watch the occasional restock video through the Insta algorithm without actively following or looking into any of those accounts, you made some really really interesting and good points in your video that'll now have me look at a lot of social media differently, so thank you for that fun and insightful (and important!) input :)
Omg your this video could not have been recommended to me at a better timing. I was reorganising my kitchen and found this influencer video with oil/sauces/spices organising ideas. Bottles and boxes and container of things. She said “this kitchen says that you’re a put together, responsible adults”. I went to Amazon to buy all of those. Put them in the basket. And then I took a CZcams break and this video came up. 5 mins later I emptied my Amazon basket worth 200 something euros. Thank you and now I don’t feel too bad anymore. My kitchen is clean and just fine!

This video made me empty my Amazon cart.
As a Food Safety & Quality Assurance Director, these kitchen restocks are absolutely horrifying. We spend huge portions of our operating costs on safe, sterile packaging, rigorous hygiene standards, and reducing the footprint of our products. Not to mention, we'd be fined out of existence and lose our licenses to operate if we skip a single word on a label that is meant for consumer safety. What these people are doing is the exact opposite and it's infuriating.
I have nieces with food allergies and I have to keep a close eye on labels for anything that I will be cooking...I also make things for my husband and son that include those allergens so keeping things in their containers with their labels is extremely important.
The only storage containers I use are for eggs. I’ve accidentally crushed a dozen eggs in my fridge and spent a good hour cleaning my fridge. So the acrylic egg holders are worth it. Nothing else
Oh my, may i ask if chemistry degree can land a job like yours? What kind of qualification you are looking? Or something to help with the interview?
Agree as a pharmacist/QA executive in pharma 😂
U can't compare to a consumer
I am so happy i found you! Thank you so much! The world needs to see your videos!!!❤
Hi Hannah, I've just found your channel and I as a Mum of 3 plus 2 step kids who struggles with mental health illness I wanted to say how much I appreciate your content! I am so easily pulled in by these influences with aesthetically pleasing homes and I spend a lot of time beating myself up that I could never achieve this! You've helped me realise that these videos are simply unrealistic and not something I need to aspire to in order to be "worthy". Thank you ❤xxx
You got this and you’re doing great!!
