    TO BE CLEAR: I'm aware that almost EVERY company has customers who experienced bad situations. There's a horror story from a customer from EVERY company I've done a haul for. NOT EVERYONE HAS THE SAME EXPERIENCE, PERIOD. This video was not made to say "look at little ol' me being scammed, please give me sympathy". NO! This video was made to inform people that it's not all glitz and glamour behind the scenes as an influencer. Some companies want fake personas and fake reviews and don't want to pay people what they are worth. The MAIN MESSAGE of the video was to tell viewers to know their worth, to never sell their integrity and to always be genuine and transparent.
    Thank you all for the support and genuine concern. I love you all! Thank you for rocking with me!

I told them I wouldn’t take the video down, then they offered to PAY me to take the video down. I still didn’t. But it makes me wonder how many influencers play this game with brands. đŸ€”

      Right! It kills me when these million/billion dollar companies lie and say they can't afford to pay you money to review and promote their products. You're helping their business and all they want to do is give you a product that probably cost them a $1 to make in a 3rd world country as payment. Also, many like to throw out that they're giving you exposure by being linked to you so that should be payment by itself. It's insulting and ridiculous.

    Smdh. PLT has been off of my list for awhile especially after watching Pleasantly Unbothered video and seeing how they did her. These companies thjnk that WoC are happy with just getting some “ free hair” or makeup or clothing. They don’t try this as much with Non WoC. Some of these companies don’t really want to deal with PoC but they want our money and they want us to promote their products but behind the scenes are trying to pay people in free products instead of cash money.
    In 2019 I’m not only cancelling problematic brands and companies but I am going to start shopping black owned when possible( yes I know there are some black companies who can be just as shady as other companies I avoid them too) Thank you for speaking out and letting your followers/subscribers know about this.

  • @kanisethorn
    @kanisethorn Pƙed 5 lety +28

    Yes!!! I was just talking about this. Especially with these hair companies... a lot of the times they say things like
    “Im a new company. Can we do it for free? I want 2 dedicated videos, 6 IG post, 2 swipe ups but I dont wanna pay you!” Like what??
    Or when you finally negotiate a price & pick your hair they will say “oh we cant send hair over this length. Im gonna send you 20” or lower.” Or “sorry, most people dont buy hair that length and thats not what we’re promoting” like how does that work?? You want to work with ME. But you wanna low ball me, AND expect me to make all these different types of content for you (again for less than my worth) AND wanna be picky over what you’re sending me?? They really play in our face!! And im over it. I really just started learning how to work around these companies and make sure Im getting what I want/deserve. They continue to put us in a box. They want us to promote them, but they dont wanna pay us our worth OR send us hair that we actually want. Over it!

Like it is hella annoying. I honestly let my assistant negotiate because sometimes I just really want to go off. Like you said, OVER IT! We work on my terms or we don't work at all.

    Bad Business! I can not stand when companies try to weasel. It’s not pulling the race it’s the truth. There has been so many black and brown influencers that say the same thing! These companies try to throw items at you instead of paying up like you don’t encourage people to go to their site and buy clothes. Now they want to play games 170k people aren’t going to spend their hard earned money on schemers. Taking advantage of people is NOT how you build you brand especially in the day of age of social media where people can make their own platform.

    I’m glad u made this honestly , some time ago I was thinking about ordering some things from them since they were having so many sales but Alissa Ashely posted on her story that they took forever to send out her items yet were still having all these different sales. She posted how there were other people having the same issues their orders taking almost a month for them to receive those items even one of my friends said they never even sent her a tracking number & she had to contact them & no one knew where the package was luckily it popped up 3 days later but damn ! That immediately turned me off so I really believe this because it seems they are focused on just the money with no improvements to anything else and this was last summer & they still haven’t put any effort into fixing their processes they are still trying to cut corners I’m glad I caught this because even after their shipping issues last year I was thinking about purchasing again & decided to check my fav CZcamsrs first and this popped up.
