I am not ashamed of reading trol paradise Tattle. It exposes Griffing -influencers and their hypocrisy … I will be robbed if it is closed: Claudia Connell

The e -mail was short and relevant. “Has anyone ever told you that you have a face like the Churchill Dog?” asked the author and contacted me after I wrote about losing weight.

Then there was time, after revealing my online dating adventures, that a charming gentleman wrote a letter to tell me: “You look like a crowded bank, no wonder that you are single.”

A bit in common, but I was honest game. I had chosen to place aspects of my life in the public domain, and that comes with a price. I expected – and received – criticism. Some of them went too far, just like the comments above.

Given my personal experience with trolls, you could expect that the news Sebastian Bond, now unmasked as the man behind the Tattle Life – a gossiporum that is regularly described as ‘toxic’ and ‘a paradise for trolls’ – is successfully charged because of slander, a smile on my face. That I join the ranks of influencers who perform victory dancing while predicting the lawsuit the start of Tattle.

Not so. Because – confession time – I love Tattle, I am a member and will be robbed if it disappears. I will even go so far to say that I think it provides a valuable public service.

I became a member for the first time during Lockdown and usually contributed to Threads that recommend books, TV programs and recipes. Despite the reputation such as the covenant of malignant witches, there is also a lot of fun and helpful things.

But of course there is a lot of sharp (and often very funny) criticism of those in the public eye. Together with the 12 million other monthly users of Tattle, I also create the juicy gossip and bad take -downs.

Thanks to Tattle, I am now wise to replace certain influencers and bloggers with a history of launching fundraisers for projects that never come out. And those who charge followers for membership of online platforms and clubs and then do not deliver the goods.

I agree with the opinion of the site that if you turn your personal life into a company and then apply it in the public domain, you have to expect a certain amount of pushback.

I love the fact that Tattle points quickly when certain people do not explain that the product with which they are on Instagram are #ohmygodoorders, actually a paid approval. To be honest, if your business model requires everything you eat and wear, to what skin care you use and where you go on holiday, then – good or bad – people will have an opinion. And if you are a beauty, health or fashion, it is reasonable to expect people to comment on what you look like?

In an ideal world, nobody should be unnecessary cruel and, of course, nobody should make false accusations. I am shocked by so -called ‘Doxxing’, where information such as home addresses and medical information is published.

But just as people cash in their private life, it is unreasonable to cry ‘wrong’ when they are examined.

So many users of social media want to be able to be able to post what they like, to mention their unproven claims and then lean back and cherish in the admiration of their diehard followers.

We live in the era of the hashtag, and ironically, the #bekind One has become one of the most harmful. What started as a call to consider the feelings of others, turned into a threat that was aimed at anyone who pronounced themselves: Stay at whether we accuse you of bullying.

As a result, social media was the Wild West of the Internet for years, until Tattle stroked the city in 2018 and kept influencers to account.

Some of the Tattle Exposés of important influencers have been positive forensic. Members have access to their own version of the Wikipedia site, with a mention of carefully investigated details about some of our best -known celebrities and influencers, point to their hypocrisies, false stories and attempts to mislead.

Tattle did not accidentally become extremely popular, it flourished because we all love lusty gossip, especially when it comes to the rich and celebrities. See how grip the world was because of the Wagatha Christie case. Two football players at war on fake Instagram messages? Delicious!

What about people who view reality shows, such as Love Island? Do they coordinate for romance or because they want to participate in the WhatsApp group who want to nag about all boob jobs, turkey teeth and ducklips?

Ok, it may not be friendly or sister, but it is human nature and it is already going on millennia. The digital era does not gossip and spot, it just took it from the garden fence to the back a screen. And if you are a influencer who has become rich thanks to the internet, then it is probably time for you to grow thicker skin.

For me, Tattle is a nice, light-hearted distraction, which should be an online forum. If we finally say TA-TA to Tattle, it leaves a large, gossip-shaped hole in the lives of users such as me and the millions of lurking who secretly read but not post.

Regarding insulters: don’t you want your life, photos, claims and work to come through? There is an easy solution: don’t place it there.
