because her channel produces income.

And bc the ppl who actually watch her don’t care.

have you read the comments? or just talking about sh!t you know nothing about

Actually anyone can comment when the comments are open. It makes sense that ppl like you would find her videos and post ridiculous comments. So like I said, the ppl who actually watch her don’t care (teenagers). The ppl who care don’t actually follow her. Just like the main ppl upset are older or ppl who feel like life cheated them somehow. I find this thread hilarious with the ppl acting like they are murderers and deserve so much jail time.

As someone posted on IG “Did any one else assume that celebrities paid to get their kids into college and are shocked that it’s actually illegal”

Stay mad like it effects your life and stay classy with the vulgar language.

I just can't get over how cheap and stupid they were. When you want to pay to play, you do it the legal way and shell out multi-millions. Pretty sure they would have gotten a legal tax deduction for that too even though they would have received college entrance in exchange. At least that way not only is it legal, but you contribute to society in a decent way and may help others.

Donating to get you dumb kid into college shouldn’t be legal. It’s not much better than what they did.

Maybe I'm naive as parent to a younger elementary kid, but what parents let their kids watch this vapid crap?

You are naive.

At a certain age your child is going to watch stuff you don’t agree with.

OP, don't worry: my daughter is 11.5 and she still only gets online for homework purposes, within my sight. You do not have to throw up your hands at any preset point and say, "Ahh, well! Kids will be kids!"

I'm the PP who asked--my kid is only in 2nd grade, and gets almost no screen time unless we're traveling, or it's family movie night. Oh, and occasionally a Netflix cartoon on the weekends (but typically it has to be in the language of her immersion school).

Just kind of horrified to think that she would get into these "influencers" later, and that she'd have enough unproductive time that she'd want to sit around watching it regularly instead of HW, reading a book, or extracurriculars.

Ah, you’re going to be one of those helicopter parents who pushes their kids to be stressed & over scheduled so they’ll avoid YouTube “influencers”? Got it.

PP here. Yes, we're a somewhat strict immigrant family, I'll own that. I'm just hoping my kid doesn't see social media personalities as shallow and spoiled as this one as #goals to look up to or emulate!

I'm in total agreement with you and happy to say that it is possible to raise kids that find these dumbass influencers to be lame and boring. My kids watched Olivia's youtube videos to see what the hype was about and were dumbfounded as to why she is so popular.

I disagree. You like having a gorgeous campus with beautiful buildings? Rick people with dumb as rocks kids pay for a lot of that. Those kids come and make the atmosphere lighter and less intense and they are happy to be at the bottom. Look at high schools like TJ where everything is based on smarts only. You have way too many kids thinking about suicide and/or suffering signs of mental illness because they cannot handle being in the bottom half. Kids who's parents donate millions are happy as can be to party their way into the bottom with a smile on their face and some beer in their hands.

In the words of plenty of posters on here, they still took someone’s spot. What about the poor student whose parents couldn’t afford to donate. Now they have to go to a public college and never succeed. And you cannot speak for every college about the rich kids there. There are plenty wasting everyone’s time and taking up a space that could’ve went to a student who actually wants to be there. There are plenty who are stressed bc their parents expect results and for them to follow in their steps. There are plenty partying and making poor decisions that are effecting other students lives.

I haven’t read all the threads, but I wonder what the rate of failing is for these paid to go students?

Agree 100%. Let them watch what they watch or be influenced by what they will be influenced by (as teenagers, not younger), and at least open a dialogue about it. Vapid kids come from vapid parents.

A lot of these rich families fund scholarships.

The ones at ivies are usually directed toward gut courses and it is not uncommon to take 5, 6, 7 years to graduate. They handle their C and Ds with grace and they re-take any classes where they get an F which is probably rare. They usually are much better able to cope with failure than top students when there are no dumb dumbs to take up the bottom of the class.

Most of these kids are not rich. Their parents are. Big difference.

It doesn't mean your child would get in even if these kids didn't go. The difference is this was paid to individuals profiting from it and they were lying to get kids admitted, not rich parents donating lots of money to a school to get the kids in. I think its ok to donate lots of money to a private school to get your kid accepted, but not a publicly funded one. Reality is that is how the world works and that's how things get paid for.

I just watched a vlog by the daughter. She basically skipped the first week of classes to fly to Fiji for an influencer event. She was pulling in a high six figures thanks to her hustle. She's gorgeous and already generating an income based on her growing celebrity, which begs the question: why didn't her parents simply support her business venture?

So dumb.

Now the mom and the kids are screwed.
