[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m conflicted cause I want Jen to have success with a bona fide book containing something of value. Fun recipes with humorous anecdotes seems worthwhile. I also want her to find a healthy loving relationship after the hell of having her once sweet husband become a raging alcoholic hitting the narcs and anti anxiety meds and cheating with a much younger woman, who then leaves her and immediately finds true love with another after his 30 day rehab. 
But….everything has felt manufactured with Jen for a long time. Starting when she was covering for the slow death of her marriage. Her relationship with Tyler feels forced and artificial. Like they are both playing characters in a lifetime movie of what a middle age love affair should look like. There’s a strange projection going on that doesn’t track with legitimacy. 
As for the book and it’s celebrity endorsements I celebrate her ability to market herself and get her people to buy her wares. I honor her hustle and never say die attitude. Just wish she could do all that while maintaining her authenticity. To not pretend to care about her community because it’s her milk cow but genuinely love these devoted women who extend her endless grace. [/quote]

Jen is another crumbling cautionary tale of how a business model based on hustle culture, fake it to you make it, fraudulent influencer brand building, and constant shilling in the name of "serving your tribe" is in the end bound to be corrosive, soulless, exploitive, and ultimately unsustainable.

When it all starts to go south, and it goes south for everyone eventually, the desperation is evident.

This is why we will probably never get a Me Course on How Late Stage Capitalism Exploits The Vulnerable.  [/quote]
