Why is xiaxue so famous

Twitter is still authentic — I really love Twitter lah. Your character in LifeSpam is desperate to succeed at being an influencer. What are your thoughts on influencers? I hate influencers. They are the worst.

Yes, but I started out being a blogger! At least in the past, you needed a bit more substance to be a blogger. There are very stupid bloggers as well. But at least there was a bit more effort. You are just a model in a picture. You are not you, you are just there as part of the photo. Your captions are just stupid quotes about life copied from somewhere. Laughs At least there is this interview part. Why do so many people want to be influencers? Which are you more impressed by?

Xiaxue's make-up skillz or her Photoshop skillz? Either way, both contribute to the version of herself she puts out on platforms such as Instagram. Oh yes, Photoshop. But you, too, post pictures of yourself where you look quite different from your real self.

Have you seen my ISIS make-up tutorial [where she shows how to achieve the look of a bearded ISIS fighter who tried to disguise himself as a woman with hilariously garish make-up]?

People are very angry about it. Laughs They are annoyed even before they watch it — you go and watch lah. A combination of both, I guess. To me, the picture of the guy was really, really funny.

Do it! I try to anticipate what people will say, and have a counter. Some influencers post pictures for free stuff, some only post about stuff they like, while some post only if they're paid. How do we know what to trust? Like if someone sends me make-up or stuff.

Things got a bit better after the whole Gushcloud expose [in , where she accused the influencer marketing company of inflating revenues and blogger stats, and of pretending that paid posts were not ads].
