| | Welcome, Burning my biscuits! We are glad to have you out of lurking and on the thread. I’m shocked more people haven’t joined you after that condescending video Bliss put out. I’m still amazed that after 3 failed marriages and countless personality shifts that more people who know Karen personally haven’t posted here. She must be the luckiest person in the world to be standing on two feet with a roof over her head after all of her failures yet she has the nerve to expect more compensation for less efforts. |

| She is probably making more than some people who are educated and work full-time at a real job. She’s completely lost the plot to feel entitled to 100K followers and $100K/year. She could get there if she put the work in. Doesn’t her daughter need more money, too? I know she isn’t the golden child, but why not feature her on the channel a couple times per month with Seasons of Life/Mother-Daughter talk? Day trips around Ohio and PA with little CJ. There are so many opportunities but she wants to do the bare minimum. I bet tons of business owners in Ohio and PA would love to be on her channel. Forget about Jodes and Fourtch’s friends. Introduce fresh faces and make new pals.
I get that she isn’t 50 anymore like she was when the channel first started (even younger, actually). The past several years have been really challenging for everyone. But to scale back 90% of her efforts then sulk that the viewers don’t care anymore is completely placing the blame in the wrong direction. |

| I have a feeling she isn’t being given more sponsorship opportunities because her engagement is fairly low. She doesn’t post to social media (Pinterest, Instagram) unless she is linking something that quickly disappears. After a decade as a link con, she hasn’t learned much.
To those who need a refresher, this is what Karen used to do for her brand yet she wonders why people are tuned out:
- 2 fashion/beauty/decor/lifestyle videos per week averaging over an hour of content
- 1 full-length vlog per week averaging 30-45 minutes
- A blog
- An online bow teek
- A perfume/body care line
- A Subscription Fashion Box
- Several MLMs
- A unique approach with sharing the channel with a friend
Now we get:
- A weekly newsletter written by her assistant which is just links that mentions what she won’t show us
- One or two 10-20 minute videos sitting on her couch vaguely talking about what she won’t show us
- An IG broadcast channel that never stops asking stupid questions to get you to use her links for a *lippie* that went out of style 8 years ago
- Weight gain yet has a defunct fitness Facebook account
- Horrendous eyebrows
- A changed personality with no true passion for anything but validation and easy money
- Phony promises of sweet friendship, I love yous, and more content to come
GET REAL, Karen! |

| MeeMaw minions, lol!
I have never seen someone cut their work load by 90% but complain that they are working harder than ever and need to scale back more! She expects growth when she offers nothinggg of substance or creativity! Big Bliss won’t share her life and is smug about it. It’s truly unbelievable! She still gets 5-10K views on her videos. Given her output and effort, I’d say those are fantastic numbers! Talk about entitled. |

| Audra must really love Adam. 3 potential step-kids at her age with none of her own is a lot to take on. I wonder if she wants her own children or if she will appreciate the time they are able to enjoy alone when Bri gets her custody time.
Bri’s remarks about Adam are seemingly so out of touch with reality that the only conclusion we can draw is that she tried to put the moves on him but he rejected her. I truly think she expected him to come crawling back to her after she dumped Boat Boy. She is a terrible, manipulative person and probably tried to seduce him or destroy his relationship with Audra, thus all the shade about praying he finds someone she can be friends with. Bri is an unstable nightmare. Why would any sane woman want any sort of “friendship” with that level of crazy? People aren’t as stupid as Bri wishes they were. She’s actually the dumb one in the situation and now she’s left to whine like a petulant child for not getting her way. |

| It was incredibly dumb and rude of her to brag about her social life and how she doesn’t share that anymore. That’s what people subscribed for! Don’t call someone your sweet friend and tell them you love them but inform them that they just aren’t welcome to share her real life. She isn’t a friend. She’s a shill. All she cares about is making money from her audience and that requires a certain amount of clicks.
I always compare it to speaking in an auditorium. She has thousands of women who watch her. Yes the numbers are down but that’s because her presentations are phoned in and repetitive. But even if she lost 90% of her viewership, that is still a lot of people who are interested. If she’s connecting with even 100 subscribers, that should mean something to her with what she is bringing to the table. Her ego and entitlement are out of control.
Either share your real life and be consistent to hope for growth or share nothing and be satisfied with less. |

| Thanks for the confirmation. I have loved snail sheet masks for years. Not sure if it’s the same principle. I have a sunspot on my face that I want to fade and will give this a go. It seems affordable.
Karen truly is a piece of work. She always poses these changes as if she is doing us a favor instead of acknowledging her own failure. Then you have all of the minions blessing her choice as if it’s a step in the right direction. Her views are down because she isn’t working hard or smart at her channel. You can’t expect growth if you don’t put forth the effort. People want to see vlogs. That requires sharing your real life or creating new content with fresh faces. She just wants to sit on the couch and link lippies. It ain’t gonna work. |

| | I would love to hear Karen explain what “enzyme technology” is. lol. As someone who has extensive skincare experience, particularly with Clarins, serums are designed as boosters for moisturizers. They are made to be paired together. If she is going to spend that much on Double Serum, it would behoove her to place a moisturizer of any kind on top of it. If she applied the right amount, especially at night, by morning, there would be no sagging that she speaks about. |

| I just checked the comments and she replied to someone that her friends don’t want to be on the channel because of hateful people (us) and she needs to protect her family from the creeps.
She is just too lazy to vlog anymore and not creative enough to float the videos without her booze crew. Screw Jodes. Her viewers showered that witch with gifts. So there are a dozen strangers on an online forum who make a few jokes. Get over yourself! These people want nothing but praise and adoration. Find some other friends who support your ambitions rather than holding you back. Did it ever occur to Karen that her friends and family don’t like that she is making easy money and has “fans”? |

| Karen is the most predictable person on the planet. Of course she is switching to one video per week because “it’s a lot of work.” Her videos are 10 minutes of her sitting on the couch. She used to do 2 30-45 minute videos per week in addition to a long vlog. Talk about lazy! She is clearly obsessed with Josie after I mentioned her on this thread as well as Lauren Nicholsen’s thread. “Some people I watch have hour long videos.” Josie’s hour long videos are 3 times per week and full of one ad after another. Karen doesn’t have the brain capacity or attention span to watch long YouTube videos so she surely isn’t going to share it with her viewers.
She talks about how we don’t see all of her life, only snippets, and all of the things she does do with her friends and family when the cameras aren’t rolling. She just doesn’t get it. People subscribed for the vlogs. If she isn’t going to share that with her viewers, she needs a reality check. No one wants to see the boring filler!
I love how Karen asks about switching to one video per week after she already implemented it. What a lazy excuse for a content creator. She has the easiest job on the planet but can’t be bothered to share her life anymore yet expects people to support her through links. |

| | The whole thing is such a trashy mess. I can only imagine what the other parents and people in the neighborhood must say about Bri. She is a lunatic. |

| | Mornings were a nightmare when I was straight out of college. I can’t imagine that lifestyle in my 50s or 60s. She is miserable! I doubt the ratings are good. It might get canceled before she has a chance to quit. I can see them retaining her for correspondent work. |

| | I remember my First Holy Communion in second grade and what a production it was with the dresses and veils. I was so self-conscious bc my Mother went all out. It was such a show and back then the most we had was professional photos or a camcorder. Kids that age shouldn’t feel pressured to have the best dress for the internet. It’s ridiculous. What’s next? A party bus? Nonalcoholic Jello shots? lol! I bet most of the kids don’t even like to dance. |

| It looks like Lauren still had super dark eyeshadow for her wedding. She said it was very warm that day despite the fall wedding, so I bet her makeup melted off with her heavy dress and veil by the time that photo was snapped.) I bet the makeup artist probably tried to tone down Little Orchid as well. Lauren and I are both early February Aquarians with a Mom born around now in April.
Karen and her “evenings and weekends” visitation rights lol. Sure, Jan. She’s like a divorced parent. Did she ever even mention Zach and Lyndzzzz? I thought that they had a baby due in March?! Karen said something during Easter basket prep but then never a peep. Did I miss something? Was there a name? I already forget. I vaguely remember now that Karen said the name…Romy? But no picture or updates. I doubt Karen has even seen the baby. |

| | Are there Mother-Son dances, too? 😬 Or is that why Bri bought the sequin mermaid prom gown for the cruise? Didn’t get her chance to shine with Landon? lol. It’s all so creepy. I don’t find it sweet or innocent at all. At that age, I loved to dance but we had street dances in the neighborhood where there was live music and the whole community came out. This feels forced and more for the stage mothers of Instagram. |
