what i assumed happened is that she posted the initial video and then someone informed her the product was on Alibaba, or someone suggested that they may not be an American company. because it wasn’t until after her initial video that they reached out and she realized they wouldn’t FaceTime, so before she worked with them, it might’ve not raised any flags

They all do that too and shes a small creator so prob doesnt know how to go about it

Thanks! I definitely got more paranoid this video to make sure I wasn’t overdoing it but i appreciate the critique so I can always improve 🩷

Yeah, I don’t mind seeing a bit of what she’s talking about. I don’t watch any of the creators talked about on drama channels, but I like seeing their commentary on the subject. The creators are just so loud or just take forever. And Angelika talks faster so that’s another reason I like watching her, cause she gets to the point faster.

@@AngelikaOles Yeah, no need to get paranoid over it haha. We always love your content. I think people were just reacting in a way because it was so out of the ordinary for you to make a video like that. Perhaps they overreacted a bit (you know how the internet is haha).

@@caitlynealyssa4762 100%!!! That's why this is the only drama channel/commentary channel that I watch. Because most others take too long to get to the point haha.

@@AngelikaOleshonestly didnt mind the last video but I’m glad your taking peoples opinions into account!! Keep up the amazing work 🥰

Very good point!

I just want to clarify that it isn't AliExpress or Alibaba who steal from brands, it is individual sellers on there. That's like saying eBay steals when a seller sells a knock-off, it's on their platform and I think they should be more responsible but they aren't the ones who took the bad action and are lying to potential customers. I think in general platforms need to crack down on not just counterfeit products but ones deliberately sold as being the real thing. People stealing other people's art is a huge problem and it is on the poor real creator to get the scammers to remove the items or take legal action to force them. With technological advancements I don't see why improvements can't be made to review a claim of some copying a design, or to flag possible counterfeits.

Most TikTok shops are just drop shipping Alibaba, wish, Temu and other Chinese brands

Same they stole pics from a product we were selling on eBay for resale and took our own photos and they stole them and posted them on their product

the only time i’ve been influenced to buy something i saw on tiktok is when its food tbh

the only time I actually bought stuff due to a TikTok was makeup, and it wasn't even sponsored or anything, just a makeup tutorial as I was trying makeup for the first time and needed stuff urgently.

not all makeup is the same, but I see what you mean. most TikToks don’t have two things that any good “review” requires: credibility and context. most of the time when you are just scrolling on TikTok, the (most likely ad) videos that you see are not necessarily from people you can automatically trust, and there certainly is not enough time to add proper context about the product. to be fair though, instagram and a lot of other platforms can be the same way… and I for one am definitely guilty of being influenced by instagram 🙊

@@misseselise3864sameee or for me, nail charms. Besides that? Nope I’m good.

Lol its also always like "Do you guys see this" "Please tell me you see how amazing this is" its cringe

Not that I thought your conclusions were wild.

I also really love his sense of humor about it tbh 😅

Literally same 😂

Same!! I like when she does that so we can see what she’s talking about and don’t have to go searching for the video

Same!

Same😂

Hi! Also IP lawyer here (but more on the patent prosecution side so feel free to correct me if you have more experience in federal litigation). I think this would still be a problem for the brands if the feds come knocking even if they can blame the influencers. Generally there would be evidence that the brands knew or should have known that their products were being advertised unlawfully, thereby making them at fault contributorily. Do you see what I’m saying?

@@elizabuga4337 Hi, yes I'm not saying that the brands couldn't still be held liable, but the risk of getting in trouble doesn't outweigh the potential benefit of non-disclosure, particularly if the influencer owes the brand for any costs or penalties incurred by the brand as a result of the influencer's non-disclosure, under indemnity.

@@buriburi4087 that’s true, you’re right. It’s unfortunate how often this occurs in many industries. Med mal is rife with it; hospitals will not change their procedures that injure patients because the cost of improving care is higher than that of paying for the occasional wrongful death/med mal settlement. What you’re describing is much less serious, but an unfortunate and similar business strategy.

@@elizabuga4337 it's very frustrating because the penalties aren't great enough, or enforced often enough, to achieve the consumer protection goals of the regulations. It's the same almost everywhere (except perhaps in the EU?)

@@buriburi4087I REALLY ENJOYED THE CONVERSATION FROM 2 ATTORNEYS:) THANK YOU BOTH… WE APPRECIATE IT!

thank you 🫶🏻🩷

One of my favorite makeup content type creators talked about one of her Tik Toks but in a positive way and I was floored. I don't care who you are or how famous you are you should be able to recognize and call out a liar.

The same reason all these idiots get money, they’re entertaining. I don’t understand why out of countless amount of these individuals (not just in beauty community) mikayla chick gets the brute of the hatred, honestly no one is getting hurt and people know when they’re being advertised to, so who cares? I guess bc it’s fun to hate and critique

I could've sworn she has said it the other way cuz I used to think it was Oh-Les but now I feel like that's wrong

Me too literally for YEEEEEEARS

Yeah even so like regardless of how people dislike that girl she isn’t obligated to promote his brand, honestly influencer problems i swear 🤦‍♀️instantly disliked him with that entitlement just as entitled as her

@@user-pf1jj1dv5i she's not obligated, but there are best practices. That's no way to maintain good PR or good relationships with other brands

@user-pf1jj1dv5i she's not obligated to work with him, but there are best practices

Good point, commercials without professional actors is the perfect description. I don't understand why anyone would believe or find it entertaining to watch their bad acting while they pretend to love everything they are paid to promote. It's not even just them pretending to have fun, it's over the top and with bad intent for them to financially benefit.

Same here! I’ve been watching her for quite awhile now though so I just assumed there was a reason and forgot all about it.

Yes i thought i was the only one! Her voice is so soothing

Same

i saw a few that were upset and saying they are unfollowing for it

- and i thought that was a bit drastic measure. since if they just wait until the next video she was probably gonna adress it and explain, and she did

People were going in hard.

thank you 🫶🏻

EXACTLY!

Team book nerd!!!

hello 🫶🏻

I want them to work so much but sadly don’t for me :( I have one but I can’t use it for work as just doesn’t stop me sweating and smelling (I have a fairly on my feet job). They do smell nice though!

i havent tried wild, but i did try native and it totally masks my odor. I have hyperhydrosis and usually fuckin STANK if i don’t use deodorant but native actually fully eliminates it, i love

they don’t stop me from sweating but they do stop me from stinking and that helps TREMENDOUSLY

@@notericforeman that makes sense! i use antiperspirant before bed and was thinking wild would be best for morning/reducing smell rather than sweating, so good to know!

​@@notericforemandid you have to detox your pits beforehand or did it work straight away?

hello 🩷
