Yeah, we're gonna talk about vulnerability because I do, you know, I think we talked about Jen Hamilton and her going through her stuff, and I really love what she's been doing, and she's kind of, like, turned around this whole situation.
I think she's, like, now she did, like, a, she did some kind of, like, a fundraiser and stuff, and, like, she's doing, like, all these really cool things.
She's a nurse, but she's also an influencer, and she found out that her husband had a second life, and she's just been, like, kind of sharing in real time.
And, you know, she posted a couple of videos where she was, like, crying in real time, and I don't think it came across as, like, wanting attention.
I think that's where, um, w- there's this concept of vulnerability porn, and it's a way for people to get clicks.
It's like, okay, you have to stop and look if you see someone on your feed who's crying in a car.
'Cause, like, the last thing I, I'm thinking about if I'm crying, and I don't even remember the last time I cried, but, like, I mean, I cry, like, on dogs all the time, but, like, cried for, like, a sad reason.
I don't know that I'd pull out my phone, but I guess if it's part of your brand, which is I'm just a big feeler and I, you know, I'm going through something and I wanna share with my audience because I feel like there's value here.
So I guess the question is just, like, what do you make of vulnerability porn? What's the line to where...
Like, I don't feel like Jen Hamilton is sharing in a way that's trying to get attention.
I think she's just sharing because it's something she's going through, and she's always been very transparent in her brand.
... you know, what do you make of this? And I don't think we're seeing it as much on Instagram.
