    I noticed that and there's a few comments under a pic on her Instagram post about her not being transparent

    Can't see any comments like that. She must have deleted them.

    It's under the cinema pic and she said she'll always make it very clear if it's an ad. But she never ever does on snapchat? I've been following her for a while and don't ever remember seeing her use #ad or #sp on any of her snaps.

    I always have to laugh at the over zealous fans that appear any time a blogger is criticised to defend them. It's very amusing.

    Most also seem to be signed up to a modelling agency. I wonder if this plays a part in what gigs they get?

    None are models but perhaps it influences what promotions they get??

    The same girl has the perfume that everyone has up today as 'I treated myself' and a little #sp at the bottom on Instagram.

    This made me laugh when I saw it earlier! How can you treat yourself to something when it's given to you for free, along with one to give away... Do they think before they write?!

    Had a look at the currys girl Instagram there. She really doesn't have as many likes as she used to. Certain pics have way more likes but her popularity is fading. Some have 800 which isn't a lot compared to others. She clearly thinks hers followers are stupid. I've followed her from day one and now I just click past her story. She went to the rain forest spa the other day and I'm sure that was an ad. They have brought other bloggers there before.

    I just went for a look there!! (Nosey!!) had to laugh at a comment saying -what does it matter if it's a ad sure won't they give the same review!! Can't believe some people think that that's the case! And that's the problem!! People take these paid for reviews not knowing the truth as gospel and buy everything! Not saying it's all crap but I'm sure some isn't as good as they say! They all can't like everything! Can they?

    Anothe blogger has a few snaps up about an app this evening. The third or fourth snap is #ad and all the other have nothing!

    What is the point in reporting to ASAI? If you were sure ya have to do it a couple of times a week for one or two of them! Nothing happens from what I can see!! Unless it takes a good few weeks to go through? And sure nothing changes anyhow!!

    The MUA blogger is lethal at not putting #ad or #sp on any of her social media. I think she actually might be the worst one for doing it. The amount of stuff she promotes daily with nothing attached. She's also a massive Meaghers pusher!

    Exactly zero individual content they are just all one big advertisement all the same products at the same time reviewed the same way
    They can't even call themselves bloggers anymore what little content they do blog is an extension of the snapchat advertising. They sold there souls for a few euro and the sad part is no one would have been bothered by that only for the sneaky way they have behaved

    I find the popularity of Curry's blogger BAFFLING... she has NO genuine passion or creativity & gets paid over 1K per #sp Insta image yet doesn't even take the time to take a decent image... or admit that its an ad!

    I have no problem with bloggers getting paid but there are so many amazing Irish blogger who will take the time to create a beautiful image sharing a brand in a creative way while her Insta feed is just a dribbling mess of poorly produced advertisements.

    She did an Insta live video recently where she suggested people ask questions- one of the first questions was to her partner who was with her in the video which asked 'whats your favourite thing about me' to which her partner replied 'free things' & she just laughed... says it all really.

    She seems like a nice girl but as a blogger? Shes willing to peddle anything to anyone & has ZERO passion for the industry.

    She clearly thinks her followers are absolute idiots as she talks about 'treating herself' to something shes been paid to write about but, unfortunately her followers clearly ARE idiots as she spoon feeds them relentless adds without ever really producing any other actual.quality.content & yet they follow her in their thousands!?

    Vote with your fingers & only follow the original & passionate bloggers that Ireland has to offer... there are some amazing ones out there who not only share good content but, actually do it for the love of creativity, not to just peddle another product to their clearly VERY naive following.

    Ya would imagine she would want to pay for it all! not turn her wedding day into an ad? I wonder will she still run a competition for a fan to attend the wedding? Hoping that was just a getting ahead of herself with excitement moment!! And she said it without thinking!!

    The hilarious thing is that it seems to be the top Snapchatters who are the laziest ones ...

    Only every consistently producing 'content' on that platform calling themselves bloggers but never actually creating content on their blogs.... cause they have no creativity to speak of!

    I can think of a handful of Irish bloggers who consistently create quality original content on their blogs yet their 'popularity' is a fraction of these 'Snapchat stars'...

    I cant see 'influencers' dribbling the same sh*t day in day out being a lasting fad... we'll hopefully be back to only focusing on those who create decent content soon.

    What's the difference between an ad and a sponsored post?

    Nothing. Genuine bloggers use #ad #sp or #spon to dictate when they've been paid to share the post. Some bloggers take the money & clearly declare nothing.

    I think they use #sp because it's less apparent than #ad. Like everyone knows what an ad is, not everyone knows what sp is.

    I wonder do revenue be keeping an eye on all the tweets and sponsored posts? I find it hard with bloggers now to distinguish who's genuinely promoting an item and who's paid, ut takes the goodness out of a review

    Revenue have better things to be doing than following singular tweets but they can do an audit of income that is coming in and what's declared.

    Otherwise I think sponsored implies some sort of content, a blog post or a feature. Ad is an ad.
