White Moose Man v "Social Influencer"...

18-01-2018 12:15AM #1

...so the owner of the White Moose Cafe has taken on a self styled social influencer looking for freebies, and pretty much destroyed her.

Now I'm not a fan of all of his stunts, but think he certainly won this battle...though it doesn't look like he was up against much.

Did you know that Whitney Houston's debut LP
called simply Whitney Houston had four number-one singles
on it? Did you know that? Whitney's voice leaps
across so many boundaries and is so versatile-though she's
mainly a jazz singer-that it's hard to take in the album
on a first listening.

It's hard to choose a favorite track
among so many great ones, but "The Greatest Love of All"
is one of the best, most powerful songs ever written about
self-preservation and dignity. It's universal message
crosses all boundaries, and instills one with the hope
that it's not too late to better ourselves, to act kinder.
Since, Elizabeth, it's impossible in the world we live in
to empathize with others, we can always empathize with
ourselves.

It's an important message, crucial, really, and it's
beautifully stated on the album.

There's that word "influencer" again.

Who coined the term and why is it used in relation to these social media addicts?

18-01-2018 12:29AM

He's as bad as any of them, a self absorbed, arrogant, little bollix.

I’d be so embarrassed to say that my job title was ‘Social Influencer’. Gussied up panhandling is all it is.

That White Moose guy has an overinflated opinion of himself and his influence though and relies heavily on social media and content-harvesting sites for publicity too.

There’s a pair of them in it.

I think that is hilarious:D

Your floor is covered in newspaper and you're wearing oilskins right now aren't you?

Some free advertising for the White Moose. Your man knows what he's doing anyway, his business model seems to be working so far. That said, both come across as numpties.

I wonder how well it's really working considering he needs to whip up a new outrage storm every year..

fritzelly · 18-01-2018 12:47AM

Thought this was pretty funny, managed about 3 mins of her comeback on youtube but the devastation was just too much for me to handle

87k subscribers - 86,999 who will likely never ever go to his place (tho she probably she just copied/pasted that text from youtube and thought it meant something) and the anyone over 30 doesn't get social media was hilarious

Self absorbed freeloader who thinks its a business talking BS to her 'friends' online

Take this guy

Whatever the general opinion about him, yer wan seems like a complete spa and got what she deserved.

I’d wonder that too. Quality hotels work on getting repeat business. Charleville Lodge has mediocre ratings so I’m guessing that’s not something he works towards. So naturally, with a mediocre product, he needs to find new marks.

And who’d complain about an issue when staying in that hotel? You’d worry that he would festoon it all over social media whilst possibly making comments about your appearance. (that’s happened)

c.p.w.g.w · 18-01-2018 12:52AM

I'm finding the whole thing very amusing, the blogger is a complete freeloader...god forbid she has to pay for something:eek::eek::eek::eek:

I think it helps him that your hotel would nearly need to be literally on fire to not be pretty well booked out the way the hotel industry is in Dublin city.

Is the term Social influencer the new PC word for Unemployed

_Dara_ · 18-01-2018 12:56AM

This is interesting:

Someone chancing their arm trying to get a free meal at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Ireland, Campagne. The head chef says it happens up to ten times a year. The brass balls on some people. :eek:

In which case, he shouldn’t need to pull those stunts.

By which I mean he probably slaps himself on the back as a marketing genius whereas in reality his hotel is busy because every hotel is flat out

Had a gander at her YouTube videos, not surprised to see that she's an absolute wreck the head.

maybe there is collusion! No such thing as bad publicity

_Dara_ · 18-01-2018 01:02AM

A guy my hub works with is trying to become a social influencer. He models menswear on his Instagram. An okay looking chap but nothing special. Let’s say his name is David Murphy. His instagram handle is officialdavidmurphy. So naturally that’s what everyone calls him in the workplace now. :pac:

Social infuencer. *puke*

Quite a few people were talking about this exact scenario on twitter today! I wouldn't be a bit surprised. She's gained lots of new idiot followers and he keeps his persona going. Win win.

such a fake existence we have descended into. And when I say 'we', I mean the Western world.

Rumpy Pumpy · 18-01-2018 01:13AM

Those repugnant leeches in lovindublin try and pull the same trick. Free food and drinks in return for a favourable write up.

looking at the facebook page of the White moose, its only the blogger community defending her and the rest of the normal joes/josephines are agreeing with him for going after these freeloading twerps

This is a distinct possibility. Makes me squirm thinking about it. People are selling their souls and outside of freebies, it’s not hugely lucrative based on a few... *struggles to type the words* ... social media influencers who have been frank about the actual money they make aside from swag.

It's hard to tell, but it's been going a few years so the business must be in some way successful. I have no idea whether it's his social media profile, or the quality of his establishment, that keeps the tills ringing.

I guess he's a bit like a budget version Michael O'Leary!

Yep, circle the wagons type stuff. Amazing how the same people who'd probably spew all sorts about #EndBullying (or similar) for the sake of looking virtuous can become so vicious and scathing when someone fires a few relatively harmless shots at them.

correct, it doesn't really work (if making a living is what your after). I won a case of beer on Twitter one night

You wont make much money by trying to be an influencer. In fact you will only damage your reputation and piss people off.
