""I'm going to get completely canceled for saying this, but more and more it's really out-of-touch, distasteful and frankly annoying how much a lot of creators are flaunting wealth on their social media," she begins her video. "It's all they do. 'I took a private jet to this fancy brand event and I drank Moët and I have a Van Cleef bracelet. I have $5,000 worth of bracelets on my wrist and I have a $20,000 bag.'""
""Meanwhile the audience, the only reason they have these opportunities, are often times people who are struggling to put groceries on the table. They're struggling to pay rent," she continues. "And I just don't get it. It's no disrespect. People can spend their money any way they want, and I truly admire anyone who makes a living making content because it's really challenging. But I don't see the longevity of that.""
Many popular content creators frequently showcase extravagant lifestyles — private jets, designer bags, and expensive jewelry — while large numbers of viewers face job insecurity, inflation, and difficulty affording essentials. Carla Bezanson, a creator with over a million followers, criticizes such displays as out-of-touch, distasteful, and annoying, urging creators to consider where their income comes from and how their audiences are feeling. She expresses respect for content creators' work but questions the longevity of flaunting wealth. She says audiences now increasingly seek vulnerability, authenticity, and emotionally resonant content that they can relate to amid economic and political pressures.
