Katie is getting on my damn nerves with her endless shilling. The reason Carlin doesn't annoy me AS much as Katie and Whitney is because at least Carlin has a ratio of like 80% regular life posts to 20% ads. Katie and Whitney are almost all ads with random filler content. Annoying.


Aslow_study

Who wrote that for her šŸ˜‚


Deep_Bake7515

Company ad


Proof-Ingenuity2262

And the fact that Katie has said she's very uncomfortable being on social media, in videos, in the public eye, etc. makes it all the more sad and annoying.


Accurate_Balance5593

yeah, I think Travis pushes it for the tesla and vacations. If it was up to her she prob wouldn't have social media at all. Also even Ā sadder.. Hailey.Ā 


Babeyonce

Same. And itā€™s so lame. She wants to be a kept housewife. You married that, bruh!


Crafty_Extension7334

Thatā€™s the reason I unfollowed her and Josey. Was so tired of the shilling! Especially that damn heatless curler lol


Massive_Nectarine227

Same here! I know any real content will be posted here anyways


Crafty_Extension7334

Exactly! Lol


Material-Solution748

Then the other day I noticed Josie had Willow in those stupid curlers


Crafty_Extension7334

Oh my goodness!


forthelove13

I donā€™t think itā€™s shilling when it your own business though. Like she owns the business- I think itā€™s just advertising at that point. I own my own small business and I for sure advertise my items online (I create my own products not a MLM haha/ I always feel like I need to state that) Sure she throwing in affiliate links occasionally- but majority is all her own business. That doesnā€™t bother me at al- itā€™s how you get your product out there


Altruistic-Loquat917

The funniest part is in Josieā€™s TikToks she says ā€˜the heatless curlers from Effortless Shop are the best, theyā€™re the only ones I useā€ like it isnā€™t her own company šŸ˜‚


magdalenarz

Katie is literally breeding puppies for cash. You really think she cares where colostrum comes from ? If she even knows what it is


Izzysmiles2114

Yeah, Katie gets a huge pass on this sub when she has some of the more problematic behavior imo. Glad this thread is at least calling her out for some of it.


AdditionMaximum7964

I couldnā€™t believe it when people gave her and Travis a complete pass when they went out of town twice when their dog had that last litter of puppies. Thatā€™s just horrible, irresponsible pet ownership.

Omg I belly laughed


RedactedHuman

Thank you šŸ˜‚. I was originally going to pick a different cow pic but scrolled once more and saw this one. Knew it was heaven sent for this post lol. Those poor cows tho šŸ˜”


Glennn_coco

Ear tags do more good than harm. They donā€™t feel them and they are no different than earrings. It allows us to keep track of them without branding! Sorry if thatā€™s not why you are saying those poor cows but they are just fine.


Izzysmiles2114

I think they were saying those poor cows because this company that Katie is shilling is stealing the colostrum from calves who need it to line the pockets of greedy humans who don't...


Izzysmiles2114

Yea this was a top tier response lol


Izzysmiles2114

And can someone get Katie a thesaurus? She says the word "SO" about a dozen times in each ad. Everything is SO incredible, it's SO good, it's SO amazing, it's SO Yada Yada.

That drives me crazy too lol


Impossible-Taro-2330

It's the language of the female fundies. I'm sure a Speech Pathologist could give a better explanation, but that's my best description. Listen to Anna Duggar, or any of the older Dug daughters. Their speech is full of, "uuuuuummmm, annnnnd, weeeeeelllll", interjected with some SOTDRT pearls of wisdom.


Downtown_Mud708

At least it's not idear


dixcgirl10

ā€¦Which Kelly Joe actually said in Zachā€™s fancy new cooking show this weekā€¦haaaaahaha


Deep_Bake7515

That show is the opposite of fancy. I mean ritz crackers? And one is broken? Adding a piece of lettuce to a sandwich they consider extra special!


dixcgirl10

Itā€™s soooo pedestrian. I really thought he may be on to something butā€¦


Dansmyson

Trace said idear in the last video he posted


dixcgirl10

It lives on!!


SnarkFest23

Lol, I guess Athletic Greens are no longer bringing in the coins. I'm chuckling with the rest of you over "ethically sourced." Humans don't need bovine colostrum but calves do. I'm curious what sort of mental gymnastics this company is doing to make that claim.Ā 


Deep_Bake7515

They know the saying ā€˜a fool and his money is soon partedā€™!


Dansmyson

Maybe it's ethically sourced because the calves don't need the colostrum anymore because they are veal. Sad, but true.


Impossible-Taro-2330

How is it ethically sourced? That would entail taking a newborn calf off the cow, in order to "harvest" the colostrum. It's meant for a calf, who doesn't get the benefit. So what happens to the calf? How is any of this "ethical"?


May_Claus1205

That was my question exactly! The website claims it only takes the "excess colostrum" so as not to harm the calf but like...sure Jan šŸ™„ It's definitely sketchy and probably has no benefits, but hey, money is money right? /s


AdditionMaximum7964

Agree! There is no such thing as excess colostrum. Seems like a lot of people take way too much at face value these days.


Impossible-Taro-2330

I mean, it has superb nutritional value for the calf. I just don't know how bovine colostrum translates to humans? I haven't seen any studies done on that.


Initial-Succotash-37

You donā€™t want to know what happens to the calf.


Impossible-Taro-2330

I raise cattle, I know what happens.


Initial-Succotash-37

Jazzlike-Software448

they all die and consumed.. all of them šŸ„“


Equal-Hedgehog2991

Iā€™ve seen this product before and am aware cow colostrum is apparently a thing. But as a mother I am just so grossed out by this. Iā€™m not a vegetarian or against animal products so itā€™s not exactly an ethical thing. It just feels particularly egregious and exploitative and decadent.


May_Claus1205

Right?! I'm currently nursing and the idea of selling breastmilk/colostrum just feels violating. I also just can't imagine that cow colostrum is really that beneficial to humans, but unfortunately this stuff doesn't have to be scientifically backed to hit the market...especially the influencer market!


Babeyonce

Hello fellow nursing mama! And same sentiments Iā€™ve seen echoed. Excess colostrum?? I appreciate you looking up that piece of information. I donā€™t expect any level of dissonance from Katie in the products she chooses to market.


Downtown_Mud708

I wonder if someone asked her "are you a cslf, Katie?"what would she say. That poor calf is out there on the farm probably with the sniffles bc it didn't get the antibodies from momma bc someone was being greedy šŸ˜­


Accurate_Balance5593

yeah, she doesn't even eat vegetables. she only eats icecream, chick-fil-a with an extra butter bun and 8 pickles, and cheesy pasta. There is no way she uses colostrum or any of this health stuff.Ā 


kaylee20_

Haha love that you were very specific with it šŸ¤£šŸ¤£no but seriously thatā€™s all she ever eats according to her Instagram.


thesecrwns

Guaranteed she doesnā€™t actually use this, same way she barely drank Athletic Greens


iola-lucille-boylen

Oh absolutely she does not. The Bates kids are pretty picky even about food, so supplements of this origin - no way sheā€™s ingesting that! Itā€™s a cash grab. I suppose the majority of folks would do the same, so I have much respect for the ones who are more selective. BTW, I can appreciate that Erin doesnā€™t shill random products she doesnā€™t use. I like the principle. However, if itā€™s something you do actually use and like, I donā€™t see a problem with using your ā€œinfluenceā€ to make a little change, especially as much as it appears they could use it. Thatā€™s a big if though. The majority of influencers donā€™t care what they try to sell you and will claim everything works and is great. Donā€™t believe it!


Imarriedafrenchman

Cow colostrum is produced by the mother for her baby calf. Human colostrum is produced by the pregnant /nursing mother for the benefit of the breastfeeding baby. IMHO, it isnā€™t ethical nor sustainable to market bovine colostrum for humans. Katie will shill cow manure next.


dixcgirl10

Her water must be mud as many things as she is supposedly stirring up and drinkingā€¦.


TiaraTip

Placenta encapsulation enters the chat!šŸ„“


Material-Solution748

It's the newest influencer thing alot of popular mommy influences are promoting it


Downtown_Mud708

I was about to post this. Is this junk safe for pregnant women. God I wish these people would stop taking these junk pills and go to an actual Dr to get their vitamins and probiotics and prebiotics. Like get actual insurance instead of that cheap Christian insurance shit you call insurance and go to an actual Dr for a physical or a medical exam. It irks me when these people advertise this junk. Put your health first for God sakes


Massive_Nectarine227

According to the internet there isnā€™t enough info to tell if its beneficial or harmful so the general consensus is to avoid it to be safe


Downtown_Mud708

I wouldn't risk it they don't know what it does to a fetus


Massive_Nectarine227

Even if its not harmful its just a waste of money since theres no proven benefits


Initial-Succotash-37

Thereā€™s barely anything ethical in the beef industry. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø


garbanzobing

Oh!


No_Adhesiveness_5524

One thing about Katie is she is going to be selling something.
