Are they really trolls or just people asking for accountability from you? There are definitely hate comments, but I see plenty of comments just asking you to address things you refuse to address. That’s not a good way to build an audience. I have seen you turn fans into “haters” from your actions that you fail to acknowledge properly. Ignoring issues is a valid PR tactic but it is clearly not working for you.

Hi Lucy,

I encourage you to read my previous post, "You're my audience, not my boss," to get a clear perspective on my stance regarding online scrutiny and the so-called "accountability" that many of my viewers attempt to hold me to.

It is a paid post, so if you are unable to access it I'll summarize its main message here: Just because I've made the choice to share my life online doesn't mean I am required to constantly live up to strangers' expectations of me.

Many of the people who demand “accountability” aren’t actually looking out for my best interests. Instead, they nitpick my every move, criticize ruthlessly, and take a stance of moral superiority to demand what they think is best for me.

I acknowledge that I’ve made mistakes, but I don’t believe I owe an explanation for every action. I engage with my audience in a way that feels healthy for me—without opening the door for constant judgment and unproductive feedback. My stance here is less of a PR tactic and more about self preservation and mental health.

I hope you can understand.

Best,

Molly

I've definitely noticed two different groups in your comments. people with valid criticism and people who "nitpick". you group them together in your responses to ignore the criticism. when you try to make money off of content, you open yourself up to criticism.

calm down, she's an adult who is choosing to post all of this. I'm not hating on her, she definitely has trolls in her comments, she just needs to be accountable if she wants an audience.

No. I'm not going to casually look the other way when you're purposely piling on someone who's TELLING YOU they're having a mental breakdown. You don't get to act like she owes you anything. You're not the morality police. You sound like a person who would enjoy a public lynching. If she offs herself, the blood will be in your hands

Why? Why does she need to behave that way just because you want to? You've got some serious mental issues if you think you can force someone to be depressed in a way you deem acceptable 😂

when people try to make money off the Internet they open themselves up to comments. if she doesn't want comments she can stop with the cash grabs and just live her life. I hope she does!

I was a fan of her content before! is it stalking to find a social media profile that I assume she wants people to find since she monitized a post? maybe we have different dictionaries
