I've always had a bit of petty beef with morning routine videos.
Mostly because I watch them through a very practical, privilege-awareness lens. Which can make me sound a little miserable, but oh well.
The reality? These morning routines aren't achievable for people on a standard/below average wage. These morning routines are for people who live very different lives to the majority, especially those of working class.
I remeber listening to a podcast that spoke about the appeal of the trad-wife aesthetic. It's cosplaying simplicity and traditionalism when the oven behind the influencer cost's $30,000k a pop and the influencer themself is making an abundance of money from content creation, brand-ambassadoring, and sponsorship deals.
It often feels like rich people playing "working-class" house.
I know this is a deep dive into what can just be considered an easy scroll, but there is a sense on manipulation to it all.
These are really good points Lauren -
I think especially when they receive so many free items that are included in these routines.
Thanks for your insight as always!
