It's pretty entertaining stuff.
It started when this 22yo English "social media influencer" (who's pretty attractive) sent an email to the White Moose Cafe in Dublin, asking for a free room in exchange for some good YouTube/Instagram publicity.
The owners did not receive the proposal well, but with great humor. They've previously banned vegans, and now they've banned bloggers. They're also (allegedly) sending he an invoice for all the free publicity they've given her. I enjoy seeing them calling her out for her freeloading BS, and their posts have been entertaining.
"“This one’s for my blogging angels!” begins 22-year-old Elle Darby’s YouTube video, before describing her ongoing feud with The White Moose Café in Dublin. Darby says she has been targeted for harassment since the restaurant posted her email request to stay at their hotel for free, mostly by people “30 years plus.”
The White Moose Cafe did share Darby’s letter on Facebook, attempting to black out her name, but her identity was uncovered. The post is indeed the roasting Darby characterizes it as in the video above; she had asked for a stay at their location at no cost in exchange for a review and social media posts. In response, White Moose Café asked:
"If I let you stay here in return for a feature in your video, who is going to pay the staff who look after you? Who is going to pay the housekeepers who clean your room? The waiters who serve you breakfast? The receptionist who checks you in? Who is going to pay for the light and heat you use during your stay? The laundering of your bed sheets? The water rates? Maybe I should tell my staff they will be featured in your video in lieu of receiving payment for work carried out while you’re in residence?""
