Give this article a read. I wonder if anyone really reads The Birds Papaya’s interviews. A number of her comments caught my attention.

Including: “When I first started doing it, this was not a movement that I was familiar with. It didn’t have the sensationalized version of it that we see now—this was years ago when it was incredibly radical. I barely had an understanding of the roots and the history of people who had done this before me. But in that journey, I started looking at my Instagram more like a journal. I stopped taking pictures and sitting there being like, “What am I going to caption it?” I really started just writing myself letters.” 🤨

THIS: " Every day I think, “This is the day that it’s all going to fall apart. People are going to see that I’m just a fraud who doesn’t know what she’s doing,” but every day I managed to keep getting through and doing my job and doing it well enough that it keeps me getting back to doing it the next day." ---------YIKES!

    News flash: WE here all see you as a fraud, and know you have no idea whatsoever to be unique. Jokes on you, Sahara. (Because her content is as dry as the Sahara.)

    So she knows she’s a fraud and does nothing to improve the quality of her work. She actually has embraced being fraudulent by not presenting herself on her platform the way one would see her IRL. She’s done nothing to learn how to create a better product when filming ads and hasn’t contributed anything of value to anyone. Ever.
