Bright stars that began to burn out

Dec 07, 2022 - permalink

"Lauren Findley's popularity might burn out. Her social media posts are becoming samey....."

Have you checked her You Tube channel? She's still generating different sorts of content there. I do agree that her TikTok channel isn't that much. IG and Facebook fall in between TT and YT.

Bear in mind that some of the women being discussed come from different cultures. Julia Vins is Russian and was a part owner of a coffee shop. Who knows where that is now thanks to Putin's war. Cindy is Swiss. I liked her a lot when she came onto the scene. I bailed out after the first boob job.

Julia’s content is definitely highly produced by whatever management team is working with her. It’s not that she’s unable to post other things, it’s likely they don’t want her to at all

I thought Cindy landolt looked great with her boob job. her best years where 2016 to 2020 in my opinion but now she has lost a lot of her muscle. and her new pics focus on her boobs that are now even bigger.

i know working out is super hard and she probably burned out. but there are plenty of women with big boobs and almost none with big muscles.

Apparently, Cindy's husband has a lot to do with her transformation I have heard. It is unfortunate, she was one of my favorites.

Back on August 10, fp909 posted that being on TikTok gives a better chance of going viral (or something like that). That seemed to make sense.

I wonder where that thought might be now with all the negative attention being directed at TikTok; Chinese spying and all that?

i think if you're an older user (22+) who doesn't really make any money from TT or it doesn't contribute to your life meaningfully there's probably a 50/50 chance you dump it. Goes higher the older you get. I"m 33 and many of my friends long ago got off of facebook and either don't have IG, TikTok or both, and dumped Tiktok after the whole China thing came to light.

Kids definitely don't care unless their parents have some kind of control, but (and this has been happening the whole time) people have been driving to their other platforms for a while, or using it as a linktree platform to run their training businesses or promote codes.

Reality is that the larger ones probably (definitely) have management posting these things, I imagine they post most of their content via browser that maybe doesn't have access to more personal stuff, like a dummy computer. There's too much opportunity to blow up and literally flip your life over in the course of a year.

Thanks for the update. I have seen linktree being used altho I'm not overly familiar with it.

Thanks for the update. I have seen linktree being used altho I'm not overly familiar with it.

it's just a hub to store links, so they'll often link their TT, IG, YT accounts, OF if they have, discount codes, venmo/cashapp or donation links, or whatever else. just an easy way to aggregate stuff in one place, there are a bunch of diff services

Links are only clickable in the bio on IG, and there isn't room for much more than one. People with links to a variety of socials, OF, etc. use Linktree to put their links together in one place and link that in their bio.

Cindy Landolt. She has been at ~750K IG followers for like three years now, and has posted markedly less fitness content since upsizing her implants. It's all just selfies that focus on her breasts now, with little variance.

She isn't going to disappear, but in my opinion this is the precise moment her career can be said to be over. Plastic surgery can be a major confidence boost, but can also seriously get to one's head, and this has clearly happened to her.

Edit: Actually I would say she started to burn out about three years ago - that's approximately when she started focusing on glamor/sex appeal vs. fitness. The fact that she has gained no relevance whatsoever after her second boob job is basically the death knell. Sort of like Ronda Rousey - a streak of dominance, a loss, then a second, bigger loss after already having lost it.

So true. I posted about her transformation into a sheer bob job model already somewhere else, but was the wrong thread. However, it is really sad that she burned out like this. I already liked her without her first boob job very much, she was tall and strong. The first enhancement didn't make her better, was okay in my opinion. Her increased posts featuring her training was what boosted her. Then the frequency of fitness/muscle related posts decreased, the second balloon size and the focus on then came, yeah... Everything was said already. Fully agree.

It wouldn’t surprise me if she is getting more income now from her work than she did when she was at her most muscular, though.

I don't know about that. Lately she's just been going for straight up cash grabs, and even posted actual topless photos on her VIP telegram.

Fitness influencers overwhelmingly try to stay away from doing adult content. Usually once they "make it" they stop. Only if they are desperate do they go back, especially after publicly claiming they'd never do it, which Cindy said many times.

Oh no, she really went down so far? I always thought she had made it financially, with her club, her products, her media presence. She seemed to be a woman with way enough money. Switzerland is a very expensive country, but her lifestyle fully seemed to fit. Maybe she still doesn't need the money, but got addicted to a certain level of attention and now is trying to increase her "dose" of it?

Alina Popa has lost alot of size.

She's still really strong, I saw her in person at both the '21 and '22 Olympia. I doubt that she's lost a whole lot of actual muscle.

I think she's just off the anti-estrogens and fat burners. Most likely scaled back her gear usage overall. Actual muscle mass is only a part of the bodybuilding look... you need a bunch of other and arguably more toxic stuff to keep that lean, ripped, and always-pumped appearance.
