Chloe Tring became an influencer name in the social media and fitness industry gaining more then 21 million followers on YouTube only. As a fitness fanatic, Chloe’s videos include 10 to 25-minute body workouts, healthy food options, and she recently created a viral TikTok trend with the hashtag #ChloeTingChallenge.
However, this week, Chloe posted an alarming video on her YouTube getting more then 2.9 million which was very different to the rest of her content and entitled it I’ve had enough. The video begins with Chloe sitting on her sofa with her hands in her laps, telling the audience “a lot has happened in the past couple of months that I don’t talk about. I have been thinking of quitting YouTube once and for all.” She carries on to talk about burning out with “stress, pressure, and hate” questioning whether “it’s worth it” to carry on being judged and watching everything she has to say.
Followers of the YouTube star commented on Chloe’s video with supportive remarks such as ‘Cheers to Chloe for standing up for herself. Stay strong Queen’ and others stood up for Chloe agreeing that body shaming and bulling is wrong.
Although social media is a powerful tool for influencers and brands, there is a lot of pressure of posting consistently and ignoring “trolls.” Chloe has noticed that social media is a great platform for work having also stated in her video that she is “proud of our community and what we have built” with the channel she has created giving her a “great sense of accomplishment.”
