To catch you up, Darby emailed the saucy White Moose Café (and Lodge), an eatery and hotel known for its huge social media following and aggressive dealings with everyone and anyone. They’ve banned vegans. They also quickly published Darby’s cold call email asking for a free room on Valentine’s Day in exchange for a review, along with a sharp-tongued criticism of bloggers and their ilk. The original post blacked out Darby’s name, but in the video above she states that changing the brightness on the image exposes her identity easily.
Darby initially hit back with a video, in which she mentions several times that people over 30 don’t seem to understand the social media economy. In this follow up video (after a week of battling with the remorseless hotel) she denies accusations of ageism; it’s just that the comments she’s been getting have mostly been “coming of people above the age of thirty. If I had to absolutely pinpoint, I’d say fifty years old?”
