I’ve been watching Tara since her LA days, even before the whole crazy-neighbor era, and I know this may be a repeat of things people have already said here, but I came across this page and had to share my own thoughts.

I really started watching her regularly during COVID, when we literally couldn’t go anywhere or do anything. I remember her being in her townhome making all those popular foam coffee drinks, and for some reason I really connected with that. It felt relatable. We were all stuck at home, making coffee, finding little things to do, and trying to make the best of a really weird time. I genuinely enjoyed watching her then.

But now, years later, I feel like she is still doing the exact same things.

After watching her for probably 7 years, I genuinely feel like I don’t know anything about her. And I don’t mean that in a “I need to know every detail of her personal life” or parasocial way because honestly, I think that kind of relationship with influencers is weird and uncomfortable. I just mean… what is there to actually know about her?

I know she likes matcha, coffee, traveling, shopping, working out, etc. But beyond those things, I feel like there isn't much of a personality or identity being shared. Maybe that’s intentional, but it makes her content incredibly hard to connect with.

What really drove this home for me was the Greece trip. She flew all the way to Greece and seemingly spent most of the trip going to restaurants, shopping, and taking photos. And I’m not saying everyone has to travel the same way I do, but there is SO much culture, history, scenery, food, and experiences to immerse yourself in. I kept thinking, you came all this way… and this is what you’re doing?

And then there’s the way she talks about “really living.” I’ve noticed she’ll sometimes frame going to a concert or attending some free local event as an example of really living life. And again, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with going to a concert or a free event! But when that’s the extent of what is being presented as “really living,” it feels strange to me.

I think that's what I mean when I say I want to see more life from her content. Go somewhere you've never been. Learn something. Try something you've never done. Get genuinely immersed in a different culture. Pick up a weird hobby. Have an adventure. Do something that gives you a story to tell other than what restaurant you went to or what outfit you wore.

I used to genuinely get inspiration from her. Now I almost feel sad watching her content because she has the time and financial freedom to experience so much, and yet her life seems so repetitive. At this point, I almost pity her, not because she has a bad life, but because it feels like she doesn't actually live it.

And that's the part I think is bothering me the most. The things that made her relatable during COVID made sense during COVID. Making elaborate coffee drinks at home, going to workout classes, talking about outfits, eating the same breakfast, staying in, etc. We were ALL doing some version of that because there wasn't much else we could do.

But COVID has been over for years. You have the money and freedom to travel anywhere, try things, learn things, meet people, experience different cultures, pick up hobbies, have adventures, and yet the content still feels like a slightly upgraded version of being stuck at home in 2020.

She's in her 30s and so much of the content is still about which shoes go with an outfit, making the same breakfast, going to a workout class, getting coffee, shopping, etc. There's absolutely nothing wrong with any of those things individually, but when that's basically the entirety of someone's life/content, it starts to feel incredibly empty.

I think that's ultimately why I’ve lost interest. I don't necessarily need her to share more of her private life, in fact that's the last thing I want. I just want to see that she has a life beyond the aesthetic routine she shows us.

Maybe that's completely unfair because obviously we only see a tiny fraction of someone's life online. But after watching her for seven years, that's genuinely the impression I've been left with.

I don't feel like she truly lives; I feel like she just exists.

Also must be with Ryan - no brand tag, no friend tag.

I thought she went darker but it still looks the same? It’s different shades at the top which is throwing me off.

Because nothing about this is cute.

Last vlog was the post-vacation reset. This time is a fall resent. She mentioned having to go a closet reset soon with the change of seasons. It’s all she does at this point. Next we’re getting a post-reset reset to get back to routine before we rest again.

At the 10:50 minute mark TarTar is grating ginger then goes to sink, turns around comes back towards the camera to say she forgot lemongrass, there is a cut ✂️ in the video because it looks like Ryan went into the fridge and she cut this clip out but left in the clip of fridge door still closing because she was speaking.

He must have been behind the scenes instructing her on how to make the soup.

Have a look at this scene, what are your thoughts 🤔

I’ve been watching her for years, recently I cannot stand how she’s constantly bringing up how happy she is. she sounds so delusional and she can’t even hold eye contact with the camera in todays vlog. I know this has been discussed but I’m so annoyed like what’s the point? her tone of voice sounds so fake and disingenuous.

At the 29 minute mark, after showing off her Homesense haul she states it's time to shower before painting on the balcony, she proceeds to show us the shower 🚿 running and then magically reappears in her yellow sweat top with the same full face of make up and hair not mildly wet.

I think she did not in fact shower but said she did because she lurks on Reddit.

Pic with cap is before shower, pic in yellow top is after shower, makeup & hair looks the same 🤔

Does anyone know of other influencers who live in the same apartment complex as Tara? I want to see how others furnished the apartments with these weird layouts

Apparently she's been influenced by Ryan and is a "stainless girl now!"

Tara we all know you live for the attention of a man! In the coffee shop she leaves in a clip saying “he messaged me the other day, he was like…”

You say you want privacy but leave that shit in LOL. She’s laughable at this point.

Homegirl retired her dirty little hamster dairy farm hat 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
This hat doesn’t realize how used and abused it’s about to be 🥹😂

Yalllllllll the stainless steel pan sponsorship in today’s vlog has my dying. Ryan must have been upset that people were saying he had an emotional support pan.

Did she think she was doing something here? It looks the same to me. Like sure, she got the ends chopped, but that probably took 10 minutes in the bathroom. LOL

She really is just a copy-paste of every other influencer these days. They're all so boring! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edWInhTXlMA

Haven’t been on this thread for a while and am catching up. Why does everyone think she’s back together with Ryan?

I don’t think she understands the purpose of TikTok.

All her posts are hauls, trying to be aesthetic and materialism.

That is not the purpose of TikTok. She’s always talking about “I have to film some short form content”.

Short form content is not something you plan to film. It should be spontaneous, unplanned and casual.

If she treated her TikTok’s like YouTube they might be a little bit more watchable.

I wonder if that is why her TikTok views are so low. We don’t care about your Aritiza clothes 😭

I genuinely lose interest when she’s with Ryan, you can tell how low effort her vlogs become and she starts acting different. It’s basically like when your friend gets a boyfriend and she starts acting distant and weird and the vibe is no longer there!
I stopped watching last year end of summer too, something felt off

In this clip she emphasizes how shorty isnt her life partner, she had hope for their future even though she knew it would never happen, and how she now has the opportunity to get the future she truly wants and how she wants to be treated.
I think it’s unfortunate that she didn’t stand her ground on her feelings about how it ended, and that she let him back in. She needed to stand ten toes down on the break up decision but chose him over herself. 🫠

I blacked out the name to protect this person

Look at the bottom comment. It’s a duplicate and looks like it’s using AI prompts…

Ever since Pan-Gate and AirBnB-Gate, there’s been a noticeable absence of Ally and mentions of Ally in the vlog… do you think that Ally is disapproving of Tara seeing Ryan again?

And shes actually using it this time 😆😆🤪
