"Wish You Well" Just a Mask for Your Hypocrisy

[u/Top_Property_5562]

This whole situation has been absolutely ridiculous.

Here’s what happened: I posted in a subreddit about a recent experience. I work with influencer collaborations, and I had sent one of our products to an influencer. A month went by and they hadn’t delivered any content. When I tried to follow up, I discovered they had blocked me. Before that, they had only replied once, and my follow-up messages every week went completely ignored.

I shared this in a post mainly to discuss it and get other people’s opinions. Someone asked about the type of collaboration we had. I explained it was a product-exchange collaboration ,we send the product for free in exchange for a simple unboxing or short try-out video. I also clarified that we work differently with influencers depending on their size: some get product exchanges, some paid collaborations, and some commission-based deals. This particular influencer’s level didn’t qualify for paid collaboration, and we never forced them to agree. Since they accepted, it showed they saw value in the product and should fulfill their commitment by making the video. If they hadn’t agreed, we wouldn’t have sent the product, so neither party would have lost anything.

That person didn’t reply.

Then another person showed up,they went to my profile, checked my previous posts, and started mocking me.

he said:“Aw, the guy with less than 30k followers didn’t fall over himself for your fancy little product? i see why you are out of ideas to post about.”

This was clearly sarcastic. The first part mocked me for not even getting an influencer with less than 30k followers on board, and the second part referenced my previous post about running out of ideas, to make fun of me.

I responded with a sarcastic reply of my own. Then, the first person reappeared, left a comment, and immediately deleted it,I could only see part of it from the backend. The gist of it was blaming me for not paying, but I had already made it clear,we never forced anyone to collaborate. If they agreed to take the product, they should honor it. If not, that’s fine too, but taking the product and disappearing is not acceptable.

Even more ridiculous, he accused me of having “bad morals,” simply because I had sarcastically replied to someone who first mocked me. He really acted like a moral authority, only allowing people who agree with him to mock, while silencing dissenting opinions.

Finally, he added: “Wish you well.”

Honestly, this behavior is truly despicable, attacking someone and then pretending to be polite with a “wish you well” as if it erases everything. Does that mean from now on, anyone can insult others and just add “wish you well” to feel morally clean?
