I think most of the Bateses are narcissists who need attention and accolades. Look at Josie's idiot parents. The possible exceptions are Michael(a) and one or two brothers -- NOT Zach, Lawson, or Ferret.

I believe not only does Josie make money from selling 'her own' products, but also by shilling other stuff and I think she benefits from freebies too.

I mean, she's not stupid by cutting out the middle man, although there is more of a risk if she over buys and is stuck with a bunch of product, a la BSB.

But... I do think her time is limited as far as benefitting by name recognition, however she already has a half million followers.

Also, I'm not sure if she's on TikTok, but it is very popular and starts a lot of trends and sells lots of products.

TL;DR - I think Josie is making money now, but I believe her time is running out and all the Bates sisters will soon be very old news.

Please let it be sooner than later!!!

Oh, I agree, but I think Josie is much closer to being a clinical narcissist than most of the others.

Really? My guess is it’s Carlin.

Carlin is also a possibility. I see narcissism in her, but also several other issues that complicate the presentation.

I don’t know if she’s a narcissist but she’s certainly starved for attention.  Some of the clothes she wears… She might as well be naked because they leave absolutely nothing to the imagination.  And I’m not a prude!

While I think most folks are somewhere in the middle as far as style, I see Josie and Joy Duggar as either end of typical 20 somethings. I think we all know folks who won't go to the mailbox without full make-up and a proper outfit, as well as folks who roll out of bed, throw their hair in ponytail, wash up, put on the nearest clothes and are off to the mall.

I think you are right about this.

Shopping this afternoon in 80 degree weather I encountered a 20ish young man in flannel pajama bottoms.  I'd appreciate the wash up and actual clothes.  

I wonder what Josie and Carlin look like when they are simply home with the kids and not trying to film anything.  I think their approach to the "broadcast" of their lives is a large part of it, too.

I agree. Their lives are one giant advertisement, so I imagine looking the part goes with the territory.
