I finally looked up that yoga influencer who got canceled in 2019

I remember this woman, Alisha from Portland, who had like 400k followers and got nuked over some old tweets about cultural appropriation. She apologized twice, took a break, came back, and now she's got a smaller but solid account. I mean, I expected the internet to destroy her completely, but it kind of blew over after a few months. Has anyone else followed a cancellation from start to finish and seen the person actually rebuild without the drama sticking? What made that one different from the ones who never come back?

You said it "kind of blew over after a few months" and I see it differently. That yoga lady got lucky because her old tweets were mostly dumb and not actually hateful, just clueless. The ones who never come back usually did something way worse, like scamming people out of money or saying something that actually hurt a real group of people. Also she had a built in audience of rich white women who were never gonna leave her no matter what she did, that's a huge factor. Plus she came back with a sob story about mental health, which works on people every single time. That stuff doesn't work if you're not already popular and pretty, the internet holds grudges against nobodies way harder.
