NGL, I used to enjoy Karina's videos/updates, but I CAN-NOT with her anymore.
1. The Rhoda Morgenstern voice. She needs to dial it down--especially since most of what she drones on and on and on about is nontent.
2. Wash, rinse, Kermit, repeat. Stop. Cringe al-fucking-mighty, STOP.
3. Stop directly addressing/admonishing Hambutt. Hambutt is too busy fellating buzzballz and faggoty White Claws to prove she's "LIEK--shooooo DrUnK, yEw GuiZe!"
4. She's gotten like Nick Rekeita. What SHOULD be about a 8-9 minute video is now eons--and eons spent on total horseshit.
Bottle and Apathetic Fax are my go-tos. Short, entertaining, no grating commentary, and to the point. Plus they let Hambutt roast itself.
I’m glad someone else said it. Karina has gotten on my nerves since the John Kuckian/Peter Monn days back in like 2017 but she’s somehow gotten exponentially more annoying since she started covering Amber. Especially in the past 2 years.
First of all, her clickbait video titles are formatted like a retard wrote them. Learn how to write a simple sentence, Karina. The punctuation just floating in between words, sentence fragments and always trying to find new ways to get people to click on the same video for the 400th time make even scrolling past one in the search results a pain in the ass.
I don’t think I need to elaborate further on the Kermit thing.
And for fuck sake I’m so sick of people acting like they didn’t get sucked into watching Amber because she’s a disgusting freak show. Whether or not that’s why you’re still here in 2023, we all clicked on the first… let’s say… 20 videos we ever watched for the same reason. The first click was curiosity and the other 19 were pure repulsion and shock that anyone can be so stupid. No amount of moral grandstanding will ever convince me otherwise. My least favorite reaction channels are the ones that try to be smug about why they talk about her in the first place. Karina and Zack are the biggest offenders. They know how most people really feel. They know why people click on their videos. I wish they would grow some testicles and stop being holier than thou about what they’re doing. It’s more transparent than glass. Just own your shit like an adult.
Aside from everything else, my own personal peeve is how she keeps telling people that Amber makes tens of thousands of dollars a month on 40k views per video, uploading sporadically and inconsistently and doing the bare minimum to hit the 10 minute mark for monetization. There might have been a few months when she was at her biggest (physically and popularity-wise) and she was clickbaiting the train wreck around the summer of 2018 and maybe a couple months in 2019 where she made REALLY good money, but there’s no fucking way on this earth she’s making more than $4k a month right now. Karina knows this as well but I think she keeps saying it because it keeps people mad at Amber and clicking on her garbage content.
I’m not saying Amber hasn’t consistently made waaaaay too much money for the shit she pumps out, she does even now, but the numbers Karina pulls out of her ass are absolute horse shit and made up. And telling people that the reason you know how much she makes because you’re also a youtuber makes it even worse. It’s misleading and extremely disingenuous to lie to people like that AND profit off of the outrage it causes. She’s selling that nonsense to working class people, the majority of whom are probably struggling, and there’s something especially insidious and manipulative about that. I’ve said it multiple times but it really pisses people off that people like Amber and the others like her can make a living doing what they do, they’re already mad about it on their own. They don’t need someone like Karina baiting them. Rate me MATI but it really pisses me off. I said what I said.
Anyway, this isn’t the Haydur thread and unfortunately it’s dead. I’m just glad to see someone else who is observing what I have been for awhile. I was starting to think I was crazy.
It’s pretty pathetic that boring reaction channels who upload the same video every day are more engaging than Amber herself, but the bitch won’t upload. Even if she did, it would be nontent. I wouldn’t even know where she is if it wasn’t for this thread. Even the comments on her channel are boring. There’s nothing left to see. I’m just waiting for the few people who are still hanging on to walk away but I think the ones that are left watching her at this point aren’t going anywhere. If she hasn’t run them off yet, then she probably won’t for awhile.
