There's an old Cracked article
6 Harsh Truths That Will Make You a Better Person with this one section that I think is particularly relevant and if I could have one Christmas Wish, it would be that all the reactors in this fuckshit community would read this section and take it to heart. It would literally make everything better. For them, for their supporters, for us
This pattern has been pointed out before - so many come in to try their hand at reacting, get popular either on the merits of their content (the older/original generation of reactors) or on just the fact they're shitting on the very hate-able big gorls (these new generations of garbage reactors, each shittier than the last iteration like JustBreezin, the yomama retard, the gorlic retard, the monty retard), and then their ego makes them believe their supporters like/watch them because they're special and cool as a person when it's for what they provide (a space to shit on fat dumb bitches). So they do cow shit like beef with one another or the farms, or they try vlogging or rambling about other shit than the gorls = what people actually watch them for (like outta nowhere that one Tea & Sass old lady made everyone watch her try on swimsuits?)
Popular creators like Yaba and Sam can veer off sometimes about other topics (their home life, funny stories about each other, general relatable things like complaining about grocery inflation, etc) and it actually adds to their brand and likability but that's because its
on TOP of what they provide (commentary on cows). That's how it should be
But when it gets to be distracting or replacing the original commentary content, then that's when it gets messy and can put the reactors into pasture. It doesn't matter how likable and talented they are. It doesn't matter if they were right in a beef. Just shut the fuck up about it, no one fucking cares. Especially since most of the time, reactors freaking out and wrecking their commentary on cows benefits the cows the most. Like one post earlier said, if fucking Clara shows up all smug on rumble, they're never watching Sam again - fucking agreed.
Like why the fuck are we on Ron's thread having to talk about Sam for pages?
Sam and Yaba, do you get fucking get it yet? I've continued to defend them, and I'll even defend them a bit now in this Belinda situation and still make my point
It seems there's a lot of miscommunication and fuckshitery going on in this back and forth with Belinda. Yaba said that Belinda's profited off the fundraiser with adsense and superchats. I saw a post here previously saying Belinda turned off her adsense for the fundraiser videos. I discovered both are true and everyone's right (and/or wrong)
So Belinda did 2 fundraisers and one was monetized and one she did turn it off. The superchats - Belinda said she didn't know they'd still come through on non-monetized vids. I thought that too so it's not really fair to fault Belinda on getting superchats
More details on this whole thing that also surprised me - the grand total of the fundraiser was $35 (unless she was joking?) and she apparently did not even send it to Yaba & Sam because she kept "forgetting"
Now maybe Yaba only saw the 2nd video and assumed Belinda monetized all the fundraiser videos and if you combine this with the fact Belinda supporters or other random people who joined in on the drama throwing the fundraiser in Yaba & Sam's faces, which Yaba was gracious about when it happened, I can see why Yaba & Sam are pissed. Especially since a lot of people were acting like Sam and Yaba care about the $35. Anyone who's watched Yaba for a while knows that she doesn't give a shit about the $35, she wouldn't even if it were $300. She prides herself on integrity and independence when it comes to money shit. I get why this all could be very infuriating to Sam and Yaba who's kept quiet about not getting the fundraiser money until now, when people are piling on them about it, and because it's about the fundraiser being weaponized against them. A fundraiser they didn't ask for and don't care to get anything from. Even though Belinda had good intentions with it, I can see how it's hard for Sam and Yaba to feel that way with everything that's going on right now
Sam's stream talking about the Zeith thing "The Cringe in September" was indeed very off-putting and I clicked off it. I assumed she was throwing one of her damn tantrums and wrote it off as she decided she wants to be a cow. But then I saw Yaba supporting it (I feel like she's usually good about leaving Sam alone to throw her tantrums like the whole Farms-Arby's cringe) and read more into it on Twitter. I realized what they were trying to say, and I guess I have to admit I can see what they're saying. Their point is this Zeith person is pulling a Becky - a whole poor me shtick as a victim of a cow and shopping around to sell their story. Yaba implied Belinda paid Zeith for that interview and that's what their issue is (on top of encouraging Zeith's grift by directing people to "help" him out), not that Belinda interviewed him. I can see why Sam differentiates this from her interview with Zeith. Whether we agree with that or not, she and Yaba probably sees it as gaining information vs Belinda who is enabling a grifter/some weaselly person whose character can be gleaned from the fact he was Ron's close friend for decades (Zeith's claims he had no idea what Ron was doing online all this time does seem suss, I can agree)
That all being said,
WHO FUCKING CARES. Who fucking cares if I think they're right, or maybe even if they are right objectively. They're supposed to be reactors, and they profit off being reactors.
So fucking be reactors. Except for a handful of their die-hards, no one fucking cares. People want their reactors to react, even if they're a supporter. Case in point, I do like Yaba as a person, and Sam to a lesser degree. And in their recent fuckshit with Belinda, I see their points and can understand why they're angry. But also, I don't really fucking care about that shit if they're going to act like cows. If they're going to cause all this ugly distracting drama away from the real cows like clara and ron who deserve to be shit on every single minute of the day. If they're going to publicly attack other reactors like Belinda who do shit on clara and ron. I don't fucking give a shit about them, and in fact resent Sam & Yaba for stockpiling ron and clara's arsenal for them to tout around in smug victory
Just shut the fuck up already - why couldn't this shit be handled in the DMs or just not at all publicly? The reactors need to remember they are reactors first. That's what people want from them. It's ok to feel angry or fucked over, the reactors have every right to be human, whatever. But do that on your own time. Especially because how are you going to make fun of clara and ron for not being able to control their emotions when you're acting out just like them? It doesn't matter if your reasons to be emotional are valid (talking to you, Yaba & Sam) vs. ron and clara who cry and freak out over self-inflicted dumbass petty bullshit. The output is still the same - public messy tantrums no one asked for
"Oh they only like me/us when we're shitting on people they hate."
YES. Exactly you got it. What, you feel used? Ok, welcome to the real world! Did you forget you're getting paid to react? So fucking do it, provide what you're here for, what people want
To conclude, JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP FOR FUCKS SAKE. Or don't. Go join ron and clara in their pen and cry together then. Fuck
these bitches try to glamorize being fat-ass heffers. Fixate on Chantal 24/7/365 days you stupid bitches and keep pretending you're better. I bet it's owls' low BMI that got their granny panties in a twist.
