When to Stop Watching? - Do you still watch, have you stopped? Why?

[FupaQueen]

I started watching her videos around her last breakup, and then stopped about a month ago. It's all the same stuff; she's just repeating videos she did a year ago. I just get the recaps for the videos here.

If Amber, or any other cow, starts to bother you, walk away. There are plenty of threads here that you might enjoy.

IMO Amber isn't worth any effort and if what she's doing/saying is getting to you, it's time to move on. She's, literally (to use a word she loves) going nowhere.

I bet if anyone stopped watching her for 6 months, they can come back and still be in the loop. Even if there is a new girlfriend in the picture, it just same shit, different day.

You are absolutely right. I have a significantly personality disordered family member and I think AL is just bringing that up for me. It used to be a good laugh but now that I have seen her cycles repeat it's stressing me out. Her behaviors are getting worse not better. I feel for the people around her.

The hardest lesson we need to learn is that we can't save everybody. You can't change Amber, and no matter what you do or say, you won't be able to change the minds of those who surround her.

Life is hard already without us needing to borrow problems from other people. It's just not worth it.

I'll miss your posts here, but there are other threads. Do what's best for you. If anything big happens, I promise to send you a message (if I'm still following. I might lose interest).

 

[I Exist]

I still watch them so I can understand the threads made about her better, I use adblock too.
I'm starting to get quite bored of her shit though; I will stop watching after she fails the 300 pound challenge.

I think I am going to still hang around just quit watching her youtube. The best thing I think at this point. I enjoy the healthy debate and conversation. I just clearly can't keep myself not emotionally invested in her videos. My partner just made a really good point. It's hitting my "gaslighting" button. She's been actually posting videos of herself behaving this way to Becky more and more. She's trying to do it to her YT audience. I have worked through a lot of my stuff but apparently big AL is just too much for me.

I've been having crazy dreams about AL videos. (new thread? too weird?) In one, she was vlogging and accidentally showed a huge patch of armpit hair. In another, she had died, and her channel just went silent and someone posted on twitter that she had had a heart attack and it was very uneventful. It was just like, whelp, that's it. That's the end of all this. (the dream didn't say how they dealt with the body)

 

[Mr. Poker in the Front Liquor in the Rear]

I still continue to watch because I have a morbid fascination with someone slowly killing themselves on video.

 

[DaintyHole]

I watch the truly exceptional videos all the way through, skim most and just read comments. Lately, I've mostly skimmed and even skipped over a few. It's been the same set of videos each week for a bit with hardly any actual drama/"moments".. and I just don't have a need to see repetitious shit this often. I smell a break-up coming at some point this year followed by a mental breakdown pf some sort, which is why I'm staying. She'd have to keep this recent pattern up with no hope of drama to make me stop watching. Even then, it'd take a couple months because she still says dumb shit I can chuckle at here and there.

I'm here to see Amber reach 600lbs and start another weight loss journey, rinse and repeat until she dies. If you feel bad for her because of the hate or if you feel sad because she's fat and slow, walk away and choose another cow. Amber doesn't deserve pity, she's a terrible person. If you can't point and laugh, move along.

It's not pity, it's anger.

 

[Calling]

I still watch her, she's garbage TV, like The Office. Easy to digest, fun to laugh at. Also I like to be in the loop to read what people are shitting on her for.

There's no reason to get upset by her, imo. She's a nothing and a nobody, and her videos are a precursor to a My 600 Lb Life episode.

Until she goes on My 600 Pound Life

Becky said in the "prank" video she wouldn't want AL to get to 600 pounds and go on the show (even though that doesn't make sense since Becky is the one that drives AL to get food). I wonder if Becky will stay with AL at the point of 600+ pounds. Otherwise unlike alot of people on the show AL doesn't have any real family to care for her, bath her, feed her, do all of the housework. Not sure if AL would still be walking at 600+ elbees or when she'd have to rely on a scooter till she becomes completely immobile.

And didn't people say Becky used to post on her facebook she wants to settle down and have kids? Obviously she can't do that with AL. I think AL might end up the way of Tammy Slaton and need to be in a care home once she gets too big. And at that point she will stop vloging and everyone will stop watching.

I only started watching fairly recently but I make sure to watch on hooktube so she doesnt get the views since I only watch the original videos for the comments. And if I do watch on youtube, its adblock or a Hamburgerlynn annotated video. If I'm gonna watch for the drama at least I want to make sure she's not getting anything from me for it. Its already getting dull though, its just pathetic at this point that she's starting new "diets" every other day, binge, rinse, repeat. I'm only still watching because I'm dying to see Becky leave her and watch her implode. But I'm not even sure if its worth it at this point.

Wait until Becks leaves her and we get to watch this parasite scramble to find a new host while getting excessively drunk and trying to pretend everything's fine for the camera.

Or go back and watch the Destiny break-up like it's your first time.

If I get angry I'll stop

 

[MG 620]

Never get too invested in a lolcow. Or you might yourself become one.

 

[antifan]

I watch speariodically.

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

Honestly, it would take her to start being successful in weight loss and not being unintentionally entertaining anymore.

Every now and then I have to take a little break from watching to keep from getting too pissed off, but I'll catch up in a few days.

It's not likely that Becky would be willing to move away from her family, so Amber needs to make sure Becky's replacement lives in or around Houston. Hitting 600 lbs in effort to get on the show is the only goal Amber can easily achieve.
