Wow Canadian Amber is salty today. What kind of audience response does she expect from the types of videos she puts out?
I just finished the video. She is quite salty today. Apparently the cucumbers didn't fully work.
Though we've seen this video before, just a different shirt. It will be deleted like the rant she did just like this in the pink shirt a few months back right after she did her HelloFresh and cake binge. She also doesn't learn. The best thing to do about shit comments is nothing. Don't read them. Don't react to them with replies or even acknowledging or engaging. But she does. She feeds the trolls with every lashing out, every disabled comments. She's definitely bringing attention to the negativity causing for more negativity because she doesn't understand that after three weekend of urgent care then three videos (after claiming she's going to take a month hiatus from Youtube) of her on another bingefest... people are going to react. If they can't react on the video page in comments, they come to places like this.
So even if her salty rant is aimed at this forum, she doesn't have to read it, just like she tells us we don't have to watch and react. If she wants to see how a 'big' person who eats nothing but shit online getting some pretty vile comments she should watch JoeysWorldTour.. which she's posted negative comments on herself. But at least Joey "woo woo wooo I'm baaaack" fully embraces his channel, is consistent, and doesn't do any sort of lecturing, lashing out or claiming he's on a 250 lb weight loss journey. He's a guy who eats shit food in his car with pretty disgusting eating habits and reviews them. That's called branding and consistency.
"Honestly?!" is the one tic she has that just grates on my nerve as it implies she's not otherwise honest. Well, she isn't exactly honest anyway so it's even more annoying because she has to indicate to herself a truth versus the bullshit she sells to her audience and herself.
Which is also an amazing and intruiging aspect to her - her inability to truly read her audience. She's trying to mold her viewers into the subscribers she wants. Not the ones she has. She has to remember people watch mukbangs for various reasons and she got about 15K subs that way. It wasn't until the Fat Girl files confessions of the dingleberries, titty cheeto and having an actual lid stuck in her body for 12 or so hours that her channel went viral. So most of her subs are watching for the "WTF" Factor.
HFC, and, another favorite fatty of mine, Simply Sara, almost never engage in the comments and just happily go about their ways. Take them or leave them, it's who they are. Chantal just can't seem to wrap her head around this concept. Also, HFC did one video where she told her life story and Simply Sara addressed her near death from pneumonia a few years ago, but neither really drag their personal bullshit into their content. Again, Chantal can't seem to wrap her head around this concept.
The sad truth is that HFC lives practically apartment-bound, has a myriad of psychiatric and health problems and is still much more interesting, engaging ,and charming than Chantal. Sara makes, well, food, most of which I personally wouldn't eat, (Wanda's macaroni salad, anyone?) but she at least makes original content and doesn't act like a cunt from hell. Meanwhile, Chantal eats enough fast food for a family of 6 in her car, talks about bodily functions, is consistently inconsistent, and chimps out at anyone not patting her ass. She still can't understand where the problem is.
I agree about HFC and Simply Sara. I enjoy Simply Sara a lot. For a long time she did not enable any comments and her cooking videos to me area window to many in the midwest. "Add as much or as little as you want, or add what you like" is charming. I too won't make her recipes, but they're simple and she enjoys cooking. She's herself. Pink Fairy is the same - just her meals that always incorporate cottage cheese in her plate and her Aldi hauls. Not crazy stuff, just being herself.
After taking a moment to think if there should be another post pretty much agreeance with others, I thought "na, others said the same thing". But I'm going to post it because Chantal needs to realize how many people share the same thought that it's not being a larger person that gets the hate. It's her being a petty, ranting, inconsistent and lecturing person.
I also agree with the whole vegan hate comments. Youtube definitely has a huge vegan community and the drama is it's own genre. A few years back there was Vegan Cheetah aka Charles Marlow and he definitely was a tornado of vegan drama. When a YouTube community can get ruffled over eating oysters, yea, she's kicking a beehive when she goes all bovine love one day then hankering down on a bunch of fast food the next three - she's going to have a bad time.
