CuntyLynn, ArrogantLynn, SmugLynn... as maddening as any of us found each or all of these manifestations, at least there was some life & animation to them. The person in today's vlog is so tightly controlled, it resembles no iteration of Amber I've previously seen. It comes across as highly scripted, someone else's idea of how Amber should be presenting herself to her audience.
There's still a "trial & error" feel to it; an attempt to throw everything at the wall & see what sticks. Amber has nothing any half assed adult would be willing to call a life - no adult interests, no intellectual curiosity, no skills or genuine passions so we're being "treated" to the monotonously mundane minutia of an existence. We see her make coffee, talk about some mugs she's purchased & was given & a yawner of a grocery 'haul'. We get a Torrid haul with some short, full body hurpling shots which aren't QUITE long enough to elicit gasps.
There's some vague posting about eating better & weight loss that just manages to miss being death fat, born again, nutrition preachy. I wonder how many takes that required to achieve a neutral tone? The closest I saw to any of the old version of ALR was the blaming Becky for her weight gain by not blaming Becky for her weight gain... if that makes sense. She does dishes, talks about Twinkie's weight loss & fills a few more minutes with fluff.
I was left with the impression that Wipey looked at past videos, analyzed comments to death & is tryong to find a formula that will maximize return without involving too blatant a change in effort or crossing some mythical line.
But somebody is trying too hard to "elevate" Amber & that's just not going to fly. Her engagement in the form of views, like/dislike ratio & notably comments, is steadily dropping. What's always scored high engagement is mukbangs, full body shots, "I know what's best for me" & insufferable attitudes.
This version of Amber is too dull to even be worth the effort involved in yawning. The only puzzle to me is why she's allowing her persona to be dictated in this manner? How is the puppet master managing to keep Amber both on a tight leash AND muzzled?
