Sorry to be late
but this in reference to the pride weekend debacle where they skipped the parade and stayed in their hotel room instead? If it can be summarized in a simple sentence, what is the "stuff" that she "produced" in that room? I didn't realize that something scandalous might have happened in addition to the absolute fail/stupidity of skipping the event they traveled to attend.

It was too exhausting for her to even get up to stand outside during the pride parade, and they IMMEDIATELY went to the Cheesecake Factory to get a massive meal. She was literally in the bed the entire fucking time they were there, and when they did go out (save for the parade) it was always to eat. They ate at the Cheesecake Factory 3-4 time by her own admittance. To me that was really telling. Not the eating-out part because they always do that. But that it was too difficult for her to even stand and walk around outside for less than an hour.
Now she hardly even goes out to eat (which is a wonder in and of itself), and she at least used to get up and go out to do that. They order out all of the time, Becky makes constant grocery and fast-food runs, if Al DOES go to Walmart she immediately needs a scooter once she gets there or she can't make it through the shopping trip, and it's so difficult for her to get up that she only goes to the bathroom once per day and washes her hair once a week.
Basically, it's not going to be long before Beck literally has to sponge-wash her. Someone already mentioned bed-pans: that's bound to happen soon. If not bed-pans, she'll need one of those special seats for toilets which excessively obese and very elderly people have to use because sitting on the seat is too difficult. Beck and Al's bedroom will become everything for Al: The "bathroom", the "shower", the "kitchen table", because she literally will not be able to get up to do any of these things, so Beck will have to bring it all to her. Beck's basically going to become a live-in nurse (she already is).
If Eric and Ricky were smart, they'd boot the two of them out and tell them to find their own living arrangements so that they're not dealing with the possibility of having a 600+ pound woman die inside of their house. It's clear that nothing is changing, and that Al's not going to get REAL help of ANY kind.

That's actually an interesting question: what would Al do if Necky left her? How would she wipe herself? How would she put on socks? etc.

If they have any sense at all (they don't) they'd have made her purchase the couch and any other furniture of theirs that she uses from them a long time ago.
She's going to break the car if she rides in it too much.
Better idea: they could move. They don't own the house. Kicking out Becky and Amber would leave the boys with a huge mess and stink to clean up (there's no way they would do it, especially if they were leaving against their will).
They'd lose their security deposit, but they should have considered that forfeit the second Amber's disgusting ass moved in there.

I think we can all agree that we’ve entered the bedbound saga at this point. AL may not be 100% bedbound but she’s barely mobile and practically housebound.
How do you feel about it? What do you think this will mean for her content? Is it just mukbangs, hauls and mind-numbingly inane logorrhea from now on? Do you think she’ll ever regain her mobility?
Personally this makes me sad. AL is my favorite lolcow, she’s the reason I even know what a lolcow is or what the trainwreck effect is (for the longest time I couldn’t figure out why I was still watching even though I no longer liked her). As her health declined, her content grew more and more boring and now in the last few videos she completely dropped all pretense (no intro, no outro, no substance). Her videos are just random clips spliced together without rhyme or reason until she reaches the 10 minute mark. There is no actual content any more, not even her usual lousy content. I thought I was going to lose my mind today when I watched her fill a jug with water from water bottles and pointlessly rambling without saying anything.
Bedbound saga = worst saga. I want it to end but I fear that’s only possible if AL’s life ends as well
I have to say it makes me sad and disgusted.
That aside AL and those like her on youtube have really had a positive impact on my life. I either work out or cycle everyday but her videos really made me think about how much time I spend sitting to work. I set an alarm to get me up and moving every 45 minutes. I have walk around for 5min, do 10 pushups, and 10 squats. My water intake has increased. I stopped buying snack foods and whenever I think about cracking last night's leftovers or eating early I think That's how AL became bedbound.
Thanks AL, you are eating all of my skipped calories!

One of two things will happen in the near future:
Trying to look at a tragedy from the upside, in a few months we'll probably see a huge change in personality as it eventually sinks in that she might not last to see next Christmas come around. Amber is stupid, but she's not retarded: pretty soon it'll dawn upon her the gravity of her situation - maybe not tomorrow or next week but soon. Seeing her come to grips with reality could be the most interesting content she ever puts out but it will be also pretty sad if anyone cares about her as a human being (regardless of her being a literal bag of shit).
Oh well, here's to hoping. To be brutally honest, it's less cruel for her to die pretty soon than to hold on to this mockery of life.
- A cosmic event will alter the laws of physics on Earth, permanently lessening the force of gravity - and thus Hamberg will regain her mobility for another 6 months (until she gains enough weight to end up bed-bound once again).
- Or she will die.

I think she is eventually going to make another video about all the things she’s been lying about and it will definitely include
1. Her being 600lbs
2. Her having the Beetus
As for the rest of the bed bound saga I think it will be relatively the same i.e. Torrid hauls... although it makes me wonder if she’s going to be filming her mukbangs from her bed as well lol

She stocked piled some horrible forgettable content, it was like 7 videos in one day.Sorry to be late
She officially announced her bedbound saga right after her new channel intro “Hi, I’m Amberlynn Reid”
After this video I began noticing the decline in health and content.

It is truly unfortunate how this story slid effortlessly into the bedbound chapter. Many of us speculated that it will be some accident, a slip, a fall that would be the clear demarcation. But no, in the same way that we never notice how a person we see everyday is losing or gaining weight we find ourselves already deep into the saga wherein an event made us realize where we are, and in this case it was the recent infection and ER trip that drove it home.
I feel truly saddened by it. I mean she is very insufferable as a person, and we detest her for that, but I do not wish her death nor some debilitating illness. There is still a kernel of natural human concern for her that wishes that she turns her life around and salvage what she can out of the wreck of her life. But with how she is treating these recent events in her life it is unlikely that some change will happen. This is it. A life traded in for the fleeting high of food.

This is exactly how I feel. I first encountered AL years ago -- and stopped watching. She bored me. I can't say I've ever really liked her as a person, even (though much like you, I don't wish her any specific harm).
But things have picked up a bit since last summer, as sad as that sounds. I keep thinking that this can't be real and that she'll prove me wrong and get well -- but like clockwork, every time I think I'm imagining a worst-case scenario that she won't actually reach, she gleefully scooty-puffs past.
Part of me is downright chuffed that she's finally going to have to face the music. I'm big enough to admit that it's always annoyed me how she's always, somehow, managed to stay unscathed. If she was just a lucky person, I wouldn't resent it -- but it's the fact that she's avoiding the negative consequences of shit she's done...
Yeah. I'm interested to see how it plays out, frankly. If she'd begun losing subscribers (read: money) while she was still mobile, I wonder if it would have prevented her downward spiral. That's academic, of course. Soon she'll be bedbound and unable to pay the bills.
How can't she see this coming? The delusion is fascinating.

She's been able to avoid it because she's young. She won't be able to avoid it much longer. 30 is right around the corner.

I think honestly the only reason there's this feel of it being 'sudden' that she is bedbound is we really have no social media etc of her unless she puts it out. She's not like Chris-Chan where if there isn't Kiwi-reporters etc, there's some idiots calling Social Services, and thus we get updates.
What's sad is I think even now bed bound, she'll lack the energy to gasp through a 10 minute video daily.
So how do we set up an actual death pool? We're at that point, this isn't even really bed bound and expecting that to be her life for years. We're at bedbound and dying inside a small time frame of months it seems.

This is just a death watch with snarky commentary for me at this point. I've seen corpses with healthier color than her. If she wasn't such an awful person I would feel more sympathy for her. But at the end of the day, she's the one that is digging six feet down and being a sassy ass about it. The addiction is too strong. Being bedbound isn't doing her any favors. Like others said it's only because of her fading youth that she's still alive. She won't make 30 like Sean from My 600 Pound Life. And even if she does, her quality of life is going to be complete shit.

I think the reason the trip to Pride was so distasteful is because there is a video of her going the year before, and the difference between the two years really shows how low she’s sunk.
The year before, she was shopping for sparkly rainbow crap, went to the actual parade and did some human stuff, including eating out of course. She could walk, not long or far but enough to manage the event. The next year she puts out a bunch of videos of nothing-just her sitting in the motel with Becky doing tags, and getting snippy because Becky took two mints instead of one. The whole reason they were there, the parade, Amber wasn’t physically able to do and I’m not sure Becky understood that until they got there. The only thing they did was eat in restaurants, and that was Amber’s sole reason for going.
And this year, she won’t be able to go at all.
It really is surprising to me that the boys haven’t moved out. We know it’s worse behind the scenes, so why don’t they have any desire to save themselves for what’s coming? If Amber is truly confined to bed in the next six months (50 more pounds should do it) and Becky goes and spends another few days with her mom, who is going to toilet and feed Amber while she’s gone? Somebody will have to and the obvious choice is Eric. Although Amber is crafty, she might be ingratiating herself with Rafe and Heather for this reason.
Are the guys really so stupid they don’t see this future, or are they really kind-hearted enough to not mind? Or do they think it won’t affect them ever? Hard to imagine. I suppose they could be too poor to leave but that’s pathetic, this is something they should have thought was worth saving for. If we could see it coming, they surely could.
If it was me I’d get the fuck out of that house by next month. It’s a nice house but not worth what’s about to happen in it.

Apologies for my vague wording. Sometimes it's hard for mere mortals like myself to come up with the language that can adequately describe AL's spectacular feats.Sorry to be late
But yeah, what everybody already told you, plus what did me in personally were the videos with Becky. She was playing some stupid games and doing idiotic tags iirc. Imagine the most boring of their Q&A's times a hundred. She then kept uploading these old videos after she came home, and couldn't figure out why people were complaining that her "vlogs" weren't current. Eric also uploaded during pride and was putting out new videos when they got back, so the contrast further highlighted AL's ineptitude as a youtuber.
So while nothing scandalous happened per se, it was more the way that week unfolded that was disgarceful.
a) She planned on making a vacation out of an event that supposedly is important to her but stayed in a hotel room the whole time, emerging only to go out to eat.
b) Desperate for content, she filmed utterly stupid videos with Becky.
c) Filmed a bunch in one day, then kept uploading until she ran out.
d) Remained completely unashamed, lamented how "other youtubers do it tooooooo" and refused to acknowledge there was anything wrong with the whole thing.

I can’t bear to watch her videos, I don’t even remember how I became aware of her on YouTube. She’s going to die soon though or have some kind of major health issue. That I’m sure of.
As for concerns about the integrity of the house, take into consideration the weight of furniture, or even something like an aquarium. I have a 65 gal aquarium, which isn’t an enormous or uncommon size. Filled with water, gravel, fish, etc., it weighs 700+ lbs. I don’t think her falling through the floor is a tangible concern.
