The new supportive viewers/subscribers from the new year don't know AL like we do. They see another fellow overweight/obese/morbidly obese girl with a 2018 weight loss resolution. Hurray!!! They want to relate, they want to believe it's possible (and it IS, if they get the proper help along the way)... screaming "Yasss queen!!!", "So proud of you, keep going!!", "You got this gorl, ignore the haters" in the comments... which only fuels AL's delusion. They think they're being supportive but at the same time they don't know anything about this beast. They only see the newer videos. AL has been uploading for YEARS about weight loss, on and off. But originally it was a weight loss channel from years ago, to their dismay. And absolutely NO progress has been made, minus the 89 elbees lost (only because she didn't have access to food).
The viewers are going to be sorely disappointed yet again and the cycle will continue as she loses subscribers when she fails... will regain some in the next new year.... but in morbid reality, this can only last for a few more years until AL is bedridden, or dead.
