Just a reminder: just because you don't get the appeal, doesn't mean they don't have their place.
The reality is and I see it daily, live streams and vlogs bring thousands joy. That's something nice and I'm not going to begrudge that.
I mean, to each their own. If you don't like a vlogger and their personality, don't watch them. Someone else does and gets joy from them.
I understand many come off as entitled, which is a shame. I've never witnessed some of the 'horror' stories. They're quietly doing their thing. I guess I feel like I've picked 'the good ones' (hopefully). Just a reminder though: we see glimpses of their day, we DON'T know them. Although that's why I like live streams. You get to know someone better, sort of.
I do think live streamers with large groups can be a bit distracting. I can also understand it not being appealing to someone to hear superchat shoutouts and sponsors. I get it. So don't watch them
And just an FYI: literally hundreds and thousands of people watch live streams daily. There's clearly a huge audience for it even if some of you 'don't get it'.
I enjoy quite a few vloggers. Some I watch because I actually like their personality. I watch several live streamers. Sometimes some of us DO watch to see the person streaming or vlogging experience things. It's weird, I get it. I also get not everyone wants to see someone shove a Gideon's cookie in their mouth.
I love live streams in general because I can see what's happening in the parks LIVE. Wait times, crowd levels, merchandise, etc. It's great. I do tend to enjoy walkthroughs (SHOUT OUT TO 4K WDW!) with less talking but sometimes, for me, it's fun to watch people enjoy the parks. But that's me. REMINDER: We all like different things.
There are tons and tons of 'good' ones. Of course there are those in it for the wrong reasons. And to be frank, I think some of the resentment stems from jealousy over a perceived lifestyle of a vlogger.
And just an example: say you like watching Disney Parks LIVE when they show the Candlelight or fireworks, etc. That's exactly why some of us like watching live streams.
And to be honest, I can see why the 'vlogging culture' lends itself to ridicule in a way. Everyone rushing to capture the newest cupcake, etc. .. but many of them genuinely do it to share it because they know it brings joy (and they get clicks, of course, but still ...)
Also, let's not forget many of them use their platform to raise money for charity. Whether you believe they're genuine or not (I believe they are) is on you but regardless they do it and I appreciate that.
Anyway, just trying to show it from different sides.
Copyrights are nothing new, but I could tell it's been rougher in terms of background music and even animatronic shows. Not to mention you can't film PhilharMagic, etc. Nothing on a movie screen. I don't see it really impacting live streamers. Disney also partners with many of them. Live streamers and vlogging isn't going anywhere.
