You mean the “brass knuckles” analogy that was from someone else that texted Len and Len himself said in the very next tweet that was obviously hyperbole?
Enjoy! I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
A poster in a different thread suggested people who don't want to show up on a vblog should play Hotel California on their phone. Bloggers won't get ad revenue, assuming video isn't pulled outright, if it contains music subject to copyright unless they have permission of the rights holder
I don't know whether I'm either too naïve or too cynical about how the world works, but I honestly find it hard to criticise vloggers for developing business strategies like this. Or maybe it's just that I don't watch any of the vloggers so I don't feel conned, but then I feel we all have the freedom to do that.
Maybe not mortgaging their house, but there have been more than a few people who watched vloggers who made "must do" lists for their trips and expected to be able to squeeze all the most in-demand experiences into a few days without much pre-planning or lead-time (meaning that their trip was doomed to be an utter catastrophe). No amount of cautioning or warning about crowds and the necessary pre-trip planning and effort was able to change their minds. (Keep in mind, I'm talking about pre-pandemic and pre-Genie+.)I don't know whether I'm either too naïve or too cynical about how the world works, but I honestly find it hard to criticise vloggers for developing business strategies like this.

It seems to me that it comes down to the audience for these things. My impression is that a lot of them operate in a kind of symbiotic relationship with Disney and an audience that, on balance, wants to feel excited about their future trips to Disney and to have a little taste of WDW in between trips. They also might want some tips and info, too, of course. The people making the vlogs are looking to earn a living selling something that people want to consume. If people want hard-nosed critiques of WDW, though, presumably there are places to go for that. Hell, there's this site which is where I get almost all of my WDW news... oh, ah... inf... I mean, magic...
I guess I just don't see too much harm in it. Are there really people stumbling upon the Trackers and then mortgaging their house because their breezily positive videos have convinced them they need to book into the Grand Floridian and get to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party?
She was pointed out as an example of a mainstream vlogger who will criticize Disney. But the truth is she really doesn't. Now the question is does she genuinely enjoy what Disney offers like you said? Or does she not want to bite the hand that feeds her? Personally I think it's both.
Good luck and bright suns!
There's a lot of honest wisdom and humility in your post. @TP2000- You are one of my favorite "must reads" here.No kidding. And I say this about Mr. Tracker as a gay (gay, gay, GAY!) man... Especially since Mr. Tracker recently had a spectacular handlebar mustache that in 1979 would have gotten him immediately comped into (with a couple of free drinks thrown in by the besotted bartender) any leather bar in West Hollywood or the Castro back then.
That guy was caught making gay jokes? Uh... I should just be quiet.
I don't know what his wheelchair joke was, but I'm old and have seen the culture evolve on what's acceptable to say about the handicapped community. I hesitate to condemn anyone from the safety of 2022 for making a joke in 2010, or even 2015, when the culture is moving so fast now. Heck, President Obama went on national TV on The Tonight Show in 2009 and made a rather tasteless joke about "the Special Olympics", and he was forgiven.
I think so long as Mr. Tracker and his organization can now give the appropriate tongue bath to whatever TDO and Burbank is offering today, anything he may have said years ago should be forgiven. God help me if my bar conversations from 1982 were offered up today in transcript form! I'd be sent to life in prison by 2022's Social Media holy angels!
She does, though. The transcript I posted contains numerous criticisms.
That guy Ford91Explorer owes me money (for charity). He was convinced parades were gone forever.

Cambric Yard is the organization that operates DFB. It gives you an idea of how coordinated their operations are.
I still don’t understand. The link you provided opens to a page that states “Hiring company is NOT part of, affiliated with, or associated with the Walt Disney Company, its affiliates, or its subsidiaries.” What am I missing?
Haven't they taken over All Ears as well?
