I think we’ve seen this already, Adam, the trackers, even Dev has been doing less at Disney and more at the other parks, and travelling in general, for the last year+.
Actually it is a combination of both services. Most guests don't partake of the non Disney tour guides because, quite frankly, they can't afford it. And these guides don't make the mistake of using social media for advertising their services. It's strictly word of mouth. Yet they get more bookings than they can handle. Due to the high profit margin they are able to purchase multiple versions of discount admission media under assumed aliases to assure and insure their continued livelihood. They also make sure to maintain a low profile so as not to draw attention to their activities. Knowing how to blend in with a small group, a large group and/or a crowd is an art unto itself.
However, I don't see much sustainability for PMM, Pallo, or Dev. I think Dev might get tired of it and will go back to regular work if/when they have children together. And I have no idea about the Trackers because I cannot watch any of their vlogs anymore. A whole lot of channels will just die off - there's been a few channels I watched during the pandemic that seemed to fade away with time. Like that one man that was obsessed with the Skyliner being built - I think it was called Passport to the Parks. Does anyone know what happened to him? And then there was another married couple that could never get organized and they never did any research. I tried to watch a few but it was VERY painful so I unsubscribed.Adam the Woo does 45 minute long airport videos, presumably for the tax write off. His content has become repetitive and awful. I don’t have issues like others with him spending money like he has lately despite his “live simply” ethos. But he just repeats himself and doesn’t bring much enthusiasm to videos anymore. Additionally, his New Year’s Eve at Epcot video and temperance movement rant was just so odd and off putting and in my opinion unnecessary. The fact that he bought a house in celebration leads me to believe he will not make any less Disney content as mentioned.Adam the Woo has always done non-Disney content in addition to the theme parks. He's announced that after this year, he is no longer going to be doing the daily vlogs and will be switching gears to other projects. He'll still do videos but he's switching it up. I think DFB will be able to do well because people watch their videos when researching their trips and planning their dining so I they will probably always have an audience. I think Molly would've been okay but I can't understand why her husband quit his day job to do Mammoth Club full time. But then again, I'm extremely risk averse so I would just want someone to keep a steady paycheck and health insurance
Considering he's banned from Universal Orlando Resort ..I can't wait to see everyone blogging their experiences at Epic Universe and all he can do is go to Disney...

He had gone into areas guests were not allowed to enter like the old Nick Studios and the Triceritops encounter..However, during the time when Race through New York was opening he was officially banned.I don't watch AtW enough to know about his multiple bannings lol. I had watched the vlog where he talked about being banned from WDW and how he got access back after some period of time. But what did he do to get banned from Universal Orlando?
He did a vlog a few years ago about how he got the Disney ban lifted. He stated that he could probably do the same with UO but wasn't interested at the time. This was when he still lived in So. Cal.
I recently stumbled upon Castle Crew Review. They are a couple who live in Florida and post 2-3 times per week. They are positive, upbeat, knowledgable, and you can tell they have a passion for Disney. Definitely refreshing to see, since most of them these days have been doing it forever and seem burnt out. Disney is my escape from it all.. It's my feel good fix. Very relatable and easy to live vicariously through their videos.
I believe he was stuck in the skyliner one time it broke down and either starved to death or died from overheating with there being no air conditioning
There was another family vlogger channel who was awkward like that. I stumbled across one video where they had gone to Epcot to film a festival, I think, but the wife developed a migraine (which I also suffer from) but she went back to the car to wait for him and he rushed around World Showcase just for footage. Just come back another day to film instead of editing and uploading that useless video that helps no one when trying to plan for an Epcot festival LOL. I did recently discover another couple recently that focuses on food - and while I despise watching that man eat, their reviews are actually pretty good. But I only watch them if they are reviewing a new to me place I'm interested in going to.Has anyone ever actively sought out videos from people with next to no followers who are trying vlogging and failing miserably? It can be quite amusing when you watch them when there's obviously been no planning ahead and other family members aren't comfortable being filmed or have nothing to say etc. There was a great British one (I'm British so no hate from here) a few years ago which I can no longer find that was superb. The kid talking to the camera thought he was so cool winking at the camera making observations such as "It's so hot, that, that, that, if I were a chocolate bar I'd be runny, you know because of the heat and the melting and it being hot". He went on with these embarrassing inane observations throughout and then decided to share at one point "My nan has an upset tummy so whilst she's on the toilet, we're having a Mickey bar"
They're all stood there eating their Mickey bars and as his nanna is wheeled back over he says "You feel better now nan"? I was almost on the floor at home laughing at this point. I mean at the stage of editing it at what point did he think that telling strangers that his nan is sat on the toilet with an upset stomach whilst talking about how good his Mickey bar tasted was a winning formula for a vlog? Suffice to say he never became a social media sensation but stuff like that in small doses can really be quite entertaining in a perverse way if you have time to kill.
I do sometimes. If I want to see about a very specific topic (Ex: current breakfast options in Garden Grill. yes, I know the menu is online but say I wanted to see how the food and interior looks like live), I'd search for any video pertaining to that, and focus on the most recent ones. That results in seeing a lot of vids from people that have next to no followersHas anyone ever actively sought out videos from people with next to no followers who are trying vlogging and failing miserably?

Maybe I am in the minority, but I watch vloggers for their personality and location, not necessarily travel planning advice. I like the ones that don't feel like they belong on a travel show.
We like to watch vlogs from cruises we’ve done and that often results in finding videos by people who are new to it, or just doing it for their own memories. Some are pretty good, others are unwatchable with all the fast camera movement, etc.Has anyone ever actively sought out videos from people with next to no followers who are trying vlogging and failing miserably?
