Wishful thinking perhaps but the boards seem to have a lot fewer fake news stories since wdw74 ceased posting.

Brayden’s blog seems very sweet but damn, his bio is longer than most accomplished professionals.
There’s even a mention of his GPA in there.
It’s also very awkward to read bios that were self authored, but still refer to themselves in the third person.

But remember - In his rant before "leaving", the kid said all the news posted by "insiders" here is 6 months old. I chuckled at that.
Is this rant still on the boards?

That was funny considering his news was usually wrong except when he got it from here first.But remember - In his rant before "leaving", the kid said all the news posted by "insiders" here is 6 months old. I chuckled at that.

I must admit that I do find that kind of endearing as it reminds me of how important every little decision, achievement, and twist and turn of your life appears when you're that young.
I would also like to see it. Never quite known what happened as he seemed friendly enough, and then suddenly there was talk of a big bust up.

I hesitated giving my opinion about it, because of how genuine it’s written.
We really should be cautious here. We really don’t know if the two accounts are the same author. This kid is clearly passionate. If he is @Disnerd2003 I hope he just stops posting or apologizes.
I have my coins on Catherine Powell behind the Disnerd mask.

I think Brayden is really trying to make a career of his site, and I say more power to him. As he grows, I think he'll develop better sources, a strong audience base, and find his niche in the fandom. The long bio seems a bit much now, but it's the kind of thing that can help an audience feel like they know an internet personality.
I find it interesting, though, to contrast Brayden's approach with this site's. Here, things tend to be low-key and anonymous. WDWMagic isn't built on any one personality, and thus has developed a personality of its own.
I'd be interested to see which approach generates more ad revenue.

I can't remember his handle around here, otherwise I'd go look up his rant.
I think it was Mouse Brayden, or something to that effect.

Very true! Very true.
It reminds me of that day in your early adulthood when you can finally take your high school credits off a resume. It’s a hike to get to that point, but it’s oh so worth it.
Constructive criticism never hurts along the way
Bingo! Thanks!!
Thats the worry. Not just for theme park geeks but real news. You know, life changing, world changing news. Ill leave it there.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the rant, so either it got poofed or it was on Twitter.

I was thinking of just the same thing and feeling self-satisfied about being at a place in my life where high school has receded into the mists of time and off the CV!
I'm also kind of interested to see how Brayden's ambition turns out regarding building a career from his website. I admire his ambition, and I'm sure the skills he's learning won't go to waste whether it works out or not. To me, it seems hard to imagine scaling this up into a business that will support him long term and I do wonder about the way in which he's placing himself at the centre of the product he's selling. Still, if other people are full time video blogging about Disney Parks and living off it, maybe he can do it. Honestly, that seems like a surefire way to drain the pleasure out of going to WDW.
I'm still interested to see what the rant was on here, though! I thought everyone was generally sympathetic to him and vice versa, then something happened...

I spend more time on here than I probably should, but I have no idea what the dust up was. Must have missed it.
It was about D23 and Brazil. And it was poofed.

I wanted to be a fan of Mickey Views but the more I see of him the more annoying he seems to get. He reminds me of another Disney fan site that shall not be named. They are to focused on trying to break something than actually reporting the correct information.
