Ohh.. HOT TAKE!
It should be mentioned for context that her 'takedown' here isn't about Disney or Starcruiser, but an attack on disingenuous influencers. But again, she attacks without real context. How do you know the people she is referring to ONLY did the media preview? That they didn't do other stays too? Because you have no real context... you just gotta go along with her assumption...
time cued...
The other odd point is she leads in with saying in 'transparency' that not all influencers got a full visit... and then literally plays the TheTrackers video where they CLEARLY MAKE IT OBVIOUS that both Disney and the influencer are up front it's a preview, not the full experience. Sounded more like sour grapes over not being on the bus to me.
Hard to believe it's sour grapes. I'm pretty sure she knows she'll never be "on the bus" and she knows
exactly why.
She even makes the point in this very video about how crappy it is they magically fixed things for her they said there was nothing they could do to help her with
after someone discovered she had a lot of twitter followers.
This isn't someone pulling for "influencer" clout.
She does no "marketing" and she pays for her trips with a patreon account that has a pretty good sized base that she doesn't really push anyone to join. That's why she doesn't need to be "on the bus" for this stuff. She doesn't need a Disney handout to do these sorts of trips.
For what it's worth, her last Youtube upload was nearly a year ago about Evermore and it was four hours long
(I'm sure you'd hate it, too) so whatever you think she's doing for some personal brand
(which some people have mentioned here that may give you that idea) or what big plot she has with posting something like this, I see no evidence to point to that.
I know a lot of people are uppity and excited because this person in this video is saying all these things they've been thinking but it's important to separate the video and it's creator from the people who are trying to use it to bludgeon other's in trivial arguments.
You want to attack this as some sort of poorly put together journalistic exposé just like other people are acting like it's the be-all-end all. I think both are laughably stupid approaches to what this video actually is which is why in that other thread, I was calling out other people on the other side (which you gave likes to, I might add) the same way I was calling out your behavior.
Anyway, you're right - this is one person giving their personal trip report and mostly their own opinion. I'm pretty sure she'd agree with that. You don't like the title of her video? Email her about it if you're that bothered.
I highly doubt the person who does things like a
nearly hour and a half review of weird church plays incorporating lots of unlicensed characters from pop culture that she found on a Canadian church's website was looking for national media coverage on her four hour video here or to be used as an argument point by people in forums and on reddit like is happening.
So not that I expect you to listen but instead of attacking the credibility or what you feel is biased journalism from the creator, you might do better to point out to the people on the other side of your argument that this is mostly a trip report and opinion piece from one person who very much likes to go into great detail about archaic stuff (just look at the channel) and who's viewers mostly dig that level of discussion and not an article from Rolling Stone by a paid journalist.
Even though big news media outlets have been "picking this up" this wasn't some exhaustively fact-checked documentary or write up for major media - it's just something one person made on their own time that the world is somehow treating as more important than it is.
As far as I can see, she didn't ask to be lionized. She just did something like she's done many times before over the years and this one, for whatever reason, took hold and got a life of its own.
Attacking the creator and her way of doing things is just making you come across like a complete bob ____ and harry which is why so many people are pushing back on you here that might otherwise agree with some of your points.
Just something to consider.
Also, your time queued video seems to be off - it's near the part about the pole talk in the restaurant so you might want to fix that for anyone else reading.
