YES! The waiting hours for a free box of burgers. That was just bizarre (and greedy). Did NOT make for interesting viewing. It just made him look like a tight arse and a greedy pig.
Are they the couple that ride scooters and have a chihuahua? I've seen them with ATW and have to turn it off because she is so annoying.
Did anyone watch rtv last night? They did a livestream for Josh's bday, which they say yesterday wasn't his bday, and people were sending $100's on their paypal and superchat. Why are complete strangers giving them money just for walking around the park, with their bland, boring livestreams? This has to be a violation of something in WDW.
I don't know about scooters (if you're referring to ECVs) but they did have a little dog that recently passed away, yes.
That pisses me off so bad.
Ugh. I will be SO happy when all of this Disney vlogger tit is OVER.I sometimes wonder if half the superchats are fake... like friends who they pay back later, to help boost the amount of superchats.
I can't imagine sending a dollar to these people.It is going to either take some large incident or many, many paying customers complaining about it for it to end. Disney and Universal are getting way too much free advertising to stop it otherwise.That pisses me off so bad.
I honestly just hope the completely oversaturated market of Disney vlogging fizzles itself out eventually.
Kinda reminds me of when mobile gaming became a thing...died down considerably after people realized how much money they were wasting for nothing..
The part that hurts the most is we have all the cast members working the parks, resorts, transportation and maintenance who are only making the tiniest fraction of the vloggers who take advantage of them being there.
I'm originally from Florida and don't understand this either. However, I did cry the first time back after my husband passed away. It was always our happy place and it just overwhelmed me. We had been planning that trip for months and he passed away shortly before we were to leave. We still went, but it wasn't the same. Then the first time I met Goofy, his favorite character, I burst out in tears and had to walk away. My son had to explain when was going on and the Cast Member gave us an additional fast pass. I didn't ask for it, but it was nice. But people that are there so much have no such excuse honestly....
Same here. It's too iffy for me right now. With my issues with past vaccines I'll wait until it's been out longer.
I agree. He pretended while waiting an hour before he found out online. He even showed his paper to try to prove it. I laughed seeing the electrical tape. The whole hanging thing was really weird with him trying to avoid so many words like hanging. He even said in a comment he was afraid to get demonitzed. He should be at a spot by now that he should worry if his fake jury duty video would make money.
I believe so as you'll see the same people donate weekly. I've also seen people like The Carpetbagger donate to Jordan The Lion only to see the reverse later in the week. Sometimes a backer will do a large $100 donation or any amount really to "get the ball rolling". I've been told about 18% of all donations eventually become charge backs so they can't rely on what they're actually seeing as donated.I sometimes wonder if half the superchats are fake... like friends who they pay back later, to help boost the amount of superchats.
Very interesting. It's really not fair to guests who pay thousands of dollars to escape the real world and be filmed by RTV or any of these vloggers while they are trying to enjoy themselves at the parks. I cannot imagine waiting in line for the people mover and have 10-15 vloggers there with their cameras pointed at guests and disrupting others' vacations. It isn't right.
I hope Disney eventually bans live streaming and vloggers. It would be smart of the Disney Company to do their own livestream with a cast member who already works for the company. This way, you know they aren't trying to get your money with the false "community" type stuff and the boring, same old same old streams that other live streamers are doing.
Totally agree with you. Remember when the WDW Resort TVs used to play the "must-sees and must-do's shows? Those were for resort guests and I'm guessing where RTV1 came up with their name, from the WDW Resort TV in the rooms. The Disney company could easily put together a few cast members to do live streams from the parks and charge for them. Those would be ten times better than the poor choices that are out there now and probably be filled with facts and interesting things we didn't know about the parks.
I could write a thesis on exactly this point. In short, Disney is the world's largest entertainment company falling under the overall guide Walt Disney put down himself: It's all about the show.
Why the theme parks have not taken advantage of the relationships with the other parts of the organization to create and further that show, breaking the footing these vloggers are perched on, I have no idea. Disney drags their heels on everything involving technology though.
Most of Josh's original postings on his channel are recordings from the in room resort TV using a capture card.
Yes, Disney would have to submit a copyright claim on youtube to get RTV1 videos of WDW today removed. One video had over 700K views, so that's some nice money for Josh. If you look up CASE act, it mentions copyright issues and small claims court. I think the more that people voice their complaints to WDW guest services in the parks or by email, then perhaps Disney would start getting the message.
Tampa Jay irks my nerves. You can tell he tries to act like ATW instead of being his own self.
That is really sickening. I bet most of these people that give them money also don’t understand that half goes to YouTube. I just can’t imagine taking people’s money I don’t get it. Ethics be damned
I personally believe he made up the jury duty. There’s no way I can prove it obviously but there was just something weird about the whole thing. I’ve never heard of anybody having To be there in the afternoon. He’s been acting really weird lately so maybe this is just all part of the same behavioral funk he’s in.
I think he tried to sell the idea of jury duty way too hard - posting it repeatedly on IG, on YT, showing the electrical tape-ridden paper, etc. Too coincidental, IMHO, to align with the opening of DL and his not traveling there for that.
Yet his followers are praising him for doing his civic duty.
