Guys, the Amelia of YouTube is a complete creation— it’s almost like a character she’s made up and she uses ‘her’ to profit. Her actual, real life is always quite separate from the YouTube Amelia, but of course she uses her life as the basis for it, so things overlap and she shares elements of her real self so that it appears real. But for the most part she creates settings, feelings, events, to sell on YouTube. She doesn’t actually ‘care’ about this false life so she can do these weird things and doesn’t see the issue nor can she ever anticipate when people will see how fake it is, because it’s all fake anyway. The last real thing she shared was her engagement and I’m sure that convinced her to never do it again lol.
This whole strategy could work decently well but Amelia is not smart at all and so she is embarassingly bad at being logical, realistic, and consistent, she does blatantly weird and illogical things, things that the average viewer can easily see through if they want to or tried to. It’s why the Christmas gift videos keep coming up in discussion— the whole thing is so stupid and transparent, and yet she and her fans just act as though it all makes sense. Most people who faked a Christmas video would realize they should at least upload it the next morning, but Amelia is both greedy and dumb and doesn‘t have the ability to pull it off. The biggest consequence she faced for this was the photoshopping scandal and even for that, she pretended she didn’t really do anything wrong.
She is always pretending to be places she isn’t, pretending she feels a way she doesn’t, pretending to have plans and decisions that don’t exist. When she can’t maintain a lie anymore (pretending she isn’t going back and forth from country to London), she makes up another one that sounds interesting enough— no, she’s out flitting about to mansions as she pleases, she’s moved! That’s why her acting is so over the top and cringey, her real feelings aren’t actually on display, so she is putting on an act that she thinks people want to see. But she feels no actual need to be honest.
