Can I start the morning with a few randoms?
- I did spend a few minutes this morning checking out the BLAB-related conversations on IG and Twitter, and yikes...some of y'all are really taking one for the team. Glad you're producing receipts, and I guarantee that more than a few BLAB stans are unwittingly going to a place with the purpose of taking up for BLAB, but walking away feeling like their eyes have been opened. Definitely gonna backfire on BLAB in a few instances.
- One of the arguments I kept seeing made, especially on IG, was that these threads exist because we're all just jealous of vloggers. I mean, I GUESS. Would I love to get paid to visit theme parks every day and make videos? Sure, who wouldn't? But would I trade my life for theirs? Nopity nope nope nope. I have a great job, an income that allows me to do what I want to do, people who love me, etc. So in THAT regards, it's not jealousy. At all.
But here's the other thing...if it was purely jealousy, why aren't there threads about all the other vloggers? Sure, each one is gonna have their detractors. But on a personal note, I happen to like Ordinary Adventures. And Mondo. And Magical Journeys. And I like Fresh Baked's videos as well. If it was purely jealous rage towards all Disney vloggers, each one of them would have their own threads just as active as this one. But they don't. They don't inspire the same feelings. So there's something UNIQUE about BLAB that causes this....and if you haven't seen it by now, then Stevie Wonder could probably beat you in a demolition derby.
- Same goes for Yankee in the South (which is the reason I ended up on Tattle). My issue with them isn't because they're a Smoky Mountain vlogger. I love Adventure is Out There (another Smoky Mountain vlogger). My issue with them is, well, there isn't enough space on this page.
- Florida Resident Edits...come back. We need you now more than ever.
- Time to crack open a Diet Mountain Dew, gang.
