Wonder what she’s been up to the last few weeks. Barely uploads, barely any online presence. Doesn’t seem like much of a “job” to her. I think it’s much easier to hit a slump when you don’t have an actual job forcing you keep some kind of routine, forcing you out of the house, forcing you to see other people, etc.

I think she's not an anxious personality at all. I think the only area she worries about is money. Her influencer career is not making her near enough as Cameron's job so she worries. And because of it she calls herself anxious.
I also wonder how many influencers aren't actually anxious, they just conflate having no direction or full life purpose beside making everything look aspirational

I agree, I can't see how her income from YouTube alone can be completely funding her lifestyle. Maybe we are underestimating what she's earning, but she said herself that she's earning a lot less now than when she was in her 9-5. Added to that, her channel is not growing at all. I'd guess that she's actually losing viewers at this point. She is simply not as enjoyable to watch as she used to be - not since she adopted this OTT YouTube persona she has going on.

I've mostly stopped watching her vlogs now, along with a number of others I would once watch weekly. I find that after six months to a year I start to lose interest when content becomes lacklustre, repetitive and then everything becomes an ad. It's a shame, but it seems to happen with most, if not all, YouTubers I've watched.

I enjoyed Jess Harris for a while, but lately I've been losing interest in her vlogs and just not enjoying them as much as I used to. I also noticed her tagging that Beyond Nine brand non-stop until she finally got a freebie. Mission accomplished. Yawn.
im the same, and was just about to mention Jess too which is a shame, if she quits her job and then starts fulltime on youtube i’ll give up.

I watched her newest video to see whether it kept any of the vibes of her old videos what with the season transition. She just comes across as a wannabe who's ticking the boxes of what it means to be an influencer. Random haul of seasonal decor all in one go, baking sourdough because everyone else, all the hand gestures god help us, setting goals for viewers validation. just all a bit sad

About income - they used to make the same income when she was still corporate. She said previously she only makes about 1/3 of her corporate salary from YouTube now so I can’t imagine she contributes much to savings after mortgage/ all her shopping trips.
For someone who no longer has a full time job, she still goes through money like water??

Her vlog viewing figures are incredibly low - how on earth does she make a living from them?

Ah, she did share a lot about the sort of thing she was doing though. I seem to remember she came off a call and talked about someone being really difficult to work with or rude/hostile to her. It was interesting for us, but I bet that wasn’t appreciated by employer…!
Wow! I didn't know she had done that. Yeah, I can see how they would find that unacceptable!

From what she said their new policy would have meant her having to quit YouTube completely. I guess it was enough of a problem that they didn't want her to continue even if she cut all mentions of work from her vlogs.

I used to really enjoy watching Ellen but I’ve not watched her for ages. It’s all a bit meh now she doesn’t work and her videos are very ‘samey’. I think I went off her when she and her mate were in the living room one time and they were just screaming for no reason 😖

Thank you for this thread, I've been looking for one for our Ellen!

I've watched her since her break-up with the previous boyfriend and felt she was more natural and relatable in those days.

It would be wrong of me to comment on the speed of her relationship with Cameron, because I met my husband, got engaged after three months, bought a house three months after that and married two months later! (16 years ago!)

I wish her well, but agree that the hand gestures are a bit over the top and she seems to be a little out of touch with people of a similar age. I bet her book obsession will fly out of the window when she has a baby!

Call me a cynic - and all of the comments on the wedding vlog are happy and positive - but they were already formally married in London on Valentine's Day, so why all this (incredibly over the top and very expensive) fuss in South Africa?!

I also think the groom could have been any rich professional she was with at the stage in her obvious life plan of married at 31, babies at 33 etc - it just happened to be Cameron.
Yeah, she moved super quick with Cameron to stay pretty much on her timeline after that last guy dumped her!

I've watched a few more of her videos lately and I think she is quite harmless and inoffensive; and I do like her make-up recommendations. I still think it's a shame she gave up her corporate job as those day in the life videos were quite good and more relatable. I do have to say, these influencer types really do give too many personal details away, she lives local-ish to me and it took about 5 mins to work out exactly where she lives..
They also forget their house sales are all over Rightmove...

The absolute juvenile shit she comes out with - ‘babysitting my tiny bestie’. Oh fuck off and grow up!

Today's vlog was quite short but so boring and she's becoming more and more removed from reality. Titting about spending a shitload of money on expensive clothes, face cream and books (Waterstones must surely be THE most expensive place to buy books!) when she doesn't have a regular income, then making some biscuits. She lives the life of a rich and retired pensioner! She's now so unrelateable to most people, and not just of her age.

Cameron met her when she was working in a corporate job. How soon before he becomes bored of what limited conversation she must have, unless he wants a Stepford Wife.
Theres something about their relationship that gives me an 'agreement/arrangement ' vibe. She speaks to him quite badly. Doesn't come across as a particularly happy or loving relationship. She's just desparate to pin down a man who will play into the instagrammable lifestyle shes desparate for.

Her vlogs were soo good until she went full time. So dull and so cringe now. Seems a lonely life for a 30 yr old!
