Eve Cornwell

[rhil]

i don’t mind the ads when the videos creators put forward are still interesting/good quality, honestly used to be glad when people like eve got them bc a lot of work goes into filming/editing and it can’t be easy to juggle with a full time job, so at least they’re making something from it. it’s just annoying when a video is being made just so she can post the ad - it shows in the video idea/editing bc it’s so much poorer than her other uploads :/

Agree with you, I also just think Skillshare has been done to death, it feels like anyone could get a collab with them. It would be nice to see more variation in brand sponsorships across YouTube as a whole, but that’s a separate issue

Dressing "queer" doesn't have to be a huge bold statement though. I'm also going down the law route and I know that I'll have to wear "business" clothes, but the way I hold and present myself has a lot to do with how confident I am.

I think Eve goes a bit over the top sometimes, and she can be a very extreme person (no hate, it's just who she is), but not everyone who wants to incorporate their sexuality wants to do it in an extreme way. A subtle pin, or an undercut, or shoes can be the way someone does it. Even just a woman wearing a suit can be a way of comfort for some people. It's not like wearing a costume everyday, it's just about adhering to the "uniform" of the job whilst still being comfortable

Sure it doesn't have to be a bold statement. With Eve, it seems she's changed not only the way she dresses but also her general attitude - the way she speaks, gestures, even her content which is disappointing cause imo it changed to worse. Her pretentiousness is insufferable nowadays.

Still, I guess I just don't understand how clothes would link to your sexuality itself since I believe we should be more neutral with our opinions on other people's clothes and don't apply labels to them. Like what kind of clothes qualify as queer - it would have to mean that more "quirky" clothing choices suggest you're of a XYZ sexuality whereas some people would want to wear some clothes just cause they like the style without labelled as queer and be labelled with some stereotypes. Like sure, wearing a t-shirt with a phrase pointing out to you being queer would work but, like with Eve, wearing more bold colours shouldn't in any way suggest that f.ex. you're a lesbian cause why would it. Personally I don't dress up in any distinct way nor I am in any way against it I just feel it goes in the wrong direction of highlighting the stereotypical approach to queer people.

This reminds me, whatever even happened to Millennial Coffee Club?

Sometimes I feel bad that I'm buying into this by already liking a product that is being sponsored to death by YT.

I use Notion to keep all my major work to do lists, project plans and notes from my 1:1s with my manager. Not sure how I could do my entire job on there though - I write a lot of papers and they make it really hard to export anything into other software, and I find the formatting/display options limited for anything beyond a list. For that purpose though, can't complain.

Still really confused how her job isn't basically sales/marketing with some surface level tech knowledge, though?

 

[kittykatbatty]

does anyone else think her voice has changed in this new vid??

 

[Lola123]

Eve just likes the label of tech as she thinks she’s the only one with the capability to change anything as someone who identities as queer and she thinks she can “disrupt” what they do, she’s sorely mistaken

 

[YellowLadybird]

My mind instantly goes to Grackle as the opposite of this - hardly ever does sponsorships, and her other 'job' is working at a church part time doing kids ministry, which may not even be paid. Someone who could probably use the money but has the integrity to not take every offer going!

 

[Gilly88]

Is this why she got the tech secondment?

Could be, its a dud seat choice to have on your CV. I certainly wouldn't pick it as my final seat. but then again I wouldn't be surprised if she chose the seat, its an easy one and likely will give her 9-5 hours.

oh wow, any idea why she seems to be so unpopular?

Well in my cohort (im at a different firm) we all think she's just bit cringe. and lawyers are just very dry humoured peeps and her enthusiasm is nauseating. She comes across very obnoxious and all knowing when she's just a trainee (her marching around, showing the office tour on YouTube I bet went down like a lead balloon with her colleagues).

 

[peach1234]

Totally agree, i much preferred her “boring” day-to-day vlogs

 

[bublifuk]

Same as the rest of the UK no mixing households unless your in a support bubble, neither of them lives alone as far as I know
Based on the fact she got a girlfriend in a pandemic, I’d say she’s been breaking lockdown rules and tiered restrictions all along

Thanks, I don't live in the UK, that's how I don't know about that lol.

Yeah it's pretty safe to say that she's been ignoring restrictions all along, and before her gf made her insta private you could see that she was mixing a lot as well.

I didn't understand why she started dating during the pandemic? Like I get she became more comfortable with her sexuality and felt lonely, but my last thought when restrictions get looser would be "ah time to get cosy with a bunch of different girls that I don't know"?? Plus she lives with two of her close friends, don't they hang out together? Don't know if they're in London ofc.

Magic circle firms have hotels, gyms, doctors etc but that's because most people don't really leave. It pays well but you have to put in the hours and then some.

Like with everything else, Eve lazily delegated the work rather than put in effort herself to build a respectable brand.

It was run by her management company of grifters, who source all their products from the cheapest, shittiest, most ill-equipped suppliers. As a result, they were able to offer up generic drinking straws and poor-quality hoodies, but it was a coffee shop that couldn't offer coffee. (A lot like how Jack Edwards and Ruby Granger both have stationery companies run by the same management team and neither stationery company sell pens, pencils, or, y'know stationery.)

Her dreams of imitating Emma Chamberlain died on their ass immediately and were never mentioned again.

Also, I don't think she appreciated that she wasn't a millennial and that millennials were becoming uncool

 

[jm234]

What do you guys make of her post about not wanting to return to normal normal?

I find it sort of... funny. As I'd understand it, law is one of those fields where you go in expecting to work long hours and possibly miss out on family/friend time. It's not ideal by all means, but at the same time she sort of did sign up for it

I think she's a complete idiot for saying that.

 

[DietGossip]

I'm hoping that the coding thing was a bad joke

 

[bublifuk]

That's a taste thing really, I drink pretty much exclusively filtered coffee too tbh, even at coffee shops, I just prefer the taste.

Same here, and for Eve it’s a major upgrade considering she drank instant coffee for years

 

[YellowLadybird]

Sooo she's involved with outreach/promotion for her firm but actively flaunts breaking the law online?? How is her firm ok with this?

I mean not that it makes it ok but at this point nearly everyone breaks the rules in some way, and there are a million 'exception' clauses that make it very difficult to tell between legit meetings and not. FWIW I literally work in the healthcare services and even we are confused at times.

I think everyone has the right to speak about their sexuality. It's not right to force anyone to speak about it. Even influencers.

 

[mindlessness]

Personally, I didn't have that big of an issue with her being maskless on the tube before the recent restrictions because it wasn't a strict requirement (and really I don't know how busy the tube is in general, that may massively change my opinion) but that + the other stuff from when restrictions were very strict has given a fairly clear pattern on her disregard for those rules

I think it has been strict requirement on TFL services (So the DLR, Tube, Buses etc) for a while (https://metro.co.uk/2021/07/19/lond...ask-rules-and-when-will-they-change-14950369/). But there's been poor public adherence and the rules differ on other transport modes in England (https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-58734287).

I think travelling to France on the same day they annouce they don't want tourists to travel there is a bit...disrespectful I guess? I don't think I would have made the same choice.

 

[sheleg]

I legit forget about her until her thread pops up in my Watched list!

It's not my place to speculate about anyone's sexuality, but I know a lot of people think Eve is bisexual which if she is, then it's her decision to disclose that. I think it'd be nice to have such a positive LGBTQ+ role model, but her sexuality isn't a key part of her 'brand' and therefore I don't think it's fair to speculate and push it on her. Regardless of that, I really enjoy Eve's content and I think that she's offering a really unique take on true crime videos - the 'usual' true crime videos are generally sit down, and as much as I love them (I'm such a fan of Eleanor Neale), it's really nice to watch something more creative and energetic. I'm actually studying Law and Eve made it seem so much more accessible and engaging than I first imagined at 17 years old and I am really grateful for that, but I do wonder if she genuinely enjoys Corporate Law or if she is just doing it because it has a very attractive financial bonus (which I don't blame her for, I just think it's sad that we encourage people to chase money rather than happiness and genuine enjoyment)
