I’ve been watching Grace for years. I can’t believe how her subs have grown! (well I can). I agree with everything said, she’s such a breath of fresh air.
Some things that I’ve noticed that make me like her is how.. normal she is? I feel like most youtubers are so lazy, sleep all day, look like they don’t shower, act really entitled, are spoiled, have people doing everything for them, complain all the time, either eat like crap or are too ‘clean eating’ to the point that it makes you feel like
tit, like to be preachy about their views (when they actually know nothing about what they are talking about) and all they want to do is talk about how HARD it is doing YouTube. How much time it takes. How much stress there is. How tired they are. They make excuses for not sticking to their twice weekly uploads because ‘iT’s JuSt ToO mUcH’. Then the videos they put out is just regurgitated content that they have copied from someone else.
With Grace we see her getting up and starting her day at a reasonable time and actually doing things for herself. Yes she lives at home but she still does her own washing, cooks for herself and even cooks a lot for her family. She’s always mentioning doing chores around the house and cleaning the bathroom etc. Likes to help out by doing the food shop for her family. She actually eats fairly normal food. She (pre lockdown) baby sat for family friends and volunteered at her local school. Then she runs her youth program for church (which she is still doing via Zoom). She actually has other things in her life and proper responsibilities. I’m so sick of seeing YouTubes become so vapid and wrapped up in their own world where everything is about them and taking the perfect insta pics and they call that a hard days work
. Grace proves that it is possible if they actually put the work in and prioritised their time better.
One thing that made me chuckle was when she and her friend made full on PowerPoints pitches about the expensive houses on RightMove with a pretend client in mind and then they did a Zoom together and pitched their ideas to each other. If that doesn’t perfectly sum up Grace, I don’t know what will.
