Okay, what is up with the nonstop flirting, multiple “winks”/ almost ” winks”, and the cutesy finger waving at the camera pleading for people to subscribe and give the video a like to show YouTube that she “has done an okay job.” See the poor little Hannah needs your help to like the videos the big bad YouTube will think that she has done an OK job ? Really? WTF was the flirtatious look and sign off to the video, “ if you can’t be good, be safe.”
Sadly and unfortunately, Hannah has totally changed her philosophy from a couple of years ago and is now chasing the $$$$$$ nonstop and is100% committed to all the cheap YouTube crap as others in this forum have mentioned, e.g., inflammatory, usually misleading, clickbait titles, weirdly filtered screenshots of herself with a distorted body/ head and super intense filtered appearance. Such a shame.
She mentioned her weight about 3 to 4 times in the video yesterday. She made a comment about needing to go to the hotel gym, and other comments about not wanting to eat dinner at the hotel, just eating a few snacks, etc.
The zeal to win the YouTube lottery has had an obvious impact on her recent videos. She wants that cash. She loved showing off that trashy $2000 bag she’s hauling around as her ” new camera bag.” She loves all the special treatment and staying in five star hotels, and eating at luxury restaurants occasionally, yet still complains nonstop about everything in her life in videos.
She watches all the YouTube videos that were made about any hotel in which she is going to rent a room. She knows what aspects of the hotel to film beforehand and what exact type of room that she would like to rent. She likes to create scenarios where she is the poorly treated underdog and viewers need to rush in to save “ their girl” Hannah, by posting comments, flooding the booking.com hotel site for a hotel that “ hurt the feelings of their girl Hannah” or charged her incorrectly for her hotel stay. Hannah isn’t doing anything new. She is just rereading old ground that several Youtubers have done before her, usually days to weeks before her stay at a luxury hotel or restaurant.
I don’t believe she’s using fake names to check into the hotels. She knows that all the hotels are aware of who she is and what she is doing. I think she likes all the perks and indulgences that come with her new direction for her channel where she simply stays in a luxury hotel one night a week and films a lunch or dinner on anothe day for a video.
I think she’s trying to make viewers believe that she is struggling financially to afford the 5 star hotels and the majority of her viewers do not realize how much money she is making monthly off of YouTube. She likes to emphasize that she is paying for the hotels herself with her own money, like she is a struggling martyr or the new patron saint of 4 and 5 star London hotels. People then feel bad for her and send her money in the comments or feel as if they must place a comment in the comment section, subscribe and click like for the video, increasing her YouTube statistics, etc. She has never once corrected or told viewers that she can easily afford the expensive hotel rooms and meals because she is making a big chunk of money from the YouTube channel.
At times, I believe she is setting up or relaying exaggerated situations to viewers about how she feels like she’s been badly treated or will make some strange comment or complaint about a hotel in order to get hundreds of comments to up her ratings for YouTube. It is very disingenuous and is basic YouTuber manipulation for views, clicks, and $$$$, which is something that she swore for years she would never do. She seems to have no shame now unplugging sponsors during videos and using questionable YouTube marketing tactics to draw an audience. It is a disappointing change in her channel and in her philosophy towards vlogging. She works in marketing, she knows that some of the clickbait titles and tactics that she is using are sleazy.
I noticed that she did not want to show the welcoming note from the hotel that was on the table in her hotel suite. Is it because it has a real name on it again and she’s not using an alias every single time she books into a hotel? All of these hotels are aware that she is a video blogger. I believe she gets a lot of special upgrades, attention, etc., due to that knowledge. In fact, a few videos ago, she remarked that she had been placed in the same suite at a hotel that a well-known YouTube travel channel host had stayed within the last year.
Her videos are getting very perfunctory. She checks in, shows off her outfit, complains about her hair, nails, her job, and weight, rummages through the mini bar in the room, run her hands over the furniture, complains if she has not been left biscuits, makes comments about the bathroom.She then roams around the hotel, seemingly embarrassed if anyone notices that she is filming, and speaking in an exaggerated whisper. She pretends to be surprised when she is given an upgrade, a complementary drink, etc. Rinse and repeat every week.
I find it hard to believe that she’s never eaten Taco Bell or heard of Kentucky Fried chicken, etc.
I agree with other people in this forum that Hannah is playing a bit of a dangerous game with her latest “ date ” videos to hotels and restaurants. She’s getting more flirtatious with each video, creating a false intimacy with with her scripted storylines, “ pack your fancy pants cuz this week is something really rather special, rather expensive, rather fancy indeed. We are staying at the brand new Chancery Lane.” We are staying at this hotel….what would you like to order at dinner.…you are going to order the expensive drink, aren’t you…….I am taking you on a date to …..” she keeps referring to herself in the third person as “ your girl Hannah” in videos, to try to create some type of intimate relationship with viewers and to get them to be loyal to her and her channel. It is getting weird.
She is encouraging some of the strange men that show up in her comment section to believe or indulge in the fantasy that they are actually on a date with her or staying in a hotel with her. I recall a few videos ago that one man sent her $400 towards her hotel room. Other men are giving her $$$$ in the comment section to go towards her expensive hotel rooms. She’s getting overly flirtatious with her weekly dinners that she films for her channel, talking about going on an exclusive dinner date with viewers, asking what drinks they would like to order, etc. It is getting a bit creepy.
I liked the old Hannah better than the new exaggerated/ intermittent posh accent, manipulative, $$$$ hungry, disingenuous, influencer Hannah That seems to dominate her videos in the past several months. Do you think she’s trying to build her channel up so she can quit her job with Disney and become a full-time vlogger? I believe her videos where she went to different exhibits, went to different areas of London, etc. were much more interesting than weekly routine luxury hotel videos. Perhaps one or two hotel videos, a month, but weekly? That’s going to get old very quickly.
