Dean is the director of a property management company. Someone suggested that they only rent out one house, the one they used to live in, but most people don’t set up a company to do that.She strikes me as someone who likes to cosplay the role of a successful businesswoman. But so many things she does and says say the opposite that no serious business owner would do.
Didn't someone say they own property and rent it out? I suspect that's the real main source of their income
There are some you tubers I've watched he'd now for years (not travel vloggers) even if there content hasn't changed all that much I still tune in because they have actual personality. I liked Katherine's old travel vlogs because she seemed just like a normal person. Now it's all aesthetic and no substance. She likes Japan but I couldn't tell you from her vlogs if she has a favourite anime or manga, just that she thinks the characters are cute and she likes going to the 'conveeny'It sums up how I feel about social media grifters. They want you to support them/give them an income through their personalities alone in some weird parasocial dependency and it’s a particularly perilous business model if you drop a faux pas. ALL YouTube personalities have a shelf life unless they pivot (to use Catherine’s latest buzz word) WITH their demographic, eg Pewdiepie from gamer to internet celebrity to wholesome family man. Frankly, at this stage, I can’t see Catherine’s audience pivoting with her.
what these grifters don’t understand is that producing content in itself isn’t giving anything to the viewer. It’s like the sticker on an apple. It tells you what it’s about but you bin it and forget about it. The content itself has to be of value to the viewer or they’ll spend their time elsewhere. That doesn’t mean providing them with a long list of consumerist balls, either.
What exactly is she offering viewers long term?
Just watched some of it and this is exactly how it comes across. Moan moan moan about how hard it is having to come back from her 12th holiday of the year and make a decision.I suspect what she's sick of is hard work.
Nobody closes a business this fast….something is definitely up. I do feel for Mike though as he’s the main earner in his household and Catherine should have given him plenty more warning than this!
Omg. God bless Mike (starts at 5:20 ish).

Breaking her heart my arse. It’s all about her, even in this comment! She couldn’t even say thank you.
When she’s vlogged her launches and shown the location of people who are on her website making purchases it’s 99% U.K.. Obviously there’s time differences etc but I don’t think she has a huge US market. Her YouTube videos must be very hard for most Americans to understand what she’s saying because of the accent and the affected voice she puts on. When she announced the Studio closure last week she threw a mention of Trump and tariffs in but nah… not buying it. The only tariffs affecting her would be UK ones on imports from China because that’s where she buys a lot of her tat from.I was wondering how much she sells to the US, has she seen the tariffs coming and thought that would tank them anyway
