Alexa and his mom are back as well. Liked how they were all standing at the thunder mountain spot. Still teasing Alexa about the food and Instagram :LOL:

Nah seems like he was her for views (couple content) and she wanted to get serious and he wanted other women
I think it's a bit of a mix, Jojo seems like he's too friendly and most of the time doesn't like to say no directly because he doesn't want to dissapoint. He may have meant that by the "we're good friends" types of comments, but didn't really consider how serious her feelings were.

She seems really pissed off though, I didn't really care for her in his vlogs but love this type of passive-aggressive subtweet drama! :ROFLMAO:

Learning experience, Jojo: grow balls and have the tough discussion instead of side-stepping, because it hurts more if you lead her on.

I liked the Universal vlog. I've been to Universal at Christmas twice, and frankly, their stuff against Disney's free stuff (Festival of the Holidays excepted) I'd give to Universal. The Hogwarts projection show is amazing.

I'm likely in a more charitable mood, but I ALMOST found his video recapping his journey to 100K charming.

Almost. What's wrong with me.
Yeah. Same here but it did make me wonder, ok he’s definitely been doing the camera thing for quite a while why does he seem less at ease and more clueless in front of it now.

Haha he seems like he enjoys what he does, and that goes a long way with Disney vloggers, however the reason for the negativity toward him is that he along with all the people on the Disney bandwagon are running out of things to do and are all doing the same things yet he has nothing unique about what he does, and then he can be annoying at times not much as jojo but still, however that’s more of a personal thing against him. I think he is better than most other vloggers rn because you do feel a sense of being genuine.
Yeah, for a while Kyle seemed to be going the same old "watch my weekly staycation/vacation" route; seems like now he's focusing a lot more on a genuine and relatable approach in the Genie + videos and standing himself apart from the other vloggers that are stuck in that "new updates/watch me eat things" content loop.

My biggest gripe with Kyle is how much he's fallen out with friends in the past - his vlogs with guests are more enjoyable, and so many of them made for his funnest vlogs when he was in the DCP. Hoping he's grown on from that, but I could see the media events getting to his head if he concentrates too much on them. When he's less collaborative with friends his motives feel less genuine to me, which is what he has going for him at the moment.

Can I just discuss JoJo for a second and the major success of his channel right now. I checked his social blade and he has literally had 2.5 million views overnight and has gained 2k subs quite quickly as a result. His potential earnings have also skyrocketed. And all of those views have come from his Star Wars lightsaber shorts.

It kind of feels wrong that this YouTube algorithm can majorly reward creators for the most low effort, frankly boring content. His daily vid views are pretty bad, especially in comparison to Kyles. At this point he may as well just be a short channel exclusively.

This is something else I appreciate about Kyle.
He can obviously see JoJo getting these views and hasn’t even jumped on the YouTube short bandwagon and it would be so easy for him to do that. I guess he just cares more about doing what he enjoys which are the vlogs.
YouTube's really trying to build up their role for younger media viewers with the shorts, desperately trying to get a marketshare before TikTok has the chance to expand with a larger video platform. I don't think it's the best move for YouTube, but good on Jojo for being able to leverage his TikTok success for channel growth - it's going to be an interesting one to watch if/how he's able to get more engagement and views for his regular vlogs when all his growth has mostly come from shorts. He'll really need to change up his style for those if he's wants to make it work though.

The great thing about Christmas at Universal is that--unless they've changed it--it's all included in park admission except for the VIP stuff. I mean, I guess you don't get free snickerdoodles and the ability to purchase exclusive merch. But you get the parade, the Grinch, and their decorations, which blow the MK ones out of the water, especially this year. And even the VIP experience isn't that much money.

They used to have a Death Eaters projection show on Hogwarts in the summer and fall. I hope they bring that back next year.

Universal Orlando doesn't quite have the cohesion Disney World does, and it doesn't have the nostalgia factor, but the things they do better, they do SOOOO much better. More affordable hotels with better amenities, and while I don't have a basis for comparison for Galaxy's Edge, Wizarding World feels like a complete experience while Pandora feels like a cool ride with theming. My husband, who is not a theme park fan and utterly detested Disney World, loves UO.

Sincerely: Mad props for being able to say "spondylitis" vs "spondylolisthesis" correctly. I paid several hundred thousand dollars to learn to do that.

Kyle being good looking is debatable tbh
I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I'm not quite sure I'd call it "debatable." He dresses, acts, and grooms himself like an overgrown frat boy, but that's not really unappealing.

Put the middle-aged guys like PMM, OA, and Tim Tracker to the side. He, JoJo, and Patrick are by far the best looking younger male vloggers. Look at Adam Hattan (previously well-groomed, now doing a poor job hiding how chunky he's gotten), Dave Kay (could raise himself a point or two with better self care), or Mikey (he's so slovenly and aged, but he is only 30). Kyle's way above that.

Yeah jojos shorts do well but I'm not sure how helpful that is in the long term from a financial point of view for him, surely he needs them to convert to viewers to make decent money

So he posted a new video today about saying goodbye and big changes coming. Not going to watch his clickbait shit, so can anyone who watched summarize?

He took down his Halloween decorations. And put up a very sad little Christmas tree 😂 It needs a good fluffing. Take that as you will. He’s also asking subscribers to send ornaments for it because it’s “our” tree.

My feelings about Kyle are such a damn rollercoaster ride…
And presents for underneath too? What a dweeb
