Ugh! You know what though, I do think that when she first started out and for those first few years, she probably did work hard (hard as in, like what regular folk do week in week out, nothing more nothing less). She was on trips, had sponsorship deals and didn't have her 'team', so would be answering emails, editing, touting for business etc. I doubt she was doing more than anyone in a regular 40 hour per week role, but she probably did put effort in.
What pisses me off is that she does NOT do that now. The more popular her channel has become, the lazier she has become and with a full time dogsbody, sorry, COO, full time editor and now soon to be PA, she doesn't actually do anything other than talk to a camera from her bungalow. Again, it's a case of 'the lady doth protest too much'. She knows she now does
duck all, but thinks if she keeps banging on about how hard she works, people will believe her. And because she probably did work hard years ago, she believes that's her justification for all this continuous need to prove a point!
