God THIS. Sorry about the upcoming rant but I was thinking early about how incredibly lazy her content is. As if she has the bollox on her channel to complain about how hard she works when she makes an excuse to not upload every other week and pays someone to edit her lazy AF vlogs.
Just for a little context, I work in video production for social media content/digital advertising (not a YouTuber, motion graphic designer/video editor/producer) so I can really see the ins-and-outs of absolutely how little effort and skill she puts into her videos. Literally just props her camera up twice a week to film herself ripping into packages dispersed by her chatting about what crap she's going to beg for or buy next. And this girl is a millionaire from it! Galling.
She never films sit-downs anymore, there is never any b-roll or setup shots interspersed in her content even when she travels unless Ali films and edits for her. I find it genuinely hilarious when she has said before about how she loves how she can express her creativity through her videos.
Am I being touchy because I make videos for a living too?

But the fact she loves calling herself a 'creator' cracks me up and grinds my gears at the same time. Girl doesn't have a creative bone in her body. Order crap online and then opening it whilst videoing yourself doesn't mean you are a bloody creative.
SO sorry about the rant but I needed to get it out. I've been watching some GREAT stuff on YouTube recently and the contrast is literally insane. If anyone wants to watch something that is actually beautifully shot and creative with really good folk, check out some of Sailing La Vagabond. They are this gorgeous couple with a little babe that sail around the world on a 45ft Catamaran and make these insanely well filmed beautiful videos of them actually doing stuff. So inspiring me and my partner are now learning to sail so we can do this within the next few years. What does Lydia inspire anyone to do? Buy a £90 mug so she can get a kickback?
The fact they don't even have wifi on the boat and upload an epic video every week is amazing. They sailed with Greta Thunberg across the Atlantic and still managed to get their videos uploaded on schedule. Absolutely crackers that Lydia doesn't leave the bungalow and she still it can't manage to get haul number #5064636 up on time
