A fair point regarding my comment on 'stupid Americans', thank you for the monitoring it reminds me of somewhere...oh wait...it is CD fans attacking people for any perceived transgression. As to my state of mind, indeed you are quick, considering i did state i was angry, how very perceptive of you! No need for armchair psychology as after all i did state it myself. However, why i am angry is not her revenue; it is the plain injustice of claiming money from people when she has it hidden away in trusts and property. I can make my own money, without selling my privacy and that my dear is something i am very proud of and not angry at all about!
Just to add to the conversation, and I should state that the reason Iām okay with paying for content is that, as an American, my cable bill is $200 a month. $5 a month to me is nothing. If SJ is cranking out 12-15 hours of programming a month itās cheap. I have hundreds of channels and I donāt have anything to watch. I think the videos are welcome because itās sort of reality, which is better than the canned diy shows we have over here.
On camera SJ comes across as a little nutty, which is entertaining, but the fact that she churns out the videos (some have a good deal of research that goes into them) makes her a bargain. Sheās also a really good presenter. She seems to be highly motivated to make the money and I appreciate the hustle. She never misses putting out content and seems happy to have a ājobā. She seems appreciative too. I know people in positions similar to hers and it could well be sheās never had a vocation or chance at one sheās liked because of her parents. She seems to be very happy and delivers what she says sheās going to deliver. She also has not, as of yet, flooded the merchandise or done a product placement, which is admirable.
I get where youāre coming from though. Sheād be well served to shut the gift stuff down. But sheās trying to keep her fans happy. It may probably get to be too much. Sheās much more appreciative than tv stars, theyād never do what sheās doing.
Her financial background is the elephant in the room as far as Iām concerned. She needs to find a way to do a reset on all of that and come clean, but some of us pay for the content and consider it a fair trade. Weāre not doing it because we think sheās poor.
