i watched the Ollies’ videos yesterday. F4F does very little to promote them on the Chateau Diaries. I think, like the true malignant narc that she is, she hates to see anyone get attention or have any success because she is the only one who should get everything, earn everything, and be the perpetual Queen of the Day every day.
IMHO, I think she is jealous that they are trying to get things done, will actually clean their home, seem to like/love their cats and dogs, etc. They can definitely spend money on high end meals, clothing, bedding, furniture, art, send their children to expensive private schools, etc. even while ebegging on YouTube so by no means do I think they are altruistic angels. They are hustlers, just like F4F, just a more muted version, who want the adulation, youtube fame, and money to live a lifestyle that is much more indulgent and more expensive than they otherwise could afford.
The Ollie’s have over 25,000 subscribers. I have no idea what they are pulling in on Patreon. Their videos seem much more professional , calm, and productive than F 4F’s frenetic shitshow trashy soap opera bordello vibe videos.
I think F4F has shelved the travel channel videos with Ollie so she won’t have to share income with him or give him any more exposure to grow his magical mansion audience. Ollie and Camilla were dependent upon F 4 F initially to get exposure and to build a core audience, but now I think they can continue growing their channel on their own. Ollie also has a job outside of YouTube, and has recently received an inheritance for his aunt.
Fanny is pissed that the Ollies are completing work, etc.
F4 F wants to be the only one who succeeds in the youtube chateauverse and is angry when anyone affiliated with the Dump tries to start a youtube channel. She will plot and encourage the person to start a channel, imply or will not discourage any ideas that the person may have about receiving help from, the Dump crew, or will actively encourage or push really bad ideas or investments for their channels. Then she pulls the rug out from under them, will not help them, and unfortunately and sadly watches their channel and unrealistic dreams go down in flames, and waits for them to come crawling back to the Dump where the Shittelaine will exploit them for content.
She has encouraged and watched the flower killer flounder, Phi Phi’s I cannot cook and can only fondle porcelain channel, encouraged the follies of Selmar and Tatty and their YouTube dreams into the ditch, feebly supports Dana’s questionable cooking channel, tepidly supports Potts channel, has encouraged the 2 puppies and Hermes blanket duo, was jealous of Dan and Annalise’s original dan the gardener channel ( and cut off access to the Dump for filming, made him wait on posting, or ruined his videos by revealing info before the video was aired, etc.).
What happened to the planned Anne Marie woodworking youtube channel? F 4F put an end to that idea quickly.
Disclaimer: of course Dan is a careless, impulsive,, selfish idiot. Having said that, I can see Fanny encouraging Dan’s foolish and unsustainable dreams of restoring the burnt out building and achieving YouTube fame by teaming with Anne Marie, letting them make his videos and grandiose claims of plans for his crispy roofless Dump, achieving his 100,000 subscriber youtube plaque ( which fanny promptly revealed and used for her chateau diaries content), and then prohibiting Anne Marie from participating in it, leaving Dan in the dust. Remember the whole dump crew going to the crispy castle to eat McDonald’s, etc.
Dan then has once again, disappointed and failed to deliver for viewers, and has no viable plans to move forward. Then F4F tells him something like, “ we will be so much better going our own ways. I do not want to hold you back. Byeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!! Then exploits his kids for Assvent fodder. Dan then disappears from YouTube until spring arrives and he can weedeat and mow the crispy building lot again.
Why would anyone think Anne Marie has the experience to essentially do the job of structural engineers, trained construction personnel, etc.? Anne Marie admits he watches YouTube videos to figure out how to do work at the Dump. Rebuilding a crispy shell of a building from scratch seems way out of his wheelhouse.
