I generally feel annoyed watching them but this video really just infuriated me. Like, at least some of this video was filmed during/after all the horrible destruction in Fort Myers/Naples/Sanibel/Captiva. Even if she didn’t know how bad it was there, I felt like she kept going on and on and ON about losing power, which seemed extremely callous to include in this video. Then in the next shot she’s talking about the eggplant parmesan or whatever that she made for dinner while people are unable to reach their elderly parents or being boated to safety from their flooded homes. And then to have the audacity to tell viewers to share charities in the comments while sharing no resources of their own? They really don’t know how to care about anyone other than themselves.
And I hope this doesn’t sound like I think losing power is no big deal - it’s very stressful to lose power anyway, and even more when something like this is going on. It’s more that they’re just so oblivious and completely lack compassion and awareness of how lucky they are, and how much worse they could have had it. I feel like they (and other vloggers) are so focused on releasing timely content that they have completely overlooked the fact this is a natural disaster that is affecting real human lives and will continue to do so. I also love how Jen is editing as they go on hurricane footage to get it out ASAP, but is taking her sweet time on DL footage - it should have been the other way around.
