Vegans and Ex-vegans

[Millennial Pink]

I didn't watch her latest videos yet. What is it this time?

Shampoo bar thing. I don't care if its eco friendly or not, I just want to know if a video is sponsored before I click on the damned thing.

I appreciate that she doesn't try and make him the focus of her content and they maintain some level of privacy by not sharing his name. But from the small snippets that are shown he seems like a nice person and they look so happy together.

What is her Youtube name?

Anyone noticed that Jason of those vegan guys does this weird sniffing thing where he wrinkles his nose all the time. I find it really annoying!

paul’s last couple of vids are yet more naval gazing.Self absorbed arse!

Yes, and Paul does that cough/throat clearing thing. Learn to edit, I beg of you!

 

[DietGossip]

yeah I’m not a fan of his either, or the Bosh guys.

The Bosh cookbook is great though

What is going on with Durian Rider and his new gf? Does anyone think she is just an (attractive) accessory for him?

I mean, yeah. That's what he makes them. No one does anything about the way he literally moulds each girlfriend into what he wants. It's so sad.

What is her Youtube name?

Sustainably Vegan

Miles took Kratom (alongside diazepam and marijuana) for about 18 months to mitigate severe nerve pain. He became addicted and increased his dosage to the point of almost killing himself. He filmed his videos during the short highs / pain-free periods. He lost weight because his body could no longer absorb nutrients. He spent February in rehab. He is better now. He is still with Jil.

Oh man that sounds rough. Thanks for the recap. That sounds absolutely horrible. I'm glad he went to rehab, I really hope he's actually doing better now and not pretend better. I wish him well. I hope Jill takes good care of him. He has so many issues, I hope he takes himself more serious from now on. I hope someone still guides him from day to day.

I love sweet greens vegan too, I only found her channel recently and binged her what I eat in a week videos

Same, I couldn't stop watching. She's such a fun and bright person and I like that she just has a normal life with normal people if you know what I mean? And her meals look amazing and just so inclusive (like no crazy weird diets or excluding food groups), I love how she uses and eats just anything as long as it's vegan of course. She's very inspirational.

 

[Millennial Pink]

Oh thanks, do you have a link for me where I can listen?

It's just on her Youtube as far as I'm aware. I don't even get my nails done, but I really liked the one with the vegan salon owner.

Why in goodness is Nicole in her pants in the thumbnail of a food video?

I wondered the same! I stopped watching her videos because there was a lot of parading around and posing when they were meant to be about food

I followed so many vegan youtubers back in 2015-16. Man they brainwashed me. Brianna Jackson, Fruitarian Elle, Freelee and Harley , the unnatural vegan (kinda liked her), Rawvana, Fully Raw Kristina etc..

Brianna and Elle stopped being vegan, gained a tonne of weight, admitted that veganism was just to cover up their ED (duh) and then proceed to be pretty absent off social media and still likely struggling with their EDs. Don't think Rawvana is vegan either. Freelee has become even more bonkers.
I can't believe I went vegan because of these guys, and actually seriously considered going over to Chiang Mai. I got so obsessed with it - such a cult.

Anyone know what happened to Julia Boer?!?! Remember her the drama with her!? She totally worshipped freelee and harley, she was so young. They fucked her up so bad (she gained 50kg on the 'raw till 4' diet) but she was hella annoying.

I think I'm starting to agree. I've noticed recently that Paul has mentioned his birthday is coming up soon a few times, then on the last unboxing (I think) he actually blurted the date as if to say send me stuff!

Thought exactly the same thing. It was so obvious!

 

[DietGossip]

... When watching the video, I thought Kratom was a prescription opioid. I just read a little bit about it, and it turns out that kratom is a fairly unresearched plant substance which has not been proven to be safe or effective for any medical purpose, though it has been used in traditional medicine. The effects only partially compare to those of opioids. This is congruent with his anti-vax stance and generally knowing better than scientists and medical professionals. I can't believe Miles' hubris led him into such a dangerous situation.

I can believe it. And I knew this was coming after his last video about drugs, I remember discussing it with someone at the time and saying he wasn't clean/sober which is why it was such a weird video (that I think he deleted pretty quickly).

No drama from what I know, but I like Madeleine Olivia and Sustainably Vegan.
Absolutely hate Naomi Victoria, she is vegan for fashion surely with all the stupid hauls she does and endless Starbucks.


Mod edit: This was taken down because we were concerned about mentioning lots of small accounts. But it can go live as long as it's only about the larger accounts

 

[Bluelipstick]

Yeah I stopped following unnatural vegan a while ago because yikes.

Also those vegan guys, the go fund me was to buy a drone? Are they serious! I can’t believe anyone would donate to that.

 

[Millennial Pink]

just off current topic but does anyone here watch Emily Ewing? I find her rather realistic ... also one I haven't seen on here is Vegan Bodegacat.. I find her very relatable ie she does food test videos and then actually eats the leftovers for the rest of the week etc like a normal person

No but Emily looks like someone I might enjoy- I'll watch a few of her videos.

Does anyone watch Vegan Beauty Girl? I quite like her content but the way she eats and pouts for the camera grates on me a bit.

 

[LydiaDeetzHat]

Did anyone see that Emily Ewing is moving back in with her parents?
She mentions in the comments that it's for financial reasons.
I'm genuinely curious how it comes she's in such a dire position. She works from home, has a sponsor on most of her videos, she has around 130k subs and her videos are doing quite well + combined with the sponsors she should be making enough to pay for her life?
I know she has a car and a dog to take care off and she mentioned that the rent at her place is very high and that she doesn't want to have a roommate anymore but I still don't get how she's not making enough money. There are a lot of smaller creators with less subs, less views and pretty much don't have sponsors and they are able to live on their own perfectly fine.
Not being mean to her, but genuinely curious especially because she's pretty vague and invasive about the whole situation and even said she doesn't want to explain her reasons (which is fine, private life is private life).
I am happy for her, however, that she has her parents to fall back upon. Not a lot of people are in such a good position.
Again, no hate or whatever to her, I absolutely adore her and she's one of my favorite vegan youtubers and I often save her videos for when I'm feeling low because her voice and videos are so comforting. But just wondering what you guys think about this?
I'm interested to see how her content will change.

might not even be a dire situation.. she might be taking care of someone or just that she cant afford the rent anymore, perhaps roommate is moving out etc.. who knows.. does she have a day job or just YT?

Freelee is another subject entirely - she's a really unpleasant specimen. I was hardly surprised to see a video on why she doesn't support the BLM movement, vile creature she is

Did she say this@?!

 

[Taetae95]

I hadn't followed her in a while so I was surprised to see maddie lymburner was no longer vegan!

Are mr and mrs vegan still kicking around? I've always felt off about them.

 

[macrofriendly]

I've just had another look at her insta. Some very worrying stuff on there on a few levels.

What is her handle?
