Agree. And I used to like Shea when she was a smaller Youtuber but now I find her incredibly annoying. Her personality seemed to triple once she got more popular.

I used to love Shea as well, her taste/love for luxury and channel direction has changed so I don’t feel connected with her anymore. I see her happy so I am glad for her.

I watch handbag videos as on YT as a way to relax. I can’t go out much as I’m waiting for a hip replacement.
I used to like Caitlin P but she had an epithany during lockdown and now I feel like I’m being preached at. I’ve gone off Chase Amie and Mel in Melbourne because of all the sponsored content. Sophie Shohet is ok. I like Maria D and Je Suis Lou but I don’t know how they afford everything. Cassie Thorpe is my absolute favourite and I think Romina Rose May is sweet but a bit too obsessed with Bulgari. Dayle’s Addiction is relatable. I like Emma Anders but she doesn’t post much.

I watched this fellow Aussie youtuber’s take on price increase and thought of sharing -

I used to love her content about minimalistic luxury but always think that's a bit weird to hear from someone who owns bags in the highest range of each brand like Birkin, Kelly 25, CF Chanel, CDC bracelet, Van Cleef and Arpels necklace, etc. It's like she has every perfect item in her collection and tells others not to own them.

I'm building my collection so I skip all her videos lately. Furthermore, it has become redundant and confusing for the audience. I think she should think about finding a new direction for her channel: Going towards something more intellectual or staying with the luxury content?

Am not sure about what they are going to offer, looks like they will discuss some private topics with membership group and even answer their questions first . They will reveal More informatiom in upcoming video
..
Please watch first few minutes of this video

I like their live chat videos but not sure if I'm ready to pay for them. It seems like we still have 2 out of 4 per week that we can watch for free.
When it turns to be more business, I understand but still feel like everything may not go in the same way we used to appreciate.

I agree that she is at a crossroads for her channel. I was a little put off by her latest video that was essentially an ad disguised as a shopping haul…put a bad taste in my mouth as it seems to contradict her previous videos.

Also there was one video that Super Dacob commented on and I agree with his viewpoint. She said that money was “locked in” her bags and was upset she lost money on luxury items when she sold them. Well, if you used the items you are not really losing money. It’s great if you can recoup some of your money when you sell luxury items but honestly, it is a product that is meant to be used. Most people sell their items at a loss, and I have issue with this mentality because it’s a bit deceitful as regular folks (without YouTube channels) then think they should be able to make money on used items when in reality that is very rare. Ok, rant over.

I admit I watch youtubers to unwind and while I eat my meals, but I do have some major issues with them. First, I’ve never gotten the appeal of unboxings. Obviously they’re super popular, but watching someone take a bag out of the box and packaging all slowly? Why is that entertaining? Just show the bag! Also, for me it’s never been just the bag alone that makes a bag attractive, but how people WEAR the bag. And most videos are people just showing bags but not how they actually style and wear them. A bag is nothing special until someone wears it and incorporates it into their life. And honestly, a lot of the youtubers I see who post a picture of them with their bags have bad or meh style. I’ve said it before, but just because you have $ to throw down on expensive items does not mean you automatically look good and are stylish.

also I am soooo sick of the word “curate”. It was a word no one used until like 5 years ago and now it’s everywhere trying to sound like everyone is being all mindful about their purchases when really everyone is still just consuming consuming consuming. Consume, sell, consume consume. It’s a culture of massive consumption fueled by social media and YouTube making people feel like they don’t have enough and aren’t enough.

I still watch YouTube videos though, but luckily know better than to get sucked into that expensive wasteful consumption cycle.

Also I see hello catwalk with her birkin and I know that’s a holy grail bag but it doesn’t look anything special on her for how much it costs, just like the Fendi peekaboo on her is also just ok. Doesn’t make me want either bag at all. I prefer youtubers like Karenbritchick who only has like two Chanel bags and a couple Kellys but looks sooo good when she wears them.

Youtube was once a place where people do videos because it's a fun thing for them to do/hobby and share with the world. Now it seems like every video is about money making (insert sponsored content). I get it that it's becoming a platform for marketing purposes; however, every video I see now it feels like a giant ad campaign.

Also I guess for those who are purely doing youtube for money, I guess youtube's revenue generating model for these influencers have gone down significantly and so they have to use other means like patreon, twitch, etc to generate revenue.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, they all once started youtube as a hobby and now they're all using it as their full time job and some are good at acknowledging it and some just continue on as if the viewers aren't aware....

end rant.

I used to watch Chase Amie a lot but I just can't stand most of these YT women any longer. They have large bag collections but they are not buying for enjoyment but just advertising and clicks. I never really see them using their bags but just unboxing and unboxing and never really using their stuff. Too many seem like bored housewives. I just do the YT search bar and search for what bag(s) I want to see and just randomly watch people, it is soooo much better b/c I see smaller YouTubers that way and they are more authentic. And I just cannot with Senreve - they are under contract to pretend its amazing.

This is so true!.. I find the smaller channels to be more authentic than than the bigger ones. People with a smaller collection of handbags tend to be the people i watch because they give accurate reviews on bags

I don’t watch much luxury YouTube but actually like her videos because it’s super rare to find people who are “mindful” about luxury. Most youtubers have a vast collection and almost all have “things I regret purchasing“ videos. I guess she had an epiphany some time that these regrets add up to thousands of dollars spent on something that you never use. She’s also done videos on plenty of items that she’s sold. I found her looking for luxury minimalist videos as this is what I favor. It’s nice to have someone in this space who isn’t all about hauling.

Je suis Lou whose videos I do enjoy, just got a kelly and a picotin and says she has another Chanel bag to reveal next week. She must definitely be making $$$ on YouTube because no way at 24 could I afford thousands and thousands of dollars in bags alone each month. I still can’t! Haha
