Just to clarify, I don't hate Amy (hate is a big word), I just don't find her channel as interesting as before. I thank her for her commitment to Youtube (it's very time-consuming) and the fact that she can manage her finances to afford a luxury life is admirable. I'm just losing interest in the recent talks about Hermes and the sponsored videos. I understand she has to make money somehow but it's becoming too much and too often. Every video is about Samorga, Samorga, Anna Luisa, Samorga, Lilysilk, Samorga, Anna Luisa... If you watch one channel, it's fine. But if you watch 10 channels and 10 of them are all about these brands, you get tired of it quickly. At the end, it's her channel, it's her life, it's her freedom to talk about anything. Her channel has definitely changed in the past couple of years ever since she started her Hermes journey. I am sure she has gained a lot of viewers, but at the same time, she has lost some too.

I still watch Amy's videos and still like her, but some contents aren't as good as before. Just my thoughts.

Yes, I agree with the sentiment on the sponsored videos. It's not just her, because for every Youtuber that is not sponsored by Samorga/AnaLuisa/Lilysilk, they are sponsored by SkillShare instead and also include an annoyingly long 5 minute blurb in the middle of every video. Which leads me to believe that sponsors in general have changed the guidelines of what they're suppose to say. I feel like before it was a 10 second script with maybe a preview of an item, now it's like an entire commercial which is really annoying. The only exception for me would be MelInMelborne since she actually collabs with the brands to create new products. Tbh I did end up buying one of her shirts and skirts from Lilysilk because I liked the design. I considered her AnaLuisa bracelet too but in the end I just didn't feel any of AnaLuisa's stuff is worth the cost.

Also, sorry, I did not mean to point to any individual of "hating" Amy, I was just reading the last few pages of this thread and there was a lot of diss on her over how she sells her items so fast and takes advantage of her subbies to sell her items at premium. My comment was more of a lighthearted "daaang" reaction because I didn't realize people thought that way of her.

totally agree.

Like someone else said, I sometimes listen in when they do the live sessions because it's fun to listen and I totally dig the 'women support women even in business' aspect. I'm totally here for that. But, I am sooo tired of the Hermes, Hermes, Hermes talk. I like Hermes, but I'm definitely not obsessed with all things Hermes nor am I on a schedule for bags (I have bags, but at that price point, I'm not buying a lot of them per year). I feel Hermes talk took over most of the youtube scene during the last year and it has totally muted my interest in the brand. Everyone is buying the same 5 items - what a bore.

On a different note, I used to watch Shea (forgot her last name), but am not into the recent walmart and amazon hauls. But she had a video the other day where she said she was selling a bunch of her stuff and that it won't be above retail - I appreciate that and I think she is definitely more relatable than the "hermes journey pack" :)

I actually don't mind all the hermes talk because it just shows how every country and experience is different.

However, I do mind when youtubers buy expensive luxury items, hype it up and say it is "so so so good" . Then turn around to sell it shortly after at a much much higher price than retail. Thus taking advantage of people.

Also all the sponsored posts. Ana Luisa, Lily silk, etc. Just skip through all that but what a pain. It's just another teddy Blake type situation. You won't see it a year later.

Has anyone noticed Hello Catwalk City talking A LOT about money lately. I always appreciate financial transparency but she definitely is constantly talking about her “healthy household income”. Today’s video about her handbag journey is basically a humblebrag. “When I was a young professional”, “2009 is when I broke six figures”, “I was super ambitious, career-driven, hustle, hustle, hustle”. It’s almost like she is trying to prove she is not like “the other YouTubers” but it just makes her seem like she is trying too hard to prove something.

I agree and one can be very ambitious and great at their work but never break six figures due to where they are in the country, or the industry even (education comes to mind in many cases) so while I think it’s fair she shares her experience, it does seem a little pompous to say in that way. I have only watched a few but it seems she’s trying to prove something, maybe against allegations that she has a shopping problem and make sure we all know she can “more than afford it”.

a new YouTuber to me, Haya Glamazon, i thought would be worth sharing here. She has interesting videos and talks about luxury and fashion news/history without a lot of the pomp of sponsored ads or unboxing. I believe she is located in Tanzania too so it’s really cool to learn about the way luxury is seen and acquired there. I like her low key approach and I appreciate that she has her own business but does YouTube for fun. I’ve definitely learned from her videos and had some good laughs (she regularly shared snarky reviews about things like Hermes but also sheds light into how things work and why one may have differing experiences)

Hellocatwalkcity was someone I used to like, but I've really been finding her insufferable lately. Very holier than thou and "oooh I'm an aspiring MINIMALIST and I've never been in debt in my life but also I'm SO relatable!! Buy these cheap chains I'm peddling."

She made this whole big deal about not buying anymore Chanel and then unboxed more Chanel like two weeks later...

Another person I used to kind of like and now can't stand is Jessiestyle. I have never before seen someone so thoroughly embody chaos. She's got an incredible shopping addiction, buying a bunch of beautiful bags and then selling them barely a few weeks later to fund the next purchase cycle of buy and sell. She literally had a Kelly 28 last year, sold it and made a whole video on why the Kelly 28 isn't a great bag for her (too big, the "arms" were fiddly, too expensive)... and now she's talking all about how a vintage Kelly 28 is her "dream bag."

Agree on the buy-sell cycle-- I just saw a video of Jessiestyle pop up on my feed, she had just sold all her LV bags and was already thinking about a new one she might buy in the future.
