Really bummed by Fleur's comment in response to someone critiquing her Japanese candy video:
+Fantastique Jaques I'm not really sure I understand your feelings here... These videos actually take much longer to set up, film and edit, so it's not taking a break... it's just a different type of vlog! I thought it would be something people would enjoy seeing! There's going to be a variety of different content as part of Vlogmas this year as it's the 4th year in a row I've done it - it's fun to mix it up a bit! x
Her vlogmas last year was by far my fave, but it looks like we won't be getting the same this year. I completely understand that she might get bored of vlogging and want to switch it up a bit, but (unfortunately for her) most of her viewers love her traditional vlogmas videos. It's kind of a bummer when Youtubers become so successful, they can survive on weaker content due to their massively large audience. I know this isn't a traditional job and viewers don't get to hand Fleur assignments, but it's still frustrating.
The more popular a Youtuber becomes, the weaker their content seems to become. Secret projects, fewer videos, amateur books, excessive traveling, sponsored content . . . Fleur used to handle all of this really well, but she's done a really poor job of it this year.
