Re: Vintagely-Tacky Cora Diane Part 2
She happened to start at the same time as the most popular gurus, but she never really hit a peak the way the others did. Her videos were good then. Free PR and sponsored content really did a number on some of these OG youtubers. Now they depend on it instead of thinking of original ideas. She's basically a salesman now, and it's not fun to watch. It's also not fun to watch people who aren't progressing in life.

I think she looks so tired and worn-out in this picture, but she's made it her YT and IG avatar and must think it looks good:

Is she joking? Tell me she's joking...

Re: Vintagely-Tacky Cora Diane Part 2
Sounds like she’s hinting at either a Stitch Fix sponsored video or a poor excuse for a jewelry haul. Either way, no thanks.
Re: Vintagely-Tacky Cora Diane Part 2
I think I already bitched about this in here but she actually admitted a few weeks ago that she WILL NOT make youtube videos unless they're sponsored. That still irks me. She could at least lie about it like Tati does.
And can you just imagine her waddling her big ass into these beauty stores and begging them for free products to make videos on? And them just looking at her like she's a nutcase?

Re: Vintagely-Tacky Cora Diane Part 2
I haven’t watched any of her recent video but has she said what she’ll do for money otherwise? Like you said, I can’t imagine she’s all that attractive to sponsors (in a business sense) since she has a fairly small following. Yes she has 350k subs but only gets like 1500 views a day, over all of her videos. Social blade predicts she’s marking less than $0.50 a day, and they’re usually a high end estimate. Also, who would trust her now that she’s said every single video will be sponsored or it won’t happen.Lori1985 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 12, 2019 3:59 amI think I already bitched about this in here but she actually admitted a few weeks ago that she WILL NOT make youtube videos unless they're sponsored.

Mikey can’t be making enough money to fully sustain them being a janitor. It’s been said before but they definitely need more income or to move out of the city. That’s just such a tiny place for two very large people to spend the rest of their lives.
Re: Vintagely-Tacky Cora Diane Part 2
I don't know what they are doing. She sells a lot of her used stuff and is still making sponsored videos for things that have nothing to do with her channel. And she doesn't even give them unique titles. Her last clothing sale video had the same title as 10 other people. I wonder if that was part of the contract to name it that? Had to be, they all can't be that lazy.
What she needs to do is invest in some shitty cheap makeup like ELF, Colourpop etc... and do hauls, reviews, and tutorials on the cheap stuff. Those are the highest viewed videos and she won't go broke buying the stuff. I don't understand why she doesn't just do what built her channel to be what it once was. She can do a second channel for her other 'creative' crap like that Kristie chick does.

Re: Vintagely-Tacky Cora Diane Part 2
I agree, there's plenty of more affordable makeup she could be making videos about. She could easily get on the ColourPop PR list - they have plenty of people with less of a following than she has. Problem is, she doesn't ever make makeup vids anymore so these companies are probably like "why bother with her?" They want people that are making constant makeup content.

Re: Vintagely-Tacky Cora Diane Part 2
She would’ve done amazing tutorials with Colour Pop back in the early days of her channel but now she’d just do some lazy swatches and a rambly review. It’s too bad. I’d actually tune in if she did a serious take on their palette.LiddlePallid wrote: ↑Sat Jul 13, 2019 3:40 pmI agree, there's plenty of more affordable makeup she could be making videos about.

Re: Vintagely-Tacky Cora Diane Part 2
They release a new palette like every other week. Their palettes are like $12-$15. She could have done a series on her channel where she reviews each one when it comes out, but she doesn't want to do any reviews unless she gets the shit for free? Definitely not the way to be when it comes to reviewing shit lmao.

Re: Vintagely-Tacky Cora Diane Part 2
"I deserve a little something since i havent bought any makeup!" Buys 2 lisa Eldridge lipsticks. Proceeds to justify the hell out her purchase.
Me:*checking her social blade stats* okie, dokie. Hope the came out of your "Experience Jar"...
Seriously, Cora, your awkward kissie twitches on close ups freak me out. It looks like you have a tic.

Re: Vintagely-Tacky Cora Diane Part 2
It says on her patreon blurb that she's going back to school in the fall. I think this is a good thing, but I wonder what she's planning on studying. Hopefully she's realizing that YT isn't going to work out in the long run the way she's been doing it.

Re: Vintagely-Tacky Cora Diane Part 2
When your Patreon banner says “I’ll send nudes” instead of “I do makeup.” Yikes. Also, why would anyone donate to see a manic video about Thread Up or whatever sponsored nonsense she’s shilling this week?

Did she photoshop out her nip in that photo? It looks unusual.
Also her standard pledge is $10/month. That is out of touch with reality unless she is sending nudes.

Re: Vintagely-Tacky Cora Diane Part 2
That drugstore concealer was boring as hell. They all looked like calamine lotion on her skin, all of them were way to pink. The close up of her skin was not treat, and she stretched that video out by talking too much and spending so much time rubbing those concealers into her face. No girl, no.

Re: Vintagely-Tacky Cora Diane Part 2
I see she changed the banner on her Patreon and is up to a whopping $27 a month with 3 whole patrons. Wonder if she realizes her chance at relevance is long gone.

Re: Vintagely-Tacky Cora Diane Part 2
She's literally just reposting her videos on patreon as she publishes them.
...and does weird sloppy makeup looks.

Re: Vintagely-Tacky Cora Diane Part 2
So, she's realised that she needs to go back to doing beauty tutorials? ....She'll make her mind up. I am NOT paying $27 a month to watch someone do make up tutorials when I can see millions of them online for FREE! Besides which, I'm paying the equivalent of $22 a month for youtube premium.
She says she feels 'unappreciated' on youtube .....maybe because people subscribed to you for your make up tutorials Cora and all viewers got in return were plus sized clothing videos......
When you factor in all the costs for monthly entertainment in addition to youtube premium - like Netflix and amazon prime ....it starts to become costly. Cora is out of touch with reality

Re: Vintagely-Tacky Cora Diane Part 2
It's very sad that Cora is blaming other people instead of looking inward. I stopped watching her regularly years ago when it became obvious that her interest in improving her health was not sincere. She has a lot of potential but she never follows through. If she's unhappy with the amount of money she makes off of YouTube, she can get a job!
Ten years from now she and Mikey will probably still be in that small apartment putting their spare change in a piggy bank as their only real form of 'savings.'
