Quite frankly Amy's video is unoriginal and rather insulting to other youtubers who struggle to get ahead. There are plenty of talented people on YouTube who can't even make it to 100 subs, let alone 1000, yet she gets way more than even Jess after Mark's plug just because of who she's dating and his fans are just thirsty sheep who want their shipping fetish satisfied and hoping Mark will make an appearance on her channel. At least when Jess was promoted she had more than one video on display and was trying new things. That's the most positive thing I'll say about her videos, but considering she seems to have given up on Youtube and returned to college, it doesn't matter in the long run. Well at least she and her best friend have fancy gaming rigs to play Overwatch with in her spare time thanks to Mark. That's quite a Christmas gift to give your ex. I guess her having a car in your name wasn't enough of an apology.
Granted that's more on YouTube, Mark, and the fans' ends than Amy's that she's getting all this undeserved attention for very little, but it doesn't erase that it's annoying and rather unfair to Youtubers who are passionate and creative who get brushed under the rug due to lack of connections. Especially over one vlog.
As mentioned here already, vlogging is typical. It's also really easy to do with every cell phone coming equipped with a camcorder. It's especially common amongst girlfriends of big Youtubers. For some reason they have to follow this trend of being either vloggers or beauty gurus like Marzia.
That's part of the reason why I am partially disappointed in Wiishu since she got started and caught Jack's attention via her artwork, and yet thus far all her YouTube videos have been vlogs, Q&As, and lately has been including Jack when in her first video she said that she didn't want to be known as just JackSepticEye's girlfriend. Granted they are a cute couple I won't deny that. They bounce off each other naturally with neither party member trying to dominate the conversation, nor are they on the extreme end of either being way too cuddly or avoiding contact like the plague. But it doesn't change the fact that she's got great talent and isn't using it to the best of her abilities, instead falling into a typical Youtuber girl trend.
Random tangent I know, but it applies to Amy too. She goes wandering off to the desert for inspiration, partially due to a push from her "boss", and this is what she comes up with? Rambling in front of a camera? Also bullshit on her being camera shy, I was visibly a nervous wreck the first time I used a webcam, she looks nothing like that nor any time she has been on Mark's livestreams or videos.
Also funny how she's changed her stance on the whole "I don't do YouTubes" when people were speculating whether she was the new editor. Well now you can probably call that a lie since she admitted to somewhat working for her boyfriend, which is rather stupid really since she left a full-time well paying job that she got right out of college for that. Nice to know as a proud SJW she allows such a power dynamic to occur where she has to rely on a man to pay her way instead of earning it herself. Also how stupid is Mark for hiring both his girlfriend AND one of her closest friends? Yeah that won't backfire in the slightest. I'm sure Ryan and Matt can attest to that. Why else have they not kept contact with Mark despite following each other on Twitter again?
Actually apart from a few collabs with Bob/Wade/Jack (which BTW some fans still think that Mark and Jack's friendship is over due to Septiplier and have no qualms bullying Septiplier fans over this despite this fact and will even deny that these collabs don't count because it's not Jack and Mark by themselves. Wish I was kidding.) it's just been all about his little "family" these days. What is he trying to make his own knock-off Game Grumps? He's worshipped them, especially Arin, forever. That also must sting a little knowing how he's done shit for them and hung out with them for years, but Ryan and Matt are official Grumps now. Who knows? Maybe there's still a bit of animosity towards Mark after his treatment of them when they were still his editors.
Speaking of editors, not a lot of talk about Kathryn despite all the work she puts out. In fact it seems like most people tend to forget about her in favor of the rest of the group. Especially Amy. She gets blind praise for sitting and doing barely anything on a livestream, but Kathryn edits Mark's work every day and does a ton of shit behind the scenes and barely gets acknowledged? Seems a little unfair.
But what do I know? Apparently I make shit up and am ruining the forums for speaking up for people, right? I'm sure someone is running to anonymously attempt to slander me on a particular Tumblr blog like a childish coward or planning to privately threaten me as soon as they read this post. Nah, there's no one that malicious, right?
As for PAX, considering Amy admitted in her vlog that she still lives in an apartment, likely with Kathryn and her new cat, I doubt anything serious will occur. Surprised they're still living separate despite Mark's recent move since Mark rushed moving in with Jess when they were together and he's with Amy almost all the time these days. Hell she takes way more pictures of Chica than the dog's actual owner. But it would definitely be awkward if all 5 lived under the same roof. Especially since as far as we know, the rest of the "family" is single. Not to be gross here, but intimacy would likely go out the window with 3 other people in the house.
Besides, knowing what I know concerning Mark, he'd have to be pretty desperate to ask that. But that would be telling.
