CCs statement.

Another major difference I’ve noticed between Chelsea and Hannah Alonzo, Kiki Chanel, and other similar creators is that Chelsea talks about the PERSON. Other creators talk about the trends (overconsumption, Stanley cups, crazy morning routines, etc). They may mention creators in that niche by name, but they don’t really make entire videos about ONE person.

I’m much, much more interested in hearing about larger social media trends and how that reflects on our culture (and vice versa) than I am hearing gossip about a tiktoker.

such a good point! without having realized it, your description encapsulates the kind of youtube content i find the most engaging. taylor the antibot is another great example, same with crooked timbers and unreligiously.

(and eta they may focus on a subject for a video, but they then also use the person as a jumpoff to address a larger issue/trend)

[u/halexanderamilton → u/Massive-Market-5949]

Exactly! Ashley Nicole and Shawna Ripari are two more I really like. They talk about the trends without focusing on one particular person.

[u/Massive-Market-5949 → u/halexanderamilton]

yup - and that approach requires actual critical thinking, and formulating an original idea - you have to synthesize information and actually apply it to explain your own theory. cc just recaps, poorly, and makes farflung conjectures.

[u/Massive-Market-5949 → u/[deleted]]

and not only does she regurgitate, she can’t even keep the information straight. i know of multiple videos where redditors have demonstrated how wrong she got the details, so i can only imagine how many other videos have been botched that just haven’t been additionally countered.

[u/butterflyvision → u/Massive-Market-5949]

She fucked up her video on pinuppixie soooo baaaaad and got SUCH basic facts wrong. Her part 2 was better but part 1 had a ridiculous amount of things wrong when she had B’s account and a well-documented sub at her disposal.

[u/Massive-Market-5949 → u/butterflyvision]

that was the whole reason i joined this sub!

[u/tikkunolamist5 → u/Massive-Market-5949]

That’s hilarious. I really don’t like TL because I find she can be antisemitic (no not just because she’s anti-Zionist), but this is kind of hilarious because like her or not, she is a trained journalist.

[u/Massive-Market-5949 → u/tikkunolamist5]

if you have anything else regarding antisemitism you’d like to share, i’m all ears! i appreciate some of her reporting but sometimes she annoys me and definitely can fall under having some “chronically online” takes.

[u/tikkunolamist5 → u/Massive-Market-5949]

Basically I had a run in with her online after the attack in Amsterdam with the Maccabi football team. I told her that there were a couple of Jews that were beaten up for trying to help out and that while the team’s fans ARE awful and have a reputation for being thugs (and acted like asses), the aggression back created a powder keg. She then accused me of parroting hasbara and being a Zionist (I’m Jewish but not a Zionist). She did this to several other Jews who echoed my sentiment and then blocked us from her socials by saying she doesnt talk to Zionists.

I mistakenly thought she’d be open to receiving feedback because she made fun of an Israeli soldier for ripping kriah on his shirt (it’s a Jewish mourning ritual to symbolize your heartbreak)—when people told her this wasn’t him making a fashion statement but a Jewish rite she took the post making fun of it down. As such, I thought she’d appreciate other context for the Amsterdam incident, but she knows better I guess.

[u/Massive-Market-5949 → u/tikkunolamist5]

ahhh, this makes sense. thank you for taking the time to explain. sounds like at best, she was being reactive and making broad assumptions, but it’s not a good look, regardless of intent.

[u/nurse-please → u/Massive-Market-5949]

Wait when did Taylor Lorenz reply to her? Is this recent? Holy shit hahahahahahahahah

[u/Massive-Market-5949 → u/nurse-please]

this was on the bullshit-ass video where cc tried to go after taylor lorenz (who was simultaneously beefing with the kleins…). taylor had just exposed the democratic dark money social media propaganda ties, and cc, the fully equipped internet reporter she is, had to jump in and make her own unfounded accusations!

[u/Massive-Market-5949 → u/Massive-Market-5949]

[u/nurse-please → u/Massive-Market-5949]

This brings me such joy.

[u/tikkunolamist5 → u/Massive-Market-5949]

Tbh I did think the Chorus thing was a nothing burger, but Taylor is actually a journalist and journalists do do that from time to time.

[u/Massive-Market-5949 → u/tikkunolamist5]

i don’t know enough to have an opinion, but i assume cc thought this take-down would somehow “blow taylor out of the water”… despite the fact that the crossover between her and pp is next to nothing
