Radiant Britt – overly nitpicky or simply realistic?

Radiant Britt runs a commentary channel focused on influencers, where she (mostly) critiques mommy vloggers but also calls out problematic behaviors among influencers in general—such as being overly entitled, for example. She’s deeply passionate about dogs and owns one herself. She has frequently called out YouTubers she believes have mistreated their pets.

The severity of the cases she highlights varies widely. For instance, when YouTuber and fraudster Brittany Dawn gave up her dog, which was later found severely emaciated and homeless, Britt’s criticism was completely justified—and I agreed with her 100%. However, she reacted equally strong when it came to YouTuber LoveMeg, who once used regular human shampoo on her dog instead of a dog-specific one. Britt was extremely upset about this. This is just one example of how Radiant Britt can, on the one hand, be completely reasonable, yet on the other hand, become overly fixated on even the smallest mistakes people make.

She has uploaded tons of videos on Gypsy Rose (which I haven’t had the energy to watch), as well as content on the Dougherty Dozen etc. Often, Britt presents well-balanced and fair opinions, but her inconsistency between highlighting serious issues and nitpicking minor infractions can make her commentary feel like a stretch. It sometimes seems like she’s calling people out to spotlight their flaws while presenting herself as morally flawless—someone who, frankly, might be difficult to be close friends with because of how hyper-critical she can be.

I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with Britt—or no, to be fair, I’ve never actually hated her. But I have often found myself frustrated or annoyed when she obsessively focuses on trivial things like, “They put some sugar in the baby food—how awful!” And then there are other videos where I nod along and agree with every single word she says—because she is right, often.

She’s not crazy (despite how the picture on this site might make her look). On the contrary, she’s quite realistic and down-to-earth, which I’ve always appreciated. Still, the way she delivers her opinions could definitely use some rethinking. She often comes across as scolding her viewers—even if that’s not always her intent—and that tone can be off-putting to many.

Marie Dubuque - The original Youtuber since day 1

Image
  Let’s begin this blog with my first favorite of them all—the OG of YouTube, or at least one of them… Marie Dubuque . I think she started her earliest videos around 2011, so she’s been there from the very start. I listened to interviews with her in the past, and she said that she used to give her son unsolicited advice about his life in school with girls etc, and he got tired of it—so he suggested she start a YouTube channel to help people there instead. She did! And she’s been delivering ever since. For those of you who don’t know, she’s someone who responds to people’s everyday struggles, usually revolving around all types of relationships, especially friendships and romantic ones. If you searched on YouTube for anything related to those topics, Marie was the one who always popped up—at least in the past (now YouTube is sadly bombarded with young "experts"). What I love about Marie is that she’s in fact older, but she was never afraid to start a YouTube channel. She’s ha...

Reviewbrah – a businessman in sheep’s clothing?

Image
Reviewbrah / The Report Of The Week is a  unique man in a suit who reviews fast food, he began his YouTube career when he was just around 13 or 14 years old. He used to upload one video per week, reviewing things like frozen pizza, Domino’s, Pizza Hut, Burger King, McDonald’s, etc., all from his parents’ home just outside New York city. His popularity grew over time, largely due to his old-fashioned, articulate way of speaking, his signature appearance — always dressed in a suit — and his clever sense of humor. He eventually moved to Florida and continued making tons of food reviews, often filmed in his car in parking lots outside fast food chains. Today, many years later, he has nearly 3 million subscribers. His videos are still very popular, often getting anywhere from 100,000 to over a million views each. However, now approaching 30, he records all of his videos from home and no longer films outside — the days of car reviews in parking lots are long gone. The food he now gets ...

Bryan Johnson – When reassurance seeking goes too far

Image
  I had never heard of Bryan Johnson until I was browsing through Netflix documentaries one day. I started watching the documentary about his life choices, Don´t  Die , and Blueprint , his company. In short, it’s about how he believes he can become immortal by living an extremely regimented, robot-like life — for example, waking up at 5 AM, working out, taking 50 supplements a day (or was it 100?), completely avoiding sunlight, scanning his body, doing all kinds of blood tests, and undergoing a wide range of body treatments. And no, the methods and treatments he tries are far from evidence-based, which means he's basically using himself as a guinea pig — going against everything established medical science stands for. He believes it's entirely possible to live forever, as long as you "do the right things," but in my opinion, he’s more likely to stress his body to death and die prematurely — at least if he continues the way he has so far. One example of when things we...
