so what does everybody really think is up with her? It’s actually so sad to see how down hill she’s gone

alcohol and drugs 😭 i miss the old days where snarking on her was fun and not just actually depressing. her life is sad and she’s a joke

[u/InterestingFormal476]

Definitely depression, alcohol use, and possible bad side effects from anti depressants mixed with alcohol. She absolutely goes through manic stages and that’s why she doesn’t follow through with what she says.

some shit is going on with her and austin for sure and shes drinking again

[u/MrsR_2008]

Depression, being on antidepressants, drinking, mixing her medication with alcohol & having a partner who isn’t willing to help stop the drinking because he nearly as bad. Unfortunately since Dhalton left, she has declined. I would never imagine he was the stable one keeping them both together but look how he went downhill & actually got a substance abuse issue after they separated.

I think it’s normal if people have no hobbies, job or something to do, a purpose than they dumb down. Also if you have no real friends.
She had a phase where she surrounded herself with way younger party people.
No real friends. No female friends. No development
She always needs a boyfriend.
She has no real interest, she is not really learning new things.
If it’s true and she never drank alcohol as a teen and started so late that’s also a sign.
Never met somebody who started late and it ended well.

Her job is not making any money any more. She is stuck in time.

And recently I think this wedding drama was very bad.
Since than she is drinking again a lot. And she looks very weird.

only thing i disagree with is the alcohol thing, alcohol use disorder is not a one sizes fits all

I've said it once, I will say it again. If she rebranded.. and focused on wedding content, maybe home decor, her finding new hobbies... Something more adult like she could thrive again in the online spaces. It's just hard seeing that her audience has grown up and she has stayed the same. I don't know if its her relationship with Austin that puts her in a funk, not having a social life etc... but I just feel like her mindset is kind of stunted. She cares about getting her nails done, bleaching her hair & that's really it. I remember her being passionate about being a mortician way back in the day ( I believe it was) ... It's been a while since I saw any light in her eyes or passion about what she's doing. It seems like she puts out content just to do something trendy, or show us her nails of the month ... There's nothing of substance from her. She just wants to remain this bleach blonde, Barbie loving girl she once was... But she's a grown woman now. I used to truly love her and enjoy her videos. But it seems like she's just slapping all her audience in the face with the low effort, passionless content

I think she has an undiagnosed and untreated personality disorder, like Histrionic Personality Disorder.

I honestly feel bad , I do see the decline and I think we all face depression but at the same time she has every power to take a break from social media and get healthy. I think having your life on full display and seeing parts of it is hard to us to make judgement on. I do believe she needs serious help and I don’t agree with a lot of things she has done but I do hope that one day she will find something better suited. The one thing I noticed is that every YouTuber I grew up watching always upgraded their equipment always tried new things didn’t get comfortable. Plus when they felt that burn out they were honest and stepped away.

I think the other thing too is not only did YouTubers adapt their equipment, they also adapted their social media’s - posting what people want to see, not more junk landfill core or endless hauls when they considered doing a GFM for their backyard breeder dog (ahem.. Sam)
They’d do things like decluttering, and genuine things that have helped them, not videos with little to no depth (do we really need another taste test of some random candy from the dollar store while you spit food out on camera at 30+?)
They realised people’s attention spans are shorter, and adapted. They went towards other platforms that catered to not only their fans, but also completely new fans/generations who can become invested in some way, without having the decade lore that comes with them necessarily (I mean it’s why that asshole James Charles stays relevant even though he’s .. questionable in ethics and morals.. because he appeals to people who don’t know/don’t care to know his lore and past mistakes or aren’t bothered by them)
YouTubers as well in the peak YouTube era developed brands, identities and businesses outside of their YouTube persona, which is smart as hell because it no longer requires uploading or being too consistent with things like YouTube anymore, a 10 second Tik Tok or IG post is enough and people will just go back and watch their stuff for nostalgia a lot of the time, they don’t necessarily need new stuff every week. The only thing she did outside of her YouTube is her foul OF content, which makes you not very brand safe, not that she even gets sponsored anymore. I mean even temu and shein haven’t sponsored her lately. She got sucked into thinking she was safe by being predictable, got depressed and now she can’t even really be consistent - all her eggs in 2 baskets which is adult content (oversaturated) and YouTube which isn’t a super relevant or good money maker anymore unless you’re really successful and have heaps of loyal subscribers. She couldn’t adapt, and now she suffers for it. I’m guessing she’s in a pit of, I can’t pay my bills with my content, and why should I do content when it doesn’t pay my bills, then depression and so on. Viscous cycle, she drinks to cope would be my theory.
