> That's my problem with her. She has clearly identified a problem. Good on her for being so articulate on exactly why the experiences she had sucked so much. But then why does she keep going back for more abuse?

Yeah I totally agree . Her exasperation clashes with the existence of her content. It's like "ludonarrative dissonance" but for YouTube videos. I mean this is very common thing to see, the YouTuber claims to hate having to "subject themselves to more" but they go back for more and more.

That's really my complaint, if she spends so much time being exposed to these issues, surely she should expect it by now? And yet she still acts shocked every time. It's strange

> And then, on top of that, why do people keep watching her FOUR HOUR LONG videos about these issues? SERIOUSLY!? People are spending significantly more time than a single Star Wars movie to watch someone complain about a related theme hotel? What the hell is wrong with these people?! You know what I can do in 4 hours? I can watch 2 Star Wars movies. I can make wash all of my laundry. I can drive to another city, have a drink with a friend, and get back in time to put my kids to bed.

Well, they are entertaining background noise. It's a fun thing to hear her rant about while doing something else. Long video essays are very popular
