Ugh, wish she had never brought up the topic, I go to Jess to get away from all the negativity on YouTube
All I expect from Jess is vlogmas and vlogtober lol
I love her grunge redux look (but not oversize menswear lol), so her Topshop/UO sponsored look books work for me

Re: Sunbeamsjess
People need to relax, not everyone wants to be vegan, it's her life choice... Yeah, maybe she shouldn't have said it is a privilege, but whatever, she is not perfect. I hate that now everyone gets so easily offended.
And that vegan couple channel... I haven't heard from them before, but I think it is ridiculous when people make videos about other youtubers. Just trying to create drama and attention to them. Hopefully Jess will ignore them.
It's like when she used to make christmas and birthday hauls, everyone loved them. But then people complain about how much money everything was worth and so she stopped making hauls because of the criticism she received. Hopefully she doesn't decide to stop making q&a because now people are complaining about that vegan answer. One day she might even stop doing youtube because people are so sensitive now.

Re: Sunbeamsjess
I really hope Jess doesn't engage with that vegan couple on social media, I hope she just drops the topic all together. It's not what her channel is about anyway. I like her because she lives a rarefied lifestyle that's relaxing to watch. I don't want to think about Negative YouTube Topic Veganism when I go to her channel

Re: Sunbeamsjess
Her exams ought to be over by now. Plus Lexie from FashionFilth posted on snapchat yesterday that she was filming for IconUK with Jessie so she ought to be free and filming and editing...
I think what I just don't want to accept is that when she says she's busy she really just means "i'm not feeling youtube anymore" which is totally fine but I think she should address that a bit more. Remember when she was going to go on her gap year and she prefilmed a tonne of videos, that was dedication!

Re: Sunbeamsjess
I think maybe the reason Jess stops making videos for a while, is not because she is busy, but because she might not want her whole life revolve around youtube, at least not yet.
After people getting offended with that vegan topic, I would want to step away for a little while too.
Edit: But since I like her channel, I obviously prefer if she could make videos more often.

Re: Sunbeamsjess
Jess hasn't stopped making videos because of the vegan issue, that's for sure. She's been uploading inconsistently since forever the end of Christmas, and most of the videos she did manage to upload were disappointing. My guess is that she's uninspired and lazy, so she just throws in her "I'm so busy with uni" bullshit because she knows her subscribers will be like awwwhh don't worry we understand and that's it.
Oh and by the way, what the vegan couple do is raise awareness about a freaking serious problem that most people don't seem to understand. So when someone with a large following on YT makes an ignorant comment about veganism, they address it to undo the damage. Saying they are doing it to create drama and attention is plain stupid.

Re: Sunbeamsjess
Well, I agree that Jess uplouds videos very inconsistently, no matter the reason behind it.
And about the vegan couple.. well that's what it seems to me, no matter what the topic is, I think is rude when people make videos about other youtubers, doesn't have to be about veganism, I just believe people can create awareness without the need to mention other youtubers.
Maybe we can agree to disagree. And please respect my opinion, you don't have to say it is stupid.

Re: Sunbeamsjess
Jessie has got so lazy with youtube. I remember when she was on her gap year, she prerecorded loads of videos for while she was away, but nowadays she won't upload anything for weeks at a time and only seems to bother uploading for sponsored videos (which I never bother watching tbh- it feels a bit galling to see someone so well off getting given loads of clothes for free).

Re: Sunbeamsjess
She's lazy AF. I used to think she had good work ethics because of how she applied herself for her As and A levels. But now she's taking naps all day and doing her work at the last minute even though she only goes to school like 3 days a week. All her subscribers must be slobs who are failing if they think she's this hardworking, motivated student. I may not go to Edinburgh but students like her at my uni would be getting Cs consistently. Imagine her in an actual job... oh wait no she said she's not going to be working in any sort of office. Sounds like privilege to me.nymp wrote:Jess hasn't stopped making videos because of the vegan issue, that's for sure.

Re: Sunbeamsjess
tbh I agree with you Parisienne. Normally i'm the first to raise my hand and admit that I'm a complete stan for Jessie but at some point you gotta take the blinkers off and realise that her Youtube hayday was at least a year ago now if not more. I'm more enamoured with her vlog channel now than her main one and that's only active at vlogtober and vlogmas if we can call that active.
As it stands now she's been inactive for almost a month now and I truly don't think this has anything to do with uni workload for one reason that she's done for the year but even for during term time. My uni has way higher contact hours (a minimum of 14 contact hours a week) not to mention that I have an exam period every 8 weeks which always have and always will count towards my final grade at uni.
Even with those hours I still would have the time to do a YT video every week if I had a channel. I know because I'm actually doing a documentary right now for one of my courses and we do an hour long interview every week and edit it in that week ready for our final movie so I know how much time filming and editing takes. Tbh I was actually thinking of starting a youtube channel because I find myself not enjoying watching the more studenty youtubers any more.
I think it's because Zak is kinda busy doing his own thing right now so she is more wary to put up videos with lower quality but even recently she's been with him based on his Insta. They could've been filming a lookbook but I bet you it'll be a sponsored one.
If she's uninspired, done with YT, too busy or whatever the reason is I think she really ought to say something about it on YT or Twitter tbh or her subscriber count will go down in the future.

Re: Sunbeamsjess
She's been "done" with YouTube for a long time now. She keeps her channels up basically for sponsors (UO, Topshop, Armani).
Still, as long as she keeps doing Vlogmas (and maybe/hopefully Vlogtober), it's fine with me. And since I shop UO and Topshop online anyway her sponsored look books for them are actually helpful for me personally.

Re: Sunbeamsjess
As a long time supporter, I'm so disappointed with her this summer. If she "comes back" with ANOTHER Topshop/UO video, I'm going to flip. I'm surprised no one in the comments tell her that it's actually HURTING her credibility and the brands' when all you do is sponsored videos. Sponsored videos are fine but you gotta balance it out with normal videos! People come for the personality and her videos. Look at people like Juicystar07 who died a horrible Youtube death.
I'm sure she's gonna tell us that she got caught up with summer stuff.. then her travels.. and when she comes back from her travels, she's gonna get caught up with returning to uni :/ There is no word from her except that Insta post. If she's not feeling it, I'd rather her just tell us.

Re: Sunbeamsjess
She doesn't respect her subscribers (her lovelies as she calls us) and feels like she doesn't owe us anything despite the fact that we are the reason she gets all those sponsorships to begin with.

Re: Sunbeamsjess
I agree with what all you guys are saying, which is why I was surprised when she said that she's planning on doing youtube full time for a couple of years after she graduates. I always got the impression that she liked youtube being low commitment and just a hobby, if she goes full time I can't see her heart really being in it.
Also, didn't she say she's going on multiple holidays this summer? (South Africa again and I think Japan and Spain- can't be bothered to check) If so I doubt she'll produce much more than a few travel vlogs and some sponsored lookbooks over the summer...
ETA: I also agree she definitely doesn't feel like she owes her followers anything. She never/rarely replies to comments on her videos, despite the fact she's not that big a youtuber.

Re: Sunbeamsjess
She used to reply to comments back when she had fewer subscribers. I kshould now because she replied to my comments atleast twice or thrice like maybe 5 years ago? It was back when Zoe, wasn't an annoying childish girl that she is today. I know that this isn't a Zoella thread but I used to really like two of them because they were a breath of fresh air to me. I thought they were more calm and collected compared to other 'gurus' like ie. Juicystar07 or whoever was popular back then.
Although I'm not surprised of the lack of videos (yet again), I'm still disappointed for the lack of videos from Jessie. She always does this whenever she goes on vacation. I won't be surprised if she only decides to give us an update at the end of August, telling us what she has been upto, and will probably apologize again for the nth time for the lack of videos/update.
On the side note, do you guys know any other Youtubers like her? Someone who has their shit together and doesn't act like in their early teens, (when they're in reality in their twenties.) Like say Niomi?
