I posted a video from Kiki Chanel a while ago about BetterHelp, and the company has apparently made her take the video down because she was critical of them. And I just saw this on her channel.

And the link she posted is here:

Wow I knew that company sucked azz.. I posted a few times in random YT comments about BetterHelp and my comment got muted as in I can see it but if I log out and log with my work YT account it doesn't show up so they censor any mention that's not positive.

I know Sam from ThoughtsOnTomes was very vocal about how she’d never accept a sponsorship from BetterHelp because as a therapist she thinks they’re a terrible company with not great ethics

Wow, I didn't know some of them did that. But that does tell you a bit about how deep down they know they shouldn't work with that company..

Which makes Hailey Hughes even more suspect because she did accept a sponsorship from them (as a therapist!)

It looks fun and I hope people will enjoy it. I'm a little sceptical because she has an inconsistent posting schedule on youtube for various reasons, so I don't know how she will juggle it with additional content, but I hope it will be different for patrons at least. I will not join but I never paid for Patreon so lol

Agreed. Her tiers and benefits seem fun– an exclusive discord group and podcast. Just hope she can commit to it.

If she's been mentioned here before, I missed it so I wanted to recommend Katey Bellew after stumbling on her channel. She lives in Australia, works as a bookseller, and reads a good mix of genres. What I most appreciate is how well she explains her thoughts on what she reads. That's something I struggle with, so I'm always impressed to find someone who makes it look so effortless.

I've been really enjoying bookish vlogs from Christy Ann Jones the past year or so, catching up to all her stuff.

Everyones hatred of booktubers that yell has been well established but god I HATE when booktubers are really soft spoken and you have to turn your volume up to 100% just to hear them. Whenever I’m wearing headphones and an ad plays on these videos it like deafens me because I had to turn the volume up for high

Like if you’re naturally soft spoken adjust your sound levels when you edit

Jess Owens in her last video complained bookcommunitea vides perform the best, and she doesn't want to be negative all the time, but girl ... most of us started watching you because of that, not because of special editions of books or drama with some tv hosts ... I mean of course those are ok also but that's not why we subscribed in the first place, so when people less watch other videos not related to the news don't be surprised.
And what's wrong with filming videos about book news, it doesn't have to be negative all the time, but informative for people who don't have twitter or tiktok or follow book profiles.

Right like ve real with yourself that how Jess blow up. Like I'm confused you saw and everybody else saw those was your most popular videos and sub was jumping up like crazy.

It's so much suff to talk about in the book community beside the negative, for example book getting Special Edition and when it's going on sale (IG you see stuff from 5 days ago 😒) authors get new deals on a new series or standalone, Book adaptations updates on that. And so much more. I enjoy when she was talking about the publishing strike.
Also don't just talk about YA buy genre all around book
