I like ones that are a mix of the two the bestā¦ like, you can talk about your personal opinions and experiences with the subject while you film the subject, not yourself. Sometimes I donāt necessarily want in depth video of the actual subject (because spoilers) or its not allowed, and thatās when you turn the camera on yourself.
In addition to @mammoth_club on instagram they each have their own @molly_mcawesome and @just_alan91, so does their friend @mrduckfist whose name is Max. They all met while working at WDW.
Do you know what the name of their podcast is?
The only Disney blog I follow is DFB, and while it is highly curated, it never seems fake. It feels like a professional travel show that youād see on TV, but AJās voice is super calming, yet effervescent. Their videos are factual but donāt usually go into the super secret details and cheats. (Thatās why I have TP and this forum!)
And there are no vloggers in their videos - just shots of the parks, restaurants, etc. I donāt really like seeing influencers in park videos. They all kind of annoy me. Iād probably feel the same way about AJ if she was on screen.
Not all bloggers are bad.
so, are you admitting something here?
According to discord itās zetus-lapetus and will start 8/15. They are watching all the DCOMs in order and talking about them. Itās not something weāre interested in but I did try searching it for you and itās not out yet. Here are the content schedules from their discord server.
I think itās easiest to follow them @mammoth_club on instagram they are pretty good about using it as a hub of information. I have used discord for games so I did follow them there but mostly just to get content information notifications. Itās too overwhelming otherwise. In the bio for the club there is a linktree that has all the things but no podcast yet because it isnāt out yet (at least thatās my take). Weāre mostly YouTube and some of the streaming. That is on Maxās twitch and has recordings from the past 30 days. Check out the launch party videos. And if the Oreo tasting one is still up itās a fun too. Hope some of this helps.
Thatās super helpful thanks! I tried discord and it completely overwhelmed my senses.
Didnāt say anything about myself, did I?
You didnāt not though either.
I like Beckyā Gandillonās videos and articles better b/c theyāre based on hard data and analysis. But Mollyās videos, although too touchy-feely and chaotic for my taste, are probably among the better non-techy ones out there, and may appeal to some.
These are aMAZing. Not that she couldnāt pull off a personality-based vlog, but I think itās to her credit that the videos are fact-based and analysis-driven, while being simple enough for anyone to understand.
Understood! Glad I could help! I have enough to read here but I think itās cool they want to make a community, Iāve already got that here ! But the world needs communities, so Iām happy they are doing that. Iām sure many (probably younger) people would prefer discord to this forum, fortunately there is room for both.
Yes, Molly has affiliate links and sponsors but it doesnāt bother me at the moment for a couple reasons 1) they started because people kept asking about her makeup and clothes because she always looks so good in the parks even when it is a bazillion degrees out and 2) she has just walked away from a full time job and without knowing if their gamble would payoff or not. Doing that now takes guts and I donāt begrudge someone bringing in some income. Right now her ads seem focused on Disney themed which makes sense. Iām hoping that means she is being selective. But if I donāt like it then I donāt have to follow her on instagram.
Just the other day I was wondering what happened to Molly. I follow on IG and havenāt seen her for a while. Iām sorry, I donāt care for her former coworkers. Molly has personality, is fun and funny. For the others, it seems like they are trying too hard. Like @Jeff_AZ - AJ is the exception. Her videos are upbeat and professional.
You know, I was just wondering the other day looking at Insta and all the MNSSHP things where she was in the AllEars ones. Now I know!
Yup. Iām neutral about the others. But Molly has something special.
Yeah, thatās a ballsy move. Not great for AllEars, either.
Agree. But DFBās social media presence is click-baity as hell. I hate it.
Totally agree. I just like watching the videos, not so much the social media posts. Though their articles on food can be very thorough.
He is also actually allergic to pine nuts, I believe, and he is color blind. The things you can learn on YouTube videos.
