This is the most privileged white girl shit I have ever heard IN MY LIFE. Who the fuck is she relating to when she says shit like this? It is SUCH an alienating statement that applies to only a very very small group of people. I would even go so far as to say that Elle herself isn’t even a part of this small group she is trying to appeal to. She’s a fucking poser, especially if the Snoo was gifted to her. You believe in the product? Then I want to know if you believed in it enough to spend your OWN hard-earned money on it.

So this, to me, is the root of Elle’s failure.
Honestly, YouTube has become a platform for MOSTLY teens. Am I over 30 and watching? Yeah. Occasionally. Does my 30+ husband watch woodworking/landscaping videos from time to time? Yep. But our 15 year old nieces watch HOURS every day. They plan around when their fav YTers are posting new vids, so they can watch instantly. They watch family vloggers like Jessfam (a previously teen mom - so relatable I guess?). The watch YT when eating, doing their makeup, doing HW, constantly. They are the primary consumers.
The majority of regular, consistent views are coming from teens.
Elle is hardly relatable to moms in their 20-30-40s (because we aren’t all as affluent as her
) and is especially not relatable to teens. Moreover, she doesn’t offer anything exciting or sensational for teens (she’s not crazy stupid rich, she doesn’t have crazy clickbait life, she doesn’t have a scary number of kids, she hasn’t lost a child through terrible tragedy, etc). So while she may get a menial amount of views from moms/women like us here in the forum + her crazy obsessed fans ... she will never “blow up” and reach real YT fame.
Even her viral video was only viral because it was a single sensational moment in her life. Even teens will watch that. Overall, her life ISNT exciting, she isn’t a specialist or expert in any area to share/teach.
She is a privileged, boring, old (to most of YT), white girl. She’s basic and comes across as desperate (for attention, validation, & $$)
!! That doesn’t mean that older, “real” moms can’t have a successful social media career. But she has to be genuine and stop trying to play to the YT algorithm - it isn’t meant for her! — and accept that she can have a smaller, successful channel/brand.
