I just want to understand from your perspective how can the same exact person have so much personality as a TV news reporter and survive the industry because of the personality, but lacks so much personality after leaving her job?
YouTube is a media outlet as well.
She is an average influencer, let’s be honest. Do you know her in person? Asking out of curiosity, because of the way you write about her.
Also she always said that it’s soooo hard to find a morning news reporter. Because of the crazy working hours and often said how she feels guilty to take a sick leave because of not having enough staff to take over for her. So maybe her boring personality didn’t keep her the job, instead the lack of staff.
No I don't know her in real life. I've never met her. I only follow her online and I found this forum because I also
dislike her new content. But I keep watching hoping she'll realize it and pivot because I think she has loads of potential.
It's very easy to show off your personality when doing something you love. I don't think she's happy doing this. I think she thought it would be different. I think she thought that since she already had a following and was a professional speaker, the transition to full time vlogger would be no biggie. But she hasn't found herself yet. I mean, she can't even figure out what she wants her future to be. She doesn't know where she wants to live, what she wants to do for money (iirc, she said she hasn't ruled out returning to a 9-5), keeps saying they'll "probably" start a family in the future, then mentions 10 years from now, a house she'd like. I don't think she has herself figured out at all. So how are we expecting her to show off her personality in a vlog when she's not even doing anything? As a journalist, she had an assignment, a direction. She got to work and knew this was her story. She told it and sold it or else she wouldn't have lasted as long as she did in those markets. But as a vlogger where its more free form and your life, she's sucking at it. I think part of it is she isn't comfortable with who she is and isn't comfortable putting her life completely out there because she gets a lot of criticism she can't handle. As a vlogger, you have to let go of your inhibitions and just LIVE. Clancy is trying to vlog, but almost in a scripted fashion and it's the same script day after day. I think she's too anxious about really being a vlogger. I hope she comes out of that because I think she has a ton of potential based on not only her reporting vlogs, but also her college vlogs. She should frankly do a channel on finding yourself in your 20s after leaving your career. A couple of other YTers tried that and some had success.
I don't remember her saying it's so hard to find a morning news job. I remember her saying being a morning news reporter was so hard because of the hours and the constant live hits. That's valid, it would be hard. I wouldn't do it, that's for sure. And she doesn't like real news so she had no interest in doing the daytime or nighttime shifts. She wanted to be morning news because of the story topics, but the hours are hard on you. That isn't the same as saying it's hard to find those jobs. I said it before, but I really think she wanted to be like a Katie Couric type on the Today Show or GMA. She had no interest in real news. She wanted to be a host in my opinion or a fluff news reporter where she could have fun rather than a Lester Holt or Tom Brokaw type that did serious news. But she couldn't handle the hours and knew she'd get nowhere if she can't commit to working 3 am - noon or whatever morning shift she had.
And she's right that it would be next to impossible to get someone to cover her shift if she called out sick because she'd be calling out at literally 2 am. I took it as it isn't the lack of staff in general, but the lack of staff able and willing to answer their phone at 2:00 in the morning when they likely went to bed at 11 or 12, get ready and come in prepared to do her job on very little sleep, then stay for their regular shift as is often the case. Maybe that was my interpretation because I also worked in news and I get how it works. The worst shift to call out on is morning reporter/anchor because it's next to impossible for anyone to cover unless you have a backup system worked out where another reporter is always "on call" in case the main reporter calls out. The backup can then go to bed that night assuming they may be called in at 2 am. But I don't know of any station that actually does this. The easiest shift to fill is the nightside (usually 3-11) shift because everyone's already at the station from dayside (9-6) so you can pay them overtime to cover and/or send one home early and ask them to come back at 3. Mornings is a different ballgame.
I am very interested in how this is all going to play out. Zac clearly wants to be with his friends. Clancy doesn't know what she wants. Neither of them seem too happy.
she is completely unreasonable and definitely could've driven Zac to the airport in Florida
