I don’t think either channel works at this point. AllEars needs Molly (or at least someone with a similar presentation style). I actually think their other people are fine too, just need a mix of presenters in my opinion.
But I also think Mammoth club needs a better mix of hosts. Like it’s too much of the same.
One of the things I used to enjoy about AllEars was the fact that there was variety and you heard some differing opinions about things. I miss that.

The joke I tell to bug my wife is, "Man, you can really imagine what it must be like to just toss her down onto a bed, can't you? The way her hair fans out...the little giggles..."
Like someone else said, Mammoth Club is all the same stuff on repeat. Here's the problem as I see it: the Molly we know is a short version of Molly. Yeah, we've seen her dog, she hates Ursula, hates hot dogs, we know all that surface level stuff; but she was never like an actual personable vlogger who could just take us on her unscripted journeys and casually shoot the breeze and just be real. That's why she's tethered to Park content, because that's all this YouTube star "Molly" knows to do. Any deviation from this formula risks pulling back the curtains a bit more, and she can't have that, because I think the ultimate truth of this lady is that she's a jerk.

Hmmm I don’t really get that impression of her . I don’t get that impression from the AllEars crew either. I agree that the tour guide persona is where she’s comfortable on camera, but from their other more casual content, she seems pretty what you see is what you get … I’d be very surprised if she’s hiding some secret diva monster (and yes, I know some people on here said they had less than great interactions with her). It’ll be interesting to see how their content goes in areas where she’s not an expert.
I kind of agree with this tbh. I find her less likable now than I did when she was with AllEars. I don’t really know why but she seems a little entitled and bitchy - but not in a funny way. It’s not all the time but there are bits and pieces of videos that make me feel that way. I also find the over-crying really annoying.
And I’m not saying she’s a bad person, I mean none of us are perfect, but I don’t think she’s that great as a YouTuber aside from being a tour guide.
I agree, I think she's a game show host, not a talk show host.
She was definitely pushed as the host of AllEars, so to a certain extent people will always see her that way. When a singer leaves a band, typically neither they nor the band are ever as successful as when they were together. A quick peek tells me the patreon is down under $30k now. Hopefully they're putting some away.
I think this is a great way to put it! She does park content really well.
When I said she seems bitchy/entitled before I think that was a little too harsh. I just meant she doesn’t seem to have the personality for some of the other stuff. And I’ve said before but I definitely think MC needs to narrow their scope.

I think she comes as self-involved on her Instagram page especially when she gets her minions to dress and look like her.
Three days now and that's all she's posted.
However, one would have to be narcissistic in order to become a vlogger.

... or most any type of social media person. Amazed at how many egocentrics are out there, and they're not all from the US.
Okay, I'm going to go here because it's a question that begs to be answered:
Is Max gay, and if so, is he gay for Alan?
They seem to be very comfortable in close quarters.

I first thought that about Max myself based on very little. Not that it matters, but I just got a he’s stuck in the closet vibe. However, watching his live streams as well as the recent California video, where he surprised Molly by letting her ride the ride she wanted, I get a weird feeling that he is into her. Maybe he wishes he was Alan? People kept asking if they were a throuple when they first launched and they were defensive about it like they are about everything. But hey, people wouldn’t be asking if they weren’t picking up on a vibe.
In terms of branding, it does seem kind of weird that it’s her, her husband, and their friend/adopted kid brother. Back on AllEars she and Alan didn’t even disclose they were married. There’s a lot of Disney vlogger couples already, so it makes sense that they were trying to differentiate themselves, but I still wish she had launched her own channel instead of a “club.”
However, as folks have pointed out above, she is not comfortable making it all about herself on a personal level. They seem to keep coming up against boundaries they have created for themselves; like how they refuse to talk about Alan proposing to her at the park (which would be such a great video by the way). Fair enough, but it feels counterintuitive to the content creation job they have chosen for themselves. Another example, Molly did not disclose even when specifically asked where they stayed in California and cited “safety reasons” like she’s Elon Musk. The Trackers and OA disclosed they would be at Aulani, and I don’t think any crazy fans attacked them while they were there. We also didn’t see anything from Molly’s trip to Atlanta besides the Stranger Things exhibit. She’s clearly not interested in making content that’s not planned/scripted and tour guide oriented, which is disappointing.
So well said!
I think she wanted the perks of being an “influencer” without the burden of sharing real moments from her personal life. Now I know that nothing on social media is “real,” and I’m not asking everyone to share every single moment of their lives, but you at least have to create an impression of openness that endears people to you. The transparency, something they talked a lot about when they launched, is lacking.

I don't even like Molly and I agree she should've been on her own with the other two doing stuff behind the scenes, but they clearly love seeing/hearing themselves on camera.
Maybe they were afraid Max would find out where they were staying in California, lol.
It's kind of odd that they at once don't want people to recognize them but apparently tell people to talk to them. Which is it?
I also think the name is dumb and the whole "club" thing just instantly says to me "We're by default trying to exclude people".
Twitch must not be doing much for them since they still don't have their own Twitch account, I'm guessing Max was all hopped up on it and acted like they HAD to do that.

For me, I don’t care to know anything personal about Molly and the guys. Just give me the information on parks, Disney, resorts, food and drinks, etc. If she talks about / posts on IG something personal fine whatever. But I’m only really watching for the info and not to “be her friend” or “relate.”

Fair enough. I am inclined to agree with you, especially in terms of the kind of content she was offering at AE before she left, which I really enjoyed. I was so excited for them to go to Disneyland because I am planning a trip myself. I was disappointed that the two Disneyland-dedicated videos were dictated by the Twitch draft. For the price you pay to get into a Disney park I don’t think any groups of friends would force each other to eat or do things that they don’t want just for the hilarity. I was especially frustrated that they said they missed the breakfast chimichanga, but didn’t say what time in the morning it actually was, just that it was “before 11.” Was it 10:45? 9:45? Totally not useful. Were they there so late in the morning because Max was coming to meet them from long beach? I also thought it was a missed opportunity to have them all eat the same grilled cheese sandwich at a restaurant that offers so many more things. I expected a long day of filming, rope drop to close. So maybe that’s why I’m frustrated by my inability to “relate” to them on a personal level because I’m not getting the tour guide content I hoped for. I felt like I was a fly on the wall of a group of friends I’m not friends with. The underlying message of all of this is that their branding is a little murky.

I agree that their content and videos are just edited so much that you don't see all the aspects of their trip.
I can tell that Molly is really into creating this image of herself rather than being real.
It's like they're trying to be a brand rather than human which doesn't work well for travel vlogging.

I doubt any of us here are looking to make a vlogger a friend.
Don't you feel the need to watch someone entertaining and who doesn't annoy you? In finding the right person to watch, In addition to content I naturally watch their behaviors to help me decide if they are watchable.
I find the Dis team to be helpful content wise, but I cannot tolerate them, particularly Princess Pete.
I can no longer tolerate Tim Tracker, first because he gets the little info he presents wrong but because he and his wife have no interest in raising their own son... only in using him as a prop for views.

I watch Molly because she doesn’t annoy me and gives me the info I’m interested in. I stopped watching All Ears because of Quincy. I never heard of Dis and Trackers are just home movies.
I don’t really watch YT anymore. I like IG bloggers better because it’s faster / easier to get info.

We're generally very positive about Molly. I'm shocked that she responded with an essay calling us garbage.
And which one of you asked that question?
