Anna is preparing crepes. Subtitles at 4.31 . . . she says the first crap is never any good.

And no Anna, it wasn't Stephanie who paved the way for other chateau YouTubers, it was the Strawbridges.

10.54 product placement . . . their candle front and centre on the kitchen bench while arranging flowers.

I was poised to hit the unsubscribe button on Philipp (with 2p's) and his lovely wife's channel for hosting such nonsense.
But I'm glad I viewed it before taking such an action.
It seems the "show" was a literal FU to the granny pension stealer and her balding baby man-child.
They gave them 2 seconds of screen time (even documenting the late, super late entrance)

Then the Flurries completed the food, the lawn, the flowers...all perfectly without hired help.

At the end of the day they are all cut from the same cloth they are all bleeping grifters. Some just have a bit more class and style than others.

Totally agree. As soon as I see that somebody on Youtube has gone down the grifting route I unsubscribe and move on elsewhere. There are plenty of interesting vloggers out there now, and a lot of them believe (as I do too) that good quality vlogs will, with time, patience and hard work, bring in the subscribers and so bring in an income for them through 'likes' and 'subscribes', and comments to spread the word.

A bit off topic but sort of relevant. I was really angry to see something recently posted by one of our VIPs @M&MsMom on Nicki Positano's thread. I hope they don't mind me sharing it here :):

It was a copy of a message posted on Patreon by Nicki Storey addressed to all her new 'non-paying' members. She seemed surprised that Patreon had changed their rules so that non-payers could join in (even though it would boost her numbers of members and make her seem more popular - good free PR). She seemed annoyed that they could be patrons of hers and yet not pay any money. Her attitude is IMO appalling, and just shows how up-herself she has become.

Here is the message that Nicki had for her new patrons:

In other words: 'you are not getting anything for free from me - you will be ignored unless you send me money' !!

What a nasty piece of work she is. I used to think her a cut above the Fannys of this world: a grifter but with a bit more of a heart. But seeing this message has put her right down to the bottom of the pile for me, competing for the lowest place with Ms Jarvis.

WOW. I used to like her until she showed her true colours as a nasty piece of work.

My pleasure! People over there don't seem to know much of what happens numbers-wise. We are really fortunate to have a lot of voices here who do know the ins and outs of YouTube, Patreon, etc.

duck me. Nasty Natti and AnneMarie are off on yet another jolly boys outing. He has done nothing but set up a new workshop and rearrange a few light fittings for the last 12 months. Good work if you can get it. The whole lot of them are beyond taking the piss now in how little they do.

Yes…and somehow Amaury and Nasty Natti were able to afford to buy a house away from the LaLande dump. Good work…very little to do…and must get paid fairly well, too. 😡

Although not utubers the strawbridges brought chateau ownership to the British public and paid for all their renovations through tv programmes and weddings

And they went to so much trouble bringing their gifts . . . in a polystyrene foam box.
