I've been reading this thread for a long while and I finally decided to give my two cents on Chantal... I don't understand her, she's got way too many issues. I personally like to watch mukbangs, I get the concept, but Chantal I feel is one of those people who ruin it for everyone, she's just a fat chick who wants an excuse to be fat and eat like crazy and to not have a real job. Has anyone noticed that she keeps saying that she's looking for a job, but then claims to make 3k a month from YouTube? (She said it in a live stream once) she's making it impossible for even her long term subs to stick around, she's taking everyone on a roller coaster and she's going to end up like Amberlynn soon... I wonder what happened to her gym membership she claimed to have, she probably went once just to do that one video on the weight loss channel that no longer exists. What is the kicker though is that her having these channels are literally feeding her addiction to food, and all of these people saying "yeah fuck the haters eat what you want" are enabling her. I'm surprised she doesn't do feedee porn with how she acts and presents herself.
What chantal fails to realize is that when you make it so explicitly clear that you are using Youtube as a job and/or expect it to be a job, your viewers start to (correctly) expect things. They expect you not to make overly clickbait vids that you never follow up on like "I'm doing a one week water fast!" or "end of Mukbangs". They expect you not to lie on camera and to have a fairly professional video setup: decent camera, decent lighting, good backdrop, regular upload schedule.
She's naive in that she expects Youtube to be a job with no drawbacks. Bitch, everybody knows any job has drawbacks. It might be a good job overall, but find me one without any downsides. So when she bitches about people disagreeing with her nutrition or leaving "mean" comments all she is doing is projecting her own stupidity and naivety onto her channel and more "haters" will show up.
Like most of us do in a new situation, chantal put up a good charade for a minute. If you look at her first mukbangs there is a sort of fun personality there. She's self deprecating and you can relate to her struggles with weight and empathize. But after awhile, as you see her get more comfie, too comfie really, the charade ends and she starts to show her real self more and take offense more easily. You can see that in her video from this morning where she's basically telling her viewers to "stfu". Like bitch, we pay your bills, LITERALLY. Like our views to your sheckels so YES we can tell you how to do things. We are your boss. You are now a youtuber, full stop. You aren't working. This isn't a side thing, it's your J.O.B. You tell us that constantly, remember?
If you don't like your job, quit!
Like AL, Chantal is a damaged person that comes from a damaged home. And yet like AL she still has some sort of natural charisma (despite well below average intelligence) that could, with a decent work ethic, lead to a fulfilling life. Like, she's probably not going to create the next Google, but she could you know probably work her way up halfway at some office job. She can type and read and write well enough and use tech. But she'd rather take the easy way out and try and hop on a fad on youtube. She's doomed to failure if her channel is ONLY growing because of mukbangs. If she wants to really commit to Youtube as a job surely she knows this. She can't just eat herself to death on camera.
And she's a big ass girl already. It might be a bit a-log but when you see someone like say Amy Schumer on camera, who probably weights around 200lbs, then you someone like chantal, weighing in at 375, then you see someone like AL clocking in at nearly 500lbs it really fucking hits home how god damn of a fucking fatass you are above 300lbs.
Like JFC girl, Schumer let herself go a bit, but you eat like a fucking starving person every single day! I did some calorie math watching one of her weigh ins and it's staggering how many calories you have to consume to get to 375 lbs. If you assume, generously, that the 5-1 chantal is a normal, healthy weight at 150lbs, she is 225lbs overweight. That is 787,500 extra calories. If you divide that by 365 it means if she gained that weight over the last 10 years she's been eating almost 250 calories over maintenance every single day. And remember: once you get that big, maintenance is 3k to 3.5k calories a day.
That said, break out the popcorn! This next week or so will be good.
