The worse part is they're hypocrits for their faiths too

Hate to say it but Steven just became unlikeable after Buzzfeed to me. Frankly, I always loved him and Andrew and it's clear Andrew's really bloomed AWAY from Steven, he's still gruff and sassy but he's soo much fun. Watching Steven by himself? Boring

i know you probably get like, a thousand convention requests, but you should come to anime frontier! it’s such a fun con with such unmatched strange energy that i feel needs to be documented, ive never another seen a con with such a weird cult following around its mascot and branding

swell i'm BEGGING you to go to a NASCAR race!!

Still kills me that Miami and Vegas weren't.... Like... The glen, or Indy, or any of our other awesome tracks.

I noticed you dont laugh like you used to. You used bust out at random times, make sure you are taking care of your mental ❤

Your new intro keeps bringing me so much satisfying joy. 😂

Bruh what's up with your likeness being used for suboxone tooth decay lawsuit commercials? Idk if they used AI to recreate you or if you actually did It. If you did what was the experience like? Well I typed that before the ad read....now I feel like you needed the mula lol no shame get your bag, still would like to hear about it.

I really wanted to see what’s in the bag

happy birthday :)

(she's an angry elf)

Nah theres a difference between influencing and copying. She was literally posting the same things after her one after the other. People commenting saying they didnt know they were different people, thats when youve gone too far in my opinion. Have some originality. Tays approach to this was awful though for sure! I dont know if she would even like someone being inspired by her?! Id love it if i could inspire ppl to make art 🩷

Con girl posted a new video I’m back

Putting FUM aside, one thing that stuck out to me in this video is how you shared so many people comment on certain things about you in videos, which like makes sense because it's the Internet being the Internet. But, that sucks so much big time! Like, I never once cared or even thought about your fidgeting in videos. I'm just hear to hear your thoughts and reasoning and research because it's like a podcast for me. I'm so sorry that people are so nitpicky about you like that :( i love your content!!

I went to this Denfur! I had a blast besides the issues they were having that year. 2024 was a lot better!! I tried looking to see if you accidentally captured me, but alas, I was not lol. You aaalllllmost got me at 17:46, I was in that third row! Glad you had a blast! Hope you went to 2024 and enjoyed yourself again~

In defense of people blaming Steven over the other boys: He is the only one who has consistently talked about wanting to increase production value. He is the only one who publically insisted they headquarter themselves in Hollywood proper because "it's where the magic happens" or some crap. He is also the only one who never put one ounce of effort into audience outreach in the whole course of Watcher existing. From all outward appearance, it really does seem like the situation they are in was entirely spearheaded by him and his ego. Sure, Ryan and Shane are the cofounders and likely hold as much sway in the company as Steven even if they no longer hold an official executive title, but it's not that farfetched to believe that Steven managed to smooth talk his way into getting a lot of these decisions pushed through. I'm not trying to absolve the boys or anyone else at the company with any decision-making power of their culpability in this fiasco, but it very much seems like a case of a singular figure who was blessed with the gift of gab taking advantage of his rapport with those around him to get what he wanted.

The craziest part is that she proceeded to take down the reveal video shortly after this and all the other reaction videos were posted. Yet she left the "announcement" video up so it could continue to rack up views without the new viewers being aware of the ruse unless they go digging through the comments. Such obviously malicious behavior, as she's continuing to rack up ad rev off that "announcement" video without having to take any more backlash. It's not even on-beand with the rest of her channel. People keep saying "well if you watch the content she makes on these other channels you'd know this is just what she does!" Really? So people who casually view here content when it gets randomly recommended and then decide to sheck her channel out are meant to spend a bunch of time tracking her activity all over the site? And they claim to not be part of the parasocial group she's talking about lmao

❤

Not really to do with the video but your channel is the one I watch whenever I’m eating dinner in my dorm. I eat alone usually, I’m a freshman and sometimes I get lonely and miss sitting with my family to eat. Your videos feel so personal and unscripted so it makes me feel less alone

Omfg I got unsubscribed >( BUTBIN BACK NOW AND CANT WAIT TO CATCH UP ON VIDs I MISSED

I found them through "Girly Secret" on a cat video on Instagram. Funny conceit and it hits during this absurd political moment, but I prefer supporting musicians who don't use AI.

yes, i will watch a 30 minute video about a convention i had no idea even existed, glory to swell entertainment

I went to the Credo Beauty Summit also, such a fun event! Wish they would have it again!

This man had a restaurant?

When she gets so invested in the con that it becomes "WE should do this thing next time". Amada becoming Beautycon's advisor whether they like it or no.

the MSI battalion laptop is pretty great at a good price, great for mild gaming! not so good for high memory usage ie recording video

My 16 year old self would've been devastated to watch this video back in 2014.

It is truly alarming that these products sell out daily at the store.

This sounds like E3 for straight women.

I thought you were mid 40s. Wtf! You are in your 20s? Wtf! Are you stressed? You doing the botox shit that ages you 20 years? Wtf!

this makes me sad bc I went to Beautycon NYC in 2018 and it was great 😢

zero sploooooooge

27:41 same track mind I was thinking they also make donations available for people with VIP bags who have products in there that they wont necessarily use. So like maybe an option to donate in exchange for your choice of a select list of that variety and shade of product. It would be complex but gift bags dont always come with things we want and it shouldnt go to waste

I will never stop loving the "That's it, that's my intro" intro. Iconic.

Watching this video suddenly reminds me of when Ted Nivison found a billboard that said something like “there is no food in Ohio”. It was an awfully-designed billboard video from years ago

can't believe they couldn't even get some cheap exhibition carpeting lol

If food can last weeks or months before you buy it, and still looks 'fresh', that scares me. (edit, most of the shelf life of a product is spent at the factory, in transit, at the warehouse, and in grocery storage before it gets on the shelf. If it can still last 3 months after all of that and isn't frozen or completely dry like crackers, it's hella preserved)

I go to an anime con every year and the drinks range from $5-$7 for soda to energy drinks, with tbe energy drinks being priced the highest😭😃

please publish ur bag review i want ur thoughts

This looks like it was held in one of those unfinished Chinese apartment buildings.

19:10 - waiting for Swell's swerve into Convention Management once she hits like 40 or so and has all of the experience of everything and will be highly sought after :D

I didn't hear right and for a while I thought she was talking about BootyCon and now I kinda want a con about booties.

I'm pretty sure that there are several actual museums that would have loved to come in and do a pop-up beauty museum with artefacts!

I LOVE THE NEW INTRO IM SO HAPPY TO BE A FAN!

How's she not an event planner....

Bag haul video!!!!

They went with a "concrete" theme to match the faces full of injectable concrete the "gurus" love so much.

I paid around $500 per ticket for the second tier VIP when I first went. I had fun but you had to hike up two sets of super long stairs to get to the VIP lounge and I tried my best to find the "beauty room" that I assume was for pictures, but I never did find it. I loved that there was a coat check in the lounge so I could shop and drop off bags and have a place to just sit and decompress. I wasn't a fan of the fact that a lot of venders weren't set up and ready for shopping when we were let in and only opened right before GA came in so that defeats the whole prepose of early access. My male presenting partner was also mostly ignored, and they had a hard time getting assistance at most of the counters for whatever reason that was. There was no security outside of the location, so I got bombarded by people asking to buy my access bracelet every time I left and came back so that was super irritating. Alot of people were complaining that the only difference in the top and second tier VIP tickets was a two-night stay at a sort of nice hotel with access to the sky bar. It was never mentioned that some of the talent showing up to the CON were also staying there and would be going to an event to the sky lounge, so a bunch of people missed out on that if they simply aren't drinkers. The second time I paid over 1K for the same level ticket when I went by myself. There was so post to be an attendant helping you get in and orient yourself, but they walked off while I was going through security, and I never saw them again so once again I never found whatever that beauty room was. Both times the venders weren't paying attention to VIP attendees with the ability to skip the line and most of the time there was no designated area for us to skip the line, so I ended up standing there asking where I'm so post to go and was mostly ignored when I tried to ask. Once again, a lot of venders weren't even ready to take orders when we got early entry. The VIP lounge had catered food, which was never mentioned, and it was set out I kid you for literally like 15 minuets then all the food was gathered and taken away. The coat check was limited to only bairly hold one bag so I ended up having to leave to drop off my stuff to my hotel so that was super annoying. I feel like I never truly got to enjoy the swag bags because I always saw full size bottles and truly high dollar items like the Clara sonic and what not, but my bag was all samples and travel sizes. I liked getting the $100 in beauty bucks so i was able to buy a second swag bag that came to about a $200 value but the second year there was no swag back in the Beautycon store and I wasn't interested in cheap hoodies and water bottles. After the way they treated Sierra Schultzie and seeing the complete disrespect and non-apology from the owner Moj Mahdara just made me not want to support this even at all anymore. Sierra literally had video proof that she was snubbed the entire time as a creater that was freaking asked to come and Moh had the nerve to go on Instagram live just smiling and laughing at the entire situation. At this point you couldn't pay me to attend.

tbf, at any festival water is going to be $5 or $6 so I can't imagine it would be that different at a convention
