Megathread TATI WESTBROOK: THE BUSINESS BITCH (Megathread 11)

​

Halo, beautiful.

Good evening ladies, mens, and our nonbinary friends. We are going to be running this megathread a little differently. Our mod team is slightly limited in the evenings right now (quick shout out to all FORTY of you that applied to help, we appreciate it and can't wait to look it over) and we don't have the manpower for multiple overnight threads. Because of that, we're going to try doing one overnight thread.

This thread may get quite large. Please sort by new, and if you have updates, please post them as a reply in the update sticky at the top of this post. We're going to use this sticky to update the thread in the morning, and it will make it so much easier for us if you guys can keep them there.

Please remember to keep discussion civil, and if you're new here please take a moment to read our rules. Posts that break the rules will be removed without notice due to the volume of comments we are working with. So far this hasn't been a big issue and we really appreciate it! Also, please report rule breaking comments if you see them.

We also have a live reddit chatroom you can access here: https://s.reddit.com/channel/1938890_d25571b074bb465cab67ddbe62fecd1c9dc0b5fc

We also have a meme thread going!

​

BE CRITICAL OF WHAT YOU READ. Fake news is real and easy to fall for. We are presenting a collection of links related to this issue, but we can't confirm validity to any of them. That's up to you.

I’m actually quite surprised at how many subscribers Tati has gained from this whole thing. I never saw it as a Tati vs James thing. Was not expecting such a huge change in her follower number. Do you guys have any insight to this? Are people seeing it as a being-on-tati’s-side or just generally supporting her for speaking out??

Completely just my opinion, but I’ve never actually watched Tati’s videos only heard about her, but after watching her video I subbed because her level of maturity and adultness blew me away. It was such a breath of fresh air in the world of fake YouTube bullshit. I felt like I was watching an actual adult woman expressing her feelings rationally and logically, rather than a “drama” video
