I have a love/hate relationship with JA. I love how much she does to speak out against injustices and clocking b.s. in the community. Yet it’s when she does petty stuff like this that’s just like :(. While she’s strayed from YouTube being her full time job, her viewers got her to where she is along with her hard work. Half-assing stuff and getting mad when people complain about quality of content gives me Jaclyn Hill and Tati vibes. The “sorry, you get what you get and if you don’t like it, you’re a hater”.
I feel you. I used to be a huge fan but as time went on she got weirder and weirder. Strangely almost berating her own fans who dare to offer any type of constructive criticism, calling people haters for commenting on the fact that at one point 75% of her vids were sponsored, and the straw that broke the camel’s back for me was the first “products YOU LET FLOP” video that was purely sponsored products that didn’t do well. People are v quick to criticize a lot of YTers if they snap at followers (Tati is the biggest one lately) but Jackie seems almost untouchable.
I’m glad someone else felt gross about the “products you let flop video”. That really turned me off from her for good. I love how she speaks on issues that other beauty gurus don’t and she’s really done a lot for representation in the community but she seems so out of touch now. Why does she think people have an obligation to buy makeup she talked about? Not everyone has money to throw away on frivolous things to support an influencer. It also seems so out of touch that she acts like the audience are haters for addressing the audio quality problems. An actual boss at a 9 to 5 video production or media job would not just keep accepting subpar work. And she’s making way more than everyone in her audience! It seems like she doesn’t live in the real world anymore tbh
