Being a Disney Influencer

And you don't appear to see the irony of the situation.
Enlighten me.
Edit: I think I see the source of the confusion. I kinda lumped everyone in the “dishonest” category with my introduction of Jenny. To clarify, she was talking about a group of several prominent influencers misrepresenting the value of the Star Wars hotel. She was not at all talking about influencers in general.

Has anyone checked out Some Jerk with a Camera's YouTube videos? They're a decade old, but still hilarious! You can find them all on YouTube.
Why is that a majority (not all) Disney vloggers release a "I'm stressed and need a break" click bait titled video once or twice a year?
Does it play into the algorithm or is it just an egotistical emotional appeal? And don't get me wrong, everybody deserves a break and some time off. But IMO, to have your audience see a new video is posted but it turns out to be an entire 20 minutes of you explaining you're burned out is a bit much.
I've seen vloggers casually mention it during a regular video and I feel that comes off better.
Prince Dev seems to be the most emotional of the lot lol.

I don't come across those but I do find It a little annoying that the vloggers complain about how hot it is in Florida. Like the one dude Ron On The Go is always mentioning temperatures and it's like...my guy...you're in a tropical climate in the smack dab of summer. It's gonna be hot. Here's an idea. Don't go to the parks every single day if it's so hot out.
I think Michael Kay is a perfect example of that. When he moved down there and how it reshaped his view on Disney.

It definitely did change for me. We barely bother with rides these days, unless they are walk-ons. Why would I ever wait even 30 minutes for Pirates or Jungle Cruise when I’ve been on them so many times?
When you first start to learn where everything is, it’s cool. When you know it too well, the wonder comes down a notch.
We still enjoy it, but our approach has changed. After kind of overdoing it in the last year, I think seven or eight times for 2 to 4 nights each, we’re taking a little break.

It would definitely be a shifting relationship, but how the pros and cons weighed out probably depends on the individual person.
There's no way you can get that dopamine rush of novelty and newness when you visit every week, of course. But for some people, it would probably start to feel like a second home or a comforting ritual (I go to my Target and Wegmans multiple times a week and it has not gotten old yet, ha ha.) Not to mention, my guess is that if you're successful you network with other influencers and then you have a new system of dopamine inducing experiences... everyone is buzzing about the new cruise ship and it's an amazing feeling if you make the invite list; you get to see a new ride the first day; you go to the closure of an old one; you've got an awesome idea for a menu item at the next festival and can't wait to film it, etc.

Content creation is definitely a job - posting daily on multiple platforms even with minor editing takes time - especially if you want to optimize for views and monetization

We’ve had this discussion before
It requires no experience, training and the “job” has no professional standards
Tough sell there. And they are being used by corporations for little compensation

So?
Video editing is a job
Photography is a job
On camera host is a job.
If you can do a mix of those 3 good enough that lots of people watch it seems like a job to me.

Most of Those jobs don’t involve hiring yourself in your bedroom.
And some that hit do very well…how many thousands try and just end up delaying their lives? That’s tragic…there’s that one Amish looking kid that’s going no where. People on this forum have talked to him off the record and it’s basically like a 27 living off a free pass and struggling.
That’s not a great life

I have no clue what point you’re trying to make. What jobs are not “delaying” a life?

When you hang around Orlando until you can’t afford it anymore and have to do a hard reset.
You think that’s not happening with a large number of “influencers”?
…if so I got some magic beans to sell you

Is it any different for the hourly CM’s?

not all of them. Some see it as a job and put it in that box.
It’s a lot like boomerang cms…who think it’s a “mission” and make bad choices based on that. It ends usually in frustration. Millions of stories.
Just a reminder: I am 100% pro Disney employee (the oppo on this management)
And I want people to be happy and wise (all evidence here to the contrary
)…just as context to my comments
