Ayrt
Yes, exactly. I also love her old "how to" noodle video where she actually mentions how long it took her to shoot because between setting up the camera and making sure the angles and focus were correct, the dough kept drying up too much to work with.

I also think it's weird that she gets so much scrutiny for allegedly being "fake" and and actress just because her production value went way up over time. Like... that would be a sign that she did start out small and only developed into more professional videos after getting successful.

And I don't get the criticism that her videos are romanticising farming and rural living. A) she never claimed her videos are a realistic depiction of the daily life of a rural farm worker and b) a lot of what we see her doing still looks like hard work, no matter how pretty it looks. Imo, only people who never had to stoke a fire every time they cook and never planted anything would disagree.

She doesn't have to claim her videos are realistic for some people to misunderstand them as such. And honestly, it doesn't really matter; farming simulator games, for example, are very explicitly fake, and they still get criticized for romanticizing farming and small-town life. Because they do, and so do her videos. Like her video about wool is pretty mountains and quick shots of old-fashioned crafting and conspicuously placed cute baby sheep. It's not about the difficult work of raising animals or the enormous amount of time it takes to make all your clothes from scratch any more than Harvest Moon is going to have you experience total crop failure due to weather or make it hard for your character to fit into town as the newcomer.

And I don't think it's a bad thing to have these fantasies about living in the country and doing pretty crafts and raising your own food! It's normal to wish you had a different, ideal life, and people romanticize city living, too. But you can see why people who do have to live on farming margins, deal with the many hard and dirty jobs that get left out of pastoral fantasies, and have experienced the downsides of living in a small town might get miffed about seeing them over and over.

DA well, yeah, but that's a genre-wide problem.
