Hmm. On the one hand, I really don't like to hate on youtubers unless they've done/said concrete things I can point to and be like, "That is shitty." And I can't really think of anything like that with Chelsea, that I'm aware of.

But there is something about her whole vibe that's been subtly putting me off for a while now. So idk, I guess maybe I kind of agree with you. OTOH, maybe this is just one of those cases where I need to accept that her content isn't for me. Just because she makes budgeting and finances content doesn't mean her content is for working class people like me. Like, when someone talks about budgeting and saving money, I relate to that because I'm kinda poor and those things are a challenge. But middle and upper-middle-class people also care about their budgets and their savings, and I think it's pretty clear that those are the people TFD's content is really for.

OP

I don't know if you saw TFD's video/rant on LuLaRich. She took umbrage at former distributors' actions (to keep people away for MLM companies) and felt they needed to be "taken to the mat" for being with LuLaRoe in the first place. And when I looked at the comments section I did see that I had to scroll a while to find any comments that disagreed with even part of the video.

Yes, this. I followed TFD for a while a few years back and some of the content was pretty good and totally relatable to me at the time, but after a while I noticed that they leaned more toward the upper-middle class and I was like:
"yeah... this stuff about managing savings with investments and buying a house and blablablah is all good and onformative, but I've got less that 2000$ to my name and I don't even live in the USA. Cannot deal with this" /unsubbed

I don't think Chelsea is tone deaf, I think that I'm just not her target. And that's fine. I still appreciate her as a content creator (I know NOTHING about her personal life etc and I don't care so who knows? maybe she's a shitty person or tone deaf, but I didn't get that vibe at all. She seemed pretty inclusive and a good hearted person), but I'm not following her anymore.
