I don't agree with Jabrooney or whatever's conclusion. There are 100's of other YouTube videos on the topics that do conclude that she is an industry plant.
I just saw this guy call Phillip DeFranko the nickname Shillup DeFraudo. LOL.
Yeah he is 100% a shill, I would never trust anything he says, or anyone who watches him regularly "for years" either.
So yeah, I found out that the vanlife model type people are travel brand influencers, they all come from Instagram. Somehow they transitioned to YouTube.
But they all have Instagram pages with hundreds of thousands of followers, and tons brand sponsored posts. I think the youtube channel just drives up there followers on IG, which is where they make their real money.

I used to watch her sometimes but haven't in quite awhile... Saw her breezily talk about getting vaxxed in one of her videos. Made me wonder if it was a paid promotion.
Dave 2D also got the Minimal Millennials, and WanderxBus to quit YouTube. He was the guy that exposed the fake vanlifers on YouTube.
All of their brand sponsors pulled their deals with them because, they got labelled as scammers. Their comments were flooded with people calling them scammers.
If you watch that long podcast, skip foreword like 20 minutes, because the beginning is just them talking about cyberbullying in general, the rest is about Dave 2D.
To sum up the the Minimal Millennials (AKA The Matney's, they hand to re-brand): The guy is a douche, the chick is a skank, and they are both narcissistic influencer types.

This makes her a person of interest.

She's actually pretty hot, and a million times more likable than the guy. She's actually the cool one.
Well, I can't really sympathize with these people. I got much worse from adults and kids in real life before the Internet came along.
If you can't stand trolling, maybe being an influencer isn't the right line of work for you.
The chick kinda reminds me of Jennifer from Square Pegs. Except Jennifer didn't have facial piercings, a dozen tattoos, and unkempt eyebrows.

That's absofuckinglutely who she looks like.
Complaining about trolling/bullying on the internet is like sticking an occupied wasp nest between your buttcheeks and getting mad when your asshole gets stung.
Dude, the Janelle vanlife ,and this other one called Wandxr Bus, for sure had a production company behind them. People even found the editor's Linkedin account for the Wandxr Bus vanlife channel.
