And women in the workplace, I guess

I've never let my kid watch her stuff because I found the faces and voices she dies in her videos unnerving. I guess it has to do with helping kids comprehend stuff as they're learning? Anyway, I instinctively applied that reaction to generally disliking her. That held for years. Lately, though, I'm happy to say she's been proving my assumptions dead wrong as she actively uses her platform for some good.

Oh her content is actually science backed, I agree it's weird to watch as an adult, but everything is based on speech pathology research to help kids learn.

Yeah my parent has always given me the hard sell on her, but I pushed back based entirely on vibes. All signs point to me being dead wrong, though.

The faces are usually part of teaching young kids how to make the right mouth shapes when saying words I think.

Sucks that my kids missed her, my ex would make them watch blippy for hours on end (despite me complaining about that). She seems so wholesome and genuine and full of love.

Blippy is just a creep. and I'm sure the police should check his computer.

I think there has been like 3 blippies at this point? Their content is straight up ads half the time it would seem.

They are breeding!!!! we got to stop them.

Am I the only one who finds the guy who performed the Harlem Shake on a toilet and defecated on a naked friend a bit creepy on youtube?

No, you're definitely not alone.
