Seeing DollTubers criticize a doll to Hell but buy 1 or MORE of it just... it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. 😒

[disbear]

in case you're wondering how I might be doing mentally, this week I've watched 10+ hours of American Girl content on YouTube and bought myself (full grown woman with bills to pay) 7 American Girl books online. Last week I was so British I'd barely even heard of that brand. This week I would literally die for Kirsten Larson. The DollTube pipeline is real.

Today's watching was some dolltubers. I wanted to see what the fuss is about. I only follow Dollsahoy's dress along videos and Barbie's gay best friend (he always talks skin tones and how the facial screening is done) with a humour that works for me.

First up, gotta get this out of the way, IMHO no one does reviews like Toy Box Philosopher and I have yet to see a video reviewer do what she does in photography and text format.

Readmore for length

Half of them don't even convey a sense of scale when what I'm looking for is what the doll looks like in hand or often aren't compared to other lines to contrast. So they might be nice I just have no interest in watching ads for stuff that won't be here for a year.

So I went looking for opinion and current topics like overconsumption.

I didn't like the clawdeena9 video on doll industry changes this year, it was an industry article repackaged without critique with hype added to things that aren't really gossip or that interesting. I haven't enjoyed his other videos either, just not my style and very different tastes in collecting.

I watched multiple The Doll Daddy videos and really enjoyed the anti-hauls. That's a great concept, making a list of stuff you're not going to buy short of a massive price drop and why. The one on overconsumption was painful to watch, it wasn't a critique but a very vulnerable look into his current overconsumption due to grief. It resonated in that it made me want to hand my paypal, ebay and aliexpress logins to a trusted friend for a while 😅. The critique videos were delightfully scathing and he has enough mileage with the companies to be able to say things like this used to be playline standard or this company's track record on well done faces isn't great.

Faery Tales Dolls didn't go into much depth, mostly speaking from the perspective of algorithmic and community pressure to get dolls and review them in a timely manner. Though I do recognise having to pull back from certain communities that blur whether I want something for it's own sake or because it's the thing to have

I've watched the izzyizz doll videos as they came out as they were decently presented and not too long, if a little surface level.

Darling Dollz did a good retrospective on the empty moments before 2016.

Myworld doesn't really work for my tastes, the videos that aren't reviews don't tell me much, same for plastic_hearts.

More tomorrow.

Dolltuber: Hey here is a tutorial on how I did this doll!

Me: cool! I need new techniques

Dolltuber: first sculpt the doll in Blender on your cintiq and use your resin 3d printer to make the parts!

Me: *clicks off*

[sherylmeyer]

gotta love dolltubers posting videos spewing misinformation and straight up lies

this is a smaller dolltuber but still

[lalagoona]

Dolltubers... I can guarantee you that you really don't have to buy dolls that you don't like just because they're on clearance. Especially considering that you will probably resell them less than a week after
