Jenny is back? Omg omg omg
She never left long video just take big time
She has a patreon where she does a 30ish minute, low effort video each month with a backlog of like 80 videos if you want more
Oh goodness me, my heart.
Some could easily be main channel videos too. Peter Pandom perhaps being the ultimate example.
She has another channel?
I'm so sad I never got to visit because the advertisements make it seem so neat! A hotel, themed liked Star Wars! Actors! Space stuff! Story!
But for those prices, my extremely broke ass was never going. Maybe at the prices she said they should be I could have saved very slowly, or gotten lucky with discounts, but no.
Also if it had just stopped working like everything did for Jenny? At those prices???? Miserable, horrible!
It's such a train wreck, and it must have been obvious to a lot of the people working on it that it was going to be a train wreck.
I can really only imagine that this was the product of a corporate yes-man culture, where critical voices get sidelined or eliminated and the solution to every problem is to just throw money at it (but not too much money, just enough to make it look passable).

Having worked with a bunch of egotistical rich folks (of which there are so many and you won't see them on the news), they see this as research. I used to believe in fighting to do the right thing, but they aren't going to have it. I see a trainwreck and rich CEO is going to push it no matter what. All I can do is brace for impact, ride the wave, keep people employed and take the money, all while knowing it will fail.
Heck, you see it all the time. The VR worlds, the tone-deaf games, the hardware nobody asked for, the shitty movies.
I only got 1.5 hours into this, and holy shit it's a mess. I can't imagine spending that kind of money on something like that.
So I was wondering what you mean when you say you only made it 1.5 hours in. Then I clicked the link.
The video is 4 FUCKING HOURS LONG?!
I’m not watching that, what the fuck kind of Zach Snyder arrogance is thinking 4 hours is a reasonable time commitment for a topic like this.
She put the work in and there's so much of her dry humour throughout it kills me. I am watching in installments though.
I saw the whole damn thing in one night, but I had nothing else to do, sitting on standby keeping an eye on my old sleeping cat, he just started medical treatment and the good news seems to be that it's working and the side effects are not too bad.
But yeah, your post gave me something perfect to pass the time with during the wee hours.
That's kind of Jenny's style though: long-form, ridiculously detailed discussion of a particular topic. Her fans seem to enjoy it, and if you treat it like a podcast to be listened to in the background while you do other stuff it's tolerable.
I can't imagine sitting down for 4+ hours to intently watch someone talk into a camera.
Perfect knitting content
Oh relax. It's free entertainment. She doesn't owe you specifically anything. For all it matters, she could have made a 10 hour video of a cat meowing, and she would have been allowed to do so with or without your approval.
not arrogance if you can back it up
I love how Disney would rather shut it down than drop price.
She talks about the reason. It's impossible for them to either open as a "regular" hotel, drop price or increase the number of rooms. It was made specifically with this experience type of stay, it's in the middle of nowhere, etc.
Finished the video a good indictment of Disney and good call-out to the sustainable ongoing french space hotel. I guess that is where I need to go for this experience
The one in Futuroscope? I've been hearing about that place since I was a kid but still didn't go, and now probably best to wait a few years until the kid can actually take it in.
