Has Lady Colin Campbell blundered and lost YouTube viewers due to talking too much about US politics and Afghanistan?

Once Harry and Meghan started selling themselves as geopolitical experts who have important opinions on Afghanistan, it was just inevitable she would try to pretend she was too.

She hates them, but at some level she also wants to BE them.

Sorry but don't all the Megbots claim that everyone only hates Smugs because they're racist republicans?

Why would Lady C criticising Biden alienate them?

Also, youtube viewer counts are notoriously imprecise. The company famously throttles videos they don't like by failing to recommend it, and by cutting subscriber numbers in half out of the blue. Same with viewing figures. It could well be that youtube itself doesn't like this video. There's no certain way to tell. That's why a bunch of youtubers are lodging a class action suit against youtube (I don't have the link but I'll have a look round.

So, using viewing figures is not a great way to guage viewership with a normally popular youtuber. Best thing to do to truly figure out if something is unpopular is to scan the comments and read - and count - those.

Interesting r1 Emotionally there could be some truth in what you are saying but she is a historian I believe so I think her knowledge base will not be just ego and superficial.

r2 Well from what i can make out some Trump supporters misunderstood her views and thought she was criticizing Trump too when she clarified that she wasnt. They acted like hotheads reacting without understanding or thinking.I think there are definitely some american democrat voters among her viewership too.

The sad thing is, the old cunt thinks she's relevant.

I'm not certain what OP means: 100,000 views of a single video on a channel with 129,000 subscribers total is a fantastic showing.

8000 likes vs 168 dislikes is an out-of-this-world ratio, and

3000+ comments below is again, an excellent showing.

Any youtuber would be over the moon with those numbers.

What's the problem?

r6 The numbers for many of her other videos are much higher eg closer to 200,000 upwards. Her channell isnt in danger of withering or not being profitable just yet but she does get plenty of viewers from people who dont subscribe .Who knows maybe even some links on Datalounge have upped her views?!

Really? My LORD I had no idea she was that viral that regularly, r7.

To average 200,000 views on a channel with 129,000 subscribers is quite something in YouTube world.

And yes, r7. when you get a significantly higher number of views than you get of actual subscribers, it usually indicates that the indivual video has gone viral - usually on twitter. This is because people on twitter ( or facebook, or even the DL) can just press play within the social media platform it was reposted on, without the viewer ever having to go to youtube itself (the only way to subscribe to the channel is to go to youtube and press subscribe).

I realize people are sick of Harry and Meghan and need her to discuss sonething else, but politics is the wrong way to go.

I bet gender non-binary types would actually be fascinated to hear her beauty tips and her tales of becoming Lady Colin Camopbell. if anyone has worked harder at fighting the roles she was assigned at birth, it is she. She may have been born into the role of a common non-British boy, but she was damned if she was not going to become an actual British Lady, come hell or high water! Who else has that kind of story to trade on?

I think she's the only one whose commentary ranges outside of the specific topic of the Harkles / BRF. You never see River or PDina wandering off, topically.

Probably because she's older, she's rich, and she's generally opinionated about lots of things.

I still love her (although I can only say that because I put her vids on 1.25x speed!)

r10 river has wondered off a little bit saying comedy is in trouble because of puritanism etc

r8 She has a twitter account but only posts a link to her Youtube posts with little fanfare so it must be fans or her media profile that helps her videos go viral?

r9 I wish she would discuss other royals more and not only in relation to the Harkle saga. She knows all of the Queens cousins and their spouses for example .Not saying they are best friends with her but they know each from previous social events etc .I think she could say a lot more about the beautiful Princess Alexandra, The Duchess of Kent and her conversion to the catholic faith for example , The loyal dignity of the Gloucesters etc . There is stuff there she could cover and be really engaging on. Royal watchers are interested in other family members than Harry and Meghan.

I see what you mean there, except her story is closer to that of a trans person: for her there were only ever two sexes, and (when she suddenly had breasts out of nowhere) she realized that her parents had made the wrong the call.

Her grandmother knew what her parents had done at her birth, and that's why the grandmother paid for the small-snip operation required for her outer female organs to be exposed from underneath the fused skin that was covering up her girl bits.

Not easy to get an ultra-traditional Lebanese-Jamaican-British woman born in the 1900's to immediately understand why Lady C needed the surgery so much as to pay for it, but the fact that her grandmother did it with no questions only testifies to how obvious it was by the point that Lady C was in her teens that she was actually a girl.

Read her book about it - her story is a really interesting one, with lots of fascinating characters from different cultures and periods.

Has Lady Marmalade chimed-in?

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?

r14 Love that song!!

Excellent, excellent song

why do i think OP is Lady CC?

Because you are a bumblefuck thundercunt, r17?

[quote]she is a historian

She is very much NOT a historian.

r18 thanks Lady C

Lady C hates Meghan because she is a Duchess and Lady CC is only a Lady, which she shouldn't still be now she's divorced anyway. Lady CC's venom is fueled by insecurity and jealousy.

She is "AN historian", not 'she is A historian".

'AN' next to 'H' in decent English.

FFS children: Next time you say "hotel", say "An Hotel", not "A hotel"

For the love of CHRIST.

r19 I feel sure she said in some of her videos that she was. I admit I could be mistaken.

r21 Then why isn't she jealous of other duchesses and Princesses? She also has a lot of shade for Prince Harry calling him mentally deficient and emotionally defective. Is that motivated by jealousy over his Prince status?

r17 You seriously think this thread is helpful to Lady C??🤔😄

[quote] Interesting [R1] Emotionally there could be some truth in what you are saying but she is a historian I believe so I think her knowledge base will not be just ego and superficial.

She has no post secondary degree, no formal training. She’s not a historian. She writes trash biographies. Is everyone who publishes gossip a “historian?” Her “knowledge base” is gossip and shit she made up.

Why does anyone take that woman seriously? Oh that’s right she’s a bigot. Bigotry = credibility.

She needs to explain why the condensed Gumbo soup is such crap.

If she is losing viewers it is because her videos are too long and monotonous, and the novelty (at least among Americans) may be wearing off. She probably noticed an uptick in US subscribers recently for whatever reason.

Try River. Her latest from today is linked below. Her videos have a lightness that Lady C lacks, and are about half the length. I find River enormously funny. She gets it. Lady C doesn't.

[quote] [R19] I feel sure she said in some of her videos that she was. I admit I could be mistaken.

She's a gossip writer (born in Jamaica) who married a British "lord" for 9 months, after knowing him for 5 days. You continue to attempt to present her as some sort of legitimate authority. Despite this being pointed out again and again.

r26 Many of her videos show she has a lot of historical knowledge and not just gossip . You are conflating two different things. Yes she's a gossip Yes she has good historical knowledge.

r29 How does her marriage history mean she doesn't have good knowledge, good sources or other comprehensive historical knowledge? It doesn't. You keep reacting to a caricature of her. Her knowledge of European monarchy and the various history's was very clear in her videos about Prince Philip after he died. I repeat you are reacting to a caricature.

Like she, I am a historian and my comprehensive knowledge about her and her "various (oh dear) history's" is very clear.

r32 Have you watched many of her videos?

I am not just responding to the question of is she or isn't she a historian but the claim made that she has nothing to offer but gossip. Like her or loathe her that is simply not true.

There is no question. She's not.

Stop pushing her as some sort of expert. She's your favorite bigoted gossip lady from Youtube.

I have no idea who you are but I haven't contested your credentials but given you are making a claim shecoffers nothing but gossip it isn't unreasonable to establish if you have watched many of her videos r34 Are you sure your not liberally throwing around the word bigoted like confetti at people just for not sharing all your opinions??

No R22 The rule is an before silent h's such as "an hour" but a before voiced h's such as "a hotel"

AN hotel, ignoramus at r36. The correct form is AN hotel.

Does she still have her dick, has she not had bottom surgery yet?

OP< dear, this is DATAlounge not UKlounge. Stop bothering us with hot air from has been on the ghetto side of the pond. Come back when you the latest scoop on Kylie lip kit.

No R37 it is "a hotel" Check the Chicago Manual of Style or any other reference manual.

It always had a shelf life. Interest in the Narkles is waning rapidly.

Lady/Lord Colin is a tedious fascist Tory shill. She holds Eddie and Wally up as an example of how Harry and Megan should behave . Randy Andy is a "victim". Loathes the Obamas but can be racist because she is Jamaican and her family owned many black folks, Has a pathological hatred of any woman whose vagina was not after market and can actually give birth. Did we mention she named her dog after her brother who died of AIDS. Tells you all you need to know. Why don't her mail order Ruskie "sons" do us all a favor and drown the old tranny harridan?

r42 Surely naming her dog after her brother could bexan emotional tribute? If you are assuming it is an insult you are wrong. I know someone who named their dog after a favourite Uncle who had died and it definitely wasn't meant as an insult or motivated by a desire to demean. Not at all. Its unusual but not bad.

Yup r41 things are definitely going in that direction. She will have to evolve a bit. Still saying royally focused in the main but less Meghan and Harry.

George is the luv child of Barbara Cartland and me..

R43 bad taste

r46 Possibly it is bad taste to name a dog after a deceased relative. Possibly not. It's debatable. But malicious. No I think that's a stretch.

^ Calling George a "lady" is not only a stretch it's a fix.

The ole rat bag is obviously a Johnson pony and a Trumper. She's careful to never mention The Formers name. While spending hours back handing the Clintons and Obamas. Always calling out the Chinese for human rights but not a peep about Putin. Probably owes Puty for getting her the two Russian dolts she calls sons. She goes on and on about the "liberals press" attack on the monarch and how Thatcher was the savior of "her class" of people buy cutting their taxes. Truly grotesque. Inside and out.

r49 She has said she thinks Bill Clinton was a good president and George Bush Junior was a poor president.

Her latest video viewer numbers hovering at time of posting at just over 90,000 after more than 24 hours. Thats definitely again much less and slower than previously. If it carries on throughout September then I think it would be difficult to dispute that there is a trend.

It took his Lordship 9 months to figure out his blushing bride had a cock? The British aristocracy are the most worthless dolts on the planet. Glad I don't have to pay taxes to support their pretentious clown show.

Well this could easily fool a bloke. You know what English birds look like? What.

^Yikes. Scott Thompson from Kids In The Hall

r53 English women are very varied!

^ Si. Just ask me mum.

Latest video up nearly 48 hours and still on less than 90,000 viewers. Such a contrast with her videos 2 months and more ok.

Something has definitely changed substantially whether it's mainly a result of her talking too much politics and alienating people or declining interest in the Harkles a discernible shift has occurred in the figures I'm certain of it.

Her videos are boring when not tied to a specific Harkle event. Her fury about woke people posing as great a menace as Hitler tells you everything you need to know about her. Her politics are odious. She needs to do fewer videos.

I thought River was a drag queen, not someone who identified as a woman. She looks ridiculous in her thrift shop women's clothes and begging for tips so she can buy more used costume jewelry. She added a huge disclaimer that amounts to "I'm just making this shit up." Her politics are pretty creepy, too.

River wants to be a woman?? r58

He actually has far fewer subscribers than Lady C but is slowly nearing the numbers of views per video that she gets.

George is the son of a Lebanese rug merchant. Très aristocratique 😂

r60 Still infinitely more classy ,intelligent and dignified than you Harry!

^ and she has a bigger cock

You are very naughty r62 !! She certainly has more balls than Harry!!

I watch her post on Youtube, She reminds me of my Tory Brit grandmum. She's sort of like my tea and crumpets. Comfort food from another era.

With Just over 40,000 viewings after a good few hours I am beginning to think that maybe Lady Colin Campbell either has done permanent damage to her brand or paradoxically the royals in exile couple she loathes are on a downwards trajectory in terms of public interest in the couple despite their best efforts to remain relevant. Hard to tell which is the dominant factor but that figure is very low for Lady C.

Lady C is a one trick pony. How many times can she wine that M & H are worse then Hitler (who she likes). Hope they never die in a plane crash or the old baggage's " career" is kaput.

r66 The law of diminishing returns certainly seems to be kicking in.

R66 'wine" Oh Dear
