How to get subs on Youtube: A Case Study by Gabby Lindley
April 2014: Zoe mentions you in a Favorites video. Now let’s milk it.
May 2014: Go to Brighton to meet Zoe and put your vlog to your main channel, not to your vlog channel where you have put every single one of your vlogs.
Somewhere in between: Suddenly decide to move to Brighton even you don’t have one single friend there (note: that Hobbie guy is actually Alfie’s friend, they were introduced by him). Block anyone who dares to question why.
July 2014: Oh it’s a gunna be a good month. Go to Brighton to look for flats and somehow end up staying with Zoe for one whole week even though you have met only for once before and you didn’t even bring clothes(?). Tweet the heck out when you’re there and never fail to mention Zoe and Alfie in those tweets. Appearances in Zoe and Alfie vlogs, check. Appear in the background of a Zalfie Sims video instead of sitting&waiting in another room in the flat, check. Appear in a main channel Zoella video, check. That my friend is your break through to Zalfie fans. Never forget to block the heck out of those Zalfie fans who dare to question how uncomfortable they feel about your true intentions!
September 2014: Zoe is daily vlogging, appearances in Zalfie vlogs, good good. Keep blocking&bullying those 12-year-old fans that doesn’t kiss the ground you walk.
October 2014: Made another cameo on Zoe’s main channel video because Alfie could not make it to Brighton from NY to shoot one.
Afterwards: No more appearances, sad times, need to come up with a new strategy to stay relevant..
An updated summary of everything happened with Gabby?
Here is the summary for those asking: What happened with Gabby?
1. Gabby was being her rude&nasty&immature self about Vessel. Vessel is a site where you pay to watch Youtube videos 3 days before they’re uploaded on Youtube. Tanya/Caspar/Marcus/Connor joined there. Alfie/Zoe/Tyler said they don’t support Vessel. But Gabby kept saying how “disgusting” those youtubers are/how they exploit their viewers over and over again. If you haven’t realize this is not the way to “state opinion” especially when you’re followed by many young&impressionable fans who needs to actually learn how to share opinions.
2. Alfie stated the obvious that she should be more mature the way she’s stating her opinions. (Note: Alfie also does not approve Vessel and he already stated his opinion.) This is why Alfie is a role model to many and Gabby is not. With those tweets you can see instead of taking Alfie’s gentlemanly advice, Gabby acts even more like a immature/rude little girl if that was possible. (Note: She’s a 20-year old adult).
Gabby did not stop there, she tweeted and fav’ed tweets which were shading Alfie. Wait! Why Gabby is allowed to share opinions (it was not sharing opinion it was being a dick anyways) but Alfie is not? This was the moment when the logic died.
3. Her old bullying proofs surfaced where she call viewers “bitching” and leading her followers to send hate to them: HERE and HERE you can see a 20-year old woman attacking 14-year old girls and sending them hate. Both those girls were stating their opinions without even being close to rude. What happened to stating opinions Gabby? Or are you the only one who is allowed to share their opinions (again this girl can’t share opinions, she always be nasty about them and bullies people).
There are so many more instances of bullying/being nasty/shading but since she deletes her tweets constantly, it’s hard to find them.
Update: Here is another example where she called a fan (probably underage) a “whore” and thus bullied her to the point that poor girl agreed that she’s a “whore”!! When you think she can’t get lower than that she’s now trying to passing on calling an underage girl a “whore” as a JOKE on twitter?! Here is her tweet:
Excuse me since when it’s acceptable to joke to someone you don’t know and someone that is a fan of yours “whore”?!?!?!
4. Next day, Alfie wakes up and likes some tweets which clearly show that Alfie is aware of a)how Gabby bullies fans b)how she bad mouth youtubers in a very bad manner who happen to be Alfie&Zoe’s actual close friends c)how she indirected Zoe several times over twitter and Tumblr. The tweets and the posts linked on those tweets are HERE and HERE.
5. One of those tweets were linked to my post I did 3 months ago which was a proof of Gabby shading Zoe in her Tumblr. It was taken from Tumblr by MYSELF when I used to follow and send asks to her on Tumblr. Someone asked Gabby is this was true and she said she didn’t have a Tumblr! A BLATANT LIE, HERE IS THE PROOF. This was the lowest moment of Gabby.
Update: I screenshot that tweet about not having a tumblr myself today and now that she’s caught lying, she deleted the tweet!!!
6. Further reading: I also wrote a post about how Gabby leeched of from Zalfie over the couple of 8 months and how she became relevant in the youtube scene.
(Note: Hate the fact that Alfie&Zoe make such a toxic and negative person relevant)
