I totally agree with your stand, I also do not tune in to all of her podcast episodes and I am selective with every other podcast, youtube video - it's not like the creator has to please everybody. I do not think that it's the downfall of Emma, perhaps a part of her audience is changing, but what is the need to push someone down just because you (the listener) don't agree with her opinions or just random rant, the internet is odd sometimes.

as a 21 year old girl, she had a huge influence on me from 2017-2021. i hope she’s doing ok. you can’t really expect her to be some great philosopher when she reached such massive success at a young age and didn’t need to continue school. if she wants to make aesthetic videos about her traveling or talk about nothing, i think she has the right. get over it

Yeah, the hive mind and redundant repetitive criticism of “she needs school, she’s lost her relatability, she’s not profound. Yadi Yada” is driving it way past home. I do think think it’s just people having sour grapes and simply outgrowing something and getting sassy about it. The whole contrived and parasocial schtick of ‘monetized relatability and authenticity’ is already a corporate dystopian concept. Why are people so ready to follow into this cult of personality and help popularize someone because of this perceived relatability until they reach a point where they simply can’t be relatable anymore? because once they get a stack of money and deals for acting like ‘your cute little gremlin friend struggling through life with you’ the whole illusion breaks down.

I interpret the go to college comment differently. I think every 18year old should go to a college, trade school or program, or the military. These avenues after high school help you learn about yourself while easing you into adulting.

The people insinuating they’re more qualified to, I’m sorry.. do what? Host a podcast? Or the people implying they are in some way better than her because they went to college, it’s actually so backwards. A degree doesn’t make you a better person, and tons of people succeed without degrees. They still deserve respect.

Americas obsession with college or university degrees is only toped by south korea I think (highest suicide rate from all first world nations btw.). Spending a fortune on sometimes useless degrees for jobs you def. dont need to go to college for and then having an amount of debt that would make me cry. And dont even get me started about free education nowadays. The internet is amazing and offers more equality in accessibility of education. When everyone has a degree, it loses its value too. Those degrees used to be for the most academicly gifted and now you need one to work a normal office job? Pointless. I have a full time job as designer in an agency and never went to university. It was all about skills and my works when I applied. I am also rooting hard for people learning crafts again. This is dying out and everything gets made in China.

I understand everyone is free to express themselves but her opinion will be meaningless and no one would listen to her, which it doesn’t benefit her. Why do they mention people in college? because most of them do their research about their topics they spent time doing it. Of course anyone can do it without going to college but SHE isn’t doing it that’s why. If she wanted to stay relevant (she’s an influencer) she has to do the work

For non native English speakers, many language teachers recommended her podcast when learning English as a 2nd/3rd language. Her podcast is easy to digest, her vocab is inclusive and simple to follow. I appreciate how she explains the definition of the topic first. I like the conversational style. Just because her critics find it “unintellectual “ doesn’t mean it isn’t a chill alternative learning resource for others. No one has fact checked her podcast analytics. She’s one of the top podcasts in her category. Its mostly privileged classist middle class girls that look like her pushing the “goto college” comparisons. It’s giving envious, crab in barrel.

When I listen to Emma’s podcast, it’s like listening to a friend talk about a topic that has been on her mind. She talks in a slow pace and sometimes her words doesn’t match her thoughts (I’ve been there too). People need to realise that she is a real person and not just someone on our screens to watch when are bored of real life. She might not have a degree but she is a living creature on earth and has her own thoughts on life and what happens around us. And she wants to share them with us, we can at least be grateful for that. We need to see life without cuts and edits, without filters. + People change, and if you can’t accept that then you need to learn how to because change is a part of life.

Some people say Emma is a pretty girl with pretty privilege - but seeing her in unflattering ways, her with acne and a messy bun and burping on screen makes her look like a very average,regular girl despite her family being better off than most viewers. Seeing a regular girl like yourself make it to fame and success and get invited to all these fashion shows and suddenly get elevated with fancy makeup and clothes - I agree, I think there's an element of jealousy and resentment. Many are probably questioning how is she worth being invited to all these events and hosting the met bc they saw her in her flaws

I have to agree.

Speaking as a Milennial who is only vaguely familiar with Emma, this was a very fair analysis. Emma isn't a regular teenager anymore. She's gone from being recorded in her kitchen to be recorded on red carpets. Her life experience is unique. So if she's no longer relatable to you, that's fine. It's disappointing, but it's not the end of the world. Find someone else to listen to. On the other hand, it's clear Emma needs a sounding board or collaborators so she can gain more perspective. That will greatly enhance her podcast alone.

These are some of the dumbest allegations I’ve ever heard. People would really make a problem out of anything

I think even though Emma didn’t go to college, she learned a lot of other skills, for example networking etc. I am from Europe (Germany) where a lot of people are still learning trades instead of going to uni. In fact in some industries it is better to get practical experience. Honestly for me it is more inspirational how she grew her business essentially and a lesson in confidence and do what you want to.

I think she is more down to earth than most influencers. Sure, she is not gonna be able to talk about normal experiences bc guess what? She didnt have a normal life. She got famous at 16 and quit school and is a millionaire and the age of 22, OF COURSE she is not gonna be relatable to most people. That doesn’t mean what she has to say is completely stupid and void. If you are lookinh for relatability, big influencers who live in LA and have their own companies in their 20’s and never had to get close to a university are not gonna give you that relatability, honey. Simple as that. Also I dont think she is trying to become a “voice of a generation” with her podcast. She just wants to be able to make a living out of content without having to leave her bed sometimes. Anyone here woudl do the same if they had the opportunity, lets be honest. So yeah, if she feels like evolving her content, great, if not, thats not your problem boo, go find something else to listen to.

Why bash her for living her best life? I sense jealousy in some of their tone. And they tellin’ her to go to college for “experience” whereas she travelling the world and meeting with new people everyday is the kinda experience that they or some of us would never be able to get in life.

People(…especially other women) love to watch women getting burned at a stake, ie, getting “cancelled”. To society, many female influencers are being waited out until they are cancelled. Society is highly critical towards women, in a way that it is not so critical towards men. I genuinely, strongly believe that a guy in Emma’s place would not be so strongly observed. In fact, in this sense, Emma is perfectly self deprecating. In other words, she’s humble, which is a quality lost in Gen Z. And yet, simultaneously, she is being bullied by those who simply see her as competition, in a society where becoming an influencer is so obviously easy. Gen Z’s morals are where narcissism meets herd mentality. I say this as a Gen Z myself. Most of us are hyper focused on watching women get ‘burned at the stake’. As much as we like to believe we are morally better than everyone, we’re not. We’re just awful human beings who get gratification from seeing people get cast out from society

I didn't know who Emma Chamberlain was before watching this video, but it does strike me that she is someone whose success was based on her personality and intelligence level as a teenaged school drop-out. She was richly rewarded for her traits at that age, and thus never had to do the things the audience had to- she never finished school or got her GED, never went to college and/or got a job. Ultimately, it seems she is being rejected for getting stuck in the rut she was being rewarded for being in, which seems a bit unfair to her on one level. On the other hand, the fact that she has not diversified to achieve growth in other ways lays at least part of the blame at her feet.

You’re absolutely correct I wish more people had the brain cells to understand this

As someone who has spent too much time in uni, its definitely not for everyone. I don't think you are necessarily 'smart' if you go to uni/college and it's super rude to insinuate that someone 'should' go. But it is also annoying when people believe that uni just provides you with intellectual knowledge - uni is place to meet different people, make connections, and understand other's opinions. I'm certain you can have these experiences outside of uni, but for some of us, uni is the place where we learned about who we are and met some of our closest friends - so its understandable why people believe uni is for everyone (when its not). In the end, its Emma's choice and saying she needs to college/uni is extremely arrogant.

Hi Zoe I like your take on this, really good thought processing. It’s just life, once people put you on a pedestal they unrealistically expect you to stay frozen in time forgetting that you’re human too. It’s just a basic human bias. We have to understand that she’s fully human and so are we, we are only able to criticize her because she’s doing something with her life and it’s being shown to a massive audience. It’s okay to outgrow people, it’s just what it is fr.

Thank you for pointing out that we are ALL in an echo chamber. And that college itself is an echo chamber. Sounds like a lot of criticism from her audience because they are holding themselves to the standards that is being pushed on them so they want to blame her for not holding herself to the same standard.

She seems more authentic and genuine now and that’s sad because you can clearly see how much pain she’s in. You can literally see the depression appear in her eyes in the past few years. I never liked her or her content but I’m realizing now that she actually is trying to be real and I respect that I feel bad for her getting all this hate and videos being made about her at such a young age when she’s trying to do her best.

I think we need to recognise that she is a human too. And not just some creature or machine behind a screen,,, she will grow and change,, and it is not in our place to judge that someone has grown to be different than what we had known before and what we were comfortable with. What we can do is find some creator that suits us , that is relateable to us. We can grow out of situations and people and that is totally okay and it is not their duty to change as we do.(I haven't watch her videos or listen to her podcasts but that's just what i thought )

i watched emma around 5 years ago till maybe last year, and i've only listened to maybe 2 or 3 episodes of her podcast it was never that serious, imo, everything that she has put out was always personal in a way that it's like she's thinking out loud and on the internet, processing her thoughts as she's filming, personally i've never taken what she said seriously like a source of information ykwim, it's more like an entertainment since it is her own thoughts on camera, like it's kind of hard to explain so i hope it makes sense also, i've felt this since she stopped putting much "effort" in her videos, i.e. forcing the algorithm using thumbnails and loud titles, she's changed professionally to another tier of popularity, yes the met gala, vogue, fashion week, the new house, honestly i think popularity isn't the right word but the brain is not braining atm, example that i think is similar is with nailea devora but i think nai is a bit grounded but still closely in that category of popularity i think the change is for the better, i'm glad that she's grown so much, like it's crazy how much relatability can do, and whatever she's gonna do with people putting out bullshit on her, i hope she's not taking it seriously as i didn't to her shit lol, do what you wanna do girl ong

Do you agree or disagree with the criticisms toward Emma's pod?

Why the hell should everyone be relatable or represent people? Why? We all watched movies and shows that had NOTHING to do with our lifes and loved it. We all watched interviews with people who have lifes totally different from ours and thats what made it fun. We want to see things that are a different reality sometimes. If I want relatable stuff only, I would record myself and the mundane things around me all day. Not everythign has to be about me.

SOOO true, there’s power in being not being relatable and having new perspectives

"College makes you a relatable, real person!!" I know a lot of smart, amazing people who couldn't afford or manage college. Equating university enrollment to some sort of superiority is classist (and ableist).

Thank you! Literally just seeing this in a new light now, it truly is ableist and classist. I feel dumb for not being able to finish my diploma, but it was COMPLETELY inaccessible for me with my adhd, I was physically destroyed and couldn’t hand things in on time to pass even though my grades were great and I went above and beyond and hyper fixated like crazy on subjects. It does sting when people say elitist stuff like this, it’s super annoying, podcasts are literally just conversations and not all conversations have to be highly intellectual or structured.

I sit at a coffee shop in my university listening to her podcasts at least once a week. I don't expect the podcast to be intellectually stimulating or lifechanging, its just something to enjoy while I go about my day. I do agree that sometimes her topics can be on the simple side but I appreciate that when I am mentally exhausted from my course work. It feels like I am listening to a friend ramble about life and thats why I enjoy it.

Hell i am a millennial and still love Emma! Even though she is six years younger than me, i still found a lot of her content relatable and refreshing to that of other creators there was just something about her all over the place chaos that was calming to me she wasn’t who i would go to for anything profound or super deep, she was just a vibe and a comfort for me

Same! I’m an “Elder Millennial” (1984)…so I’m 17 years older than her. I started following Emma during the pandemic and love her!

I didn’t have the opportunity to go to college. My parents instructed me to get a job in fast food and work through jr college but we lived about an hour and 1/2 away from the nearest one. I didn’t have a car yet and every time I was meant to use my parents car I still had to ask that morning to make sure I could still go to where I was scheduled to go, so It was hard to try to figure out how to buy a car but also go to college. Loans were not an option. I was already involved in arts and music and the nearest college wasn’t a place to further that. It all became too overwhelming so I started working with kids and got into teaching. A lot of people are kind and supportive about it but there are a lot of people who are just down right cruel about my intelligence.

One of my best friends LOVES her and i didnt even know who she was until my bestie introduced me to her. I dont feel like she’s so different than others, but i dont know her so who am i to judge.

and I also feel like it's important to mention that she had an influence on AMERICAN teenagers. She's barely known here in France

what i dont get is why everyone thinks she needs to be relatable. like why don't you enjoy listening to unique people with their own experiences, thoughts and feelings? so weird to me how they seem like they want everyone to be like themselves.

It happens to me with every youtuber once they make ther New Home Tour Video or Fancy Nursery Tour, they just keep doing the same thing but at bigger scale and focused around their lives instead of the original toppic. By that point some people become die hard fans, some are new to their channels, and some just drop them and find something new. It's the cycle, maybe it is the first time many of her fans face this dilema. And after so many year the parasocial relationship reaches a high point and people feel like their personal friend is drifting away, it hurts and so you voice your concern.

I had a nice LOL when Emma asked herself if she was really about to cry right now. Thats the whole problem with putting your entire life online, your never alone with yourself and the thing gets stuck down inside you.

15:22 I love that you’re talking about making sure that we seek influence outside of our circles. I am an essential worker at a hospital and we deal with compassion fatigue. It sounds like the same thing. We are very prone to depression and anxiety. Get outside and touch grass, or read a book!❤

Please talk about Kpop k-dramas C-dramas industries and theirs effect on the young generation today, love you Zoe

I still think her podcast is relatable I love her content to this day whether its something I could do someday or not its good entertainment I enjoy. She seems like a really caring genuine person. I had no idea people dislike her now... and it's okay to have changes in taste of what they enjoy. But is downfall taking it too far??? reactions to the video: zoe always such a great job explaining things and every point she made was so true. but in the end its important that we use our time/money etc to invest in what we want to do, and what makes us most happy or content.

Awesome video. I love how you went about this

I agree with everything you said!!!!! YESSSSSSSS thank you for sticking up for her and being KIND!

I love emma's podcast. It's so raw and engaging. As for the college argument, I know so many people in their masters degree that refuse to even touch any topic on emotional intelligence.

I really appreciate the kindness and compassion you approach this topic with. She’s still young. And we learn continuously throughout our lives, changing. I agree that the “needs to go to college” argument sounds elitist and honestly quite old fashioned. No one has it all figured out, and Emma is trying to say that she does. There’s some really kind comments on here! I loved the point about just because she’s got a bit of hate on tiktok recently, it doesn’t mean she’s gonna change herself for that- we connect with different people at different times, and so I think there’s an audience for everyone/everything.

Her podcasts are like my thoughts when I haven’t touched grass for too long

Betting 10 bucks TikToks algorithm is gonna show me endless videos of Emma Chamberlin after this

Put on the tin foil hat

People need to understand not everything is made for them. They may not find it deep or interesting but others will. I know that I’m not really a podcast listener myself (apart from sometimes listening to trash taste and frenemies) so I know that I’m not going to go out of my way to listen to hers. Also if people genuinely think that university makes you a critical thinker, then I’m concerned. You don’t need to be in education to be able to think and learn, we’re humans that’s what we’re supposed to do in our lives regardless of whatever institutions that exist. Also I’ve met so many people at university who don’t even think in general so thinking critically is too far out of their skill set.

How petty do you have to be to bring up college to someone who already has a successful career on their own, like not everyone is gonna live the same life get over it, we're not robots

Why do people just WANT her to have a downfall so bad?💀 the girls who tell her to go to college to educate herself or whatever are the same ones who say “ don’t tear down other women🥺”. This generation is full of hypocrites I’m sorry. And why are they suddenly talking about her education, intelligence?? She hasn’t done one thing that would make me even question her intelligence. The people who say that know that Emma has everything they ever wanted and the only the she doesn’t have is a college degree so they want to hold at least SOMETHING against her to make themselves feel better. Jealousy

I'm a middle class white girl and I've never found her content entertaining or understood the hype But I don't think she deserves the hate

known about her for a few years. never saw the "it thing" and never cared about her. she might be big, but in this world, you can have a large following , and yet A LOT of people still don't know who she is. a lot of people in LA know her, but she's not that big in europe etc. so i really couldn't care less. all of this "i am so relatable" is always a phase that doesn't last long AND it usually a little put on - to seem like the cool chill girl.

but no one is forcing them to listen to her podcast tho..?

She's talked about this on a new KZread vid, "An Unfiltered Conversation with Emma Chamberlain," but she said that she's really transforming and evolving her creative approach/outlet right now, and she's in no rush and she's enjoying letting things unfold. She's in a good place, and I'm personally really excited for the ride as well. I think we're too quick to use words like "downfall," because we all go through ebbs and flows, especially on a creative platform.

Long time I don’t see your videos, just appeared on my main page. I found Emma a few weeks ago and I love her podcast, she’s very mature for someone her age. All your points are very relevant. ❤❤❤❤

i love emma. i started watching her at 11 and now I'm 17. I feel like I have grown with her content. its lighthearted, genuine and entertaining. shes an artist and makes art (podcasts) based off of what inspires her. shes humble and acknowledges her lack of credentials in discussing some topics but does it nonetheless because its interesting to her. listening to her is like having a convo w a friend. ya, you might not have a degree in relation to the topic your discussing, but that doesn't mean you cant get something out of the convo...

I have been loving her since 2017 and I still love listening to her. It is like hearing a friend talk, so no, I don’t think this is her downfall 🫶 people are just jealous bc they are salty :/

love the video but little zoom in n outs r so annoying

Thank you for not shaming any females in your video. You bring up great points (as a 22 year old) who loves Emma, grew up watching her. I graduated college. We all as of a collective need to stop being so judgmental. Emma lived the same life as us, but got lucky because she is talented and doesn’t know how to relate to her audience as much anymore because she is older, and lived in the fame.

Why are people so obsessed with college in my country so many people have degrees but are jobless and they forget skills sre importsnt at the end of the day its just a piece of paper but you csn be successful either way .

I'm now realizing that this is the channel I need in my 20s

I've never heard of this girl before. Guess being a foreigner is actually a blessing

i totally agree nd ure my fav youtuber, i love ur level of maturity, ur kindness, ure smart, i love the way u put ur opinions into words

Emma addressed in one of her video's that she did finished highschool.

Just discovered your channel and I really love it ! Thank you !

I came to say NO, she is the one not interested in being online, but everybody would still watch her daily vlogs

I'm 41 and I think her podcast is great! She's emotionally intelligent and successful, people should listen. ❤

The classism and comparisons aren't cute. It's ok to not feel connected to her, but to drag someone for choices that only affect personal growth doesn't seem to be the real problem people have with her.

Considering the amount of idiots who have a degree I'm cringing a lot hearing these girls acting like they're so much better than Emma because they went to college. Them having this discourse is even an actual proof that they actually kinda suck as people. They suddenly realised that yes Emma isn't a philosopher and that made them feel like they're above her. I used to watch her vlogs, I never caught on her podcasts because indeed it wasn't anything groundbreaking but never once did I thought the reason her podcast lacked depth was because of the lack of a fckng degree. I don't even have a degree myself yet I still know how to think critically like...seriously, they sound incredibly elitist and while doing so they not only shit on Emma but also on the majority of people who didn't go to college. Literally just calling people dumb. It's a sad thing to see.

Are soon as you said going to school is not the same as learning, I clicked the like button. You're so right for that.

i love emma, everyone’s different. if u don’t relate u don’t, i’m still only 17 but i’m also somewhat in her shoes. not everyone is interested in the same basic life goals everyone pushes u. we all hav different things to figure out, underrated or not

The thing about influence is that it's fleeting. It never, ever lasts. Stay in school, kids.

I started this video thinking it was going to be somewhat an attack against Emma or just affirming how her "downfall" but it ended up being a great analysis and a very mature one at that. I agree with you!

I've never heard of her, ive only heard about her recently in passing

never expected emma to be a philosopher, just a girl in her 20s going through thoughts most of us are having and it blows my mind ppl hold her to such a high standard. it’s not like she’s spreading misinformation she brings guests on with more qualifications than she has to talk about certain topics which i actually really appreciate especially her cultish ones

I only saw her at events interview stars and she seemed so sweet...😅 Luckily I didn't look into her further...

All the charges of her to be uneducated are pure classism, there is no other way to call it. Basically all over the western world the cultural field is a prerogative of high class people, it's a locked environment; you can access to it only if you belong to specific social groups. Can she improve? Of course she can but, really, this is not the point: people are not criticize her for her content, they are just hating her with classist insults.

Girl, your opinion on attending college (or others education in general) made me fall in love with you!! All these opinions of others judging Emma/anyone for not going to college pisses me off so much!!! (And I have my BA). Thank you for pushing back on those comments. However, I still love Emma.

zoe, i can’t thank you enough for this video. i have been feeling so sad for her recently because of everyone coming out with these hateful and judgmental comments. she is still so young, she has learned and grown in ways that her former audience members that have been to college haven’t. i agree with every point you mentioned. i love emma chamberlain and i always will. when i watch/listen to her content i feel like she is my friend and she doesn’t portray that celebrity aurora like other influencers do. thank you zoe.

It’s definitely not her “downfall” she had an incredibly successful career and that isn’t stopping anytime soon.

As someone slightly older than her (and a teacher), I wanna say that having skills and other types of intelligence for the long run is very important. She can totally learn without going to higher education, but so far, all the skills she has is making videos. After a while. influencers fall off, so what's the plan B? Maybe she is learning something in the background that she can use after this and good for her! I hope that's true, but then again she's rich. She might not have to do anything else besides influencing. (Although I had no idea who she was before this video)

I started watching her vids when she had a couple hundred followers on KZread. She was just so chaotic and as a fellow high schooler at the time, it just felt like hanging out with a friend. The thing is, she got extremely famous without trying. She didn’t finish HS, she hasn’t gone to college. She’s successful financially but she’s irrelevant now, and has no purpose. It’s hard enough to be an early 20s girl so I can’t imagine having no direction or purpose. Other influencers make brands, work in fashion, make their passion become careers etc. But Emma didn’t even have a niche early on. She just made failed cookies and was like able. I’m absolutely not trying to be hateful. It just seems like she hasn’t really outgrown the cringey high school phase she got famous for… and her viewers have. I open she finds her path.
