GOOD MORNING AMERICA'S HOMEPAGE:
gma.yahoo.com/
I absolutely loved Bethany but now all she does is sponsored videos or videos promoting her merchandise or over produced and unoriginal videos. She has also grown older and I think she's still trying to appeal to a younger crowd which is kind of weird.
my thoughts in words
arelim very true she isn't even close to full time anymore so many people got inspiration to start their CZcams channels from her then once she got famous she stop posting videos completely and now only post ever once and a while and leaves for months
same
exactly
arelim funny u say that because a lot of youtubers that are trending right now try to appeal to younger groups either way
She's not even relevant anymore. Her fan base grew up and moved on.
kennedymeow thats what happens when you neglect them. There are youtubers out there just us famous just as rich and just as busy as her but still keep up with her CZcams channel and viewers. She lost a lot of them when she barely posted videos
kennedymeow I know like she thinks that we're still into that and we are not, CZcams changed Bethany, time to catch up or she won't last long
kennedymeow stop hating she's an inspiration to me and most girls and what have you done that's such an inspiration? quite honestly I don't mean to be rude or hate on anybody I just wanted to put it out there because it gets me so mad when you and other people like that say that so when you are an inspiration to somebody or anybody then you come back telling me or telling anybody that.
She's still averaging over 1 million views per video, so I guess she still has a very relevant fan base, from which she is still making money...That's a lot more views than many CZcamsrs out there who are making videos daily.
If u don't have anything nice to say then bye 👋
Honestly she's kind of gone
Is she even considered a youtuber anymore ?
Charlene Williams yes she was busy with her book and other stuff ...but she is posting more often now
blogistuff once a week lol
Aide Rodriguez somethimes twice a week
Charlene Williams ok u guys need to stop being rude like srsly she has a life ok just like u do so first of all u shouldn't even be saying that she is not posting anymore because of money.
she was busy over a year for her make your mind book, now shes on tour meetung fans, beth started posting more once a week, and she always apologies on twitter because of the delay, now shes filming also a truth or dare with a fan, she's a person too, yes its her career , but she has a life, she can have problems in life and just dont want to mention it in public okay? bring some positivity in life at least some, Bethany did so much to us and shes still doing more! stop sharing negativity
One video a week haha yeah right
Destiny Munoz that's pretty much all you need to make money
she does though... or every other week
Jane Doe right and a million subs. she has millions so shes way above average...#life
Krispie D. There was a time she used to do one video every month then one every three months. That was the time she didn't give that much importance to her CZcams channel
Destiny Munoz you mean 1 video a month
did y'all forget to post this in 2014 because...
Honestly tho lmao
Is this 2013? lololol
she's barely even relevant anymore
Marissa she hasn't been on a talk show in years
Theolinda Fabien ikr
Theolinda Fabien SO TRUE THEOLINDA, SO FUCKING TRUE, LMFAO :D
Theolinda Fabien Seriously, the fact that people like yourself take time out of their day to be negative instead of seeing the positive aspects of stories like this -is mind-boggling! Don't be scared to be nice! lol
TheLeigha72 Drink a pepsi Leigha. ;)
"She tries to upload one video a week." keyword: "TRIES"
She doesn't even post anymore, money has definitely gotten to her anyways
also she seems very fake in her videos, like too fake. I use to love her and she taught me so much back in 2014.
Heyo Angelicat same
she wrote in her book that she's not working for views neither money. and she works pretty hard for us , she's been working for over a year for her book, she is making a book tour to meet all of us. if u just came here to hate then kindly leave.
Heyo Angelicat if money would have gotten to her she wouldn't still be making CZcams videos by the way and she wouldn't care about her fan base or even go to any fan meetings so I suggest that you don't say anything and please stop sending hate messages out there because if you didn't even like the video or like her why do you even get on these videos.JUST SAYING
Hana Hanafi she's working hard on that book for HERSELF lmao think of that revenue
This girl was popular years ago. There are multiple youtubers who are relevant now over this girl. Plus these beauty gurus tend to be shallow and materialistic. This girl appears to be no different. Oh so this is just about making money because she has a book out. Right it makes sense now. Bethany isn't relatable at all. She has way more money because of youtube than the average person.
SHE NEVER EVEN POSTS VIDEOS ANYMORE
Kathryn B lol check her channel
she literally NEVER even posts on her CZcams channel..I forgot she even existed until now! I definitely don't think she's relevant to be on ABC news!
LordKaido why disturbing tho huh? I know her name because she was among popular youtubers back then. But ya she's barely relevant anymore.
hippytippytoes 1987 You obviously don't look at her channel very often then because she always does post.
agreed
hippytippytoes 1987 agreed
agreed , she made a lot of money and now she dont see posting so much
everyone is complaining that she's irrelevant and what not, but in the past she really was an inspiration. through the years i've moved on because i've grown up, and you can't blame her for doing the same. growth and maturity is inevitable. she probably only makes videos now for the young fangirls who i, and many others, used to be like. she's a grown woman now, and it's idiotic to think she'd keep up the same juvenile genre of content on her channel, once EVERY week. i even think she's in college now too which truly takes up a TON of time. just grow up everyone. don't hate on her for doing her thing and continuing life.
princess a preach girl!!! 😘
i was so happy to read this comment! thank you for speaking my mind!
princess a her videos are more childish now than they were when she first started though... She does a bunch of "relatable" videos that you can tell she doesn't even relate too, because she barely went to a school, has never had a relatable job, doesn't date etc. It's one thing to admit you outgrew CZcams it's another to continue to post subpar videos for 2+ years and then complain about how much pressure it is.
Anijah M title from 2 years ago: "emojis & tacos?!" most recent video: "$30 outfit challenge".... if you can't spot the difference idk what to tell you lol. even if you consider her recent videos childish, you can't really believe her entire demeanor hasnt changed for the better (maturity-wise). she's always been a bubbly person but there's a difference between bubbly/happy and childish/annoying. she's grown a lot. hell, she's 21 years old lmao.
princess a yeah I wish her content matured to, that's why she is not relatable, I'm sure the young audience will appreciate something real
Honestly I have stopped watching her videos. She barely posts videos. She used to posts LOTS of videos on variety of topics. My fave were her decor /DIY videos. She's very much getting left behind in that category.
yuristatus she post now but just seems fake like I wanna know Beth
Full time ? She doesn't even post anymore she goes m.i.a for months comes back and post two or three videos then leaves without explanation used to look up to her but she's lost it
nia durant I'd respect her a lot more if she just admitted she outgrew youtube. The comedy skits/collabs with other CZcamsrs is getting redundant. She's done like one haul in a year and in her makeup "tutorials" she doesn't even mention what products she's using lol
can everyone please stop with the "she's not relevant" or the "she is gone". like honestly are you not even listening to what she is saying? to all of you who think Beth hasn't posted in two years, you are obviously not subscribed. She is busy, she's older and doing more things now. She has matured and is STILL making videos for her motavators and she is even on tour rn. yet all people talk about in the comments is how "irrelevant" she is. stop. how could you say that about a person. that itself tears people down and is cruel and harsh. she is not an object, she is a very kind and inspirational human. yes she has had better years, but after them, that doesn't make her useless. please people, just listen to what she is saying, harsh words hurt and it's not cool to call a person useless after you are not happy with their current selves.
honestly I feel like she only begins to post more videos when she either A wants to be nominated for a teen choice award or B wants to actually win a teen choice award.
All I see in the comments are people commenting how she's "gone" or "irrelevant" LOOK! Beth has done a lot for me.. I am extremely grateful to her.. I can so relate to her story.. I was the shyest thing ever! Watching her videos made me who I am today. Seriously, she gave me confidence! I remember walking into school like a boss with her on my head.. She was my motivation to stand up for myself. Poor or rich, being bullied shouldn't be justified! And if she wants to bring up her background story, good for her! There's people who'd like to hear it.. She's an inspiration and example of who you should be.. Stand up to haters, ignore the ignorant. She could care less about all these negative comments. Her life and position now, is something to look up to. She's worked hard. And honestly, I'd like to see the face on her bullies now!! Because damn Beth!! I'd be extremely jealous if I were them! Love you Macbarbie07
TheMePlusU4Eva Finally a nice comment and a Motavator!💕🙌
I totally agree with you girlll :))
This interview is too late, she's hardly relevant now and barely posts
Damn these comments are terrible. wtf.
nyahmanis mommy Because unlike Bethany, these comments are real and honest :) Sorry you can't handle the truth.
OysterHunter you're all over these comments putting this girl down. sound a lil jealous & obsessed.. you need help. good luck.
nyahmanis mommy I take it as my mission to correct stupid people. Consider it community service. You're welcome.
OysterHunter it's okay, some people can't handle the truth
she rarely even posts videos anymore .-.
She not really relevant anymore...
She might be "old news" like some of the comments below say, but she's still loaded 💰 her name is still a very recognizable Brand and she's still successful.
CAN WE PLZ STOP HATING ON HER NOW??? She is trying her best to upload videos now she was really busy with her merch, book, Dancing With the Stars and she had a lot to do... Imagine if she was you, It's hard to manage CZcams when she has a lot more things to do. She also posts more often now. If you don't. have anything nice to say about her then don't say ot at all. What if she reads most of her used to be #motavators hating on her in this comment section?? So spread LOVE❤❤ instead of HATE.
Love Love Love, Totally agree with you girll
I don't remember how I came across her youtube channel. Im not a teenager, Im a older woman....but I came across her Night Routine video, I loved it, and her house. And I just started watching more of her video's about decorating her bedroom, and how to decorate other things. Love Her!
Great for her, but the incredibly wealthy lifestyle she represents, concenrated on consumptionism and buying buying BUYING is so incredibly elitist, it's honestly a NON SUBJECT. Trying to have some real life experience by talking about being bullied on-line?
IT's a non-subject! For her it should be. She should just be super greatful for her life and toughen up! So many people have so little.... This is not normal life. Channels lilke this show the absolute decadence and luxury of our culture.
aglobackwards this comment is so spot on. Her life is extremely luxurious, her channel and career founded on nothing more than materialism. And people think she's 'relatable'? I doubt she's suffered a day in her life, even from a first world perspective. Her privilege makes her superficial.
Completely agree, glad someone else gets it.
I know how annoying it gets when people say this but i miss 2012-2015 bethany, she was at her highest points and it seemed like she enjoyed what she was doing. She literally set an example for so many beauty gurus and you can tell that a lot of beauty gurus drew inspiration from bethany's past videos. Now she barely uploads, and I get it she has a "separate career" from youtube and I'm insanely proud of her but I just missed when she would upload regularly and look excited to make to videos.
Your Friends right!? you mean your PROFIT$...
HOLLOW HILL exactly,
HOLLOW HILL OMG SHUT UP OKAY SHE HAS A LIFE AND SHE CAN BE VERY BUSY LIKE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
I support Bethany Mota 100% ! She is an inspiration and now she does post more videos than before. Like if you saw her latest video with Laurdiy!
Yesss
I forget about her. For like 2 years.
EHHH she's old news....
Chloe Martin yet here you are, watching her videos lmao
iadoremusic101 but this isn't HER video
LMAO who said I watched it?😂 tsk tsk plus FYI this is ABC NEWS, not her video😂😂😂
Chloe Martin are you on the news? I recommend you start talking when you are .
Destinee B. Lopez Na😁😂
loool she posts 2 videos a month
Amal Ibrahim more like 2 videos a year
How is she relatable exactly? She is awfully rich, attractive, has a great body, and is successful. Her life is materialistic and just so fake. I don't see her as someone I can relate to. She was rich to begin with so CZcams didn't really help her.
H1994 she's not rich she's middle class and no wonder you can't relate to anyone you just judge who ever seems like has a better life than you I don't see how you can judge that based on 10 minute videos
jueneisafashionista she's actually a millionaire, go on the website called social blade and type in her name and her income will come out
Makeuphuney that's so fake😂 yes, she has money, but she's not a millionaire😂
and on top of that money doesn't buy happiness
Ferny Carrasco yes she is, dk4l's said they were millionaire in one of their vlogs all bc of youtube! and bethany has A LOT more views, sponsors and brand then them!! She doesn't even buy much luxurious items so im sure she saved her money right
Lmao is she still doing CZcams?
No one even talks about her anymore like literally no one
Brittani B right😂😂, right now everybody talking about Jake Paul and Alissa Violet
she's absolutely beautiful💕
SOOO tired of seing people judjing her ,saying" she's old news" "she's overrated" "she doesn't care about her fans anymore"..wll guess what she is not a robot she is human and she isn't on the internet to fulfill everyone's needs!So easy to judge others and count what they've done wrong smh..GIVE THAT GIRL A BREAK FOR GOD'S SAKE
I can't stand how news channels only make it seem like "teenage girls" watch her videos. I know that teen girls mostly watch her but it's not JUST them.
She's the most genuine and creative youtuber ever! She even post every week and not even a boring video.
LOL I am loving all these hate comments because they are so TRUE! That bullying crap she keeps talking about is so redundant . She barley even posts . she is also unrelatable .
Awww loved it and so inspiring at such a young age. She is a doll.
She doesn't upload a video a week....Maybe once a month.....she's stepped away for awhile now.
I honestly love Bethany Mota so much. She makes me happy and was someone I learned many things from as a child/tween. Bethany has and always will be my role model
beth is a great youtuber she does everything for us . she made a book full of motivational things ,diys,and things that could help us. she did a book tour for us. if u think thats not enough, she's trying her best to make us happy and always apologizes on twitter if the videos was late . dont forget that she has a life too she has family to take care of. to all the people showing hate ,u dont know her life to judge , she tries to post videos once a week. if u think thats easy to post a video maybe for her its not.
Beth was first ever CZcamsr who i subscriebed (2010) and i like her in 2017 too. She is gorjuss. Even with 1 Video per Week, event 1 per Month, she is really ❤.. Hello from Slovakia.
She was such an inspiration to me in high school and still is today! Love ya Beth!❤️
So met Beth on tour , I love her so much :)
Omg I love Bethany mota ❤️ Can she do another clothing line 🤔❤️😭
Bethany really is such a good positive influence on the world n I love that about her!
She's sooo beautiful and I love her personality 😍
I thought I was the only one who thought Bethany Mota wasn't really relative to the "social media world" anymore.
she is just amazingggggggg
She is so beautiful on the inside and out.
It's annoying that she doesn't post regularly but honestly I still love her
This is too funny 😂😂
Bethany I really love your vedios and I'm a big fan of u I have your photos everywhere and on my phone when are the vedios coming up I really can't wait AGREE guys
people need to stop hating on beth, beth is doing a book tour rn, speaking of her book, she was working on it over a year she didnt have time to upload because of this book! and yes, she does talk about her bullying because its the only thing to talk about , its the main idea of the book or why she started her youtube channel, she may be posting like once a month like you say, but atleast she apologies for it!! if you dont know just go on her twitter, she always say " sorry for the delay" , Beth did make so much to us these past years, now shes growing, and CZcams for her is her career, yes, but its not the first thing to do when she wakes up, she has a life okay? give her space , she has people to take care of, again, beth is growing from 2014 or 2013 beth was still a teenager, she didnt have anything to do except for CZcams! now she has more than one thing to do! please stop the hate:)
She may or may not be relevant, however she is a very articulate young woman, and I am impressed that unlike most people she did not have a plethora of "you knows" and "like....." in her interview. What a breath of fresh air!
I saw her at the CZcams FanFest at the Young and Dundas Square in downtown Toronto on Saturday May 2nd, 2015. Also Lily Singh was there too!
10% of the comments: "Love you Bethany!"
90% of the comments: "Is she even relevant anymore."
soooo so proud of bethany!
Love her ❤️❤️❤️
She is so deserving of all her accomplishments!
I love Beth she's so relatable❤️
Yet she barely posts on her channel? 🙃
why is there so much hate beth was the big sister i never had and i owe my confidence to her
We hate bullies. You look beautiful the way you are
OMG looking at all these hate comments are making me very upset. Some comments are like she is not making utube videos because of money LIKE SHUT UP OKAY SHE HAS A FREAKIN LIFE JUST LIKE U SO U SHOULDNT EVEN BE TALKING!!! And also if u don't have anything nice to say about her then boy bye 👋
She's Honeslty so boring now. I don't even watch her anymore or care for her anymore. I forgot about her too actually
thepianist D once you dumb down your content for just young little girls, it's boring and unoriginal
Wow im so shocked that many people hate bethany now just because she wasn't posting her videos... y'all treat bethany like a trash... everyone changes even you! You changed because then y'all were a fan of beth and now you're just giving bad/hate comments about her! She's not using us for money or what! She accepts us as friends but y'all keep on hatin on her im so disappointed for all of the motavators who gave up on her
But still... #MotaFam is real
She was cool IN 2013!
Bethany mota makes me so happy❤❤❤❤
Barely even posts on CZcams anymore idk why they're still talking about her being a CZcamsr
To the people saying she's not making enough videos like before, she is busy and making some videos is something not for her to make money out of cause she's broke,she does it for her fans and to have fun. So I suggest you don't say anything about her doing it just for the money since that is what people think
She's so beautiful!
Look, for literally everyone leaving hate, put yourself in her shoes. She started when she was 13 years old and that fan base has growled to such a large amount that new and new young girls keep subscribing and becoming fans, she is growing up and I know that she doesn't want to leave her fans in the dust but she wants to live a life. If I were her I probably would want to take a break and not feel obligated to post videos that she might not have an interest in. She never signed a contract to her subscribers that she has to always do CZcams, so just let her do her. It kind of sucks that all you people in the comments are hating so much on someone who just tries to spread positivity. And for all you people who are saying that she brings up the bullying thing, it's the script for the news anchor that brings that stuff up. They don't know anything about her and just being up the generic CZcams questions
omg!! i love her!!!
Ummm... the kind of bullying she went through is not as bad as she makes it sound. Just saying, she wasn't physically harmed...just people saying mean things and bullying on social media. Everyone goes through some form of bullying in life...she still brings it up in every interview.
Guys legit stop all this hate if you have nothing nice to say don't say it she legit said it in her video
Please people stop spreading hate to Beth! She is a great human being ❤️ she makes a difference in this world not like other people that are always complaining or destroying this place ..She tries her best
Bethany looks great still :)
y'all need to stop hating on Beth she's uploading again
been with bethany since day 1!!!
once she didn't need youtube to be successful anymore she dropped it. some loyalty there
I was sooo obsessed with her. I would buy things that i thought were cute in her hauls, re create her diys, supported her clothing line... but there was just a time i felt like she lost interest in youtube. She got more famous. More opportunities outside youtube so she stopped making vids for a long time. And i just lost interest too. But i still like her.
Lol how???? Mommy and daddy had friends
there are a lot more youtubers who deserve to be there tbh
So many rude comments about her not being relevant anymore. She's the one with 10 million subscribers, not you. She grew up herself but wants to make CZcams videos to not let us down. Of course she works with sponsors, that's how she gets her money. Eventhough she is rich, she has to make money as well. So stop bashing her over the fact she's not as relevant for CZcams anymore. Because she is. Tons of girls look up to her, just like me, and it would be sad if she ever stopped. Spread positivity guys, not negativity.
she annoys me. Everyone has gotten bullied, she shouldn't make it seem as it was this extreme thing. It probably happened once or twice.
Janel Nicole she brings it up in every interview and it's like we've all been bullied before
all of you saying that she's not relevant anymore...well you are kinda right. her videos don't get as many views as they used to and her amount of subscribers is pretty stagnet. but I love beth and so do so many other people around the world, so let's just be more positive. beth is such a sweet person so let's just spread love.💙💚💛❤
I have no idea who she is..
Cute Potato same
Cute Potato not anymore.. exactly
I used to llllooooovvvee her, now I forgot she even existed😂 like nobody watches her anymore 💀 that's sad
MY QUEEN ♡
Agreed
I love her so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
honestly, if she's on abc news, rcl beauty 101 should be here
I miss the old Beth. The one that actually posted every week. although she's getting better at posting now... but i miss her old videos 😕
they should do this on Lilly Singh or iisuperwomanii on CZcams
OH BETH
Love you beth💕💕💕👑
