The End, Again?

Oh wow, deja vu.  

Remember when Kate gave her audience the proverbial middle finger and left, leaving all of the fanboys to bawww and claim that there must be a reason, that she'd never just leave her fans like that?

Well, apparently she did it again, just as abruptly.  And probably for good this time.

As George Bush once so eloquently butchered:  Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me.

I wasn't shamed though of course, and likely nor were the kinds of people who would read this blog.  I'd come to accept the kind of person she was.  Or the kind of person she became, rather.  So none of it was particularly surprising.  In fact, none of the stuff I've been hearing lately comes as a surprise.  The only surprising part is probably that it took me this many months to learn about it.  I've been busy and never even thought to look at the comments here or I'd have known sooner.

I'm just going to cut right to the chase.  I doubt that her deleting her channel has anything at all to do with stalking or anything of the sort.  I also don't think she deleted it simply from being tired of it.  That channel would have still gotten thousands of views a month, and that was free money.  We know how much Kate loves money, as seen when she felt it okay to trick her fans into voting for her to win $20k of furniture, so she wouldn't have given that source of income up lightly.

No, the more obvious reason here is that she's gotten herself mixed up with a new crowd of people and doesn't want her newfound fame potential to be marred by anyone finding the vlog.  Re-inventing yourself is hard when you have video evidence readily available of what you used to be.  This would help explain why the main channel still exists, because that's resume material.  I heard someone say it was hackers who deleted her accounts, and that she managed to re-upload her Katers17 channel, but no.  All of the original dates are on those videos.

If you need further proof of her new life, just search Google.  You can see her and her freshly sheared head posing ridiculously next to some people I've never seen before in my life, on some kind of lower-key red carpet event.  Since she never quite managed to achieve Charles Trippy/Shay Carl level of Youtube celebrity despite how hard she tried to insert herself into their circle, and since Cory proved that he was never going to move further up in the world and was actually on the other side of the creative hill, she's gone and shoehorned herself into some other group of people to ride on the coattails of.

But the hair.  Good God, the hair.  She looks hideous.  People can try to defend it as much as they want, but she's no Annie Lennox, not with those pearly white horse teeth sticking out when she smiles, which are far more noticeable now.  No, she's down closer to the Britney Spears tier, but I don't even think she can blame insanity.  We're talking worse than Britney Spears, because it was more likely a publicity stunt.  I mean, this is someone who staged the beginning of a relationship for views.  Once you go that far down that path, nothing is out of the question.  At least temporary insanity is excusable.  Attention-whoring is not.

Meanwhile, I hear Cory was seen with Steph again in one of his videos.  I haven't seen it, I don't know the context, and I'm not sure I care enough to go find it.  But I just roll my eyes to that whole thing.  No surprise whatsoever.  He's one of those people who just can't deal with being alone, and will go back to whatever's available, even if that's something which only resulted in misery before.  To be someone with a bit of fame and looks, he sure doesn't seem to be able to make new friends outside of that same old circle. That was the case during all of the vlogs, for both him and Kate for that matter.  And the handful of friends you ever did happen to see them with were rarely anything to write home about.  I never could understand that.  They must have had pretty bad personalities off-camera.

Anyway, maybe I'm being too harsh, but whatever.  I lost all sympathy for these people, or for the people who kept clinging to the smattering of videos they tossed out.  If your feelings are hurt, then good, you should be mad, you should be upset.  Maybe this will be a good learning experience on who to trust, and when to stop trusting them.  You're never too young to learn that lesson.

In a world where faking everything for money has become business as usual, never take anything for face value.
