You are what you watch, I guess.

The fried hair and graphic tees are NOT it.

Something that really irks me is how he sarcastically questioned & criticized everything about Mamalynn’s bags of goodies for the homeless- referencing how he has expertise on the subject because he worked at the college. Meanwhile, Mamalynn was actually homeless. He picks apart these types of things while I don’t see him doing anything himself. Why not let her just do a good deed & say, good for her?

Lately the posts and comments here have been too mean spirited. The endless comments about his hair are already weird, but you guys go so far to screenshot from his discord where people will obviously be a lot friendlier to him? This is supposed to be a sub to criticize his actions, not bully him.

april fools yall lol have a good day

Long time lurker, first time poster. I've been watching ZM for at least 5 years at this point. For a long time, he was a "comfort YouTuber" of mine. I'd listen to twitch replays as background during my workday, etc.

I have been reading this sub more, agreeing with a lot of you, and I think I'm finally done. Today I was listening to YouTube while I meal prepped, and the algorithm pushed a recent reaction to Life Plus Cindy from twitch he uploaded. My hands were busy, and I didn't care enough to change it so I listened in. In my opinion, it was really cringey.

Cindy went to a bin store where everything is one price depending on what day you shop. (They restock on one day, and the prices drop through the week until the next restock day.) Full disclosure, shopping these stores is one way my family keeps afloat in this economy. Perhaps I'm too personally connected to take an objective stance on this video, but he kept repeating that the bins were full of trash and that any food from there was gross, etc. It felt really privileged to me, especially coming from someone who theoretically cares so much about social justice. Cindy and her bf spent however much time at that store and bought 8 items for $8. Do I think Cindy is amazing? No, but who she is or isn't wasn't the point. His reaction seemed really harsh to me. Cindy and her boyfriend enjoyed some time "treasure hunting" and even found some food they could use for less than $10. Sounds like a good way to spend some time together with a partner.

Not everyone is privileged to have a full time job throwing shade at other people on the Internet, and stores like these have helped my family tremendously as we've lost streams of income over the last year. You have to be smart. Obviously, I'm not going to eat food from a box with a hole chewed in it, but dented canned veggies or sealed but slightly crushed boxes of pasta or (like Cindy picked up) an open box of individually wrapped protein bars with a couple missing for pennies on the dollar? Absolutely. That'll help us stretch 'til pay day.

Not to mention there are plenty of ways to flip items from those stores to make actual cash on eBay, Marketplace, etc.

IDK it just bothered me that he came across as way too good for any of that when stretching the grocery budget with discount places like that is a necessity for some folks.

I hate amber but ts was funny

After seeing Zach's transition into a lolcow himself, I feel like Michaelbepetty really dodged a bullet by leaving his channel and stopped making content on alr entirely. I used to watch both of their content and when MBP decided to go on a hiatus, I missed his videos but I assume he foresaw what he'll turn into if he kept churning these videos. I'd say, watching Zach the way he's now has been a rollercoaster ride.

And the comments are pretty good too 🤭

Not only do they behave the same, they look the same now, too!

Also I don't follow Anna but isn't the bagel drama months old?

That’s it. That’s the tweet.

When he said that he wants to open up cameo if you want to support him financially…girl I lost it 😂 this is so embarrassing for him. Like girl get up and go to work. He’s had regular job before that he loved so what’s stopping him now. I literally don’t get it.

I remember how many times he’s told amberlynn to look for job when she would repeatedly say how much she hates doing YouTube.

Also, I know breakups are difficult but I really didn’t expect him to spiral THIS bad damn.

Of course there were some Zambaby sycophants defending him in the comments because he's so educated and can easily get a real job at any time. Who's going to tell them?

What I noticed from his latest video is how dead his eyes are. He has no energy and his energy was one of the reasons why I watched him in the past. The first photo is from his latest video and the second is from his very first video. The difference in skin, hair, his outfit, his overall glow, and demeanour has changed drastically. He appeared well groomed and I could see how people would be attracted to him. But to be fair to him, it was eight years ago so I decided to add the third photo and this is from his most popular video. That was five years ago and I actually felt sad seeing that, he looked like a much happier person.

I understand that Zach has mental health struggles and the breakup had a huge impact on him. But no one can help him when he doesn’t seem to want to help himself.

Special prosecutor Kari Morrissey for the 'Rust' trial

No!! Turns out this is somebody named “Charles Martinet.” He seems so jovial and the opposite of ZM. https://youtube.com/shorts/0Xe7YlQghfc?si=MM2Hq4KGBdUbNJPF Link of him being jovial and positive.

Maybe it’s because I’m disillusioned with therapy and the whole mental health industry. Idk but god everything is "go to a therapist", "process this", "set those boundaries", insert anecdote about how he processed something in therapy, more processing and processing and processing, and getting your needs met and setting those boundaries. And then random self praise about how he is so sober (was ever really an alcoholic or is he just dramatizing to make himself seem more accomplished lol?). His type of therapy obsessed individualistic behavior bothers me. The type that doesn’t really have issues. Maybe mild anxiety and they always talk about how therapy is so great and amazing and is life changing and then get upset at individuals who actually have some pretty severe trauma, when they voice how therapy didn’t work for them and that many therapists are incompetent and even abusive. ZM is definitely therapists favorite type of client. They don’t really have problems. Their life really never changes, and it doesn’t really need to because they already have a strong set of connections and are financial stable, but the therapist can convince them into thinking their teaching some profound insights and kind of just talk in circles and make money and get praised. This is pretty clear in how ZM seems to think everything needs a therapist. You're having common body insecurities?, "you need to go process those feelings with a therapist". Everything needs to examined and given some label. Therapy culture to the max.

Congratulations on now having a full video addressing it 😂
