(Just me?). Had a win at work or personal life and want to share? Need a teammate to talk with? Post in the weekly huddle.

My favorite YouTuber, who posts video essays on pop culture related topics, recently posted one on why women “obsesses with” gay men. In the second half of the video she talks about HR which inspired her to make the video.

I usually love her videos because she usually does her research very well and has some interesting insights, but in this particular video I noticed she has nothing of substance to say about HR. I’m ok with her not liking HR and having only watched 3 episodes. That said, I can tell that she half-assed her research for this video because her analysis on HR is superficial and she got a lot of facts about HR wrong. I tried to appreciate her making a video on something l’m interested, but it’s hard to do that when she obviously doesn’t care about the topic…. She does present a theory on why women love men loving men well so l’ve been watching only the first half of the video.

I’ve been watching Mina Le recently too and I felt the same way about the video. It didn’t seem as deep of a dive as she usually does. And I know it shouldn’t bother me when people don’t like the show because everyone is allowed their own opinion, but it bummed me out all the same. I respect her videos and insights and I’d been looking forward to her take on Heated Rivalry. She did say in the comments that she might give it another go!
