The Aftermath Of Dramagedon. What Happened After?






Unless you lived under a rock or somehow managed to dodge the social media storm that was "dramagedon" you more than likely already know the backstory but in case you don't, here is a quick breakdown. Four famous beauty guru's decided they would post a shady picture attacking Jeffree Star. Jeffree's stan's didn't take too kindly too this and retaliated by digging up the shady and cruel pasts of the influencers in the photo.

Fast forward nearly two months from the disaster and we can take a look at just how damaging potentially the largest and most known beauty guru scandal ever, was.

Manny Mua:

Prior to dramagedon MannyMUA was getting roughly 13 million views and 194,000 subscribers every 30 days. He averaged 6,400 subscribers with 466,000 views daily, a very successful channel.











Post dramagedon his numbers dropped dramatically. He now receives a little over 6 million views every 30 days and his subscribers dropped to losing 70,000 in the last 30 days. Thats a 400% loss of subscriber gain and 50% loss in views. Manny's social blade stats show he is yet to recover from dramagedon as he is still haemorrhaging views and subscribers daily. Is this the end of MannyMUA?







Laura Lee:

Prior to dramagedon Laura Lee had a consistently growing channel with a loyal audience who kept by her even through her previous (much smaller) scandals. Prior to dramagedon she was getting roughly the same as manny. Getting 13 million views and 117,000 subscribers every 30 days.






Post dramagedon Laura fared a little better. Unlike Manny, she's had days where she has actually managed to gain subscribers but overall she too is on the decline. Laura has received 8 million views and lost 38,000 subscribers in the last 30 days. Her channel too shows no signs of recovering just yet. Will it ever recover?


Why do I believe these channels are still dying?
I honestly believe dramagedon was a catalyst for large swaths of people to discover new content creators since which they've found no reason to revert back. Why go for someone who has a history of being problematic and producing lack lustre content when you've found someone new who better fits your wants from YouTube?

Saving Money As A Student

 Being a student is a financial nightmare. Whether you have credit card debt, maintenance loans, working part time or living off of family support the chances are you are broke. In this article I will break down a few of the ways that you can save money as a student and start paying off debts are saving for a deposit.  Tip #1: Paying yourself before your bills. The idea of paying yourself before bills is often touted as the best way to save money as it instantly shrinks your budget and prevents over spending. But what is paying yourself I hear you ask? Paying yourself means automatically taking a % of your money, whenever you receive it and sending it to a savings account. For most students, 10% is the most comfortable amount to automatically redirect to your savings but if you can afford more then more is better. If you cant afford 10% then try 5%, the effects of compound interest over the course of your degree will grow even that 5% to a nice chunk of change. Tip #2: Form a budget. A

Why Yvie Oddly Should Win Drag Race S11

[SOME SPOILERS AHEAD] If you have not been watching season 11 of Ru Paul's Drag Race Season 11 then you're truly missing out. Episode 1 brought about the elimination of a youtube favourite "Soju" being eliminated in week one and the return of Miss Vanjie. Many of the queens have quickly impressed fans (I have a soft spot of Plastique Tiara, fish and talent/comedy? legend). A rivalry quickly brewed between the loud, outgoing and hilarious Silky Nutmeg Ganache with Ru saying she is a star and the freakishly endearing yet gentle soul Yvie Oddly. Yvie Oddly became my absolute favourite and my horse to back the second we saw that coral umbrella full body pink look. Truly amazing 1) Her Aesthetic.... Yvie has the ability to not only change her silhouette in each and every challenge but at times even the entire theme of the challenge. Yvie has the uncanny ability to take a challenge and force it through her Yvie freakish filter and produce consistently stunning

Utilise The Stock Market To Grow Your Money.

 You might of heard the old adage 'money doesn't grow on trees' and it certainly doesn't (money is actually made out of cotton and linen) but money definitely does grow on the stock market. Now before your heart rate goes up and you click away, hear me out. We have all heard of that person who lost it all on the stock market and went from being a millionaire driving a Ferrari and owning yachts to shaking a cup for change but I can guarantee you that is a rarity and that person was certainly trading in a high risk product. We don't want to be shaking cups so lets be smart and play it safe.  All the stock markets of the world have shown growth averaged out over their lifespan. Yes, the 2008 financial crisis definitely created a dip and the Great Recession most certainly caused a significant dip but the markets always recover. The stock market is entirely controlled by the fundamental law of economics, supply and demand. When there is lots of people selling, the price
