And what personality? Please market Lauren's personality to me in a way that would make want to listen to her if I didn't know what she looked like. You know for a fact her followers would be a fraction of what they are if she wasn't an attractive girl. Tell me why brittany pettibone is popular, I'm curious to see why you think she is? Her personality?

I don't think anyone here, for one minute, thinks that her looks did not help jump start her career and popularity.  Of course appearance helps, a lot of popular youtube personalities are attractive people.  The question is how has she managed to keep and then maintain such a huge following, it's because she has something to say and show that people want to hear about.  The reasons I can think off hand, are her making fun of extreme PC culture, attempts at doing investigative journalism, and not being afraid of getting into potentially dangerous situations.  Some of her most recent work I believe was in South Africa to try and cover the deadly farmer killings going on there.

Now I don't follow her and have seen only some of her stuff but it seems to me it's her plain speech and drive to get into the thick of things, despite what other people may think of her, that appeals to people.  Has she made mistakes? Done some questionable things?  Sure, most people have but she keeps going on with her work and has managed to get out some interesting material and stories.

I mean, if you want to go the physical attractiveness argument then you got our buddy Justin Trudeau up in Canada who is well loved because of his looks, nice guy attitude, and of course weed[never underestimate the power of weed :) ].  Nowadays he is one of the biggest jokes of the international community because of his bad policies and stupid mistakes like the now infamous 'peoplekind' [i]joke[/i].  His substance is found completely wanting and a lot of people can't wait for him to go away.  Lauren Southern has a stable fan base and while partially due to her general attractiveness is also largely due to her actual content, stances on issues, and willingness to attempt the controversial[but not illegal] to get certain points across.  She went out of her way to legally become a man in Canada for instance, which is rather creepy how easy it was to do without changing anything about herself.  Attractiveness helps but can only get you so far before people start abandoning them in the droves.

As for Brittany Pettibone...meh I don't have anything really to say as frankly she was barely even on my radar and was only reminded of her existence during this recent travel ban.
