It seems the Penguin People have found me. How will I ever survive if Kimberly doesnβt watch my video?

I have an idea that I want to run past my team (iykyk)...
I frequently get emails from folks with stories of scammers and general bad behavior by someone in the bookish community, but often I can't find enough information to make a full length video.
I was thinking of perhaps taking a page out of Hannah Alonso's book, and doing a "horror story" type video from time to time. I want to be able to expose every scammy person/business in the book world (after doing due diligence of course).
What do you guys think? Basically multiple, smaller topics in one video. Would love some input!

Spotted:
Britt Andrews liking Yumoyori's post from yesterday. Birds of a feather, and all that.
You know you love me.

I feel weird making a whole post about this, because probably no one will care, but I got a PO Box!! I've had a few of you ask if I had one, so now I do! Address is down below (again, this feels weird, like I'm asking to have things sent to me?)

I have been a flight attendant for 8 years. Today, I'm in LA, sitting in a brewery working on a script for a video, and I'm just feeling so grateful to have this creative outlet. Flying is great, but it really isn't fulfilling. In the past year, YouTube has filled a huge hole in my life, and it's crazy to me that I'm where I am today with people who are actually excited when I post. I love having a purpose outside of my job, and yeah, I'm two beers deep and a little sleep deprived, but I really just love you all so much and always want to make sure you know it!!

Hi guys!
Just wanting to check in and say I'm here! I'm usually on YouTube constantly, but I've been heavily focused on something else in my life in the past week or so. Hoping to get a new video up by the end of the week :)

So take a looksie at this Reddit post from around 6 months ago. Long before Audra's book was close to release, she was recruiting artists. While clearly she may have changed the terms from this initial post, it appears that these artists aren't actual employees as she's claimed, but gig artists that work when they want to. (I know she's referred to them as both employees and contractors, my point here being that they were never employees.)
"Flexible and high budget due to external funding" is interesting phrasing, but what speaks loudest is her addition of "and the large audience expected." She was really banking on this book blowing up and being able to keep the cash flow going.
Anyways, just something else I thought I'd put out there that I found too late to add into my video.

I am scripting two update videos. Would you prefer for me to wait until I have enough to make them longer (hour-ish) or just go for it?

Book news, drama, and commentary with a side of reviews!
I read across most genres, with the exception of high fantasy and super steamy romance. Other than that, you'll find a little of everything here!
See something you think I'd like to cover?
