@tofu I mean the non-transferability of tickets and account requirement may be a problem unless it's explicitly a B2B-only event. At least in any.juristiction with consumer protection laws...

I've got 11 months (assuming the world doesn't end before the next #vidcon ) to try to find someone to go with that
1. isn't going to be creepy about the fact that I'm a topfree equality activist
2. doesn't freak out in crowds
3. gets up earlier than 3pm usually
4. has the free time to go down to Anaheim with me for a week in June
5. has at least some experience holding a camera without it looking like shit
I only have two friends that are even remotely close to meeting this criteria...one I met at previous Vidcons and she'd probably be great at all of it, except that she's a talent manager so she's always busy running around networking and going to panels more aligned with her interests, and the other friend...doesn't do well with crowds, and struggles to maintain anything close to a "normal person" sleep schedule, instead usually waking up at 3pm or later and going to bed around 7 in the morning.... 🙃
Ugh... I'm trying to write a script for my #vidcon 2025 recap and review, but I'm really struggling to come up with pros to balance out all the cons 😭
Mashable: Haliey Welch recorded ‘Talk Tuah’ in front of a live audience at VidCon. It got messy.. “Haliey Welch, better known as ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl, continues to be followed by controversy at VidCon 2025. During a live recording of her podcast Talk Tuah Thursday night, which she co-hosts with her friend Chelsea Bradford, Welch and guest Whitney Cummings quickly lost the attention of the crowd.”
Mashable: VidCon 2025: YouTube legends Hank Green, Rosanna Pansino, and Dr. Pimple Popper reflect on how the platform has changed. “YouTube isn’t the same website it was 20 years ago, and creators Hank Green, Rosanna Pansino, and Dr. Sandra Lee (aka Dr. Pimple Popper) know that better than most. The three creators, who have been on the platform for 18, 15, and 14 years, respectively, […]

Hahaha these MFers really decided to take 30% off industry passes in the last hour 🙃 fuck those of us who bought early, right? #vidcon
Freshly showered... Gonna fit in a Beat Saber workout while I wait for a shed-building kit to be delivered, then stream while I hand-make branded top free equality shirts to wear to #vidcon at https://www.joystick.tv/u/toplesstopics 😁
Never thought I'd live to see the day that something as "family friendly" oriented as the #vidcon newsletter would be positively promoting something like a rival site to something like the infamous #Onlyfans . Normalizing #sexWork has come a long way! (I know vidcon would never allow someone as "patriarchy unfriendly" as an anti-gender-specific-censorship progressive political commentator like me participate in a panel though, despite my twenty years of experience as a #contentCreator .)
Brainstorming a script for a "Topless Topics FAQ" video that I can hopefully get filmed, edited and uploaded in time for #Vidcon next week. I'll try to make it more accessible than angry, even though hearing the same bullshit over and over does wear a feminist activist down (:
Just adding to the ten or so lifetime results for #vidcon in a feeble attempt at finding anyone else who might be going to ask if y'all want to meet up while there...
Still giving me emotional backlash to remember that we had JUST found out about my dad's cancer right before last year's #Vidcon, then after a hellish summer of being his all-hands caretaker, he was dead by November.
Logged into #vidcon in time to schedule meet-and-greets for #DanielThrasher and Aphmau (for the kids, idc myself) ✊ We only get two chances each, and I'm saving my last slot for #GraceHelbig (since we have so much in common) 🤞 I would have liked to meet #HankGreen as well so we could reminisce about OldTube and talk about cancer (given we both have experience with it...) but alas. Maybe I'll be able to somehow schmooze into getting a "Creator Pass" like I did in 2022, but I doubt it, since Vidcon has made getting into the hotel impossible even for high profile Influencers™️ unless they had Industry passes or invite-only Special Guest 😩
(I also hate that FanExpo, the new owners of Vidcon, made the M&Gs a "first come first serve" scramble...continuing the lottery system would have been a lot more fair, except they either needed to be stricter about staying within time limits (I gave up on both MamaTot and Chad Chad last year even though I "won" a lottery spot because the sessions ended without me ever getting up to the front, because the creators are too nice and would spend way too long with each person) or just let fewer people "win" so the lines weren't 200+ people long.
At least it's not the "camp out overnight" model like San Diego Comic Con...which sorry, there is not a celebrity in the world that I would be willing to sleep on cement overnight just in the hopes of getting an autograph, lulz.
(What's also funny is that I bought creator badges for my husband, SIL, and her partner so they can help me chaperone the kids, but I didn't bother signing them up for M&Gs because there are no featured creators they watch/care about, lol) (well...Matthew also watches Daniel Thrasher, but he doesn't care about meeting creators. He'd rather just play dumb games on his phone 😏)
so uh...turns out Grace Helbig, a very OG youtuber, is one of #Vidcon's "featured creators" this year (one of like, five not-tiktokers, lol) so I went to her channel for the first time in years and...she's a breast cancer survivor who gives away sex toys at the beginning of her videos?? So, like...interviewee maybe? (she does have 2.6 mil followers, but most of her videos seem to get under 30k views, so she MIGHT not be as unattainably famous as most of the other featured creators...either way, worth a shot I guess?
