There are times and places to display what an awesome body you have and how sexy you are(for any gender)
Never heard of her, never watched her before today. Might as well fire up a video for context, and who knows, I might like it. And I'm immediately met with a graphic of a woman with her pants about to fall off. I will always have trouble taking this channel seriously because of that. A logo says, "this is what we as an entity want you to focus on". Maybe it's IBM wanting you to just know those letters. Maybe it's Stewart Anderson's restaurant with a silhouette of a cowboy: "steaks like they were walking in a pasture right before you placed your order". And in this case: "wanna see a girl with her pants on the verge of being at her ankles, and maybe some side boob?"
Meh, whatever, I for sure have made some poor graphical choices in my life. The video was an interview with some random guy, with her sitting there in a t-shirt cut just below the nipple. All that tells me is, "the content will be weak, so here's a cute girl in a crop top in case you get bored." To me, it's just as non-sensical as a Snap-On tool calendar with bikini-clad women with manicured nails holding an impact wrench. I am confident that those nails have never been with three feet of a lug nut. OTOH, there's no guarantee that she didn't slap on some artificial nails before the photo shoot, after she got off her shift at Firestone auto repair.
Same with the YouTuber woman: her presentation makes it difficult for me to take her seriously, but until presented with solid evidence to the contrary I have no reason to believe the trolls, upon whom the burden of proof rests. Because scantily-clad though she may be, my personal dislike of the presentation doesn't disqualify her from having some "maker chops".
