Adam is a really nice guy. So he went back stage years years ago. Nobody got hurt over it people. A lot of hate in this forum.
<edited to remove the "h" word per mod's instructions>
I have no bad feelings toward Adam myself, but I believe the negativity some may see on the various forums is two fold:
1 -- He broke rules. Nobody likes seeing people who think the rules don't apply to them.
and
2 -- He's a Full time vlogger.
This one is tough to nail down why people don't like full time vloggers, I mean, we all watch entertainment. For as long as we can remember in history there have been people who have made their livings off of entertaining others. We just have a new
-ish medium to watch non-pros do the same. So why the negativity? Well, I know myself, I want to see vloggers who demonstrate that they have
skill or
knowledge they're sharing. (I love to learn.) This is easy for the tech and science vloggers I watch, it's all about a specialized/learned skills. It's not so easy for the "going to a theme park" vloggers. Literally, if you have a camera and a computer, anyone can do that. Add to that on this type of Disney-oriented forum, there's probably a good amount of envy going on for anyone who gives up their day job to go to parks all day, LOL. But overall, I think if we are watching these folk, we're looking for more than what the ordinary person will bring to the game. Adam has a oddball personality: he is goofy. But he also brings a bit of historic info into his videos which can make his videos worth watching. Is he the best? Not in my book, but he's not the worst either.
(Side note - the only full time vlogger who does theme parks on a regular basis who I really, really love watching is Justin Scarred. This is just my opinion, so don't shoot me, hehe. He puts tons of effort into researching, writing and editing that I can really see him doing well in the long term. As for the rest... they come, they go. Whomever is popular today will be fodder tomorrow. It's just the way entertainment works.)
Getting back to the topic of Adam being banned: These parks need to set limits for the vlogging community. There are more and more people thinking they'll become full time theme park vloggers, and will break rules unless they've seen them enforced. Universal was right to put their foot down, but they really missed the timing on Adam. As such, this ban may have no effect on others at all.
The parks work hard to maintain a certain image and just one bad clip, one wrong line, not even directed toward the parks themselves can impact them. There are no contracts to keep someone who is a well behaved vlogger today from turning against them in a moment tomorrow. They'll be watching & acting to protect their products.
