OK this is ridiculously strange. Something is needed to explain this- how the heck does she just so happen to show up at everyone's house? I'm thinking YouTube has organized this with both of them or what? It's just so strange seeing geri with another star. He was supposed to be this semi-reclusive old man in the youtube world, he's not supposed to have young fillies at his house. During this peak, people always said the identity of geriatric is a mystery and he has never revealed who he is or where exactly he is- and now TheHill has showed up at his house? That ruins the geriatric mystique. Beyond that, I'd just like to know what the heck an 18 year old girl and an old man did all day together.
Oh and now (it's currently playing) that they say she's in England interviewing various youtube users as part of a big project it is obvious youtube contracted her.

What? His identity has been known for a long time. He's Peter Oakley, a 79-year-old retired public health inspector from Leicester, England. I don't know when that became known, but it was definitely back in 2006.

Are you suuuure 2006? I do recall no one ever knowing who he was, but truth be told he dropped out of the spotlight quite a bit after his second or third farewell address and though he's still around he's certainly not the rage he once was. I never even really followed him back then so I'm definitely wrong about him now.
I just really don't like the whole extremely unnatural way these youtubers, mainly her, are just jet-setting around doing all these community-building activities which would never be possible without direct youtube orchestration. Are we really just to believe that TheHill travels the world meeting every youtube user there is for her average of 45k viewers? One recent video after a couple weeks only has 9k! The sheer amount of money it'd cost to make all these trips along with the living expenses to go with it is pretty astronomical for a teenage girl with a webcam, so obviously youtube is behind it. But they don't tell us! We are just supposed to assume she is just so dedicated to youtube that she's doing this all for our enjoyment and perhaps a bit more of her own popularity. Something about that just bothers me because it is meant to look real but is actually so blatantly artificial- well then again isn't that how everything is on youtube though
