I reviewed this on the Erin Plays sub but it’s lost to the ages now.
This is a video that she mentioned in her recent tweet:
There was this time in August of last year where my Spice Girls and Batman TG-16 vids got to 20K PRETTY darn fast! I think notifications were going out to most of my subs. I legit thought that Spice Girls vid would tank since my audience is literally 99% male. Idgi. /rant
What’s “Idgi”? Oh. “I don’t get it.” Well, let’s see if I can help explain.
Okay, so she’s dressed up as some kind of Spice Girl in this thing. Not any of the five actual Spice Girls but just a sort of new Spice Girl. Trash Spice. That might help explain why this got more views than normal.
1:15 – She claims to have purchased a PlayStation just to play Spice Girls: The Video Game.
I don’t believe it. I don’t believe that she ever played a video game in her life unless it was on stream, for money.
Then she thanks the anonymous viewer who gave her a copy of this game at Too Many Games. Couldn’t even be bothered to remember his name. Just some guy. Some horny loser at a nerd convention gave her a game. Why did she accept it? Because she has no integrity. She uses people. It’s what she does.
So she “plays” the game. It’s barely even a game. Nevertheless, she’s still REALLY, REALLY BAD at it. And she fucking half-asses everything. There’s some thing where you have to make a dance routine or something but she doesn’t want to assign the moves again so she just presses random buttons to get through it quickly.
THIS IS HER JOB. Her job is to review Spice Girls: The Video Game. But she puts absolutely no effort into it. This is how she approaches every game she does a video on. Just blast through it, “I never played this before”, okay, done. Now I never have to play it again. Hopefully nobody asks me about this game in the future because I already forgot the title.
39,000 views for this zero effort piece of shit.
Oh, Retro Ali left a comment.
– “Those in-game models are pure nightmare fuel LOL.”
Fascinating.
You know what Retro Ali is doing now? I wouldn’t want to speculate but what she’s not doing is making Youtube videos. 18,000 subscribers. Her latest videos were getting one to two thousand views.
I put Erin Plays in the same category as Retro Ali. They both produce ATROCIOUS content. It seems that Retro Ali has finally given up. I’m all for it. These videos are awful. Go get a job. You’ll feel better about yourself and you won’t be polluting Youtube with these trash videos any more.
If Erin didn’t get with Mike Matei in this disgustingly calculated move to exchange butt sex for Youtube promotion, this would have been Erin’s fate. Just quietly leave the platform. Hopefully get a job. Not a big deal.
But Erin thinks that it’s some kind of problem with Youtube. Subscribers aren’t being notified. “Click that bell icon”. That’s what everyone says when they notice their views going down. Has anyone actually had this problem, though? Your views are going down because the content is bad, not because people aren’t getting notified.
Erin is complaining that her latest videos are “only” getting 10,000 to 15,000 views.
Bobdunga is getting about 3,000 views on average.
Pelvic Gamer is getting about 5,000.
Pam aka Cannot be Entertaining is also getting about 5,000.
Are they on Twitter bitching about these numbers? Erin is getting three times as many views as these women who are producing MUCH BETTER VIDEOS. And these women are actually interested in video games. It’s not a scam for them.
I have my own gripes with these other gamer grrls. Their content is bad, for different reasons. But it’s not even approaching the level of awfulness of Erin’s videos. As I said, Retro Ali produces content that’s about as bad as Erin’s videos.
When I last checked SocialBlade, Erin’s subscribers were down 16.7% and her views were down 31.9%. Whoa! This must be the end of Youtube!
John Riggs is doing pretty well for himself. His numbers are up 450% and 175%. He’s making $8,500 a year. If he was living in Moldova, that would be good money. Erin could only dream of living in Moldova on what she’s making.

So why is John Riggs doing so well? He has a lot of disadvantages. He’s a guy. He’s overweight. He’s pretty old. He’s not sexy.
It’s because he puts out a lot of videos and they’re at least mildly interesting.
I know that he also appears on Metal Jesus’ channel but I didn’t even know that the people who appear in those videos had channels. I only discovered John Riggs’ channel from his incessant posting on every gamer grrl’s videos and social media.
And appearing on Metal Jesus’ channel is analogous to having Cinemassacre (owned by Mike Matei) aggressively promote your channel.
So Erin expects to get John Riggs kind of numbers while putting out Retro Ali kind of content. It’s insane.
She should be astonished that ANYONE is watching this “X looks like Y”, “I never played this before” fucking dog shit. But she has such a warped view of reality that she thinks that she’s producing excellent content that people should want to see. It’s Youtube’s fault.
“Oh, I played a video game, poorly, for the first and last time ever. I deserve $100,000/year.” It’s completely delusional.
This whole idea was idiotic to start with. Anyone who’s telling her that she’s producing good content does not have her interests at heart. A real friend would have sat her down and said, “These videos are shit. Stop doing them.”
Where were her parents during all of this?
Erin: I’m going to move in with the guy who owns the Cinemassacre channel and become a Youtube retro gaming superstar!
Erin’s Father: Umm…honey. Your mother and I have seen your videos and…they’re just not very good. Also, you’ve never played a video game in your life. Are you sure that you want to do this?
Did nothing like that happen?
I mean, she’s a deplorable person who just uses people so I’m not remotely sympathetic but she did fuck up big time. And it’s just astonishing that nobody told her, “Hey, these videos are bad. You probably shouldn’t do this.” Maybe they did but she just didn’t listen. That makes sense, actually. She’s complaining about her views, after all. She’s just completely delusional.
