Liam there are numerous other ways to describe the work she's done and the
audience she attracts. You may not agree with her explanations but she has a
wide following and has encouraged many new users to try Ubuntu, applications
an lots more as she is young and smart. Lets focus on her brain and not
other areas shall we!!
I was trying to summarise what I see as a fairly core weakness and
also her main appeal, while trying to *avoid* using sexist language,
actually.
I have not seen much of her stuff, but what I have seen has been light
on content and poorly-presented. I suspect that her appeal is based
almost entirely on her gender and appearance.
Maybe you're right and this is why they start watching her, but that
doesn't negate the fact that she gets people interested in Ubuntu and
feeling like they're involved and a basis for learning things. They also
stay around and get involved many contribute and get more involved
thanks to her videos. It's also really easy to say "she's attractive
geeky and smart" without mentioning breasts.
