Does any else watch her videos? What do you think about them? I find her rants to be pretty hilarious. I wish she didn't stop reading AVOS because I want to hear her thoughts on the rest of the series.
[ROF spoilers and lots of swearing]

I like her videos! And I definitely agree with her on the new covers.

Her videos are a mixed bag for me. I sometimes think she's pretty nitpicky, but that's just me. I also don't find her to be very funny, either. And while I get her point about the covers, I personally have no problem telling them apart.

Eh too much mindless complaining and too little actual critique explaining her views in this for me. She started to do it toward the end with the covers but the first half was pretty terrible critique wise. And if that's what she calls making fun of the series' flaws is... sorry, but screaming about how terrible something is is neither satire nor funny. Basing jokes off of flaws and common complaints of a series can be hilarious (and people like, say, Moonkitti, nail this - though even she can very rarely be a mixed bag for me) but this is just shallow.
It's too hypocritical (she didn't even read the book she complains about) and comes of as a bit whiny to be seen as actual critique of the series (which, don't get me wrong, I know this series has and I also agree with some of her points, though I wish she explained why she thinks it's bad better) and it's too unfunny and apologetic toward the end to be seen as satire
I do really hope not all of her videos are this devoid of clear direction because otherwise I'd probably put her in my "stay aways from these kinds of people in any fandom" list
In short: not my cup of tea (at least not based on this single video. I don't know what her other videos are like, I'm not gonna start hating on her, but I'm also not interested in the rest of her videos)

I don't know what her other videos are like, I'm not gonna start hating on her, but I'm also not interested in the rest of her videos) As someone who used to be a fan of her, most of her Warriors reviews are similar to this one: Complaints, bashing on characters, swearing, so on. She doesn't even read them, like Tigerheart's Shadow for instance, and the books she does end up reading she still complaints. She hated Spottedleaf's Heart because of the ****philia thing when that's what the book was about. Honestly the only rants I like from her currently are the Silverstream and Crowfeather ones, that's good analyzing, trying to understand the characters and so on. But the recent ones, she's just been complaining. I don't really like her videos anymore because of this. It's honestly obnoxious.

Honestly she just seems really mean to me. Maybe I'm just being sensitive but in one of her recent videos she called us s.martasses lol. Can't remember the reason though.

Oh I forgot to mention I liked her Dovewing rant too lol. Her actual analyzing videos are good, it's just her reviews I don't like, since all she does is complain, but you get my point. I respect her as a person, I just wish she did proper analyzing & understanding the characters instead of bashing on the books all the time.

She's certainly the opposite of her alias I'll say.

Honestly tho, if u asked me Quiet Rage unintentionally makes herself problematic without realizing. Being a good commentary youtuber, especially, on books means to read them b4 critiquing them. I really don't like how she is bashing the books/Erin's 100% the time. I'm not justifying what the Erin's did, and she did make a few points, but still tho. I feel like Quiet Rage is the type of person who just hate-watches or hate-reads on a series for views...

I could barely watch two minutes of it. Yeah and considering if children might be watching her videos or anyone else sensitive to swearing, she should be a trigger warning for that too :
