Alivia D'Andrea posted nothing new, and the episode she made to close her best-known series more than two and a half years ago is the busiest video on her channel.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
How glowing up ruined my life
"How glowing up ruined my life" is the episode Alivia D'Andrea made to end Glow Up Diaries, the series of video diaries she built her channel around. In its description she explains that she did not have the emotional awareness to understand what she was going through during the earlier episodes, and that she came back with clarity to tell the full story and close that chapter. The video moves through the problem, the solution and the results.
She also writes that being a creator did not cause her body image issues or her eating disorder. She traces them to beauty standards absorbed from a young age, and says the comments she received echoed those ideals rather than creating them.
No new uploads went up this week, and that farewell episode is drawing the most daily views on the channel, close to 7.6 million in total. Two weight-loss videos follow it. One is a short transformation clip from about five years ago. The other is a month-old list of easy tips, which suggests the diary still has new entries coming.
Among the fitness channels nearest her in size, Andrew Kwong, MattDoesFitness, ScottHermanFitness and Men's Health are all drawing well above their usual daily views. Alivia sits fourth of nine by subscribers, at about 2.36 million, a channel she describes simply as a public diary about self care, dating and personal growth.
