PREMIUM: I Need Your Help.
It's time to fight back against the radical Left's censorship culture.
When I first started my YouTube channel, I was confident that I would be able to support myself like other YouTubers.
Then I came out as conservative.
There were positives and negatives to my decision. On the positive side, I could talk about things I actually cared about, I didn’t have to hide my beliefs, and I was creating a community for conservatives who view life from a classic perspective. I finally felt like I was doing what I was meant to do. On the negative side, I dealt with an extreme amount of hate, I lost friends, and…my content was kept away from you because the radical Left thinks you don’t have the right to watch what you want.
All of a sudden, it was clear why subscriptions were so important for conservative creators. We are pulled from platforms because the media has an agenda - and we don’t fit into its narrative. Sponsors are bullied away from us by threats of boycotts by outside activists or by woke mobs within their own companies. Just recently, YouTube refused to run my ads at the same time that my views were cut - only for the problem to mysteriously disappear a couple of weeks later. A month before that, a sponsor was driven away by wokesters raising hell that the company would dare support a conservative. And other YouTubers, even those who are secretly sympathetic to conservative values or have no political affiliation whatsoever, can’t collaborate with me on something as simple as a makeup look because the Left would go after them with pitchforks and torches just for speaking with an open conservative.
And that’s why conservative creators depend on subscriptions and direct support from their followers. We CANNOT depend on Leftist companies to treat us with the same respect as they would Left-wing creators. It’s become very clear in the last few months that social media platforms like Twitter, YouTube, Patreon, and others are silencing views that don’t actively support their agenda – and when potential sponsors are scared that cancel culture can take them down in a matter of days for daring to defy the Leftist mob, why would they risk working with conservatives?
In today’s day and age, there is so much free content available on the internet, it’s hard to justify having to pay someone for what you watch or listen to. But the only way you’ll continue to get the content you love from conservative creators is through your direct support. Already we’ve seen great examples of conservatives who have taken the leap and are thriving. Look at Louder With Crowder – Steven Crowder has been demonetized indefinitely by YouTube and the subscriptions to MugClub keep him going. Look at Jordan Peterson – he used to be on Patreon (he left because of their censorship policies) and now the support he gets directly through his website enables him to continue writing and speaking. Look at Bari Weiss – she was driven out of The New York Times by a Jew-hating leftist staff revolt and now she’s more successful and influential than ever doing reporting from her own Substack platform.
I’m bringing Classically Abby to Substack for this very reason. Conservative men and women deserve to see the classic content they love. We are taking another big step forward in creating this community for conservatives, where we can look at lifestyle and culture with an appreciation for tradition and timeless values. You’ll be part of the new frontier of the conservative movement - not just directly supporting it through your subscription, but shaping it by your involvement here on Substack.

What You Might Have Missed At Classically Abby…
Classic Fashion Inspo
Does the idea of mixing and matching prints sound scary to you? I’ve learned some basic rules over the years - and this outfit displays one perfectly! I recently purchased this blouse because I realized how few tops I actually have in my closet. Although I knew I could wear it with jeans or a pencil skirt, I was curious to see which of my dresses I could tie it over - and when I saw this dress, I realized it would be perfect!
So, here’s my first tip: when pairing patterns together, pair very LARGE patterns with very SMALL patterns. The pattern on my top is tiny and almost could be taken as a neutral from afar. The pattern on my dress is HUGE. So…these pair together perfectly!
Things I’ve Been Loving: Headphones
My workout headphones finally breathed their last breath, and it was time for me to replace them. I hopped on Amazon and found these amazing headphones and they’re great! They were very affordable and after talking on the phone, I know the mic works well too. Definitely worth checking out!
