She has a charisma that many of the other folks do not. Why does one kid get to be class president in high school? Lots of reasons. Whatever it is, Noraly has it.There are so many good riders/travelers who are ridging interesting and maybe no less dangerous places and posting on YT, yet only she gets this much attention. Beats me
Charisma? I don't see it. Do not build yourself an idol.
I only watch her videos occasionally, but I've also watched a number of the other folks who are mc'ing around the world and find something lacking. Regardless what it is, a lot of folks like her over the other bikers.

I think her positive attitude is great and let’s be honest, big beautiful, and expressive blue eyes don’t hurt either.

Fortunately, for some, there are alternatives to view, so they don't have to watch IB. Some 2.8 million others still are watching.There are so many good riders/travelers who are ridging interesting and maybe no less dangerous places and posting on YT, yet only she gets this much attention. Beats me

She's attractive, pleasant, and she is a savvy marketer.There are so many good riders/travelers who are ridging interesting and maybe no less dangerous places and posting on YT, yet only she gets this much attention. Beats me
This is what I've been doing now for 6 years -- marketing.
Keys are:
A formula that works for her. Excellent branding.
Consistent, quality content.
Excellent production quality, improving season over season.
Multiple social channels.
Good website.
She does what she wants.
Ecom store with branded merch.
This is more work than most can ever imagine, and she admits this on occasion.
Single-minded focus on this endeavor; she's not scattering her energy on non-related interests or hobbies.
No need for anyone - even me - to defend her. No matter of, or sometimes BECAUSE of her success, there will always be critics and detractors, but this is not restricted to moto vloggers or travelers, it is human nature.
There is a subset of humanity who will always resent the success of others, and it's always been this way.

Yup. The need to make negative comments on others is rooted in that person’s own perceived inadequacies and insecurities.

I think is was John McEnroe who said; People like success. They don’t like successful people.
That's an interesting response ... interesting because of the actual source of the statement ... as it is found in the Ten Commandments, specifically the second commandment, and is found in both Exodus 20:4-6 and Deuteronomy 5:8. ...
(sidenote: it emphasizes the importance of worshipping only the one true God and not creating physical representations for worship)
That's right.
