U GUIZ WE'RE BEING TROLLED.

And I'll tell you why.

If you were around for or recall the lonelygirl15 business, I was calling fake by the second or third video for two reasons. First was her production values, and second were her commenting habits. The latter is where tamtam has gone wrong.

With LJ15 she (or rather one of the writers) was only replying to comments on the videos that stayed "in game" and completely ignoring any comments calling her fake or asking if she was fake. And then they went on to respond to some comments in later videos, but not those.

With tamtam, she is not commenting AT ALL, which is entirely out of character for a real person with her beliefs. If you browse around the YouChoobes to find other ranters of her ilk you will see that they are just as rabid in the comments as they are in the videos. And even if they're not very frequently so, they at least attack the comments which call them trolls.

And in several videos she does allude to comments or discussions or debates with people or "those stupid atheists" in very vague terms, so it could refer to anyone, not calling out any specific commenters nor engaging in video exchanges with any other rabid xtians or vocal atheists on the site.

And it's all rather impressive, because in the age of the Westboro Baptist crazies, it's rather difficult to get crazy ENOUGH in that subject area to be exaggerated satire. While I'm still not entirely convinced that WBC aren't trolling themselves, but they have set the crazy bar, there.

tl;dr BRILLIANT SATIRE.

EDIT: HA-HA!
