    This video was uploaded in 2022 and retitled for 2024 for more views. This growing trend with content creators needs to stop. It’s dishonest and misleading to your audience and viewers looking for updated information regarding the year in the video title.

      Hello. I understand your perspective, but everything I mentioned in this video is evergreen and authentic regarding Manila. I changed the date to 2024 for discoverability purposes. Sorry if it doesn’t align with what your needs, but my intentions are pure, and the information continues to be valuable. I wouldn’t retitle if the information was dated - in that case it really would be “dishonest” and to your point, I also dislike that.

    Did you go to Margate to make this video? I went there a couple of weeks ago to a go a concert and was shocked at run down down it is. Cliftonville isn't any better. I jeep hearing that the place is on the up. They're wrong! I really wanted it to be true as I have gond memories of Margate/Cliftonville having lived and gone to primary school there.

    • @melissalegarda
      @melissalegarda 5 місяців тому

      Yes, of course! This footage is not ai generated haha. Margate has pockets of gentrification for sure, but largely can still do with investment and regeneration. Still charming and definitely on the up like many spots along Kent’s coastline.

    • @daveborder7751

      It is a total dump here--people need to stop buying into the media hype & turning up expecting what their parents or grandparents saw in the 1960's & 1970's, or like yourself were here in those halcyon days-which is what the media promote. It is shocking how far it has gone down even since 30 years back-when it was already well on the slide. All the investment has gone into the Turner so called art gallery & the old town shops around it-mostly rich Londoners selling overpriced arty-farty stuff & Dreamland. The Winter Gardens has been left to rot for years-just been given a paltry sum, the Lido for decades. also the Tudor House & Theatre Royal. The only 'saving grace' for us is that Ramsgate is even worse. If you want somewhere nice in Thanet, then Broadstairs is the place.
