    Freelee started out as a fairly normal vegan YouTuber, however controversial opinions and ideas generate much more interest than 'yeah I eat my TDEE-20%, only without the animal products...and you should totally watch vegucated'.

    She has made a ton of money from her channel as a result of her banana thing and basically being a *kitten* to other YouTubers, creating yet more controversy. The vegan YouTube community is huge, generates loads of money and Freelee is basically the top banana...sorry had to! :D

    As someone who believes that eating mostly, or even only plants can be healthy as well as be part of a more sustainable way of living, and would like to see it become more widely adopted, let me assure you, I know many vegans who find "Freelee" and "Durianrider" extremely annoying and, of course, highly counter-productive (not to mention outright dangerous with some of their pseudo-scientific health advice).

    As to the original question: they are controversial, fit many "vegan" stereotypes, look attractive and are skilled at promotion.
