I just saw Ballinger fam post a big reveal vid about going back to California for a charity event (just Chris, Parker and Jacob going) and it got me thinking, do you think they’ll all come back for Rachel and Abby’s wedding? It will be pretty telling if they don’t. Colleen is trying to hold on to dear life of the picture she paints of the perfect family, but there’s clearly animosity between Chris/Jess and Gwen/Tim…

I just noticed Rachel and Abby no longer follow Joy on Instagram 🧐 did I miss something?

Hi, just to clarify - two things. I find it interesting that Colleen. also wanted suggestions from fans, even from Adam. But as far as I remember, she did not ask people to give her money for the "privilege" of then giving her also suggestions?

1. does Adam's Patreon have like a second tear, i think, where people should pay Adam (as is customary on Patreon), but not for perks but to give him video suggestions?Literally is it presented as sthg you pay for? ... I see there is also a flair here in this sub called Video Suggestions. I guess that is at least something that we do not have to pay for, but is it a tier on Patreon?

2. Colleen complained about youtubers using Patreon but now her family uses it too.
   in a similar fashion,
   Adam complained about something else - Youtube is known for filtering various risky words linked to more sensitive topics. Everyone knows that and to avoid de-monetizing of videos, most Youtubers censor, bleep up, etc., such words, which is very standard. Most websites these dates might not display even your comment unless you skip or censor certain words. It is at times annoying, sure, but it is kind of everywhere.
   I've seen a part of Adam's video
   where he criticized youtubers for this. Sure, it is his choice to upload something without any censoring of any specific words - but why insist that it makes him better than any other youtubers? Most people are not exactly rich, many are financially strugging more than Adam, it is normal business to try and keep their videos monetized and therefore bleep certain words. Why was he saying that he is somehow better?

He was implying that the other youtubers do this to spare the viewers' feelings which of course we know is not even true.... The trigger warnings serve better for that - so we can click away completely if today is not the day to listen to something extra difficult for us, sure.
But why judge people for doing the standard practice of bleeping out words?
