It is what it is and time to walk away.

I used to support the triplets, but after everything that has happened recently, especially the situation involving Sophia, I’ve completely changed my opinion of them. I’ve blocked all of them, and at this point, I’m honestly done supporting them.

My biggest issue isn’t their relationships. I completely agree that whoever they date, or whether they date anyone at all, has absolutely nothing to do with us as an audience. What bothers me is the way I feel they create unnecessary speculation around their relationships while simultaneously saying that they want their romantic lives kept private.

If they genuinely intend to follow their own words and standards about keeping relationships offline, then, in my opinion, the whole Sophia situation probably never would have become what it is. They could have simply kept whatever their relationship is—or isn't—to themselves and maintained the privacy they've said they want.

What makes me question the speculation is also their history. There have been several girls they've brought around to events, celebrations, YouTube videos, or other content where people immediately started assuming there was something romantic going on. Maddie, Tara, and a few others are examples. Yet, based on what we've actually seen, those people ultimately ended up being friends rather than girlfriends.

So when I look at the past four or five situations where people have tried to connect them romantically with someone they've had around, it makes me less inclined to automatically believe that Sophia is their girlfriend. I could obviously be wrong, because I don't know what happens privately, but I'm also not going to sit around searching for signs, analyzing every interaction, or trying to convince myself of one thing or another.

That’s actually one of the biggest differences between me and some of the people participating in all of this speculation. I’m not going to let their potential relationship consume my life. I'm not going to make videos analyzing every glance, interaction, outfit, post, or appearance, and I'm definitely not going to start shipping two people simply because they appeared together.

Ever since the Sophia situation really blew up, though, it has become the one thing that made me step back and think about how inconsistent everything seems. Not because I care whether they're together, but because of the pattern. Every time they've brought someone new into their content or around their events, people have tried to turn it into something romantic, and historically, those assumptions haven't necessarily been accurate.

Again, I don't know whether Matt and Sophia are together, and honestly, I don't care enough to find out. That's their business. I'm just explaining why, based on the history I've personally observed, I'm not going to participate in the endless search for “signs” that they're in a relationship.

The bigger issue for me is the contradiction. They’ve said they don't want fame, attention, or their personal relationships online, but they continue to be heavily involved in social media and content creation. Matt has talked about not wanting attention or fame in his book, yet social media is still a huge part of what they do. They say they want boundaries, but then situations like this continue to generate speculation because of what they choose to put online.

The Sophia situation is what ultimately pushed me over the edge. From my perspective, the speculation surrounding Sophia and Matt seemed to become much more noticeable around the time of Matt’s book release. Sophia appeared in parts of their birthday content, and suddenly there was a lot more discussion surrounding the two of them. I could be completely wrong, but from the outside, it feels like the speculation generates attention for both the YouTube channel and the book.

And that's another reason I find it hard to take the whole “we don't want attention” thing seriously. If you genuinely don't want attention surrounding your personal life, then the easiest solution is to keep your personal life private. You don't have to confirm or deny anything—you can simply not put it online.

There are also other contradictions I've noticed. Matt has talked about not focusing on or worrying about the past, yet his book seems heavily centered around his past experiences. Again, that's his choice, but it's another example of something that doesn't seem consistent to me.

I've also noticed contradictions when it comes to their supposed “type.” They say they don't have a type, yet their social-media behavior and the people they follow or publicly interact with can give a very different impression. I'm not saying anyone is required to have a particular type, because obviously everyone is attracted to whoever they're attracted to. I'm simply pointing out the inconsistency between what they say and what I personally observe.

Another thing that has bothered me is how little gratitude or interaction they sometimes seem to show toward their audience. Their audience is ultimately what supports their platform and allows them to make money from things like YouTube and books, so I would personally expect more appreciation and engagement.

And then there's the issue of who they choose to surround themselves with. If they knowingly associate themselves with people or families who hold racist views, that's something I personally cannot overlook. I believe the people you consistently choose to associate yourself with say something about your judgment and your values.

None of this means I'm claiming to know what is actually happening behind the scenes. I don't. I could be completely wrong about Sophia and Matt, and honestly, whether they're together or not doesn't affect my life whatsoever. I'm simply explaining why, from my perspective, the entire situation feels immature and contradictory.

At this point, I just don't enjoy their content anymore, and I don't respect the way they handle certain things. They're 23 years old. I personally expect adults that age to start growing up, communicating clearly, and standing by what they say.

This is my opinion before I completely walk away from them—and honestly, from this snark page as well. Everyone is entitled to think whatever they want and say whatever they want. I'm not here to tell anyone what their opinion should be.

But I'm also not going to be participating in the arguments, responding to people, or letting anyone get a reaction out of me over this post. I'm saying what I have to say, and then I'm leaving it there.

After I post this, I'm unfollowing this page and moving on. I'm not going to let their relationships, their content, or the endless speculation surrounding them take up any more of my time.

I said what I said, and I'm comfortable walking away.

I finished Matts book so you don't have to

I just finished reading Matt's book, and it was as shallow as I expected.

The book is a memoir of his life in chronological order, from the moment his mom found out she was having triplets to his current life in LA.

The first part of the book focuses a lot on how his childhood was affected by his first panic attack, especially his 6th and 7th grade years. Even with the help of his family, he couldn't manage to be comfortable going to school.

Matt gives more context about their family in general, and we can see more of how loving and caring their parents are, especially how their mom was always there for him, even if it affected her job.

He highlights therapy and medication, and how they helped (or didn't help so much). However, don't think it's a self-help book in any way. I think he tried to make his audience relate to his story rather than give any help.

As the book continues, he talks about sports, high school, COVID years, and the beginning of their Youtube career.

It ends by talking about his life in LA and how fame affected him.

The book is very shallow, I read it all in less than 5 hours. You can see how, even with the help of the editors, Matt is not a reader and struggles to organize his thoughts and discern what to put or leave out on the page, which is reflected by the size of the chapters, for example. Also, you can tell how he didn't have a lot to say as a 23 year old, it feels like he is still stuck in his school drama.

And if you're expecting some drama about Laura, forget it. He does nothing but say positive things about her and Maddie. He also doesn't focus on any friendship or relationship drama with anyone, and barely mentions his LA group.

He gives some insights here and there about fights he had with Nick and Chris, but in a very childish way.

Basically, if you were keeping up with their channel, there's not much news in the book that's worth reading.

Some of y’all need to check in with yourselfs a bit

And I mean that from a respectful place. I unfortunately think this snark has been infiltrated with fans or people who sit in an weird inbetween with their feelings towards the triplets. Idk but what I do know is the extreme parasocial denial around any inkling of anything possibly going on between Sofia / Matt is jaw dropping to observe. The mental gymnastics some of you will do to disprove shit is pretty insane. Regardless if you think any “evidence” that’s been posted holds any weight or not, can we not just openly discuss it without people coming up with rather ridiculous reasons to “debunk” things? This is coming from someone who reads and also agrees with possibilites of Sofia / Matt not being together, but some of y’all approach the conversation when attempting to disprove things with an overwhelming amount of delusion behind it. And most of you don’t even realize how you sound either, I’ve seen comments where you can tell the person commenting is literally trying to cope 😭 and It doesn’t even feel like any distain for Sofia particularly or any valid snark towards Matt, it’s just people desperately wanting Matt to be single. He is a 23 year old man who has been in a relationship before, he is going to eventually have a girlfriend at another point in his life folks. Especially since him and Chris (who’s terrified to date) openly talk about futures that involve children which also usually involve a wife. If he is dating Sofia y’all are going to be okay, you will live, life will go on. Same case if he isn’t dating her. I sincerely believe some of you need to face the hard reality that he will never know you and or choose you.

I think it would be a cute idea. I guess we shall see.

They are not always consistent when it comes to things, so it will be interesting to see if he actually follows thru with putting it on t shirts or making merchandise of it. Only time will tell.

The Triplets being hypocrites

I made a comment about this on a post a few days ago but got downvoted. I just came across a video talking about the same thing but it's not the best video it only has one example when there are in fact many examples. Nick talks about being filmed on the plane and how it's weird and wants to set boundaries (which I agree) yet in their birthday vlog they filmed multiple people on the plane and in the airport. I didn't get far into the video so I'm sure they filmed more people.

Now I've watched YouTubers blur others in their videos or crop them out which I applaud I think more should do the same. People think they can film whoever they want and post them online bc they're "in public" but it's just common decency to not post people without their knowledge or consent. Now I know it's not easy or maybe even possible for YouTubers to blur every single person that ends up in their videos especially if they're several feet away and not that visible I'm not saying they should never film in public again or they have to blur everyone. I'm simply saying you can't complain someone posted a pic or video of you online when you do they same

I recently posted about this fan being maybe inappropriate due to the following reasons but I think this video changed my mind

So a lot of people are coming for her for being 36, married with a child and having a whole account dedicated to dedicated to the triplets

I initially thought it was weird because she posted very invested things about the Sofia and Matt rumours and something about Chris being attractive, and a lot of posts about Matt, also a video of her clearly coercing her 3 year old to say he loves Chris etc etc

But this video has me on the fence because of the things mentioned, obviously post natal depression is no joke and the autism hyper-fixation is understandable

People have brought up that she’s interacting with a fan base which are all in their teens mostly, but is it harmless if it’s a fandom?

This is a snark sub, not a fan sub.

I went looking for links to the Sturniolos fan subs to help those lost fans who are here on Snark downvoting all the comments. Here are the links:

r/SturnioloNation

r/SturnioloTriplets

These subs seem dead, right? That's because you're wasting your time downvoting here instead of being there being fans.

It's not that users who are still fans aren't welcome here, they are. But people who come here just to downvote and disrupt Snark's progress are not. I see posts here that clearly exhibit fan behavior, and comments that are clearly just fans praising them. No discussion, only compliments. And then when someone criticizes them, they end up receiving downvotes or people disagreeing. I think a lot of people here are losing track and forgetting where they are. So, just to remind you: This is still a snark.

And if it's going to turn into a fan subreddit, let me know right away, so I can unsubscribe and save myself some trouble.
