Hello! Just joined to chime in with my thoughts.
I don't know them. In fact, I'm rather new to the whole Disney vlogger scene.
As a native SoCal resident, my earliest and most cherished memories are family trips to Disneyland in the late '60s/early '70s. As a teenager in the 80s, my brother and sister worked at DL, so I was able to go in for free. I spent many summer evenings at the Starcade area in Tomorrowland (apparently a lot of parents dropped off their teens to mostly hang in Tomorrowland). So I have wonderful and fun childhood experiences.
As an adult, you count on one hand the number of times I visited Disneyland. Life just gets in the way. Until recently, the last time I was there was when DCA opened (and I felt I wasted $60 on admission). .
A couple of years ago, I made a trip to DL for the first time in 20 years and had a wonderful time. I decided then to look up Disney on YouTube and first encountered the vloggers... Best Life, Adam, ResortTV, Fresh Baked, JustinScarred, etc. At that time, I actually enjoyed the videos, though I started to wonder what kind of life is it to visit Disney every day. After this initial burst of viewing, I stopped watching as life took over again.
Almost a year later, the pandemic hit, and the parks closed down. I found myself stuck at home and started to watch the vloggers again, including them. It was surreal seeing Spencer and Katie complain about the theme parks closure and how life is hard for them stuck at their beach front home. I found their pity party hard to take-- everyone is being impacted, most a lot more worse than these two. It was also at this time I noticed that Katie is definitely not someone I want to know in person.
It was also this time that they went to Knotts Berry Farm marketplace with Adam, Fresh Baked and others as the Marketplace opened for take-out. Of course, they grumbled that the seating areas to eat were closed off (not understanding what take-out means). The whole crew went to the parking lot of the closed Buena Park mall to chow down on fried chicken and blueberry pies. They violated pandemic restrictions as they shared chicken and pies each other with their bare fingers. The comments on the channels all called them out for it. And of course, Best Life deleted all these comments (to their credit, Adam and Fresh Baked did not delete the critical comments). It was then that I decided that I did not want to watch these two anymore.
I tried to avoid them, but they keep popping up on my recommended feed and in other channels that I watch. In the others channels, Katie always has to be the center of attention. She is so damn annoying. Recently, I was shocked when my recommended feed appears a video of them going to Lake Tahoe. I was like "dont they see the news of the wildfires there?" Curious, I watched and couldn't believe that they willingly and knowingly went to a disaster area. They tried to explain that the AirBnb is not giving them a refund and that they thought the wind would change, etc. Yeah, they went to pity mode again over something that they should have avoided.
More recently, they keep showing up in other people's WDW 50th anniversary videos. Lord, I can not stand Katie's screams. I don't know how others there put up with it.
Reading all the stuff and history about them, I can't say I am surprised, at least not about Katie. I am a little surprised about Spencer, though. He was likeable when I first started watching. But he buys into whatever crap Katie sprouts. She constantly interrupts and corrects him, and he keeps silent about it. And hearing about how he essentially preyed upon her, a married woman, sounds disgusting.
I am going to Disneyland in November. Unlike others here, I hope I don't run into them. I don't want to spoil my experience.
. To quote you, "I love that for you"!
