Y'ALL- THANK YOU.
Like many others on here: you all have changed the way I see this family. It's weird how it took for Asa today saying "there's groups online that love to pick on us, especially Priscilla", for me to go "oh wait, what could they be saying??". Came here and have spent the last few hours poring over threads 1-3. Couldn't agree with you all more now that I've had a second to go back and take a look at what's really happening, instead of just zombifying myself with their content and thinking "Aww, cute new puppy!", "Aww, Abbie looks great in her dress!", "Beautiful new house!"... ugh. So blinded- just kinda glad I never got to the point where I was forking over my own money to them.
I'd watched them regularly (at least every few days) for about 6 months. Up until about a month ago, I'd been sooo oblivious to how they're using that channel NO LONGER as a teaching element, but as a SHOWCASE of how much their lives have changed since gaining popularity. I began to wonder why I didn't watch their stuff as regularly these days... Then all of this drama stirred up this week. When the video came out earlier (still haven't read/heard all of the details on what's going on with that), I did a quick google search and found this forum and thread. I've unsubbed to FA.
This is so ridiculously similar to another family or two I watched and initially loved on YouTube. They are now so deep in it that it seems like they don't care about much more than increasing their payouts and fan base. It's really disheartening.
Anyways, thank you all for calling them out on their increasing BS- maybe they will use this time to reflect on what they've done so far, and what they NEED to figure out if they ever hope to continue on in a positive light.
. Holy fan base hell!
