Agree with everything you wrote!! I wouldn’t have minded if they told us a while ago they were creating a documentary and that it was being put behind a paywall, but for the documentary to also include their 100th country vlog just feels so icky to me. Their whole channel has been leading up to this moment. YouTube is their job, in the last quarter for 2019 they earnt 130k, there is no need to charge people to watch their final vlog! They didn’t even send it to their patreons for free either.I love Kara and Nate! Sometimes they make me cringe a bit but they try to be respectful of different cultures most of the time which I appreciate.
However, this 100 country situation has left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth. People are already annoyed that they left it so long to bring out a vlog but to charge people to come to a party (this is an assumption as I can’t remember if they did or not) and then put your highly anticipated vlog behind a paywall is just a bit too far for me. I understand that they need to make money but Nate posts their expenses and they aren’t exactly struggling...also, they were only able to get to this point because of their viewers and to alienate a group of your fans and call them “meanies” alongside a picture of yourself crying because they are upset is wrong.
I really wish they used the money and donated it to some of the underprivileged countries they have visited or used it to get a group of volunteers out to a country to help - that way they can also use their platform to raise a lot of awareness. Flying the Nest used to do lots of volunteering a few years ago and it was very refreshing!
Completely agree and also think she's quite self indulgent and snobbish at times. Early on in their travels they definitely had the we're too good for this attitude the odd time they had to stay in hostels.She nauseates me... seems to be very attention seeking and almost the tears were forced with dramatic blinking. Seems like she always has this weird almost little kid like smile too
