I used to really love watching
Tyler and Todd, but now they’ve totally lost me. I found their channel when they were just starting to travel in their used, renovated trailer. It was great…I enjoyed their personalities and the idea of traveling and seeing new places. When COVID hit, they headed back home and decided to settle in Nova Scotia, living “off grid.” They lived in their trailer and “roughed it” for a while before deciding to build a permanent structure…a geodesic dome to live in while their container home is built. They always gave off the “we’re struggling to make it” vibe…so they did a lot of their own work, and even made their own wine and planted a garden to grow their own food (they are vegan).
But now they’re becoming victims of their own success. They decided to build a container home because “the price of lumber is so expensive”…but have you seen how much lumber is actually in that container home? Then they added a huge amount of square footage to the container home…the excuse was that their contractor didn’t allow enough room for a landing at the top of their circular stairs. REALLY? So you had to almost double the square footage and add that huge stair tower (all constructed out of the “expensive wood?”). They also added a pool and hot tub to the project…constructed of concrete offsite and then brought in and set with a crane. One of their older dogs, Charlie, has had many expensive medical issues including Lyme disease, kidney problems, and most recently an issue with his hip/leg that required surgery. So what did they do now? They bought a new cabin on a lake, close to their other property, so that “Charlie has a comfortable place to recover.” Again….REALLY? They couldn’t just bunk with Todd’s parents for a few months while Charlie recuperates? They had to buy a house on a lake instead? I’d say most people couldn’t afford to treat their pet to all these medical and surgical procedures.
Clearly they’ve been a YouTube and Patreon success. But a lot of people joined when they portrayed themselves as struggling and scraping by. Now they’re spending large amounts of money…always with an excuse that’s usually flimsy. One viewer posted a comment saying they’re unsubscribing to the channel because they’re not relatable to him anymore…and I totally get it. But
Tyler & Todd’s response really surprised and disappointed me. They said their response isn’t intended to be disrespectful …but then go on to write a disrespectful response (the response sounds like Todd wrote it to me…he’s shown he can be a little
witch when he wants).
Look at the comments and response, below. These aren’t the only comments that question what’s going on. And the reply isn’t a good look. Very sad because I had really liked them.
