Let’s recap the evolution of the Nadia Sawalha and Family Channel:
- started out with a few cute videos of family including their youngest daughter receiving a puppy
- started to get more views when Kaye Adams joined the mix
- got more views when they included videos of family vacations
- Kaye dropped out
- they posted some enjoyable vlogs of family events and travel, including and exploiting dogs and children (without either one’s consent)
- Manky starts to share more about his mental health struggles and claims he is busy working on projects and investments
- Manky momentarily stops twitching when on camera and starts to review movies
- channel name is changed to Sawalha and Adderley Family Channel; Nittya admits this is Manky’s full time “job”
- M&N start to charge for extra content that they ultimately don’t deliver in any consistent fashion
-Cut to: COVID hits and daily vlogs tell people how they feel and think and all the while they collect money to tell people how to adhere to government mandates
- the Swadderleys go stir crazy and take a trip to Cornwall in violation of all the rules they have been promoting
- when loyal followers ask about why the Swadderleys are violating the rules they’ve promoted and even more followers ask questions about why the continue to violate the guidance they are branded as trolls and blocked
- M&N’s children decide they don’t want to be filmed and the family channel becomes a hot mess of just M&N
- Nittya’s latest book - this one about homeschooling - fails. No surprise since Manky wrote it in a few weeks, but since they were only banking on pocketing the advance it’s a win for them. Manky’s twitching resumes.
- Nittya tries without success to bring in sister Dina and friend Lisa
- Manky grows more defensive and angry and starts claiming more mental health problems
- Nittya’s parents are now largely accessible only through a paywall (the paid channel) - and thank goodness, these 80+ year olds deserve a break
- Manky has a “breakdown” after taking 2 years to complete a 15 minute film no one has seen and Nittya has to push across the finish line by hiring a professional editing space
- hometime and Gardening vlogs become nearly nonexistent and 3 months late and are replaced by live verbal diarrhea and periodic attempts to jump on a bandwagon- working out, 16:8, body confidence, body acceptance.
- ninja and other ads start to feature more prominently on their videos
- Manky starts promoting daily rushes and more movie/trailer reviews. They attract minimal views.
- apologies are issued for not delivering paying family member content
- when there are hometime vlogs they only feature a bitter M&N either sniping at each other or fawning over each other. Nanny Di makes the occasional appearances because Manky is still putting a guilt trip on her for his damaged childhood. Manky decides to post the results of his mother poisoning mice by showing animals dying in pain.
- other content is a clear play to get another cookbook or cooking show, but because they are so poorly filmed they don’t go anywhere, yet Nadia still secures brand ambassador engagements. Olive oil features prominently.
- Manky claims he is learning how to play the piano and become a counselor. Nothing has come of it.
- more undelivered paid for family member content
- Nittya whines about not being able to leave the country yet took a dozen holidays over the past 18 months
- more broken guarantees of exclusive content as it is not delivered, including one weekend where they spent a few days in a multi thousand pound ocean front rental in Camber Sands yet told people they couldn’t post content because they were mourning the loss of an estranged uncle
- channel currently consists of a few livestreams a week and maybe a stale hometime, and more movie/trailer reviews than anyone wants, since no one watches them. (But it did allow Manky to get a press pass)
