I couldn't agree more with the comments here, both in general and especially about last Sunday's vlog. I suspect that vlog never saw the light of day prior to Sunday because Nicki knew the moment she edited it a couple of years ago that it was horrible! She found herself without anything to vlog about, as she was in England for a week (I follow her on Instagram ) and "magically" found this horror of a vlog. Do better, Nicki!

The vlogs used to be better when they just filmed their everyday life, showed some nice views, their garden, cooking etc. I even like Nicki‘s wedding content (despite the dirty makeup palettes she takes with her, ew), because usually the locations for those are stunning.
But as it was said upthread, ever since Carlo retired, it all went downhill. Nicki seems more irritable than before and now also behaves like a retiree. And it’s not like she used to work herself to death before, with her only working in the summer.

Just watching the latest video... yet more witching about people... her career as a makeup artist, the people they have staying in their little air bnb are all based on tourism. I hate crowds too (I live in london) but wouldn't complain so much like she does on such a public platform.
That vegetarian pasta with the fake meat nuggets

Thought the same about dissing the tourists. Those nuggets looked rank, her cooking is perfectly adequate family fare, only the quality of the produce rescues it from being several variations of slop. Still people want the "recipes". Carlo only ever makes pasta al forno and seems to eat at least three servings of dolce per day, he looks all puffy from carbs, not enough stairs in Positano to burn off his intake.Just watching the latest video... yet more witching about people... her career as a makeup artist, the people they have staying in their little air bnb are all based on tourism.

The Aussie guests must've been top-tier Patreons, booking on Airbnb gets you the room, sign up with Nicky on Patreon for a place on the lunch bench and featured on the vlog.
There were so many comments on YouTube asking after Pepe, I wonder if N or C will respond and say how he's getting on. This would at least show some respect to this older man whom they mockingly filmed and used for content, posting the old footage with a dunno-what-happened-to-him shrug.
This disgusts me more each time I think about it. If she does give an update I bet she'll not acknowledge those who called them out as exploitative, she'll just give some mealy-mouthed comment; Thanks to so many of you who asked about Pepe and wanted to hear more, he's fit and well, still growing orchids blah blah. But if dear Pepe is no longer with us we won't hear a word, he'd have served his purpose to them, emergency content while Nicky again travelled tothe UK England.

@emm Came here to say just that about the floods, so incredibly tone deaf. Let's pray for the victims of the May rains in Positano, disappointed tourists with their flimsy clothes and wet feet, and grasping vloggers with nothing to film.
Patreon mentioned again, emphasising they're a small group, so exclusive, to keep that parasocial relationship going. She asked them to suggest what she might film while it's raining, many told her to take the week off. Some Patreons had the chance to preview her book and give feedback but, as it was all positive, she thinks it's because they're fans and wanted to be nice. The book will be full of tortured purple prose like her voice overs. Soon to be released on Kindle.
We were not disappointed on the tit cookery front, the fruit crumble she made (demonstrated in a desultory and patronising manner) looked as dry as a bone, presumably the lashings of squirty cream was to keep Carlo's calorie count up.

And what a weird thing to write, no? I mean, getting food served on the beach doesn’t seem to be a crazy thing in a place like Positano. I feel like she wanted to write something else about them, since she usually likes to make snide comments about other women (or their outfits) in Positano, according to herself.
Yeh it came across as a really witchy comment imo
It was definitely witchy, specifying "girls" was unneccessary. Ordering food to your sun lounger is no big deal. She'd think I'm a right wanker, I had sashimi and wine delivered to my blanket in the park on the weekend.
That sounds amazing!
I'd be more inclined to pay for that kind of contentIt was. Should've filmed it and set up a Patreon!
Seems to me yesterday's vlog was a bit of a Tattle press conference. Announced that they don't refer to various stories in the news, eg the floods in Italy, as their vlogs are escapism for viewers. A very disingenous defence, criticism was that the entire theme of their previous vlog was how the rains affected them - poor things had nothing to film and wet bored tourists were everywhere. So completely tone deaf as that week's topic. Plus they patronisingly and sarcastically advise that there are many mainstream news outlets one can get news if needed. 
She's desperately trying to reel things back, pointing out their original intention was just to show their lives, keeping it real with yard work and lots of picking veggies, a rare lunch on the beach on a day with no work commitments - not so hard for pensioner Carlo.

I've finally unsubscribed that latest video just made me angry. "We just wanted to film our lives" is very disingenuous anyway, this is how it seemed initially but its very clear she wants to make as much money as possible for as little effort as possibleSeems to me yesterday's vlog was a bit of a Tattle press conference.

I don't blame you @emm - I can't unsubscribe as I never subscribed
BIB - yeah right. If they just wanted to film their lives they'd not be worried about scraping content every week to meet the hungry YT algorithym upload schedule.
She has 484 Patreons. There are 4 levels, buy me a cappuccino /a dessert /a pizza /a bowl of pasta, once a month. Not sure why the thumbnails there are huggy photos of her and Carlo. She is "blown away and humbled" that so many people have taken up the top tier. Her saying this is to normalise such expenditure, to encourage others to follow suit, stoking the parasocial relationships where the Patrons want to feel extra special and get her attention.
Seems very off that she uses the "will work for food" analogy when they live in a grace-and-favour family property that produces large amounts of fruit & veg, they also run an Airbnb there, he has a workplace pension, she owns and rents out a London property and makes presumably several hundred Euros a time doing bridal makeup.
Exactly they are probably earning loads relative to their spending, especially if you consider they grow most of their own foodI don't blame you @emm - I can't unsubscribe as I never subscribed
