I am a fan of Safiya's, but her eating foie gras in her celebrity chef restaurant video like its nothing is really offputting. This was probably not intentional. She did however take more than a month to edit and upload this video, so would it be unreasonable to expect more research on the topic?

Did look like they held up a big doggy bag at the end of every visit so I guess taking some stuff away? They have a small crew with them too, I think so leftovers for everyone.

I've never had a beef wellington 🥲

I just caught up with the live-stream they did on Tuesday. Saf in particular seemed a bit nervous, but it was really cool to see her and Ty being spontaneously awesome with one another. Here's hoping that the live-streams help boost their confidence

Yeah I’m pretty sure they have others with them off camera that help out lol

Bless her for putting vinegar directly on the fish 😬 I didn't read the comments but I imagine there were hundreds of people saying the s&v go on the chips. I don't hate the ha ha ha-ing as it's nice they are having a good time and still like each other a lot.

Their finances must be fascinating. I guess Tyler still has a day job but since they cut back on super regular 20 million view videos I wonder how they're doing. I always enjoy 'We made this many $ year' type content. See Ellbat and her feet pics video, if you like that sort of thing. Not feet, the money 💸

think we had this convo before, but i just watched HopeScope's latest video and i wish saf would do videos more like that. the style of video would be great for her, like how she did the vegas videos for example. i dont care for the over-researched, over contextualized videos - some travel videos that dont feel like theyve been produced for a school project would be a great watch. i really dont know how much longevity there is left in what shes doing, i know they still get a lot of views, but i feel like the ideas will run dry soon
I guess that’s the problem with producing long winded videos but fewer of them, you only need one or two unpopular ones (ie six months of videos really for safiya!) for it to stop people watching.

Who the hell knows? Bugs me because Saf genuinely is my favourite youtuber, I love the effort and detail that goes in to their videos. Compared to the average UK youtuber they are brilliant. Just wish it was a least a couple of uploads a month!
Agree with this 100%^^^^

I think she mentioned in the early part of the video that one of the places they’d filmed was a ‘filming house’ or something like that, ie I took it to mean it wasn’t where they actually lived. With that in mind, I kinda thought it was a safety thing. There’s been some high profile ‘stalking’ cases over the last few years and they’ve clearly got money. So I guessed it was mostly security/protecting her personal life, and possibly insurance.

She just posted an update post on youtube which contained a link to a blog where she explains where she's been:

wow that's a long post.. I skimmed bits, I don't get how they were so chronically behind all the time? even before this hiatus their posts were sporadic at best

I generally love all Safs videos but this one was hard to get through. So much talking! Almost too much information!

Yeah that video had me crying. It’s always so lovely to hear stories about rescue animals and they clearly adored him.

I think they agonise over everything so everything takes forever; I’m not sure if it was discussed on here or GG, but for one of their wedding videos they searched for hours and hours for a specific 3 second clip from Kleinfeld.

RE: loosening up, I really love their engagement video, partly because it was “less polished” and more natural feeing than their regular content. I love their wedding video as well, but it would’ve been extra lovely to see them switch off and enjoy the experience, rather than have Safiya walk through the decoration choices on her wedding day.
Agree with everything here. The Kleinfeld clip is the exact thing I mean about putting alot of pointless shit in her videos. It's just not needed?

I also don't understand why she went through her weeding with a camera like a documentary. She should have switched off and just uploaded whatever the videograoher gave her or not uploaded at all! I did love their wedding but it just didn't seem like they switched off which is sad.

It also means she is unlikely to get new subscribers does it, the whole algorithm really makes it important to post regularly at the same time
Exactly. She used to do long videos once a week so I'm not sure why she can't do the same now? I know she was struggling before with comments she was getting but you're going to get that when you put yourself online.

I’m very late to Safiya and only recently done a bit of a binge watch of her videos. I really like her, even though not every video‘s content is exactly my thing. I loved the Vegas videos, even though I’ve been to Vegas and hated it :D but she makes things interesting, she shows what people want to see and gives useful information.
I have to say it was a good thing she did a voiceover during the footage of the day she thought she had lost her wedding ring in that hotel; she looked like she had been crying all day. But she is professional enough to not dwell on that (especially since it was her fault AND she got it back).
