If God had a Youtube channel it might look like this.
I'm fascinated and appalled in equal measure.
Taina is a 40 year old (Aussie-Finnish? ) vegan, SAHM of ten, living in an amazing house in Finland. Very minimalsitic.
Her aesthetic is very pleasing to the eye, and photogenic, as they all wear white, black, blue or grey and the decor is based on the same colour palette. It gives an almost film-like quality to her Instagram and Youtube videos. Or do I mean advertisement quality? Maybe.
The children range in age from 20 to 6 months. Names: .. from oldest to youngest, Leonardo, Cleopatra, Jerusalem, D'Artangnan, Shakespeare, Romeo, Nefertiti, King James, Aphrodite and, finally Omega.
They are very very religious but you'll only know this from her sometimes mentioning that she's off to read 'the book' and from some of her Instagram posts, and from her husband Paul's old videos. He has uploaded in the past to his own channel and seems to believe in the 'end times' and apocalyptic Christianity. Would like to know more about him but she keeps him out of the videos. You get occasional glimpses. Maybe he prefers it that way.
The kids are homeschooled in the main but the older ones go to college to learn building skills and music. their basement is kitted out with tons of instruments etc. It really is worth watching for the house itself. Her most recent video, Hide and SEek, shows the house.
Thing is, they've blown up on Youtube. A week ago they were barely touching 1000 subs and now, in less than a week they are at 116,000! It's crazy.
Their stats are so new that their Social Blade page hasn't been able to properly reflect their growth yet.
How? Is it just because they are so unique and they've caught people's attention? She has only just started posting on YT, there's been no steady increase, just this sudden explosion of interest.
It looks like someone knows exactly what they are doing as the videos they are releasing now were filmed in the summer time, so they have a whole stockpile ready-made to put out on a daily basis. This is exactly the right way to grow a channel quickly; upload daily as this catches the YT algorithm and you get put on people's recommended lists. Maybe the older kids are helping her as they do all seem quite switched on when it comes to technology. This is no religious cult where the kids are kept ignorant and passive.
I do hope the growth is organic and they're not bought subs.
I fear for them though as they are so charismatic that, out of all the Youtube families, they are the ones I can see fans getting really obsessed with.
Can't abide religion personally, but defend their right to practice whatever it is that gives them purpose.
Just worried that there's usually some pretty nasty beliefs , like being anti choice etc, that can go alongside the nice stuff. I fear they might be in for a backlash that is as swift as their growth if they're not careful.
Love to hear any thoughts.
