I rewatched loads of their old vlogs when I had covid a couple of months back and the change in stef is huge.
I think he thrived being a “hipster twit”, zooming round on his Vespa, having bands playing gigs in his living room, random weekday date nights in london, where as Hannah thrives having this kind of pseudo upper class mummy vibe in bath, walking the dogs, eating flax seeds and being in bed with an insta cool book my 9pm.
I think he was sold a lie by Hannah about what their lives in bath would be like, and obviously most of their paid work dried up around the same time, although covid obviously hit all creators in that way.
I think that’s why he won’t do the vlogs that people want- aka Hannah and the kids. Because then he has nothing, no control over anything. He’s the editor, he controls the content they put out and he would rather drive the channel even further in to the ground that accept that viewers like Hannah’s simpler content.
