peteykirch - you are correct on all accounts. They're quick to purchase - and flaunt - a $2,000 Gucci sweater, high-end thermostats (with digital photos), expensive dinners and brunches, pricey babyware (that they post with affiliate links), etc. but then are cheapskates when it comes to atoning for their "sins."

I don't care what people have, really - I don't. However, when you put your entire life on the internet - and are showy in that respect - expect objective criticisms.

Similar to your Goodwill example, I also recall humble brags when they would overtly show us they purchased a new enclosure for the capybaras at that animal sanctuary they visit, money they donated to Give Kids the World, etc. Don't show - just DO. I'd have more respect for them if they did.

I recall someone also gifted them $500 in a superchat (or something of that sort) for them to go to Victoria and Albert's for dinner. I simply couldn't. I'd do everything in my power to return that money, rather than flaunt it for a free meal, make a vlog out of it, and further monetize it to the hilt.

Also, yes. I am familiar with Tiffany Ann. She is a piece of work, indeed.

I don’t have a problem with people doing stuff that makes them money but the hypocrisy of them saying they won’t do re opening and doing it, really annoys me. Not even like they said they’ve changed their mind!

Well they can’t say they’ve changed their minds, because this would draw attention to the statement that they weren’t going to park openings in the first place. And they hope that by staying quiet it’ll be swept under the carpet.

They also know that they cannot come up with a decent excuse for changing their minds. With cases as high as they are in Florida at the moment, there is in no way they can justify that they feel safer.

I loved how the Trackers pretended to be dumb about disabling Super Chat on YouTube until like 2 months ago. They kept begging people not to send money, but people kept sending money anyway. Every 2 minutes Tim would be like "HOLY MACARONI DING DANG" because someone gave them free money. Yet, they never gave money back to people. Once again Tiffany Ann came swooping to the Trackers rescue and said all super chat money went to charity. I didn't realize she was also their tax accountant.

I remember the one guy who gave Tim $500 so they could eat at V&A, what a waste of money and food for to spend on the Trackers, especially Tim who has a less refined palate than Steve Porter formally of the Dis Unplugged, and that's saying something.

Yes. Steve "Mac & Cheese" Porter. You're right on the money with that comparison.

Tim is pushing 40. He needs to start to retire those cutesy phrases such as Holy Macaroni, Ding Dang, etc. I never was a fan of those but as he ages, they will only become more strange to utter. Not to mention, the "weeeee" "wooooo" "hooohoooo" on every ride as he films. That behavior doesn't age well either.

That being said, I often wonder what the long-term strategy is for so many of these Disney vloggers. Do they plan on doing this into their 50s? 60s? Those such as Pete Werner have developed business models that seem to be conducive to longevity. However, is Tim planning on doing extreme coasters for the next 10-20 years? Or will they transition to a business model that includes 1/2 a Disney cupcake update and 1/2 a Jackson vlog as the two of them age - and then ride off into the sunset with their money?

Platforms such as YouTube could or could not be here for the long haul and I, for one, would never purchase an almost half a million-dollar home such as the Trackers have, Michael Kay has, etc. - being solely reliant upon money gained from an internet-based venture (that is concurrently reliant among another third party as having the bulk of my content, i.e. theme parks) that could all be gone tomorrow. I think that COVID-19 and the shut down of the parks have been a major wake-up call for many of these vloggers.

I didn’t watch but the account seems to be a troll account with an axe to grind. Also the videos were uploaded 2 months ago so it’s not like this is late breaking news.

 

[2020planner]

Jenn who never does anything, says it nice to go on a vacation and do nothing....She needs a break from her break y'all.

Wow. She said that?

How out of touch... how unaware... how clueless ... do you have to be to make such a statement right now. Knowing the "job" you have. Knowing there are people who have lost their jobs. Knowing there are people who are sick and dying.

But hey, y'all! Jenn gets to go on vacation! Because when was the last time she could just get away from it all!??!?!

 

[nrs264]

Ok, so I broke down & watched the video with the current set of friends they are taking advantage of. I just had to see this ridiculousness for myself. I haven't watched them since probably April. I quit them cold turkey after years of daily viewing because I was over their fear mongering in the early days of the pandemic. I googled "TheTimTracker annoying" because I thought I couldn't possibly be alone. Lo and behold, I found Guru & all the past Twitter drama, etc.

That video. I mean, is that what they have been putting out the past few months? GAG. Who would be entertained by that? It was the stupidest pile of crap. Paint drying would be more interesting. I ended up skimming because I couldn't take it.

First, Jackson is absolutely adorable. I loved that stage with my kids. Old enough to have personality, but not mobile enough I have to be running after them all day. But 90% of the vlog was the camera shoved in his face while his parents make stupid voices at him. Also, for better or worse you can tell that kid is already getting used to constantly being on camera. I'm a mom. Plus a foster parent. I LOVE kids. I do not want to watch this. That isn't family vlogging & it isn't entertaining or compelling.

Second, clean your freaking house. I don't believe in houses needing to look like a model homes constantly. Homes (especially those with children) should looked lived in. At one time my husband & I were raising 8 fosters plus our 3 bio. Our house was 100x cleaner & more organized than that house. No excuse.

Third, that picnic was all kinds of WTF. I don't understand masks in the open air while social distancing with another couple who also hasn't left their house since March (or at least minimally). Some may disagree with me on that, but I feel that's overboard. And when they were packing up...you would have thought they were freaking camping. When Tim panned around the yard to show them all packing up, I was like...is this the Oregon Trail? Did I miss something?


TL;DR Watched the first time since April. I'm just ranting because they are ridiculous.

lol that's what I googled but using Adam Hattans name instead of Tim's and how I found this ite

 

[saraaaah90]

These two are so unbelievable. Tim and Jenn should run for some sort of political office, because they are so comfortable lying and completely fabricating pure insanity. Their stans just eat it up too. I happened to be on Reddit for something, and I figured I’d see what shenanigans were happening on their subreddit, or whatever it’s called. Someone asked if the Slackers ever collaborate with the DIS team. Tim and/or Jenn claim there’s this weird “phenomenon” around them that causes their haters to go after the people/channels they collaborate with. The stans, of course, eat it up and believe it. This is some North Korea cult of personality BS, and about as believable as people protesting the pregnancy announcement. I hope, one day, all their followers realize what frauds these two idiots are.

I have been wondering about that? Why don’t other you tubers collaborate with them? Does anyone have the exact details?Also if no one wants to work with them why did Adam and Cory? talk to them and say hello?

 

[Desdemona]

He went for views/$$. If he intended to go all along why make a video man-splaining to us why he would not be going?

Of course he did, I wonder if he just went that way because of Jenn. Then when they noticed how they probably aren't making the same amount of views/money and things were slowly opening up again he decided to risk it.
Their videos are rather long winded for me now, I notice that Tim will repeat himself at different places - which I think Jenn should have edited out. I have started to view a few of Prince Charming Dev videos which tend to be basic, to the point but lacks a gimmick.

 

[havinalol]

Wow, that's awful!

Yep they also had problem with people stalking them and their friends and family hence why you dont see friends or family in vlogs.
Tim also got huge backlash online for the Gucci disney cardigan he bought

 

[peteykirch]

I’m not really one to criticize people’s looks, especially since I’m no hunk of the month, but the comments saying that Jenn is so pretty really make me gag. So, she finally showered, washed her hair, and put something other than an oversized t-shirt. It’s nothing to throw a parade about. Plus, quite a few people have mentioned she’s “glowing” and speculating she might be pregnant again. Further proof she was lying about her infertility, perhaps?

Oh man if Jenn got knocked up again, they would be screwed. They struggle enough with just Jackson, throw in another kid get prepared for home vlogs 350+ days a year.

 

[2020planner]

Tim would still be in the job he had - that was never disclosed, but I think rumours were that it was to do with him working with disabled kids? - because his YouTube channel kicked up.
I was looking at there views, the mail vlogs weren't doing that great, like I think the lowest was 57k? But then the recent park visits was like 338k (approx), while videos with Jackson does get the views about 100k+. Likely they will probably need to figure out where they want to go with the channel to get more views, mail vlogs will either stop, or they might make them added on to the regular vlogs instead.

Supposedly Tim worked at the Orlando Science Center. This was disclosed by someone a loooooong time ago on Guru, I believe, who had stated he previously worked with Tim and he was an OK guy to be around (at the time) but Jenn was basically [still] a bitch. Now, if Tim worked in the education department or something with regard to disabled children, I'm not sure. But the going thought was it was at the Science Center. (this would also explain a handful of vlogs at the OSC years' back and his major interest in them)

Don't they also have to pay for the PO Box?
Seems so sad that there was people who were sending them things, sending them letters and cards of appreciation and they just never bothered with it. Granted that would have been another of Tim's responsibilities on top of him working in his job and filming at the parks, along with - at the time - working on that house.
Jenn seems to have gotten a rather easy life being married to him.

Yep. I used to have a P.O. Box. You pay for it. I believe I paid for like a 6-month thing and then they'll put a notice in your box when you have to renew. I'm sure there's variations of payment options, i.e. monthly, 6 months, 1 year, etc.

There is ZERO excuse for them not opening the mail in a timely manner (and they closed it way before Jackson was ever conceived).

Tim left his "real" job years and years ago. Jenn just sits on her butt all day "editing" and watching reality TV. If she ends up at the parks with Tim (pre-Jackson), that'd be a day out for her; likewise for Target days, etc. They're simply lazy and only do the minimum and / or only do something if the big dogs come calling (i.e. Disney). You do what you WANT to do, and they just couldn't be bothered with opening it all up.

Tim specifically said in an old vlog that Jenn didn't need to work or drive and that he was her husband and he'd "take care of her." So he's got that dominance thing over her (this was even before he quit the "real" job) where he probably helped to nurture those anxieties in her (real or imagined) and further set her on a path of having to rely on him for everything.

They both are manipulative in their own way. For someone who's watched them for years and years, it's painfully obvious though they hide it well and seemingly none of the stans have picked up on it. There's been so many instances when she's put him down, made fun of him, overtook a conversation, told him he was wrong, manhandled his ideas, etc. But then he seems to have the upper hand in basically controlling when and where and how she goes anywhere.

Really strange and not a healthy relationship.

 

[peteykirch]

I’m unsure of the way influencers have to disclose things like that in the us, here in the uk everything has to be very obviously marked as #ad #gifted etc , maybe it’s not the same in the states?

In the US it's only a moral obligation, and since the Slackers have no morals they really don't see the need.

 

[peteykirch]

I agree, except she / they used to cook in their old vlogs, make lunches, go to the grocery store, etc. aka being normal.

I truly think they believe they're both way too busy (which is absurd) and simply lazier now.

Also, you know they think highly of themselves as the supposed apex of Disney-centric YouTube vloggers (which is an absurd statement, in and of itself), so they probably think they "earned" not having to be "bothered" with going to the grocery store - gasp! - like the "common" folk have to do.

I honestly don't want to see anyone on the streets, but I am SO looking forward to when this entitled Disney vlogger "job / lifestyle" is a thing of the past.

If the Youtube vlogger thing goes down the drain, imagine the two of them trying to become Disney Travel Agents or something...then again these two know next to nothing about Disney.....However that didn't stop Sean from the DIS becoming a Travel Agent and Real Estate Agent, if that head filled with bricks can "do it" the Slackers should be able to as well.

 

[SheDaisy]

So....I'm like 2 minutes into their Live Stream, and Tim is like "we don't want to film other people at the pool".....did him finally have a kid of his own made him realize how creepy it was to film children at the pool/water parks?

It is comical how afraid he is of the music playing in the background which would demonetize their precious income from this video. Which then makes Tim do these annoying screaming voices to cover up the music.

Nice to see they finally remembered to bring Jack$on a hat...Tim calls his stroller an umbrella stroller, no Tim it's not an umbrella stroller. It's just slightly smaller than their enormous regular stroller.

We get an update that they might be taking Jack$on to the Parks in a little over 3 weeks. Jenn doesn't seem thrilled with the idea, but I can see Timbo bringing him along because of money.

That's all he is, a money pot. That's the reason they bring him everywhere.

 

[Chandler Bing]

LMFAO

I didn't realize Molly from All Ears got footage of Tim falling at MK

HAHAHA

This is glorious

OT but I LOVE Molly!

 

[Icemaiden01]

Didn’t Adam access an area which was out of bounds (I want to say something to do with Nickelodian) at Universal and something to do with the old river country park at Disney?

 

[peteykirch]

My guessing is that because their channel is normally geared towards kids - at least from what I always noticed in the comments is parents saying how much their kids LOVE watching them - they were losing views because kids don't care about home vlogs, and why would parents care about a family vlog when they have kids of their own and want them to be entertained?
Re-opening days is guaranteed views essentially, given that I think does YouTube full time now - guessing given how often he's at the parks - they would need the money to keep the cash flow going.

Oh I know why they are doing it, because their home vlogs pull in miniscule numbers compared to themepark vlogs.

It's just another in the long line of lies and empty promises from the Slackers. I'm shocked they kept up the "Mentioning a charity" outtro as long as they have. I figured it would've been a one a done.

 

[saraaaah90]

I am getting to vibe Jenn wrote that post not Tim. Look at the spelling. I have seen a couple of her posts and she likes to use big words.She needs to feel in control of things. I am sure it has something to do with trying to not look bad. They have also reeked of desperation lately with their videos. I think they are seeing the impact of Covid. Curious what posts about personal info about Jackson were posted?

 

[saraaaah90]

So a couple of things... I have been curious to the controversy surrounding these two I.e why I am here, I decided to sit back and watch them without reading the forums or any outside negative or positive feedback. I read people for a living, and it has been a bit slow. Here goes: Jenn gives off a deceptive vibe most of the time for a split second. She also gives off a black/brown aura sometimes. For example: when she thanks a person or expresses concern. She is being disingenuous. She is unhappy and masks it with a smile. She is a people- please, mostly wants to please Tim.Tim, there is something so off and dishonest around him.He has a dark pink aura. He tolerates Jenn and that is something no woman or man should feel regardless of how much of an ass they are. in the same breath he is controlling but wants his wife happy so she doesn’t think about leaving. Their apology video is deceiptful, no question. they are likely sorry they got caught and were only saying lines that were given to them or rehearsed. They have no interest in growing in regards to those videos. Nor do they understand how they offended people. That is all if anyone has any questions let me know.

 

[Bangarang0522]

God forbid Jenn leave in content about another vlogger. It’s Jenn that is afraid of the competition. She’s the one that edits, she could have left that in with Adam. I watch tons of the Disney Vloggers, they all welcome each other, give shout out to the other person’s channel and they seem to have a great community. If Jenn wasn’t such a standoffish person and not so jealous, they could easily be in that ring too.

Oh yea its definitely Jenn and Tim doesn't want to piss her off. I watched so many vlogs for the opening of Rise of the Resistance and all the vloggers were interviewing each other and they were all excited talking to each other about it and made their vlogs that much better. Then you have Tim doing his generic update that was not as good as everyone else's. God forbid they help any other vloggers. Of course everyone else has something to fall back on because they don't rely on YouTube to live on solely like Tim and Jenn do.
