ok fair enough. I know Jen can be a bitch sometimes but I’ve found their vlogs informative but never watch their live streams. I only watch twitch but I do not get that argument about the superchats because they live in a 450,000 house. And? It’s not like a gun is to anyone’s head. They can still watch can’t they? It’s like if people drop bits and sub trains on twitch. Ok cool I’m happy for the hustle, just because they are comfy they turn them off? Why?
What was the skinny on the water hose theft thing? And the cruise thing?
I forgot to mention they buy subs and views.
Re: House and Water Theft. They started out vlogging back 11 years ago and moved from place to place renting houses. They then bought an old 2-story in Sanford (I'm a local) that was in a so-so neighborhood; some nice houses, some not-so-nice houses. They then moved in Aug 2018 to a $450K in Lake Nona; new(er); gated community; night and day from the Sanford house. In Oct 2018, they made a vlog where they were working on their bathroom remodel and lamenting about someone coming onto their property and stealing their water, that there was nothing the water dept. or the cops could do (? which was strange ?) and nothing they could really do about it.
People were commenting en masse about how awful that was (helps w/ the YT algorithm to have lots of comments - hence why they ask such dumb, common sense questions all the time to prompt people to answer; it's a gimmick they do). They then disclosed to viewers in Dec 2018 that they moved and they very carefully downplayed the size of the home (4 bdrm 3.5 bath), etc.
Thus, they weren't living at the Sanford house while the theft was going on; it was a vacant house. Also, the ex of the guy who supposedly was stealing the water made a video and posted it on YT about how the Trackers are two-faced and that she had been friendly with them (even her daughter swam in their pool with them) and had told them to please tell her first if they had any issues with her ex (who was the next-door neighbor renting a place) and that she'd deal with it (I guess he had a few screws loose). SO - again, just like with the girl with the Universal pic on IG - rather than dealing with something privately - like adults do - they blast the issue ALL OVER THEIR YT CHANNEL to gain sympathy, comments, views, etc. (again, this was not a safety issue like they were pushing; the house was vacant because they were already living in Lake Nona).
RE: the Super Chat. They were doing super chats tons of times. They knew how to turn it off. They feign ignorance when it benefits them. And I'm sorry, but having super chats when you recently moved into a $450K house yet are "selling" the house to the viewers as if it's on the small side is just plain ethically wrong.
Yes, people are free to send what they want. But is it right of the Trackers to allow it to happen? No.
As a side note - he also got new tattoos on his feet very very soon after that super chat. Wonder where that money went. Hmmm...
Also - the $2,000 Gucci sweater debacle. Is he free to do what he wants? Sure. Can they buy what they want? Sure. However, they frequently lament of the cost of things, i.e. $20 socks at TopGolf!??!, $10 burger!??! ... and then drop $2,000 on a sweater. And film it. Bad optics.
Just plain and simple hypocrisy.
Yet the viewers eat it up.
Admittedly, I scan through new vlogs often just to see what they're up to but I don't watch a vlog religiously like I used to for quite some time. I'd say after the pregnancy announcement was when I stopped (that would be May 2019). She was on Twitter saying people were showing up at their house (gated community), family members' homes, etc. to protest her pregnancy.
Who in their right mind would believe that? Again, all for drama. All to play the victim. All for views, likes, comments, etc. to boost the algorithm. They know what they're doing.
RE: Cruise. (this was Jan 2019)
They made a vlog about how they were invited on a #hosted (comp'd) Disney Cruise. Jenn talked in detail about how she had never been on a cruise before, didn't know what to expect, had asked friends what to expect, she was afraid of how she'd feel, was unsure what to bring, what to wear, etc.
They even did a fashion show vlog about all they were bringing to wear and discussed back and forth that they didn't know if they would need this, that, etc. because they were newbies.
They made tons of vlogs about each day of the cruise, room tours, etc. Near the end, Tim had referenced about it being her first cruise, how she liked it, etc. On the last day of the cruise, he asked her - now that you've been on a cruise, how did you like it?, etc.
They then made a vlog recapping the cruise, aka an "overview."
One of the very first things out of their mouth was - Y
ou know how we said it was our first cruise? Well, we actually had been on a cruise like 20 years ago but that was so long ago, it doesn't count. blah blah blah
And then proceeded to review the cruise they just went on, just overhyped, just pushed as if we were viewing in the eyes of someone's first-ever cruise, etc.
I remember watching that recap and after she said that, my BF and I looked at each other and were like - "WHAT? Wait! I thought they said this whole time this was her first-ever cruise?"
Basically... liars. That's just another example. One of many.
