Re: YouTube Pet Peeves
Am I the only one who thinks it's kind of rude to hate-wish a particular sex on someone who's pregnant just because you want to see them upset? Like people constantly saying they hope Jess gets a boy so she won't have her "perfect" family or that Kelsey and Corbin will have a girl so Missy will be upset. Using a baby as a pawn feels gross to me.

Re: YouTube Pet Peeves
I see your point, but I don't know-- I think it's pretty harmless. We don't really know them, and we certainly have no control over what gender the baby is. We're not able to hex them, and make the baby that gender (at least, I'm not). We're not actually able to use the baby as a pawn. If we actually knew them, and said that to them, yes, it would be pretty cruel.fossilfinger wrote:Am I the only one who thinks it's kind of rude to hate-wish a particular sex on someone who's pregnant just because you want to see them upset?

Re: YouTube Pet Peeves
I definitely feel guilty because I totally think that way with jesss and Missy. I wouldn't want to wish ill on any child. And I would hate to see a child be treated badly because they weren't the "right" sex.fossilfinger wrote:Am I the only one who thinks it's kind of rude to hate-wish a particular sex on someone who's pregnant just because you want to see them upset?

But like the poster above me stated. Wishing and hoping have zero actual impact on the sex that was preditermined at conception. I will try to tone down my distaste for missy wanting a girl though.

Re: YouTube Pet Peeves
I hate it when they show their kids in their underwear. No privacy for the poor children whatsoever.
As previsouly mentioned, when they excuse their looks (hair, no makeup, etc)
And I'm thinking of one special YT mom when I say it makes my blood boil when they go all mom boss oh I'm working so hard this is such a demanding business

Re: YouTube Pet Peeves
I hate it when they promote something to death (issue, sponsorship, project, etc)! A tasteful mention will often leave me wanting more information. One that is overdone just has the opposite effect.
Also, the laziness just kills me... the poor Special Snowflakes are all so exhausted!

Re: YouTube Pet Peeves
clickbait titles that use a pronoun instead of a name and have an unrelated person in the thumbnail so people will make an incorrect (and more view worthy) assumption. For example "she died" with thumbnail of the child of the family (when in fact a neighbor's pet lizard died) or "she peed on the floor" with a thumbnail of the twelve year old kid- when it was the two year old who peed instead. It is so obvious and predictably the comment section is full of "oh, I was so worried, I thought it was so and so who died". I guess clickbait is a common pet peeve but this type always makes my blood boil.

Re: YouTube Pet Peeves
SlyFox is terrible with this. "Had To Call an Ambulance", when an ambulance just came to the fast food place across the street from where they were vlogging, and "Police Came For Her" when it was a neighbor. They also Photoshop pictures of Caspian to make it look like he got beat up, when in reality he doesn't have a mark on him. And they keep calling Jiu jitsu, "MMA", when it's not.sasperillo wrote:clickbait titles that use a pronoun instead of a name and have an unrelated person in the thumbnail so people will make an incorrect (and more view worthy) assumption.

Sorry. You just struck a chord with me.

Re: YouTube Pet Peeves
Clickbait sucks!!! I seem to recall it was against the rules or frowned upon by youtube till about mid 2013 on when YT seemed to really explode in a few of categories. Back then you were encouraged to report clickbait. I believe Kind Shay got smacked a couple of times with it. But now with all the money YT is making off these idiots anything goes. It's just like how they basically protect their 'content creators' when they steal and have obvious copyright infringements going on. I am familiar with the latter after battling with them over someone using a few of my songs.lmmomSD wrote:SlyFox is terrible with this.

Re: YouTube Pet Peeves
Many of us have expressed concern over YT kids being exposed to perverts in vlogs.. Well, looks like some popular YTber just got busted for child porn. A YTuber named Austin Jones would have his underage fans prove how much they adored him by sending him explicit selfies..

Re: YouTube Pet Peeves
The way sellers sponsor vlogs and _every_ vlogger has the same sponsor in a week. There will be a whole bunch of Best Fiends sponsored vlogs. This week, it's Ring Security Systems.

Re: YouTube Pet Peeves
Arrrrgh. Yesterday, Family Fun Pack did a "mail haul" and showed all the crap people have sent them. They got baby clothes for the new baby. They have more money than they know what to do with. The drawings that kids send them are fine, and sweet, but they don't need stuff. Then "We Are The Davises" just moved to Laguna Niguel, one of the richest places in California. They got a new PO box, and encouraged viewers to send them stuff in hopes of getting a shout out. So the people who watch these are mostly kids, and they're going out of their way and spending their allowance to send these people who have tons of money stuff that they don't need. I wish someone would say, "we really appreciate it, but we have everything we need. Please send us letters and drawings, but no clothes or toys. If you feel like it, donate to a shelter". The greed and thoughtlessness just astounds me.

Re: YouTube Pet Peeves
It is such a waste for these families to open PO boxes, because I bet they throw away the majority of the things they receive anyway. Most kids are not going to send high-quality items, and they can't have room in their homes for all that stuff, even if a lot of it is letters. Who needs 500 cheap stuffed animals?lmmomSD wrote:I wish someone would say, "we really appreciate it, but we have everything we need. Please send us letters and drawings, but no clothes or toys.

Re: YouTube Pet Peeves
Have you ever watched the Ingham Family? They're from the UK and the girls are really quite sweet and the parents are fine too but the amount of STUFF they buy is absolutely revolting. And then they also get all the crap from their viewers on top of it all. SO GROSS.lmmomSD wrote:Arrrrgh. Yesterday, Family Fun Pack did a "mail haul" and showed all the crap people have sent them.

Re: YouTube Pet Peeves
The whole push from 9 year old viewers for YouTubers to have babies-- the comments saying "Like if you think they should have a baby!" SlyFox actually asked their viewers if they should have one. Nine year olds don't understand. It's bringing a life into the world. It's not like buying a toy. It makes me so irrationally angry.

Re: YouTube Pet Peeves
Does Chick Fil A send gift cards out to vloggers? They all seem to eat there a lot, and always mention that they are going to eat at Chick Fil A. Seems like other restaurants, they just go and eat, but Chick Fil A, they make sure and mention it. A few times. "We're on our way to Chick Fil A." "Ok, now we're done with Chick Fil A, and we're going to go shopping". It's just odd... Especially since you couldn't pay me to eat there, because of the owner.

Re: YouTube Pet Peeves
Yes!!! I don't think we have Chick Fil A in Canada, or at least we don't have it where I am, but I can't stand even thinking about it. Is it super popular in the US or is it just over-represented on youtube? You're right, everyone seems to reference it all the time.lmmomSD wrote:Does Chick Fil A send gift cards out to vloggers?

Re: YouTube Pet Peeves
Didn't know where else to put this. But it's proof positive that "We're vlogging for the memories" is BS. Carl and Jinger started daily vlogging, but the stunts and challenges were more lucrative.
