Around the time that Bonnie made the blog crying about views, she had a 400k view video deleted according to SB. Either she took it down for some reason, or YT did.sheltiefan wrote:
Ellie and Jared did the same thing in the podcast of theirs after the comments were turned off by YT. Their lack of viewers looks worse than Bonnie because they have more subscribers. Plus many times lately Bonnie has had more views. The clickbait title on Friday's vlog about moving worked somewhat because it had over 140,000 views which for them is a high number.
Now on Olivia's vlog-wasn't there controversy with that and it was one that was renamed? I wasn't watching at the time but I thought I read about it here and I think I went back and watched it.
Neither Ellie or Bonnie are broke yet by any means, but they do need to stop spending so much and start saving. The fun is definitely over. They also need to come up with a job outside of YT, and I think Bollie was supposed to be that, but it’s proving to be a financial risk. It’s hard to take financial risks when you’re already struggling to maintain the life you have. Most new businesses don’t make money for the first year or two because that money goes back into the business and start up/growth costs. I wonder if they didn’t feel pressure before because they were pulling money from their own bank accounts to subsidize it? That, or she finally realizes there is no success with Bollie without the gullible viewers. It isn’t too late for her to make changes. They would actually be in a far better position if they sold off the property (because even if Ellie doesn’t want out today, she will when she finds something better), made one final line of Bollie, and then closed and sold all that off. Take the money invested in the property and buy one of those automated 24/7 car washes. Joel could work a few hours a day to maintain it, and Bonnie could go back to editing. People would start watching again, and although I don’t think she’s ever going to hit 2 million, she could at least keep the audience she has. No more alienating them by shoving a product they can’t afford down their throats. They could still do YT, but also be prepared for the future.
Like someone else said, Bonnie’s channel is still getting ok views, but the amount E&J have fallen can’t have escaped her. To lose an audience of 1.5 million subs without a scandal or anything has got to sting. Sure Ellie is still out there shopping up a storm (buying more trees today), but I think they are at a breaking point. If they haven’t made noticeable changes three months from now to adjust to a much smaller income (because they have been earning less than Bonnie for a few months now), I’ll be shocked.
I mean, I know they say they follow Dave Ramsey, but Jared’s dad supposedly did too, and we know how that ended. Plus they clearly don’t follow him anymore, the new vehicle purchases and constant ordering food prove they do not.
