Steps to Whining: The Art of Entitlement

[ja14]

This changes so much for me, and now my opinion of them is even worse!

Like I mentioned, I thought she was an art major and a wannabe artist. So it made a tiny bit of since why she hasn't had a traditional job. But then I always wondered why she didn't show off herself doing art more often and try to sell to their audience. I could never figure that out!

Now I know she is just incredibly lazy.

I've tried to like them and I think June is gorgeous, but they are just boring! The way they talk is even monotone to me, I wish Kelsey would do some art or something.. it's just Goood morning ma luv, hi little bug, then they go on a walk and talk about "only in Portland", shop and either go out to eat or they do those hello fresh type meals (oh and get a milkshake).

Kelsey's family does not look well-off, so it wasn't like they were in a financial position to send her to college just for the fun of it. I think she took out student loans and has been avoiding payments by staying unemployed, which is not smart.

I thought Corbin revealed himself when he was a colossal jerk to that poor woman on the phone. I believe he had a blowout argument with his parents, probably about money and being a responsible adult, and now things are extremely icy between them. I think if they weren't already in Idaho taking advantage of Kelsey's mom for free dog sitting, they wouldn't have seen his parents at all.

I AGREE 100%!!!!!!

I think they are BOTH in a lot of debt. Corbin when to an expensive private college and mentioned in an older vlog he'd about maxed out his credit cards! YIKES!

They are also OBVIOUSLY really irresponsible. Kelsey's NEVER had a real job and Corbin seems like a big asshole (I would never hire him)! They got lucky by knowing the DBs (who are also overrated and obnoxious), otherwise NO ONE WOULD WATCH THEM. They are really boring!

They really need to figure out a backup plan, because YT isn't going to work out for them. (But Corbin seems to think they are the new DBs.)

If her iPad paintings are anything like Finn's birthday pumpkin patch sign .. yikes ...even Bryan called her out on that shit

She could also use her YT platform and audience to build a successful Etsy shop. It would be a great way for her to channel creative energy while opening up another income stream.

They better hurry up and visit the bumps because their views are falling. They're so boring. He's got the worst click bait titles!
Did anyone else catch it when he was talking about how expensive the coffee place they always go to? So now they're going to try to make it on their own. I really think they're hurting financially.

I hate to say this, but I wonder if they had June because Missy said "babies get views"? I don't think Kelsey and Corbin were even close to parenthood, but they NEEDED views for YT. Makes me sick that it's probably the truth!

[valeryjackson]

she really packs a lot of stuff in her diaper bag

It's entirely possible, they had said in an older video that they didn't want to start a family until they were closer to 30. I think they changed their mind, and I think they started the vlogs again after a long hiatus knowing that they would be pregnant soon and hopefully the pregnancy would launch their channel, probably based on advice from Missy and Bryan.

Since when does breastfeeding mean you can't take any allergy medicine? Claritin and Allegra are both safe to take.

She should try something "natural" from their naturopathic pediatrician. It has to work if she says so, right?

I was wondering about that!!! I have terrible hay fever and this time of the year in Portland is the WORST! Why suffer when you don't have to?? Beer and wine are fine, but no allergy medication that is actually totally okay to take?? They are so weird!

Doesn't it seem kind of bad for them to only visit Idaho for a few days and then go off on their summer adventures? Can Idaho not count as one of their adventures? It looks like they're brushing off their extended family so they can go have clickbaity adventures with Juniper alone. They could have stayed in Idaho at least a few more days.

Corbin said in their Q&A that on road trips he liked to get Wendy's because they "hardly ever eat fast food." Newsflash, food trucks are fast food.

God that's hilarious. For someone so sensitive he really has absolutely no self awareness at all, does he? Even when they're not eating out it's Hello Fresh which is basically glorified fast food. There's no way you could live on that alone without gaining a shit ton of weight because it's all carbs, carbs, carbs and very little veggies. Oh wait, I forgot all their frozen crap from Trader Joe's!

[luci417]

Her degree is for anthropology, not art - unless she went to some other school before SOU. Didn't she also say she was going to sell paintings to help raise money during their road trip? I don't recall her even painting one, and she certainly didn't sell any. She says it's her passion, but she never does it. I think she's just lazy!

On another topic, I can't believe they took a baby to Departure. It's lucky she didn't cry. That's an upscale downtown restaurant/lounge, and I would be annoyed if there was a crying baby around while I was enjoying my cocktails at happy hour on a sunny Friday afternoon! And the last time I was there - which was years ago - they allowed smoking on the patio. I think the hostess looked at the baby and thought, "Crap, where can I seat them AWAY from everyone else?!?!"

I knew we could count on Kelsey to have literally the most useless degree possible. Anthropology is nothing unless you want to go into academia which can require a lot of field work and interacting with other cultures which would mean Kelsey would have to actually step out of her comfort zone. Leaving the apartment for more than an hour a day to do anything but eat junk food is out of this girl's comfort zone so that's never going to happen. And OF COURSE they're those assholes that bring a baby to a fancy restaurant. I'm glad the staff were rude to them - I'd have given them the brush off if I worked there and they wanted to sit in the crowded part of the restaurant with their baby where people are drinking/trying to have adult conversation. If they're embarrassed to be from Idaho like a pp said they should know that makes them look like real country bumpkins who don't know anything about fine dining.

I stopped watching with any regularity, they're too tedious and boring to even hate watch at this point. But did they explain why their dog is no longer living with them? I think they can no longer afford the daily dog daycare and I'm assuming Kelsey's mom is either retired or works from home and can be with him all day. I can't imagine sending your dog away rather than, I don't know, looking for real employment? These two are going to dig their feet in and refuse to grow up.

ETA: Corbin has clearly been let go or quit his other job, so they have no supplemental income. If we suspend reality for a second and say they're making the tippy top of their Social Blade estimate, that's $5.4K. I think it's more likely they're making half of that. Considering they're living in a city, paying Portland rent, health insurance for a family of 3, eating out often, possibly making a new car payment etc. I'm willing to bet they aren't saving anything. The cost of rent, utilities, groceries, and health insurance premiums alone would exceed $2.7k, which is half of $5.4k.

[Playsinrain]

What about the thing they have with BabyLeauge (or whatever? Ive never watched it, i just know they talk about it..) how do they get paid with that? Does BL pay them a flat fee or do they get income from the views on that?

Don't they have to pay taxes out of that, too? Or is that included in social blade estimations?

[HashtagBlessed]

I don't think Social Blade is sophisticated enough to take into account after tax income or the fees people pay their networks. So I think their estimates are before taxes, and before the network takes a cut. It also doesn't include sponsored content, product placement, or endorcement deals. Just AdSense, I believe. But some YouTubers have either purposefully or accidentally revealed their monthly YouTube earnings and it seems no one claims to be making the top of their range, even with sponsorship dollars.

I don't know how Baby League works. I think considering the fact that Daily Bumps and Katie & Cullen did those videos when they were in the infancy of their channels, I wouldn't be surprised if those are simply a cross promotional tool and your payment is minimal.

They would have to pay tax like all of us but they probably write off/depreciate all of the Youtube related expenses, equipment and trips to decrease their gross income.

I guess the last minute trip they took to Lost Lake and stayed in a yurt is to make today's Babyleague video, sponsored by Dockatot.
