Didn't she study art? Real marketable major. Not slamming education for education's sake. Or being an art major if you're actually talented. My best friend from high school majored in graphic design, and has been a successful free-lancer. But she's not only talented, she's imaginative; something Kelsey definitely isn't. I can't speak to her talent, but the things I have seen her "do" haven't been very inspired.

I don't follow them regularly but I'm curious about their equation with Bryan and Missy Lanning. Can someone briefly explain how they knew each other and then how they had a fallout? I remember they were so close when Juniper was born.

Corbin Missy and Kelsey went to Hugh School together. Maybe they all did, I’m not sure, Bryan included. They are all from Idaho. They were best friends.
K&C moved to Cali and Corbin worked for Bryan. Obviously DB climbed the youtube ladder VERY high. And I think K&C were obviously milking their connection with DB ($$$)
And they just abruptly decided to move back to Idaho, I think they just had no where else to go.
Clearly something happened between them, none of them ever spoke of it.
However Bryan Lanning posted on his Instagram about being used by friends. He even stated very obviously that he lended someone a fridge to use, it was K&C.
I would looooove to know what happened between them.
Maybe Corbin just got fired by Bryan for being a complainer douchebag. Who knows?!
But I’m glad they don’t have a connection with DB. Kelsey and Corbin always seemed to suck others success.

I’ve noticed they post their vlogs on insta day prior posting it on YouTube. How exactly does Instagram work? Per views? Per followers???
I have a family friend who’s makes a living off of Instagram-he has over 300k followers. And posts just about every single day. Different companies have home advertise all sorts of crap lol
He said he makes an average of $1,500 a month.
Granted, he’s single. So aside form his full time job it’s a secondary income. Win win.

But I can’t imagine feeding a family of FOUR and paying mortgage!!?
Any instagram pros on here can explain the concept for me

I didn’t like the “meeting baby brother” video at all. Why the dramatic music? Such a weird editing style. I’m way more interested in hearing June talk and see what she has to say. Not the dramatic music like someone passed away. Creepy.

I don't think Instagram itself pays them. I think they're trying to attract more companies to do sponsorships/paid ads with. Their engagement on YT is much lower than IG at this point.

I am actually surprised Corbin allowed Kelsey to be front and center of that moment and didn't claim it for his own. Like he does every single other moment.

Her degree is actually anthropology. Also not exactly a great degree for career opportunities. From what they've explained, it seems she went to art school for a semester in San Francisco then moved in with Corbin in SoCal (where he was in college) and then she didn't go back to college until they moved to Southern Oregon. I wonder what she did while Corbin was in college?? Did she work?? They've never been clear about that time of their life.

And, yes, Bryan was also a student at the same high school, but it's pretty obvious he and Corbin weren't that close back then. Missy and Kelsey were best friends, but Bryan and Corbin's "friendship" always seemed forced.

I finally watched today's video—boring. I mean, it was cute, but it was only about 4-ish minutes long and they are definitely trying to make as many "baby" videos as possible to milk that YT $$$$$. It also has a TON of likes, which seems suspicious.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's buying likes to get more brands interested in their channel. This is the time of the year YTers/SM people make the MOST money from sponsorships and brands, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if Corbin is begging for brand deals now that they have two kids and probably hospital bills from the birth.

Thank you! My niece majored in anthropology, but she is driven and got her master's, and works at the Smithsonian and already bought a condo of her own in Alexandria, Virginia, which isn't cheap.
These two amaze me with their lack of ambition.

Their ambition definitely lacks. It shows.
Sure their degrees might not be really heard of, but if you work for a position you can make good money! It goes for just about any career. I think they have these big name degrees and but really don’t care to work for success. Hence why they jumped on the “I’m going to record my face three times a week and slap It on the internet hoping it feeds my wife and kids” band wagon.
Easy money.
It’s like young kids don’t want to work for anything nowadays. They forgot that success requires hard work.
It’s hard earned.

Corbin better watch the buying likes on IG. We do the influencer stuff on IG and they're cracking down big time. Banning and shadow banning.

I don’t personally do it, but in a college marketing class we watched interviews with a guy who managed Influencers. He said the general rule of thumb is for every 100,000 flavors, they would be paid $1000 for a post.

I don’t get why Corbin can’t enjoy the moment?
Why everything that happens to him, he has the need to picture it or assume it in a avatar future?!
It’s almost as if he can’t enjoy the moment or now!
It’s always I can’t wait to see June at Christmas I can’t wait to see Tabor on an adventure. My take is everything in his life needs to be staged to a cliche ideal coming from his viewpoint!
It’s an adventure now Corbs right there in your living room!
Your family aren’t the news room!!!!
It just shows a very vain individual who prefers to show off to others than truly enjoy himself with the very thing he wants to show off!!!
He bragged and bragged how June was born an absolute genius when not once has he made an effort to teach her a thing, but he set the scene of his expectations to show her off to the world while no other parent had such a girl now Tabor. He definitely has issues!

[Parktown]

I wanted to add but could not edit, he thrives in what he believes, his actions make people envious of him or glorify his greatness! Miserable and pathetic to live this way!

How old is juniper exactly? Just out of curiosity? Is she still 2?

Well, this was a couple years ago when people really didn’t have to write #ad, but essentially an ad. Just mentioning a product and showing their like or support for it. The while point of an influential is people trust them and want to be or do whatever they are doing.

(Oh, and just you meant a recurring ad or a single post- this would just be for a single post.)
