I actually started watching Adcro when he went viral in 2018/19 for putting pepper and balsamic vinegar on strawberries. I followed him and kept up with his content ever since because I thought he was quite quirky and really funny! Unfortunately I have realised over time that he has tendencies that are actually quite offensive to his fans/followers. For example, the way he patronises people. I feel like he thinks that just because he is articulate and can easily convey his opinions he has a sort of one up on every body else. An example of this would be the way he pinned the comment about the person who got their mathematics wrong concerning the weight of biscuits. What would provoke someone to publicly embarrass and humiliate someone else like that? There’s been times where he will completely shut someone down due to difference of opinion and almost reply to comments as if he’s taking to a child. What’s hypocritical about this is that he even has his own series of tiktoks called ‘Adcro’s quick opinions’ and states his mildly controversial opinion on a certain matter, then retaliates ridiculously in the comments if someone disagrees! It’s quite hard to watch. I’ve joined nearly all of his lives and every single time a fan will comment something like a question or a statement that doesn’t involve praise he will completely shut them down and make them feel uncomfortable, me included. I’ve asked simple questions and the answers I get are so cold and abrupt it’s almost as if I’ve offended him? If we are also talking about the written comments which are usually brought up the most due to him getting a lot of backlash about them; I think it’s ridiculous. He claims time and time again the reason he sounds so blunt and rude is because he is trying to write and reply to every persons comment, but every time I look back through the comments this isn’t the case at all. He actually doesn’t reply to every single comment and there have been videos with 20 comments underneath and he has replied to only 3 of those being blunt and rude. So in my opinion that isn’t a good enough excuse at all, sorry. It comes across as patronising, disrespectful and ignorant. Another opinion I have is that he can be very controlling with his content and what people say about him. A model of this was when the story about him and his Moderator came out here on the forum and he actually managed to reply and retaliate to every single comment that was negative about him, not the positive ones, only the negative ones? He genuinely took the time to express his side of the story on every comment that was regarding his reputation negatively. While also only addressing something he said that was quite controversial and offensive to a certain group of people. There were loads of fantastic positive comments of support and praise but he had no interest in those clearly. This also happened on the live the night he announced his departure of friendship with his moderator where he sat there looking miserable while he only addressed negative comments and didn’t say barely anything at all to the mountains of lovely comments he got. Including mine. I commented about 6 times expressing my support and care for him while he only replied to the trolls or the people being rude. This happened to me and 4 others as we also expressed that we were upset about this in the comments. I feel like if you’re going to be the victim then fine, just don’t do it on a live where you’re effectively disregarding all of your fans just to make yourself look worse off. Saying all of this, this is strictly my opinion and I am not trying to offend Adcro at all but it just is something that doesn’t sit well with me and as a former fan it was quite disappointing. But like I said, maybe it’s just me who has this opinion I’m sure lots of people have a very different experience! If you are reading this Adcro (I expect you probably are) try not to take anything personally as it is just opinions and it isn’t the be all and end all. Not everyone will love you and putting yourself on a public platform exposes yourself to all sorts of people who have different tastes and it’s completely normal to have a clash now and again. If you don’t like it, stop reading and analysing these comments it won’t do you any good at all unfortunately. I think you can be a lovely person but the superiority complex can be offensive to people.
