Travel Vloggers and VanLifers

1
Do the Beans get many sponsored posts though? Camper Vibe seem to get a lot, Y foods seems to be regular and they did the awful air up bottles (someone at work has one, said it's no where near as great as the hype), have they done the rip of athletic greens (I read it's about £90 for a bag of what is essentially vitamin powder😮)? The world and his wife seem to have plugged AGs and Jackery - immediate switch off from me if either of those two are sponsoring.
Beans may have a high number of page members maybe, they seem popular with Americans and from my own nosiness on channel members it seems it's more popular with Americans to pay money to specific YouTubers they like.
I watched a documentary (think it was on all4) which said it's so easy to get burn out on YouTube. You have to upload regularly to a schedule to keep being pushed by the algorithm. If you don't have a team it's actually a lot of work to keep it up with filming, editing, admin, planning. Alex has def had burn out before and I do wonder if he will struggle with it all now they have a baby.
I do really like them as a couple but it feels a bit like they are doing anything so they have content to upload and their heart isn't in it.

Do the roaming radfords have their own thread? Just started watching them and would be interested to hear what others think.

I wish they did but don't know how to create one 🤣. Their undeclared ads drive me insane. They never put AD in the subject line, never reference it being an ad and only very occasionally just put the little 'paid promotion' in the corner which isn't enough in line with ASA guidelines yet every vlog has a separately filmed cringe-fest advert from Lyndsey in the middle. They're very open about wanting this to be a full time 'job' 🙄🙄🙄 so should stick to the rules.
 
They are rolling in money and think they are better than everyone else.
They both drive Telsa cars, have a very successful business and three separate youtube channels.
And those leggings she wears do my head in and that youngest child also has a youtube channel and is spoilt beyond belief.
😂 😜 Just my opinion... everyone else may love them.

My opinion too - I nearly mentioned the leggings too 🤯🤯🤯. And all the time lapse videos of her "stretching out" to that bizarre music they insist on playing .... they have such a high opinion of themselves.

Personally I thought they were quite big drinkers and often seemed a bit out of it. I did stop watching when their van caught fire in the US... but ultimately life with a baby is a completely different ball game isn't it?

I suspect they thought they were going to, if you'll pardon the pun, blow up after their van blew up in the US but it hasn't happened as far as I can see and they are starting to get very burned out.

They do have a lot of sponsorships and they're the same ones every travel vlogger has. They either did Jackery or the rival brand, maybe even both like camper vibe.
They also just film 1-2 days of their week, so that's 5 days off camera for editing and arranging sponsorships and if they want to take 2 weeks off, they can just do a q&a or one of those 5 things we love about our van, 5 things we would change style of videos that are filmed in less than an hour.
I won't deny that there's a pressure that comes with being a consistent Youtuber and especially dealing with the constant judgment of strangers but what other job gives you 10-20k per month for 10-20 hours of work a week. These Youtubers will all have land, houses and savings to fall back on when they end their online presence.

I’m convinced they’re both swingers, with the shots of her arse in the right leggings every time she’s bent over and the boobs in your face, they’re a defo something strange about them, plus it’s all brag brag brag 🥱

My husband said exactly this about them straight away. I said omg look at these ones I've found and showed him some clips where she's doing that, frankly uncomfortable to watch, flirting with the camera face, boobs pushed out, camera angles of her bending over etc. He was like "they're bloody swingers 🤣". Also I get such such second hand embarrassment when he's on holiday keeps saying "I'm editing" like he's some big hot shot producer while the others get on with their holiday. Just enjoy your holiday and do it when you're home ffs.

Haha I’m glad it’s not just me! Defo something going on with them, plus for all the money sitting on the drive, albeit probably leased, the house isn’t much to look at nor the interior, it was the Florida vlogging that done it for me, who in their right mind spends all that money getting there to park in the Walmart car park or cracker barrel, I get if you’re there touring for months, not a two week holiday! And wasting a day to get discounted Disney tickets, that’s just pushed me over the edge lol
 
They're back in the US

Why does she wear active wear EVERYWHERE! It’s a family get together! Ffs
So little likes on their posts for the amount of followers they have.
