To think the saconejolys are just having babies for money?

They said they only wanted two, then when their views went down they had another one. There views were going down again so baby number 4 is on the way and their views have shot straight back up. What are they going to do when these children grow up and don't want to be filmed or are teased at school as they've put online so much?

Who?

Amanduh · 04/02/2018 20:14

Yep. They don’t bother much with the current baby they’ve got as it is. She is so understimulated, it’s really sad.

Namesarehard · 04/02/2018 20:18

Never heard of them.

FarmerSee · 04/02/2018 20:20

I've no idea who they are

SkaPunkPrincess · 04/02/2018 20:42

Ha I'm not them, I didn't post a link to a video, just a link to their stats showing they are going down!

They are one of the most known family vloggers in the UK...

Amanduh that's not what I've seen from Anna's insta account? She's constantly with her baby, playing with her and doing normal things! Think you are just trying to fuel the fire....

Amanduh · 04/02/2018 22:53

I’m not fuelling any fire 😂😂😂 she’s constantly WITH the baby but does... nothing.
But yes OP I agree

You dont know them, its very unreasonable and unfair to suggest someone is having children just for money. I suggest OP you stop watching there videos everynight and stop giving them money, if it bothers you so much.
I only wanted two, after having two things changed and I now have four. People can change their mind.

TolchockLovelyInTheLitso · 04/02/2018 22:59

DD1 loves them. I think they are exploiting those poor kids, who have no say in having every detail of their lives broadcast. A stunt baby to get viewers/£ is no surprise at all. Grabby exploitative feckers.

PaintingOwls · 04/02/2018 23:03

Are you serious? They were talking about having a fourth almost as soon as number 3 popped out.

I don't find them particularly entertaining, personally, but I have watched a few videos. If you don't like them, stop talking about them. There is no such thing as bad publicity, remember?

In fact, I might go and watch their latest video now...

PaintingOwls · 04/02/2018 23:05

And why do you assume she does nothing with the baby? You see 20 minutes of living out of 24 hours, she does t have to prove that she's interacting with the baby.

RunningOutOfCharge · 04/02/2018 23:20

You know she does 'nothing' with her how exactly?

You don't

RunningOutOfCharge · 04/02/2018 23:22

owls some people believe that that's the full day.....all vlogged for the public. bless

Grabby exploitative feckers.

That sums it up. I do think authorities should be involved, if they were child actors on a film or TV there are very strict rules about it all.

RunningOutOfCharge · 05/02/2018 14:38

Lol there are hundreds of vloggers out there! Not just this one family

Rules about what??

falsepriest · 05/02/2018 14:40

Literally couldn't give a single hoot.

Hedgehog80 · 05/02/2018 14:43

What we see is a tiny snapshot of their day ! How could anyone really know exactly what they do and how much time they spend interacting with their baby ?

I really like them, I used to watch them quite a lot but since life has got busier with dc5 I don’t have much time anymore but from what I saw of them they seemed quite down to earth, they’ve also clearly got their heads screwed on as have taken an opportunity and made a fortune from social media. Good for them.

LifeBeginsAtGin · 05/02/2018 14:53

A bit like Louise Pentland.

midnightmisssuki · 05/02/2018 15:10

who are they??

Batmanwearspants · 05/02/2018 15:31

Louise Pentland is a bit different. Doesn’t feel quite as exploitative.

Strict rules about child performers.

Louise p doesn't seem that bad in terms of explotation, the SJ seem reliant on having kids for content.

She said on this morning she wants one more. that was a few months ago. I can’t see why anyone would have another baby for “views”

I find it has to believe that someone who's whole job was using the children as entertainment wouldn't have another one when they started to decline in popularity. Espically as they had a huge boost after the last one came.

I think lots of online people get followers because their children are young and cute. No idea who the OP is talking about so can't comment but do you think MOD/FOD will be in the limelight when their twins are 14 and not quite as cute and adorable as they are now? I doubt it.

Some families are so desperate for subscribers/followers that it seems to become obsessive. The Bratayley's live streamed their ds's funeral which is entirely up to them but I thought if my child died very suddenly I can't imagine setting up the go pro for optimum coverage would be a priority for me.

The Freers decided to have a vasectomy reversal after 9 kids and vlogged it, even setting up a FB page giving a day by day account of DTD etc Hmm.
