Chris and Eve vloggers quit?

[Limonjelly]

I used to follow a YouTube couple, Chris and Eve, they seemed quite nice and had 2 cats they vlogged about a lot, and more recently had 2 kids. I think they had a reasonable following.

I wanted to find out what company cat-proofed their garden, but I can't find their YT channel or Insta any more? The accounts are both unavailable. Just wondered if anyone knew if they've decided to quit vlogging? Thinking about it, I hadn't seen any videos by them come up for ages. (And in the meantime if anyone can recommend good cat-proofing companies in Surrey or Berkshire area, I'd be grateful!)

I think C&E were very clever in how they manipulated their viewers.
I always remember when they had Rose and would always ‘ask for advice’ on a particular product, to then magically be gifted said product. They wrote to many restaurants, holiday accommodation lets and small businesses requesting services in exchange for promotion on their ‘organically curated channels’. I know that’s what influencers tend to do, however, C&E portrayed themselves to not be like that and would feign quelle suprise when they were gifted items they’d been gifted despite having written to the small company requesting the product/service.

I get where a lot of you are coming from. I know they owed nothing to anyone. Just disappearing lacks integrity. Even replacing their social media with one message saying “we’re moving on, thanks for the good times” or whatever would have been a nice gesture. Ghosting is just meh.

I agree with much of what you’re saying. Your observation that ghosting lacks integrity in particular raises an interesting point. I think all influencers / bloggers lack integrity in everything they do. They pull the wool over peoples eyes. This post was interesting because you highlight how they grifted and got things for free. So all these people on here saying that c and e were not making money, or just loved sharing their lives - they were actually grifters like all bloggers and influencers. All lacking integrity and doing it for the money. So the followers are manipulated into thinking there’s a relationship etc when there isn’t. And this just goes to show because we can see how hurt people on here are about it. Now I’m sure there’s one out there somewhere who literally does it for the love of sharing their life but I think that’s even weirder to be honest!

Totally agree with your point on lacking integrity. That's what it is... People had a higher opinion of them and really liked them. I think people are genuinely shocked at their behaviour. It's like their true colours have come out but people still don't want to believe it's been like that after all this time. Shame.

WATCH THIS;

I haven’t watched this but I had heard about it. Will watch later. It’s staggering to me that parents who adopt a child, any child, but particularly with difficulties, think it’s ok to put that child all over the internet. Although I guess it’s no different really to putting bio children all over the internet for likes etc. there should be a law about exploiting children online for money.

Just in reference to the comments back & forth here about people watching children/families in the first place and having this parasocial relationship with them. Watch the last few comments Josh say's . He hits the nail on the head

In there last video which so of not edited as well as they normally did.. Eve mentioned that there was some thing exciting happening and Chris mentioned that we will save that for another time.

then I noticed like a few others mentioned that there company C&E Productions has a new American Address..
so I’ve put two together and come up with the idea that they have /are moving to America and decided to make a fresh start.
Good on them I say ..

and to reply to past comments about if Chris and Eve owe us anything.. well you could say yes as it’s there fans that watched there videos and helped them earn revenue, but it’s clear now that they no longer want or need that revenue anymore.

my question is.. if you see them or one of there family , say Chris’s Mum (Trendy Mum)( a old school friend of mine lives in the same neighborhood) would you go upto them in the street and tell them that you were disappointed that they deleted there content because you found there content somewhat useful and inspiring or something.. I probably would.. go on to say I respect them and thank them for helping me through the last 10 years of my life etc and leave at that. Maybe they wouldn’t mind people saying hi, but maybe they would.. we will probably never know, tell someone spots them.

Thank you for this , this is what it’s about , real or actors , we invested 10 years into watching like a good weekly series, but unfortunately now , we can never watch the re-runs.

ps. Sorry if this is morbid, But I know that they are not died as in the UK births & deaths are recorded publicly. so a quick check on the register can confirm this. You can also locate there company records.. for C&E Productions which is also published somewhat publicly if it’s a registered UK company.
But the information is limited ie you might only be able to see what address it was last registered with and who the company is owned by/partners. There last registration address for there company was a back office address in London. Which could just be a PO address.

Hi 👋, there is nothing wrong with sending or receiving card from someone that you don’t know, that has similar interests as you, or even small gifts if you feel that you want too. Plenty of people do this. I for one send small stickers for journals, postcards and vintage ephemera to strangers I meet via Facebook community groups that share similar interests, I do not even know or care what these people think or look like.. I might know what the person is allergic too, what there favorite colors are and a few other small details.. I do know that these people like to receive cards or small gifts (happy mail) as they have provided there address publicly in the group, so people many send to them if they wish, but apart from providing there address details.. these people never ask for anything, some times you might receive back , but it’s not expected.
i also sent Christmas cards often to C&E but unfortunately i never received anything in return, it didn’t matter to me .. I just enjoy sending Christmas cards.

I hope I can find you channel on ‘Jasper & Micky’ 🥰.

Would you like it if someone exposed your location and hotel to the entire world? I’ve reported your post. It’s a safety concern for them

Which it fine.
The point to my "essay" was that some of the criticism here on this thread was unnecessary seeing as how it came from people who admitted to not being viewers of C&E's YouTube channels, or website, or Instagram and FaceBook accounts for themselves and their cats, and didn't know how deeply this couple invited subscribers and followers into their lives.
It's akin to me being vegan and going into a hunting chatroom and criticising the hunters. I may not approve, but I'm not going to shame those who do it by saying their hobby is "crazy" or they are crazy for doing it. Leave that to the professional protesters.
I'm not crazy for sending birthday cards to "strange" cats posting them in the name of my own cats. Jasper & Micky also send/have sent birthday cards to Sherpa, Keyush, Cole & Marmalade, Max & Mya, and others. I'm a fellow YouTuber and we interact. It's a hobby.
Chris and Eve ending their channel is fine and no different to me than a favorite TV program ending. Only I, too, hope they just got bored and that nothing bad happened, but it's possible it did due to how accessible they made themselves. I'm not saying it's their fault, but I am saying that speculation about it is normal . . . to a degree. Venting is fine; investigating, not so much.
In fact, this incident has just given me another reason for keep my interaction with my channel's viewers limited. I don't have a P.O. Box or a website (like C&E) and my FaceBook page is just for me, not my cats (like C&E) and is kept private. I don't have Instagram for myself or my cats like they did., either Subscribers can comment on my videos and that's it.
I think this issue has been a valuable lesson about the dark side of social media. I've shared all this with a colleague at the college who teaches social media and she plans to create an addition to her syllabus around it. Very intriguing from a psychological aspect.

@IrishBritGirl ‘I'm not crazy for sending birthday cards to "strange" cats posting them in the name of my own cats’

Please repeat this sentence to yourself, that is utterly bizarre behaviour from a grown adult. 😵‍💫

Would you criticise my "Critical Thinking Skills" if my hobby was skydiving? With risk of death at every turn? What if I were a nudist? Does that hobby display a lack of critical thinking, as well? People have all kinds of hobbies.
I never sent gifts, but yes, I sent birthday cards to Turbo and Jet in the name of the cats I had then and then once in the name of my current cats before C&E closed the P.O. Box. I did it/still do it with other YouTube animals I like - Sherpa, Keyush, Ivy, Remi & Mouse, Cole & Marmalade, Max&Mya and all the kitties of "Lucky Ferals." It's a fun, harmless hobby. When I go places and sign a guest book, I do it in the name of my cats. As a result, my cats get adverts and invitations from these places. Its cute! My cats get mail addressed to them!
I stressed the encouragement of communication on C&E's part because there were people on this thread calling us "crazy" when they admittedly didn't know who Chris and Eve are, nor seem to follow other YouTubers and therefore don't understand the culture. I just personally don't think it's right to lob attacks on people or things you don't understand. I don't criticize people who skydive or are nudists, even though I would never do it myself.
Yes, I'm a professor and I've taught at colleges and universities, full-time and part-time when I was raising a family. I teach communication theory, public speaking and critical thinking from a communication perspective, as well as video production and marketing - I have 3 degrees. I'm widowed with grown children and young grandchildren and when I sign birthday cards to my family and friends I always say it's from me "and catz." It's a cat-thing, just like having my own cat-central YouTube channel.
I like to think I'm fairly normal, just a little cat-obsessed, LOL

I think skydiving is an "utterly bizarre behaviour from a grown adult" but I wouldn't say that to someone who does it. I live by what my parents taught me: "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."
I like sending cards in the name of Jasper and Micky to my friends, my family, Sherpa, Keyush, Ivy, Remi & Mouse, Max & Mya, Cole & Marmalade, all the kitties of "The Lucky Ferals," and others.
I also contribute funding to some animal rescue YouTubers like Kitten Lady, Tiny Kittens, The Critter Room (a/k/a Foster Dad John) Wildlife Aid (its a shame Simon just passed away), and others. And I have fun posting my own cat videos on YouTube even though I expect nothing in return except a "Thumbs Up".
To each their own and I hope some of the commenters here will check out the channels I mentioned, especially the ones doing rescue work, as that's so important.

Its easy, as long as you spell Micky's name correctly - no e! LOL

@IrishBritGirl I think there’s been a small breakdown of communication. Do you live in the US ? You use American English. In the U.K. a regular university teacher is called a lecturer not a professor. Professor is the highest level of lecturer, often the head of a faculty.

Seriously worrying that a so called educated person is even watching these channels. Bad enough watching the cats (& I' a cat lover myself) the moment they started putting their children online you should have stopped. THIS EXPLOITING OF CHILDREN ONLINE HAS TO STOP

I just want to add to this quasi In Memoriam thread: I haven't watched Chris and Eve in a long time but I hope they're alright. I appreciate that they shared nice things (their cats, holidays, wedding, etc) for the internet including me to enjoy. For a few of those first years, I doubt they were receiving any sizeable ad revenue. My instinct says something unpleasant happened to them so they shut down. If that's the case, I hope the threat has been taken care of, and they're safe and well.

I've been on vacation/holiday and my email is blowing up with responses, so I'm back.
I was born in Belfast. My family escaped to the U.S. during "The Troubles", landing in San Francisco. There were 6 of us initially (2 parents/4 children), though my mother's brother/my uncle, would arrive later. My eldest brother returned to Northern Ireland when he was of age, and paid the price, garnering himself an address at The Maze.
No one in my family ever saw him again, we've never returned, and I've never visited there, even though I married a British man (however, kept my Irish surname) whom I met at UCLA when we were both undergraduates. We both enjoyed dual citizenship during our 20+ years together and frequently visited his family who resided in Suffolk. I also experienced a summer exchange program while at UCLA which I mentioned to C&E a couple of years ago, when they visited the neighborhood I lived in back during that late 1980's summer.
All of my degrees are from 2 American universities: UCLA & UC Berkeley, where I also taught. Once I received my Ed.D, I could be called professor, but yes, before that, I was a lecturer when I taught at San Francisco State University and other small colleges while pursuing the master's and doctoral degrees.
I stopped teaching when I lost the strength to do so after battling cancer from 2014-16; I'm now an administrator at what's known here as a "Community College" which is one step lower than a university. I even shared my cancer battle with C&E, advising that I'd beat the disease in my 2016 Christmas card to Turbo & Jet (from Sonny & Tristan, my cats at the time) because I was shouting my success from every rooftop, so to speak - partially due to surviving on my own, having lost my 40-something, long-distance-competitive-cycling husband in 2012 to a heart attack he suddenly suffered while on a trek along the Pacific Coast Highway in Southern California where we lived.
Something warm and honest about C&E made folks want to share back with them, since they were sharing so much on an intimate level.
I can't speak for others here who followed them, but for me, the gentle love they showed their cats drew me in, as it's done with the other YouTube channels I watch. I think it's an animal-loving thing. I was always in it for the cats as I am with other, animal-centric YouTube channels.

I don’t even know who Chris and Eve are but this bonkers thread proves that it is actually possible for self obsessed people to obsess over others! Who knew 😂

I shall name this The Chris and Eve Paradox.

This whole thread should be kept as a warning to influencers.
The internet never forgets!

Random I know, but was Eve a First Officer at Tui like her LinkedIn suggested?
