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!)

We know. It’s only applebomb who seems confused.
They were both first officers for Tui. They told their Instagram followers this when they did a q&a hence the names they chose for their cats - turbo and jet - plane related names.
They both had LinkedIn pages with their jobs on.

So nooooooo idea why people (applebomb and someone else) thinks they had other jobs. Weird. Someone said eve works in a hospital yet she went on and on during her Rosie birth story how she is scared of hospitals!

"If an influencer disappears from the internet suddenly - PLEASE LET THEM

There could be things going on that your armchair investigative skills are making worse. Leave them alone!"

🤣 give over ffs

They litterally posted everything online & encouraged people to follow them across platforms (twitter/insta/youtube cross-promotion) they're no different to every other influencer just set their brand to create a certain emotion (calmness/down to earth ect)

Then dropped off the face of the earth....

While I 100% reckon it was financial either no longer making enough money to have it be worth the critism or risk to their kids or having decided early on if they could make enough money they would do it for 1/2/3/4/5 years & buy a house/clear debt/start a trust fund ect.

I can however recall now that youtube banned advertising on 'family' (children) content shortly before the covid 19 crises & unless they reinstated it quietly afterwards would make sense what one of the previous posters mentioned about them
Sharing that they were struggling due to contracts with brands drying up as brands were exempt from the new laws ?

So suddenly Sharing content of themselves online might have seemed more risk then reward

Surely a general message along the lines of ‘Chris and Eve are taking a break from social media to concentrate on family/health/other projects . Thank you for your support’ wouldn’t go amiss. It would stop (or reduce) the speculation.

The more I think about it... their complaints, however down to earth, during covid (money drying up/harder to get work) was probably theyre way of slowly backing out & genuine fans simply overlooked it.

Youtube did in fact make changes to 'family' accounts which theirs was by the end before or early on during covid as I remember the sacconejolys being hit by it (another channel that turned in a family one after they had kids)
& she (eve) was on extended mat leave. With her husband "working" from home.

I think theyre 'good bye' was simply dressed up in a 'what we're up to'/very casual vlog & alot of fans missed it.

Gogglebox tells me all I need to know about programmes I'll never watch, this thread is the internet equivalent.

Me too. I'm also invested even though this thread is the first I have heard of them.

@Olivegardenishome I know, that's why I addressed that post to Applebomb

I reckon they've gone back to flying and decided to quit vlogging. After all, regardless of the social media income, you don't pay £90-120k+ for flight training without being utterly passionate about Aviation (I work in the industry). There's only going to be so long before they miss it like mad. The kids are old enough for childcare, so it makes sense. At least I hope that's all it is and nothing sinister has happened.

Yes I picked up on the Turbo & Jet references.

I've been on long term sick leave for a long while now and every time I hear an aircraft overhead, my heart aches. So I'd not be at all surprised if they've gone back to flying. Changing careers and then returning, happens quite a lot.

"So I'd not be at all surprised if they've gone back to flying. Changing careers and then returning, happens quite a lot."

You're missing the point. Nobody would be surprised if that's the case. What's baffling to people is that after years of putting everything out there they suddenly wiped the lot (including their linked in pages) without so much as a see ya later.

Unless they're wanting this kind of speculation maybe? Wonder if their followers have been part of some weird Netflix experiment 🤣

"I've messaged them but haven't had any reply yet."

You'll get a mention in the Netflix doc then 👀

DH is a pilot and can say that this isn’t true at all for him and most others that we know in the industry at the minute. He is considering going back to being an electrician - better pay, less stress, no need to be away from home 24/7. I could go on!

Now you put it that way you're kind of right! We've all been drawn in for years then suddenly ghosted! No wonder people are feeling confused etc!

I don’t get how vlogging works but even if they decided to give up would they not get continued income from the videos? Which makes it even offer that they pulled everything.

(willing to be corrected here, I’m the last person in the world to be a vlogger)

the pay for family type vlogs on YouTube can be pretty rubbish and it’s not as evergreen , if you’re wanting privacy it’s probably not worth it

I'm not missing any point? I'm speculating on the hat may have happened? If they have gone back to flying then it's totally understandable if they've decided to wipe all traces of their online presence. It may have been a requirement of their airport security clearance (it's crazily in depth and thorough) it may also have been an airline requirement. In the US it's common to remain a content creator when flying but most UK airlines prohibit it as part of their social media policy though some do allow it.
Yes it would be rude of them not to say goodbye but perhaps they were pushed into it by hateful comments? It's only a theory.

@goldenretrievermum5 It may not be his experience but he cannot speak for everyone! I've been out of the industry a while now but many I know are still very much passionate about aviation, despite the appalling pay & conditions

This is true. But if my theory is correct about airline policies/security clearance then leaving them up may not be possible. May be the difference between a job offer or not. Like I say though it's only a theory and does vary depending on the airline

I know he cannot speak for everyone, as I said above this is very much the majority opinion in our circle of aviation industry friends too. I do not know a single pilot who can say that they are truly happy in their job at the minute. This doesn’t mean that they’re not passionate about flying itself which your comment seems to imply. Plenty of ways to still get some hobby flying time in without having to devote your life + career to it.

I agree with this. The few pilots I know who work within Europe and America aren’t happy with pay and conditions and the enormous amount of stress the job entails.

The few pilots I know who live here (Aus) decline to fly internationally anymore. Aviation isn’t a family friendly industry.

I don’t think they’ve deleted everything because of their jobs. There’d be no reason whatsoever to delete their LinkedIn etc. Or their cats’ instagram page - hardly a security threat!

I know vlogging hasn’t earned them much (their accounts are online via companies house - £800 a year - I personally wouldn’t bother), but it’s such a knee jerk reaction to delete everything, every trace.

That is why everyone is speculating because it’s so strange to have everything online for years and to then vanish.

I know they don’t owe any explanation but people and businesses have sent them gifts for years.

I am guessing they have split up.

Yh 10 years ago you'd leave it all up for passive income but these days ? Nah it's just 100's if not thousands of people you dont know looking at pictures of your kids/family with all the risk that comes along with it while a steady stream of insults & abuse piles up in the comment section without anybody in charge of deleting or blocking problem accounts.

"I'm not missing any point? I'm speculating on the hat may have happened?

For Tui? No it's not 😅 and it's not their policy to have to wipe linked in and never has been.

You made it sound as if it's perfectly normal behaviour what they've done when it isn't. That's the point you're missing. That's why people are speculating.

I also don't know any happy pilots, admittedly I only know two but they've hated it for years.

"This is true. But if my theory is correct about airline policies/security clearance then leaving them up may not be possible. May be the difference between a job offer or not. Like I say though it's only a theory and does vary depending on the airline"

Which airline won't employ people on linked in?

agree! if it was job related which i highly doubt they would of told their fans and just move on. Could be a split up or something to do with the girls
something dark and sinister which someone knows and not spilling the tea.
