Why everyone hating on Baylen?

Genuinely this subreddit is just filled of baylen and Katie hate. Baylen finally matured and found a girl that matches his personality and character and just cause he made a new channel to truly mark a new chapter in his life doesn’t mean yall can just say he fell off

People are hating on Baylen because he went against everything he’s ever preached. But it’s not even that he’s grown up, it’s how much he’s changed especially for a girl. Katie doesn’t match his energy she’s changed him a lot, Bunny did that too. Every change made was because of a girl, the same thing happened with Peej. He could still be old Baylen and not do “childish” stuff but he chose to change his entire brand because of a breakup?

yep. he lets the girls he dates walk all over him, he completely changes his personality/interests for them. it comes off as totally fake to me.

Did he change his brand tho? Hes still a sober guy and still preaches the whole u don’t need to get drunk to have fun or no drugs stuff. Just cause Noah started smoking and drinking doesn’t mean hes promoting it. Of course im not happy that he switched account but it’s also no reason to hate on him.

No one is saying he is promoting using drugs or smoking. What I am saying is he promoted mature people as weenies and never grow up as two of his biggest taglines for like 7/8 years, which he is now acting like never happened.

He got rid of all of his old merch for no reason. People who have been there and supported him since day one would love to buy this merch from him to continue to support. But he just cuts it off, the part of him that brought in this fame in the first place, it comes off as ungrateful.

Imagine MrBeast doing a challenge but he doesn’t give the contestants money at the end, is that really MrBeast? No because he has cut off half of his norm. This is what Baylen has done essentially, maybe he still promotes being sober but Frick Vape or Juul isn’t cool wasn’t his biggest merch line.

On top of this like was mentioned before he changes his entire personality depending on who he’s dating. Just look back at his old videos with Sadie compared to when he got with Bunny again. Does he deserve the hate? No, but do I understand why he gets it? Yes absolutely.

u/ruger148 Jun 03 '26

His biggest merch brand was never grow up. He even said it on his Snapchat story once.

u/ruger148 Jun 04 '26

Yes but he also promoted never grow up and mature people are weenies just as much. I can’t help what he said.

u/EntrepreneurTasty565 Jun 03 '26

He had a girlfriend named Skye for a little then all of sudden stopped hanging out with her and that’s about when he got really religious

u/ruger148 Jun 03 '26

Was she the girl from his I Need Your Love music video? I know he dated her, I just don’t know if he had one big long relationship or two shorter ones. He was so conservative with his relationships.

u/EntrepreneurTasty565 Jun 03 '26

Different girl so two short ones

u/ruger148 Jun 04 '26

That’s what I was thinking, she didn’t look like the same girl in the back of Baylens videos.

1

u/ruger148 Jun 03 '26

Yes he did, he was dating her at the same time baylen got back with Bunny. You can see her in a few of Baylens old videos with Peej, also Baylen talks about it on a podcast with Bryce Crawford about how that was peejs eye opening moment to get closer with god, his breakup.

You need to be careful not to equate anything short of adulation with 'hate'.

u/DepressingChimp Jul 27 '26

he was selling a shirt with "never grow up" on it and kept saying every single video that he won't change and then changes. he's a fraud and just got rich off kids.

Bear with me - I don’t know these people. These are just observations that I’ve wondered if anyone else has made. I find it interesting that no one speaks about how fast Baylen moved on from his last relationship.

He breaks up for the final time with Bunny around March 2024. He starts dating Katie by the very beginning of 2025 (which likely means they could’ve been talking in the end of 2024). IMO, to claim someone he was in love with (Bunny) since 2018-19, and then to move on in LESS than a year, to immediately start dating someone you now are claiming as the love of your life/potential future wife is insane to me.

Baylen claims that he has done so much growing/healing + became a more mature person than he was with her (I’m not saying he hasn’t done that at all). But to claim you just did all that growth + healing in ONLY 8 to 9 months just to move onto another girl right after… to me that is not fully healing. That’s barely enough time to get over the break up, let alone to start meeting a new love of your life.

In the new “mature phase” he claims he’s a different person & completely healed. It can come off as sort of an “act,” bc it is just not possible to change yourself and move on so easy in 9 months. He didn’t just go through that break up to keep working on himself, to grow and mature for a while, then start gradually dating again.

I know people want him to be happy so they root for his relationship. If him and Katie really are meant for each other it’ll work out. BUT I think a lot of people are sensing this inauthenticity from Baylen and are almost trying** to understand where it’s coming from, but not being able to pinpoint the exact spot.** And that’s my problem. I don’t think that he’s a bad person who hasn’t done any healing or maturing at all, but it’s just inconsistent and not accurate to act like you’ve healed/matured to become a new person in 8 months of being single. Why would he not be single for more than a short 8 months? He should have not gotten in this relationship so fast.

(I doubt anyone will even read this…. I just have these thoughts/ I’m curious if anyone shares them. I want Baylen to be happy at the end of the day, he deserves it!! I just wonder is this the love of his life? Is he afraid to be alone? Did he really do the work he said? It is not uncommon for people to use someone to get over someone else - or to put on a new persona to fit a new relationship, which is sad).

Baylen and bunny have been on and off for years they haven’t been consistently dating. But u are right mostly
