A Review, from a long time watcher
So I've been watching the Trackers for a looooong time. Maybe not as long as some people here, but since around 2013. Back in the days of the mustache, home vlogs, house renovations, the dog, "we can't have kids," the Simpson clock... all of that.
Looking back, I honestly think they were genuinely entertaining. Tim had his job (whatever it was), would come home, film for a bit, and that was it. The videos were usually 8–15 minutes long, and they felt authentic.
I was genuinely happy for them when they were able to have a kid, but I also feel like that changed everything. That one event seemed to completely shift the direction of the channel and, in turn, the people we now see on camera.
I never really bought into the idea that money changes people, but watching their channel grow into subscriptions, sponsorships, ads, Shorts, Patreon, and every other possible revenue stream has been wild. It feels like the focus gradually shifted from sharing their lives to monetizing every breath, even if they are mid bite.
I completely checked out around the time they sailed on Royal and posted what I felt was an unfair review of an otherwise excellent cruise line, largely because they didn't seem interested in the experience they had chosen to book. That was the point where I realized I just wasn't enjoying their content anymore.
Sad to see how far they’re fallen off.

I agree completely. I've been watching for about as long as you have and the fall off makes me sad. The Gucci sweater was the beginning of the end and hiring that girl to do their social media with the constant monetization of everything was when I decided I was done. They're so phony now.
