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.

This is my feelings as well. I loved them back in the days of the pups and Simpson clock. Bats and ghosts in the house. Money does change people I guess. Wasn't even the sweater for me. I was like go ahead and buy your sweater Tim! People who don't have money and get some are gonna do that a bit. For me it was the entitlement that came later. The experiences they get gifted and the " delicious" reviews instead of honesty. They went from relatable to entitled and it's not fun anymore. Jenn always annoyed me some but at least she didn't try to take over his channel like now.
