all right Ben Ben just stay here just
don't move don't you guys hate it when
you're trying to exploit the cuteness of
your loved ones for more internet views
but they don't want to cooperate I hate
that anyway totally unrelated to what I
just said today we're gonna be talking
about the ACE family you're not going to
the echo investiture here it's you're
evil you have to go before we get to
them though I want to talk a little bit
more generally about something I've
noticed for a long time um that I think
has gotten more prevalent with youtubers
there's always been this kind of
interesting phenomenon with artists
where they're able to build a career out
of a sense of relatability they have
something that people connect with but
what happens is so many people connect
with the art that they made that they
start becoming really successful they
start becoming really popular and rich
and over time they make more and more
money they start changing slowly until
they get so far removed from where they
started that they no longer have the
qualities that people gravitated towards
in the first place in comedy I think of
someone like Jerry Seinfeld who for a
long time was sort of like the voice of
the average person he would take very
mundane things that everybody
experienced everybody could relate to
and make jokes about them you know what
else is funny about socks they always
give you that little when you're buying
that little plastic hanger on the top I
love that they always give that to you
like you've got some useful but then
like 20 years passes and he becomes the
richest comedian in the world and now
can't possibly connect to the people who
made him famous in the first place you
know he probably only flies first class
now I'm sure he has assistants to handle
certain mundane tasks the kind of things
that he would maybe write jokes about in
the past I'm not saying he doesn't
deserve a success I think he absolutely
does I'm just saying from like an
artistic standpoint how could you
continue to make observations and write
jokes about things that everybody
experiences if you no longer have to
experience those things yourself I would
say Kanye West is probably another good
example of this you know used to make
really good music that everybody
gravitated towards and now he's so
whatever he's not even a person anymore
that's what like astronomical success
can do to people it can completely
change them anyway relating this back to
YouTube I think this is something that's
happening a lot now especially with
vloggers because for a lot of them that
Mountain they make is them right so as
they change so does their content now
for me the biggest example of this is
the ace family they didn't really get on
my radar until like a couple months ago
when I saw this video on trending you
won't believe what's happening with the
new ace family house now for those who
you don't know I'll sum it up real quick
the ACE family is a family blogging
channel there's Austin Katherine their
two kids elle and Alya
I think is her name and for the past
like year or so a lot of their videos
have been about the saga of them
building their new house their new 11
bedroom 11 bathroom house but what
bothers me with them is watching some of
their videos about their house is how
many things they complain about how many
problems that they project onto the
world that people would kill to have
Catherine and I are in discussion of who
want to move in any day now or do we
want to wait until the landscape is
complete so it's either we move in
within the next few days with the
landscape not being done or we wait
until everything is complete like the
landscaping is like being a big part of
the house and so it make the house look
complete so look at their house look how
disgusting that house is good would you
want to live there
no especially not if there's no grass
outside yet for a temporary amount of
time it's just like a big disappointment
right now it just goes on for like four
minutes I'm not exaggerating we don't
know how long it's gonna take
I thought their house [ __ ] burned
down or something like you look at the
thumbnail and you think wow something
bad happened no it's just like the trees
aren't in yet we do it it's not a big
deal I mean it is a big deal we're
making a big deal out of it but I don't
mind there's just so many factors into
this and like we're still in the other
place another house which we don't want
to be in there anymore and it's also
fluttering for us okay so maybe that's
why they're frustrated because maybe the
house they live in now kind of sucks
maybe they live in like a dinky little
place that's too small for them so let's
see where they live now oh they already
live in a mansion they just want to move
into a bigger one so here's an older
video with a hilariously similar title
same kind of thing we can't believe this
happened to our new house so again
you're thinking like man I'm about to
feel bad for these guys I bet something
really horrible happened to their new
house let's see what it was okay and I
are a little upset right now so the
floor was already supposed to be done by
now in order to put the wood you have to
put the tile and the workers put the
wrong tile so they had to take it off so
obviously this is delaying things
so you're telling me that the house
they're building that's the size of a
mall there's minor construction setbacks
here and there oh man it's almost like
that's how all construction works that
[ __ ] just always goes wrong now I
totally understand why this would be
frustrating for them but the way they do
it almost comes off as manipulative when
you have this very minor thing that
comes up and you make a huge deal out of
it you title the video that to get
people to click on the video so in that
way you actually profit it off this
situation because you've got a video out
of it and before you broke the bad news
that people came here to see you did
this we're getting ready to head over to
the new house we just received some some
news so I guess we'll see y'all when we
get there a family we're curious to know
who wears a family merch
while watching the ACE family if you
wear an ace family shirt or whatever it
is while you're watching us all you can
do is tag us on the give you a shout out
and if you don't have any a smelly merch
all you gotta do is go to shop a semi
comm link is always in description all
right family so kind I are a little
upset I got a do to buy your shirt is go
to your website pay for it just seems
kind of manipulative to say hey I got
some bad news I'm gonna go tell you and
on the way there I'm gonna plug our
merch and now I'm gonna see something
that makes you feel bad for me gosh if
only there was a way to support us
financially maybe something I just kind
of mentioned a few seconds ago like is
always a mystery so now we're about five
minutes into the video where they've
already subtly plugs their merch and
then immediately given us incentive to
buy their merch to financially support
them during this trying time so then
what do they do they drive back to their
smaller mansion and show off the new car
they just bought this is something they
do a lot now they go back and forth
between flexing and showing off their
insane amount of wealth to complaining
about something that really they have no
reason to publicly complain about here's
another example of that from their most
recent video where they're finally I
guess fully moved into their new house
after months of having to live in us
don't they start this video by showing
off their big beautiful gym with a big
beautiful view
they haven't complained about anything
yet just give it a minute they will it's
so nice to be able to go from the
fitness gym to our master bedroom
instead of having to go all the way
downstairs can you imagine how difficult
that must have been for them thank God
they made it out of that hell from the
fitness gym to our master bedroom so
it's easy access we don't have to go all
the way downstairs and back upstairs I
think that's something we all can relate
to right when you're fully functioning
home gym your fitness center that's
inside your home that you have a
dedicated room for is all the way
downstairs but your room is upstairs
these aren't problems that real people
have I'm sure a lot of you can relate to
that and for me I think it's just how
they so casually complain about these
things without realizing without
thinking like oh this kind of makes us
sound unlikable they've gone from maybe
being this like relatable family who
does relatable family things to being
this spectacle that's kind of what it is
now that's why I'm curious watching
these videos it's like look at this
[ __ ] house it's beautiful it's huge
she loves you know know you might be
thinking I'm sure I'll get comments
about this like oh you're just jealous
yeah of course I'm [ __ ] jealous look
at this [ __ ] later in the video here's
another example of like a brag and a
complaint to rolled into one
oh the hardened it looks a family it is
see this ball is extremely long here
look how long this pool is Heist you
have any idea how hard it was to do it I
just did I had to swim so far cuz the
pools so big just like every other
extraordinarily wealthy person on the
internet they always try to make it seem
like no we're humble we're just like you
we're normal people too like when
they're showing up their closet you guys
know we have a lot of stuff just in
general like he has so many shoes I have
a lot of clothes
well I don't have much clothes but I
just feel like this might not be enough
space for awesome shoes because he has
hey Stanley I only have like three
parishes Katherine you're exaggerating
stuff you know no no she's lying I just
have like a couple pairs of shoes okay
don't watch any of our other videos
where I've recorded footage of how many
shoes I have and it's very obvious that
I have a [ __ ] ton of shoes don't worry
about that it's like dude if you like
shoes and you have a lot of shoes that's
fine you're rich if you want to spend
money on shoes you can do that but don't
also stay in there and be like guys I'm
not materialistic
I don't have a lot of shoes I just wear
Gucci all the time and I have a lot of
shoes and I think that's the thing that
rubs me the wrong way with this family
and why a lot of other people don't like
this family it's because of how fake
they are like they try to act like
they're these perfect people this
perfect family when at this point
they're pretty notoriously Shady and
then of course they also try to act like
oh we're just regular people you have
regular problems just like everybody
else and then they explain what their
problems are and you're like wait what
I'm sure a lot of you can relate to that
that's why you're so upset that's what
you're using is clickbait for this video
really you know when you lose your
wallet well imagine how hard that must
be for us cuz our house is so big right
I got a check like 20 or old sometimes
if
my wallet which should be easy to find
cuz it's so big and fat filled with
money do you think other people are
gonna relate to this you think people
are gonna watch this and feel bad for
you clearly they don't because they
think so little of their fans because
there was another video where they were
trying to justify the things they were
complaining about and why they were
complaining about them but they only
made them worse because Austin said this
at the same time to nobody who realizes
how hard it is to actually build your
own home yeah like what goes into it
look guys I understand that you all are
so broke and so stupid that you could
never build your own house like we are
or what he ever built your own home
literally only we know what it's like to
build your own house no one else could
know that and certainly not you guys is
right like do you really think that no
one else has ever built their own home
before what's wrong with you as shitty
as it is though like their fans are so
young that this manipulation totally
works you scroll through the comments
and they're all like oh wow you guys
have been through everything I can't
believe how strong you are for putting
up with all this [ __ ] and it's so well
earned and like he mentions in another
video how the older daughter has seen it
all she's been through everything else
been through it all with us what you
moved from one mansion to another
mansion to a third mansion is that the
adversity that you're experiencing is
that what you're describing is like oh
man we've been through it all or by been
through everything are you talking about
the backlash you've received that was
all well deserved because you guys have
done shitty things like when you did
that charity event and lied about how
much money you were gonna give away like
when you filmed Catherine's kids sister
buying a dildo lollipop that you
encouraged her to buy because you
thought it would be funny or when you
did that other charity event that wasn't
actually a charity event because your
friend won all the money I feel like
youtubers do that [ __ ] all the time
where they mess up they get backlash for
messing up and then they try to use the
backlash they're getting to garner
sympathy like Oh everyone's mad at us
woe is me it's like no it's your fault
but hey at least these guys are careful
about who they collaborate with
I mean they're always making videos with
Jake Paul a serial abuser Chris Brown
that definitely helps gain some respect
I don't know it's just like I watch
their videos because they're always
numbered to unfriend enlike they're just
shoved down your throats if you go on
YouTube and I just I don't see anything
relatable about these people I don't see
anything human about them like I'm not
so sure they've ever even watched a
YouTube video because Austin doesn't
even seem to know where the subscribe
button is you are new to this channel
make sure you hit that subscribe button
and join the family make sure you guys
subscribe button and join the fan make
sure you hit that subscribe button join
the family ever been above the video
like it's weird too because there's
something almost paradoxical about this
type of content there's a lot of people
on YouTube who do this where it's like
someone gets really rich from making
content and so now their content is
basically just about how rich they are
but like how did they get rich in the
first place because you can't not be
rich and get rich for making videos
about how rich you are if you're not
rich you know what I'm saying like I
don't really know how rice gum blew up
the way he did but I feel like at a
certain point most of his videos are
kind of just centered around how wealthy
is you know all the things he can buy
from the money he's made for making
videos what like is that your videos now
it's just how you're making money from
videos but you know what I think the
fact that this seems to happen so easily
makes it only that much more impressive
when youtubers avoid doing this I think
the perfect example of someone who
hasn't changed with their wealth is
jenna Marbles like she has been on
YouTube forever she's obviously made a
lot of money from YouTube you can see it
she has a big beautiful house that she
bought and that's the kind of thing that
could drastically change her content
maybe now it's just like flexing her
wealth and showing off all the things he
can buy but that's not at all what's
happened she hasn't changed her content
at all like look at her videos they're
so weird and funny and original like her
big beautiful house is just the
background of her videos it's not the
subject of her videos but unfortunately
it's rare you know for every jenna
Marbles there's three rice comes for a
families and not even all of them are
bad people it's just like an unfortunate
byproduct of getting really successful
as you completely change as a person
sometimes you know what though
[ __ ] all this I'm tired of complaining
because
yeah the ace family may have a nice 10
million dollars Jesus Christ 10 million
dollar house for whatever I don't care
about that cuz you know who else has a
nice place me this is a two-bedroom
apartment yeah and you know what I think
it's time I show it off with a house
tour one thing I think that's kind of
funny about the ACE family is in their
pursuit of flexing because of their
insistence on showing off the outside of
their house they've doxed themselves
three different times like just don't
film in front of your house and then
people won't know what your house looks
like but they can because it's more
important that people see how big their
house is then that they have privacy
anyway what I'm saying is they may not
care about privacy but today's sponsor
does I got a haircut most people care
about privacy I'm sure you do right if
it wasn't for privacy
I could see your bare butt right now but
I can't because pants what if I told you
that every time you go on the internet
your data is at risk of being sniffed
out by ad companies your service
provider even hackers you'd probably be
like no [ __ ] drew that's how the
internet works well it doesn't have to
be not if you're using a virtual private
network what I'm saying is VPNs are like
pants for the Internet I know it's kind
of a stretch but I had to make sure you
guys were listening VPNs mask your IP
address so even the websites you visit
won't be able to identify you and it
prevents others from collecting your
information over a public Wi-Fi like if
you're at an airport or a coffee shop
and if you're in the market for a VPN
expressvpn is the way to go they've got
servers in 94 countries they've got the
fastest connection speeds
they've got 24/7 customer support
they've got apps or ever device even
your router but maybe you're the type of
person who doesn't care about your data
maybe you like to post drone footage of
the front of your house on the Internet
well you might still like this with
expressvpn you can unblock content
that's not available in your region so
like a couple months ago when I was
trying to watch Batman on Netflix but it
wasn't available in America I just
clicked a couple buttons told him I was
