I miss the authenticity of the old UA-cam too, Amy! I’m hardly on UA-cam at all anymore these days. You hadn’t shown up in my feed in a while, so I came to catch up. 🤗 I enjoy Hillary over at Old World Home.
I love your channel so real
Absolutely agree. Lots of show offs and stupid stuff. That's one of the reasons we LOVE your channel. Hey look...normal people!!! Don't ever change...👍⚘️💖
You think people will get embarrassed acting the way they do. It makes me cringe and I don't even know them.
I love your channel, and I miss the old UA-cam days. I currently enjoy videos from (you!) Old World Home, India Batson, Lydia Senn, Natalie Bennett, Sarah Therese Co, Standard American Mom, and Violin MD.
+ Dawn at The Minimal Mom
I’m with you on this! I still would rather wholesome family vlogs and educational. I have diabetes, so found your videos this way. I love it!
I agree, UA-cam is so fake now. That’s why you need to stay on yt. I like real relatable people. That’s why I mostly like cooking channels nowadays. Not selling channels and definitely not fake people.
Oh man I feel this.
I watch Somers In Alaska, Violett Vlogs, Kara and Nate, Old World Home, Bill and Lisa's adventures, Doresett Doorstep, and I LOVE Monkey Life. There are 16 seasons on right now and I'm so in love with it. It follows a rescue in England that rehabilitates and rehomes apes.
I like Lynette Yoder. It’s a beautiful Amish family living in FL.
Oh I would love to watch an Amish family. I definitely have to look them up. Thank you.
I found her! So fun
@ her videos are beautifully done and very calming. Just a real person raising her family. So glad you found them and I hope you like the videos!!
Agreed! I miss the raw vlogs and chats of the 2010 era! Some that are still relatable - The Wads (does vlogs and cooking and shop with me - which I usually skip), Shannon Torrens, FrugalFit Mom (lots of cooking videos).
Yep, “old UA-cam” went away I think right around the time that emergency room videos were what were making family channels take off. I don’t think it ever was the same after that.
I went over to Amazon during the pandemic and it’s been a great move for me financially. My Amazon storefront has brought in more than YT ever did. I do miss the early days of YT but I don’t think we are ever getting that back. It was a special time! 😄💜
Also, one of the best kept secrets for some reason is that blogs get a way higher RPM than YT these days. Like 10x+ the RPM rate? so the past few years I’ve been focusing more on blogging. You would be great at that too I think!
I used to consider myself a UA-camr but now it’s way down the list. So I just say content creator to encompass everything. Just keep going! There are definitely people that want real, on this platform but other platforms too! 😄
I so agree with you! Nobody is relatable any more!! I am a crafter so I watch my scrapbooking videos mostly. There are not any vloggers I enjoy any more. I do love The Wads. She is a little bit of a mess and a little more relatable. She has a beautiful house but never changed from the person she was when she had a regular house.
That's why I struggle to watch the WADS. I'm a minimalist and organized and she just brings so much stuff into the home and her life is chaotic. She's cute and fun though! 😂
You can always tell youtube your not interested in the video thats what i do
You are so relatable. Agree 100% with your thoughts on UA-cam.
Also. “Divorce is popular.” 😂
Amy, I've watched your channel since Henry started walking....can't believe he's so tall now! I really like your cooking videos. Keep them coming!
Oh Amy!! I’ve missed your videos - it’s Tiffany from Tiffany Panini! I agree with this, too. My content has obviously switched, from mom vlogs to budget content but, I’d love to get more into lifestyle type videos. I hate to say that I don’t know if it’ll ever go back to how it was back in the OG days, from when we all started. Loraandlayton, Jeni, Stephanie, so many that I remember from back then…now everything is fake. People start making more money off their content and they start to change.
One girl I do like, Sam. I can’t think of her UA-cam but, she’s on Instagram and TikTok. It’s hard to find real anymore
I miss old UA-cam so much. It used to feel more like a community. Now it’s a marketing and entertainment platform. “I remember the days . . . “ 👵🏻 😂 I really do miss it. I’m not super consistent with watching people, but am mostly in the homeschool niche. And then random topics I binge until I’m sick of them.
I miss the friendships.... The comment sections and hearing about everyone.
@ yes! It really felt like a global mom’s group. I don’t feel comfortable sharing like we did then, but it was a whole other world, and just . . . different. It was a good time to be on UA-cam. :)
I still watch you and leighann, and team balmert (idk if that's how you spell it) and I miss Courtneyhail! UA-cam isn't what it used to be. It's like all the videos that are on UA-cam are all for views just fake stuff. Just to get someone to watch they will do anything!
@@cheriewallace9767 ❤
But even some of those are not always relatable, thats why im watching you. Very relatable
I love realness too, and it's sorely lacking on UA-cam. Yours is one of the last real channels i watch, besides "real" people with specific topic channels, like cooking (Emmymade, Anti Chef) or thrifting, or "green" content. I also love ASMR role-playing videos (Gentle Whispering ASMR). You might also like Erin Effs. She's been around forever but has stayed relatively small. She does vintage thrifting content, and just seems really real and smiley, plus she's Canadian! 🇨🇦 😊
I like Just the Bells 10 and Our Tribe of Many. They have a lot of vlogs and cooking videos.
I agree! I grew up on UA-cam and it’s not the same as it used to be. I find myself bored because theres nothing new. Everyone is the same fake online person
I enjoy watching Old World Home and also Davee Killian.
I am relatable. I post dog videos, cooking food, wildlife, plus random stuff
I like farming videos and living with type one, some logging too!
I've been enjoying Jen White's channel. She's doing Vlogmas. Her life is different from mine but interesting and enjoyable for me to watch!
I stopped watching most of the mommy channels...you are one of the only moms I watch. I mostly now watch true crime...it's my guilty pleasure. I love watching your videos...for the realness and the relatability. I also have kids about your kids age, I've been watching you since you were pregnant with Henry...
True crime stuff is so scary to me. I watch really junky reality TV like sister wives. Lol I really would like to find some UA-cam channels to watch that aren't cooking channels. Thanks for watching all these years. That's a long time. Henry's almost 16.
agreed, I try 2 be real on both channels and don't get many views. I also hate fake people who get millions of views. thanks 4 being real throughout ur entire UA-cam career.
Kendal, I appreciate that. You've been here for so many years. 🥰♥️
So I’ve found the most real people in the homeschool and /or homesteading family channels. My favorite channel is Jason and Julie. They are just great down to earth people with a large family. I also enjoy Fields full house and somersinalaska. I think there are just so many channels out there that if your not really specific in what you search for you will end up with just top channels and alot of those tend towards the unrealistic imo. Plus once you start watching one it just recommends more like it. Same goes for political channels, crafting or rural life channels. It depends on your interests. There used to be many fewer channels so all mom channels could just be lumped together. Now everything is specialized. Still those rural living mamas got it in the bag for being most down to earth. ❤
Yes, acre homestead for sure. Love this channel.
Awesome! Thank you!
I still watch some of the moms from back in the day. Old World Home (used to be My So Called Home), Jaclyn Gallant, Fictional Adulting, Carol_in_Colorado….I also watch Nicole Northgarden, her thrifting videos but also her family vlogs on her family channel. Oh and The Witt Family from the UK. I’ve been watching her forever.
UA-cam has changed so much I agree. I’ve never really followed any large channels because they really do seem so fake, unrelatable.
I am so glad I made this because you guys are giving me so many new people to watch! I just subscribed to old world home! I remember her. I'm pretty sure she used to be a Dollar tree or something which wasn't my cup of tea ever But I'm excited to watch her now. I'll check out those other channels too. Thank you so much for all the great ideas.
I watch alot of people that have diabetes because i can relate to that
I think I'm just burned out of it after being a full time pancreas for the past 14 years. It's such a hard disease that no one gets. I don't even know what to say anymore.
@@dreamflight6000 I understand I have been dealing with it for 25 yrs but still enjoy diabetes relates content
Same. Sadly a lot of the people I used to watch have vanished.
Agree with everything about aspen she has a nanny for the kids these days and she’s always running places like as a parent you have to settle down she’s gonna miss all those things she missed out on with those kids but to be honest I miss the old videos in the mom community like when everyone judged how you were as a mom crunchy moms etc and to do watch Kyra but she’s all over the place lol
I agree with all the fakeness. I like the channel Emma Grace. She used to be a teaching channel but now she does motherhood and lifestyle content. She's very down to earth and sounds like she feels some of the same struggles as you in being surrounded by all the fakeness on UA-cam.
If you like food videos my favorite is Roha. It’s Korean with subtitles but she’s such a great cook and she has cute little stories about her kids. I also enjoy The Chateau Diaries. Kim Martin is a Mennonite mom and her little family is so cute. I like seeing a different lifestyle.
Korean with subtitles?! Oh my gosh. I don't know if my brain can do that. 😄 Might be fun to try though.
Oooo. I need to check out the Mennonite mom.
Hey Amy, I’m here. I still have a channel and I’ve been here for a long time. I went a different route with my videos and I follow like Stacey. There’s a few UA-camrs that don’t do UA-cam anymore. A few have passed. I watch some new people I don’t know if you’ve seen Adam the Woo. I follow Dana the one that has two girls and she moved so many times and she’s a big Disney goer and lover obviously, I follow your channel. ❤
Aww nice!!
@ it is nice. It’s nice to see some familiar faces from when I first started following your channel seeing that you’re still here. I guess some were a short time that I had a chance to get to know and some I’m still following and we still follow each other on social media, which is great. I’m glad that I came into the mommy me group. That’s how I remember seeing your channel. There was a bunch of moms in a group that someone I followed at that time shared and I checked it out so thanks for sharing and hope to see more videos from you.
I really miss the way Yt used to be as well. I don't see many moms anymore. I stay away from those fake life channels. I do watch Jaclyn Gallant, whom was part of the YTMM back in the day I believe. Every once in a while I see a face on a video I recognize and then realize that it's a 10 year old video. boo
I watch the Wad's (goofy but entertaining), Rach plus 5, Cookies and Bacon, Sammi May, Julia Pacheco, Simply Home & Harvest, Old World Home, Megan Fox unlocked...all good
So many great ideas! Thank you. Some of those sound very familiar. I'll have to look them up.
Do you watch The Schuerman Show? I love watching them and they are very real and relatable just like you 🙂 (I’m sure you already know who they are)
I have another one for you. The Lewis Family Vlog. In rural Alaska.
Oooo. That sounds fun! We are just talking about Alaska!
I would consider being on YT but im too boring lol
All thing's home and taylor Elmore
Ooo, l check them out.
Oh, something else i watch as kind of a guilty pleasure is clothing subscription videos (Stitch Fix, etc), mainly Elizabeth Holmes (not the famous scammer one!). The prices are outrageous, but i just like the try-ons. 😊
I’m not a parent, but something that always puzzles me is when people won’t show their kids, or won’t show their kids’ faces (which I totally respect!) but will then go and share the most intimate details about their kids’ lives that would certainly be embarrassing to them if they found out it was on the internet and millions of people know it.
My channel is here and still active. Normal mom life and I’ve stopped showing my tween and teen in the forefront.
I have a good core group I watch. I don’t watch many large, aka, fake, channels. And if Al they do is shop and show us Amazon stuff I unsubscribe.
I like you!! I subscribed.
I really only watch a handful of people anymore. I like scandish home, Natalie Bennett, Shannon torrens, The Wads and obviously your channel. I've also stopped watching a lot of channels because of the creator having too much sponsored content. I don't mind it once in awhile but it seems excessive now. Also, I am in a different season of life now and don't relate like I used to. So the people I watch now feel special because I don't have a lot of time to watch videos.
Natalie Bennett is still around?!
Did she get a new channel?
I watch mommy etc , Bret and Brad, oso farm, of course you❤️ to name a few...
The Aspyn stuff is weird. I agree
Very odd....I feel like she's too into herself and her looks.
Oh, you’re looking for relatable UA-camrs? I’ve got a great recommendation for you! I’ve been watching this great girl for around 15 years, she has 3 wonderful boys, cooks realistic meals, very down to earth, her name is ……Dreamflight something or other……oh wait…. 😂
Raw Beauty Kristi, Christina Randall (true crime) , Katie Van slyke
I need to watch Raw Beauty Kristi again. I haven't watched her for many years
Old world home, Mommy Etc
I follow Mommy Etc mainly in Instagram though. Old World Home sounds so familiar...I need to look her up.
Oh yeah! I remember her vaguely. I think she was a dollar store channel back in the day or something like that. I subscribed. Thanks!
I watch jesssfam still and am subscribed to you and Cullen and Katie and man older UA-camrs like Bonnie and Ellie but right now I watch Roman Atwood’s new channel he’s for sure changed and they own a laundry mat and car wash and he’s always promoting everyone to smile more and his businesses like smile more and the company who makes his line and his new energy drink company but to be honest he’s very real and down to earth also still with the all the shaytards family and their siblings etc but some channels don’t make sense
I like Lydia senn and acre homestead.
I follow Lydia on Instagram. I need to look up acre homestead
I have a lot that I love! I try to stick with channels that are Christian families.
My favorites are:
Moss Family Kitchen
Megan Fox Unlocked
Lynette Yoder
The Farming Pastor’s Wife
Violett Vlogs (Alaskan Family)
I think you would truly love them all!
Blessings 🙏
I watch a lot of people that cook. I want reality! I don't need a Pinterest worthy recipe...just one that is simple and tasty. what gets to me is the sponsored videos...once in a while is fine, but some of the people that i like to watch have started to have sponsored content in EVERY SINGLE VIDEO THEY POST! to me , that is a turn off.
Which cooking channels do you watch? I like Anti Chef... he makes mistakes, which I can relate to! Also Emmymade, who makes kind of quirky recipes, but she's fun. 😊
@@megan2176 I posted some of my favorites in the comments
I fell into the rabbit hole of lawtube! @Emilydbaker has the best community!!!!

Oh thank you. I'll look them up. I agree. I'm getting a lot of bad things but I don't like tossed in my face. 😂
