Dear Squirmy and Grubs, I hope you don't give up on those of us who watch your presentations, you are delightful, kind and smart very adult people who have earned our respect. Most of us would love to have you as friends. I offer my sincere apology for all of mean spirited people who can't appreciate your wise and gentle charm. Keep up the great work. Love, George
Shame on anyone who judges you for your love of each other. The two of you have every right as anyone else to have children, go on vacations or work on any vocation as you want. I recently came across your page and immediately fell in love with you. You do you!!!❤️❤️
Hannah sounds exactly like someone who has never worked a back breaking wage slave job in her life, and god bless, no one should, but lots of people have no other choice. Park your privilege at the door and entertain the idea that those that do work those jobs aren't paid for how gently and silken gloved they handle anyones luggage, they're paid to expedite and get shit on and off as quickly as possible, blame the disgusting capitalistic back breaking system you endorse with all your inlaid disingenuous earth killing advertisements that you shill for. That's whats driving a soulesss inconsiderate world. Get a damn grip and open your eyes
Be the You God, The Father CREATED YOU TO BE! And We don't have to EXPLAIN Why We Love You, or why it's NOT weird to Us. We Love Them, You Hate...'nuf said.
Yes shame on those people who put you down. You are entitled to the same as everyone else. Fingers crossed the IVF works and you can start a family soon. The love you have for each other is visible in everything you do or say. I also had doubters when I married a disabled man who travelled from the UK to Australia after more than 6 years in a long distance relationship. We celebrated 25 years of marriage this last Valentine’s Day. I love watching all your videos and podcasts, keep up the good work ❤
As a disabled person please don’t stop educating us. Clearly we need it. I’m not confident in my disability. I have definitely love your humor. Maybe make videos and limit comments. We need you! 💕💕
Keep talking nice and slow and clear. I have trouble understanding all these super fast talkers because there are so many noisy cars, planes and vessels.
I love all your content because it contains you two. I wish you knew how much inspiration and comfort you bring to those of us who truly love you both. I am a 68 year old woman who has my 45 year old disabled daughter living with me. You have helped me tremendously fighting for her rights and keeping her safe from the ugly people.❤❤
Friends I can't even begin to tell you how embarrassed I am to be part of the human race sometimes. Why do these horrible people even follow you if they don't support you and others who gladly share their lives with us so graciously. I vow to watch everything you post cos I really enjoy your relationship and the laughs we have together at this bonkers world. Love as always Janice 👵 🇬🇧 xxxx
I'll cheer you on any time you need to recover from nasty comments. And I won't tell you not to feel what you're feeling. I'll just explain how much you mean to me, both of you. ❤❤
I’m sorry you have to deal with mean people. I appreciate your openness and opening up about your life and experiences. I find the both of you very genuine people.❤
You help me understand disability and the level of understanding and acceptance I have for my disabled child. Love your daily life vlogs and travel vlogs AND I respect if you choose to take time out to protect and heal your mental health from the very unkind world we live in. Don’t give up AND do what works for you x love you guys!
It is, indeed, a junkyard out there. Great episode you guys! Yes, I've noticed you guys posting less, but figured it was because of travel and ivf. ❤️ we are grateful for the videos you give us and we will be happy to watch more when you feel up to making more ❤
Protect your hearts and protect your peace. You don't owe us anything. If you need to take a break or leave social media altogether, it is truly okay. People will just have to adjust. Your well being is the most important thing. We love and support you no matter what. ❤
I don't know what has become of people these days. You two offer an educational and entertaining program. You two are an inspiration to others. love you!
I have definitely noticed and it’s disappointing but you have to take care of you. As much as we love you, none of us are going to die if you post less. We that are committed will just be that more excited every time we get a notification 🎉. Your mental and physical health matter most. Love you both.
If they can manufacture wheelchair-accessible vans, then they can certainly retrofit planes for travel as well. As always, it's about money so I imagine there'll be an upcharge for wheelchair space.
But each car accessory is build to fit the particular wheelchair. Flying you are talking about a 2 year old, to 400+ pound electric wheel chairs this issue is not one size fits all. I have a wheelchair bound son so can see from both sides..
Not this this is gonna make you feel better, but I’ve been married 35 yrs, no disability. I watch cause your both inspiring! I have people that also don’t understand my marriage. I just think some people find happiness in poking at others! Just put that middle finger up and live life!❤😂
Thanks for making me less ignorant ❤️🙌🏽 A library near me is making it more accessible for people with wheelchairs. They even made a big post outside about it. My friend said he couldn't believe they are finally doing this. He also said someone could have sued the library.
Please know I appreciate everything you do from your advocacy to relationship to everyday life. Be encouraged and know you are supported by us all nice viewers
Personally, You always make me smile and the struggles with travel in your life are something everyone should be made aware of. Your IVF story is full of info for people who are struggling with this situation. Thank you for sharing!
Oh guys! I’ve only recently discovered you on TH-cam and you guys are literally one of my all time favorites to watch. It’s crazy to think that people hate on you with you’re amazing personalities and way you respect one another. I support your efforts and we all have our flaws.
@@sarahsaroushka I seen them on the Walmart site. It was available for pickup though, so it had to be in store. I live in Florida. I rarely go in store anymore. Pickup is a lifesaver for me as a working mom.
That is absolutely essential!! I never even thought about this!! I just assumed that you were accommodated in that area. I’m so very sorry!!! I feel so stupid!!!
I noticed your videos were primarily your podcast but I definitely didn’t notice a decline in your presence online. You never miss a weekly upload and when I get two videos a week I’m pleasantly surprised! 😊 Love you guys
I’ve just retired and have worked for many A holes. It hurts. But hind site tells me forgiveness is a way to succeed. Self love and not getting your identity from others is key. Wish you the best! 🎉
Don't ever feel guilty about prioritizing your mental health. Your videos are a source of comfort and joy for me. Both of you with your humor and honesty and just the genuine nature of you--it makes me happy to watch your journey. If you guys ever needed to step back more, take a complete break, stop, or whatever it is you figure out to make the jerks and trolls easier to... survive, I'd completely understand and know you're just doing what you need to in order to take care of each other. Thank you for being awesome all these years and bringing me joy 🥰
You know that you two are loved by your followers. I can’t imagine what you both go through with the haters and others. And I miss you on social media! ❤
Love you guys 💜💜 I can't imagine what it's like with the audience you're gaining - awesome for spreading your message and normalizing your life! But scary at the same time, I know I would be really sensitive to the hatred too. You're doing so much good work though, the internet is lucky to have you.
My son Being a parent a disabled child I totally understand all your frustrations. Unfortunately, some able body people do not have the insight of how a disabled person can be married, parent a child, have a job, drive, the list can go on and on. Everyone in this world have something different or unique about us. Some peoples are more noticeable than others, however it does not make someone unable to do whatever it is that they are trying to achieve. We all have feelings, disabled and able body alike. I pray your IVF journey goes well. You guys' ROCK! It's easy for me to say don't let what people say offend you. What you two are doing is educating others out there. Keep up the awesome work and just be yourselves.
I didn’t even realize you guys were over a million! Congrats! Heck I’ve been watching you guys long before you guys even got married or bought your house way back when you guys had under 100 thousand subs and I don’t pay attention to your sub count so I had no idea you guys have grown so much but I’m happy for you guys and I really enjoy your channel and loved it ling before the whole junkyard mayhem podcast as well, it’s always been fun and I’ve always laughed!! Thank you!!! 35:50
Wt I saw is her caring and love which every human being expects...wt u saw is his disability...try to look in a manner of appreciating positive aspect...
I actually appreciate that you guys put your mental health first. No reason to feel guilty. Mental health is important, and putting yourselves (and each other) first should be more common among influencers . Take time to rest, we appreciate what ever posts you are able to do:)
It brings sadness to my heart that some people can be so awful to you both. I hope you continue to create the content that is so valuable and means so much to you both. I appreciate hearing from you.
No, don’t ever give up. I love watching you guys. Perhaps we, your audience are getting complacent too in not giving you back as much feedback as we did when we first met you. So when is your next comedy fiction book Shane? Have you thought about doing a fiction book, a disabled hero? A Black Op which has been wheel-chaired? And continues to work.
I’ve been following for several years! Probably close to the start of your channel. I have loved you both for so long. I respect & admire who you both are individually and as a couple! I have for sure noticed the decrease in your post but I’m thankful for the podcast! Never miss it! Your mental health comes first! Thanks for always being so open and honest! 🥰❤️
You guys are wonderful advocates, funny, loving and clearly made for each other. I've followed you for a long time. It took me until my 50s to realize how meaningless a strangers negativity towards me was. There are so many sad and bitter people out there. Be yourselves and be happy, I hope you live long, interesting lives together!
I hope you guys give yourselves credit for some of these advancements in disability and flying. You guys keep shining a light of this stuff and we know it makes a difference. I’ve noticed you guys posting less, but attributed it to IVF and travel. Almost every creater I’ve followed for any significant amount of time ends up feeling the pressure and the “hate.” I can’t imagine seeing the kind of comments you guys get every day.
Please please do not feel guilty. You are so generous to let us share your lives, even if it was just a glimpse. You give of not only your time but your privacy, we are lucky to have you. As a disabled person myself I can only appreciate how much you have done for awareness and understanding. I hate the thought that you spend time daily feeling guilty. Pls change that into pride that you have implemented healthy boundaries for your own sakes, whilst still being so giving to us all. Also, at this time in your life I think it’s normal to be more aware especially when bringing children into the equation. It is healthy and admirable. Thanks for everything you do 💜
We're the generous ones. This is Shane & Hannah's job, and it has made them wealthy. They travel and live a pretty amazing life compared to a lot of America. Just like all of us have to go to work and deal with the daily grind, there are drawbacks to everything. If they want less public scrutiny (which comes with tons of assholes with an opinion) then they could get more conventional jobs. I don't support anyone hating on anyone, don't get me wrong, but let's not pretend they are doing a charity by recording their lives. This is a problem all influencers have. Nothing in life is free and if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Generosity is not only financial. As a disabled person myself I would never want to share my private medical details, that is generous. I would never be able to share a relationship online, that is generous. I would never be brave enough to talk about ableism publicly, that is generous. I am well aware this is their job. That doesn’t mean that I cannot offer admiration and respect for the fact that they do it. The irony of me writing a kind comment from my lived experience as a disabled person and you then saying you don’t advocate for hate, whilst being negative is so ironic. Could have just scrolled on by but you had to put your two cents in when all you talked about was financial aspects. Hannah and Shane are so generous with their time, lives and teaching us about ableism, whether they are paid for it is irrelevant to me. Disagree all you want, but it’s my opinion and that’s not changing 😊
About damn time!!!!! Where I used to work I was on a committee that dealt with how our place handled accessibility. We had trouble trying to get tjose that could make changes understand the issues...until we convinced them to try to navigate in a manual wheelchair. Afterwards, amazingly, funds were found and issues where addressed. Sometimes people really don't understand just how different everyday life can be until they or a loved one live with alternative abilities. We just need to take education seriously.
In 1920, when my great-uncle Tom, the son of Irish immigrants in New York City, was college age, he won a Rhodes Scholarship to study at Cambridge University in England. However, he had a been a victim of the polio pandemic ten years earlier and was permanently confined to a wheelchair. He could not go to England to study because there was no way for him to travel on a boat or live at Cambridge - no accessibility of any kind. So he stayed home and went to Columbia University because their family lived very close to that campus. His brother made sure he got everywhere he needed to go and took care of him all his life. I remember as a child in the 1950's hardly ever seeing anyone in a wheelchair!! And when I did, I was afraid for them - fear of the unknown. Things are so much better now and you guys are making it even better. Thank you!
Improved accessibility for flying is important to me also. I am deaf, blind in one eye and use a walker for ambulation. My endurance is not very good so I would need to use a wheelchair in the airport. We use O’Hare airport, which is quite large. Improved accessibility would be very exciting for me as both of our children live on the other side of the country and I would love to see them more. Sorry this is long, but I would also like to encourage you as far as content creation goes. I’m so sorry that you receive negative feedback. I really enjoy your content. Go Shane and Hannah!😊
Repeating what so many others are saying: So so so sorry you have to deal with so many hurtful and harmful comments. It is completely understandable that this situation would be exhausting, emotionally difficult, and make you not want to engage online. Please do what is best for you without guilt. Thank you for all you have taught me about the disability community; I appreciate all the education you have put out in the world. And also you guys are just delightful and fun and funny. God bless you!
My wife and I enjoy your posts. You guys are intelligent, humorous and that makes good content. Haters and trolls are unfortunately everywhere. People like that who focus their energy into negative responses are generally miserable people. Stay positive, it’s contagious.
I love that! I will definitely call my senator for this bill. As you get more popular the more trolls you will have. Whatever you post, we'll watch. I hate that they are so evil to you. Block them with intense glee and joyous abandon! I think your audiences will get larger than you can imagine. And I think that's great.
Definitely noticed.. so thanks for sharing your feelings! Love seeing your everyday happenings whenever you post.. wish the trolls would leave y'all alone😢
I noticed about less posting, HOWEVER people change and you are always so candid. I love the podcast and appreciate all you post! You have to put yourself first. Love you guys
I hope those of us that love you, can reassure you that those people don’t matter..it’s a way of thinking you really have to get with.I know it’s hard. Just remember we love you! 💜
I never looked at things like that. I certainly noticed that y’all don’t post as much, but I just normally think when creators do that it’s because they’ve gotten to a level of subscribers where they’re able to make some money and then just concentrate on whatever platform they’re most passionate about. I swear I never even considered that it’s because people are so hateful! I’m really sorry about that. You guys really have unique & fun content! And those reels are super-d-duper fun & creative!!!😊❤
I have noticed you post less often lately, but assumed you were taking the time you need, and that you have other priorities. Totally legit! You do what works for the two of you! You two are wonderful people, if you do or dont post 🧡
Just imagine how sad their lives must be if the only way that they can feel good about themselves is to criticize your lives and the love and positivity you radiate! ❤
8/15/23- 2130 hrs. You two are beautiful souls. Sometimes I don’t notice the wheel-chair even when you mention it. I really have enjoyed watching the seemingly fluid evolution of your marriage / relationship w/ each other and w/ your followers. Continued blessings 🙏🏻💕
I know its hard to post whenever there are so many horrible people, but I know both of you are extremely passionate about showing all the sides of yalls life and raising awareness. I just hate to see these monsters in some ways winning. Yall bring so much good to the world, so much information, and have made me so much aware of disabilities. In turn, i have been able to teach my little girl so much and i have watched her be more accepting and aware of kids with disabilities. ❤
Aw I only just discovered you! I find you guys to be so awesome! I’m 54! I wish I could have the love you guys have! Maybe they’re jealous, but you’re right, the negative comments def will bring you further down than the positive! I’ve recently discovered that TH-cam is not a nice place, most ppl are good ppl. The ones that aren’t I couldn’t imagine how miserable their life is, my life isn’t glorious, I have problems, physical and financial, but enjoy you guys your love and your topics!
I do miss the first videos but I understand it's harder when u have more viewers and feel like you have to try to walk the line but I will always be a fan ❤ I adore you both for your humor don't lose that!!!!
I love you two no matter what anyone may say. Your love is obviously shown on camera and I would believe off camera also. You make me laugh and have made me more aware of handicapped assessable spaces. I cannot see anyone not being concerned. Not only wheel chair accessibility but crutches and canes. Keep on being your crazy selves. Dump trolls! ❤
I absolutely love and support you both on however you want to post and/or quantity. I've learned so much from your videos so I'm thankful for any and all nuggets of information from you both. Do what's best for you and your mental health
This air travel debacle is eye opening. I'm so glad things are about to change for the better. I am from NY and will contact my senators but I'm sure Schumer and Gillibrand are on board with this.
Hi, Hannah and Shane ~ love you two! I have been enjoying your video chats for years. I know society is upside down but it is hard to understand how so many can be mean spirited, rude and critical of others. I guess the term, "hurt people, hurt people" is true. I believe some are jealous of other people who are truly happy. I can understand why the haters get to you at times and you may think of not putting yourselves out there. Praying for you not to give up and continue to keep your focus on those of us who really love you and we feel like you are our friends. We are your cheerleaders when others say things that make you wonder why you bother. Thank you for being you and making us giggle.😃❤
Plenty of good news for today. I, personally, had put your downswing in content to getting used to the I.V.F. and dealing with having to adjust to moving and not being rediscovered after that. Love you and the rest of the household! It happens, and we understand. Looking forward to what comes down the pipe next. Keep smiling and fighting the good fight.
We have noticed, but there is nothing wrong with it. You need to process what you need to process. Will always be grateful for whatever you do feel like you can post and the laughs and knowledge you share
I cannot imagine that those of us who support you 2 have not noticed your reduced appearance on TH-cam. I, for 1, have missed your posts. I hope you will feel comfortable sharing more in the future.
I understand why such an influx of haters would be emotionally draining. It is totally fine to feel upset, angry, etc. about these people and you shouldn't feel guilty or ashamed of your emotions! I hope that this wave of negativity will die down soon and you will be able to relax. For now it seems like you just have to pull through. We (your loyal supporters) will hopefully be your island of safety for now. Please be kind to yourselves!
You two are precious to me and all of your loyal friends. My advice as a 64 year old grandma who loves everything you share, stop looking at comments and hire someone to manage that for you. Seriously, just do you and don't look at what any else says. They don't matter. They are either jealous or just petty and the don't matter! They aren't clicking the like button or subscribing. They don't buy Shane's books or support your passions. They obviously don't have anyone with accessibility issues in their lives. They Don't MATTER. Silence them with the tools available and keep doing what you've been doing. We are here, cheering you on and supporting what your doing. Love always from Illinois.
From me personally, I have loved your videos, from really early on in your TH-cam journey. Irrespective of your relationship/disability message, I have simply loved to watch your travel and life stories. I follow many other channels where people/ couples are just living life. I love those videos. Please do more again when you are ready x
I have followed you since the early days and still adore all of your content. I had noticed you posting less and miss your videos and silliness but I also understand it is your life and you need to do what is best for you. I miss your videos bur don't want you to feel guilty at all!
I found you guys years ago, after the special books for special kids video. Youre rwo of my favorite TH-camrs. I had noticed a decline in frequency of video posts. I assumed it was due to IVF. I'm sorry for all of the hateful comments you receive. I don't often comment on TH-cam videos or Instagram posts of content creators whom I enjoy. Your video made me stop to think, maybe I should do that more, to do my little part to help drown out the haters.
I think a lot of the negative trolls are just jealous of you Hanna. I love your utubes and feel sorry for the trolls that have no life but to belittle and harass those they don’t even know. Trolls, get a life!
I have noticed that things have changed in the number and type of postings. I miss the videos of trips or just an outing you go on, etc etc. BUT, now that I know the reasons why, I totally understand. Your mental health and safety from mean people comes first. Take care of each other.... Much love from KY
I have been with you guys for years now and I still love you so much, you make my day brighter, you make me laugh and just hearing you both talk about everything is fabulous. I'm so excited to hear that they are making changes on airplanes. I really hope that passes! You can count on me to write my letter to my Senator! I have realized over the year that you guys haven't posted a lot, I get it.... There's Haters everywhere, but please don't let that stop you both for sharing everything with us, if you do... The haters will win , and None of us want that!!!!! I always get so excited to see that you posted a new video or podcast. I am thrilled about your speaking engagements, in Orlando and Wisconsin and more ! I would greatly appreciate meeting you both when you are in Florida next. Shane and Hannah, you both have put a spark in me to fight for change. I will also , soon write out an email to you both from me and explain what I am talking about and thinking about. Shane and Hannah, you both are so brave about what context you share with everyone and I am very happy that you both shared, for one, your IVF journey with us. Please remember, you both are better than every hater out there! I love you guys so darn much and what you stand for plus you guys are Amazing, beautiful, genuine, kindhearted and loving people ! I'm super excited to see what comes next
The second I seen a new video and only 8 comments I about broke my ankle trying to get to my chair to sit and watch this vid as fast as I could!! My hubby thought there was sone emergency and I said well kinda my favorite podcast just uploaded and he said well let’s not break bones to watch it! I laughed & said well at least I’d get some me time to watch it!! He agreed!??? Wth!! He even notices I need some me time and that’s pretty bad cuz he doesn’t notice much 😂
Broken chair should equal broken legs for the handler! I truly feel that channels like yours and Cole/Charisma have improved the awareness of how absolutely horrid our country is with accessibility. We all have fun and laugh with you guys while watching videos, but, your purpose for creating this channel is making an impact. ❤
Shane and Hannah, I have noticed because I follow both you and Cole and Charisma but I thought it was due to speaking engagements or other things that you do off camera. I would love to see more videos. As far as the negative netty's I would block them. It is your channel so you can choose WHO you want to be on it. Since I am in the I.T. field, I know that it takes time to record, edit and post videos. But we would love to have more content and especially the disability world and accessibility. Having had a disabled father (passed away 2 years ago), I am aware of many of the issues, especially the parking lot issues and even restaurant access more in small rural areas. Looking forward to seeing more of Squirmy and Grubbs!!!!!!!
I have noticed the decrease in videos and miss you guys but I 100% understand why and you should not feel guilty for prioritizing your family and your mental health. It is unfortunate that the situation is what it is given how other humans chose to act and treat others, but your response to it is perfectly healthy and reasonable. ❤
Your excitement for "The new pouch" is through the roof over the top overwelmingly exciting! I instaintly got stuck to watch this podcast for sure! Lol it actually did draw me in.
I've mentioned this several times now. Delta Airlines is/has developed a space for wheelchairs in the regular cabin. When no one in a wheelchair is using that space, the seat folds down to be used.
💔 I'm so incredibly sorry that you guys have to go through all that 🥺 Truly 😞 There is no other profession in this world where it acceptable to be exposed to that level of vitriol. Everything you do or say picked apart by the masses who each have their own opinion. It would be absolutely exhausting and wears you down. And not just the intensity of it but the VOLUME of it. I mean, there's nothing else like it in the world. Even the most well-adjusted, self-assured person would crumble under the weight of such things. You both do an INCREDIBLE job continuing to put yourselves out there despite it all. We are so grateful 🙏 And yes, as a long-time follower and supporter, I have indeed noticed your content changing over the years. Particularly once you started doing YT shorts. Because, as you said, that attracted not just a a massive uptake in followers but a different kind of follower. Which impacted you both. Your content has definitely not been as unguarded and natural as it once was. It's also not as frequent and varied as it once was. And that is a shame. Because I (like many others from the OG days) miss it. BUT I also COMPLETELY understand your need to do whatever is necessary to protect yourselves and your mental health. THAT COMES FIRST! Anyone who loves you guys will understand that. We support you no matter what ❤ And it has brought us Junkyard Mayhem which is fantastic 👏🥰So there's always a silver lining to these things 😊 But if you are missing engaging with your more supportive viewer base then perhaps consider putting your more personal content behind a Patreon paywall? It's not ideal as many of your viewers (myself included) struggle with health issues so any extra cost can be difficult. But you give so much back to us, if that is what is required to keep engaging with that more unguarded/varied/personal content then I would do my best to find the money to support you guys in that. That should help weed out the vast majority of the types of people you don't want to be sharing that sort of content with. However you guys chose to proceed, we are here for you. And we understand that the struggle is real. Love & light x
Hopefully those of us who think you two are wonderful will always outnumber the evil trolls. You are loved and always will be.
Amen!!! Well said❤
@@juliebradley1184 Amen, Amen!
❤❤❤❤
I agree
The issue is, none of you can explain WHY you find them so “wonderful”.
Dear Squirmy and Grubs,
I hope you don't give up on those of us who watch your presentations, you are delightful, kind and smart very adult people who have earned our respect. Most of us would love to have you as friends. I offer my sincere apology for all of mean spirited people who can't appreciate your wise and gentle charm. Keep up the great work.
Love,
George
Shame on anyone who judges you for your love of each other. The two of you have every right as anyone else to have children, go on vacations or work on any vocation as you want. I recently came across your page and immediately fell in love with you. You do you!!!❤️❤️
Hannah sounds exactly like someone who has never worked a back breaking wage slave job in her life, and god bless, no one should, but lots of people have no other choice.
Park your privilege at the door and entertain the idea that those that do work those jobs aren't paid for how gently and silken gloved they handle anyones luggage, they're paid to expedite and get shit on and off as quickly as possible, blame the disgusting capitalistic back breaking system you endorse with all your inlaid disingenuous earth killing advertisements that you shill for. That's whats driving a soulesss inconsiderate world. Get a damn grip and open your eyes
i totally with what you are saying shane and Hannaha have every right to do what they want to so to all of you knit pickers go and get a life
You'll believe anything
❤
Be the You God, The Father CREATED YOU TO BE! And We don't have to EXPLAIN Why We Love You, or why it's NOT weird to Us. We Love Them, You Hate...'nuf said.
Whatever you choose to share is a gift. Your self-advocacy is appreciated.
Yes shame on those people who put you down. You are entitled to the same as everyone else. Fingers crossed the IVF works and you can start a family soon. The love you have for each other is visible in everything you do or say. I also had doubters when I married a disabled man who travelled from the UK to Australia after more than 6 years in a long distance relationship. We celebrated 25 years of marriage this last Valentine’s Day. I love watching all your videos and podcasts, keep up the good work ❤
Congratulations on 25 years.
As a disabled person please don’t stop educating us. Clearly we need it. I’m not confident in my disability. I have definitely love your humor. Maybe make videos and limit comments. We need you! 💕💕
Each month put something secret in your bag and make us guess what it is !!
Keep talking nice and slow and clear. I have trouble understanding all these super fast talkers because there are so many noisy cars, planes and vessels.
anytime a sentence starts with, "as a so and so" I immediately stop reading.
I miss Monday Grub Bag. Thats one thing you could bring back. 😊 love you two!
Me too❤
I really enjoy it too.❤
Yes! I miss Monday Grub Bag and their regular vlogs!! ❤
Me too!
Agreed and I think the TH-cam community is really not hateful 🤔 not other like other platforms
I love all your content because it contains you two. I wish you knew how much inspiration and comfort you bring to those of us who truly love you both. I am a 68 year old woman who has my 45 year old disabled daughter living with me. You have helped me tremendously fighting for her rights and keeping her safe from the ugly people.❤❤
Hearing you! I’m 46 and have a 12 year old disabled child. ❤
😅 I'm 64, my daughter is 44. She has a disability too. Her's is not physical but mental. She is very bi polar with a bunch of other things
Friends
I can't even begin to tell you how embarrassed I am to be part of the human race sometimes. Why do these horrible people even follow you if they don't support you and others who gladly share their lives with us so graciously.
I vow to watch everything you post cos I really enjoy your relationship and the laughs we have together at this bonkers world.
Love as always

I'll cheer you on any time you need to recover from nasty comments. And I won't tell you not to feel what you're feeling. I'll just explain how much you mean to me, both of you. ❤❤
I can’t imagine having people give you so much hate. I think your story and message is so important so keep going!
Cause their story is completely fake
I’m sorry you have to deal with mean people. I appreciate your openness and opening up about your life and experiences. I find the both of you very genuine people.❤
You help me understand disability and the level of understanding and acceptance I have for my disabled child.
Love your daily life vlogs and travel vlogs AND I respect if you choose to take time out to protect and heal your mental health from the very unkind world we live in. Don’t give up AND do what works for you x love you guys!
I wish more people would live by the "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all" it's hard to ignore the nasty. You guys rock
It is, indeed, a junkyard out there.
Great episode you guys! Yes, I've noticed you guys posting less, but figured it was because of travel and ivf. ❤️ we are grateful for the videos you give us and we will be happy to watch more when you feel up to making more ❤
Protect your hearts and protect your peace. You don't owe us anything. If you need to take a break or leave social media altogether, it is truly okay. People will just have to adjust.
Your well being is the most important thing. We love and support you no matter what. ❤
I don't know what has become of people these days. You two offer an educational and entertaining program. You two are an inspiration to others. love you!
Thanks!
I have definitely noticed and it’s disappointing but you have to take care of you. As much as we love you, none of us are going to die if you post less. We that are committed will just be that more excited every time we get a notification 🎉. Your mental and physical health matter most. Love you both.
We've absolutely noticed! But with the understanding that you're always working on a million projects, and your podcast is a reliable Wednesday treat.
If they can manufacture wheelchair-accessible vans, then they can certainly retrofit planes for travel as well. As always, it's about money so I imagine there'll be an upcharge for wheelchair space.
But each car accessory is build to fit the particular wheelchair. Flying you are talking about a 2 year old, to 400+ pound electric wheel chairs this issue is not one size fits all. I have a wheelchair bound son so can see from both sides..
Right! Which is so rediculous.
I still don’t know why they can’t institute straps like they do on buses or cars for wheelchairs. Make it make sense!
Trolls will be trolls. Imagine how pathetic their lives are that they feel the need to break others down. Don't stop being you !!!! ❤
Not this this is gonna make you feel better, but I’ve been married 35 yrs, no disability. I watch cause your both inspiring! I have people that also don’t understand my marriage. I just think some people find happiness in poking at others! Just put that middle finger up and live life!❤😂
Thanks for making me less ignorant ❤️🙌🏽
A library near me is making it more accessible for people with wheelchairs. They even made a big post outside about it. My friend said he couldn't believe they are finally doing this. He also said someone could have sued the library.
Please know I appreciate everything you do from your advocacy to relationship to everyday life. Be encouraged and know you are supported by us all nice viewers
Personally, You always make me smile and the struggles with travel in your life are something everyone should be made aware of.
Your IVF story is full of info for people who are struggling with this situation. Thank you for sharing!
Y'all are some of my favorite TH-cam creators ❤❤❤
Oh guys! I’ve only recently discovered you on TH-cam and you guys are literally one of my all time favorites to watch. It’s crazy to think that people hate on you with you’re amazing personalities and way you respect one another. I support your efforts and we all have our flaws.
I noticed that Walmart was carrying adaptive backpacks for wheelchairs this back to school season. I thought that was pretty cool.
That is indeed so cool! 🎉🎉
Haven't seen this at our Walmart yet. Maybe they won't be released in Canada. I will be watching!
@@sarahsaroushka I seen them on the Walmart site. It was available for pickup though, so it had to be in store. I live in Florida. I rarely go in store anymore. Pickup is a lifesaver for me as a working mom.
That’s awesome!
That is absolutely essential!! I never even thought about this!! I just assumed that you were accommodated in that area. I’m so very sorry!!! I feel so stupid!!!
I noticed your videos were primarily your podcast but I definitely didn’t notice a decline in your presence online. You never miss a weekly upload and when I get two videos a week I’m pleasantly surprised! 😊 Love you guys
I’ve just retired and have worked for many A holes. It hurts. But hind site tells me forgiveness is a way to succeed. Self love and not getting your identity from others is key. Wish you the best! 🎉
Don't ever feel guilty about prioritizing your mental health. Your videos are a source of comfort and joy for me. Both of you with your humor and honesty and just the genuine nature of you--it makes me happy to watch your journey. If you guys ever needed to step back more, take a complete break, stop, or whatever it is you figure out to make the jerks and trolls easier to... survive, I'd completely understand and know you're just doing what you need to in order to take care of each other.
Thank you for being awesome all these years and bringing me joy 🥰
You know that you two are loved by your followers. I can’t imagine what you both go through with the haters and others. And I miss you on social media! ❤
Love you guys 💜💜 I can't imagine what it's like with the audience you're gaining - awesome for spreading your message and normalizing your life! But scary at the same time, I know I would be really sensitive to the hatred too. You're doing so much good work though, the internet is lucky to have you.
Glad to hear more programs in addition to this one. We will contact every senator we communicate with. Keep up your great work. Lane
My son
Being a parent a disabled child I totally understand all your frustrations. Unfortunately, some able body people do not have the insight of how a disabled person can be married, parent a child, have a job, drive, the list can go on and on. Everyone in this world have something different or unique about us. Some peoples are more noticeable than others, however it does not make someone unable to do whatever it is that they are trying to achieve. We all have feelings, disabled and able body alike. I pray your IVF journey goes well. You guys' ROCK! It's easy for me to say don't let what people say offend you. What you two are doing is educating others out there. Keep up the awesome work and just be yourselves.
I didn’t even realize you guys were over a million! Congrats! Heck I’ve been watching you guys long before you guys even got married or bought your house way back when you guys had under 100 thousand subs and I don’t pay attention to your sub count so I had no idea you guys have grown so much but I’m happy for you guys and I really enjoy your channel and loved it ling before the whole junkyard mayhem podcast as well, it’s always been fun and I’ve always laughed!! Thank you!!! 35:50
I look forward to your weekly podcast, thanks for making it available here on TH-cam!
I found this channel just 12hrs ago....really I'm in love with her commitment and honesty...she is an Angel sent by god for that man
And...your comment is ableist. Do better.
Wt I saw is her caring and love which every human being expects...wt u saw is his disability...try to look in a manner of appreciating positive aspect...
I actually appreciate that you guys put your mental health first. No reason to feel guilty. Mental health is important, and putting yourselves (and each other) first should be more common among influencers . Take time to rest, we appreciate what ever posts you are able to do:)
It brings sadness to my heart that some people can be so awful to you both. I hope you continue to create the content that is so valuable and means so much to you both. I appreciate hearing from you.
No, don’t ever give up. I love watching you guys. Perhaps we, your audience are getting complacent too in not giving you back as much feedback as we did when we first met you. So when is your next comedy fiction book Shane? Have you thought about doing a fiction book, a disabled hero? A Black Op which has been wheel-chaired? And continues to work.
I’ve been following for several years! Probably close to the start of your channel. I have loved you both for so long. I respect & admire who you both are individually and as a couple! I have for sure noticed the decrease in your post but I’m thankful for the podcast! Never miss it! Your mental health comes first! Thanks for always being so open and honest! 🥰❤️
There ARE plenty of us that LOVE you!!!! ❤❤
You guys are wonderful advocates, funny, loving and clearly made for each other. I've followed you for a long time. It took me until my 50s to realize how meaningless a strangers negativity towards me was. There are so many sad and bitter people out there. Be yourselves and be happy, I hope you live long, interesting lives together!
I hope you guys give yourselves credit for some of these advancements in disability and flying. You guys keep shining a light of this stuff and we know it makes a difference.
I’ve noticed you guys posting less, but attributed it to IVF and travel. Almost every creater I’ve followed for any significant amount of time ends up feeling the pressure and the “hate.” I can’t imagine seeing the kind of comments you guys get every day.
Please please do not feel guilty. You are so generous to let us share your lives, even if it was just a glimpse. You give of not only your time but your privacy, we are lucky to have you. As a disabled person myself I can only appreciate how much you have done for awareness and understanding. I hate the thought that you spend time daily feeling guilty. Pls change that into pride that you have implemented healthy boundaries for your own sakes, whilst still being so giving to us all. Also, at this time in your life I think it’s normal to be more aware especially when bringing children into the equation. It is healthy and admirable. Thanks for everything you do 💜
We're the generous ones.
This is Shane & Hannah's job, and it has made them wealthy. They travel and live a pretty amazing life compared to a lot of America. Just like all of us have to go to work and deal with the daily grind, there are drawbacks to everything. If they want less public scrutiny (which comes with tons of assholes with an opinion) then they could get more conventional jobs. I don't support anyone hating on anyone, don't get me wrong, but let's not pretend they are doing a charity by recording their lives. This is a problem all influencers have. Nothing in life is free and if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Generosity is not only financial. As a disabled person myself I would never want to share my private medical details, that is generous. I would never be able to share a relationship online, that is generous. I would never be brave enough to talk about ableism publicly, that is generous. I am well aware this is their job. That doesn’t mean that I cannot offer admiration and respect for the fact that they do it. The irony of me writing a kind comment from my lived experience as a disabled person and you then saying you don’t advocate for hate, whilst being negative is so ironic. Could have just scrolled on by but you had to put your two cents in when all you talked about was financial aspects. Hannah and Shane are so generous with their time, lives and teaching us about ableism, whether they are paid for it is irrelevant to me. Disagree all you want, but it’s my opinion and that’s not changing 😊
About damn time!!!!! Where I used to work I was on a committee that dealt with how our place handled accessibility. We had trouble trying to get tjose that could make changes understand the issues...until we convinced them to try to navigate in a manual wheelchair. Afterwards, amazingly, funds were found and issues where addressed. Sometimes people really don't understand just how different everyday life can be until they or a loved one live with alternative abilities. We just need to take education seriously.
In 1920, when my great-uncle Tom, the son of Irish immigrants in New York City, was college age, he won a Rhodes Scholarship to study at Cambridge University in England. However, he had a been a victim of the polio pandemic ten years earlier and was permanently confined to a wheelchair. He could not go to England to study because there was no way for him to travel on a boat or live at Cambridge - no accessibility of any kind. So he stayed home and went to Columbia University because their family lived very close to that campus. His brother made sure he got everywhere he needed to go and took care of him all his life. I remember as a child in the 1950's hardly ever seeing anyone in a wheelchair!! And when I did, I was afraid for them - fear of the unknown. Things are so much better now and you guys are making it even better. Thank you!
Improved accessibility for flying is important to me also. I am deaf, blind in one eye and use a walker for ambulation. My endurance is not very good so I would need to use a wheelchair in the airport. We use O’Hare airport, which is quite large. Improved accessibility would be very exciting for me as both of our children live on the other side of the country and I would love to see them more.
Sorry this is long, but I would also like to encourage you as far as content creation goes. I’m so sorry that you receive negative feedback. I really enjoy your content. Go Shane and Hannah!😊
Repeating what so many others are saying: So so so sorry you have to deal with so many hurtful and harmful comments. It is completely understandable that this situation would be exhausting, emotionally difficult, and make you not want to engage online. Please do what is best for you without guilt. Thank you for all you have taught me about the disability community; I appreciate all the education you have put out in the world. And also you guys are just delightful and fun and funny. God bless you!
My wife and I enjoy your posts. You guys are intelligent, humorous and that makes good content. Haters and trolls are unfortunately everywhere. People like that who focus their energy into negative responses are generally miserable people. Stay positive, it’s contagious.
I feel closer to this channel than ever with the rising podcast videos! I love listening
I love that! I will definitely call my senator for this bill. As you get more popular the more trolls you will have. Whatever you post, we'll watch. I hate that they are so evil to you. Block them with intense glee and joyous abandon! I think your audiences will get larger than you can imagine. And I think that's great.
Definitely noticed.. so thanks for sharing your feelings! Love seeing your everyday happenings whenever you post.. wish the trolls would leave y'all alone😢
I noticed about less posting, HOWEVER people change and you are always so candid. I love the podcast and appreciate all you post! You have to put yourself first. Love you guys
I hope those of us that love you, can reassure you that those people don’t matter..it’s a way of thinking you really have to get with.I know it’s hard. Just remember we love you! 💜
I never looked at things like that. I certainly noticed that y’all don’t post as much, but I just normally think when creators do that it’s because they’ve gotten to a level of subscribers where they’re able to make some money and then just concentrate on whatever platform they’re most passionate about.
I swear I never even considered that it’s because people are so hateful! I’m really sorry about that. You guys really have unique & fun content! And those reels are super-d-duper fun & creative!!!😊❤
Block the abusers
I love the wheelchair bottle opener XD
Yeah I definitely miss your usual vlogs, it sucks that the viral videos led to so much negative comments…
I have noticed you post less often lately, but assumed you were taking the time you need, and that you have other priorities. Totally legit! You do what works for the two of you! You two are wonderful people, if you do or dont post 🧡
People are just mean bullies. I love you two. You are truly an example of true love. Maybe they are jealous.
Just imagine how sad their lives must be if the only way that they can feel good about themselves is to criticize your lives and the love and positivity you radiate! ❤
8/15/23- 2130 hrs. You two are beautiful souls. Sometimes I don’t notice the wheel-chair even when you mention it. I really have enjoyed watching the seemingly fluid evolution of your marriage / relationship w/ each other and w/ your followers. Continued blessings 🙏🏻💕
I know its hard to post whenever there are so many horrible people, but I know both of you are extremely passionate about showing all the sides of yalls life and raising awareness. I just hate to see these monsters in some ways winning. Yall bring so much good to the world, so much information, and have made me so much aware of disabilities. In turn, i have been able to teach my little girl so much and i have watched her be more accepting and aware of kids with disabilities. ❤
I haven't been watching you for long but I love watching your videos. I have to go back and watch more so I'm more familiar with you.😊
Aw I only just discovered you! I find you guys to be so awesome! I’m 54! I wish I could have the love you guys have! Maybe they’re jealous, but you’re right, the negative comments def will bring you further down than the positive! I’ve recently discovered that TH-cam is not a nice place, most ppl are good ppl. The ones that aren’t I couldn’t imagine how miserable their life is, my life isn’t glorious, I have problems, physical and financial, but enjoy you guys your love and your topics!
I do miss the first videos but I understand it's harder when u have more viewers and feel like you have to try to walk the line but I will always be a fan ❤ I adore you both for your humor don't lose that!!!!
I love you two no matter what anyone may say. Your love is obviously shown on camera and I would believe off camera also. You make me laugh and have made me more aware of handicapped assessable spaces. I cannot see anyone not being concerned. Not only wheel chair accessibility but crutches and canes. Keep on being your crazy selves. Dump trolls! ❤
I absolutely love and support you both on however you want to post and/or quantity. I've learned so much from your videos so I'm thankful for any and all nuggets of information from you both. Do what's best for you and your mental health
Making 🐫 day a little better!
This air travel debacle is eye opening. I'm so glad things are about to change for the better. I am from NY and will contact my senators but I'm sure Schumer and Gillibrand are on board with this.
Hi, Hannah and Shane ~ love you two! I have been enjoying your video chats for years. I know society is upside down but it is hard to understand how so many can be mean spirited, rude and critical of others. I guess the term, "hurt people, hurt people" is true. I believe some are jealous of other people who are truly happy. I can understand why the haters get to you at times and you may think of not putting yourselves out there. Praying for you not to give up and continue to keep your focus on those of us who really love you and we feel like you are our friends. We are your cheerleaders when others say things that make you wonder why you bother. Thank you for being you and making us giggle.😃❤
Glad to hear about funds being set aside to help keep wheelchairs in the cabin of airplanes. Big victory and first step!
I DO miss Monday Grabbag. I look online everyday for new posts. You guys are my absolute favorites!
Plenty of good news for today. I, personally, had put your downswing in content to getting used to the I.V.F. and dealing with having to adjust to moving and not being rediscovered after that. Love you and the rest of the household! It happens, and we understand. Looking forward to what comes down the pipe next. Keep smiling and fighting the good fight.
We have noticed, but there is nothing wrong with it. You need to process what you need to process. Will always be grateful for whatever you do feel like you can post and the laughs and knowledge you share
I cannot imagine that those of us who support you 2 have not noticed your reduced appearance on TH-cam. I, for 1, have missed your posts. I hope you will feel comfortable sharing more in the future.
I'm so happy to hear the development regarding the FAA. I flew somewhere in June and on my way home someone badly broke my wheelchair.
Sometimes life gets busy. The important thing is that your happy and healthy!❤
Love you both….enjoy you sharing your lives……
I understand why such an influx of haters would be emotionally draining. It is totally fine to feel upset, angry, etc. about these people and you shouldn't feel guilty or ashamed of your emotions! I hope that this wave of negativity will die down soon and you will be able to relax. For now it seems like you just have to pull through. We (your loyal supporters) will hopefully be your island of safety for now. Please be kind to yourselves!
Great start for better travel for people with disabilities and their wheelchairs.
You two are precious to me and all of your loyal friends. My advice as a 64 year old grandma who loves everything you share, stop looking at comments and hire someone to manage that for you. Seriously, just do you and don't look at what any else says. They don't matter. They are either jealous or just petty and the don't matter! They aren't clicking the like button or subscribing. They don't buy Shane's books or support your passions. They obviously don't have anyone with accessibility issues in their lives. They Don't MATTER. Silence them with the tools available and keep doing what you've been doing. We are here, cheering you on and supporting what your doing. Love always from Illinois.
From me personally, I have loved your videos, from really early on in your TH-cam journey. Irrespective of your relationship/disability message, I have simply loved to watch your travel and life stories. I follow many other channels where people/ couples are just living life.
I love those videos. Please do more again when you are ready x
I noticed that you were not posting as much and I missed your posts ! Your posts make my day ! ❤️
I'm glad you're protective of your mental health, content creation is a truly frightening job to have!
I have followed you since the early days and still adore all of your content. I had noticed you posting less and miss your videos and silliness but I also understand it is your life and you need to do what is best for you. I miss your videos bur don't want you to feel guilty at all!
I found you guys years ago, after the special books for special kids video. Youre rwo of my favorite TH-camrs. I had noticed a decline in frequency of video posts. I assumed it was due to IVF. I'm sorry for all of the hateful comments you receive. I don't often comment on TH-cam videos or Instagram posts of content creators whom I enjoy. Your video made me stop to think, maybe I should do that more, to do my little part to help drown out the haters.
I think a lot of the negative trolls are just jealous of you Hanna. I love your utubes and feel sorry for the trolls that have no life but to belittle and harass those they don’t even know. Trolls, get a life!
I have noticed that things have changed in the number and type of postings. I miss the videos of trips or just an outing you go on, etc etc. BUT, now that I know the reasons why, I totally understand. Your mental health and safety from mean people comes first. Take care of each other....
Much love from KY
I have been with you guys for years now and I still love you so much, you make my day brighter, you make me laugh and just hearing you both talk about everything is fabulous. I'm so excited to hear that they are making changes on airplanes. I really hope that passes! You can count on me to write my letter to my Senator! I have realized over the year that you guys haven't posted a lot, I get it.... There's Haters everywhere, but please don't let that stop you both for sharing everything with us, if you do... The haters will win , and None of us want that!!!!! I always get so excited to see that you posted a new video or podcast. I am thrilled about your speaking engagements, in Orlando and Wisconsin and more ! I would greatly appreciate meeting you both when you are in Florida next. Shane and Hannah, you both have put a spark in me to fight for change. I will also , soon write out an email to you both from me and explain what I am talking about and thinking about. Shane and Hannah, you both are so brave about what context you share with everyone and I am very happy that you both shared, for one, your IVF journey with us. Please remember, you both are better than every hater out there! I love you guys so darn much and what you stand for plus you guys are Amazing, beautiful, genuine, kindhearted and loving people ! I'm super excited to see what comes next
The second I seen a new video and only 8 comments I about broke my ankle trying to get to my chair to sit and watch this vid as fast as I could!! My hubby thought there was sone emergency and I said well kinda my favorite podcast just uploaded and he said well let’s not break bones to watch it! I laughed & said well at least I’d get some me time to watch it!! He agreed!??? Wth!! He even notices I need some me time and that’s pretty bad cuz he doesn’t notice much 😂
Broken chair should equal broken legs for the handler!
I truly feel that channels like yours and Cole/Charisma have improved the awareness of how absolutely horrid our country is with accessibility. We all have fun and laugh with you guys while watching videos, but, your purpose for creating this channel is making an impact. ❤
Omg I had no idea that you couldn't just roll your chair onto a plane. That's absolutely ridiculous. Love you guys ❤️
That’s why in some video Shane wanted to innovate around a fleet of airplanes just for persons using airplanes!!! 😅
Shane and Hannah, I have noticed because I follow both you and Cole and Charisma but I thought it was due to speaking engagements or other things that you do off camera. I would love to see more videos. As far as the negative netty's I would block them. It is your channel so you can choose WHO you want to be on it. Since I am in the I.T. field, I know that it takes time to record, edit and post videos. But we would love to have more content and especially the disability world and accessibility. Having had a disabled father (passed away 2 years ago), I am aware of many of the issues, especially the parking lot issues and even restaurant access more in small rural areas. Looking forward to seeing more of Squirmy and Grubbs!!!!!!!
Sorry you face any criticism. I get such joy from your videos. You guys are so delightful.
I have noticed the decrease in videos and miss you guys but I 100% understand why and you should not feel guilty for prioritizing your family and your mental health. It is unfortunate that the situation is what it is given how other humans chose to act and treat others, but your response to it is perfectly healthy and reasonable. ❤
Your excitement for "The new pouch" is through the roof over the top overwelmingly exciting! I instaintly got stuck to watch this podcast for sure! Lol it actually did draw me in.
I've mentioned this several times now. Delta Airlines is/has developed a space for wheelchairs in the regular cabin. When no one in a wheelchair is using that space, the seat folds down to be used.
💔 I'm so incredibly sorry that you guys have to go through all that 🥺 Truly 😞 There is no other profession in this world where it acceptable to be exposed to that level of vitriol. Everything you do or say picked apart by the masses who each have their own opinion. It would be absolutely exhausting and wears you down. And not just the intensity of it but the VOLUME of it. I mean, there's nothing else like it in the world. Even the most well-adjusted, self-assured person would crumble under the weight of such things. You both do an INCREDIBLE job continuing to put yourselves out there despite it all. We are so grateful 🙏 And yes, as a long-time follower and supporter, I have indeed noticed your content changing over the years. Particularly once you started doing YT shorts. Because, as you said, that attracted not just a a massive uptake in followers but a different kind of follower. Which impacted you both. Your content has definitely not been as unguarded and natural as it once was. It's also not as frequent and varied as it once was. And that is a shame. Because I (like many others from the OG days) miss it. BUT I also COMPLETELY understand your need to do whatever is necessary to protect yourselves and your mental health. THAT COMES FIRST! Anyone who loves you guys will understand that. We support you no matter what ❤ And it has brought us Junkyard Mayhem which is fantastic 👏🥰So there's always a silver lining to these things 😊 But if you are missing engaging with your more supportive viewer base then perhaps consider putting your more personal content behind a Patreon paywall? It's not ideal as many of your viewers (myself included) struggle with health issues so any extra cost can be difficult. But you give so much back to us, if that is what is required to keep engaging with that more unguarded/varied/personal content then I would do my best to find the money to support you guys in that. That should help weed out the vast majority of the types of people you don't want to be sharing that sort of content with. However you guys chose to proceed, we are here for you. And we understand that the struggle is real. Love & light x
