Okay, this is probably going to be veeerrrryyyy long, sorry but I have to get something off my chest. There are a few things I've been discussing with others recently and everyone agreed that I could share it with you here. No one has to agree with me/us.
Katelyn and Malia- We personally don't like them BUT we don't spread hate or comment on their pictures, we don't follow them or anything else. If Sam and Colby are happy, they are happy and that is the only thing that matters to us! I can't take all this drama anymore, really. One of the things we say is that you don't have to like the girls and you can still support SnC. JUST DON'T SPREAD HATE!! There's too much of it in the fandom.
Stas and Kat- Yes, many, probably 90% of the fandom miss them BUT Sam and Colby have moved on in life and the fandom has to do the same. We will never see Stas and Kat in a SnC video again. Nevertheless, you can still support Stas and Kat. We will never see Sam and Kat again, that's the reality, just like we will never see Stas and Colby together again.
The Collabs- Yes, of course, some people like the collabs, some don't. We personally like the collabs but we still wish that SnC would do something alone in a video again without the collabs. It is also sometimes questionable who they are filming a video with. SnC should find out more about that, but that doesn't really matter now. The fact is, if SnC only did something on their own, the fans would (maybe) get bored after a while and then the questions about this or that person who should be in the video come more and more frequently.
Social Media- I have read a lot that fans think (not all of them, of course) that Sam and Colby are too rarely active on platforms like Twitter, Instagram and many more. But have most people perhaps already thought about the fact that the two are 27 and their lives do not just consist of sitting on their cell phones? There is still a private life that the two of them lead, which clearly means that you don't have to share your life completely just because you are a public figure. Sam and Colby are not obligated to share their whole lives with us and i mean everything with that.
Merch- I can't say much about it, except that it's too expensive and unfortunately some fans just can't afford it. Some people want the old merch back, maybe Sam and Colby will consider bringing the old merch back in for a while.
Sam and Colby ignore their fans- NO, DAMN IT. These two are totally busy bringing us content this year!! They travel here and there, stay up all night shooting their videos, editing, cutting and everything. They even got help to make things move faster, what more could fans want? Yes, it may be that Sam and Colby don't like many merch pics at the moment, but there is probably an explanation for that. After all, they don't have to sit on their phones all day and like every merch picture they see. The two of them commented on a few topics, obviously not all of them but those that were in focus. That's enough. Sam and Colby have done enough for us since they started YouTube. Let them enjoy their space and their lives.
Colby's relationship- *sighs* I actually didn't want to say anything about it, but okay. He is happy, he is satisfied and that is good. He's in a relationship again after a long time, and the fact that he's liking more edits or pictures of her at the moment is completely normal in my eyes. He's just in love, for goodness sake. If someone doesn't like Malia, then they should just keep it to themselves and not constantly spread hate, which is exactly why Colby never wanted to make a relationship public. These "expose" pages are getting on my nerves. Get a life and let Colby be happy, thanks:) Whether it will end or not, as long as Colby is happy, there is no telling. AND even if it does end with Malia at some point, don't jump on him and say "we knew it." Don't. Fucking. Do. It.
Sam's relationship- *sigh again* I can't say much about it because I personally don't know what to think about Katelyn and Sam or us. Yes, Sam moved on from Kat after a very long relationship but that's just the way it is with some people. If he's happy with Katelyn now, then so be it, let him be happy too. Sure, we miss Sam and Kat, but the reality is that they are separated and Kat will have a new boyfriend at some point. To make a long story short: LET SAM AND COLBY BE HAPPY OR MAKE MISTAKES, THEY ARE NORMAL PEOPLE LIKE ALL OF US!!
Shea- I'll keep it brief. We don't know what happened between her and Colby. We don't know if she's telling the truth or not. But we will never see Shea in a Colby video again and some people just have to deal with it.
The Fandom- Oh, if I told everyone, I'd probably be followed.😂 It's toxic, most people have two faces and would do anything to get attention from Sam and Colby. I know so many people who edit Malia just to get likes from Colby and I could make it public but I don't, because i'm not that type of person. Right now, everyone is just jumping at each other's throats because half of them like Malia and Katelyn and the other half doesn't. The fandom is falling apart more and more (in my/our eyes) I have never experienced so much toxic stuff as in this fandom and it is terrifying! Especially on Twitter, for God's sake. OF COURSE not everyone in the fandom is toxic, I have met a lot of lovely people and I am grateful for that.
There is so much more but my fingers hurt and I think that's enough to start with.😂 Like i said, no one has to agree with me/us, it's just our opinion how we see the things. Have a good day.🩷
I have nothing to add - thank you for summing it all up, anon(s).
