Hating on Haters

I may not care enough to say anything later, but I just watched the newest Shaytards, and thought I'd comment.

It's such a shame that we can go from such a great vlog yesterday back to one which just irks me. I mean, the part with Babytard and Mommytard gardening was really nice. Like I said before, she seems to be more talkative when the other kids aren't around, so it's fun to see more of her personality.

Well, then Shay happened. They were riding in his new truck, and he had Rocktard in his baby seat in the front. He knew he shouldn't have Rocktard there, he even pointed out the airbag being right in front of him, but then he tried to justify it by saying that plastic thing on the baby seat maybe made it okay. But what irked me is when immediately after that he started mocking "haters" and pretending to quote legal codes about babies in cars, and saying he'd have to put Rocktard in the back before somebody started nagging on him in the comments about laws and safety. And then what made it worse is him digging deeper and saying it's people who don't have any kids trying to tell him how to raise his, or people who have just babysat, etc. When Shay acts like a jerk, it's just a total turn-off. Anything fun that may have happened prior is spoiled by that kind of attitude. The irony is that I bet there are a lot of babysitters who have a lot of knowledge that Shay could take advantage of. Like, you know, not haphazardly throwing developing children around. But in this case, the fact remains, he knew Rocktard shouldn't be in the front, but he decided to be a douche to redirect blame.

Then Shay goes on about how he was saving up for that truck for a year, blah blah. Whatever, we all know he makes enough on his Youtube partnership for the Shaytards channel alone to pay for that truck in less than a month. No exageration. Dave's Farm, which wasn't near as popular as Shaytards, was making $15-20k+ a month in its prime, maybe more. Not to mention, it's not hard to find the tax records for the new house they moved into, so I know how much it's worth (and fully paid for at that, since they're debt-free). So let's not pretend like the audience is stupid here.

But then what irked me more is him taking another dig at haters again later. I can't even remember what it was over now, but by that point I think I just sighed and realized why I've seriously considered stopping watching the vlog. Shay is really not the same person he used to be. Or maybe he is, and now that he has money and fame he doesn't care to show that side of himself more. He could lose a thousand viewers and it wouldn't hurt him much financially.

The final irk-factor was hearing him listening to more of that conservative radio garbage, where they were quoting lyrics from that rap song of the guy who was invited to the White House. All of conservative radio and TV pundits (Fox News) like to play just enough of it to make it sound like the guy was promoting cop killing, instead of actually telling the song lyrics in context. It's all such bullshit, and hearing people listen to sources which promote that kind of trash news really affects what I think of them.

Anyway, so yeah. Like I said, I won't care about any of this later. But it bugged me enough at the moment to say my thing about it. I guess that makes me a hater, eh? If you're not with'em, you're against'em, etc. Better not try to offer him any advice!
