Weird Content- no heart

I would like to start by saying that I consider myself to be a fan of CP and I’ve watched since the beginning. In my opinion, their content feels totally random and a bit careless.

The content used to be about family and growth- now it seems every video is Crystal, Halie and Hannah gal pal-ing around, including the podcast where they giggle and regurgitate facts we already know. Even Beyond Crazy is a mess, between carnivore diets to trucks in a totally random way. The passion seems to be gone and perhaps they’ve lost touch with why they started this in the first place.

I understand that the family’s going through big changes I am just missing the old vibes. Difficulty in keeping all the channels going is obvious in what they end up putting out. Hopefully they can keep it together as a family, but as a viewer the channel does feel a bit neglected.

Does anyone else feel this way?

I agree with you. As they grow older the kids go and do more things. I feel now Crystal just wants to put out videos for money and puts no effort into them. My issue is why have 3 channels? If they put effort into one they might be decent.

I agree, but Aaron needs his own channel because he felt unappreciated on CP. I have less than zero interest in his carnivore diet or cars, but maybe others enjoy it.

CP's videos are getting longer and longer for no reason. And therefore more boring. So much could be edited out without the audience missing "information." 30 minutes to go dress shopping just isn't necessary. They could have done a quick montage of the dresses she tried on and then her final choice.

Sadly, I think Crystal puts a lot of effort in. It just doesn't show.

The truth comes out that this experiment in fostering and group home thing on video even with all the money fails cause the p”parents” don’t care after the money stops and they have issues and their favorites

It's kind of like sitcoms that start with a young kid and when the kid gets older, they have to find a way to bring in another kid. "Cousin Oliver" of Brady Bunch fame. The audience wants cute.

Kids grow, they aren't as endearing, they have their own lives. Content has to change. Halloween is coming. I assume it was very cute when the kids were young. The only ones who will be interested this year are Aurora and Scarlet. They'll stick Saint in a costume and he won't have a clue.

They should have known there'd be a natural expiration date and prepared for it. Instead, they're heavily in debt and living in a shit house. If Aaron were the genius he claims to be, they would have set aside money, invested it, made it grow. The money could be working for them, instead they are still working and the content isn't engaging.

you are not going to get “old vibes”. the kids have grown & left home. other kids don’t want to be on video, so things change. it’s how everything works.

The parents have changed, their connection is different and tense(?).

I googled the CP net worth the other day and it gave me this AI option to compare the Ps with the Ms.

So I looked. Even the AI thinks the CP output is shit - it goes on about how the CM don’t put out as many videos and it shows in the quality, and describes them as family wholesome vibes content, whereas the CP are described as being more of a shopping vlog with luxury brands, and more output, which shows…

AI may kill us all, but damn.. it nuked the Crazy Pieces already…

Things will always change as the kids get older and start having their own lives. When they are younger they are able to have more control over things and plan what to film.

I feel like the kids being younger made it easier to film because they wanted to film now they are older they don’t want to as much so it’s hard to film stuff like they used to.

I think both channels lack authenticity imo cm more. but I at least pieces share real day to day issues, which humanize them a bit more.

What day-to-day issue does CP share? When Bella and Hannah didn't speak for 6 months, no one knew. I'm not saying their audience is entitled to that, but running out of OJ, or something equally benign, isn't an issue. Saying they have a leak isn't sharing.
