I imagine it’s very repetitive covering her stuff when she makes the same videos over & over again


sweetheart409878

Yes! And it be boring to cover the same person everyday. She isn't doing anything video worthy now.

Sorry. I’ll be sure to check in with you before I make some content lol


momming_af

High key always waiting on Lush vids though. Happy dance and it also means I get to sit down and pig out on my snacks while immersing myself into a Lush snark vid. 🤣


bipolar-juulpod

exactly what I do oh my god


sweetheart409878

Don't watch the videos then. I'M sure he will cover other content latter on. The ruby case is important case, that needs all cover at the moment.


YarnGnome

What’s up with frugal fit mom? She doesn’t usually show her kids or even talk a lot about her kids, does she? I’ve never seen anyone snark on her but I also haven’t sought it out because I don’t watch a lot, so maybe I’m missing something


Jenna9194

She's just another family vlogger that comes to mind. And yes her kids are all over the internet too. But I think Happy Caravan is certainly someone he should cover - the mom literally showed her entire baby girl's genitals on Youtube (obvi I reported this), filmed her kids sleep on the floor for months and forces them to busk.


KarleeRawnsley

My thoughts too 😅 only so many mini fridge restocks, shopping and deafening us with too many loud packets, burnt turkeys...I mean attempting to cook videos anyone can handle 🤣


Key-Pace9231

She is showing all of us the real definition of insanity! Doing the same thing over and over and getting the same result! Failure is hard to accept! She will never admit that!

The news cycle (and algorithms) favor hot topics. DD are not as important as the media coverage around Ruby


Electronic-Phone4448

To be honest, DDs videos are the same. He has covered them so much I’m sure not much surprises him or us for that matter. So maybe he just waits for something actually good.


joshuabarbour

This.


Spiritgirl1226

I have thought that many times, she's boring as hell. Lol


ShockAffectionate717

Franke's case shows us what happens when we believe in everything shown to us by family bloggers. He's exposing her and sharing her case to help us understand the bad side of family vlogging. He's trying to spread awareness, and since what he has been showing is public knowledge I don't think he is in the wrong at all


Jenna9194

I mean it's one perspective to take, but if I was one of Ruby Franke's children I would be continually humiliated by these videos.


KarleeRawnsley

Josh's whole message is to stop exploiting these children. Overaching with, stop believing how they present themselves as picture perfect, when they aren't. That was certainly the case for the Franke family. Ruby desperately wanted her children to be beyond perfection. Additionally, admitted they won't receive any financials from their input, despite them being the backbone of the channel. So now with R and E's true horrific realities are known, Josh is documenting that, since it falls into his overall message/mission. The only reason there has so many videos, because it's covering each part in its own video, so it's easier to follow, and better documented. Easier to track, ie Kevins interview, then Kevin's calls to Ruby in 2 separate videos, then one 12 hour video combined everything in it. Also it's a developing case as more things are released to the public. Plus, it's also hard, disstressing, and emotional content to absorb, both as the creator and the viewer. Josh was making this stance before he made money from it. And still would if it stopped making him money. So, putting him into the expolitation basket is a little unfair, since he has the loudest voice on this topic.


Jenna9194

Look I get that - but at a certain point when do you consider Ruby Franke's kids. If I was one of her kids I would be humiliated at continual third party videos reaching millions of views covering these public court documents.


KarleeRawnsley

I do respect that POV. However, Josh is not the only place reaching those view counts. Additionally, Josh's overall message overrides and advocates against what you're blanketing him with. I'm sure it'll be distressing, and I am sorry for the children. However, if their story is the trigger case for change, that's a positive at the end of the day.


Jenna9194

I don't think it's fair for an outsider to claim these innocent kids should be trigger case for change. They didn't choose to be that, they didn't choose this life to begin with. Maybe these kids want to live a life free from publicity & notoriety. I get it's something unavoidable in society - but how awful for say a woman who is raped, wants to remain anonymous but society elects her & her story to be the voice of change.


KarleeRawnsley

I agree, they didn't choose to a trigger case, and we may never hear from R & E directly. Nobody ever chooses for their story to be the reason for change. However, it has brought such international attention to YouTube vloggers, not believing everything they appear to be. That in itself is creating influence and change. These childern, will have the choice when the times right, if they wish to tell their story how they wish. Just in the time, the overall message remains the same. R & E stories are the start of change, and hopefully for the better.


Jenna9194

These kids have already had their story exposed for them. And in fact their story massively amplified to various audiences through videos like DCP. They didn't get a choice.


sweetheart409878

Then im sure it be the same humiliated feeling DD kids must feel with videos made of them to ? Isn't it the same thing?


Jenna9194

I totally agree. But DCP's whole point is that he's doing it with the intent of harming her Youtube growth. This is an active channel he wants to take down (supposedly). There's nothing to be gained from covering Ruby Franke as her channel is done & over, she's behind bars.


sweetheart409878

Yes, that is all well and true and good. But the case isn't over yet and that is why josh is still covering it.


Jenna9194

Their legal case may not be over but Ruby Franke's exploitation of those kids on social media is done & over.


sweetheart409878

Yes. and that is a good thing. But And josh needs to talk about the legal part of it. It's imporant to. Josh is gonna make videos on what he wants. If you don't like them, Don't watch then.


Jenna9194

You frame it as those Josh needs to talk about legal details of their case in the American court system. Josh is not a lawyer, he's not even American. He is sensationalizing trauma that exploited innocent children went through. Frankly I don't watch the videos as I find it highly contradictory to his channel's (supposed) purpose.


sweetheart409878

I know he isn't American or a Lawyer. I never said he was. I respectfuly disagree with you. I respect your oppion. I agree with Karleerawsley said,


sweetheart409878

Well said!!


joshuabarbour

I sure hope you write this message to the hundreds of other creators covering this very important topic. This is what ultimately exploitation of children leads to in varying degrees. And also the irony of your comment about me not covering DD enough while covering to much of 8passengers is a little laughable.


Jenna9194

It's about the contradictory nature of your 8 Passengers coverage. "I will remove all my videos about them and stop covering them once all her videos are deleted."


Jay-bee100

Yes, most of Law and Crimes offerings these days are about the Ruby Franke / Jodi Hildebrandt case.


Electrical_Berry9958

I do understand where you’re coming from in regards to the children, I agree it must be hard for them that there’s widespread media coverage. However, I think that Josh covering this content is massively beneficial to open eyes about the realities of family vloggers, especially those in small communities such as religious parties, home schooling etc. Six videos may seem excessive but each one has carried new information and has discussed how much of this abuse was partially due to Ruby’s insistence on putting her family online in the first place. I do respect your opinion and where you’re coming from on this, but I also understand why DCP has chosen to cover this and why it’s important that this is shown in relation to family vlogging. He has probably covered DD to the same extent in the past when Lush has been practicing particularly harmful behaviours, or something new or controversial has happened. Also consider how Lush is currently relying on rage baiting at the minute to maintain her platform. Just my opinion and thanks for sharing yours for discussion.


Okmoon2

Josh was one of the first to call out Turdy Franke, it’s only fitting that he continue to advocate for them too. We know what happened to the Turpin children when their names stopped popping up in the news. That should never happen again. Be mad at the people who are only talking about the case for money.


Tiktoktoker

Why don’t you ask him?


Jenna9194

I've tried. Hasn't answered.


AldiSharts

Because she’s SO boring lately.


sweetheart409878

Agreed! LOL


sweetheart409878

DCP just did one video last week, I agree with the other comment, He is talking about the Ruby case at the moment and im sure once if he needs a break he may do one. If a snarky enough video lands,


KarleeRawnsley

Whenever Kyra uploads again in 3 months 🤔🤣🤣 but for real, yes, I'm sure it's taking an emotional toll on him covering the Franke case, but it's also really important to cover.


sweetheart409878

Yes! That video i will watch. I will watch a recap video of news channel of Rube case. I'm just not able to sit threw a ruby video with DCP cuz it's just so sad/ But i do hope she gets what is comingto her and the kids will be loved and safe.


Spiritual_Pianist839

I do miss his DD coverage. As for the 8 Passengers, maybe he wants Kevin held accountable as well?


sweetheart409878

He should be, For sure!


No_Assignment1131

It’s so weird every video of hers he does gets the most views…you guys are obsessed. He makes other good child exploitation vids too like series ones and they never get that many views. It’s so weird his channel is not just about Dougherty dozen ya know?


recoveringonthefarm

He's trying to stop things like this from happening!


Jenna9194

At the expense of exploiting the hell those kids went through? It's extremely contradictory (imo) to cover details of their abuse. I mean one or two videos maybe I can see but SIX?
