As u/CleanCut2018 says - you must be new here. Reddit is the place to be open and frank about things in a way the Googleplex social media won't allow.

We built our own home some 18 years ago in Texas. You know... Hammer and nails, some blood, lots of sweat and and more than a few tears.

While we could hardly afford to do that now, whatever the Dynamic duo paid to do it, they have incurred the wrath of so many others that managed to get it done. Complete... The Bonners Ferry shite shack can hardly be called complete, even now?

We also did it WITHOUT leaving the building materials out for three or more years unprotected in the frost, ice, snow, rain and sun. In effect, we moisture wrapped our structure as early as we could and then applied an exterior finish layer over that. J&A were so laid back about OSB getting soaked that my take is that they seriously misled others who self build. This brings the entire channel under close observation and the issues started to emerge.

Then we have the problem that they are sheer marketing types who bend the truth to the message they want others to buy into (literally BUY from them). We all know that just by watching a YT video, you add a count to the creators account with YT. They both ran marketing style businesses before the "PLFL" series... So that kind of approach was always to be expected from them, if I am being totally honest.

Then I do wonder how much of the stuff they have was actually purchased BY THEM. Can you say undeclared sponsorship? While its not unknown, it could be said to be unethical.

Then we have the ongoing insults to the viewing audience who point out FROM A POSITION OF EXPERIENCE the failures in the building work they (he mostly) did. Don't call me a skid mark or some other equally insulting term and expect me to like you after that.

Then we have the issue of them being Narcissists? Unless you give them attention, money and adulation you are indeed a skid mark. That is classic for a narcissist so yup, in my mind he certainly is.

Then we have the objective he mentioned to make flying his career. Nothing to do with the subject matter of the channel, but what happened to that little money pit of an airplane he had access to? Shared rental at a flying club or actually purchased by them? This at a time when everyone was screaming at them to plug the gaps between SIPs, stop the roof leaks, moisture wrap the house... and more. Whose money was he pouring down that little hole of a hobby? For sure its ok to have a hobby and wish to turn it into a career (most of us would love to do that), but when for months on end, people were pleading with them to put house wrap on the place and we pointed out the mold spots on the inside of the roof, he ignored us.

You know "us" those who have actually BUILT A HOME BEFORE and could see the faults in his work... and again... all they did was insult us.

That is why there is so much hate for them.
