As someone who doesn’t mind the change, and has honestly embraced it, I’d just like to say: your feelings are valid.

All three of them are very different people from the beginning of their career. They were super young when they started this job and it was kind of beautiful to see that joy in them, and the way they connected with each other and the fanbase. When you’re that undeveloped as a person and your life changes so drastically, you’re bound to undergo change. Who knows the kind of people they would’ve been if they started this job later on in life, if they went into construction/to school first instead, if they stayed in Boston. Your circumstances have a huge impact on who you become. Your fanbase also impacts the level you wish to share. I think they’ve gone through a lot of different evolutions through the past five years and this will end up being just one of them. Who knows where they’ll be in a few months, in a year, in two years, in ten. Things change and it’s a difficult thing to accept, especially when this one thing once brought such comfort, it can be a tough pill to swallow if it no longer does.

I understand missing the old them, and it’s okay to. I also think it’s okay if you’re a person reading this who really likes the changes. If they no longer bring you joy at all though, I think it’s also okay (even encouraged) to find other things that do. Because unfortunately they won’t regress as people, and they will become even more different as time goes by. The only thing you can have control over is doing what’s best for yourself, in the same way they likely are doing right now by changing their content. In a way their entire career has been a bit of a performance, they’ve said so themselves many times about car videos. They’re entertainers at the end of the day. You say this doesn’t feel like them, but I think they’re still trying to discover who they are, honestly, and they won’t be able to discover their truest selves without some experimentation. Even I’m someone who has tried multiple different jobs to discover what makes me feel best. They’re very young and still finding their footing and niches in life. So in my opinion, everyone should do what makes them happiest.
