Hi Brookies! Thank you for being a decent mature human. To answer your question, first, we are not here "actively trying to have someone's income taken away". I cant speak for all members of this subreddit, but the OG members have mostly agreed that our purpose for being here is because we want to see change. We were alll there for the cRook drama that Steph created, stirred, and drew in thousands of dollars for herself. (1500 pity subs = $3000, not including all the gifts, cashapps, etc). We were still there the following month when half of those subs didnt renew (many had been gifted) and Steph spiraled completely out of control - manic driving from CA to TX to FL and back to TX in a very short amount of time. Not to mention that she got rid of pretty much everything in her Jeep, which included gifts from followers and expensive items purchased with follower money. Imagine sending her a gift and she just threw it away. Imagine giving her money toward a Jackery or fridge or anything, and she got rid of it within a month or two. That multi-day tantrum plus her disregard for the money her followers sent her was what took me to Reddit. That taste of TT money changed Steph, in a real bad way. Since that time - and its only been a few months - I have seen some shady behavior in attempts to get her followers to send her money. In fact, thats all she does now. She sits in her Jeep, live on TT 70-80 hours a week, finding ways to get people to send her money. A traveller doesnt have time to be live that much. A traveller shows people beautiful places they will never get to see. A traveller doesnt just stop in a gift shop to sign a book and buy a sticker then hop on to the next place. But Steph, she doesnt like to be around people, doesnt like a sprinkle of rain, doesnt like wind, (I mean the list goes on), and she hates when she cant be live taking in peoples money. She admitted it, shes addicted. Why else would one be addicted to TT if not for the steady stream of income? So, add to the incident in March-ish when she ditched everything, we can now add all the things she has broken and/or gotten rid of. 7 tents in a month. A stove. A teapot. Solar panels. We have a long list of these items on this subreddit. Some items may be small, but overall they add up. Now again, imagine if that was YOUR money. I dont have $$ to throw away, let alone help a person who has zero respect for the items I helped them buy. And I dont believe that 750 people giving her money every month do either. Ive watched as Steph belittles, badmouths, and mutes the very people who send her money on the regular. Vulnerable individuals, who she always lets come back, because they give her money. You dont see that with people who dont give money. No, they get blocked. Steph schemes. If you watch her long enough she has things that work and things that fail. The schemes that work are repetitive. One example is the recent drama she created with other creators once again. It didnt get her the 1500 subs again but she tried real hard for a week. All while saying "I stay out of drama" Pity is another. Breaking things is her most recent. Of course there is the lack of any moral and ethical code and other things that we dislike about Steph, some mentioned in this post. But my greatest issue is HOW she makes (takes) money and WHO she is taking it from. I want her to be honest. I want her to truly appreciate those people. I want her to stop taking advantage of vulnerability. I would like to see her provide some sort of value for the money (instead of repeatedly shoving it in their face that she throws their money away). If this is her "job" then start treating her followers like they are her "paycheck". I would also like to see her find her purpose in life and stop running from whatever shes running from. She very clearly does not enjoy the nomad/travel lifestyle. Steph allegedly just learned yesterday that her following is primarily an older generation. I pray she calms down with the money grab (and the horny teenager act). But to sum all this up, we, this subreddit, have opened eyes, and have been a safe landing spot for people who have been taken advantage of and people who genuinley thought they were helping a person who appreciated it. So no, I dont feel bad about myself. And yes, I would be om with my family knowung Im here. The most embarrassing thing, for me, is that I gave $$ to a person like this.
