The Cracked Reality Of The ACE Family - The Truth Behind The Drama | TRO (ft. J Aubrey)

hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the right pinion the home of a [ __ ] with too much free time and family is my god do I love families woop woop woop humor aside the family is an important staple in the many societies that we do indeed live in as a concept it has been around for longer than I can remember and although many of us do have various goals there are many people who would just like to settle down with a partner who loves them and raise a few kids it's a completely fair perspective and one that I hope people have the opportunity to fulfill it's definitely something that I would like to do at one point in my life though I'm not entirely sure when however I think many of us have a very idealized version of how these things would play out and although it often takes a few attempts to get it right and a few more for some and a few more for others maybe a few more on top of that it's still something we like to hold on to which is where the idea of family vlogging comes into play blogs appeal to the audience under the notion that they can represent a life that we may idolize and feel an affinity with that's what has made so many of these wealthy bloggers famous from the start however it's important that these people can place themselves in the vloggers position and that the life they envision can be channeled through a relatable individual there was a time when a majority of audiences on YouTube like to envision their lives as the sweet wholesome ones that will one day be blessed with the same glorious tidings that so many of those lovely bloggers have earned themselves however at some points in the last few years I've noticed a shift I noted it in my Emma Chamberlain video that hey I guess people are feeling kind of cynical now and I mean who can blame them the world is a depressing place and I guess everyone is just kind of in that mood and out of that rows a new lineup of stars who were slightly more controversial than the previous ones there are positives and negatives to this but at least it gives us something to talk about now this didn't have to be particularly negative in a way it just meant slightly Ball loud obnoxious and less subtle this was a case in every genre and eventually the penny dropped in the family genre - you know you don't have to pretend that everything's perfect how about conflict and storm people love melodrama you just need energy some ideas a bit of money and of course a partner and a kids I mean hey they can't be too hard to find especially if you're as dashing as the man known as Austin McBroom I enjoy catching the war enjoy just having a glass of the teammates on the field after Oh Austin McBroom is the husband and father of the ACE family now he is an individual who is obviously known primarily on YouTube however at one point it seemed his career was not destined there as that clip showed he was a very sporting oriented individual and was highly rated in the basketball scene and to be fair the dude had some moves he could shoot some hoops given his problems you could say he was kinda low-key media figure he had a previously established audience due to his skills and his an old screenshot of his 2015 Twitter long before the launch of his YouTube channel which had his three principals listed in his biography one God to family three hoop a simple set of beliefs that had guided him to relative success in the basketball scene and a tendency to write inspirational tweets one of the elements that was very notable on his Twitter prior to the creation of his channel was love his fiancee Katherine dalla fairly stand a story behind them they saw each other a couple times and then decide that actually they had feelings which led them to initiating this relationship and the subsequent birthing of their daughter Elle the run-up to that child had a fair bit of coverage on Twitter a nice bit of hype surrounding it so I guess at that point they decided that their life was interesting enough to start a YouTube channel is our first Q&A you guys send us a bunch of questions now when I looked at their old content and I saw their first video was a QA I thought they were pulling my leg that's some boozy confidence in your character to open your channel with a QA video now from looking at an old social blade screenshot it's possible that they had some other videos up but deleted them before launch so I guess they just used the already existing clout that they had surrounding off basketball career and his relationship to launch the channel they originally record the incredible name of Austin and Katherine blocks before changing it to the ACE family ace representing the initials of each family members named Austin Katherine and Elle they do have another child now a layer but I guess a SIA family didn't quite have the same ring to it they started off on a fare wave of momentum and have since built on that accumulating over seventeen million subscribers in the space of three and a half years so what's the big deal family vlogs are here to stay well although vloggers have always taken on their fair share of drama there's he is resenting more about the ACE family and even more specifically the man the house Austin McBroom in that he may not be practicing what he preaches and treating those around him with their respect that may be expected after all this family is a family who's very grateful living life to the fullest like we're keeping God first being good people and just trying our best to inspire others we're doing our best as far as using our platform in order to do greater things we just get so excited to do things for people and if you can't already tell like that's just in our nature and that's what we want to do my family grateful for many things but sometimes more than words is necessary to convince people that you believe it and that is what has been in question over the last couple years ultimately climaxing in a situation very recently involving much more serious claims although I have a lot to say about the validity of those this is not going to be just about Austin in fact Katherine is probably going to be receiving a fair bit of scrutiny as well so don't worry everyone's going to receive their fair share of discourse let's have a discussion to see if the ace family are really as ace as they proclaim to be or if behind the candelabra they're not quite the role models that many see them as well fellas I'm ready to get up and do my thing I want to get into a man you know and yes that was a James Brown reference because well I'm a sex machine let's go I want to start off this part with a quick disclaimer if there's one red flag that will immediately make me question a creators desire to produce realistic organic content it's the notion of practice now of course not just any pranks I'm sure there are some great pranks out there but do you know that brand of prank that I'm talking about roman atwood fouseytube Joey salads prank invasion all that jazz the reason that I make the statement is because for many of you YouTube veterans you will know that these pranks were all blatantly fake the reason for making these pranks fake was because there was never a standard presented by an orders that we'd expect them to make the content genuine feel valued the stunts over the sentiment behind it on top of this the fakeness ensured the safety of the individual involved particularly when they partook in inflammatory stunts which may cause emotional harm to another individual now honestly the ace family were probably far from the worst in this era and the topics that they faked probably didn't have many social repercussions when I found out that a lot of their most viewed videos were pranks and seeing as how they kicked off their Channel I started become a bit concerned I don't have much confidence in these channels because honestly I believe that any channel prepared to sell an audience pranks weren't shy away from selling the audience anything else however it is a case of positive proof and I am a judgmental person in this instance but my first impressions of the family were not optimistic to say the least one of my concerns with channels that fake these things is that they don't really have much concern for their actual relationship with their audience and only care about how the audience sees them which allows them to are take in exploited behaviors that the audience overlooks this is one of the running criticisms when I was accumulating a list of topics that were on the chopping board today that they've pretend to care and actually just exploit the relationship whenever they can which is a pretty cynical perspective once again the feel feel such a claim we need proof let's talk about the insolence that have drawn this criticism starting with their charity work to many audiences charity work seems like an unmitigated positive those who engage in chapter 4 haveá-- are often praised and rightly so however for the very cynical people they may see charity as a phony way for a creator to try and gain reputation points which may lead to more negative exploitation in the future now generally I don't like to the latter perspective because these sorts of things even if their stunts can bring a lot of positive attention to good causes but I also have to note as a premise that doing charity work does not make you an inherently good or trustworthy person which is where we look at the ACE families charity work and lastly to spice it up a little bit the person I picked for the one-on-one competition after he's done taking a nail we're gonna play five on five he will pick his four other guys and I will pick my four other guys and the winner of that game will receive $100,000 check to donate to charity each player on that team will get a portion of the money to donate to their charity of choice and guys that's the best part about this event is to be able to give back to us there's nothing better in the world and to give backs the ace family love to give back and so when they announced that they were hosting a charity basketball event in June 2018 obviously in the spirit of Austin's game of choice people were excited as hurt the winner of the game would receive $100,000 to donate to charity a very noble cause indeed the event came around it was a huge success it seemed that people had a great time and they even donated that seventy five thousand all righty then this court fairly immediate criticism as it was not the amount they had originally pledged to donate many theorized that given the sales they should have made over five hundred thousand dollars from the event but others argued that given the costs it is possible that seventy five thousand was actually every small amount to donate and besides seventy five thousand was better than nothing any sort of discussion around how much they made is very great and so it's hard to tally up cost profit margins however if I was in their shoes given the money involved if the donation fell short I probably would have just billed in the remaining money myself or at least tried to explain to my audience the situation the closest they get to doing that is this clip from what I understand they took eleven dollars from each ticket for ambulance just to be their own spot but even then the explanation is rather insufficient as pointed out by epic youtuber pyrocynical so let's take eleven dollars off each ticket but that's still a fraction of the possible profit he made compared to the money he gave away also he might have even hide the stadium for a discounted price or even for free because this was a chair and regardless you want to honor your commitment to charity they were selling merch at like $65 a piece at the event and I feel they could have afforded it I'm sure the money went to the right cause I just sincerely hope they did donate every last cent because the next few events may make you doubt that they did for me once shame on you fool me twice well shame on me but still significant amount of shame on you two and once again the source of the controversy came from a basketball event involving $100,000 I mean it's like they're baiting their audience at this points so in this video Austin announces he's doing another giveaway this time actually $100,000 and he'll be giving it to anyone who can shoot ten consecutive hoops in a possible competition it sounds pretty easy to meet if you think you can do it hit us up if you think your favorite youtuber or celebrity can do it make sure you tag them I also put the video on my Instagram so make sure you tag them in the comments a 300k you don't have to pay to enter although we suggest it's up to you but we suggest whoever wins donates a portion to charity you all know Katherine I love giving back now given the rather general language him talking about YouTube but also doormat anyone who thinks they're good enough in both his video and his announcement tweet you'd expect this competition to be open to anyone writes Ron Austin just listed 20 already fairly wealthy individuals who definitely weren't just randomly selected it kind of sucked into an insult to injury during the competition he invites one of his other basketball playing friends sound who wasn't even on the original list to play and that guy wins it 100k which once again doesn't mean much to anyone people were fairly annoyed because they did feel misled not because he actively stated that he was going to be inviting his fans because he has shown in the past that he is completely capable of clarifying when he only wants influences such as the last fast ball game what that means is I'm going to challenge anyone with a support system whether that be a youtuber whether that be a celebrity whether that be an artist whether that be a baby so basically you want to play against someone who has a fan base I bring a fan base you some of that has support yes when he said the competition was open to people people have the impression that he would be inviting anyone thus imposing these false expectations the only comment that could remotely be interpreted in the direction of saying it's more influence focused is this one so this is a new year everyone wants the new year to be better than the last year so our first video in the new year was a video dedicated to all of our ace family members so now we want to do something fun for the social media world after watching this around five times I came to the conclusion that he was implying this would be focused away from the fans but it was a vaguely delivered statement and in the context of the whole video you'd completely receive a different impression again it's not a huge deal it's just strange why he didn't seek to make it clearer maybe because he thought it wouldn't be high enough stakes if everyone already knew that a rich person was winning a hundred thousand Catharine there nonetheless it's not a huge deal he can quickly clear it up right no I didn't expect to find any of Austin's response but I did and now I understand why he doesn't normally respond because wow that's a bad response it's hard to work out exactly what he's saying here all the logic but he basically seems insulted that people have a problem when he's done so much and that if you're a true ace family member you must appreciate everything else the Mighty Austin McBroom does and take no issue with his decisions his other response was at the end of the charity video to the criticism that everyone was rich so they didn't need money good - like a lot of people kept saying you'll give it to someone who needs it like you kept saying everyone in the event you know makes a lot of money so they don't need it guys you don't know what people's situations are so you don't know how much someone makes at all right but for someone who actually really needed it I pick someone out of the stands that wasn't in the contest just because we really wanted to give it away and I feel like he had a good shot next thing you know repair enough I guess well once again the problem arose with the fact that this comment seemed purposely dishonest as the winner Austin Mills is the son of Jade Mills a luxury real estate agent who has over 5 billion in sailes now I cannot comment on a son's relationship with his abstence ibly rich mother but it definitely made McBroom comments look a bit ridiculous it's the ace family's Channel but the behavior surrounding the stunt seemed insulting to the audience's intelligence arrogant and all around a bit mean-spirited and for someone who's so humble and intent on giving back you think he wouldn't react as if he was a God who felt people weren't praying enough to him why are we so hard to apologize for a misunderstanding that seemed honestly purposely vague aiya no let's talk about it more one things that I've noticed is that when being faced down with serious criticism the ACE family doesn't really like talking about it and when they do it's typically not with the most finesse they have two options they can respond which we've hardly observed already or they can ignore and elicit sympathy through what may appear to be unrelated methods but honestly I'm not sure if there is coincidental as one might assume let's begin with the former how they act when they respond I've already criticized them for their response to people's annoyance about the basketball game which although not the biggest deal did demonstrate a lack of competence but there is another great situation which once again illuminates this and probably a few more points as well we've been getting a lot of comments lately what happened with ace family in this truck so we just wanted to address it and let you guys hear first-hand from our mouths what really happened this is one involving an individual by the name of urban trade mark 7 he's designer he makes some pretty slick designs and he felt that McBroom had ripped him off yes you know he came across the the merchandise again and he bought a couple items and he asked Bobby like here do you know the dude that makes these and Bobby I guess told him like yeah you know I know him but all his information is on the label so if you want to reach out to him you know that's Instagram and this contacts is on there so he reached out from the text messages that I post and I was like for show that's linked up and try to put something together there to explain a bit more depth it appears the Austin had seen him purchase some of urban designs while out and about in local stores and it asked after him apparently he really liked the designs and had fans who he felt would appreciate some merchandise mate in the style of that content there I was alright well what I could do is I could make a couple exclusively for you and then we could sell them and then you know when I link back up I'll make up when I link Becca we could negotiate like a price they decide to convene and discuss the prospects of working on some collaborative content so it appears that they were going to work on some designs together before finalizing the financial side of it there's also something about a coloring book that I think urban wanted McBroom to promote as well one that he gifted to marooned daughter although McBroom didn't want to take a picture with him which he found suspicious due to his association in a way so yes on my own i'ma give up until I was like I'm gonna give a book to his daughter because I made the book for my daughter that's what inspired me and I'm like he has a little one stone her coloring book so on my way out when we got to the car I give them the coloring book and I'm like hey you know this is for your daughter and I'll just give it to her if you can you know take a picture you know just trying to promote the book for kids that's for sure I got you like do you mind if I get a picture with you with the book he Italy was like froze up for a second was like nah let's just wait man I only take professional pictures the conversation continued over the following days with urban presenting the designs to mcbroom who said he'd been busy what was he busy with well allegedly copying urban zone designs and then selling them himself even one regarding an ice cream truck to the ace family allegedly nabbed for one of their subscriber specials just under a year later I seen on YouTube it was mad it wasn't I just know my word and I was so then I basically that's what you see from the text I hit them up on my bro what's up with this those messages we'll put here basically when it transpired people do that and people get really influenced in and ripped you off so fast that I'm not the only one that's been done to I'm pretty sure so I kind of like I took it with a grain of salt another thing was dope is I'm working on the truck that I'm about to drop that we can like basically do pop ups where every band that I make exclusively for you we pop up we could sell them you know this is love telling the whole get down about the truck and I used to have a store and now for like mobile is the new way and like you know I got exposed to because you know in dealing it's crazy because when I posted about the truck they had the subsequent confrontation it needs to grand EMS and urban felt provoked eventually into making video with the publication of this ice cream truck instant it's hard to exactly measure the verifiability of these claims it appears that a lot of what was said was true about these circumstances surrounding it the difficulties come in to the fact that it's difficult to exactly argue how much was plagiarized in a way and how much McBroom just decided to do in his own style but regardless it's a shame they couldn't communicate these differences more effectively and the whole ice cream truck scenario is a bit suspicious so because the vagueness and the language in the DMS that I've seen it's difficult to once again say exactly what's on on no one really admits too much however as said this was about response I'm once again Boston demonstrated to his exceptional class saw some headbands hit him up wanna clap you didn't want to collab with me because he tried to say that the headbands were expensive he was bullshitting he was trying to get over on me so I say you know what you know what I'm gonna have my grandma making my own headbands because everybody's selling headbands in the stores everybody sell headbands you ain't the first headband maker [ __ ] you think you are you did invent her headbands idiot so I made my own headbands he got mad cuz I posted in I had a little following he got mad was wearing my headbands with L he was like this loses he he try to take my idea he took my idea where you put the banner on your head and you cross in your tire you put it in your head he stole that from me awesome from the AIDS family stole my art and I don't like him don't like him right so then a year later just like Fred the ACM was blowing up I'm itching for that Klout pill I need that Klout ace family blowing I got over 10 million subs I'm trying to give some attention he comes out after we have made an ice cream truck from SD raps they literally customized this random as [ __ ] they came up with it with their own brain they made the ice cream truck literally in a day right we would release it he tries to come out and say we took his idea from getting an ice cream you know how many ice cream trucks that's the real positivity we love to see and I'm making a slight observation here but he's a bit of a dick once again I can't tell you if this is true because I haven't seen any real count prevalence I'm open to alternative stories as the DMS were pretty baby but he's just so angry and petulant about it but you kind of want to hate him and this is one of the problems with the ace family and most notably Austin lack of empathy it was the same problem that made his response to the basketball competition feel disconnected from what people were trying to say now it's clear this isn't a formal response so I can't judge it too seriously but he just seems so angry at this guy because he sees anyone who criticizes like that as a cloud chaser even though he was only provoked by one specific incident later which clearly bothered him it was clear urban was upset at the time and the DMS even if they were vague showed a genuine pain and Austin taps into that during that conversation saying in the messages that Urban's coming at him like a woman a very classy man the content implies that he just can't acknowledge that he's ever made any missteps or why anyone would ever be upset at him and I think that rubs people the wrong way it rubbed me the wrong way disclaimer the problem of a lack of empathy is going to be a running theme in this video when you see that side of Austin it does bring into contention the notion of motives for the way that he interacts with his audience he always speaks about him wanting to give back but when people might come at him from the angle that implies they feel dissatisfied with his behavior he just doesn't seem to clock it selfless philanthropy in the way that the ACE family promote is based on empathy for others and adds a shade of skepticism when they seem to demonstrate a lack of it in other errors it doesn't necessarily prove an inability when you frame yourself in a way that anyone criticizing you is a bad faith actor and true ace family members know how much they really do it just gives me Greg bull vibe so whereas Greg Poole was overly defensive of destructive behavior from his children mcbroom seems to have a basic ego problem I don't want to doubt that the ace family clearly do a fair bit for their audience it's clear given their interaction and I respect that but it's hard to deny that they have fallen short at point and when you fall short again and again and again the Critias and will begin to accumulate and as said Austin isn't one for official statements unless they're completely unrelated to the actual criticism what do I mean well in spite of the fact that the ACE family seldom demonstrates sympathy for their critics they're more than ready to expect it themselves and often at opportune times so I wanted to focus on this for the next part I've already talked about a couple instance where they seem to undermine standards that many would consider standard for that of a crate at their size but it does not end there as a successful crater it's likely that you may want to engage your audience through other mediums this is something that the ACE family decides to pursue with the launch of their ace family app now looking at it in its current state reviews are overwhelmingly positive so hopefully any problems there have been resolved however at the time there were many people who had felt ripped off due to the lack of content there were a couple of reasons for this at least as I understand and therefore the ACE family felt it was a good time to take a break not telling you guys how long just yet but we are taking a break during our break which is why we said wasn't really going to be a break we'll be focusing on our app along with our March for all the people will have the a stemming membership we cannot thank you guys enough full love and support you continue to show us just know we have a lot coming we're not gonna say too much we just want to upload exclusive content and show you guys as many people interpreted this it meant that they were going to be making content for the ACE family app and therefore creating a paywall between them and some of their less privileged viewers as said they were complained they won't provide enough content on the app to justify the additional payment so basically it felt like they were kind of failing on both fronts generally unless you're really strapped for cash is good to make exclusive content as a bonus rather than taking it away from your public content however a break is a break and in their defense is hard to say whether their comments were in reference to working on plans of their app or just the content itself I feel that this situation was likely a boiling over of other situation but it's clear that the ace family at this point after a run of controversies probably had enough this was all occurring in January of 2019 one of their most controversial months with reference to the hundred Kade Baskerville competition and another instant involving the purchasing of a phallic lollipop for a child which we'll get to later now maybe we were focusing on the app at this point but when they announced a break I found it coincided very conveniently with the announcement of what is now known as the ACE family documentary welcome to our life now to defend them on this front this was probably a conceptual idea before the drama but given their selected break that ends with their return it's very easy to think where their focus in the ensuing month may have been I know how much they worked on their merch or their app but I think that a bit of focus on this - I like documentaries on principle hell there's even a documentary out there on me and it won't be the last time that I try and make that sort of thing for a filmmaking perspective they could be really great but I think one of my biggest problems with documentaries even those like the ones from Shane Dawson is that they can easily control the narrative and often trying to make a statement on the actual character of an individual rather than any greater message therefore it can be utilized particularly by larger youtubers for propaganda reasons it's very easy for an individual to own a narrative when they own the camera even when they say it's behind the scenes behind the scenes documentaries were often gritty and characters were sometimes unlikable because they had a unique value in their performance that no one else could substitute and therefore their whole behavior came with them the modern-day YouTube documentary can be very easily hijacked by an individual to elicit sympathy from their audience and that's the impression I received when I heard about the ace family documentary how do they follow through on it and what we do is so difficult I feel like people don't understand that there's really nothing private in their lives anymore I decided to take on the burden of watching these episodes of it in case they said anything of interest and the first episode was harmless enough they talked about moving around and privacy issues and although I wouldn't exactly consider $1,500 a month apartment a struggle it was alright I understand that as public figures they probably have a stressful life my feelings were slightly mellowed by the end of the first episode however they went straight into it with the second whenever we do something good whenever we give back or we try to help people like no one ever really talks about that but as soon as like something comes up to where the ACE family is looked at in a bad light or there's some like drama stirred up or some controversy started up about us and it's not necessarily true like people hop on the bandwagon so quicken and that [ __ ] will make the news rather than we've done I guess this is what many would consider an indirect response it's completely coated with multiple of narratives and is what many youtubers will do if they don't feel like they can give a direct response to the criticism they'll basically just create some straw man and say wow the haters do suck it reminds me of that Jake Paul rap you know the one [Music] it sucks that media is often oriented towards a negative but that's only because the negative actions aren't what you'd expect from an individual it's out of the ordinary and therefore people are more interested when a person indulges in it that's not saying that you're a bad person and mob mentality can sometimes lead to the wrong impression we're all aware of that now but act as if all the backlash that you receive is representative to for example people being upset over tweets made seven or eight years ago is extremely deceptive does it mean that those people don't exist not at all but they're certainly not representing the majority of what people are likely bothered by basically this whole scene felt like Austin wanted to create something vague enough to invalidate and engrave it in the docq series the throws in other may be it very legitimate struggles in attempt to elicit sympathy from an audience that probably hasn't thought about the distinction between legitimate criticism and illegitimate criticism people go out of their way to make something seem so different of what it is like me playing with her her lay on her stomach having tummy time and now I'm like yeah there's such a bad dad because I laid my newborn on her stomach when it's literally just tummy time like everyone knows about tummy time I had laid her on her stomach to give her a tummy time I'm sitting there like making the cute snap with her and now people are bashing me for it like he's representing the criticism that he receives by talking about this situation the I don't think anyone with a brain is going to be thinking about then as the implications spread to the point that this is the sort of stuff being spoken about in the serious videos on him he shows a reel of those videos which it really isn't I get the people being overly critical mob mentality there are all things that grind many of our gears but to throw videos and to create this umbrella is dishonest and playing the sad music and implying sympathy with a title like the truth about the ace family is about as heavy-handed as they come like I've said before we're human and we've we've made some mistakes I mean like we're not perfect right but it doesn't mean that we're bad people you know and and something coming out and circulating again is literally purely just to make up us look bad here you are in a scene where they almost come to terms with their imperfections but then they flip it onto their head and say anyone releasing the stuff is just trying to make us look bad which given the criticism that I've discussed already is a fundamentally redundant statement given that some of these criticisms came from your own fans it's such an arrogant attitude that they try to masquerade in the oh woe is the struggle of the ace family narrative listen there are problems that come with Fame I can get why unnecessary attention and criticism can bother you but to speak generally and then provide an extreme circumstance to try and explain why you're actually suffering is like Al Capone asking why so many people were out to get him when all he did was evade taxes also do you know how to say the word frustrated because I'm feeling pretty frustrated right now flushed rate is frustrating and that's the frustrating for next parts you there's good criticism and bad criticism if you can't separate it I don't really have much respect for throwing an umbrella over it and arguing that they were the true victims a lot the criticisms that they received could have been resolved fairly easily only donating 75,000 charity donate an extra 25 holding a bus will shoot out where fans feel misled do another one involving your fans or at least do something involving your fans as compensation people feel like you've screwed them over don't be a dick and go out and just talk a bunch of crap it's not rocket science and I get you don't want to yield on every occasion but there's a point where principle pushes into stubbornness and you just end up looking unreasonable and hell when you actually make a mistake and you receive criticism that you can't respond to apologize or at least admit you got something wrong the phallic lollipop is a prime example of something that could have just been solved with a tweet saying it was inappropriate my bad but it wasn't the eight family are more than happy to admit they've made mistakes but they'll never tell you which specific ones because they don't want to actually admit to anything I don't think it's that demanding and that's one of the things that I think just shows to me that McBroom has a significant ego problem that they just don't want to ever say they've done anything specific wrong and if you make any specific criticisms they will blow it up to a greater character implication and say how dare you we're not bad people not everyone saying you're bad people some of these critics are even your fans it's very easy to see their whole documentary series as a beg for sympathy towards conflicted fans who may be on the fence about their behavior and I personally find it rather manipulative the documentary was probably the most elaborate way to try and retain fans it was probably done in the light of these success these Shane Dawson videos had yielded - so it was a win-win however it's not the first time that people have accused them of baiting for sympathy no there was an even more notorious incident in the year prior not too long after they had received a bit a stick for these 75k possible situation when something happens to you it's natural for you to receive people sympathies which is why sometimes people are a bit suspicious about the motives of those who have terrible stuff happened to them not too long after they've received some criticism this was the case for the ace family who had their house robbed in July of 2018 amongst a fairly decent wave of criticism on one hand this was met with a lot of sympathy and people understood why the ACE family would distraught over this however very quickly suspicions began to boil up around these circumstances surrounding this instance did the ACE family arrange or staged their own breakin however ladies and gentlemen this is a crime scene and we need someone on the case so I've assigned detective Jonathan jaw brie to deal with this matter and to see if we can work out what can be said about the situation I suggest we passed over to him to present it and his subsequent findings parents often play a critical part in forming their child's first relationships acting as a role model and exemplifying the types of behaviors they wish to see exhibited by their own one day as such children will always turn out best when their parents are there to nurture love and support them throughout their personal experiences which is why we need more parents shoving cameras down their kids throats for the sole purpose of internet clout that was a joke we know we don't need that at all actually but regardless family vlogs have always been an integral aspect of the YouTube as we know it from the Shaytards all the way down to the Inghams families will continue to play a significant role in the online zeitgeist and although it isn't necessarily for me I understand the appeal people children especially crave the types of connections that can be easily accessed through internet personalities when you watch Kol and staff for example you're just another audience member you're a part of their lives adding to the immense power of these figures offs and Weill kids and Families trust that these types of creators are being open and honest with them giving them an elevated responsibility which is why many believe these channels deserve to be held accountable for their actions since why the ACE family has been the subject of such intense scrutiny Hays family so we just got home all day and someone broke into our house on August 16th 2018 the ACE family made waves in the community by uploading their fame did someone broke into our house vlog where the title pretty much tells you all you need to know nearly walk in the house the house is pitch black we're tired as hell because we've been at Disney for the past six hours and I'm holding an L in my arm just Catherine's coming in behind me I said the house is pitch black I put the keys down the counter and I hear some like glass dropping and I look over and it's a back door shattered so I told Catherine the girls get the [ __ ] out of there we left had to run to the neighbors talk to the neighbors and now like I said the cops are finally here and hopefully they take too much [ __ ] their vlog documents the aftermath of a supposed to home invasion that took place while the three were spending some quality time together at Disneyland the half-hour-long video depicts police cars smashed belongings ransacked closets and of course Austin and Catherine trying their absolute best to save face in the wake of a crisis they took what [ __ ] you okay it's okay we don't need none of that we don't care about that we care about you mama they both make a clear effort to drive home the fact that Oh things can be replaced but people people can't which is nice you know I mean I don't think you'll find many who disagree with that sentiment but to me they just seem a little too calm and collected to have just found out their 10 million dollar home was burglarized which was just the beginning of the suspicions more and more people would start to air our merch box they wince at the merch box roll what were they looking for they try to take the YouTube playbook it's true that robberies could happen to anyone anywhere at any given time but to ignore the glaring circumstances surrounding the family at the time of their break-in would be counterproductive as James was quick to mention earlier people do crazy things for sympathy especially those who make their living by earning clicks online lord knows Austin and Catherine are no strangers to clickbait hell even if the robbery did happen they still went out of there to stage a whole ass thumbnail to get that sweet sweet CTR it strikes me as a bit odd in just a few weeks prior to this incident the whole basketball controversy went down in which people accused of the family of stealing money from a charity event so would it be within a reason for someone in their position to stage a fake tragedy for the simple aim of gaming pity yes but does that mean without a shadow of a doubt that the robbery was faked no not necessarily which is why we need to look at the details of the proceeding before we do anything else at first people were already suspicious of the way the police behaved on-camera some viewers even going so far as to insist that they weren't even a part of the LAPD turned light - yeah my guy right here he's helping us out he's part of the 8th family a theory that was later reinforced when a fan dug up evidence of a place called top cop shop in LA printing out fake police and squad cars on August 16th the same night the robbery reportedly took place catherine was quick to dismiss the smear campaign against her family on Twitter though you can't really blame people for asking the question can be renting reenactors is not particularly uncommon in reality TV leaving money to wonder if they just recreated the incident in an attempt to make their situation appear more dramatic for YouTube perhaps the family had suffered an actual home invasion a day prior and being unsatisfied with the initial footage rented out fake cops to hype it up for the cameras after all it couldn't have been completely fabricated the real police report was posted by game star on Twitter Austin later appeared in an Instagram live following the incident showing unedited footage of someone checking for fingerprints the next morning although it's pretty standard protocol to check for those kinds of things immediately after the incident takes place as to not disrupt the crime scene so you know that's a little suss he also announced that the family would be moving to a new house since they no longer felt safe in their current home leading some to assume that they simply trashed the and left it though that's a bit of a stretch considering it took almost an entire year for the move to officially happen but even then it's not completely off the table and we never saw any footage of the actual robbery a 10 million dollar house is sure to come with cameras and alarm system at the very least but despite their abundance coverage of the situation they never so much as mentioned any event it just comes off so orchestrated to me I don't know here we are being so honest with you guys like you guys say the craziest rumors about us craziest things someone is making a fake receipt of like us paying for a cop actors like these were real cops that were in her home like that's against a lot to do that to fake a receipt to fake an invoice that's against the law that's crazy that's slander we have to leave our house we can't be here anymore as much as I'd love to continue living in my home we have to leave because it's not safe looking at the evidence I believe something must have happened to them but even that still leaves room for more unanswered questions things like why didn't these robbers take the diamond play button and why was Austin filming the entire time as if to prove he wasn't hiding anything someone in their position probably wouldn't have behaved as orderlies given the tremendous shock and grief that must come along with giving your mansion ransacked while you're conveniently out at Disneyland the ACE family's in such a position to where they can literally lie about anything to their audience and they're not really gonna be pressed for the real truth the dishonesty of this family runs deep and whether this was staged or not people have every reason to question the parts of their life they publicize the fact that this all came only two weeks after some of Austin's old problematic tweets resurfaced coupled with their apparent inability to simply own up to their own mistakes is enough to make anyone suspicious but with this family really go through all the trouble of hiring fake cops to drum up a sensationalist story for the sole purpose of seeking reconciliation among their fan base that's something I'll let you decide for yourself that was some intense detective work but I'm proud to have YouTube's finest on the case which I'm aware is the equivalent of kindergarten cop but I think John would make can excellent Arnold Schwarzenegger if Arnold Schwarzenegger was a tiny twink of course but we love him all the same I think probably the most frustrating part of the whole ordeal was once again their reaction to the idea that people may be doubting this is the same routine that we've seen time and time again and you'd think they'd just be a bit more understanding of what's come their way but they just don't have a clue how to fully get people to understand their perspective Austin and Kathryn have never been afraid to present an image of themselves to the audience but they're also masters in orchestrating the representation of their lives so house intrusions whether legitimate or not is obviously going to be seen by many as part of the melodrama and many others as a distraction to how they actually act behind the scenes however even if they fake their intention for the good deeds their good deeds I'm if they provide the right message for aspiring creators and parents then that can't be a bad thing right but are they really truly virtuous are they really who we should be looking up to I'm just not entirely sure they are now as mentioned at the start the move away from wholesome role models towards characters that inspire more cynicism it's something that is impossible to avoid the ace family is no real exception to that rule and I understand that but I would also posited in spite of this family channel should be held to end marginally higher standard than those of Jake Paul because although they are mortal and worthy of their criticism like a lot of it Jay Paul is at least the representation of a dumb privileged frat boy who just moved in with his friends his antics represent a fleeting part of young adulthood who will eventually capitulate itself he has the inspiration of garbage but it's so unbelievably inept that no one really buys it with the ACE family what they're doing is presenting this family life which as mentioned a cultural staple to many a necessary stage of growth and a part of everyone's life whether positive or negative on the one hand I would hope that the ACE family realizes their behavior has an effect on probably the workings of many other families on the other hand it makes what we're about to talk about worse I think this is what particularly vexed people in the next couple of situations that we're going to be discussing let's talk about the lollipop this situation once again occurred in January of 2019 as mentioned Austin was taking a child out shopping they go into what I assume is a knob to show up or a more adult oriented shop and then shock horror on his snapchat story this is posted he finds himself in some high jinks would you say would you say what are you trying to get to you love what you don't need that oh no I can't believe she wanted the penis shaped lollipop what madness how on earth did that happen are you really making me buy this lollipop right now do you really want it oh please bro put down a bag right now keep that in the back forever do not show that to anybody okay that's your little secret guys I'm in so much trouble but she said she's gonna steal it if I didn't buy itself by oh damn it Austin he had to buy it for her or else she was gonna steal it damn broom really got put in a tough situation here I'm sure that everyone bought that very sincere explanation they didn't and there was immediate criticism but Austin because he bought a penis shaped lollipop for a child and then gave it to them it was extremely inappropriate and not the sort of thing that you would hope a family youtuber to be doing it's hard for me to be particularly angry I was much angry when Jake Poole just shouted at babies so maybe I'm just desensitized to penis but I do agree with the criticism no doubt Austin clear he wanted a funny story but knew he gets stuck so tried to pin the responsibility on the child I think it illuminates one of the biggest problems with children in family flocks in their little documentary series they say this yeah like if l didn't like being it from the camera she was like we wouldn't like running like if she was running away and she wasn't like you know interacting we would not be this family no we wouldn't 100% it would never be the same effect yeah and I just find it as a comment rather redundant children that young can't exactly say whether they want to be on camera even if they appear to enjoy it Austin and Katherine constantly talk about how their life has changed due to the attention in the series but Harley take a look at how it's going to affect a child at one of their most vulnerable times in their life and when you're someone like Austin who clearly find some value in the drama you know not being criticized for it could have genuine ramifications on your children it's not like I'm against having children in family blogs but I don't think they should be a part of the drama that Austin tends to involve himself in I don't think it happens on a rather excessive basis but I think it's something worth noting especially when looking at these dramas this isn't exclusive but it's a cumulative criticism they shouldn't ignore how one of their newest videos was originally titled as the children ranking seductive Halloween costumes and you can see why it bothers people infants aren't props and their innocence and well-being should be prioritized over the acquisition of views the fact that they never really talked about these things just makes them poor role models really and I'll explain why now take this recent issue where Austin acquired a jet ski and decided to ride it around his mansions pool according to many in the area the amount of water discharged caused mudslides that created additional problems in the neighborhood including negatively affecting property and a great plantation a complaint have been made to the city but the antics continued now as far as I can see there's not really much to imply this isn't the ace family it adds up so eventually this was resolved in private and Katherine did actually talk about it in their video and removed the jet ski from the accommodation in which she made this statement often wanted to get into this just there's nothing that I could do about it because you know Austin is Austin the end of the day you know sometimes I kind of have to be a team player and accept some of the things that you're gonna do be honest with you guys Austin has been doing crazy things for the past couple years you guys know that you guys should see the things that did it make it onto our channel because so I'm like content patrols after the first time that he used it on we actually got a complaint we were actually unaware of the complaint went straight to our builder because the neighbors actually friends with the Builder and so he's like hey man like there's water coming down on my property like originally when awesome no the jetski I was under the impression even Austin was under the impression like no one thought that the water would like reach anywhere else even though yes water reaches another places but because we have an infinity pool we thought that the water was going down like the bottom or like the drainage part since we have like all this land that goes all the way down we thought oh it's just water like you know it's not gonna go anywhere there's not that much water so he hit her or built her up and he was like hey like there's some water going here so our builds are actually took it upon himself and build a whole entire retaining wall down on our property so he built that wall and he actually didn't even tell us because it was my birthday we were on vacation so he said you didn't want to bother us with it so yeah we came back and used a jetski the third time we got a complaint and even though there was a retaining wall there someone wanted to complain and say something anyways which I understand like it's still the matter of the fact but it's still my property that the water is going down but to be honest is here is that for me I would be so upset like if someone was putting anything on my property like it doesn't even matter if it's water so you don't want anything on your property if I had a garden or you know like a garden of grapes or like trees and stuff like I would anything to our property so I completely understand like if anyone were to be upset but again you know there is that retaining wall that's there but either way I want the jetski out it kind of sucks that she didn't actually apologize sorry really does seem to be the hardest word for this family but it could be worse she does at least empathize with the people making the complaints then there's this recorded confrontation with Austin which honestly feels kind of force but you know at least they took action though I guess it would have been nice to see more of a personal acknowledgment from Austin given that it was his antics on the jetski that caused this trouble me commenters stated how they felt Austin came across as rather rude and inconsiderate I said I hope it's fake but it also seems dark that once again he purposely miss out on the opportunity to be a bit more mature and take some responsibility maybe I'd be a bit annoyed too if I thought my partner had sold one of my items but equally he was behaving so recklessly on it and there was no use for it either it's hard to really blame anyone but yourself for the record Katherine didn't actually sell it she just put it in the garage although this issue is resolved you don't really receive the impression that Austin has grown from the situation and I think the idea of personal growth is important to the issue at hand especially with a young or sensitive audience now fortunately Katherine's framing kind of shows Austin in the situation the juvenile individual that he is but he's often the one at the helm and he's the one with control over the narrative which as we've shown isn't always the best decision Austin comes across as a bit immature and the jet ski situation shows him as a big kid who loves his toys a little too much he often seems to lack thought about how his actions affect others and that's not a good thing for a crater his size I think we good for him to sometimes take a step back and look at the implications beyond his immediate family with an impression we'll order you're missing out on that opportunity the public eye is a cruel mistress it's true it kind of sucks we focus on the negative rather than the positive but by focusing on themselves as victims of the haters they are doing exactly the same these families still have millions of loyal subscribers who like and watch every single video they put out even at the peak of all the drama they have completely persisted as creators in the spotlight with overwhelmingly positive like to dislike ratios which I know doesn't mean everything but they say enough about the strengths of the ACE family members does that mean that as public figures they don't have problems no not at all in fact the public I can give you a lot of problems but it doesn't mean those problems are sourced in criticisms that have viewed it from public behavior which to many people is fair enough to criticize I think the ace family understand that to be honest because they do acknowledge it but they try to link it back to public criticism in an attempt to deflect it deep down the real problems with the public eye are as always how it can affect me personal private lives of individuals which has always been a problem for anyone with celebrity status especially rumors of what personally going on behind the scenes and how the gossip can spread this is something the ace family has been subjected to as well and once again that's the problem with family blogs I genuinely believe that blogging your life in the way that the ACE family does put your family at risk we spoke about Austin's relationship with Katherine but for the family it's a huge selling point on Twitter they only follow each other and they publicly indulge in a lot of romantic behavior and marked it to their audience however in spite of this many have become suspicious that it's a bit of an act many relating to other reported behaviors from family members mostly Austin while the prominent personal narratives is the one regarding Austin at Bruins faithfulness to his wife Katherine there are a lot of individuals who have claimed the Auster's antics extent to other women thus yielding to an out of regarding infidelity that a lot of people believe there have been a few videos and posts that have accused him of this one that receives a significant amount of coverage was opposed by bellick girl who in posting an Instagram message she sent to Katherine on Twitter stated that while Austin was in Miami for the and he slept with one of her friends and then made her sign an NDA the author of this message said they couldn't stand quietly and let this happen and wanted to let her know as a mother and a woman she also posted an additional reply saying that she had all the proof and screenshots and would only talk to Katherine Katherine did see this and she snapped back saying that if there was evidence she wanted to see it and if they were risk of being sued due to an NDA and she would pay for it out of her own pocket there were no further public interactions in this exchange and honestly it's hard to really prove anything either way there are a lot of claims about Austen's infidelity some had suggested that the person sending this message couldn't have been watching since L was still in the belly as their first video was the Q&A after L was born however as we know looking at the social blade it seemed there may have been videos before the first upload so unfortunately that was a bit of a dead end there were some additional conversations um possible proof but honestly it was not concrete at all it was pretty flimsy and therefore the situation just tailed off don't get me wrong there are a significant amount of people who believe they've seen often cheating you can't ignore that but this is the sort of thing that would undeniably put stress on individuals within families and a lot of it comes from the simultaneous popularity and unpopularity of Austen there are various videos out there that quote prove that he's cheating and once again it's really hard to ascertain what the truth is all right so it's really hard to make out but this is Austen right here so we'll just try to like slow it down somehow so I think it's this girl right here if you vote really carefully [Music] all righty honestly it's hard to ignore the general case of cheating given the amount of crimes but the number of people reaching to try and get a slice of the pie is just nauseating to follow this eventually boiled over with probably the strongest allegations of them all alluding to sexual assault published by YouTube by the name of Cole Carrigan he uploaded a video called the truth about the ace family which is a 15 minute video detailing and promoting these allegations against him so I know a lot of you guys are probably thinking what does Cole Kerrigan have to shoot the ace family why is he inserting himself in something that has nothing to do with him he should just become a drama channel at this point whenever it involves people that I love I don't care who you are I will speak what I want to speak and if I have facts to speak it will be said in the video he states how he came to the conclusion that he needs to come forward regarding this he states that people have been threatened with lawsuits and that he's not afraid to talk about it because he hasn't signed an NDA he talked about how keemstar had reached out to him and called him before subsequently turning down the story because he took a 500k bribe from the ace family but we kinda stayed low because we saw a bunch of tweets about people already knowing that he was uploading a video the next day about the situation so we kind of were just like not worried and we were just gonna kind of let it unfold that way so we didn't have to insert ourselves where it wasn't needed the next day came and he didn't tweet anything he didn't upload anything so I texted him saying how much did they pay you to keep quiet and he responded with this and I was completely shocked I immediately called my friend and told her that he was paid off five hundred thousand dollars to keep quiet about the situation and not I needed to come forward he then spoke about the situation he notes that there are NDA's involved but that would be nullified in instances of rape and that this situation is now more important than that though obviously might we've got a lot of attention and someone from Austin McBroom team actually texted my friend that this happened to I'll put this thing shot right here basically the saying that we should be careful and shouldn't go any farther than what we're already doing to avoid legal action and I proceeded to tell her they're just trying to scare you I just went through these exact same things I'm not scared I also didn't sign an NDA and I also don't tolerate the [ __ ] that has happened to my friend so with that being said I told her to ignore that message because what needs to be said is going to be said regardless and if I need to say it I'll do it because I didn't sign NDA come arrest me so the story is that basically often approved a set of girls to come down and see him they convened in Miami around the 21st of July for an event Austin went with his dad call them provides corroborating screenshots to show circumstantial evidence for the environment that preceded this event and then he goes into the details of the sexual assault disclaimer this following clip will not be pleasant after they all have been drinking my two friends went back to their room to go change because the Sun was setting and that's when Austin the security guard the father and two other guys came into their room obviously I don't have reporting that went down in the room but my friend told me that she repeatedly said no multiple times over and over and over to the point where she started crying begging them to stop that's when they forced themselves in her and I will insert the photos of the blood all over the bedsheets in the hotel room right here on the exact same date June 22nd there are many more details but I'd recommend watching the video if you're interested it's strong stuff for sure he continues to show evidence of a conversation that followed he felt provided more substantiation to the environment that played into this before having this friend who is the victim come on the phone for an anonymous testimony this testimony doesn't provide too much more bother detail if you want that then I'd recommend you go listen ultimately Cole concludes that this is enough evidence to prove beyond doubt that Austin McBroom is not just a cheats but a rapist and someone who does not deserve to be in such a position of power okay so now that you literally have the point of view from somebody who was actually there that is enough proof and I really don't need to provide anything else for you to see that Austin its dad this whole security team our pieces of [ __ ] and these are not people that should be given all this crazy amount of success I can't live with knowing that this type of person who's doing these things that people is just like winning at life literally having everything just handed to them money fame that this was a huge problem for the ACE family with the public eye on them it felt like everything was on the edge of imploding but what was going on behind the scenes wasn't quite as cut and dry as it seems I hate knowing that something this serious could put it into the ace family or such a loved group of people like I don't want to be that person that's not what I'm here to do I don't want to split up a family I don't want to end relationships because I've been getting a lot of messages like that oh why don't you stay quiet why are you trying to ruin or in this family it's not about that like that's the last thing I want to do is rip someone's family apart or anything but whenever something this serious happens and it's to my friend and multiple other people are coming forward about other experiences it's just not something that I as a person can stay quiet on it's just against my morals and it's something I absolutely won't do so that's why I am here making this video for them Wow how honorable cold the video in question is haunting and powerful and for a while the momentum seemed solidly in Cole's favor however the ties began to turn when additional details came out particularly regarding the claims he had made about keemstar obviously as we know in his video Cole claimed keemstar was paid five hundred thousand not to cover the drama but this was refuted pretty quickly by keemstar himself as he posted screenshots which showed he'd followed up on his message by clarifying he was being sarcastic on top of this logically speaking there was no way that keemstar would have admitted something like that seriously and just casually in a DM like that as it would threaten his brand given how much money it is likely keemstar has already I'm not sure 500k would make a huge difference and therefore this will turns his story about sarcasm makes much more sense frankly you've been very adamant on Twitter that you are going to ruin the ace family so if they did pay me off 500k why would I tell you it doesn't reflect well on Cole because it's a simple fact if he's prepared to lie about this then what else was he prepared to lie about a measly the other girl who was referenced in the video comes forward with her own testimony she doesn't say too much but she says she felt the video was not released for the right reasons and that Cole had approached her under the precipice that he thought they could make a lot of money off this these DM brought forward by this other victim showed Cole not actually being concerned put the two sub victims but showing more concern in how much money it could make them so I'm sure they would want to pay me a hundred K or more not to say [ __ ] and then I could split that with you guys if you help me and send me all the receipts that I need with this additional information Macroom jumped in showing these gems and also stating that he would be pursuing legal action although Cole has stated that he does not feel that they are following through on that threat he's also admitted that his intentions were not pure at the start but now he realizes that the fight for justice must persist and has found a new reason I just hate this all there were some additional tweets and allegations that were just terrible this set of screenshots were proven completely fake really depressing Catherine responded to but it was with this weird DM which I wasn't even sure was in the video and I'm not sure how it tied into the allegations so I was confused about that oh and one more thing this garbage tweet which implied that because he had made multiple statements about involving his lawyers it applied some kind of guilt I don't think that's how it works I think Austin has an ego I think he wants to make people who he feels have accused and wrongly suffer and I think that will follow through I think if this does go to court you'll understand why he acquired Lewis as a quick side now I thought it was really terrible also how people claimed the one the girls was paid off because she said Austin McBroom was not at fault you know the sort of believe victims parentheses when they agree with me narrative that I find absolutely vulgar most the people involved in this situation are fundamentally unlikable and I don't think many of the audiences are equipped to handle this either trial by tarot cards is a new one I admit I'd also like to add the girl has since deleted these statements from her Instagram but stands by them understandably she didn't want it to be a persistent aspect of her life it's hard to say exactly what happened but I'm not going to dismiss experiences as people being paid off it has become a bit of an obsessive narrative even on kiemce stars video where he shows the context to the DM there are people claiming he was paid off to one person even said watch Cole Kerrigan's video as proof despite that video it's a mess and people are projecting preconceived opinions to dictate their position on something much more complicated it's not impossible that someone's been paid off somewhere but on the other hand being able to expose as paying you off could be just as profitable in the online age so people will be very cautious in offering individuals payments themselves in spite of all this I just feel bad for the daughters involved but what about the children cliche I'm aware but these are the controversies that are gonna make people's lives a misery because people are taking a family life and turning into a game of clowns and those children didn't consent to that this new drama is the point where it becomes destructive I don't know fully whose fault that is but the fact that coal can sit there and say it doesn't want to tear a family apart but then make that video extremely disingenuous Austin has played been up to something to the extent of it I'm not sure but he needs to be more cautious he's a huge crater now congratulations you live a lavish life but you still have a family this is the sort of stuff that will form a relationship even if your partner believes you and the Waring thought is that doubt that people are just staying together for the sake of the YouTube channel that's not healthy either families are meant to be natural they're meant to exist because you want them to exist if you can film that family life and make a quick buck then I'm not one to stand in your way but the prime M of a family is to surround yourself with people you love and provide a healthy environment to children who are going to be the next generation and you want to provide them with the principles that they stand by Austin and Katherine obviously didn't ask these allegations but people's negative judgment towards the ACE family has been a result of a consistent failure to empathize with other people and so when the ace family needed empathy of their own they didn't get it my empathy is free I think it's [ __ ] that if Falls these allegations have surfaced in such a way pushed by an agenda hungry toxic individual who should be nowhere near dealing with cases as sensitive as this but look at the controversies we spoke about today and asked yourself how can you make audiences see your perspective more clearly the aches family kind of stuff they seem fake the often seem entitled to think they're above criticism because the good deeds they've done which trivializes those good deeds they lack empathy for others and yet trying to manipulate to ask their audiences through instance or truth style documentaries and generate they mostly Austin seem to be ill-equipped to be role models to viewers both adults and children this is a build of a lot of contempt in critics because they've acquired this position of power who are not being particularly responsible and so when these more serious allegations surfaced paired with assumption that many people have that Austin is a cheat people immediately wanted to see the back of them people wanted to take them down I personally treat these allegations with caution given that it already seems muddy and the mix of vested interests really doesn't reassure me if it's real then once again terribly handled and it should have been kept out of someone like Cole's hands I think most of the hatred towards them is an outcome of them just constantly pissing off people and although it is people's responsibility to not be as presumptuous it's incredible once again how quickly people have jumped to a conclusion I feel like it's a risk when you constantly shun people who criticize you you're going to create tension which in this instance snapped let us move on to our conclusion from this lengthy saga [Music] the ace family seemed to involve themselves in much more drama than a lot of YouTube families and they go this midway between responding to criticism and just straight-up deflecting it or victimizing themselves and they never seem to work out the simplest way to respond either because of ignorance or ego probably both to a certain extent Austin seems to be the worst offender he seems rather juvenile and reckless he's basically Roman Atwood trying to be Jake Poole and Jake Poole shouldn't be a dad he's already exploiting enough children as it is Katherine although being somewhat more reserved seems to at least be complicit in a lot of these stunts and manipulative in many ways often rationalized in the behavior and dodging the criticism equally some people have accused her of being a gold digger but no it's kind of sexist as underplays her role in the actual channel they're a couple they are both beneficiaries of their own interaction with each other which means that you can't tell if there's something really wrong because you really only see what they want you to see at least two fundamental doubts in the authenticity of the relationship it doesn't mean that those doubts are correct but you can see where they come from they both kind of contribute to this mess that we've gone through today in their own unique way and even though they have their supporters they also have a lot of enemies and individuals who do not have the best experience with them if the stupid subtrees angry Instagram rants and publicity stunts didn't rub some on the wrong way they'll find something equally obnoxious will do I think they're the worst know when you've had to experience individuals like daddy-o five it puts it in perspective they make a lot of people happy and I can't deny that but they still behave in a way where people are gonna lose out there are instance that it may be questioned their intent which is important when you're dealing with a larger young audience who are prone to exploitation and I haven't even spoken about every instance they're promoting a message to millions of people and some are going to take issue with that especially when it's poorly delivered it is inevitability they can't be upset at that principle they can be upset when people falsely accuse stuff that might actually jeopardize the private life of individuals involved and cause trust rifts where they may not be warranted I said I can't tell you how much of what's been said is true but I'd probably be pretty upset to equally be aware that provided Cole's allegations are false it is probably a cause of crying wolf their behavior building up a negative perception so that when something negative happened to them people to it the easiest explainable roots the point is though sometimes the wolf is actually there it's important to remember that people who've been wronged can be in the right but it's also a case for why the ACE family should try and build a better rapport with their critics family channels are changing Austin McBroom the ACE family definitely seek to pursue a different relationship with their audience and on principle I can respect that however their conduct in other ways certainly hasn't been as high to a standard as many would hope and the standard does have to be kind of higher for a family channel not just for the sake of the audience but for the children I hope they really do feel involved with their channel because it's not something you should for right now the kids are really young so they're unlikely to specifically remember that much so this sort of stuff can still really affect the development of a child I hope they get out of this drama embroiled side of YouTube and learn how to deal with the nature of controversy a bit better at the end of day people are still gonna look up to them as role models there's a monumentally sighs channel and they're still parents I hope all innocence prevailing they have the chance to have that family life they sometimes claim desire I've never thought about stopping [Music] that is if they really want it so yes that's the video what a fun time we had here is been bangin go and check out J
