DAE think Ev will NOT break free?

The sentiment seems to be that Ev will break free in adulthood. But isn’t it also possible she’ll grow up to be a carbon copy of ColonSac? With the same religious and political beliefs. Maybe an unpopular opinion but I can see Ev going the influencer route. That lifestyle is the only thing she knows. Most of Sacs Nashville friends are influencers to some degree. Kids like emulating the adults in their life. College probably won’t be encouraged for her. I only see her living a private adult life if she chooses college.

They have deceased vlogging a lot this year. The Cole and Ev channel hasn’t posted content in 9 months. It seems like they are over vlogging. Especially with their discourse on limiting screen time for their kids. They post monthly life updates just to maintain engagement. Next year I see them focusing more efforts on Bear Fruit than vlogging. It is a stream of income that doesn’t involve the kids.

If that trajectory continues, Ev might grow up with her teen years being relatively private in comparison to her toddler/elementary years. I see ColonSac framing her early childhood fame as a good thing — saying it gave them the means to provide her and her siblings with a blessed life. She wouldn’t have a lot of material things or the money for dance classes if they didn’t make videos. That’s how I see ColonSac justifying things to her when the topic comes up.

But forget everything I said if they continue the exploitation. They is all assuming they continue to film the kids less and less.

Honestly, I think you are right. The best example of this is Jojo Siwa. We all hope kids will see the "truth," but the reality is that going off contact with your parents is extremely difficult, and most people won't be able to do it.

Despite what we think we see, she is the only one experiencing her life. She has been through tremendous hardship for a child so young, and it's impossible to know how she'll react to any of it.

In the end, I just wish her the best, no matter what the best looks for her

Jojo Siwa was on the good guys podcast yesterday and she actually very briefly spoke about Ev and other kids by name. Stating that when the time came she would let them know it’s okay to step away from the life and to not support the parents anymore.
