What’s Happened to Kindness Online?

Since returning to the channel after our 18-month break, we’ve noticed something that’s honestly quite sad — a sharp rise in mean comments and unkind comments.

Many of these posters are new faces, and while we love welcoming newcomers, some seem to think being uber critical or demeaning is acceptable. It feels like the online atmosphere has shifted — not just here, but across many channels we follow. Other creators have said the same.

So we’re wondering: what’s changed in the last 18 months?
Have people become more stressed, more impatient, more divided?
Or are we all just worn down by life and the endless stream of bad news? The cost of living crisis?

Whatever the reason, we’re incredibly grateful for our kind, loyal viewers — new and old — who still bring warmth, humour, and encouragement. You’re the reason we came back.

We’d love to hear your thoughts:
Why do you think online spaces feel colder lately — and how can we bring the kindness back? ❤️

🍁🍂🍁As the cooler weather begins and the evenings are drawing in, I have been watching some new fantastic frugal and money saving content on YouTube. 🥰
One ladies content I have been enjoying this week is 'Rachel Reads Alot.' A lot of her videos are on money saving and frugal living as well as snippets of her life. 🍁🍂🍁

This is one of her videos, if you could show her some support and subscribe to her channel, that would be amazing. Thank you Lizzy xxx

It's nearly September 🍁🍂 back to school next week and the nights are drawing in.

September will bring us a fresh start for our budgets, we will be stacking the winter preparedness pantry with more stores and avoiding excessive Christmas spending by planning ahead.
What are you doing over the next few months to stay frugal and on budget?

This is a really interesting video from 1957 on household budgeting, it's had close to half a million views so many of you may have already seen it. If not, we hope you enjoy...
