Transcripts

these are the five worst family channels

in YouTube history and coming in at

number five is the prince family who

would quite literally give up their own

children for a couple extra views the

parents Bianca and Damien gain an

audience by peddling the most atrocious

clickbait you might ever witness take

for example this video titled pray for

the prince Family House firefighters

pulled up with a thumbnail implied that

the house had caught on fire in all

actuality their house-related emergency

was a leaking pipe in the backyard which

was fixed not with a firefighting crew

but rather by turning the tap off in a

different video they'd clickbait my car

got repoed where going broke although

after clicking on the video you'll find

that the car was simply being taken to a

mechanic as a result of a flat battery

on top of this they've literally

uploaded more than 10 extremely serious

videos stating that they're breaking up

without ever actually doing so but even

then this is nothing compared to how

they use their children and pregnancies

to get extra clicks the scummiest

example is this video titled no

heartbeat with a thumbnail of a pregnant

Bianca going into an ambulance in

applying that perhaps their baby had

died when you watch the video however

it's explained that Bianca simply had a

bladder infection which moved the

position of the baby in her womb you

couldn't find a heartbeat at first

because she moved so much the baby keeps

moving then in this video titled we got

into a car accident at 32 weeks pregnant

she freaked out the prince family

implied that they'd crashed the lambo

and put their unborn baby in danger when

in all reality they'd simply gotten a

couple of scratches at the rear of the

vehicle although it'd be when the baby

was born that they'd become even

scummier beginning with Bianca implying

that she wasn't happy with the baby's

physical appearance just moments after

giving birth

she do have pretty eyes

her ears

imagine being one hour old and your

parents are obsessing over your skin

slash eye color the nurse had to remind

them that she's a beautiful baby if you

mix this in with more clickbait about

Damien not being the father it's no

surprise that they'd State CPS almost

took out kids from us although this

video was also clickbait as they'd spend

the entire 36 minutes doing a mukbang

without ever addressing the title while

it's hard to call their content Noble

the prince family haven't really hurt

anyone with their untruthful videos

although the same can't be said for the

royalty family the household consisting

of mother Andrea father Ali and their

son Ferran employ much of the same

tactics as the prince family although

with the added bonus of extremely fake

videos often made with the purpose of

justifying poor choices for example in

mid-2019 that upload a video titled why

is this happening to our family the

truth in which that Faker scenario where

fans were showing up at their house hey

bro why are you taking pictures of my

house April why are you taking pictures

of my house you think that's cool bro so

they could then announce in the very

next video that they were buying a

mansion once in their mansion that stage

another video where a homeless person

had broken into their back house leading

Ali to become the hero by giving the

homeless guy money yeah I don't want him

to stay on the streets can't be selfish

I'm gonna give you some cash but I'm

gonna need you to leave all right only

four months later their back house was

actually broken into by a real Intruder

leading them to show their true colors

by giving a totally different response

are you serious about going to people's

homes and sleeping in the bag Hey sir

it's called the cops with these videos

also hinting at their next major problem

extreme materialism their Channel

achieved most of its grow through videos

spoiling their son beyond belief for

example 8 year old takes parents credit

card no budget at mall drawing a dart on

a map and buying whatever it lands on

and if you guess the price I'll buy it

for you challenge in which they spend up

to a thousand dollars on brand name

clothing for their child just so they

can make a viral video although their

fake videos and materialism are pretty

minor when compared to their sketchy

family history in March 2021 the royalty

family uploaded a video titled I am not

friend's father truth revealed in which

the dad Ali explained that he was

actually foreign's stepdad I'm not his

biological dad but I consider myself as

his dad I love him to death he's like my

son I treat him like my son at around

the same point in time Iran's biological

father came forward to state that he'd

been locked out of his son's life for

over four years which was followed by

him appearing on the dad challenge

podcast where he'd completely exposed

the family it stated the mother Andrea

was a former adult film star who fled to

the USA after getting into trouble with

a group of drug dealers in South America

after she and the biological dad moved

to the USA she canceled the biological

dad's Visa forcing him to return to

South America then began cheating on the

biological dad with Ali after the two

met in a gym the Sun for Ren has no idea

that any of this even happened as he's

completely forbidden from going on the

internet Quran is completely and utterly

never allowed on the internet Ali blocks

him from every incoming anything he's

not allowed to have a phone with the

internet on it and therefore the parents

simply tell Floren that the biological

dad is crazy although if you take this

add some scams poor financial decisions

and a severe case of bankruptcy you'll

likely end up with the ace family

similar to the royalty family the ace

family gained close to 20 million

subscribers by throwing money around in

pursuit of the perfect family image it

began with the husband Austin Purchasing

a Jeep for his wife Catherine's birthday

although within only 18 months of doing

so this had escalated into buying

Lamborghinis and flexing their mansion

throughout the process they were exposed

for renting despite having claimed they

bought the property although it'd be

when they did actually buy their own

mansion that their Channel completely

fell apart the ace family essentially

found two separate houses ripped out the

insides and combined them together

creating a 12 bedroom 13 bathroom Mega

Mansion it cost them over 10 million

dollars to buy the property in an area

where very few sold for more than 2

million made worse when it was shown

that they'd financed the entire purchase

the mcbrooms took out a hard money loan

of 8.85 million dollars from five Arch

funding Corp and another one million

dollar loan from TMK Development LLC who

I'm assuming is also a hard money lender

hard money loans are expensive loans

used by house flippers that almost

always have a one-year payback term

they're considered expensive because the

borrower typically pays multiple points

at closing and an interest rate of 10 to

12 percent on an interest-only loan to

pay off their loans Austin hosted a

boxing event called social gloves which

he estimated would make between 200 and

500 million dollars instead it sold only

136 000 pay-per-view subscriptions at

between 50 and 90 each meaning that at

an absolute maximum the event made no

more than 12 million dollars or 17 times

less than the estimated figure for this

reason Austin was unable to pay any of

the fighters made worse when he was sued

by the events organizer for a hundred

million dollars this will then accompany

11 other lawsuits relating to previous

rental properties and Catherine's makeup

line doing so much damage to their

finances they could no longer afford

their mortgage in mid-2021 it was

announced that their Mega Mansion was

going into foreclosure after which

they'd uploaded a video titled our house

story in which they'd spend over an hour

blaming the developer for building the

house incorrectly yet before stating

this and we're probably gonna get like

five more houses in the next 10 years

like what we're going to invest we're

gonna get more homes and more homes and

more homes however the ace family have

made no such comeback as things have

only gotten worse when we covered the

ace family back in November 2021 their

channel was still doing 10 million views

per month however this number has since

dropped to less than 2 million as a

result of an almost non-existent upload

schedule the ace family tried to redeem

themselves by hosting a festival called

acefest which attendees called

underwhelming before that announced a

car giveaway which was then debunked as

a scam by a tozi in this video the

current state of the ace family is best

summarized by the dislike ratio on their

most recent video where although even

then they still look perfect in

comparison to daddy05. the family began

on YouTube by playing fairly innocent

pranks on each other however as time

progressed the parents seemed to realize

that the more extreme the prank the more

views they'd get with this in mind the

parents begin to fish for increasingly

severe reactions get her as mad as she

could possibly get her I'll end it but

let's see how mad you can get well

realizing that not every kid in the

family was worth pranking equally Emma

cannot be pranked when we do prank her

she has like no reaction to it well they

couldn't get a reaction out of Emma Cody

was the exact opposite and would always

give a highly emotional response in

every single video for this reason he

was heavily picked on by the parents

which would pick with a now Infamous

video titled the invisible ink prank

where the parents basically accuse Cody

of something he didn't do then yell at

him until he's crying in the corner with

comments such as these people are just

sick and evil nothing but a bunch of

sadists they severely traumatized the

children I'm so scared for all those

kids it's no surprise that the parents

then tried to convince the audience that

the prank had been set up I don't care

anymore videos are fake they're fake

they're over exaggerated some videos are

scripted some videos I mean they're just

played out however just a few days prior

the parents had said something different

to keemstar are these videos 100 real

the videos we're not fake but some

things are a little exaggerated after

which the family removed every single

video from their Channel excluding a

formal apology in a desperate bid to win

back Their audience this has been the

absolute worst week of our life and we

realized that we have made some terrible

parenting decisions but with comment

after comment along the lines of worst

week of our life yeah you gave them

damage for their whole lives you're

disgusting it's same their viewers were

done watching and the audience wasn't

the only thing that the family was set

to lose Cody and his 11 year old sister

Emma were both removed from the home and

at least temporarily placed with her

biological mother Rose Hall Emma and

Cody are with me I have emergency

custody as mentioned Cody and Emma were

both taken and returned to their

biological mother after which an article

was posted reading controversial daddy

05 YouTubers sentenced to probation for

prank videos with their kids it

explained that each of their parents had

been charged with two counts of

neglecting a minor after which YouTube

made the choice to permanently delete

daddyofive's channel with no rules to go

the family began posting videos to their

own website behind a five dollar paywall

although they'd soon discontinue the

practice with the message in order to

move on with the healing process from

the 2017 events we have agreed willingly

to remove our videos from even this site

for the sake and well-being of our

family Mike and I feel it is best that

we take a long break from the public

Spotlight the return to YouTube in 2019

with a new channel called The Martin

family although with an average dislike

ratio of around 75 percent it seems

their social media future is As Dead As

Fried Chicken even then daddyo5 is lucky

to have a life outside of prison as the

eight passengers Family Channel recently

landed its founder Behind Bars eight

passengers was created by Ruby and Kevin

Frankie back in early 2015 where they

began to share videos of their unique

Life as a Mormon family of eight that

post videos doing everything from Sports

to parties however the audience quickly

noticed that whenever the kids did

anything wrong the parents always gave

an unreasonable level of punishment for

example when her six-year-old daughter

failed to make her own lunch before

school the mother punished the daughter

by refusing to bring her food despite

being asked by the teacher I responded

and just said Eve is responsible for

making her lunches in the morning so the

natural outcome is she's just going to

need to be hungry hopefully nobody gives

her food and nobody steps in and gives

her a lunch later stating in a different

video my kids are literally starving I

hesitate to say this because this is

gonna sound like I'm a mean Barbarian

but I told the kids I said I'm not even

gonna let you eat breakfast until you

get your chores done when these

punishments fail to achieve the parents

desired outcome that up the ante by

refusing presence to their two youngest

kids on Christmas this year they are not

going to be visited by Santa Christmas

morning they're for older siblings will

be getting Christmas presents to open

and that they will have the gift of love

from their dad and I because we want

them to really have a visceral

experience that hits them which was in

addition to their oldest son sleeping on

a bean bag for seven months as

punishment for playing one single prank

my bedroom was taken away for seven

months and then you give it back like a

couple weeks ago think our viewers know

that noticing a pattern of overly strict

parenting at change.org petition was

launched reading get eight passengers

Ruby Frankie under investigation for

child abuse after which multiple videos

were published documenting the family's

controversial history as a result their

viewership evaporated by over 90 percent

and by 2023 the channel was struggling

to gain a million views per month Ruby

had also grown tired of being criticized

by the public making the choice to

permanently delete the channel on the

2nd of August 2023 however this wouldn't

be the end of the eight passengers Saga

the oldest daughter Cherie had always

been outspoken about her family's

parenting style and would post this

image to her Instagram story showing

police and the caption finally only four

weeks after the channel was deleted it

was then revealed that the mother had

been arrested for aggravated child abuse

after the 12 year old son had been found

emaciated and malnourished with open

wounds and duct tape around the

extremities the condition of the

juvenile was so severe that they were

seen by Santa Clara Ivan's EMS and

transported to a local area Hospital

Ruby Frankie is currently being held in

jail awaiting trial
