Reborn Baby Doll Friends " The Elite collectors are leaving youtube" why do you think? my thoughts

[@betterthinktwice9944]

Love her princess ensemble!!! Enjoyed this video. I remember when I first tuned in to this hobby there was so much to learn! The channels I stumbled on were "elite", absolutely. I was in awe & impressed w their knowledge & dolls & stuff, & I was loyal/supportive to them for years. I never knew what a lot of the dramas were about & that was fine w me. Eventually, note was taken by them if I said anything positive on a channel they disliked, which led to me being blocked by them. So, the drama finally touched me, but that in itself was so silly to me that I thought good riddance. Now w this replica market, (which at first I was against), a new-to-me group of content creators have gotten my attn & it's really great! It's like starting over again. Imo, today, compared to the past, is a much better starting place for anyone interested in this hobby! For not a lot of money u can find out what u like in a doll, in a sculpt, etc.

When I first came into the community, I very much enjoyed everyone’s channel, I loved the diversity that was to be found and I like all the different ways and styles that people collected. I only got turned off, because some collectors turned out to have a really mean spirit about them. And some of them were very rude and arrogant, So I stopped following. Outside of that I pretty much watched all who I wanted to watch. And it’s the same for me today, 💕💕 arrivederci to anyone that wants to leave or has already left 😊👋🏾

She’s adorable. I can’t and never will be able to buy high priced dolls, my life just doesn’t allow for it. So I’d rather buy my replicas and enjoy my hobby and to hell with the elite collectors. 😊

[@katherinehealy6534]

I saw that the “garbage” lady has a new video out today, although I don’t intend to watch it. Maybe she’s announcing her departure. Who knows. And who cares. I think the elite collectors can’t stand the fact that people dare to collect replicas, so they’re picking up their marbles and going home. I know of a KZbinr who left because of the “travesty” of replicas, but has apparently made peace with it because she’s making videos again. I’m not really into all the high end stuff either. Most of what I have for my dolls is either left over from when my grandkids were babies (a few things even from my kids), or it has come from thrift stores, consignment stores, Temu, AliExpress or Walmart. My “nursery” is a room in the basement that is not very organized, and also houses a desk, a printer, and some other miscellaneous non doll related items. But it looks like the tables have finally turned. People who collect replicas used to be bullied and intimidated out of the hobby, and now since the replica collectors are standing their ground and not taking it anymore, the elitists are leaving because they think the hobby is “tainted.” It’s too bad they can’t just live and let live, do their thing, and let us do ours. Esme is an adorable little princess!

Live and let live! I’m just happy they don’t own KZbin. 😂😂

[@lisaisaacs1016]

Hello from Maryland, you have been one of my go-to KZbinrs as far as what babies to try to get on a budget. I have three grown children and I raised two grandchildren till they were I'm going to be 20 and 22 in December and I read three more from the ages to twins that were two and their brother that was seven till the twins turned 10 and he was 14 almost 15 everyone moved out on their own the three month with their dad which is my son. That's 22-year-old grandson stayed with name a husband The 20-year-old granddaughter moved out with her boyfriend so I'm kind of an empty nester sort of. So I started deciding if I was going to collect reborns because I used to collect porcelain dolls. But I refuse to spend ridiculous amount of money that I just don't have and I have watched another KZbinr for 10 years and I always said I wanted a reborn but there's so many scans and fakes out there it's so sad. So I got my first one from Etsy and he was very cute. I've gotten a pickle and four or five more but I don't have hardly any I have some clues not many at all so I'm off to a slow start.

Esme looks so gorgeous in her princess outfit. I don't have any costumes per se, but I do have a tutu, so maybe I will put it on one of my dolls. I agree with you about elite or high-end stuff. I don't in any way bregrudge these people, and I'm not consumed with envy. I just find them unrelatable and their possessions unobtainable.

[@ShelleyClott]

Hi Julie, Esme looks so beautiful in her Halloween costume. Things sure have changed for the better in the dolly community, and I am so glad. It’s just less stressful now, and that’s a real blessing. I can’t wait to see everyone’s babies in the group all dressed up in their Halloween costumes. Be well & take care.

[@judygrenier7977]

Hi Julie! As I was writing, it disappeared! Maybe you’ll see it somewhere. Anyway, I was saying that I am so excited to have gotten my first Pickle baby today! I have spent the afternoon just rummaging through my closets to find things to fit her and have had a blast! I am so happy doing this and not thinking “high end” which was never me! And I just thank you for being you! xx😊

[@carolynpratty3584]

Hi Julie personally I would rather be in a doll community I can relate to its all very well having expensive doll in expensive nurseries with expensive items and clothes but it's not normal living having the latest high end gadget I have watched one of these channels and not enjoyed them because it doesn't relate to ordinary people who just want to enjoy this hobby that's just my opinion I have both authentic and replica and just enjoy them lots of love and hugs and from xxxx ❤ esme looks adorable xxxx❤

[@LuvsToTravel2769]

Hi Julie. Esme looks beautiful in that outfit. I would love to go thrift shopping with you.we would have so much fun. I get do excited when I find stuff. I am a thrifty, discount shopping person . I enter contests and have won many things over the yrs. Have a food day ❤

[@LuvsToTravel2769]

[@kittyannneves2828]

Aww Esma looks so cute ! Kelli girl is now reconsidering leaving the doll community any way don’t get me wrong I love to buy a lot of cute things for my babies but nothing like some of these content creators. I stick with Carters , Walmart , Target, and Marie Nicole’s Clothing online .

[@MaryPoppinsNursery]

Hi Julie! 😊 I am with you that the doll community is finally feeling more all inclusive. Everyone can collect as they please! That is the way a hobby should be! 😊 I am not a big spender on exclusive dolls or clothes. I have many replicas and I buy clothes on sale @ Walmart, Amazon, and JC Penneys even. ❤ Esme looks stunning in her princess outfit, a true little princess! ❤ Much love and hugs! ❤❤❤

And everybody knows I’ve been bullied by at least three YTers (one of them calling the cops to our door Dec 24,2019 on false pretences (she told the cops that I was going to off myself. That was 100% false and it was Xmas Eve. Why would I off myself on Xmas eve))

Honestly Honey I just CAN NOT justify spending that kind of money on a hobby, even with having a channel. Your lifestyle is very much like mine. My family lives here on our property and we have goats, chickens, ducks and a very opinionated goose, as well as dogs and cats lol. And I feel very much the same way you do about life and the hobby in general. Esme looks ADORABLE !!!
