We need more fathers and husbands like this man. Thank you for allowing us to meet your family. I’m so sorry there are people who have abused that. I support your decision 100%. All the best!!!

    Matt, I’m one of your older viewers, and by that I mean I’m old. I am your dad’s age. The years in which your dad and I were raised were simple, and you didn’t really have to worry about your neighbors or people for that matter. But my grandkids, a couple of them in their late teens and early twenties, who have social media pages, have had problems with psychos stalking them. But you being as big a media presence, I can only imagine the hell you and your family have been through. When you bought the abandoned mansion I thought that was a smart move, on a hilltop and all. The main thing is your number one concern is your family, and your family you protect with your life. God’s blessings to you all.

    It truly is sad and pathetic that those 1 in a 1000 can't behave like a normal person with normal etiquette and proper manners. Absolutely no respect. The first thing they do is disregard you privacy, therefore IMO they all have bad or nefarious things on their mind. No regular normal person trespasses and jumps your gate for a 'job'

    Sad to see her and her dream go, but completely reasonable to see your family safe. I've ordered Linc Active for family members in the past and they love it. Much love for your family.

    Wishing you guys the best. There is a reason why we really should not be envious of anyone with a serious degree of celebrity. It's a different journey, but still full of crazy life things to deal with.

    I don’t watch your channel much anymore just because I now have a family myself 😂 I’m very happy that your business and channel is still going strong. Much respect for doing what’s best for your wife and your family ❤

    There are folks out there that really have no understanding of personal boundaries. As a husband and father, I completely understand the desire to make sure your family feels safe and secure in whatever you do. Your priorities are in the right place.

    The moment I noticed the family not in the vlogs as much I knew. Unfortunately the internet is a thing and some people on it are absolute creeps. You made the right choice!

    Matt, you have a great show and family. You are one of the only channels I allow my kids to watch.. I wanted to thank you for helping me explain to my kids why I won't let them post any videos.

    I remember in one video Lincoln was asleep on your chest and the smile you had was such a nice short clip. Too bad things like that won't be shared anymore but I understand. I wish there was a way to protect folks such as yourself. I wish you and your family nothing but the best. Take care Matt and family. ;o)

    Huge respect for how you are responding to this situation. Can not imagine having to deal with this kind of situation. Sad to see link active go but keeping the family first is definitely most important.

    Matt you have to do what is best for the family, and if that means we don’t see them, that is fine. As long as you all are safe and happy, that’s all that matters. Sending love and bear hugs to you all.

    I hope you and the family find peace again. For all of the laughs and joy that you have brought, its sad that you cannot enjoy the same in return. Its sad for you and its sad for the community as a whole. Stay safe guys.

      Exactly! So many people don't understand why this is happening and are making light of these experiences.

    I'm in Australia and have been watching you, and all your different RUclips channels, from pretty much the beginning. Seeing what you've accomplished over the years is mind blowing. Totally understandable for Mere doing what she needs to do to feel safe, nobody should have to deal with people like that.

    Very smart choice!!!!!! Always wondered about showing SOOOO much of the family.... Always liked the channel and will continue to like it. Family first!

    This dude is my childhood. I remember me and my dad just binge watching your videos and you’ve even got me to drink big red and loves gun because as a kid I looked up to you and found you so cool. I’ve also always wanted to be a veterinarian and younger me watching those vet videos of you helping animals in need made you a much bigger inspiration to me. I hate to see fans and people just blatantly harassing you. I say give Demolition Ranch a break. I hope everything all goes well. I’ll always watch your videos Matt!

    Matt, I agree 💯 percent with your plans. After reading RUclips comments on various channels, it's terrifying how many truly dangerous, really mentally disturbed people are out there.
    Yes, protect your family 🙏
