Love love love what you have to say. We have all been guilty of this form time to time but I’m excited for the future of RUclips and a more positive community. Thanks for sharing this Bonnie! -Missy and Bryan
Exactly Cathy - these have children to clothe and feed - to just pull the channel so they go from an income to 0 is like Bonnie says similar to being fired! Surely YT should have given them a warning before just cutting them off
Daily Bumps Yes after some of the horrible channels that have been on RUclips I'm so happy they are protecting children, both the children being exploited and children watching. ❤️
I’m actually really glad about stopping the thumbnails and content etc that could embarrass the kids or suggest danger or pain etc. I have to be honest, I noticed it and it stopped me watching a few times. I really love your channel and Bonnie I think you’re a lovely person and you absolutely adore your kids. That’s obvious! I think you’re right when you say ‘thought that’s just what creators do to get views’ and you guys just lost your way a little bit. But your intentions were always good. I respect you for working with RUclips to find a solution and holding your hands up and saying you’ll do better. Thanks for the update!
I think the Daddy O Five abuse caused RUclips to do this, I 100% support why they did that, but I watch your videos every day no matter the thumbnail and title are
Ally Rose idk. RUclips didnt blink when that happened. That was awful. It seems like that was a long time ago tho that,that happened. I hope those people are in jail
I really admire your response to this. I know it was never, ever your intent to exploit your children but you also can see where you tube is coming from and understand it. I wish your channel the best & hope this will bring good change for all!
Your honesty and straightforwardness is what makes you guys so awesome! I pray this all works out for the good of everyone in this situation! We love you guys so much! ❤️
I had a feeling that it was a few of your videos that caused the demonetization. I understood your intent which was to show what motherhood is really like, as well as getting more attention drawn to your channel. But unfortunately, others would (and have) see that as exploiting your children. I’m glad you are taking this to heart and growing from it. I truly hope this all get resolved soon. Much love! ❤️❤️
I knew exactly why the channel was demonetized immediately. The video where Olivia is punished for biting her nails always bothered me. Not because you punished her for biting her nails, but because you showed her so upset on your video and thumbnail. There are a handful of videos like this on the channel. Does it mean you are bad people? No. does it mean that something needs changed, yes.
Lionel Jones but why do we need to see it? that's between Bonnie, Joel and Olivia. It doesn't benefit any of us to see it and it humiliates Olivia. I live in a small Utah town like the Hoelliens I can guarantee kids at school watch the vlogs and have no problem teasing those kids especially after Olivia cried about it, as a parent why would you put your child in that situation?because it made them a few dollars that's why
I love Bonnie's channel, but I think it's really good that RUclips is doing this. Some of the videos get uncomfortable with how the children are used to create content. I think videos like... when Olivia cries getting her ears pierced, Cody get sent to the principal's office, or even her sister's video where she takes her kids underwear shopping and film the young girl embarrassed to get her first bra (really felt bad for her that her mom would put that up on the internet), etc. The kids are not old enough to understand the repercussions and therefore agree to being represented online for basically the rest of their lives. I know that Bonnie has never intended for this to be exploitative, but I like that she can see how it could be. She handled this professionally and I have confidence in her more than anyone that she will be able to better follow guidelines. In the end, this is a step forward for children's rights. Kids are not mature enough to provide consent.
I thought that was why it was demonetized. One of the videos had a thumbnail about pooping pants and my first thought was I don’t want to see a kid in that situation. After watching the video I realized it wasn’t what I originally thought at all. I am glad they are changing it up and you figured it out. Cause really that video was great and wasn’t bad! Love your videos!
It's good RUclips did that sweep and are cleaning up. I understand their reasoning but I also think you should've gotten a warning or even just the information why and what the ground rules are. They could've easily send a standard email with the changed rules in them, certainly for channels like yours and other family channels. I'm glad everything is more clear now and you know how you can change everything. I love you guys and I really hope you can continue doing your thing here because I would hate to see you go! I said this before after one of E+J vids but I feel so privileged to get this view into your lives. I admire you guys and I feel for and with you. Thank you for everything and I hope to keep saying this! I do wonder if I'm being too sappy right now but oh, well... It's how I feel. Love from the Netherlands...
RUclips should have contacted you first. Instead of just doing what they did. Had they contacted and explained what they saw/felt it could have been worked out better
vlogging peacock Agree, i think an email saying your "Channel is under review" could have atleast given them some prior warning instead of just waking up to a demoneztied channel.
Rebecca Wahl seriously... i know hundreds of people that do this with their kids.. me and hubby play that with our 2 girls often. We arent throwing them over infested crocodile water to each other. Stop wrapping your kids in bubble wrap.
Rebecca Wahl oh boohoo, they were playing with their child.... they weren't throwing him him across the room with spikes on the floor! they were maybe a foot away from each other!
Bonnie I can’t live without your videos! I’ve been checking your Instagram and RUclips constantly for the past few days to see the updates. I’m glad you are getting answers.
Sofsie Sam is always embarassing his kids and laughing at them like a bully. Now, idk what DailyBumps does that is terrible but I agree that SamAndNia need to be looked at too
Ashley Roque oh right thanks for explaining :), I haven't really watched Sam and Nia and not much of the daily bumps so just wondered what they were doing.
So happy youtube is finally doing this. Too many channels get away with exploiting their children even if they "don't realize" that's what they are doing. It really needs to stop.
Seems a little weird when there are other channels that do far worse things and they haven’t been canned. I hope everything gets figured out and we can all go back to watching great videos.
Bravo!!!! I agree with what youtube is doing! Children need to be protected and some potty training videos expose way too much. Talking about is one thing and showing them is just wrong. Just from some of the videos I’ve seen from youtubers.
I agree with RUclips I think some of your videos that show your children being punished shouldn’t be on RUclips because that’s something that you should be keeping private and also do you ever wonder if your children will be bullied in real life for these kind of videos? As that is something that could be your reality and that would be devastating. Does this change the way you view RUclips as your only income? I do like your channel and your family and hope all is sorted out but everything happens for a reason...good luck mate 👍
Thank you so much for your transparency and honesty Bonnie. We have a family channel too and I have been feeling very uncertain about the direction of our channel. Thank you so much for sharing this with us all ❤️
Thank you for the update. From what I have heard, I know that that are many, many vloggers that should be de-mointised. And it should be permanent. No, if's and or buts about it!
Jim N Linz Vlogs ya what ever happened to that one family vlog channel where the people played pranks on their son and it was clearly abuse? RUclips didnt blink then.... so sad they go after the wholesome ones
Interesting....glad you are getting answers! While I don’t fully agree with what RUclips is saying about your channel sometimes you just have to accept it and move on. Glad to hear things are getting solved! Love you guys and your family
I sure hope that they get everything taken care of!! I watch you guys all the time. Your so down to earth and remind me of me when I was young. Love you all hope to see a lot more of you soon.
This video makes me feel better about your future. I'm sure you had a really stressful time. I'm glad you got some answers and hopefully everything will all work out. I really love watching your little family and I love the good values that you exhibit. My children are already grown but many young families need good role models like you.
So happy you got your channel all settled. This is also a good video for those thinking of starting to family vlog and definitely watch those guidelines when creating . Thanks Bonnie!
I'm so glad you're finally getting answers! & although it sucks that you're going through this, it makes me happy that RUclips is looking out for the children in family channels. That's nice to hear!
I'm gonna be honest, I kind of agree with youtube but I absolutely love how you discussed this in such a polite manner. Since children technically do not have a choice to be featured in this, I think that photos that are embarrassing (or could be in the future) should not be featured on the internet so publicly.
I love how open and transparent Bonnie is about this whole situation. She kept her viewers up to date as things progressed and she admitted that there were issues that YT had with her channel. And of course I love how humble and down to earth both Bonnie and Joel are. Such a sweet family. Really hope they get their channel back up and running soon.
I’ve have been praying for your family and for your channel, I’m so happy to see a video today, you made my day!!! Thank you!!! Your family is very special, God Bless You all❤️
You have been in my thoughts and prayers all weekend. You are my favorite family on youtube and I was so happy to see this today. Love the song playing in the background. Love you all so much xoxo
Love the way you put it. Im glad they contacted you and were nice about it. Im glad they told you why you are demonetized for right now and hopefully they told you how to fix it so you can start up again. Iv loved watching your family grow up and i look forward to seeing many more years of you and your family growing, learning and just loving like you all do everyday.
I think your attitude is a testament to your character, Bonnie. You are a wonderful mother, wife & person. It's tough to be corrected on something like this & have to step outside your own perspective! I'm so glad you were able to talk to a real person & get answers. It would great of you could clarify if they gave you hope to being re monetized. I pray that everything is fixed & you're back to earning your income quickly. I also pray that you're able to make the necessary changes without losing your authenticity & who you are. It must be hard to draw those lines. My heart & prayers continue to be with you guys. Hang in there
So glad you got some answers!! I love how you are sharing each detail with us and not just saying things are happening that you can’t talk about. One of the reasons I love your channel 😊❤️
Great! Glad that you now have a definite answer as to what happened and why. Be glad. To see you back to the new normal. Love what you're doing. Thanks.
So glad to see an ad back on your videos! This is really the one of the family channels i still watch because it feels like the vlogs are about you and Joel and your life which at this moment includes your young children, and not the adults as videographers and editors of a storyline that is about the children. Keep up the great work!
Bonnie and Joelie..I truly love you guys! It is horrible that these things are happening at a very sensitive time of year, no less. Not to mention how very level headed you two are is great also. You realize why RUclips is doing what they are doing, and you realize that changing things around might help you two in a place where you won't have to quit doing what you all love! Stay strong...#HoelleinStrong
Been checking your insta and Twitter since the situation has started. Thank you for updating us, and letting family youtubers know what to do to keep in good standing with RUclips!
My heart has been breaking thinking about what has been going on for you guys and I'm so glad there is a line of communication open now and you have answers! praying it's all resolved ASAP!
I love that Bonnie and Joel explained what was going on with RUclips as others RUclipsrs do not, I understand that it is very stressful and personal, but I love so much that u guys talked about it and u truly talked about it and made sure we as your viewers understand your situation, so special!!!! Thank u!!!! I love watching u guys, your kiddos make me laugh when I am down and they bring me back up to my normal self!!!! I am so blessed to have been changed for the good by you guys and I am so grateful and thankful that i have the opportunity to watch u guys and learn so much more than I will ever from u guys, I love u, and thank u!!!!
I'm proud of you, Bonnie. You show humility, dignity, positivity, and perseverance. You are exhibiting great character in your reaction and I am even more impressed with you because of it. Good luck to y'all and thank you for sharing!
Thank you Bonnie for your honesty throughout this stressful time for you and your family. I'm so glad that we can all understand why it happened and now are empowered with the knowledge to make your vlogs even more beautiful ❤
The thumbnails and the titles are the problem? How kind of them to explain it (might have been better if they had done it before demonetizing you). It's curious that this happened to your channel and not to Ruby's, she does that way more than you do.
It isn’t just Bonnie other channels are under scrutiny as well. Ruby always turns the camera off when she needs to do serious discipline. Though there are plenty of her blogs that are questionable. The new You Tube wants creators to be mindful of their audience, which some channels have mostly children watching. Most of all they don’t want to see videos where children are camera shamed, or treated in an abusive way. It is a great move for You Tube.
Thank you for being so honest and explaining the situation, I think RUclips is doing the right thing and hopefully this just implies a better content regarding family channels. Keep up the good work and so much love to your family.
Bonnie and Joel, you are loved and you are deeply admired by so many people! I’m so glad that you are getting answers and resolution. I hope that your siblings are able to go through their videos in time and not get demonetized too. RUclips’s “better safe than sorry” approach really says a lot about how much they respect children and I appreciate that.
I am soooo happy that you got feedback from RUclips. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this difficult situation. I hope all will be resolved soon. Thanks for also sharing so many fun moments. Lincoln is talking so well and saying such intelligent and cute things. Cody's adorable artwork and facial expressions are going to be fun to show Cody's children in years to come. Your joy and wisdom touch the lives of viewers of all ages. We are truly blessed to get to watch your vlogs. And Joel is wonderful too.
This is a positive step, however, as a fellow Mom of four, sometimes parenting is rough. If no one is allowed to show real parenting, I feel like it's just going to be this picture of perfection and cause false guilt for new parents. Are you moving towards remonitization?
I think people assuming their life is perfect is better than showing them disciplining them. That’s wrong. So I’m glad RUclips is moving forward with this to protect kids
I love how humbly you are accepting of what RUclips had to say. Although I don’t agree with what they said, I adore your family even more for how you’ve handled the situation. I love and admire the way you treat and speak to your children. But I guess this is life.. so glad to see your video up today! Sending love and prayers :)
I think this is great how reasonable you are and how you have handled it and I am so glad that you got this thing worked out! Lots of love to your amazing family ♥
I love your family and I hope they get all this straightened out for you guys. I, personally, have grown used to watching you guys. It's as though we are family. I would hate to think that we all have to lose something we all love because of a few small things. Prayers that this will be over soon. Keep those chins up and keep it moving :)
Glad to know you have some answers and this will help you with a clear direction on how to correct issues, and ways to continue to improve. Stay positive!
Why do I laugh out loud when I watch y’all? Cause y’all are fun! Boston gets so worked up over whatever, Cody’s stories go on and on, Olivia has just the right amount of sass and Lincoln is just sweet! 😂❤️
Oh my gosh, I love your family!! You guys are both amazing parents, role models and youtubers! I am thankful that I've been able to see your family and channel grow! Keep doing what you do!❤❤
In the best way to say it, I’m glad they did that to you guys, and the others they have. I’m not sure why anyone would exploit their children to fill their pocket book. Hopefully it was a lesson learn and you guys get a second chance. Viewers have been saying this to RUclipsrs for years and only to have y’all call us haters lol. It will be interesting to see the changes in RUclipsrs now that the boss is on the viewers and children’s side
I am so happy that you guys are able to continue with your vlogs. Bonnie you make my day sometimes. I can be feeling sorry for myself and watch your video and then just have a whole new perspective on life. Love you guys.
I understand the answers of RUclips. And so nice of them to contact you personally. Like you said for the future this is going to be good! Lots of hugs
I’m so glad you got the answers you were looking for! Onwards and upwards from here on end. Love your videos and let’s hope RUclips keep you on here for our viewing pleasure.
The nail biting video and ear piercing videos you posted were embarrassing and humiliating for olivia. That is probably what they didn't want to see...
I am so glad that you have been in contact with someone and you are working things out. Such a sad world that we have to deal with thing things like people exploiting children! I hope things are sorted out for you very quickly!
Love love love what you have to say. We have all been guilty of this form time to time but I’m excited for the future of RUclips and a more positive community. Thanks for sharing this Bonnie! -Missy and Bryan
Daily Bumps Well said and you are the best youTube family especially Bonnie
I love u and you all should be the number one awsome famliy
it would it not have been better for YT to reach out to the Chanel’s before they did what they did!!!
Exactly Cathy - these have children to clothe and feed - to just pull the channel so they go from an income to 0 is like Bonnie says similar to being fired! Surely YT should have given them a warning before just cutting them off
Daily Bumps Yes after some of the horrible channels that have been on RUclips I'm so happy they are protecting children, both the children being exploited and children watching. ❤️
I’m actually really glad about stopping the thumbnails and content etc that could embarrass the kids or suggest danger or pain etc. I have to be honest, I noticed it and it stopped me watching a few times.

I respect you for working with RUclips to find a solution and holding your hands up and saying you’ll do better. Thanks for the update!
Well said.
Have to say i love how you have been handling this and talking about it. So much respect for you Bonnie ❤️
minttu I agree 1000%. Bonnie is a class act.
I think the Daddy O Five abuse caused RUclips to do this, I 100% support why they did that, but I watch your videos every day no matter the thumbnail and title are
Ally Rose idk. RUclips didnt blink when that happened. That was awful. It seems like that was a long time ago tho that,that happened. I hope those people are in jail
Ally Rose there was another youtuber accused of abuse recently too
Suz Eee nope they made a new RUclips with the kids they got to keep
I agree
His videos of him abusing are still up, crazy.. Poor little kids
I really admire your response to this. I know it was never, ever your intent to exploit your children but you also can see where you tube is coming from and understand it. I wish your channel the best & hope this will bring good change for all!
I have been praying so much for your family. We absolutely support you and will do all we can to get you back!
Been thinking SO MUCH about your family!❤❤ Wow...exploiting the kids. RUclips is not playing around! So glad you got some answers!!!💖
We loved how you said regardless of being demonitized (in your previous video) that you would still post videos!
PHILLIPS FamBam you’re another one of my favorites- love your stuff!!!
I've been thinking about you constantly!!
Thank you so much for updating us!
I love your channel
Your honesty and straightforwardness is what makes you guys so awesome! I pray this all works out for the good of everyone in this situation! We love you guys so much! ❤️

Thank you so much for this video! It will really help so many people.
I knew exactly why the channel was demonetized immediately. The video where Olivia is punished for biting her nails always bothered me. Not because you punished her for biting her nails, but because you showed her so upset on your video and thumbnail. There are a handful of videos like this on the channel. Does it mean you are bad people? No. does it mean that something needs changed, yes.
omyjustice agree! And other videos of her discipline her kids r not great either!!
Lionel Jones no one said not to discipline the children. They said that the public doesn't need to witness the child's embarrassment and shame.
It's a private matter and the CHILDREN should NOT be exploited and humiliated in front of the world..come on, really?
yes the piercing video with Olivia made me uncomfortable when I watched it
Lionel Jones but why do we need to see it? that's between Bonnie, Joel and Olivia. It doesn't benefit any of us to see it and it humiliates Olivia. I live in a small Utah town like the Hoelliens I can guarantee kids at school watch the vlogs and have no problem teasing those kids especially after Olivia cried about it, as a parent why would you put your child in that situation?because it made them a few dollars that's why
Joel, I seriously love all the sound affects you edit into the vlogs! Like the noise when Boston was wiggling his eyebrows was hilarious!
I love Bonnie's channel, but I think it's really good that RUclips is doing this. Some of the videos get uncomfortable with how the children are used to create content. I think videos like... when Olivia cries getting her ears pierced, Cody get sent to the principal's office, or even her sister's video where she takes her kids underwear shopping and film the young girl embarrassed to get her first bra (really felt bad for her that her mom would put that up on the internet), etc. The kids are not old enough to understand the repercussions and therefore agree to being represented online for basically the rest of their lives.

She handled this professionally and I have confidence in her more than anyone that she will be able to better follow guidelines. In the end, this is a step forward for children's rights. Kids are not mature enough to provide consent.
I certainly hope that you guys can get whatever they need corrected so you can be re monetised. Sending prayers and love.
definitely agree!
Earls Family Vlogs OMG YOU WATCH BONNIE? I follow both of youuuuuu
Wishing you the best of luck ! Youll be fine !
I thought that was why it was demonetized. One of the videos had a thumbnail about pooping pants and my first thought was I don’t want to see a kid in that situation. After watching the video I realized it wasn’t what I originally thought at all. I am glad they are changing it up and you figured it out. Cause really that video was great and wasn’t bad! Love your videos!
Also the one with Olivia cutting her finger and all the blood
I didn’t watch it because of the thumbnail. That’s good to know.
So glad you got some answers and were not left in the dark! Hope the problem is fixed quickly!
It's good RUclips did that sweep and are cleaning up. I understand their reasoning but I also think you should've gotten a warning or even just the information why and what the ground rules are. They could've easily send a standard email with the changed rules in them, certainly for channels like yours and other family channels. I'm glad everything is more clear now and you know how you can change everything. I love you guys and I really hope you can continue doing your thing here because I would hate to see you go! I said this before after one of E+J vids but I feel so privileged to get this view into your lives. I admire you guys and I feel for and with you. Thank you for everything and I hope to keep saying this! I do wonder if I'm being too sappy right now but oh, well... It's how I feel.
Love from the Netherlands...
They received a letter stating new rules. They didn’t think it applied to them.
RUclips should have contacted you first. Instead of just doing what they did. Had they contacted and explained what they saw/felt it could have been worked out better
vlogging peacock Agree, i think an email saying your "Channel is under review" could have atleast given them some prior warning instead of just waking up to a demoneztied channel.
Yes and no...an email would be nice but they're looking out for the kids and I can appreciate that.
When Lincoln was a baby Bonnie and Joel were throwing jim in tbe air back an forth to each other. I couldnt believe my eyes.
Rebecca Wahl seriously... i know hundreds of people that do this with their kids.. me and hubby play that with our 2 girls often. We arent throwing them over infested crocodile water to each other. Stop wrapping your kids in bubble wrap.
Rebecca Wahl oh boohoo, they were playing with their child.... they weren't throwing him him across the room with spikes on the floor! they were maybe a foot away from each other!
P.S Sam and Nia shouldn’t have a channel for the things the say and do
K Neal I agree completely.
I don’t like them at all but what is an example of the stuff they say?
Couldn’t agree more! I used to like them, but I unsubscribed a few months ago when things started getting worse.
What happened? I haven’t watched them in a while
K Neal I agree. I don't watch there channel but I know who u are talking about.
Bonnie I can’t live without your videos! I’ve been checking your Instagram and RUclips constantly for the past few days to see the updates. I’m glad you are getting answers.
How the heck is Sam and Nia still up!? They exploit their children every day!
scottsdaleswimmer seen these channels come up a few times, what have they done?
Sofsie Sam is always embarassing his kids and laughing at them like a bully. Now, idk what DailyBumps does that is terrible but I agree that SamAndNia need to be looked at too
Ashley Roque oh right thanks for explaining :), I haven't really watched Sam and Nia and not much of the daily bumps so just wondered what they were doing.
scottsdaleswimmer I’ve never heard of them but make sure you flag videos if you see anything like that going on.
And same with the sacconejolys. They're way way way worse than this channel.
So happy youtube is finally doing this. Too many channels get away with exploiting their children even if they "don't realize" that's what they are doing. It really needs to stop.
Never felt any of those things youtoube said. I fully support your channel. You guys are a fantastic family!
Cullen better watch out.
Nancy Reichenbach 200% Agree !
So helpful, thank you Bonnie. Glad you got to talk. And thank you for sharing.
Seems a little weird when there are other channels that do far worse things and they haven’t been canned. I hope everything gets figured out and we can all go back to watching great videos.
jessica williams don't worry, RUclips is checking everyone's channels
Bravo!!!! I agree with what youtube is doing! Children need to be protected and some potty training videos expose way too much. Talking about is one thing and showing them is just wrong. Just from some of the videos I’ve seen from youtubers.
Agreed, or these videos where it’s “paw patrol” and it is TERRIBLE!!!
I agree with RUclips I think some of your videos that show your children being punished shouldn’t be on RUclips because that’s something that you should be keeping private and also do you ever wonder if your children will be bullied in real life for these kind of videos? As that is something that could be your reality and that would be devastating.
Does this change the way you view RUclips as your only income?
I do like your channel and your family and hope all is sorted out but everything happens for a reason...good luck mate 👍
Been waiting to see what’s going on. Been thinking about you all! ❤️
Never clicked so fast 😱
So helpful!!! Thank you! Did they add monetization back to your channel?
Ah I feel like such a stalker. I’ve been waiting for this all morning. Love you Bonnie. You’re in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you so much for your transparency and honesty Bonnie. We have a family channel too and I have been feeling very uncertain about the direction of our channel. Thank you so much for sharing this with us all ❤️
Thank you for the update. From what I have heard, I know that that are many, many vloggers that should be de-mointised. And it should be permanent. No, if's and or buts about it!
Thanks for sharing this Bonnie!
I am just surprised you got de monitored when i can think of plenty of channels that exploit their children
Jim N Linz Vlogs ya what ever happened to that one family vlog channel where the people played pranks on their son and it was clearly abuse? RUclips didnt blink then.... so sad they go after the wholesome ones
+Suz Eee What! which channel?
+Suz Eee that is so so scary and sad. so so sad. i hope those parents are put in jail. it makes me sick.
Ella and pink Minecraft Gaming dad of five and from reading comments on here i guess theres another channel
I’ve been praying for you guys constantly!!! I pray this gets fixed and you guys can continue on with life with less stress! Love you guys!!
Interesting....glad you are getting answers! While I don’t fully agree with what RUclips is saying about your channel sometimes you just have to accept it and move on. Glad to hear things are getting solved! Love you guys and your family
I sure hope that they get everything taken care of!! I watch you guys all the time. Your so down to earth and remind me of me when I was young. Love you all hope to see a lot more of you soon.
This video makes me feel better about your future. I'm sure you had a really stressful time. I'm glad you got some answers and hopefully everything will all work out. I really love watching your little family and I love the good values that you exhibit. My children are already grown but many young families need good role models like you.
I hope they check on other channels cuz Johnson fam and slyfox always do this with their kids.
I enjoy your channel so much ❤️
So happy you got your channel all settled. This is also a good video for those thinking of starting to family vlog and definitely watch those guidelines when creating . Thanks Bonnie!
I'm so glad you're finally getting answers! & although it sucks that you're going through this, it makes me happy that RUclips is looking out for the children in family channels. That's nice to hear!
The pink velvet looks really good on you. Happy to hear you are getting answers
Love you guys and think you are handling it all so well! So glad to see you all again!
I'm gonna be honest, I kind of agree with youtube but I absolutely love how you discussed this in such a polite manner. Since children technically do not have a choice to be featured in this, I think that photos that are embarrassing (or could be in the future) should not be featured on the internet so publicly.
Where can I get a Joel? Is he available on Amazon? He is so awesome!
We will watch no matter what the thumbnail or title is!! Maybe use the date and something else. Keep it simple. Glad you got answers!!!
Her subscribers will, however in order to keep her income up she has to make the title seem somewhat interesting
Samantha Bearden right! That’s why I said “something else” haha
I love how open and transparent Bonnie is about this whole situation. She kept her viewers up to date as things progressed and she admitted that there were issues that YT had with her channel. And of course I love how humble and down to earth both Bonnie and Joel are. Such a sweet family. Really hope they get their channel back up and running soon.
I am so glad you are on your way back Bonnie love your family.
I’ve have been praying for your family and for your channel, I’m so happy to see a video today, you made my day!!! Thank you!!! Your family is very special, God Bless You all❤️
You have been in my thoughts and prayers all weekend. You are my favorite family on youtube and I was so happy to see this today. Love the song playing in the background. Love you all so much xoxo
Love the way you put it. Im glad they contacted you and were nice about it. Im glad they told you why you are demonetized for right now and hopefully they told you how to fix it so you can start up again. Iv loved watching your family grow up and i look forward to seeing many more years of you and your family growing, learning and just loving like you all do everyday.
I think your attitude is a testament to your character, Bonnie. You are a wonderful mother, wife & person. It's tough to be corrected on something like this & have to step outside your own perspective! I'm so glad you were able to talk to a real person & get answers. It would great of you could clarify if they gave you hope to being re monetized. I pray that everything is fixed & you're back to earning your income quickly. I also pray that you're able to make the necessary changes without losing your authenticity & who you are. It must be hard to draw those lines. My heart & prayers continue to be with you guys. Hang in there
So glad you got some answers!! I love how you are sharing each detail with us and not just saying things are happening that you can’t talk about. One of the reasons I love your channel 😊❤️
News sounds positive. Moving in the proper direction
Bonnie I can not express how much I appreciate your honesty and real ness in EVERY SINGLE one of your videos. Forever supporting you and your family 🙌
I’m sooo appreciative of you taking strong action on this. Not only will this info help you all, but it’s so helpful for us other creators to know.
Thanks for addressing this! I think this is a good lesson to many.
Great! Glad that you now have a definite answer as to what happened and why. Be glad. To see you back to the new normal. Love what you're doing. Thanks.
I agree with them. Don’t use your kids to get views. It makes sense. I don’t think it’s something that should have to be told to anyone.
So glad to see an ad back on your videos! This is really the one of the family channels i still watch because it feels like the vlogs are about you and Joel and your life which at this moment includes your young children, and not the adults as videographers and editors of a storyline that is about the children. Keep up the great work!
Cody's grin when Joel was pouring the water in the cup on his head was the cutest thing I've ever seen!!!
Bonnie and Joelie..I truly love you guys! It is horrible that these things are happening at a very sensitive time of year, no less. Not to mention how very level headed you two are is great also. You realize why RUclips is doing what they are doing, and you realize that changing things around might help you two in a place where you won't have to quit doing what you all love! Stay strong...#HoelleinStrong
Been checking your insta and Twitter since the situation has started. Thank you for updating us, and letting family youtubers know what to do to keep in good standing with RUclips!
My heart has been breaking thinking about what has been going on for you guys and I'm so glad there is a line of communication open now and you have answers! praying it's all resolved ASAP!
Thank you for being honest and open with us all. You'll always have my support.
So glad that you tube contacted you. I absolutely love your family and i hope you guys can continue to do what you do. I support you guys 100%!!!
I love that Bonnie and Joel explained what was going on with RUclips as others RUclipsrs do not, I understand that it is very stressful and personal, but I love so much that u guys talked about it and u truly talked about it and made sure we as your viewers understand your situation, so special!!!! Thank u!!!! I love watching u guys, your kiddos make me laugh when I am down and they bring me back up to my normal self!!!! I am so blessed to have been changed for the good by you guys and I am so grateful and thankful that i have the opportunity to watch u guys and learn so much more than I will ever from u guys, I love u, and thank u!!!!
I'm proud of you, Bonnie. You show humility, dignity, positivity, and perseverance. You are exhibiting great character in your reaction and I am even more impressed with you because of it. Good luck to y'all and thank you for sharing!
Thank you Bonnie for your honesty throughout this stressful time for you and your family. I'm so glad that we can all understand why it happened and now are empowered with the knowledge to make your vlogs even more beautiful ❤
The thumbnails and the titles are the problem? How kind of them to explain it (might have been better if they had done it before demonetizing you). It's curious that this happened to your channel and not to Ruby's, she does that way more than you do.
It isn’t just Bonnie other channels are under scrutiny as well. Ruby always turns the camera off when she needs to do serious discipline. Though there are plenty of her blogs that are questionable. The new You Tube wants creators to be mindful of their audience, which some channels have mostly children watching. Most of all they don’t want to see videos where children are camera shamed, or treated in an abusive way. It is a great move for You Tube.
I respect your channel so much! I am praying this all gets resolved!
Thank you for being so honest and explaining the situation, I think RUclips is doing the right thing and hopefully this just implies a better content regarding family channels. Keep up the good work and so much love to your family.
Bonnie and Joel, you are loved and you are deeply admired by so many people! I’m so glad that you are getting answers and resolution. I hope that your siblings are able to go through their videos in time and not get demonetized too. RUclips’s “better safe than sorry” approach really says a lot about how much they respect children and I appreciate that.
I am soooo happy that you got feedback from RUclips. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this difficult situation. I hope all will be resolved soon. Thanks for also sharing so many fun moments. Lincoln is talking so well and saying such intelligent and cute things. Cody's adorable artwork and facial expressions are going to be fun to show Cody's children in years to come. Your joy and wisdom touch the lives of viewers of all ages. We are truly blessed to get to watch your vlogs. And Joel is wonderful too.
This is a positive step, however, as a fellow Mom of four, sometimes parenting is rough. If no one is allowed to show real parenting, I feel like it's just going to be this picture of perfection and cause false guilt for new parents.
Are you moving towards remonitization?
I think people assuming their life is perfect is better than showing them disciplining them. That’s wrong. So I’m glad RUclips is moving forward with this to protect kids
Check out Daily Bumps, they are the ones who show a picture of perfection, and all their kid subscribers obviously want the same life
Thank you for your honesty. I do enjoy your videos and look forward to the new content.
I love how humbly you are accepting of what RUclips had to say. Although I don’t agree with what they said, I adore your family even more for how you’ve handled the situation. I love and admire the way you treat and speak to your children. But I guess this is life.. so glad to see your video up today! Sending love and prayers :)
Tommy McDaniel I don’t think they exploit their kids at all. That’s my opinion and you can have yours.
Goodness when I didn’t see you over the weekend I just about wanted to cry! Thank you for making us understand, we love you and want you back xx
I think this is great how reasonable you are and how you have handled it and I am so glad that you got this thing worked out! Lots of love to your amazing family ♥
I love your family and I hope they get all this straightened out for you guys. I, personally, have grown used to watching you guys. It's as though we are family. I would hate to think that we all have to lose something we all love because of a few small things. Prayers that this will be over soon. Keep those chins up and keep it moving :)
I’m so glad! I was praying for your family I have learned so much from your whole family!
In tears, I am so grateful you guys will still be making videos.
Glad to know you have some answers and this will help you with a clear direction on how to correct issues, and ways to continue to improve. Stay positive!
I couldn't sleep all weekend, so happy to see you back. My heart feels better, and i hope your feeling better guys.
Why do I laugh out loud when I watch y’all? Cause y’all are fun! Boston gets so worked up over whatever, Cody’s stories go on and on, Olivia has just the right amount of sass and Lincoln is just sweet! 😂❤️
Oh my gosh, I love your family!! You guys are both amazing parents, role models and youtubers! I am thankful that I've been able to see your family and channel grow! Keep doing what you do!❤❤
Bonnie you, your family, and your RUclips channel are in my prayers! I hope you get things all squared away!
Im glad you telling us what there looking at. Im sorry for whats going on but Im glad there cleaning it up!
In the best way to say it, I’m glad they did that to you guys, and the others they have. I’m not sure why anyone would exploit their children to fill their pocket book. Hopefully it was a lesson learn and you guys get a second chance. Viewers have been saying this to RUclipsrs for years and only to have y’all call us haters lol. It will be interesting to see the changes in RUclipsrs now that the boss is on the viewers and children’s side
I am so happy that you guys are able to continue with your vlogs. Bonnie you make my day sometimes. I can be feeling sorry for myself and watch your video and then just have a whole new perspective on life. Love you guys.
I understand the answers of RUclips. And so nice of them to contact you personally. Like you said for the future this is going to be good! Lots of hugs
I’m so glad you got the answers you were looking for! Onwards and upwards from here on end.
Love your videos and let’s hope RUclips keep you on here for our viewing pleasure.
So happy!!! My days were not complete without your vlogs! I hope everything gets organized again and we can all have you back! Love love!
The nail biting video and ear piercing videos you posted were embarrassing and humiliating for olivia. That is probably what they didn't want to see...
And the kids and cousins all in the bathtub thumbnail 👍🏻
Yeah, the ear piercing video was the first one I thought of. Glad RUclips is cleaning house. That video was disturbing.
Can’t tell you how blue and sad I’ve been - thinking about you and your sweet family!!!!!! We are in support of your family!
heidi clark what happened?!
I have been waiting for this video 24 since friday. So glad that you guys got some answers and things can get better for your family.
I am so glad that you have been in contact with someone and you are working things out. Such a sad world that we have to deal with thing things like people exploiting children! I hope things are sorted out for you very quickly!
