Jasper, don't dwell on the negative comments. You didn't force anyone to contribute. After seeing the damage that the incompetent contractors did to Carina's home, I think you were spot on in seeking some financial assistance for her. You care about her and that is noble of you to try to help her. I am a faithful follower of your videos and will continue to be.
Hello Jasper We are on a couple in our mid 70s who have been watching you from the beginning of your channel. We have never made a comment on any channel but would like to now. We love your channel and listening to you explaining your trials and tribulations are so amusing. We even like your slurping. A & A
I follow several vlogers on reconstruction of derelict properties and yours is one of the most interesting, having watched all of them and been impressed with the way you figure everything out as a non builder or engineer. The introduction of Karina & Valentina into your life has been a noticable uplift and I for one wish you all well for the future. Tragic and infuriating though the episode with these "Cowboys" is, it is unfortunately a waste of time doing anything other than moving on and putting the roof right, as you so rightly say. I am certain that collectively you will overcome this problem and get the roof done properly, having learned along the way. As for the "Cowboys", their day of reckoning will come and they will not see it coming as these matters have a very strange way of being resolved, by Karma. Sad that some people took your comments in a negative light but perhaps they have never been turned over in their lives and are unable to appreciate the feelings it engenders in those who have been.
That’s right if you want to help, help if not don’t. Simple as that. I actually enjoy your channel. You have a good sense of humour and that’s great. thank you for the videos 👍
People need to understand that you do this not for money. You do this for us to enjoy. When life turns to s.... emotions become high and things are said that are taken wrong. We all are human. Lighten up folks. Keep up the videos Jasper not everyone is heatless. We can understand your motive.
OMG, I can't believe the drama that some people are making of this! You gave those who'd like to help the opportunity to do so! Please don't dwell on the negative comments! ❤
Its your attitude, no one owns you nothing.you decide to make videos,we decided to watch. Maybe times are bad for you both. But ive watch to buy buy buy. Why dont you sell somethings you dont need anymore. Times are very hard for most people. One euro gets me my bread, that i did today and had a cuppa soup. Not cakes. Also im speaking my mind. But remember no one owns you nothing in life, just because you make a video.
Sending love to you all, thankyou for giving me joy with your daily videos, I have really enjoyed getting to know you Jasper. Wishing you all the very best for the festive season, and most of all sending positive vibes in regards to the roof problem, I know it will all eventually be sorted, take care ❤❤❤
Think you're doing a hell of a job!! I appreciate the daily videos!! Look forward to seeing how things are going, everyday. American, but a fellow Dutchman! Keep it up 🎉
Well said jasper!! most youtubers seem to live in fear of their viewers and their comments and its so refreshing to hear you call them out and basically tell them to f**k off, there really are some absolute ghouls who enjoy making people feel like crap or think they can say or demand things from you because they subscribe to your channel, these are the people who would not say a thing to your face, i hope carina learns to shrug this stuff off because these ghouls are simply not worth letting them into your pysche, all the best and i hope she is able to find a solution for her wee house xx
Jasper, Karina should not worry about what others opinion. Those who give, give willingly and from the heart. Those that don't wish to donate, for whatever reason, should mind their own business and not pass judgement on others. My best wishes on the resolve of this situation with her house, and may you both have a very happy holiday. Keep trucking on Jasper, I enjoy watching your channel everyday.
Hi Jasper, keep doing what your doing we love and look forward to your vlogs they are very entertaining and you are better off without some people on here just ignore them, we hope this will soon blow over and we hope your channels go from strength to strength. Michael and Carol.
Hi Jasper, everyone... I'm a long time subscriber of your channel from back in the days when you were organizing screws in your old house in the Netherlands, by putting them in yoghurt boxes you saved, to have them packed and ready to bring them to Portugal. The thing I like about your channel(s) is that you do things Jasper's way according to your own script and you do not care about who knows better but is seated in front of a computer or Smart TV and have never used a hammer before. You also do not try teach others, as some kind of expert on a given subject, which makes you just a normal guy with a will to do things. That represents the majority of us, viewers. And that's good thing in my opinion. Probably the main reason I'm a subscriber. I must also say that I'm happy that the you found someone you love and care for. That's exactly what your are doing right now. It just might not be so obvious how you are doing it. I usually never comment videos, on yours or other's channels. However, this time I decided to. I find it a little strange that you say you are disappointed but at the same time you also say that people only contribute if they can or if they want (or both). I also find it strange that you use the fact that you publish a lot of videos for people to be entertained and therefore you expected more contributions. They contribute by watching the videos! Having videos was your decision and and not our necessity. Let's keep in mind that people only watch them if they want to and that you are, channel wise, dependent on the viewers and not the viewers on the channel. Being very pragmatic about the whole thing, for someone that has 2 cars, a digger, several houses and plots of land among other possessions, is sponsored and paid for is videos, gives a quote of 90€ and hour for is work in IT, begging for money is kind of awards. If your are so worried about Carina (and Valentina) and disappointed with viewers/subscribers, why don't you sell something and contribute more? In my 50 years I've met several German and Dutch people where in Portugal. Some are my really good friends of mine, friend that I can trust my kids to. If there is one thing that I've learn from them is to be honest and direct with people, like it seams is the case with almost everyone in Northern Europe (not my words). Therefore this is my honest direct opinion. As a subscriber I'm almost obligated, by having you appealing to my sentiments, to contribute. And that's no right. But you know how You Tube works, probably better them I do and this all part of the game. So lets play but lets play fair. If you want a contribution, ware's mine, as this is probably what you really want anyway with this video. And don't worry because if you keep perpetuating the roof issue thru several videos, you probably will get what you want anyway. So good luck with that roof but, keeping expectations low, I was also expecting more from you.
I don’t know what the big deal is. Jesper asked for contributions and people helped, others didn’t and that’s fine also. I don’t know why people are having a go at him for expressing his feelings. I am sure he knows fully well that some people will like it and others will turn against him. I haven’t personally sent him any money and watch his videos regularly because I have followed his story for a while. He does things in his own way and sometimes I get frustrated with why he is doing something but i am not the one living his life, he is and he will have his own reasons why he does things they way he does. I do feel for Carina and Valentina and hope they get their issues resolved. When making comments on here we must remember that we only see a small window of someone’s life. There is no need to be negative or personal about each other and don’t need to feel guilty about not contributing financially at this point. In my view it is more important to let the channel grow and and root for things to work out in the end. You don’t need to justify why you didn’t make a contribution either, there is no moral obligation to donate.
Normally, I don't read comments or make comments. Your channel, your videos, your life, your views. I made a donation as I have and do enjoy your videos. Haters are Haters. I'm one of the thankful ones.
Didn't you say the second roofer says he can do Carina's roof work for 7,000€. Always remember assumptions makes an ass of you & me. Just say thanks for the donations.
It's the fact that the rest of the house got destroyed too. All the floors, the ceiling, the water lines the gas bottle house. The roofer ruined her house.
Jasper, what happened to Carina’s roofing project was extreme and terrible, and it is totally reasonable to ask for help. I watch several vloggers, and the majority of them accept donations for their renovations. Your situation is very different, Carina had the money for her project, but she got a terrible roofer to do the job and now has a real disaster on her hands, making Carina’s house unlivable. I was happy to donate. People also do not realize how much time is dedicated to making videos, and it’s free entertainment for your viewers. Please do not dwell on negative comments, those people are in the minority, you have loyal viewers, who do not agree with the negative comments.
just a bump in the road Jasper, when its a topic close to heart we are all at times a little too honest in our words and also unaware of how many highly strung people there are out there. Try not to over analyze it and keep on doing what you do, achieving a sweet dream. One guy I watch has 1.5 million subs never involves himself in the comments and barely speaks to the audience 🤣 there is no correct formula apart from keeping it real man! 💪😁✌🚬 have a good week!
There are moments in our lives where we need help to help others and moments where we can help others ourselves. I don’t feel guilt if I can‘t afford to donate and I don‘t think it‘s expected. I‘ll try and help others where I can.. but it‘s a conscious decision I make. Like the €10 I just sent. That just means I’ll not get a few things this week.. life is to short. Let’s enjoy life together. @Jasper.. Just keep doing you and I’m sure you‘ll reach your goals. Try not to let the negativity distract from all the good you’re achieving. Groetjes from Germany 😊
MONEY'S NOT EVERYTHING LOOK AT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE DYING IN UKRAINE THE MAN IS ASKING FOR HELP SO HELP IF YOU WISH DON'T KNOCK HIM DOWN KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MATE GOD BLESS KARINA 🙏
What I reacted to was your tone in your request, nothing else. It was guilt because not everyone cheated whether we wanted to or could. You know nothing about our situaton or how? Vi may be struggling to make ends meet financially and have enjoyed looking at your vlog. Plleace don`t spoil the fun. Can`t stop thinking why karina paid the whole amount at once, here we are always told to portion it out so as not to be blown like she unfortunately was. Feel sorry for her because it happened and maybe puts some of the blame om her father because in business you can`t trust anyone, not even friends or acquaintances.
You are an inspiration Jasper... Understand that we like and support you. Not necessarily your girlfriend that we barely know, certainly not to the point of financing her family house. 😅
Just donated a bit as I’ve had a good week and your videos give me a great deal of pleasure & Corinna and Valentina (such a cutie) have added to that! Just ignore the nasty comments!
Jasper I'm so sorry karina got hurt. And I'm sorry you got hurt seeing your beautiful girlfriend hurt but I love your story I love to watch each day I'm disabled man in the uk and watching you brings me joy thank you
Keep your chin up there are always some people who have to complain to keep them happy I'm sorry I can't donate at the minute but hopefully in a couple of weeks I maybe able to
Jasper, Thankyou for addressing the unfair comments you are receiving. I watch your videos every day, I was horrified to see what has happened to the roof repairs but totally agree how difficult it would be to tackle these dodgy builders. I wish you all the best with your fundraising.
Jasper , Thank you. Thank you for being human and wanting to help someone that a piece of merda took advantage of. and to Carina and Valentina , Nós amamos você mesmo se você não youtube and we know Jasper cares about you. I watch and follow both channels , slurppies and all because they are entertaining and I enjoy watching what Jasper posts
Life is full of challenges. Some days they are a small puddle to step over and then there is the brick wall to climb. You will get there. I have trust in you. Small 20 E gift. God bless and love the new additions to the family.
I just read the comments you are referring to here and understand how much you care for and want to protect Carina as she is to you, as Bob Dylan put it: "Suddenly I turned around and she was standing there / with silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair. / She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns. / Come in' she said, 'I'll give you shelter from the storm'."
Even Nederlands hier Jasper, vertaling hieronder. (translation below.) Waarom zou je mensen zonder enig normbesef moeten vertellen over het hoe en waarom. Ze hebben een mening gevormd en komen echt niet tot de conclusie die jij denkt te vormen met deze video, stop hiermee, je begint aan een neerwaartse spiraal en daar moet je verre vandaan blijven. Dat Karina emotioneel wordt van de negative commentaren is ook een iets wat niet hardop gezegd hoeft te worden, door alle ellende die momenteel rondom jullie gaande is, zal er nog wel vaker een emotioneel moment komen. Accepteer dat en ga door. Je kan linksaf gaan, of rechtsaf, de een vind dat goed, de ander vervloekt je, dus kijk naar morgen, en vergeet gisteren. Het komt goed, het gaat alleen langer duren dan je gewenst hebt. Zo, nu iets leuks. Ondanks al het negatieve zijn jullie nog steeds de moeite waard om de dagelijkse bezigheden te bekijken, te bewonderen of te bekritiseren. Je bent Nederlander, dus ondernemend, blijf ondernemen en maak fouten, leer ervan, en doorrrrrrrrr. 😇🥰 Why should you tell people without any sense of standards about how and why. They have formed an opinion and really do not come to the conclusion that you think you are with this video, stop with this, you start a downward spiral and you have to stay far away. The fact that Karina becomes emotional of the negative comments is also something that does not have to be said out loud, because of all the misery that is currently going on, there will often be an emotional moment. Accept that and continue. You can turn left, or turn right, the one like that, the other curses you, so look at tomorrow, and forget yesterday. It will be fine, it will only take longer than you want. So, something nice now. Despite all the negative, you are still worth seeing, admiring or criticizing the daily activities. You are Dutch, so entrepreneurial, keep doing business and make mistakes, learn from them, and keep going.
I'm so sorry to hear that Carina is upset. When she was laughing off the roof issue, I suspected that deep down she was very upset, angry, and a whole lot more probably! Nobody can afford to lose that much money, and it would upset most people, I think. There are many other channels that fund raise for essential items, so it's very sad that some of your viewers were very unkind about your efforts to do the same. It's not like a roof is something trivial! I hope everything will be sorted out soon. Sending hugs to Carina and Valentina. 😊
I agree with Jasper, in Portugal it really isnt worth it to take to court. Waste of time. Thats just how it is. Also Jasper, please accept that some do not have two pennies to rub together, if they had they would have their priorities where that money would go, whether it be netflix or some other monthly subscription, its their decision, and at this moment in time it is not on Carinas house. Keep up the slurping, i hate it, was brought up with it not being acceptable, but that is you, and you are who we are watching going about your daily life.
I live in a medium size town in Illinois US. Every time we want to make structural changes to a house, we have to go through the building permit process, site inspectors to make sure that the building codes for the area are being met. That is the case even for small changes. Larger changes usually need to go through a structural engineer. I come from a multi-generational family of civil and structural engineers and the stories of what can go wrong when corners are cut - usually for money reasons but sometimes for expediency reasons - are nightmarish. I think what went wrong with the house in Porto is that a major re-engineering of the roof structure was undertaken by builders who had no idea how to do such a project. You don't place a weight-bearing masonry wall that is holding up the roof on a ledge! I dont know if Porto has earthquakes but if it did, the roof would collapse as the wall disintegrated. I haven't donated any money because I think the structure of the roof is so unsound as to be unsafe. It needs to be taken down and rebuilt - properly, with engineered plans. And yes! That will be far more expensive but worth it. And while you are at it, use the space under the roof to be come a habitable space... with large windows looking out on the countryside.. With RUclips, you could film a whole new addition to the house being made, with proper builders and building practices. I think you could make a case for funding donations that will go towards rebuilding the house better than it was, with a roof structure that could withstand the appocalypse. Think bigger!
Not my meaning to be negative. Already enough negativity going on (😄). But the US is not the same as Portugal or other countries. For what i know, in some aspects you have more freedom in the US, other aspects maybe less freedom to do as you want. So rules on building are very strict in the US so it seems. And for a good reason of course. Also where i live in Northern Europe. In Portugal (Southern Europe) there are rules but in many cases not very strict or the rules are not followed. Portugal is great country but the state of some of the houses is terrible. Half build walls, collapsed roofs, many ruins here and there. The wall built upon the top floor, the ledge is terrible yes, and scary. My idea at first was maybe put something under it to make the weight and pressure go into the outer wall. But in fact the only safe solution is to brake everything down, and start again. About a new roof with big windows, a good idea. But that will bring you in trouble with the authorities. You would need a permit for that. Will take a long time, all the paperwork. (the city of Lisbon , more to the south, had a big earthquake in 1755 fires broke out, and a tsunami came, and many people died, Porto now and then only small earthquakes no real damage i think).
I don’t think people are upset about you asking for donations We are all very sad to see how the builders have treated Karina Their work ethic is beyond shocking and we can all appreciate how upsetting this had been I think the main issue is that you were disappointed at the amount raised I think that your viewers have been extremely kind in donating and the last thing that we want to do is upset anyone So please tell Karina that it was not our intention to upset her 😥😥😥❤
I think that goes for more of us, especially because Christmas is coming up and if one has to live on crums and scraps already, this is actually the hardest financial period of the year for everyone, so then even worse when you have to count every cent or already have to go to the food bank for help. 😢 I know statically that many followers are close to "24/7 TV watchers" and then not in a paid job. Retired or unemployment goes for many of us. It was hard before but as a result of corona and the ongoing war, inflation got sky high as well. Unfortunately, pensions and dole money are incomes that are not brought up anywhere near to the inflation rate. 😑 So, we are for sure many who would have loved to help out, but have no possibility. 💔❤️🩹❤️ I see the same situation in the charity that I have been running for 24 years now (totally voluntarily). We have been able to help so many starving families before, but since the coronatime the donations started to go downhill. Whilst the poverty went up like crazy here in Turkey and inflation maxed to 150%, Norwegians stopped donating du to the total financial situation. 😢 The thing is, at least 80% of those that always share their money with poor people have the lowest income themselves. They know how difficult life can be and realise that there are people that are even worse off than themselves. So they give what they see they have possibility for but I know that they then also cut into their own needs. 🙏😇 This is what I have seen over 24 years and there are some statistics about it as well. 🤗 I am also the type that feel guilty when there is no more help I possibly can give but we should not, I know. I just wish I could convince the people that earn millions, billions to be a bit more considerate, even when they come from "nothing" they stop seeing others that have nothing....🙄😔 I hope you will be able to manage on your $100 🙏 it is very hard, especially around the holidays. ❤❤
This is weird, I replied to this comment but it is not visible. 🤔 It counts the reply though and it is in my Saved comments. Why does this happen? Does YT block text even the content is not bad? 😮
Oh Jasper.. I’m so sorry that Carina is upset by all of those comments.. give her a hug from me.. The world is definitely fickle. I felt sure you would get to your goal, but obviously I can’t read the crowd either. Yes I do find your videos entertaining.. especially since you started this channel.. You make me laugh, you make me cranky, I sometimes give you a lecture through the screen. I even enjoy your jokes and pranks(slurping) because you do it with humour. Cheers friend, keep them coming.. Till tomorrow 🌺🌸🌺
Jasp, a lot of folks in Portugal are unaware of their legal rights. If Karina is Portuguese and her income is low, she can qualify for free legal aid through social security. If her income is a bit higher, she might have to pay a small monthly fee. However, the losing party in a lawsuit typically covers all legal costs. So, if Karina wins, the builder will have to pay her lawyer's fees. Don't let this slide, take it to court.
Yes, I agree, but as Jasper said, Portugal's laws are still in the dark ages; its all about money. If the builder has no money, who is going to pay? we are Dam, i donated 25 euro Thats my cup of coffee for the week😡
Hey, Jasper. I suppose getting into the world of RUclips is always going to get you some unwelcome comments. I don't think there's a single RUclipsr that I follow who hasn't been through exactly the same thing. You're a very direct guy who speaks his mind and, unfortunately, in some countries this might come across as a little aggressive (speaking as a Brit 😂). Fortunately, having been an English teacher to many many non-Brits, I've learned a lot about working with different nationalities and I know not to take offence. Go give Corrina a hug. ❤
I was totally taken aback by all the negative comments and even hate posts. Jasper did a genuine ask for help. Not for him self, but for Karina. No, it wasn’t very clever to pay up the total amount upfront, but what do we know. In less progressive countries like Portugal this is probably the way of the land and usually in good faith. This time it went sour unfortunately. For all the haters amongst you, move on and get a life. I contributed again and double the amount this time. This is my way of saying “Jasper, you don’t deserve all this sh*t. Please keep on making these enjoyable vlogs and don’t let it you and Katrina get down.
Jasper, when you put yourself out there, you are going to be knocked by some, and that is fair. You cannot, and you do not expect only positive results. yet the negative does hurt, especially when it is directed to someone meaningful to you. Here in Argetina things are just as crooked as they are in Potugal. You are expected to pay 100% of the work and then they dont appear. Karina´s story is common, that does not make it right. It is easy to say the right things, but that rarely gets you what you want. It is a bumpy road out there, and you simply have to do your best to traverse it. I wish both of you strength and endurance and also enjoy the fruits that you got from your followers. They may not be as many as you expected, but we are worth your time and energy. I can do without the slurping !! 😜
Please don't compare Argentina with Portugal, who , in his absolute mind, pays e roof renovation work in advance?? Usually the customer buys materials and pays by the end of each week. I thought the house was from Carina's father. Was his fault?
Tell Corina don’t be upset this world has negative people I wish we could get rid of them plz your doing great . She adds alit to the videos this to should pass and be old news don’t put more weight into the negitive
Jasper, I am the one who suggested that you call a lawyer. I didn't know about the laws of portugal. Thank you for clarifying I watch a lot of RUclips videos from people that have moved to portugal. Almost all are doing their own repairs to the places they bought. Some also talk about the high prices of building materials. Finding reliable workers is hard. I've seen not only in Karinas home but in other videos. I didn't mean to be negative. I thought I was trying to help.
Jasper, your channel, your family, your business, so many moaners no-one is being forced to contribute, contributors should do it from the heart... thankyou for your channel and God Bless you, Carina and Valentina...... Carina please ignore the negative attitude of others you and Valentina are beautiful ❤😊🌻💐
You don’t need to justify what you do or feel haters are going to hate no matter what. Carina is human like all of us so for those leaving hasty comments just remember she has feelings just like you. If you can’t say something nice **** OFF. Jasper is simply asking for some help from those that can afford it being disappointed is not a crime !
I sent money after you were disappointed because you made a good argument and I I know how carina must feel as negativity from others is a real downer and sadly does ruin sleep and enjoyment of life until you can move on. People need to consider the effects of their judgements.
I think the good thing about RUclips is that it is advertising for what you are doing. I assume you are working towards some project. Considering that vast eucalyptus wood resource available Portugal would be a great place for carpentry. I am going to make everything for my house myself. I would suggest looking at a lot of Japanese videos. An odd thing but I think we could have inland marinas. Truck the boats in. The cost of marina storage is horrific. I have a whole street in my village of empty houses surely they could be fixed up and used as holiday homes. When I lived on a canal boat I would pull up on a lonely section. Within two days a little community had developed around me. Nobody wants to be the first.
hi jasper been watching your videos since you started also your dailies, you are living my dream, but to old know and in bad health, but I enjoy all that you do, you should not take any notice of negative cranks, don't let them get you down
jasper your are hard working guy,l really enjoy your channel, the people who criticise need to trot on , as you said they should check out your other videos then they would understand the position caran’s in she has the baby to care for with no roof and all the damage that came with it,you can’t be in two places ,don’t let these people bug you both your a lovely couple keep fighting on much love xxx
Ohhhhh shit. Prople are acting like such babies!!! It seems like they donated and expected to have their asses kissed afterwards. I donated of my own free will with no expectations in return. What a bunch of hateful, snarkey, jealous babies. I completely understood what you said in the video, how can so many turn it out so negatively? Carina, i see you girl, i feel you, i know how you must feel right now. Youre a sweetheart, i dont need a big gushing session of thank you from you, i know you appreciate it. Try to rise above these whiney babies and their shitty attitude. Jasper, its ok, maybe this is weeding out the bad ones??? Also, ive seen several youtubers switch to daily videos lately, maybe its a suggestion from youtube? Dont worry, your sane viewers understood what you meant. My heart is breaking for you both to have to put up with this bullshit. ❤❤❤❤❤
Jasper, every channel I have watched has their negative sometimes hurtful comments ! They are jealous or have a depressing life ! Ignore and keep making the videos 👍
ik hoop dat dit kleine beetje toch helpt om Carina te helpen de andere aannemer te betalen . Er zullen altijd wel mensen zijn die negatieve meningen hebben maar die weten niet beter dus jasper laat ze lullen en laat je niet gek maken ik geniet elke dag van je vlog
Ich bin zu alt für Kindergeburtstag in den Kommentaren. Unfälle können geschehen. Nach Hilfe fragen ganz normal. Mach weiter mit deinen Videos. Sponsoren, Werbung und der ganze Rest wird auch noch kommen. Lasst euch von niemandem ärgern. Und vertraut niemandem. Grüße aus dem Saarland.
Scripture teaches us to "Love one another." By Helping others we are fulfilling the following commandment as is written in The Holy Bible. "A new commandment I give unto you: That you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another." [John 13:34]
Subscribed. Every RUclips channel I follow has some negative people that need to vent about something or other and that says more about them than the FREE content they do not have to watch....it seems so simple but I guess not.
words fail me. it saddens me all the negative comments. jasper gives us so much on a daily basis and its all free. i have had friends that have tried youtube and havent had a great success with it as you need extremely high numbers of subscribers and you need those subscribers to click on the like button. this is FREE TO US but will generate an income ONLY IF there are 1000's of people. but lots of people view but dont click on the thumbs up button and that along with sponsors is how money is made, jasper as we all know rarely does a sponsor and like i said if you look at the number of views to the number of thumbs ups there are you will see a vast difference, as views will always be higher. its sad that people have personally had a go at carina, she is already upset by the roofers and doesnt deserve being called out. there are lots of people ive watched on other channels that dont like to be filmed that is there choice and no one bullys them so WHY SO YOU FEEL ITS ACCEPTABLE TO DO IT TO CARINA ? SHAME ON YOU !!. and as for the person who wants his donation back. the amount of help jasper has asked for is miniscule when you think of all the big charities that ask for donations, out of those by the time the fat cats has been paid very little goes to the charities, ALL of what jasper is trying to raise is for carina and valentina. it sadens me that people can be so unkind when all that is being asked is KINDNESS. if you cant be kind then best not to say anything as the saying goes. my heart goes out to you @ jasper, carina and sweet valentina
I just donated because I appreciate that you continue to just be yourself even if many commenters don't like it. So many youtubers pander to an audience and you can tell. I'm not sure how much in dollars my euro donation amounts to but I hope it helps. I'll look up the conversion.
I notice that several people through time believe that RUclips is a huge income. It is, for those who have videos that are viewed a LOT. Meaning 100.000++++++ Even if you once have one video like that, you are not earning much unless you get more videos like those. To have a steady income you should have minimum 100.000 subscribers, post frequently with lots of views. Those who are most successful are quite young people with content that is not interesting for me, but teenagers go crazy over them. RUclips earns on advertisements and they share the earnings based on views. This business is like any other business, only a handful gets rich from it, a small group can live on the income but most people do it because they like to document what they enjoy to do... and of course many hope to make an income out of it but it is much harder than many viewers seem to think. And a lot more work, too. 😉 Jasper, I watch many with 2 or more channels that link them with the heading i.e. "My other Channel". (It show like the round icon to click for entering a channel). They do this to get more viewers in both/all channels. Since you mostly do the smallest channel now, maybe it is an idea to do this linking? 😉
Firstly I would like to say bravo to you for posting this video and calling out those people. I can't believe these people that sit in front of their computers hiding themselves and saying negative comments. We all know there are nasty people out there and this has shown some of them. I've been following your videos from day one and enjoy them and your sense of humour, I will continue watching them. There is that old saying, "If you have nothing good to say then don't say anything". I have donated on GoFundMe and I am proud that I can help in my small way. These people have a lack of compassion.
Jasper hope your well. I'm disabled and not rich. I've sent €6 £5. For the two young ladys. Anyway when you are rendering. We use floats scratch coat then top coat. Like plastering. Does that not work in Portugal. I just wondered. Let's get back to having fun 😊
Carina shares Jasper with the rest of us, it's hard for her. Have you ever had a blended family where you wanted someone all to yourself but needed to everyday be reminded that you need to share? It's not easy. Jasper could exchange the two hours of making videos each day with spending time with Carina and Valentina.
Why oh why do content creators think all their hard work simply Must solve such huge problems. You may be working long hours filming but you dont have an employment contract..so get real Jasper
i feel some people here have such little objectivity. This is a wonderful channel. And to create something like this takes a lot of thought, practical application and above all; Time.. It makes my day, everyday of the week. Life is a two way street and I've come to think of you guys as a part of my life now and I reckon you feel something similar from all of us subscribers. I'd miss you if you weren't able to continue. I would stick my hand in my pocket to help out any of my friends and by extension, helping you guys felt like a natural thing to do. I'd rather help here than pump money into Netflix. I genuinely believe the daily Vlog is the right format despite the time consuming work you put in. Dropping even a small donation is money well spent IMHO. Theres a passion so clearly expressed by you and karina, J. This is a channel about sharing your life and that includes your feelings, not a sanitised version. I could feel the hate coming as soon as you started discussing how disappointed you were feeling and I have to admit it made me recoil a little, but only because it was out of the 'norm' for this kind of content. But then I thought 'No', this man is publicly displaying a rare authenticity and I respect you for that mate. Keep going plugging the donations you're nearly there 7k and rising. All the Best to you all, much love. xxx
Jasper keep doing you buddy, I've seen all your videos, your always positive even when things go wrong. Love the content, I will keep donating when I can. Forget the trolls and forget the negative people. We will get to goal... Let's go...
There was nothing wrong with you asking or expressing your disappointment. I wish I could donate but can't. I do hope she gets what she needs done to her house. She had put a lot of work into her home to have it destroyed by a scammer. I hope she an sue them and get her money back. Karina seems like a very shy person. She has been a great asset to you and I can see how happy you have become with her in your life.
The fact that your are helping a wonen and child is what real men do. Thank you
Jasper, don't dwell on the negative comments. You didn't force anyone to contribute. After seeing the damage that the incompetent contractors did to Carina's home, I think you were spot on in seeking some financial assistance for her. You care about her and that is noble of you to try to help her. I am a faithful follower of your videos and will continue to be.
I think most people have problems with your tone of voice. Its like you want to gaslight a part of your audience.
full on narcissist im thinking
Hello Jasper
We are on a couple in our mid 70s who have been watching you from the beginning of your channel.
We have never made a comment on any channel but would like to now.
We love your channel and listening to you explaining your trials and tribulations are so amusing.
We even like your slurping.
A & A
I follow several vlogers on reconstruction of derelict properties and yours is one of the most interesting, having watched all of them and been impressed with the way you figure everything out as a non builder or engineer.
The introduction of Karina & Valentina into your life has been a noticable uplift and I for one wish you all well for the future.
Tragic and infuriating though the episode with these "Cowboys" is, it is unfortunately a waste of time doing anything other than moving on and putting the roof right, as you so rightly say.
I am certain that collectively you will overcome this problem and get the roof done properly, having learned along the way.
As for the "Cowboys", their day of reckoning will come and they will not see it coming as these matters have a very strange way of being resolved, by Karma.
Sad that some people took your comments in a negative light but perhaps they have never been turned over in their lives and are unable to appreciate the feelings it engenders in those who have been.
That’s right if you want to help, help if not don’t. Simple as that. I actually enjoy your channel. You have a good sense of humour and that’s great. thank you for the videos 👍
People need to understand that you do this not for money. You do this for us to enjoy. When life turns to s.... emotions become high and things are said that are taken wrong. We all are human. Lighten up folks. Keep up the videos Jasper not everyone is heatless. We can understand your motive.
OMG, I can't believe the drama that some people are making of this! You gave those who'd like to help the opportunity to do so! Please don't dwell on the negative comments! ❤
Its your attitude, no one owns you nothing.you decide to make videos,we decided to watch. Maybe times are bad for you both. But ive watch to buy buy buy. Why dont you sell somethings you dont need anymore. Times are very hard for most people. One euro gets me my bread, that i did today and had a cuppa soup. Not cakes. Also im speaking my mind. But remember no one owns you nothing in life, just because you make a video.
Yes but he is not going to change his attitude.
Sending love to you all, thankyou for giving me joy with your daily videos, I have really enjoyed getting to know you Jasper. Wishing you all the very best for the festive season, and most of all sending positive vibes in regards to the roof problem, I know it will all eventually be sorted, take care ❤❤❤
Think you're doing a hell of a job!! I appreciate the daily videos!! Look forward to seeing how things are going, everyday. American, but a fellow Dutchman! Keep it up 🎉
Well said jasper!! most youtubers seem to live in fear of their viewers and their comments and its so refreshing to hear you call them out and basically tell them to f**k off, there really are some absolute ghouls who enjoy making people feel like crap or think they can say or demand things from you because they subscribe to your channel, these are the people who would not say a thing to your face, i hope carina learns to shrug this stuff off because these ghouls are simply not worth letting them into your pysche, all the best and i hope she is able to find a solution for her wee house xx
Jasper, Karina should not worry about what others opinion. Those who give, give willingly and from the heart. Those that don't wish to donate, for whatever reason, should mind their own business and not pass judgement on others. My best wishes on the resolve of this situation with her house, and may you both have a very happy holiday. Keep trucking on Jasper, I enjoy watching your channel everyday.
Hi Jasper, keep doing what your doing we love and look forward to your vlogs they are very entertaining and you are better off without some people on here just ignore them, we hope this will soon blow over and we hope your channels go from strength to strength.
Michael and Carol.
Hi Jasper, everyone...
I'm a long time subscriber of your channel from back in the days when you were organizing screws in your old house in the Netherlands, by putting them in yoghurt boxes you saved, to have them packed and ready to bring them to Portugal.
The thing I like about your channel(s) is that you do things Jasper's way according to your own script and you do not care about who knows better but is seated in front of a computer or Smart TV and have never used a hammer before. You also do not try teach others, as some kind of expert on a given subject, which makes you just a normal guy with a will to do things. That represents the majority of us, viewers. And that's good thing in my opinion. Probably the main reason I'm a subscriber.
I must also say that I'm happy that the you found someone you love and care for. That's exactly what your are doing right now. It just might not be so obvious how you are doing it.
I usually never comment videos, on yours or other's channels. However, this time I decided to.
I find it a little strange that you say you are disappointed but at the same time you also say that people only contribute if they can or if they want (or both). I also find it strange that you use the fact that you publish a lot of videos for people to be entertained and therefore you expected more contributions. They contribute by watching the videos! Having videos was your decision and and not our necessity. Let's keep in mind that people only watch them if they want to and that you are, channel wise, dependent on the viewers and not the viewers on the channel.
Being very pragmatic about the whole thing, for someone that has 2 cars, a digger, several houses and plots of land among other possessions, is sponsored and paid for is videos, gives a quote of 90€ and hour for is work in IT, begging for money is kind of awards. If your are so worried about Carina (and Valentina) and disappointed with viewers/subscribers, why don't you sell something and contribute more?
In my 50 years I've met several German and Dutch people where in Portugal. Some are my really good friends of mine, friend that I can trust my kids to. If there is one thing that I've learn from them is to be honest and direct with people, like it seams is the case with almost everyone in Northern Europe (not my words). Therefore this is my honest direct opinion.
As a subscriber I'm almost obligated, by having you appealing to my sentiments, to contribute. And that's no right. But you know how You Tube works, probably better them I do and this all part of the game. So lets play but lets play fair. If you want a contribution, ware's mine, as this is probably what you really want anyway with this video. And don't worry because if you keep perpetuating the roof issue thru several videos, you probably will get what you want anyway.
So good luck with that roof but, keeping expectations low, I was also expecting more from you.
I don’t know what the big deal is.
Jesper asked for contributions and people helped, others didn’t and that’s fine also.
I don’t know why people are having a go at him for expressing his feelings. I am sure he knows fully well that some people will like it and others will turn against him.
I haven’t personally sent him any money and watch his videos regularly because I have followed his story for a while. He does things in his own way and sometimes I get frustrated with why he is doing something but i am not the one living his life, he is and he will have his own reasons why he does things they way he does.
I do feel for Carina and Valentina and hope they get their issues resolved.
When making comments on here we must remember that we only see a small window of someone’s life.
There is no need to be negative or personal about each other and don’t need to feel guilty about not contributing financially at this point.
In my view it is more important to let the channel grow and and root for things to work out in the end.
You don’t need to justify why you didn’t make a contribution either, there is no moral obligation to donate.
very well said!
Normally, I don't read comments or make comments. Your channel, your videos, your life, your views. I made a donation as I have and do enjoy your videos. Haters are Haters. I'm one of the thankful ones.
Agree
Didn't you say the second roofer says he can do Carina's roof work for 7,000€. Always remember assumptions makes an ass of you & me. Just say thanks for the donations.
It's the fact that the rest of the house got destroyed too. All the floors, the ceiling, the water lines the gas bottle house. The roofer ruined her house.
❤👍👻😂
Met woorden gesproken '
Als je een Reus bent,is het raadzaam om niet te vaak te bukken om je verstaanbaar te maken.
Je krijgt last van je rug.😊
People are just stupid Jasper. Keep smiling and keep doing what you are doing.
Jasper, what happened to Carina’s roofing project was extreme and terrible, and it is totally reasonable to ask for help. I watch several vloggers, and the majority of them accept donations for their renovations. Your situation is very different, Carina had the money for her project, but she got a terrible roofer to do the job and now has a real disaster on her hands, making Carina’s house unlivable. I was happy to donate. People also do not realize how much time is dedicated to making videos, and it’s free entertainment for your viewers. Please do not dwell on negative comments, those people are in the minority, you have loyal viewers, who do not agree with the negative comments.
just a bump in the road Jasper, when its a topic close to heart we are all at times a little too honest in our words and also unaware of how many highly strung people there are out there. Try not to over analyze it and keep on doing what you do, achieving a sweet dream. One guy I watch has 1.5 million subs never involves himself in the comments and barely speaks to the audience 🤣 there is no correct formula apart from keeping it real man! 💪😁✌🚬 have a good week!
well said,
There are moments in our lives where we need help to help others and moments where we can help others ourselves. I don’t feel guilt if I can‘t afford to donate and I don‘t think it‘s expected. I‘ll try and help others where I can.. but it‘s a conscious decision I make. Like the €10 I just sent. That just means I’ll not get a few things this week.. life is to short. Let’s enjoy life together. @Jasper.. Just keep doing you and I’m sure you‘ll reach your goals. Try not to let the negativity distract from all the good you’re achieving. Groetjes from Germany 😊
MONEY'S NOT EVERYTHING LOOK AT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE DYING IN UKRAINE THE MAN IS ASKING FOR HELP SO HELP IF YOU WISH DON'T KNOCK HIM DOWN KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MATE GOD BLESS KARINA 🙏
What I reacted to was your tone in your request, nothing else. It was guilt because not everyone cheated whether we wanted to or could. You know nothing about our situaton or how? Vi may be struggling to make ends meet financially and have enjoyed looking at your vlog. Plleace don`t spoil the fun. Can`t stop thinking why karina paid the whole amount at once, here we are always told to portion it out so as not to be blown like she unfortunately was. Feel sorry for her because it happened and maybe puts some of the blame om her father because in business you can`t trust anyone, not even friends or acquaintances.
Karina é uma mulher orgulhosa, bem ao modo português... tenta perceber, totalmente isso.
Também penso que a Justiça não é boa solução.
Abraço!
Ignore people with negativity. They are that way in every phase of life. I enjoy watching daily. Thank you
You are an inspiration Jasper...
Understand that we like and support you. Not necessarily your girlfriend that we barely know, certainly not to the point of financing her family house. 😅
You do a great job. I really hope you get to your goal for your girl friends house She is a great help to you and you do a great job on your house.
Hi. I love your videos, do not listen to the sour comments, carry on with your videos. Alan.
If you do not help don’t! Do not complain if others do!
Am sorry but I will not be watching this vlog anymore money grabber
why even comment that you are leaving? just leave!
Just donated a bit as I’ve had a good week and your videos give me a great deal of pleasure & Corinna and Valentina (such a cutie) have added to that! Just ignore the nasty comments!
You could have done a series over there rebuilding the roof, you have the experience already :) . Could be nice to do a temporary change of scenery.
Not an interesting scenery up there as in Ghost Town!
Jasper I'm so sorry karina got hurt. And I'm sorry you got hurt seeing your beautiful girlfriend hurt but I love your story I love to watch each day I'm disabled man in the uk and watching you brings me joy thank you
So sweet!
Your dogs are feeling your pain. Take a deep breath, whatever the matter is, waiting for the best thing is very hard.
😢😢 terrible please don't dwell on them. Give Karina a big hug 😊and think positive 😊
You Tube is turning into a BEGGING CHANNLE
RUclips is a platform.. containing channels
Keep your chin up there are always some people who have to complain to keep them happy I'm sorry I can't donate at the minute but hopefully in a couple of weeks I maybe able to
Jasper, Thankyou for addressing the unfair comments you are receiving. I watch your videos every day, I was horrified to see what has happened to the roof repairs but totally agree how difficult it would be to tackle these dodgy builders. I wish you all the best with your fundraising.
You rock Jasper You made my day almost everyday with your daily vlog. As for the go fund me its getting there . Need about 2500 only
Jasper , Thank you. Thank you for being human and wanting to help someone that a piece of merda took advantage of. and to Carina and Valentina , Nós amamos você mesmo se você não youtube and we know Jasper cares about you. I watch and follow both channels , slurppies and all because they are entertaining and I enjoy watching what Jasper posts
Life is full of challenges. Some days they are a small puddle to step over and then there is the brick wall to climb. You will get there. I have trust in you. Small 20 E gift. God bless and love the new additions to the family.
I just read the comments you are referring to here and understand how much you care for and want to protect Carina as she is to you, as Bob Dylan put it: "Suddenly I turned around and she was standing there / with silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair. / She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns. / Come in' she said, 'I'll give you shelter from the storm'."
Loved your comment. It brings a beautiful spot of poetry to start my day. 😊
@@dragonfly9209 Nothing like Dylan to hit the spot, right? Glad you enjoyed it!
Even Nederlands hier Jasper, vertaling hieronder. (translation below.)
Waarom zou je mensen zonder enig normbesef moeten vertellen over het hoe en waarom. Ze hebben een mening gevormd en komen echt niet tot de conclusie die jij denkt te vormen met deze video, stop hiermee, je begint aan een neerwaartse spiraal en daar moet je verre vandaan blijven.
Dat Karina emotioneel wordt van de negative commentaren is ook een iets wat niet hardop gezegd hoeft te worden, door alle ellende die momenteel rondom jullie gaande is, zal er nog wel vaker een emotioneel moment komen. Accepteer dat en ga door.
Je kan linksaf gaan, of rechtsaf, de een vind dat goed, de ander vervloekt je, dus kijk naar morgen, en vergeet gisteren.
Het komt goed, het gaat alleen langer duren dan je gewenst hebt.
Zo, nu iets leuks. Ondanks al het negatieve zijn jullie nog steeds de moeite waard om de dagelijkse bezigheden te bekijken, te bewonderen of te bekritiseren. Je bent Nederlander, dus ondernemend, blijf ondernemen en maak fouten, leer ervan, en doorrrrrrrrr. 😇🥰
Why should you tell people without any sense of standards about how and why. They have formed an opinion and really do not come to the conclusion that you think you are with this video, stop with this, you start a downward spiral and you have to stay far away.
The fact that Karina becomes emotional of the negative comments is also something that does not have to be said out loud, because of all the misery that is currently going on, there will often be an emotional moment. Accept that and continue.
You can turn left, or turn right, the one like that, the other curses you, so look at tomorrow, and forget yesterday.
It will be fine, it will only take longer than you want.
So, something nice now. Despite all the negative, you are still worth seeing, admiring or criticizing the daily activities. You are Dutch, so entrepreneurial, keep doing business and make mistakes, learn from them, and keep going.
Doorzetten.
Good episode with explanation :) just sent some help...
I'm so sorry to hear that Carina is upset. When she was laughing off the roof issue, I suspected that deep down she was very upset, angry, and a whole lot more probably! Nobody can afford to lose that much money, and it would upset most people, I think.
There are many other channels that fund raise for essential items, so it's very sad that some of your viewers were very unkind about your efforts to do the same. It's not like a roof is something trivial! I hope everything will be sorted out soon. Sending hugs to Carina and Valentina. 😊
I agree with Jasper, in Portugal it really isnt worth it to take to court. Waste of time. Thats just how it is. Also Jasper, please accept that some do not have two pennies to rub together, if they had they would have their priorities where that money would go, whether it be netflix or some other monthly subscription, its their decision, and at this moment in time it is not on Carinas house. Keep up the slurping, i hate it, was brought up with it not being acceptable, but that is you, and you are who we are watching going about your daily life.
Just delete this and get on with it jasper, keep doing your thing, the real people will keep following you, as Rogan says-don’t read the comments!
I live in a medium size town in Illinois US. Every time we want to make structural changes to a house, we have to go through the building permit process, site inspectors to make sure that the building codes for the area are being met. That is the case even for small changes. Larger changes usually need to go through a structural engineer. I come from a multi-generational family of civil and structural engineers and the stories of what can go wrong when corners are cut - usually for money reasons but sometimes for expediency reasons - are nightmarish. I think what went wrong with the house in Porto is that a major re-engineering of the roof structure was undertaken by builders who had no idea how to do such a project. You don't place a weight-bearing masonry wall that is holding up the roof on a ledge! I dont know if Porto has earthquakes but if it did, the roof would collapse as the wall disintegrated. I haven't donated any money because I think the structure of the roof is so unsound as to be unsafe. It needs to be taken down and rebuilt - properly, with engineered plans. And yes! That will be far more expensive but worth it. And while you are at it, use the space under the roof to be come a habitable space... with large windows looking out on the countryside..
With RUclips, you could film a whole new addition to the house being made, with proper builders and building practices. I think you could make a case for funding donations that will go towards rebuilding the house better than it was, with a roof structure that could withstand the appocalypse. Think bigger!
Ha ha: the apocalypse!
Not my meaning to be negative. Already enough negativity going on (😄).
But the US is not the same as Portugal or other countries. For what i know, in some aspects you have more freedom in the US, other aspects maybe less freedom to do as you want.
So rules on building are very strict in the US so it seems. And for a good reason of course. Also where i live in Northern Europe. In Portugal (Southern Europe) there are rules but in many cases not very strict or the rules are not followed. Portugal is great country but the state of some of the houses is terrible. Half build walls, collapsed roofs, many ruins here and there.
The wall built upon the top floor, the ledge is terrible yes, and scary. My idea at first was maybe put something under it to make the weight and pressure go into the outer wall. But in fact the only safe solution is to brake everything down, and start again.
About a new roof with big windows, a good idea. But that will bring you in trouble with the authorities. You would need a permit for that. Will take a long time, all the paperwork.
(the city of Lisbon , more to the south, had a big earthquake in 1755 fires broke out, and a tsunami came, and many people died, Porto now and then only small earthquakes no real damage i think).
I don’t think people are upset about you asking for donations We are all very sad to see how the builders have treated Karina Their work ethic is beyond shocking and we can all appreciate how upsetting this had been
I think the main issue is that you were disappointed at the amount raised
I think that your viewers have been extremely kind in donating and the last thing that we want to do is upset anyone
So please tell Karina that it was not our intention to upset her 😥😥😥❤
Try to ignore all the bad comments Jasper, keep doing what you're doing. Best wishes to You, Carina and Valentina.
I dissagree, you should value the negative as much as the positive. learn from it and the carry on, Life is not a bowl of cherries.
I didn't help because I can't help... have about $100 for the rest of the month... so if I can't afford to help myself then I can't afford help others
I think that goes for more of us, especially because Christmas is coming up and if one has to live on crums and scraps already, this is actually the hardest financial period of the year for everyone, so then even worse when you have to count every cent or already have to go to the food bank for help. 😢
I know statically that many followers are close to "24/7 TV watchers" and then not in a paid job. Retired or unemployment goes for many of us. It was hard before but as a result of corona and the ongoing war, inflation got sky high as well. Unfortunately, pensions and dole money are incomes that are not brought up anywhere near to the inflation rate. 😑 So, we are for sure many who would have loved to help out, but have no possibility. 💔❤️🩹❤️
I see the same situation in the charity that I have been running for 24 years now (totally voluntarily). We have been able to help so many starving families before, but since the coronatime the donations started to go downhill. Whilst the poverty went up like crazy here in Turkey and inflation maxed to 150%, Norwegians stopped donating du to the total financial situation. 😢 The thing is, at least 80% of those that always share their money with poor people have the lowest income themselves. They know how difficult life can be and realise that there are people that are even worse off than themselves. So they give what they see they have possibility for but I know that they then also cut into their own needs. 🙏😇 This is what I have seen over 24 years and there are some statistics about it as well. 🤗
I am also the type that feel guilty when there is no more help I possibly can give but we should not, I know. I just wish I could convince the people that earn millions, billions to be a bit more considerate, even when they come from "nothing" they stop seeing others that have nothing....🙄😔
I hope you will be able to manage on your $100 🙏 it is very hard, especially around the holidays. ❤❤
This is weird, I replied to this comment but it is not visible. 🤔 It counts the reply though and it is in my Saved comments. Why does this happen? Does YT block text even the content is not bad? 😮
Sending love hope your life gets better ❤️
@@sidselamundsen5051 YT is weird at times.
@@sidselamundsen5051 Yes. YT blocked my non-profane comment about Joe Rogan, but allows that creep to cuss and berate others to his heart's content.
Oh Jasper.. I’m so sorry that Carina is upset by all of those comments.. give her a hug from me..
The world is definitely fickle. I felt sure you would get to your goal, but obviously I can’t read the crowd either.
Yes I do find your videos entertaining.. especially since you started this channel..
You make me laugh, you make me cranky, I sometimes give you a lecture through the screen. I even enjoy your jokes and pranks(slurping) because you do it with humour.
Cheers friend, keep them coming..
Till tomorrow 🌺🌸🌺
Jasp, a lot of folks in Portugal are unaware of their legal rights. If Karina is Portuguese and her income is low, she can qualify for free legal aid through social security. If her income is a bit higher, she might have to pay a small monthly fee. However, the losing party in a lawsuit typically covers all legal costs. So, if Karina wins, the builder will have to pay her lawyer's fees. Don't let this slide, take it to court.
Yes, I agree, but as Jasper said, Portugal's laws are still in the dark ages; its all about money. If the builder has no money, who is going to pay? we are Dam, i donated 25 euro Thats my cup of coffee for the week😡
Just keep doing what you're doing. Haters are going to hate and its easy to sit back and criticize.
Hey, Jasper. I suppose getting into the world of RUclips is always going to get you some unwelcome comments. I don't think there's a single RUclipsr that I follow who hasn't been through exactly the same thing. You're a very direct guy who speaks his mind and, unfortunately, in some countries this might come across as a little aggressive (speaking as a Brit 😂). Fortunately, having been an English teacher to many many non-Brits, I've learned a lot about working with different nationalities and I know not to take offence. Go give Corrina a hug. ❤
You posted a video a couple of weeks ago saying that you make 90€ per hour.
Do you realize that’s more than what 99% of working people make.
I was totally taken aback by all the negative comments and even hate posts. Jasper did a genuine ask for help. Not for him self, but for Karina. No, it wasn’t very clever to pay up the total amount upfront, but what do we know. In less progressive countries like Portugal this is probably the way of the land and usually in good faith. This time it went sour unfortunately. For all the haters amongst you, move on and get a life. I contributed again and double the amount this time. This is my way of saying “Jasper, you don’t deserve all this sh*t. Please keep on making these enjoyable vlogs and don’t let it you and Katrina get down.
Jasper, when you put yourself out there, you are going to be knocked by some, and that is fair. You cannot, and you do not expect only positive results. yet the negative does hurt, especially when it is directed to someone meaningful to you. Here in Argetina things are just as crooked as they are in Potugal. You are expected to pay 100% of the work and then they dont appear. Karina´s story is common, that does not make it right. It is easy to say the right things, but that rarely gets you what you want. It is a bumpy road out there, and you simply have to do your best to traverse it. I wish both of you strength and endurance and also enjoy the fruits that you got from your followers. They may not be as many as you expected, but we are worth your time and energy. I can do without the slurping !! 😜
I agree with this message - except the slurping part.
Please don't compare Argentina with Portugal, who , in his absolute mind, pays e roof renovation work in advance?? Usually the customer buys materials and pays by the end of each week. I thought the house was from Carina's father. Was his fault?
Tell Corina don’t be upset this world has negative people I wish we could get rid of them plz your doing great . She adds alit to the videos this to should pass and be old news don’t put more weight into the negitive
Like your style in the videos. Sent a small donation. Hope many more can help out.
Jasper, I am the one who suggested that you call a lawyer. I didn't know about the laws of portugal. Thank you for clarifying I watch a lot of RUclips videos from people that have moved to portugal. Almost all are doing their own repairs to the places they bought. Some also talk about the high prices of building materials. Finding reliable workers is hard. I've seen not only in Karinas home but in other videos. I didn't mean to be negative. I thought I was trying to help.
Niks van aantrekken, jullie hebben elkaar. Als mensen willen helpen, oke. Dat gaat niemand wat aan. En zo niet ook goed.
People are jealous, remember the old saying, if you’ve got nothing nice to say keep it shut.
this is a good man he is trying to get everyone to help and he can create more videos amazing stuff come on and donate
Haters gonna hate. Keep Smiling Carina !!
Jasper, your channel, your family, your business, so many moaners no-one is being forced to contribute, contributors should do it from the heart... thankyou for your channel and God Bless you, Carina and Valentina...... Carina please ignore the negative attitude of others you and Valentina are beautiful ❤😊🌻💐
You don’t need to justify what you do or feel haters are going to hate no matter what. Carina is human like all of us so for those leaving hasty comments just remember she has feelings just like you. If you can’t say something nice **** OFF. Jasper is simply asking for some help from those that can afford it being disappointed is not a crime !
I am enjoying your content, keep up the good work, did a small contribution too
I sent money after you were disappointed because you made a good argument and I I know how carina must feel as negativity from others is a real downer and sadly does ruin sleep and enjoyment of life until you can move on. People need to consider the effects of their judgements.
I think the good thing about RUclips is that it is advertising for what you are doing. I assume you are working towards some project. Considering that vast eucalyptus wood resource available Portugal would be a great place for carpentry. I am going to make everything for my house myself. I would suggest looking at a lot of Japanese videos. An odd thing but I think we could have inland marinas. Truck the boats in. The cost of marina storage is horrific. I have a whole street in my village of empty houses surely they could be fixed up and used as holiday homes. When I lived on a canal boat I would pull up on a lonely section. Within two days a little community had developed around me. Nobody wants to be the first.
Too many content creators have unrealistic expectations
hi jasper been watching your videos since you started also your dailies, you are living my dream, but to old know and in bad health, but I enjoy all that you do, you should not take any notice of negative cranks, don't let them get you down
jasper your are hard working guy,l really enjoy your channel, the people who criticise need to trot on , as you said they should check out your other videos then they would understand the position caran’s in she has the baby to care for with no roof and all the damage that came with it,you can’t be in two places ,don’t let these people bug you both your a lovely couple keep fighting on much love xxx
Ohhhhh shit. Prople are acting like such babies!!! It seems like they donated and expected to have their asses kissed afterwards. I donated of my own free will with no expectations in return. What a bunch of hateful, snarkey, jealous babies. I completely understood what you said in the video, how can so many turn it out so negatively? Carina, i see you girl, i feel you, i know how you must feel right now. Youre a sweetheart, i dont need a big gushing session of thank you from you, i know you appreciate it. Try to rise above these whiney babies and their shitty attitude. Jasper, its ok, maybe this is weeding out the bad ones??? Also, ive seen several youtubers switch to daily videos lately, maybe its a suggestion from youtube? Dont worry, your sane viewers understood what you meant. My heart is breaking for you both to have to put up with this bullshit. ❤❤❤❤❤
Post a Revolut account and the donations will come faster
Jasper, every channel I have watched has their negative sometimes hurtful comments ! They are jealous or have a depressing life ! Ignore and keep making the videos 👍
ik hoop dat dit kleine beetje toch helpt om Carina te helpen de andere aannemer te betalen . Er zullen altijd wel mensen zijn die negatieve meningen hebben maar die weten niet beter dus jasper laat ze lullen en laat je niet gek maken ik geniet elke dag van je vlog
Jasper, I feel for Carina. I too think I would be upset at some of the negative comments.
Obrigado Jasper!!
Ich bin zu alt für Kindergeburtstag in den Kommentaren.
Unfälle können geschehen. Nach Hilfe fragen ganz normal.
Mach weiter mit deinen Videos. Sponsoren, Werbung und der ganze Rest wird auch noch kommen. Lasst euch von niemandem ärgern. Und vertraut niemandem.
Grüße aus dem Saarland.
Jasper you look sad so sorry that People are being so nasty they need to get a life you are only trying to Help Corina. 😞💙
Scripture teaches us to "Love one another." By Helping others we are fulfilling the following commandment as is written in The Holy Bible. "A new commandment I give unto you: That you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another." [John 13:34]
Do you want my bank account number? You can help me too. (sorry just joking..
I'm okay) .
I enjoy your channel thank you for everything you do ! Stuff the haters
Subscribed. Every RUclips channel I follow has some negative people that need to vent about something or other and that says more about them than the FREE content they do not have to watch....it seems so simple but I guess not.
words fail me. it saddens me all the negative comments. jasper gives us so much on a daily basis and its all free. i have had friends that have tried youtube and havent had a great success with it as you need extremely high numbers of subscribers and you need those subscribers to click on the like button. this is FREE TO US but will generate an income ONLY IF there are 1000's of people. but lots of people view but dont click on the thumbs up button and that along with sponsors is how money is made, jasper as we all know rarely does a sponsor and like i said if you look at the number of views to the number of thumbs ups there are you will see a vast difference, as views will always be higher. its sad that people have personally had a go at carina, she is already upset by the roofers and doesnt deserve being called out. there are lots of people ive watched on other channels that dont like to be filmed that is there choice and no one bullys them so WHY SO YOU FEEL ITS ACCEPTABLE TO DO IT TO CARINA ? SHAME ON YOU !!. and as for the person who wants his donation back. the amount of help jasper has asked for is miniscule when you think of all the big charities that ask for donations, out of those by the time the fat cats has been paid very little goes to the charities, ALL of what jasper is trying to raise is for carina and valentina. it sadens me that people can be so unkind when all that is being asked is KINDNESS. if you cant be kind then best not to say anything as the saying goes. my heart goes out to you @ jasper, carina and sweet valentina
I just donated because I appreciate that you continue to just be yourself even if many commenters don't like it. So many youtubers pander to an audience and you can tell. I'm not sure how much in dollars my euro donation amounts to but I hope it helps. I'll look up the conversion.
I notice that several people through time believe that RUclips is a huge income. It is, for those who have videos that are viewed a LOT. Meaning 100.000++++++ Even if you once have one video like that, you are not earning much unless you get more videos like those. To have a steady income you should have minimum 100.000 subscribers, post frequently with lots of views. Those who are most successful are quite young people with content that is not interesting for me, but teenagers go crazy over them.
RUclips earns on advertisements and they share the earnings based on views.
This business is like any other business, only a handful gets rich from it, a small group can live on the income but most people do it because they like to document what they enjoy to do... and of course many hope to make an income out of it but it is much harder than many viewers seem to think. And a lot more work, too. 😉
Jasper, I watch many with 2 or more channels that link them with the heading i.e. "My other Channel". (It show like the round icon to click for entering a channel). They do this to get more viewers in both/all channels.
Since you mostly do the smallest channel now, maybe it is an idea to do this linking? 😉
Firstly I would like to say bravo to you for posting this video and calling out those people. I can't believe these people that sit in front of their computers hiding themselves and saying negative comments. We all know there are nasty people out there and this has shown some of them. I've been following your videos from day one and enjoy them and your sense of humour, I will continue watching them. There is that old saying, "If you have nothing good to say then don't say anything". I have donated on GoFundMe and I am proud that I can help in my small way. These people have a lack of compassion.
Jasper hope your well. I'm disabled and not rich. I've sent €6 £5. For the two young ladys.
Anyway when you are rendering. We use floats scratch coat then top coat. Like plastering. Does that not work in Portugal. I just wondered. Let's get back to having fun 😊
Thank you! We will
I love viewing your videos. I rather watch your daily videos than watch the news. Keep them coming.
Your vids are great Jasper....Ignore the haters x
Carina shares Jasper with the rest of us, it's hard for her. Have you ever had a blended family where you wanted someone all to yourself but needed to everyday be reminded that you need to share? It's not easy. Jasper could exchange the two hours of making videos each day with spending time with Carina and Valentina.
Why oh why do content creators think all their hard work simply Must solve such huge problems. You may be working long hours filming but you dont have an employment contract..so get real Jasper
i feel some people here have such little objectivity. This is a wonderful channel. And to create something like this takes a lot of thought, practical application and above all; Time.. It makes my day, everyday of the week. Life is a two way street and I've come to think of you guys as a part of my life now and I reckon you feel something similar from all of us subscribers. I'd miss you if you weren't able to continue. I would stick my hand in my pocket to help out any of my friends and by extension, helping you guys felt like a natural thing to do. I'd rather help here than pump money into Netflix. I genuinely believe the daily Vlog is the right format despite the time consuming work you put in. Dropping even a small donation is money well spent IMHO. Theres a passion so clearly expressed by you and karina, J. This is a channel about sharing your life and that includes your feelings, not a sanitised version. I could feel the hate coming as soon as you started discussing how disappointed you were feeling and I have to admit it made me recoil a little, but only because it was out of the 'norm' for this kind of content. But then I thought 'No', this man is publicly displaying a rare authenticity and I respect you for that mate. Keep going plugging the donations you're nearly there 7k and rising. All the Best to you all, much love. xxx
Great post we feel the same.👏👏👏
Once ppl on RUclips start asking for “help” it never ends..
Don't think this is the case.
Jasper keep doing you buddy, I've seen all your videos, your always positive even when things go wrong. Love the content, I will keep donating when I can. Forget the trolls and forget the negative people. We will get to goal... Let's go...
I love your videos I missed the part to help can u tell us how to do it again . Keep it up
There was nothing wrong with you asking or expressing your disappointment. I wish I could donate but can't. I do hope she gets what she needs done to her house. She had put a lot of work into her home to have it destroyed by a scammer. I hope she an sue them and get her money back. Karina seems like a very shy person. She has been a great asset to you and I can see how happy you have become with her in your life.
