So, I started seeing stuff about ‘Jared and Savannah’ popping up here and there a while back. Didn’t really pay much attention at first, you know how it is, just another couple online doing their thing.
But then, I think it was a rainy Saturday, I was just clicking around, ended up watching one of their videos. Can’t even remember what it was about exactly, maybe some travel vlog or a DIY thing they were attempting. It wasn’t anything groundbreaking, honestly. Just felt kinda… real? Less polished than a lot of the stuff you see.
My First Impressions
They seemed pretty down-to-earth. Messed things up sometimes in their videos, laughed about it. That kind of caught my eye. It wasn’t the usual super-perfect influencer vibe. I watched a couple more that afternoon.
What Kept Me Watching (For a Bit)
- They did this series on fixing up an old camper van. That was interesting to me because I’d been thinking about doing something similar, on a much smaller scale obviously.
- I tried following one of their ‘simple’ DIY projects once. Let’s just say mine didn’t turn out quite like theirs. Ended up with more glue on my hands than on the actual project.
- It felt like watching regular folks navigate stuff, the good and the bad.
I followed them for maybe six months? Watched most of their uploads. It was decent background noise while I was working on my own stuff, cooking dinner, whatever. Sometimes I’d pick up a little tip, mostly it was just observing their process.
Where Things Shifted
After a while, though, things started to feel a bit different. Maybe they got bigger, more popular, I don’t know. The videos started feeling more staged, more… produced. The ‘realness’ I first liked seemed to fade a bit. It happens, right? People evolve, channels change direction.
It wasn’t a sudden thing, just a gradual drift. I found myself clicking on their videos less and less. The camper van series finished, and the newer stuff just didn’t grab me the same way. It started feeling more like standard ‘content creator’ fare rather than just two people sharing their journey.
So, I eventually just stopped keeping up. No big drama, I just moved on. Found other things to watch, other projects to get inspired by. It was an interesting phase, watching them figure things out and kinda grow online. Reminded me that sometimes the initial, rougher stages of anything are the most relatable.
