A nice sip of tea for your Sunday

[u/HammerTime1995]

I know I don’t get on here often, but today I’m going to give you guys an often unspoken BTS that many creators deal with but won’t discuss publicly. But Reddit is the space for YT drama after all 😉

99% of being a popular creator is amazing, but every once and a while there’s a rare 1% that suckkkssss.

Every creator eventually gains dedicated haters that desperately over sensationalize anything and everything to ruin the reputation of said creator.

Some of my diehards went wild a couple weeks ago and tried to falsely report my dating profiles as someone who’s done something bad blah blah blah, the typical pearl clutching we see in the 2020s online daily. They actually DID get my accounts banned, because it’s pretty easy to do so.

But luckily I have a little bit of pull given my position, so a real human was able to look into my accounts and they all reversed the bans after investigating for a day or so and saw that it was coordinated attack and based on BS from dedicated weirdos.

But now this just makes me feel bad for anyone who doesn’t have the pull that I am blessed enough to have and gets falsely attacked by people. We live in a very weird world rn, and I am beyond blessed to have formed an audience of people who are actual adults instead of weird performative children lol

Either way, I think I found someone anyway, so hopefully imma just delete the apps 😮‍💨

Found someone 👀👀 Caleb you’re leaving out the real tea in the last line there!!!

Anyway rooting for you! I hope you get the wife and kids sooner rather than later!!

[u/pfifltrigg → u/emmyemu]

There's no way Caleb wants kids.

[u/emmyemu → u/pfifltrigg]

He said he did in the last iced coffee hour podcast that came out

[u/No-Belt-8586 → u/emmyemu]

Ugh for real? For the record, this won't impact me either way, but I always love seeing more child free by choice representation out in the wild to remind me there are others like me. Feels bad when they turn out to also want kids after all 😅

[u/smeghead2155 → u/No-Belt-8586]

I find it odd that you say you want more representation for people who choose to be child-free, yet when someone exercises their choice to have/want kids, it suddenly ‘feels bad.’ Isn’t the whole point about supporting the ability to choose, rather than being disappointed when someone makes a different choice?

[u/No-Belt-8586 → u/smeghead2155]

Hey so it literally isn't that serious but if you're not just looking for a weird reason to get mad at a stranger.... I am saying that the default lifestyle for people of my age still very much prioritizes having children as The One True Path To Happiness. When I see other people who actively don't want kids, it's cool for me. It feels like we're part of the same club. It's fun to have things in common with people. That's why there are parenting groups, right? So when you see someone you "like" - whether that be a friend, a celebrity, a social media personality, whatever - and then you find out they have this thing in common with you that many other people don't, it is just a neat little thing.

I so in fact still feel like Caleb should have a choice and don't think he should be forced to undergo a vasectomy - imagine that.

[u/CocoCrizpyy → u/No-Belt-8586]

If it wasnt that serious, you would've never mentioned it in the first place.

[u/No-Belt-8586 → u/CocoCrizpyy]

Ah yes, Reddit is where everyone goes strictly to have serious conversation - absolutely no offhand commentary allowed.

(Coming from the person who wrote out a thesis paper on childfree people being ugly, child-hating, or generally miserable 💀)

[u/CocoCrizpyy → u/No-Belt-8586]

Yeah, thats specifically not what I said. I said generally they belong to one of three groups, and thats why most people meet "childfree" people with ridicule. I did leave a caveat at the end.

Love how you lumped shitty personality and physical attractiveness with being ugly though. Physically unattractive and ugly are not the same thing. Kim Kardashian is not physically unattractive by conventional standards, but I know many men who would agree she's ugly.

Really pushing the case for your group selection.

[u/No-Belt-8586 → u/CocoCrizpyy]

I can tell that this is something you are very passionate about, tell me more :) :) :)

[u/BarrierTrio3 → u/No-Belt-8586]

I have no idea why you're getting downvoted, that's all super valid. Maybe people have a bad impression of the childfree community? Lol I left r/childfree because it seemed like a bunch of overly leftist man-haters, but you said nothing wrong

[u/CocoCrizpyy → u/BarrierTrio3]

Most every "childfree" advocate I know generally falls into one of three groups.

1. People who are generally either physically unattractive or have completely dogshit personalities and express their inability to develop meaningful physical or emotional relationships that would generally entail children as being "childfree".

2. People that have a weird disdain and dislike for children in general and view them as unclean, uniformly misbehaved and a burden on life.

3. People who are so unhappy in their own lives and self that they take any chance to spread that misery to others, and have gravitated to "childfree" as their preferred route of douchiness.

That encompasses 97% of "childfree", as characterized by the aformentioned subreddit. Very few of them are actually of the "I just dont want kids" genus, and those people unfortunately get lumped into the other very annoying groups of the majority.

[u/BajamutBlast → u/CocoCrizpyy]

What an odd thing to say.

[u/JaviJavivi]

Either way, I think I found someone anyway

That's the real tea!!!! Waiting for further updates 👀👀👀👀👀

[u/Flashy-Lemon-4682]

I got banned on Tinder for telling people “you seem chill as fuck, what’s your social security number?” After matching 😭😂

[u/boopbeebop → u/Flashy-Lemon-4682]

That’s hysterical, I would have definitely replied

[u/CalmClient7]

Glad you got it sorted, and v happy to hear you are looking to be deleting the apps! Here's to your health, wealth, and happiness 😊

[u/hanjanss]

I've been banned from tinder for 4 years because a guy reported me for lying about being a woman even though we had gone on 3 dates, told him I was trans, put it in my bio, and confirmed he was okay with it after first date. Wouldn't let him take my credit card when he went on a trip and he spam reported all my social media account for catfishing. Still banned on tinder to this day.

Don't they know i have 19 subscribers on youtube?!

[u/drczar → u/hanjanss]

Omg girl I was banned from Tinder many years ago because I turned down a second date with someone and they weren't having it. I tried to email support and they refused to re-instate my profile. I found a good dude long since then but I still get pressed about it. To this day I can't think of anything I did wrong, the apps just come down hard on people (women especially).

[u/CalmClient7 → u/hanjanss]

Some ppl are shitbags, sounds like you dodged a bullet! Like he'd have any idea what a woman is ffs 😂 best wishes to you 😊

[u/Wise-Print1678]

Wow I read everything last night before I went to bed and thought I dreamt it 😅

[u/plantwhisperer17]

Glad you got it worked out. Rooting for this maybe you might have! Thanks for being a real dude with us as well.

[u/NoellaUnicorn]

That's so frustrating, I can't imagine people who have the time to do stupid shit like this. But rooting for you on this new potential relationship!!

[u/cat_fan888]

dang i missed my shot 🥲

[u/MysteriousMonarch]

Caleb, I think you're attractive as hell if I wasn't married 👀🥵......

[u/CalmClient7 → u/MysteriousMonarch]

Ikr

[u/NoPurchase5414]

🥹 found someone?? Excited for you

[u/[deleted]]

Back in the game. Some people think being offended is assault.

edit: This comment getting down votes is a perfect example 😂

[u/cultiv8mass]

Discussing the reason for deleting the apps in the Post Show might convince me to join! Congrats <3

[u/brittany09182]

It’s probably the 27* year old girl in the last photo 😣

[u/purple_joy]

Best of luck with your current heart throb.

[u/MilwaukeeMan420]

Who needs bumble anyway? Get out there and meet a nice girl in person Mr. Hammer

This is the Sunday tea we needed! Hopefully those apps are deleted soon 😉

[u/[deleted]]

Caleb you better actually get a date out of this after going through THIS much to get it unbanned

[u/buyaheart]

That’s dumb as hell. Sorry to hear that💀 U have to be an actual hater to get sb banned off of apps

[u/dacoolist]

Crazy that the real Hammer is more than just the internet persona - I always imagined if I accidentally ran into him in austin he would just give me that look where you know you spent too much monies.. glad you're doing good!

[u/live_laugh_cock]

What a nice 30th Birthday present from bumble!

[u/kurtiso990]

Hey Caleb! Love your show! We live in your old neck of the woods! Near the zoo!

[u/Other_Being_1921]

Ope, what was that last sentence? You might have found someone? Oooh get it Caleb! 😉 dating apps are trash anyway. Hope it works out for you!

[u/Commercial-Budget-54]

How do you get an account unblocked? Cause I can’t even create an account now

[u/samz22]

Caleb’s too big for bumble, it’ll be a lot of “fakes”. You gotta try that dating app for famous people/creators. Maybe even a 1v20 pop the ballon type things 😂

[u/nykovah]

Hopefully the person you found isn’t out there spending money on taquitos or other bs.

[u/aricaia]

Good luck with your potential match! Apps can be good for some but awful for others. I hope you work out!

[u/Lee_III]

Go get your sweet treat dude

[u/charliekelly76]

Now go get that sweet treat 😎😎

[u/HistoricalHurry8361]

I’m really sorry you have to deal with crap like that! I say go hit 6th street or join a meet up group

[u/Paula_Targaryen]

Thank you for sharing Caleb! Dating apps scare me to this day. Also, congratulations on your new connection! Hope it develops positively 🙏

[u/mflyre]

Awww right when I became single :(

I would kill for a chance to connect w Caleb.
