Monetizing Your Relationship

I think Ben is using Christine for sure. I mean look at him, he clearly loves all the free nail polish he gets from halo taco.

Ben has never called Cristine's main channel "our channel" and that's why he's the only YouTube boyfriend I'm never suspicious of. 💅💅

The big thing with Prank VS Prank also was that they were also uploading daily vlogs. I remember Jesse saying that it got to a point that he would do nice things for Jeana (buying flowers, doing surprises etc.) that he only did for the views, and not because he genuinely wanted to make her happy. Having to come up with clickable video concepts, putting on a happy face everyday and pretending you have the perfect relationship as a CAREER is insanely straining. I think that’s why relationships like Ben & Christine, Jenna & Julien, Safiya & Tyler etc. Aren’t overly impacted by YouTube. These couples have spaces outside of YouTube where they allow themselves to properly care for their relationship without audiences viewing and speculating.

cristine and Ben as well as jenna and julien are the realist and funniest yt couples. no clickbait or any fake bs, that's why I love them. also I would love for both couples to collab. Edit: I forgot to mention Corinne and Rob from threadbanger and safiya and Tyler!

Love to see two adults talk about their relationship and insecurities in a respectful, tactful, adult way. The openness and communication that's being had is inspiring! Thank you for sharing! This channel is getting me through quarantine!

No one else can be a proper Menchie perch, so Beynnnn isn't going anywhere.

I think the reason why I like watching their relationship so much is because they remind me of my parents. They love each other so much and they have fun together. I mean Ben and Cristine, jenna and julien, and my parents have really shown me what type of relationship I want in life. It’s really great that there are people like that online who show an example of a healthy relationship

This is the first I've seen of simply pod logical and I was not prepared to see Cristine in a video without the whole simplynailogical shenanigans... but I'm here for it

I think thats the biggest difference between Cristine as an influencer and other influencers. We've seen other influencers monetize on a so called "reality" that doesn't exist to gain children's attention. But those same influencers have grown and faded away as they either get canceled, grow tired and unhappy from the skewed reality they've built, or lose viewership and fans as soon their followers start to grow up and grow uninterested. Cristine, though, has managed her channel on her own basis. She does what she loves while also providing an entertaining personality, and heres the biggest thing, she hasn't lied about who she is or what she does. The Cristine and Ben we see in videos are exactly that, 2 adults who have real emotions and actions and real thoughts and a real presence rather than the fake actions and personalities other influencers have played on. See, that is exactly why Cristine is now one of the biggest stars of YouTube and probably the most loved (amid others like the amazing Jennamarbles of course). Seeing two amazing, kind, intelligent, and amazing human beings is refreshing and incites a care within us as we watch people actually treat their fans like other human beings while we're often treated as just boxes filled with potential money. That's also why her fanbase ranges from different ages, she appeals to every kind of viewer (though mostly dominateed by females, yassss sisters). And c'mon whats not to love about their cats? Anyways, BUY CRISTINES MERCH WOOP

Is it weird that I like these videos more than the main channel one? Your voices are soothing and it’s like good radio

Not to be weird or anything... but when I first saw Ben on Christines channel I thought he was handsome and they made a great looking couple but I never said anything because I thought " eh who cares what I think " ... I wish the rude/negative keyboard bullies had that same mindset so they could keep that negativity to themselves.

AAWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!! 1:16 when Cristine says "......I love you"

Man I wish my real parents' relationship was as healthy and positive as that of my Internet parents

Ben, it’s probable that some of them were saying “omg I can’t believe that’s her boyfriend” but from the comment you showed (“ I’ll jump off a cliff”) sounds more like someone who had a crush on Cristine and was disappointed she isn’t single? Idk, just a thought on that specific comment

lolol bf vs gf and prank vs prank were the same xouple XD

Holo there! You both are one of the few mature yet funny couple out there who inspire people to achieve their goals. You both just seem to be perfect!!!

Words can hurt so much.. even after such a long time Ben remembers how he felt at the time he read that comment. Why are people so mean?!

You usually don't make the videos about your life. You shared snippets of your life you shared or experiences you had, but never your life. You never painted a narrative of your life. And I think that it is really good.

Holo there Cristine I would like to warn you that autocorrect is evil because it tried to autocorrect your name to Christine.

Who hurt dad!?!
