The married couple clarified that it’s not a permanent goodbye, and they will still upload videos occasionally. The two also assure their fans that they’ll keep in touch on social media. Many Reddit users feel bad for what Allie had to witness online, while others are glad that Alyssa is stepping away from the cruel online world.

“I mean finally, she should have never put them on YouTube in the first place.”
“I doubt Allie is seeing any comments. The way they control what the kids are exposed to I don’t see them allowing her to roam the internet. No, it’s that THEY are seeing the criticism of the way they treat her and how we can see Allie is sad in her loveless and colorless existence.”
“I also don’t buy that Allie is reading comments. Alyssa and John never reply anyway. They can’t handle and critique.”
“And the fact that she felt the need to say that they’re a fun family that does fun things together means that they are not.”
“Im glad theyre reducing their internet presence. Better late than never.”
