Standing behind to support Bà Tân Vlog’s rise as an internet phenomenon, the name Hung Vlog – Bà Tân’s son is gradually catching the attention of the online community. In the past, every time Hung’s video was released, many people eagerly anticipated it. What impressed viewers about Hung from the start was his authentic and down-to-earth storytelling style. However, recently, his channel has been facing a wave of criticism with unconstructive comments. Viewers feel that Hung Vlog has lost the “quality” it had when he first started on YouTube, even being criticized for overacting and being inappropriate.
While the clips inviting Bà Tân to eat lobster, Alaska crab, or ostrich and crocodile meat were recognized as being considerate towards his mother, the clips where he trolls his mother have received less positive feedback.
A few days ago, Hung Vlog unexpectedly became the center of attention when he uploaded a brand new clip still with the theme “testing his mother’s love.” But this time, it was not the usual pranks; Hung Vlog pretended to be ill with a prop—a cloth soaked in red dye—to test his mother’s reaction. Many long-time viewers of Hung Vlog would recognize that this video of his had appeared on social media earlier.
“Wait, I’ve seen this before. Are you re-uploading it?”, “Is this really out of ideas?”, “Out of pranks, so you have to re-upload a video, right Hung?”… are some of the feedback from netizens. However, a few other opinions suggest that perhaps the old clip was hidden or had issues, which is why the male YouTuber re-uploaded it. But overall, using health matters to test the feelings of family members is not acceptable at all.
According to recent statistics from Social Blade, the annual income of Hung Vlog’s channel is estimated to reach up to $2.5 million (approximately 58 billion VND). Although Bà Tân Vlog has more subscribers, her revenue is only around 30 billion VND. Additionally, the channels “Hau Troll” and “Thanh Luong Vlogs” of Bà Tân’s son and daughter have also been recognized by viewers as surpassing 100 thousand subscribers. Therefore, it can be considered that Bà Tân Vlog’s family has become a YouTube ecosystem with massive income.
