Description
Typo correction: Mommy Rhea and I are both 45 years old this year (2026). No, not 46 years old.
In 2015: Our channel ranked #41 for the most viewed channel on YouTube worldwide.
Everything was superb, until they sabotaged our channel in the late 2017.
A decade+ ago, our channel was the biggest deal about family toy unboxing videos. My family and I started the raw and unscripted family toy unboxing videos/channel.
You don't believe me? Go and google Hulyan and Maya on the news.
Everything got so big and it came to the point, where media and toy corporations (including YouTube) wanted to take control of our channel and our lives.
They wanted to hold the streering wheel and control where our lives and channel will turn and head to.
I said, "No!"
I said, "No!" to everyone and to everybody.
No, I didn't want them to tell me what to do and how to do videos with my kids on them.
I didn't want my kids to work for them.
I uploaded and continue to upload videos, not for money, but for family nostalgic memories.
In 2015:
ABS-CBN Kapamilya channel in Redwood, California, reached out to us.
They wanted to do a talk show about toy unboxing and family activities, and yes, they wanted us to be the star of the show.
I declined.
Reasons:
1. I didn't want to move to Redwood, California.
2. I didn't want my children to work.
In the month of November of the year 2017: They sabotaged our channel. They derailed the algorithm of our channel and it went downhill from there.
More than a hundred of our most popular uploaded videos mysteriously got demonitized.
Our channel never recovered and they eventually shut down our monetization program with YouTube.
My insight: They sabotaged our channel, because I didn't and never cooperated with them.
