Yeah that was kind of the vibe I got from the video as well. You can tell this is like a really big hit to Scotty's ego because honestly I will say he was probably the most proactive vlog squad member But none of his business ventures really kind of went anywhere *shrug* his YouTube career fizzled out, his budding music career fizzled out, his multiple attempts at podcast weren't successful And not to mention, probably a bunch of bad investments somewhere down the line.
That shit has got to suck/ be depressing as hell especially when the majority of everybody else in your friend group is doing financially well (David, Ilya, Jason, Heath, Zane, hell even Joe.) And something tells me he absolutely did not want to move back into his childhood home because he would feel like that was a step going backwards. Meanwhile, I feel like Jac's mentality was just like let's get a place with reduced rent So they can save up money and that's still somewhat close to Los Angeles.
Although I'm pretty sure that's just putting a Band-Aid on the situation. I feel like the only money he really gets these days is probably from Snapchat/ onlyfans. He's going to have to get real serious about his prospects soon.
