I loved reading this! That converse and flannel look is so accurate and so vivid. I think what’s making me have the most intense whiplash is just how quickly the pendulum swings these days, from one end to the next - in a matter of seasons (if that). I also wonder how the exorbitant rates on rent these days will affect these types of migrations.

Maybe it already is? I assume that the relatively cheap rent/real estate in places like Montana is what makes a lot of "tradwife" content possible.

I had no idea what to expect going in and I really enjoyed reading this. I only got into YouTube a couple of years ago interestingly enough so this was a cool distillation of what a huge part of the platform was (and I'd argue still is, especially in South Africa minus the content houses)
