YouTube couple Jatie Vlogs explain why they pulled breakup prank on fans YouTube: Jatie VlogsYouTuber couple Josh Brueckner and Katie Betzing played a prank on their fans on March 21 about breaking up, but were met with backlash and mass downvotes. Now, they\u2019ve explained why they did it. Jatie Vlogs sent their near two million YouTube fans into a tizzy after \u2018announcing\u2019 they were breaking up, after proposing in November 2019 and recently moving in together. The 10-minute video played on fan\u2019s emotions, although it led to a barrage of downvotes \u2014 over 43,000 as of March 24 \u2014 from the wider community. After the mixed response to the video, the couple issued a statement, in the form of a behind the scenes video, saying that while they are apologetic over people being upset, they believed it was what their fans wanted. \u201cIf you were upset, I\u2019m sorry. A lot of you guys wanted this and we just wanted to do what you guys wanted,\u201d said Betzing. \u201cWe hope you guys take this lightly because it wasn\u2019t meant to be too serious.\u201d \u201cWith that being said\u2026you probably hate us right now for pranking you,\u201d added Brueckner. \u201cWe\u2019re sure you guys have sent so much love our way right now, and we appreciate guys for being so supportive.\u201d The couple have spent a lot of time indoors with the recent lockdowns happening across the world, seeing their fans\u2019 reactions to pranks they\u2019ve done in the past. With that in mind, the YouTubers wanted to give back to their community in a way they haven\u2019t done before by playing a little joke on them. \u201cWe just posted our empty house tour video, they\u2019re all expecting the moving in video \u2014 let\u2019s mess with them,\u201d Betzing said. \u201cLet\u2019s move in together, and kind of \u2018take a break.\u2019\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s fun to prank you guys. You watch us prank each other, our friends, our family \u2014 you watch us prank everybody, so it\u2019s about time you guys got pranked,\u201d added Brueckner. As for the critics who say the two videos \u2014 which have amassed over 4 million views combined and are on YouTube\u2019s Trending list \u2014 were a ploy to rake in views, they\u2019ve dismissed them entirely. The couple maintains their focus was entirely on their fanbase and what they\u2019ve been asking for, and there was no malice intended. In fact, Betzing stated again it was what their fans had asked for. \u201cYou can, clear as day, see the comments that were like \u2018prank us\u2019 \u2014 [our fans] have been begging us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
