So over the past few weeks I have come to realize something since I started my YouTube career. This world is never going to change their angered and rude ways. Not because people make them change or that people are told they have to do this in order to change. This world is never going to change because of the way we are either taught or the way we teach others. Now before everyone gets confused as to why I am writing this, please let me explain.

I write and shoot YouTube videos because it makes me happy. I show my fun and compassionate side in those videos and show it through my writing. Yet some people say ‘you have to know this stuff all ready in order to make it on YouTube’ or ‘you are new to the game? your videos won’t make it on YouTube’ and I just have to chuckle at these people. Why? Very simple answer. Those are the people that were either never taught respect or they just don’t know what it is like on my end of the game. It is the same way in life in general. Sometimes people just go and automatically make assumptions about someone without getting to know them, and that just gets my blood to boil sometimes.

I get upset sometimes that people don’t want to take the time to get to know other people. Especially on YouTube when people make rude and hateful comments on videos. I was recently on Twitter to see if I had new followers and talk about everything like I normally do when I came across a tweet about someone wanting to just give up because of this very thing I speak of. It makes me upset to see someone working so hard to find his or herself, to only have that get taken from people because you don’t know something about this other thing.

People on YouTube have enough confidence to want to learn something, and take you along for the ride. Yet those hateful comments that we as YouTuber’s read sometimes makes us not want to do videos sometimes. We take the time out of our busy lives in order to make content that we find fun and awesome for you the viewer. Same with writing, podcasting, filming and so many other things. People have confidence to sit and put their personality out there for you the viewer, reader or listener. Before you go and make those hateful comments, please oh please ask and get to know someone. Maybe they are new to an entire world this game is about and they want to learn. Or maybe they are new to a style of writing and want to know where it came from. Before you the reader, watcher or listener makes a rude comment be mindful that these are humans just like you. Just like you we have feelings and emotions as well.

Now I know this may seem rant like, but people recently have attacked fellow YouTuber’s and I want to put my opinion out there for the world to see. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
