    i unsubscribed to you about a year ago (after subscribing in 2013) because i didn't like your content, it seemed forced, scripted and just not fun to watch. but then i watched the video you did wearing the plastic jeans (bc it was recommended) and you're right, it is naturally funny and it didn't feel fake or look fake at all, so i am now resubscribed. i hope you continue creating content that you enjoy because it really does show and makes it way more enjoyable to watch

    I really love these videos. Being able to understand your feelings just connects you and the viewers so much more. Most people on UA-cam don't talk to their audience at such a personal level, and that's why I always watch your content. It's almost like you're a friend talking to us. And we stick around for you and your content. Whatever you choose to do, I'll still be here and will go to your concerts (excited for the ones coming up) Always make videos that make you happy because that's the most important thing :)

    This video is really eye opening to UA-camrs and I have a feeling I will be coming back to this again in the future. I hate how easy it is to get caught up in numbers and algorithms, especially when you go full time. Really glad to hear that you're finally enjoying making videos again :) It hit me when you talked about your hypothetical last year of UA-cam and wasting time making things you don't like when you could do videos you enjoy. Your happiness should ALWAYS come first. Thanks for your honesty

  • @ViennaDarlingvd
    @ViennaDarlingvd 7 років тому +9

    You know, I loved your comedy videos but what really, really made me a huge fan was when you described what depression felt like and I finally realized that was what I had. It was still a long road to figuring everything out but I'm in a much, much better place now, and you really helped that. No matter what you do I think it will be good :)

    Hi Emma, I've been watching you since late 2012, since then all my other favorite youtubers I've outgrown watching or they have quit or been outed as some kind of horrible person. You, on the otherhand, are still one of my favorite people to watch, you were back then and you still are now. I'm 19 now and I feel like I've grown with you in a way. :)

    wow this was a really great video emma! i'm just 15 and i want to do something creative as my job when i grow up and this gave me a lot to think about. i kind of feel similar in the sense of not caring anymore. i'm in 9th grade at the moment, going to highschool, preparing for exams and everything. since i have had depression for a really long time, i was homeschooled this year. this helped me get over my depression, but i didn't do good at school anymore at all like i used to. i WILL finish 9th grade this year but it's been a real struggle. this year has been the hardest year of my school-life, but you know what. i have not been this happy for years. there is so much insecurity in my life at the moment and so much mess, but im so so happy because i dont tie my happiness to my "success" anymore. it's so weird how when i did amazing at school, had pretty much A's and B's only, i was the most depressed i have ever been and now that i can barely manage to finish school, i am thriving. i just kind of came to this realization of like, what the fuck am i stressing out about? i have no control over anything that life is gonna throw at me so the best i can do is to just roll with it and go with the flow.
    i really like these videos on this channel and im happy that you're happier than you were before

    I don't comment much on UA-cam... So hi there, Emma--I'm a creeper who watches often & has been around for the ride for a good few years now. But yeah. I just wanted to drop in & say that I fucking love seeing your growth alongside my own as we both trudge along in 'young adulthood'. I feel for & relate to how you see the world & how you're constantly making such an effort to interpret your brain. And seeing it documented in how you word your views & experiences really helps me sift through my own stuff. You're so talented, and so eloquent, & you're just a really amazing person I feel from watching your videos. It's the rawness & the ability to just try in every video you put out. I find it so fascinating (not to make you sound like a lab rat e_e)... but basically, I'm grateful to be a viewer who can sip on spiked flavored water here, unwinding from work, listening to your brain vomit out thoughts. Keep on keepin' on. I'll just be here watchin' microphone vids, vlogs, music videos, and anything & err'thang you throw at me. XD

    The exact same thing happened with my instagram. In 2014 My instagram went from 1000 followers to 9000 (a lot for me) and I was absolutely obsessed. I would feel depressed every time I lost a follower. I felt so jealous when people gained followers faster than me. Fast forward 2 years.. for the past year I have bee loosing about 100 followers a month. And I don't even care anymore, because now I'm posting photos that make me happy and not ones that so basic and boring and just look like everyone else's... even if it did make me 'successful'

      If I unsubscribe somebody, it is when they release (again) video I don't like. If they don't upload, I have no reason to unsubscribe, because there is no unsatisfying content uploaded. Maybe others behave same way.

    • @ThatGirlWithTheCoffee
      @ThatGirlWithTheCoffee 7 років тому +10

      Sometimes I don't realise I'm still subscribed to someone until they upload after a few years, and I don't like their new content. But there's others that upload every once in a while that come up in suggestions, and I go "why am I not subscribed to that?" Even if it's not daily or weekly

    • @hantheloser
      @hantheloser 7 років тому +15

    doing what will make you want unapologetically seems like one of the hardest things to be able to do so I'm impressed that you've gotten there. I'm currently in year 12 thinking about what ill do at uni and its strange because I'll look at a course and think well I'm smarter than that course and should do something more and am genuinely considering becoming a doctor because I am capable but I know it wouldn't make me happy, the pressure to please is always there

    This video was such a blessing. The other day, I filmed a week's worth of daily videos in a single sitting, and I wasn't able to articulate why. I think you've hit the nail on the head for a lot of creators out there.

  • @meiderique
    @meiderique 7 років тому

    I am so happy that you can find some joy back into this thing you are doing! I think that when something forces you to change, it can sometimes be exactly what you need in order to figure out for yourself what is it that you want! as someone who has been around since your first videos started blowing up, it's just so nice to see you grow and smile honestly, and I can truly glimpse that passion you were talking about.
    A bit of a different situation, but I was putting off making youtube videos because I felt my content wouldn't be "viral worthy"/relatable/funny/interesting enough, which in the end just held me back from growing as a person and as a creator. Taking that leap is so scary, but I'm super proud of you.
    gonna end the ramble comment here, BUT... Definitely looking forward to watching your new content :) Rock on, Emma, rock on.

    I completely understand what you mean. I was the same way with school. I liked drawing and photography, but as soon as I was being graded on my work, I hated it. I wasn't even interested in doing those things in my spare time. Now that I don't have to worry about being graded, I can enjoy doing them for fun again because the pressure is gone.
    I'm glad you're enjoying your channels again :)

    You have honestly become my favourite UA-camr. I thibk the character growth you have gone through and I think that you have become so honest and willing to put whatever you're thinking out there. There was definitely a period of time I didn't like your videos and I think that it was because it felt forced and I'm so happy for you and the fact that you are able to do what you love and people still support you.

  • @summerbrook459
    @summerbrook459 7 років тому

    I've been working on my channel for a few months now and have only been brave enough to game, but I have so many ideas and have been too afraid to just do it because "what if people don't like me, or want to dictate what I create". I needed to hear this today, your words. I wanted to start my channel to discover myself, find out who I really am instead of being what others have thought of me my whole life, and I've already gotten caught up in the idea of pleasing others viewpoints of me. So fuck it! I'm going to do what I want to do and the right people will come. #yolo cause duh. Thank you so much Emma! 🤘🏼👏🏼🙌🏼

    Emma, I didn't find you untill after the 50 shades videos were gone. And so comedy was my introduction to you. Since then I have enjoyed your comedy, feal good 101, and vlogs like this. Your music has been an amazing help to me. And I know whatever content you want to create in the future I will want to see it. You are an inspiration to many of us here. So do what makes you happy. And I look forward to it no matter what form it takes.

  • @nataliealexander2384
    @nataliealexander2384 7 років тому

    I don't actually watch UA-cam that often anymore - it's all Netflix and Facebook these days - but of all the youtubers whose videos I actually go out of my way to watch, Emma Blackery is one of the most memorable and one that has stayed with me all through high school. I just think it's awesome that my friend actually recommended her to me when he did because whether it be through music or hair dying she is a pretty snazzy person and a role model for adolescent me. So thank you, Emma for existing and I am so glad that you have got to this point etc. With mental illness and CFS you've done so well to keep it together and I really hope that creating genuine content and music keeps you happy. No point in being in it for the money or people who request things of you that you don't enjoy giving them. That's the end of my spiel (if anyone even reads it).

    This is the first video on your channels that I have watched through entirety (with the exception of your music videos) in long time, because you're right. You can tell when content is genuine, personally speaking I liked when your content jumped around often because seemed like it was what you wanted. I hope your views and subs start going up again, and I kind of think they will because people doing what they want untimately have better videos and I look forward to watching more in the future. Good luck.

    I had a similar crisis on and off for ages and I NEVER earned money off my videos. I made a video back in late September about "quality content" and what I'd been feeling and what I was gonna do from that time forward and I can't explain fully in a comment how I feel in regards to this video but that one I made sums up similar feelings.
    I'm sososo glad you made this. I'm SO glad you've realized this Emma, it's so important and I love your more recent videos because I feel like you DO enjoy your videos more now and it makes it easier to enjoy content if the content is being enjoyed by its creator.

    Haha 20 seconds in and I can relate. I make vlogs but sometimes I try to be a bit more creative. I don't really write scripts, in fact the one time I did I just couldn't remember my lines anyway and knew that looking at a piece of paper would look shit. Then I do what you do, I speak without a camera and come up with (why I think is) a perfect monologue that I then can't articulate once the camera is on! I'll shall continue to wing it.

  • @PolarBearAngels
    @PolarBearAngels 7 років тому

    I'm really happy that you're finding your way again. I started watching your videos in early 2014, but I watched loads of your older content, not really understanding subscriptions. Then, over the past few years, I don't know if I noticed you were unhappy, I just personally didn't like your content. Don't get me wrong, I loved certain videos. I just personally always loved your true life/advice/not scripted chats. Your comedy skits weren't my favorite, but that's okay, because everyone is allowed to think what they think. I do have to say that I've really loved your content lately. Ever since you started your newest channel and really talking about what you care about, you're completely changed, and I absolutely love you for it. You seem so genuine, and I think I've watched every video for the past year, and I cannot say that about any other UA-camr I subscribe to.

    I've been following you for only a few months, and I really want to thank you for this video. I really needed to see this. Tonight I uploaded my first 'face' video on my channel of mostly 'hands' and was scared to death that it wouldn't be received well, but I was doing it because I needed to, for me, to share what I am undertaking, possibly to share somewhat of a hopefully life changing experience for me... I was on the verge of going and deleting it, because of that fear, when I noticed your newest video. I watched. I listened. I have never been paid by UA-cam, nor do I know if I ever will, so I cannot comment on that part, but... thank you for the honesty. I am still worried. I still have that heavy pain in my chest that I will be judged. But your words helped me to realize that I am doing this for me. Not for them. Keep it up, and I will continue watching, for sure. I've been an addict since the first video of yours I saw, and none have made me feel less so. Thank you, Emma. So very much!

    Alayna made a video with a similar message. Its pretty interesting how such different people are finding the same truth/silver lining in the adpocalypse. Im glad Emma and Alayna and all others who've had this revelation are loving their content and channels more again cause its when you love what you do that it becomes great! I have all the respect and admiration for you and your revelation is really inspiring for me ♡

    The problem with comedy vlogs or similar is that once you have done a joke (or a routine or a sketch) on camera it becomes crystalized. Its locked in the moment forever, never changing.
    If you were approaching comedy through 'traditional' means, you would be honing a set through repeated trial and error in front of audiences during open mic nights or trying bits out on your friends or family (or if you became successful, on tour) night after night after night. It would always be in flux, changing with how it flowed with a particular audience at that certain time. Some things would work all the time, some things would work some of the time, some things would not work at all.
    Some comedians would work for *years* to develop maybe twenty to thirty minutes of core material. One. Hell, back in the music hall days, some acts would have a five minute bit that they would spend *decades* performing.... the exact same thing, all the time.
    Then along came film, radio and television... whereas before, you could perform your ten minutes in front of a couple of hundred people night on night for a long time before you might have to do something different, the new mediums just ate your ten minutes, spewed it out to millions of people and now that they'd seen it.... what else do you have? Not everyone is that creative, some people just have that ten minutes of gold in them. I applaud those who can be that creative in that sort of medium all the time... sometimes people do just drain the creative well dry and can't do it any more, and there is nothing wrong with that...

    i've been watching you for years (mayb 4ish years? i don't remember exactly) and i think all this is why you're only just now my absolute favourite youtuber. you've started creating content that you actually enjoy and it's more satisfying to watch! you're amazing!!!!

I want to see you guys happy. very proud of you, was tearing up and then smiling wide. love you bb 💙

  • @BarboraBarboraV

    to be honest, i only started watching your videos in december 2016 and i subscribed to this channel because this was what i liked. i mean yeah, sketches are fun but they're not really my thing. i love to hear you talk here. it seems so genuine and i'm so interested in that and i became so interested in you that i even subscribed to your main channel even though i like the vids on this channel more. what i wanted to say is that if people love you then they'll love the things you do as well. probably. just (and this sounds so cheesy oh dear) be yourself! love you

    I'm so happy to see the difference between your very sad video with pugs and this video: No one needs a niche, the great thing with a creative job is that you get to experiment and try. If you fail its okay, because at least you'll have no regrets. Your music is great and you are funny, but as for me I watch this channel the most because it really feels like you are not forcing yourself. YES the most important thing is that you find happiness in what you do. If you want to do music, Do music! I love your covers on this channel, and your original songs!
    I'm following a beauty and lifestyle youtuber who made the same kind of video recently, saying that for the last year she did videos like challenges and stuff because it was what was working on youtube at the moment and she wanted to stay relevant, but by doing that she didn't recognize herself and she lost her passion. So she said basically what you just said, that she will go back to do what she loves and stop caring about statistics.
    I'm happy that you found a new motivation about youtube, and I'll stick with both you and this other youtuber because you're talented in what you do, and it makes me happy to see you happy (does that makes sense? I don't know X) )
    Anyway, this comment is long and not very clear, but to resume: you're great Emma!

    Whilst UA-cam's algorithm probably is the most prominent thing. The people watching UA-cam now are different to the ones in 2012. In 2012 I was just coming out of secondary school and was the weird emo kid with no Friends. So I pretty much just sat on UA-cam all day. Now I'm 21 and I've got bills to pay and a fiancé and a small group of friends I love. I still watch UA-cam (obviously I'm here lol) but no where near as much as I used to. Some subscribers are going to move on from UA-cam in general and that's not anything to do with you. I'm glad you're still going to make videos and make the ones you enjoy. You're one of the few people I still watch!

  • @milesn1993

    Honestly, I think every single video I watch on this video makes me love Emma more and more. Just so honest, so free to vocalise exactly how she feels and what she wants to do and how she wants to proceed, and it feels like such a great outlet for her! Keep going and do what the fuck you want, because you definitely have one Subscriber here who would rather you made one video where you felt really happy than 100 because you felt like you owed us!!

    glad there's a UA-camr out there who will actually discuss what it's like to be a full time UA-camr, it's refreshing and it helps me a lot because it's very relateable. keep doing you girl. ❤

    I remember when you started on youtube, and the videos were super funny at the time, I think I grew up that was the thing, I hate to say it but, I had moved on. I drifted away, but since you started this channel I found myself back again. I'm only a year or two older than you, but I find myself sitting nodding along to your videos like "yeah I get this, I get this, I've just crossed that bridge in my life" and itslike catching up with an old friend.

    This sounds like it's a complete turnaround from the Sad Pugs video, for exactly the reasons you state. Like you were still getting crushed under the weight of expectation to still be putting out the funniest and most original content.
    I'm so happy to see you out from under that.

  • @Eldrave20

    this is the emma blackery niche.
    I don't "completely" believe you're not scared any longer, but I'm glad you feel the pressure is off. that will make a difference. and you're right, it will show through. ;)
    keep exploring.

    • @FaithsStardust
      @FaithsStardust 7 років тому

      Eldrave20 I believe that this is a process (like most people) she is taking to get to the place she wants to be.
      It's not easy and won't come just like that, personally I see an improvement, granted I also see her vulnerability.
      My guess is that some days/minutes she's happy, the next confused and sad... a whirlwind of emotions ... but if she can continue to be strong, it's a hill she'll eventually be able to climb over.... or at least get close enough to the summit.

  • @leytonlines

    im really glad you're so real about this bc when you said that viewers can tell when you're sincere all i can think about is dan howell because like. as someone whos been watching him since 2011 its so obvious that hes not as happy as he was and hes forcing everything
    i hate to be like "i miss the old dan" because i dont i just. want him to be happy and himself, whoever that is

    I spent a couple months freaking out about numbers and worrying about not making progress, but then I finally got so anxious about it that I just started blocking the feeling out.
    Now I'm actually slowly gaining more subs while I'm doing what I want to do rather than stressing about my content not being good enough, or every little person that leaves making me unmotivated to do videos.
    Now I'm in a good place as well, so I kind of get where you're coming from.
    I hope things continue to get better for you Emma. :)

  • @HDand3D
    @HDand3D 7 років тому

    Thank you for making this video. There is a handful of UA-camrs who will talk to their viewers genuenly and not be afraid to mention money due to many viewers getting angry for no reason saying that money is all you care about. I really hope you have found that love for UA-cam again and that happiness and honestly no matter what content you produce, I'll still be here watching because I've always enjoyed your content no matter if it was mic videos, comedy sketches etc. and I'll always stick by. Once again I really appreciate you being honest and making this video!

  • @twokidsinatrechcoat1651

    I've watched your videos on and off since 2013, thank you making them! Your humour, personal reflection and social conscience showed a strong person I enjoyed watching. You shaved your head dammit, I HAD to donate to that! Even though some of the videos have not been for me (I'm a man in his 30s, Lush hauls are not my bag, baby), it disappoints me how much views and ad revenue help stunt and change a content creator's outlook, and therefore what they produce. I'm happy to be a patreon, and personally hope we move towards a world with a universal basic income, allowing more people to create from their own passion, as opposed to being driven and guided by popularity, money, etc
