That or else pin them to the top and let them know this is your channel, you will do the content the way you like and if they don't like it they can feel free to leave.
Amy, don't let the trolls dim your sparkle!!! If someone isn't "comfortable" with your content, they have the option to just leave. Think of what an empty life the haters have to spend so much time and energy on spewing their excrement. Keep being you, a wonderful content creator.
As someone with an autoimmune disease I appreciate that you have persevered through it all and can still provide us with beautiful art and commentary. It always seems that we notice the unkind comments and ignore some of the best ones. Don't give up. This is just a set back you will recover from. If I quit every time I heard some idiot telling me I couldn't do something I would never have finished my sewing, painting, anything I enjoy doing. You have been through a lot, surgery, recovery, and PT. You need to shake it off, and feel sorry for those people who have nothing in their lives to feel good about so have to denigrate others to make them feel good. You are a wonderful person and I have enjoyed your channel.
Trolls Amy. They destroy people, they have nothing else to do with their time. They are sick, very very sick. DO NOT ENGAGE. All they do is cause trouble. Never answer the. You will come back, just be strong. I follow people that nearly gave up because of trolls. They are jealous because they do not create anything. Love watching you, don't give up. Do not answer them ever again.❤
Oh my goodness this made me want to cry, I'm so so sorry your going through this. I'm a 64 year old woman dealing with Cancer, you talking about your journey with a chronic illness has helped me. I feel so relaxed and welcome when I watch your videos. I also absolutely love the art haul videos. I'm on a very tight budget but do treat myself now and then, your art haul videos help me decide what I'm trying next and there just darn fun to watch. This world seems kinda crazy right now, so much meanness. Honestly I think it's Jealousy, you are a talented artists with a sweet personality and are well liked, causing the green eyed monsters to raise its ugly head. Again I'm so sorry this is happening and I'm praying for you.
Oh sweetheart, I am so sorry!! I will gladly report people that are leaving unkind words and will rewatch. You are an inspiration to many of us artists that have a chronic invisible illness. Gentle hugs.
Dear Amy, I'm not an artist, I'm a crafter from Poland... I sew, I knit, I crochet, I love pencils and coloring books but I absolutely love your videos. I love you talking about everything and anything, love your art, love the art haul videos, love lurking into your art studio. I'm dealing with fibromyalgia. You talking about your journey with a chronic illness is helping me. I know how hard is to make a living when dealing with chronic illness. Someone who does not suffer from chronic illess will never understand us. You are a talented sensitive artist with a sweet kind personality. Don't give up. Sending love, hugs and prayers 💚💚💚
Amy don’t let these keyboard commandos get you down. You are great we appreciate you and you have the right to talk about your health if you feel like it. I have a chronic illness and it makes me feel better knowing I’m not alone. Block them!! It’s not worth the upset. Those of us that have been here a long time know you and your heart.
The video you accidentally deleted was actually the first I had seen of yours. I instantly felt at ease watching you. You have a genuineness that’s hard to find these days. Hearing you talk about your Autoimmune disease was the thing that got me though. It’s easy to watch these videos and just assume that the creator has a great life without struggles but when you talked about your illness I watched with a different set of eyes! As someone who is new to having a disability you inspire me to keep on working on my art journey. Please don’t allow the negativity of a few change anything about you and your channel! Delete those comments, block those trolls and let them sit alone in their misery. You are doing awesome videos and touching more people than you know just the way you are.
I am so glad you found my channel! Thank you for the truly lovely comment! I really appreciate it. It's been harder emotionally doing a youtube channel than I thought it would be. Thank you for the encouragement!
Amy, do not engage! They’re bullies. Bullies thrive on negative engagement. I understand it’s hard to not to let negativity effect you, but WE stand with you. ❤
I'm sorry this happened to you. I do know why but from time to time ir seems that someone appears trying to tear down art related content creators, it's craze how mean people can be. Please don't feel bad talking about your illness, as a chronic ill person I wish more people who have an audience would speak about it. There's so many people suffering in the world with illnesses that most of us haven't even heard about it and sometimes I think a lot more could be done and research if there was more awareness out there. Not saying to make that your priority, you created an art channel, not a health one, just don't feel ashamed to do it when you feel like it. Honestly that was what made me watch your channel in the first place, because I admire every one that can follow their dreams even having limitations/pain/depression and everything else that chronic illness puts in our way. I'm sorry that you lost the video that was important for your channel and I hope you will bounce back from it really soon. Wishing you the best ❤
I’m convinced that some of the trolls are actually just AI bots/generated. Don’t give these stupid comments any of your energy. Just delete and report them. I know it can be hard not to internalize negative comments but remember that those comments reflect more on the people giving them than you. Big hugs. You will bounce back from this!
Aw man I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I’ve gotten troll commenters too, and the best thing you can do is ignore it, delete them if you want, and not mention it in your videos because trolls crave attention/reactions. Don’t take it too personally, because they don’t know you and don’t know your heart. Also, there’s a chance this is one person with multiple accounts targeting you. I will definitely rewatch your video, I really enjoyed it and it’ll be fun to rewatch and paint with you. Sending you big hugs and lotsa love. 💜💜💜🥰🥰🥰
Amy you are a bright light in this world, people will try to take that light away, but that light is yours to hold, always remember that! Keep going and keep your hope, we believe in you! ❤
Dear Amy, please don’t reward the trolls by punishing yourself. There’s no shortage of miserable people on public platforms, and sooner or later content creators get targeted by them. You are a very talented, accomplished artist with a warm heart. It is your great personality and unique approach and style that we, your followers, very much enjoy and highly appreciate. I find your storytelling intertwined with your art quite refreshing, and look forward to your weekly video uploads. Don’t let those unwarranted, baseless comments deter you from creating and achieving your goals. It is your channel, so share what pleases you and talk about whatever brings you joy and comfort. I’ll rewatch your Caran d’ ache video when you post it. And who knows, maybe this video (“The Worst UA-cam Week Ever”) will generate as many or more viewership as the one accidentally deleted. Take care and remain strong.
My goodness, it's astounding how unhappiness can cause people to be nasty to others. As many have said, this behavior is a reflection of THEIR issues, not yours. I personally love that you talk about your illness when you paint and I really appreciate comments on consumerism when doing art hauls; this shows honesty and intelligence! I started painting when my own illness led me to a huge depression. Art is always connected to something else, and it is one of the foundations of human connectedness to talk about our experiences and journeys. Don't change a thing. I'm glad you called for help; most people are on your side and happy to help.
Love your channel! Talk about what you want. We all enjoy listening and learning. I too have a chronic illness and it helps me to know others are coping with this too and we can all learn from each other! Please try to ignore those that delight in harming others. We care about you! Phooey on those that are miserable and trying to being down everyone else so they feel better. Keep going and we will be cheering you on! ❤
Oh honey , the trolls are always there . . . mean small minded people. I don't know how people like you who share on youtube can have a thick enough skin to do this. People are so horribly mean, you know of course that it isn't you, it's the psychological issues of the trolls. . . .psychopaths. You are a sweetheart, a kind talented woman Thanks so much for sharing your art and your heart. I will definitely help in any way I can. T agree that they are trolls from another country , yes, don't engage at all with them.. . .
If people don't like what you're talking about, there are thousands of other channels they can watch. People can be absolutely horrible for whatever reason, and it makes no sense to me. You are a lovely person and I enjoy watching your videos. Please remember you have so many viewers who adore you and support you. Dont let the awful monsters dull your spirit ❤
I have seen other channels post that mean comments will be deleted, possibly even blocked. It's vour channel, not theirs. You have a tender heart, and people take advantage, especially when they can say such things anonymously. Almost every youtube channel encounters mean comments. Put it in the garbage where it belongs.
YOU BE YOU!!!! don't change you or your channel for ANYONE else!!! if someone doesn't like something on your channel, THEY can stop watching, and go take a flying flip! take care you! and do what makes you happy and fills your creativity!!! i wish you PEACE! hold on tight and keep going, you will make if this is what you really want!! best of everything to you!
You’ve been doing lovely videos. I cannot even imagine why the people you are mentioning are being so despicable. Please don’t let them stop you from making videos. It’s unfortunate that some people seem to need to hurt other people. The majority of us are cheering you on and really enjoy watching your content!
Please have faith in being your authentic self. It's YOUR channel. I love everything about it...especially you being you and talking about anything and everything. Whatever the "haters" say reflects THEM...not you. I look forward to watching more of your videos. I am here for all of it. You are loved for being you!
Btw i have autoimmune disease and feel that i have in you when i hear your ups and downs. It helps me through the good and those very painful bad days. Don't change what you talk about. You keep being you.
When you shine your light it can attract some ‘not very kind’ people. This isn't on you - it’s on them. Don’t give up! You bring so much light to the UA-cam platform and you are a talented artist with a personal story to tell. You give your viewers hope and bring them joy. Never ever give up - this channel has way too many kind people following you that wont let those nasty people win. 🙏💜🧚
I'm not a routine commenter, but felt compelled to respond. SO SORRY that you have been victimized by hate. I love hearing about your life, as well as the art you create. Keep doing what you do and trust that most people are kind and loving. Learning to ignore the hate is hard, so you are not alone in responding lovingly only to be attacked again. Hang in there and glad you posted this video.
Amy honey I am so sorry that someone acted that way towards you! I have had that done to me and it cost me to quit my channel. I will absolutely Play that video multiple times plus any new ones that you have coming up and we will beat these idiots through dedication and loyalty. Do not stop talking about your illness because you know what for all of those with chronic illness it is good to have us out there talking about it it helps the people who aren't able to talk about it themselves.
IGNORE THAT as much as you can. It's a focused hit. Rise high above it and know how much WE love you and know EXACTLY who you are. BIG HUGZZZ. You are NOT alone. 💜😙💜
So sorry to hear this. Please hang in there. I learned from you! It’s such a shame there are such sad angry people out there and they aren’t even angry with you…they are just lashing out. I pray every thing will settle down and things will be positive moving forward.💖
So sorry this happened to you , there are some nasty people out there , just ignore them and delete ! I know it so hard to forget things people say , but there are far more supportive people , I’m not too good at leaving comments on things I watch but had to support you when it’s clear how upset you are . Please carry on with things the way you feel is right for you and try to remember all the good things that people say , good luck and will be looking out for your next videos over the weekend ❤️x
Amy, I’m so sorry. I’m new to your channel, your Caran d’Ache gouache video was my first, but I already love your videos. I am astounded every day by how cruel humans can be. Don’t they have anything better to do with their lives!! Anyway, I’ll definitely watch your video again to try to help. Take care of yourself!
So sorry to hear about this. Don't these awful people know that they have the option to NOT watch a video. Obviously they are too idiotic to work it out. Don't let them get to you, show them what you're made of and that you're much better than they are. Be strong. Love, hugs and kisses from Australia.
I have watched your videos and found them enjoyable. I was not a subscriber but after viewing this video I became one. Nobody can control what people say or think. Be true to yourself and don’t pay attention to those unhappy individuals. They are bullies so don’t let them see how uncomfortable they make you feel. They do not speak for your family base. Your art is beautiful and helps those of us striving to be as talented as you are. ❤
I am so sorry this has happened. I enjoy your videos very much and will be watching out for the release of all your videos and will keep supporting you and your channel ❤❤❤❤❤
What is wrong with people, I’m so very sorry that you are dealing with this. I love your videos. Talking about your illness is very brave and inspiring. Don’t believe a word of what those horrible hateful people say. There are way more people who love your videos then don’t, obviously those negative people are wrong.
My heart is breaking for you, I am so sorry that this happened to you. It amazes me how mean people can be when they get behind their keyboards or their phones. It’s so easy for people to just make rude comments and bully. I love you. I love your videos. I’ve been watching you from the very beginning. I see nothing wrong with talking about your chronic illness. I believe it helps those of us that have a chronic condition cope and realize that we aren’t alone. I believe any social media platform we have to have a really huge thick skin because of mean people. Keep doing what you’re doing, keep your head high and try not to let the bullies bring you down. It’s easy for me to say don’t let the bullies bring you down, because I’m not brave enough to have UA-cam channel because of this. In fact I rarely comment on posts, I don’t want to put myself out there, but I will stick up for you any day you have a heart of gold.❤
Ohmygosh… I am so sorry to hear you’ve gone through all of this over the past week. I’m a very sensitive person myself and would have such a hard time reading hateful/discouraging comments or emails. It’s easy to say “ignore them”, but I know that is so hard to do. Try to focus on all the kind people ❤. You should be able to post what you want and talk about what you want, it’s your channel and people can just watch something else if they don’t like it. It’s maddening that they would choose to be critical and mean. Will go play your other video and I hope the views get bumped up a lot very quickly.
I am so sorry that people are behaving this way and you are going through this - it is such a disappointment. Try not to take them personally - they are projecting their own weakness onto you.
Hi Amy I am so sorry this happened you. As a long term ME/CFS warrior your videos give me great comfort. It makes me feel as I am not alone in the struggle. What makes your channel unique is you! Not just the tutorial or art hauls. People who have nothing good to say should just shut up and move on. There are plenty of other videos that might suit them. Please don’t engage with these petty people. Your channel will survive this is just a blip. Sending you hugs 🤗
Awww hun you are my favourite artist. You gave me the courage to start drawing again. That turned to painting. Opened up a whole new place for me to feel valadated. I had an accident in 2020 leaving me paralyzed from the knees down. Totally bed bound. Im 48. I laid hear for two yrs .i felt i as a person was losing my identity.my feeling of self. I flipped through you tube .and found you. Your early uploads made me laugh because you hadnt much confidence and you kept checking the camera all the time to see if it was in view. My goodness youve come such a long way. And i feel like youve been by my side as i grew my own confidence in art. You dont know how many lives you hav touched with your heart and genuine goodness. I was ready to give up before i found you. Youve given me a chance to discover new thing and grow. When i thought it was all over for me. So please know that i love you the person then you the artist because you will always come first to me. Love you stay strong. You truly make a difference. Xxxxxyou handled this with dignity and courage. You got this gurl xxxxxxx
You totally belong here! I'm a recent subber but have loved everything I have watched and enjoy your authentic personality. Dont change a thing and definately don't let them ruin it for you or us ❤
You are an amazing, authentic, and kind person. You share your art, life, thoughts, and feelings, genuinely. That is what keeps us all interested and engaged in your work; YOU. These jerks who are bothering you are just doing it to bully and be mean to people. It's not a reflection of you as a person, artist, or content maker. They'll move to their next target, because they have no true joy or purpose in their lives and being cruel (and untrue!!!) is their way of trying to have power and influence. Don't give them power. Easier said than done, and it sucks, but it's all about their lack of purpose in life. Sharing your life, ups and downs, wins and struggles, will always have someone feeling uncomfortable. That's not about you, it's about them. Talk about your illness, for every person who is uncomfortable because of their own issues, I'm sure there are many more who feel heard and relate to your experience, or empathize, and appreciate your honesty and genuine self. I'll be watching all the videos, as usual. I often rewatch while I work on my own art. I find your channel engaging, comforting, and relatable. Give yourself the time to work through this, but remember, you just created your most engaging video to date, you can do it again. Because of who you are, the community is supportive and we'll do what we do best; support! Thank you for making content and I look forward to your next video.
So...noise like that says everything abt them, & nothing abt you...jealousy, envy, shady, mean & irresponsible morons will receive their own bullshit multiplied back to them ... ii loved the caran dache video & bought the palette in one fell swoop.... which ii love using... having been injured, ii know how scary & uncertain everything appears, and artists like you literally made my DIY physical therapy and mental recovery a reality... and someday ii may be able to give back to those whose generosity & courage gave that back to me... the lesson for me here is: Do not react to other's perceptions without questioning the source.... ii have a very spicy southern oneliner...you can read the subbed words for the way more emphatic ones: opinions are like hineys...everyone's got one & they're all full of poop.
Hang in there Aimee so sorry this has happened to you, you do not deserve this. I love your channel and think you are very brave to do it. There is nothing wrong with talking about your illness - Im sure it inspires others in the same boat as you to give creating a try!
Those are evil people ( if you could call them that) do not let them intimídate you, love all of your videos and everything you talk about, your personal problems and all cuz like that I could put you in may prayers. Put your head up and I will if I see any negative comments in your channel. May God bless you and your family 🙏
It hurts my heart seeing you so defeated and upset because of these internet trolls, bullies who clearly have a lot of issues themselves. Please know we all support you and you will come back from this, we are all here to do whatever we can to make that happen! I found you right at the beginning with your very first haul video and have watched every video since, why? Because you are a lovely, friendly and welcoming lady who has so much talent and knowledge which you are happy to share with us, I too have a chronic illness and like many of your subscribers, find that you sharing your own battles and every day life helps me to see that I can achieve what I want to, my illness does not define me, the way that yours does not define you. You have created a welcoming community here, a place where we can talk about our creativity as well as our regular lives as you share yours and I know lots of other people in addition to myself truly appreciate you for this. Stay strong beautiful lady and as my dear Mum would have said "don't let the snakes in the pit get you down" - we've all got your back xxx
Amy, please don’t give up on this, I’m a Spanish woman, I’m so far away from you but every week I’m excited for watching your videos, I like them and you are a very nice and talented artist who shares a little bit of your life with us, there are always bad people everywhere but it’s better to avoid them and go on with your life.Please take care of yourself, a bit hug 🤗 sorry about my english.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. I know how upset and stressed you must be. It's OK to share yourself and your life and you will come back from this. There are jerks who are jealous of you and your success but don't let them stress you into a flair.
I'm so sorry about those horrible people and comments, please don't believe them. You're a lovely person and we love all of your content, hauls, artwork, and talking. I wasn't going to say anything, but I'm commenting to appease the algorithm!!! And I'll rewatch the video when it's uploaded!
You've been through a lot this year and it's hard to keep your guard up when you've used so much energy healing and dealing. I hope you'll remember how much you love doing what you are doing, and refuse to let others take away your joy and passion for art and life.
Amy you are wonderful. I looked forward to seeing you every week. Please don't let anyone bring you down. You keep talking. We all love to hear you talk about your life. Makes us feel like we are not alone in our own battles. I love ya girl. ❤
I am sorry that people can be such a holes. It’s your channel, talk about whatever you want. I appreciate you sharing all of your challenges as we all have something we are dealing with. Sharing yours only makes you more relatable. I’m will most definitely watch the video to help you out. People who post hateful things are miserable people and hate themselves.
Oh sweet Amy. I'm so very sorry this happened. Please, please know these are sick people who have nothing better to do but malisously bully people. Please know we love your content and "style" and appreciate all you share and support you in your health struggles. I'm on it. Will watch and comment on lots of videos to help the stupid algorithm. Hugs to you. Please stay strong! ❤❤
Amy I watch all your videos and enjoy them all. I've learnt plenty and feel more connected to you, and because of your openess of your life. Ignore the "haters". Their mother never taught them, " if you have nothing nice to say don’t say anything". I will re watch as may of your videos again and hope it helps. Cheer up we are on your side of the wonderful world of art you are demonstrating constantly thank you❤
So sorry that has been happening to you!!! I will watch and re-watch and I always like, too. I enjoy your videos and appreciate that it isn't just about only art. Don't give up! :)
I am new here but hang in there. The only video you unknowingly deleted was very helpful for me and it is why I subscribed. By the comments I have read you have good support. Keep on trucking, beautiful!
Oh no! I'm so sorry you had to go through this, you SO don't deserve this kind of treatment from unkind people. Yes, you do desire to be on UA-cam. There are a lot of people who enjoy your videos. I also think you are really brave to post this, I'm sure it had to be hard, hang in there, have faith it can and will turn around for you.💕💕
My dear Amy. Your channel is yours and you are the one who gets to decide what content you post. If other people dislike what they see or if they feel "uncomfortable" watching it, they have the option to switch off. That is the ONLY option they have. Asking you to change your programing so that they can feel more "comfortable" should never ever be on the table and it borders on ridiculousness! You don't even have to respond. You can thank them for the feedback and continue on. Ignore or remove the mean comments. Unkind comments are horrible to read, but they are everywhere, even on innocent kitten videos; people get some kind of sick charge out of doing that. This can't be avoided. Use UA-cams tools for dealing with vicious comments, stay strong and be yourself. And keep the faith and don't give up, keep plugging on until you do come back. Be kind to yourself.
There are so many jerks out there. Especially on Instagram. It’s a cesspool. You are a sweet, kind and talented individual. I’m so sorry you’re going through all of this on top of trying to heal and overcoming artist block. Much love 💕
Amy, please keep being your authentic self. There will always be haters out there in their own miserable worlds who are mean just to be mean. I enjoy watching your videos just as they are! As soon as i see the video you are speaking of, I will be glad to rewatch!
So sorry! Your personality is beautiful and I love how you’re real with us about your autoimmune and other struggles that is what sets you apart from other art creators ❤️
You are such a sweet and genuine person. I’m so sorry you’ve had to deal with such ugliness and intrusion. I will certainly rewatch the video and continue to watch your weekly uploads.
I’m so sorry this has happened to you. Ignore, hide, block. It sounds to me like it is NOT a lot of people, but maybe just one sociopath looking for attention, and yes it could even be a bot. What you are doing with your channel is just fine, and there is no need for you to change a thing. Please do not make yourself sick worrying about it! We will help you through this.
I’m so sorry you are going through this. It has to be painful to see these horrible comments -these entities are like sharks that smell blood in the water. Please don’t let their negativity define you. You are a kind, talented, sensitive souI- you keep being you and ignore the jealous haters. Can you imagine being so unhappy with your life that you feel it necessary to hide behind a screen and hurl cr@p at someone who is brave enough to share their life with them? Speaks volumes about them, and doesn’t discredit you in any way. I will watch the videos that you post this w/e. Love and light ❤
I love everything about your channel Amy! You just keep on plugging away and they will leave you alone. ❤ Always look forward to your videos, they make me so happy. 😊
Amy, we are here to support you...don't let rotten people bring you down..the world is full of hate but its MORE FULL of joy, love and positive vibes. Hang in there doll. Now on to the CD video watch. ❤
Girlfriend, don't let ugly people be the ones that get you down. I realize you have dealt with so much lately and being transparent about your life and struggles is what I appreciate about you. I can understand it. Not everyone's life is a fairytale. And art honestly saved my life. I get so down because I'm in chronic pain, financially busted, and I get pretty down a lot. Chin up lady! I love ya and hope you can see that reacting to these ugly comments aren't worth it. Keep it moving girl! ❤
Just block and ignore people that act like that, it’s not okay! I love that you chat about art and life, I have a chronic illness myself. So hearing other people talk about stuff like that makes me feel not so alone 😊❤
I like and appreciate you. Please don’t let bad people get you down. You in no way deserve any of that abuse, that’s what it is abuse. Do not stop talking about illness and overcoming obstacles, it’s supportive to people that equally suffer. You have always been kind and gracious and reasonable in everything. I wish I could cheer you up and help somehow? Gentle hugs for you.
Bad things happen to good people. All these attacks just show what you do is great and please don't let these horrificly mean people stop you. Your videos are so good and inspiring. I'll be doing all I can to help you. ❤
Don't let them get you down! You are doing a great job on your channel and talking about your autoimmune issues help other people deal with their own illness. You show people that they can do art even when dealing with a terrible disease. Also, these attacks may be malicious bots. Definitely delete and ban them.
Amy...The energy behind these comments are the absolute opposite of who you are and what you bring to your channel, and the stark contrast makes it feel all the more shocking. I will absolutely report any comment like those you describe, and will watch for the re-upload of your Caran d'Ache video to watch it all the way through and like. I love your style and I love your sharing. It's warm, it creates real community, and it fuels inspiration to keep going through the challenges that we all face one way or another. To push through and experiment, to grow and create something beautiful in the midst of real life struggle. Please always be who you are, and know that nearly 10,000 of us and so many more to come will be here for you...this gifted, real, funny, brave woman, facing challenges and creating beauty and community...and helping so many of us to do the same. 🙏❤🙏
I am so sorry you are having such a hard time. I understand that we all come from different perspectives. I appreciate when you share your whole life, chronic illness and all. It makes me feel like we are many on this journey. Stay strong. The Lord is with you and will continue to strengthen you.
First: thank you for sharing your experience, your challenges and coping! It gives people hope that are struggling. Second, they are trolling, they feed on negative comments from creators. They may be bots, it has been reported by other creators that bots leave bad comments, no one knows why. I’m sorry you lost your video, please make it again, you have an opportunity make it even better. Those that support you will stay 🥰
Amy first of all I’m so sorry you’re going through this. People are so mean. I was told once I offend a person how I hold my brush. Don’t engage. Just delete and block. I am really new to your channel and I find your videos very delightful. I think your community will support you so you should be ok on your channel. I want to tell you that have an illness your allowed to talk about it. It is a part of you. If someone don’t like it they can just go watch a different channel. Don’t let them get you down because that’s what they want. I bet your channel just gets bigger now. You got this. Sending hugs and prayers. 🤗💕
Sorry this has happened to you, this is your channel you should be able to do what you want. Congratulations on 1 year and 6 months anniversary on youtube and you almost have 10 thousand subscribers, so that is something to be proud of. Keep going and don't believe everything you read on the intenet - one size does not fit all.
I watched the Gouche video first time and I'm more than happy to watch it again!! :) - I'll look out for it and the video you post on Saturday. Keep going chick - you've got this! :)
Oh dear, this is so horrible for you. I love watching you. Art has been my saviour and thanks to youtubers like you, I feel connected and inspired. Take care. Be well. 💕
So, I'm going to write my comment as if I'm writing to a friend b/c I think of you/your channel that way. Dear Amy, I'm so sorry this happened to you. You don't deserve the toxicity of rando trolls/bots or the fallout from their crap behavior. Of course, I'll rewatch the video as soon as I can. And I'll share it on my socials (for whatever that's worth). I always look forward to your videos + find them very calming+relaxing. Like most of your subscribers, I love your community and appreciate your openness + honesty about your life as well as your art. Sharing your health struggles has been such a help to me personally - your openness has led me to be more willing to talk about + seek help for my mental health. Thank you for that. To echo many of the replies in your comments section, don't engage with anyone who leaves negative feedback (or even backhanded compliments). If you find that it's constructive criticism that you want to use in future - just note the info for yourself but move on. So I'll sign off by sending you hugs, + hope, + love.
Amy, you are always kind, generous, and informative. Lean into the kindness and delete the comments that are clearly meant just to hurt and provoke. This is your channel, your life, your style -- you are delightful just as you are! Praying peace over you!
Oh, I am so very sorry to hear this. Please please know that there are many many more of us that love you and your content than the haters. You can and will recover! Don’t give up ~ everything will always work out. And please don’t stop talking about your autoimmune disease. I have a very serious autoimmune disease and I get it. And I appreciate your comments. Mine actually attacked my body and my lungs and im awaiting a double lung transplant. So I really do understand. I will find your video tomorrow and let it play. I will play everything I can of yours. Put a smile on your face. It’s all going to work out! 🤗
I'm so sorry 😢 this happened. I enjoy your videos and your commentary. And i also have autoimmune issues and your talking about brings me comfort, because i don't feel alone in this struggle.
Amy, I am so sorry this is happening to you. Haters will hate. You do you Amy! You are a strong woman who has had a VERY challenging year and you are making your way through it. My question is “ what is the matter with these people?!” For heaven’s sake they need to use their power to JUST TURN IT OFF IF IT OFFENDS THEM! If they are not mature enough or emotionally healthy enough to give constructive criticism , they are not worth listening to. Why do they have to try to bring everyone down to their hate-filled pathetic level? They need to just go away- QUIETLY! PLEASE! Maybe they can find some videos on the power of kindness and empathy. Probably not their cup of tea. At least they need to STOP ACTING LIKE SCHOOLYARD BULLIES! Sending you love, Amy! Please keep giving us content just they way you have been ❤️
It appears you are getting A LOT of support from some VERY kind people. And you are getting some wonderful advice. This issue is not you and your content, the issue is someone else's malicicousness. So knowing that, delete their comments and block them, do not give it another thought. BTW, other UA-camrs are having the same experience. You WILL bounce back from this! Looking forward to viewing the deleted video again, HUGS!
Amy, it breaks my heart seeing a fellow artist and a genuine human being in this kind of turmoil. Everything that I wanted to relay to you is already written in these comments here, by your loving, caring and supportive community. So, I will send you the biggest, warmest hug that I’m capable of and much love from California ❤❤🤗 Please take care of yourself and be strong!!
Don’t engage! They are mean malicious people. Just give them the attention they deserve with the delete button.
That or else pin them to the top and let them know this is your channel, you will do the content the way you like and if they don't like it they can feel free to leave.
Amy, don't let the trolls dim your sparkle!!! If someone isn't "comfortable" with your content, they have the option to just leave. Think of what an empty life the haters have to spend so much time and energy on spewing their excrement. Keep being you, a wonderful content creator.
Let’s all help Amy by telling everyone we know about her channel,her art and her need for kindness.
People are drawn to your channel because you talk about your life, the good and bad. Keep doing what you have been doing!
Yes. Most all youtubers who do art/crafts do all what she does. There's several options: turn off, don't sub, move fwd,
As someone with an autoimmune disease I appreciate that you have persevered through it all and can still provide us with beautiful art and commentary. It always seems that we notice the unkind comments and ignore some of the best ones. Don't give up. This is just a set back you will recover from. If I quit every time I heard some idiot telling me I couldn't do something I would never have finished my sewing, painting, anything I enjoy doing. You have been through a lot, surgery, recovery, and PT. You need to shake it off, and feel sorry for those people who have nothing in their lives to feel good about so have to denigrate others to make them feel good. You are a wonderful person and I have enjoyed your channel.
Trolls Amy. They destroy people, they have nothing else to do with their time. They are sick, very very sick. DO NOT ENGAGE. All they do is cause trouble. Never answer the. You will come back, just be strong. I follow people that nearly gave up because of trolls. They are jealous because they do not create anything. Love watching you, don't give up. Do not answer them ever again.❤
Exactly
Oh my goodness this made me want to cry, I'm so so sorry your going through this. I'm a 64 year old woman dealing with Cancer, you talking about your journey with a chronic illness has helped me. I feel so relaxed and welcome when I watch your videos. I also absolutely love the art haul videos. I'm on a very tight budget but do treat myself now and then, your art haul videos help me decide what I'm trying next and there just darn fun to watch. This world seems kinda crazy right now, so much meanness. Honestly I think it's Jealousy, you are a talented artists with a sweet personality and are well liked, causing the green eyed monsters to raise its ugly head. Again I'm so sorry this is happening and I'm praying for you.
Sending you positive energy and I’m glad you have found things you enjoy to fill your day 💙
I feel the same way. I have stage four breast cancer
I'm so sorry you have to put up with such unkind people. Hang in there and keep doing what you do.
Oh sweetheart, I am so sorry!! I will gladly report people that are leaving unkind words and will rewatch. You are an inspiration to many of us artists that have a chronic invisible illness. Gentle hugs.
Please know you add value to so many. We need positive art videos and we appreciate you ❤
Dear Amy, I'm not an artist, I'm a crafter from Poland... I sew, I knit, I crochet, I love pencils and coloring books but I absolutely love your videos. I love you talking about everything and anything, love your art, love the art haul videos, love lurking into your art studio. I'm dealing with fibromyalgia. You talking about your journey with a chronic illness is helping me. I know how hard is to make a living when dealing with chronic illness. Someone who does not suffer from chronic illess will never understand us. You are a talented sensitive artist with a sweet kind personality. Don't give up. Sending love, hugs and prayers 💚💚💚
this is written so beautifully and it is so true!
@@selmag5819 Oh, thank you.
Amy don’t let these keyboard commandos get you down. You are great we appreciate you and you have the right to talk about your health if you feel like it. I have a chronic illness and it makes me feel better knowing I’m not alone. Block them!! It’s not worth the upset. Those of us that have been here a long time know you and your heart.
So sorry this has happened. I love your channel. ❤
The video you accidentally deleted was actually the first I had seen of yours. I instantly felt at ease watching you. You have a genuineness that’s hard to find these days. Hearing you talk about your Autoimmune disease was the thing that got me though. It’s easy to watch these videos and just assume that the creator has a great life without struggles but when you talked about your illness I watched with a different set of eyes! As someone who is new to having a disability you inspire me to keep on working on my art journey. Please don’t allow the negativity of a few change anything about you and your channel! Delete those comments, block those trolls and let them sit alone in their misery. You are doing awesome videos and touching more people than you know just the way you are.
I am so glad you found my channel! Thank you for the truly lovely comment! I really appreciate it. It's been harder emotionally doing a youtube channel than I thought it would be. Thank you for the encouragement!
Amy, do not engage! They’re bullies. Bullies thrive on negative engagement. I understand it’s hard to not to let negativity effect you, but WE stand with you. ❤
I'm sorry this happened to you. I do know why but from time to time ir seems that someone appears trying to tear down art related content creators, it's craze how mean people can be. Please don't feel bad talking about your illness, as a chronic ill person I wish more people who have an audience would speak about it. There's so many people suffering in the world with illnesses that most of us haven't even heard about it and sometimes I think a lot more could be done and research if there was more awareness out there. Not saying to make that your priority, you created an art channel, not a health one, just don't feel ashamed to do it when you feel like it. Honestly that was what made me watch your channel in the first place, because I admire every one that can follow their dreams even having limitations/pain/depression and everything else that chronic illness puts in our way. I'm sorry that you lost the video that was important for your channel and I hope you will bounce back from it really soon. Wishing you the best ❤
I’m convinced that some of the trolls are actually just AI bots/generated. Don’t give these stupid comments any of your energy. Just delete and report them. I know it can be hard not to internalize negative comments but remember that those comments reflect more on the people giving them than you. Big hugs. You will bounce back from this!
Aw man I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I’ve gotten troll commenters too, and the best thing you can do is ignore it, delete them if you want, and not mention it in your videos because trolls crave attention/reactions. Don’t take it too personally, because they don’t know you and don’t know your heart. Also, there’s a chance this is one person with multiple accounts targeting you. I will definitely rewatch your video, I really enjoyed it and it’ll be fun to rewatch and paint with you. Sending you big hugs and lotsa love. 💜💜💜🥰🥰🥰
OMG! This is awful. I don’t understand why people need to be so cruel. I will gladly watch it the video again. Sending big hugs.
Amy you are a bright light in this world, people will try to take that light away, but that light is yours to hold, always remember that! Keep going and keep your hope, we believe in you! ❤
Dear Amy, please don’t reward the trolls by punishing yourself. There’s no shortage of miserable people on public platforms, and sooner or later content creators get targeted by them. You are a very talented, accomplished artist with a warm heart. It is your great personality and unique approach and style that we, your followers, very much enjoy and highly appreciate. I find your storytelling intertwined with your art quite refreshing, and look forward to your weekly video uploads. Don’t let those unwarranted, baseless comments deter you from creating and achieving your goals. It is your channel, so share what pleases you and talk about whatever brings you joy and comfort. I’ll rewatch your Caran d’ ache video when you post it. And who knows, maybe this video (“The Worst UA-cam Week Ever”) will generate as many or more viewership as the one accidentally deleted. Take care and remain strong.
My goodness, it's astounding how unhappiness can cause people to be nasty to others. As many have said, this behavior is a reflection of THEIR issues, not yours. I personally love that you talk about your illness when you paint and I really appreciate comments on consumerism when doing art hauls; this shows honesty and intelligence! I started painting when my own illness led me to a huge depression. Art is always connected to something else, and it is one of the foundations of human connectedness to talk about our experiences and journeys. Don't change a thing. I'm glad you called for help; most people are on your side and happy to help.
I'm going to go to one of your longest playlists and "play all" while I'm sleeping...
Will be doing the same xx
@@lisarubywinnie9215woke up this morning and I've "watched" 15 videos 😂😂
Great idea! I’ll post the same. Let’s rally around Amy and don’t forget to let the ADs play.❤❤
That's a great idea, I'll join you!
@@colleensnyder8943I'm sorry I can't let the ads play because I have premium so she gets a flat fee for me watching her videos
Love your channel! Talk about what you want. We all enjoy listening and learning. I too have a chronic illness and it helps me to know others are coping with this too and we can all learn from each other!
Please try to ignore those that delight in harming others. We care about you! Phooey on those that are miserable and trying to being down everyone else so they feel better.
Keep going and we will be cheering you on! ❤
So sorry about this. You have overcome so many obstacles in your life, health, business- you can overcome this. Stay positive Amy!
Oh honey , the trolls are always there . . . mean small minded people. I don't know how people like you who share on youtube can have a thick enough skin to do this. People are so horribly mean, you know of course that it isn't you, it's the psychological issues of the trolls. . . .psychopaths. You are a sweetheart, a kind talented woman Thanks so much for sharing your art and your heart. I will definitely help in any way I can. T agree that they are trolls from another country , yes, don't engage at all with them.. . .
If people don't like what you're talking about, there are thousands of other channels they can watch. People can be absolutely horrible for whatever reason, and it makes no sense to me.
You are a lovely person and I enjoy watching your videos. Please remember you have so many viewers who adore you and support you. Dont let the awful monsters dull your spirit ❤
I have seen other channels post that mean comments will be deleted, possibly even blocked. It's vour channel, not theirs. You have a tender heart, and people take advantage, especially when they can say such things anonymously. Almost every youtube channel encounters mean comments. Put it in the garbage where it belongs.
YOU BE YOU!!!! don't change you or your channel for ANYONE else!!! if someone doesn't like something on your channel, THEY can stop watching, and go take a flying flip! take care you! and do what makes you happy and fills your creativity!!! i wish you PEACE! hold on tight and keep going, you will make if this is what you really want!! best of everything to you!
You’ve been doing lovely videos. I cannot even imagine why the people you are mentioning are being so despicable. Please don’t let them stop you from making videos. It’s unfortunate that some people seem to need to hurt other people. The majority of us are cheering you on and really enjoy watching your content!
When they go low, you go high. Delete, delete, delete.
Please have faith in being your authentic self. It's YOUR channel. I love everything about it...especially you being you and talking about anything and everything. Whatever the "haters" say reflects THEM...not you. I look forward to watching more of your videos. I am here for all of it. You are loved for being you!
Btw i have autoimmune disease and feel that i have in you when i hear your ups and downs. It helps me through the good and those very painful bad days. Don't change what you talk about. You keep being you.
Yes, Amy, your content helps people. Don't give up.
When you shine your light it can attract some ‘not very kind’ people. This isn't on you - it’s on them. Don’t give up! You bring so much light to the UA-cam platform and you are a talented artist with a personal story to tell. You give your viewers hope and bring them joy. Never ever give up - this channel has way too many kind people following you that wont let those nasty people win. 🙏💜🧚
I'm not a routine commenter, but felt compelled to respond. SO SORRY that you have been victimized by hate. I love hearing about your life, as well as the art you create. Keep doing what you do and trust that most people are kind and loving. Learning to ignore the hate is hard, so you are not alone in responding lovingly only to be attacked again. Hang in there and glad you posted this video.
Just block the trolls. The rest of us will enjoy your content stay happy.
It's important to report the trolls before blocking. It helps UA-cam flag the trolls' channels and eventually shut them down.
Amy honey I am so sorry that someone acted that way towards you! I have had that done to me and it cost me to quit my channel. I will absolutely Play that video multiple times plus any new ones that you have coming up and we will beat these idiots through dedication and loyalty. Do not stop talking about your illness because you know what for all of those with chronic illness it is good to have us out there talking about it it helps the people who aren't able to talk about it themselves.
IGNORE THAT as much as you can. It's a focused hit. Rise high above it and know how much WE love you and know EXACTLY who you are.
BIG HUGZZZ.
You are NOT alone.
💜😙💜
We WILL help you get it back, BETTER than ever.
💪
So sorry to hear this. Please hang in there. I learned from you! It’s such a shame there are such sad angry people out there and they aren’t even angry with you…they are just lashing out. I pray every thing will settle down and things will be positive moving forward.💖
So sorry this happened to you , there are some nasty people out there , just ignore them and delete ! I know it so hard to forget things people say , but there are far more supportive people , I’m not too good at leaving comments on things I watch but had to support you when it’s clear how upset you are . Please carry on with things the way you feel is right for you and try to remember all the good things that people say , good luck and will be looking out for your next videos over the weekend ❤️x
Amy, I’m so sorry. I’m new to your channel, your Caran d’Ache gouache video was my first, but I already love your videos. I am astounded every day by how cruel humans can be. Don’t they have anything better to do with their lives!! Anyway, I’ll definitely watch your video again to try to help. Take care of yourself!
So sorry to hear about this. Don't these awful people know that they have the option to NOT watch a video. Obviously they are too idiotic to work it out. Don't let them get to you, show them what you're made of and that you're much better than they are. Be strong. Love, hugs and kisses from Australia.
I have watched your videos and found them enjoyable. I was not a subscriber but after viewing this video I became one. Nobody can control what people say or think. Be true to yourself and don’t pay attention to those unhappy individuals. They are bullies so don’t let them see how uncomfortable they make you feel. They do not speak for your family base. Your art is beautiful and helps those of us striving to be as talented as you are. ❤
Thank you.
I am so sorry this has happened. I enjoy your videos very much and will be watching out for the release of all your videos and will keep supporting you and your channel ❤❤❤❤❤
What is wrong with people, I’m so very sorry that you are dealing with this. I love your videos. Talking about your illness is very brave and inspiring. Don’t believe a word of what those horrible hateful people say. There are way more people who love your videos then don’t, obviously those negative people are wrong.
My heart is breaking for you, I am so sorry that this happened to you. It amazes me how mean people can be when they get behind their keyboards or their phones. It’s so easy for people to just make rude comments and bully.
I love you. I love your videos. I’ve been watching you from the very beginning.
I see nothing wrong with talking about your chronic illness. I believe it helps those of us that have a chronic condition cope and realize that we aren’t alone. I believe any social media platform we have to have a really huge thick skin because of mean people.
Keep doing what you’re doing, keep your head high and try not to let the bullies bring you down.
It’s easy for me to say don’t let the bullies bring you down, because I’m not brave enough to have UA-cam channel because of this. In fact I rarely comment on posts, I don’t want to put myself out there, but I will stick up for you any day you have a heart of gold.❤
Ohmygosh… I am so sorry to hear you’ve gone through all of this over the past week. I’m a very sensitive person myself and would have such a hard time reading hateful/discouraging comments or emails. It’s easy to say “ignore them”, but I know that is so hard to do. Try to focus on all the kind people ❤.
You should be able to post what you want and talk about what you want, it’s your channel and people can just watch something else if they don’t like it. It’s maddening that they would choose to be critical and mean. Will go play your other video and I hope the views get bumped up a lot very quickly.
I am so sorry that people are behaving this way and you are going through this - it is such a disappointment. Try not to take them personally - they are projecting their own weakness onto you.
Hi Amy I am so sorry this happened you. As a long term ME/CFS warrior your videos give me great comfort. It makes me feel as I am not alone in the struggle. What makes your channel unique is you! Not just the tutorial or art hauls. People who have nothing good to say should just shut up and move on. There are plenty of other videos that might suit them. Please don’t engage with these petty people. Your channel will survive this is just a blip. Sending you hugs 🤗
Awww hun you are my favourite artist. You gave me the courage to start drawing again. That turned to painting. Opened up a whole new place for me to feel valadated. I had an accident in 2020 leaving me paralyzed from the knees down. Totally bed bound. Im 48. I laid hear for two yrs .i felt i as a person was losing my identity.my feeling of self. I flipped through you tube .and found you. Your early uploads made me laugh because you hadnt much confidence and you kept checking the camera all the time to see if it was in view. My goodness youve come such a long way. And i feel like youve been by my side as i grew my own confidence in art. You dont know how many lives you hav touched with your heart and genuine goodness. I was ready to give up before i found you. Youve given me a chance to discover new thing and grow. When i thought it was all over for me. So please know that i love you the person then you the artist because you will always come first to me. Love you stay strong. You truly make a difference. Xxxxxyou handled this with dignity and courage. You got this gurl xxxxxxx
You totally belong here! I'm a recent subber but have loved everything I have watched and enjoy your authentic personality. Dont change a thing and definately don't let them ruin it for you or us
❤
You are an amazing, authentic, and kind person. You share your art, life, thoughts, and feelings, genuinely. That is what keeps us all interested and engaged in your work; YOU.
These jerks who are bothering you are just doing it to bully and be mean to people. It's not a reflection of you as a person, artist, or content maker. They'll move to their next target, because they have no true joy or purpose in their lives and being cruel (and untrue!!!) is their way of trying to have power and influence. Don't give them power. Easier said than done, and it sucks, but it's all about their lack of purpose in life.
Sharing your life, ups and downs, wins and struggles, will always have someone feeling uncomfortable. That's not about you, it's about them. Talk about your illness, for every person who is uncomfortable because of their own issues, I'm sure there are many more who feel heard and relate to your experience, or empathize, and appreciate your honesty and genuine self.
I'll be watching all the videos, as usual. I often rewatch while I work on my own art. I find your channel engaging, comforting, and relatable.
Give yourself the time to work through this, but remember, you just created your most engaging video to date, you can do it again. Because of who you are, the community is supportive and we'll do what we do best; support!
Thank you for making content and I look forward to your next video.
So...noise like that says everything abt them, & nothing abt you...jealousy, envy, shady, mean & irresponsible morons will receive their own bullshit multiplied back to them ... ii loved the caran dache video & bought the palette in one fell swoop.... which ii love using... having been injured, ii know how scary & uncertain everything appears, and artists like you literally made my DIY physical therapy and mental recovery a reality... and someday ii may be able to give back to those whose generosity & courage gave that back to me... the lesson for me here is: Do not react to other's perceptions without questioning the source.... ii have a very spicy southern oneliner...you can read the subbed words for the way more emphatic ones: opinions are like hineys...everyone's got one & they're all full of poop.
Hang in there Aimee so sorry this has happened to you, you do not deserve this. I love your channel and think you are very brave to do it. There is nothing wrong with talking about your illness - Im sure it inspires others in the same boat as you to give creating a try!
Those are evil people ( if you could call them that) do not let them intimídate you, love all of your videos and everything you talk about, your personal problems and all cuz like that I could put you in may prayers. Put your head up and I will if I see any negative comments in your channel. May God bless you and your family 🙏
It hurts my heart seeing you so defeated and upset because of these internet trolls, bullies who clearly have a lot of issues themselves. Please know we all support you and you will come back from this, we are all here to do whatever we can to make that happen!
I found you right at the beginning with your very first haul video and have watched every video since, why? Because you are a lovely, friendly and welcoming lady who has so much talent and knowledge which you are happy to share with us, I too have a chronic illness and like many of your subscribers, find that you sharing your own battles and every day life helps me to see that I can achieve what I want to, my illness does not define me, the way that yours does not define you. You have created a welcoming community here, a place where we can talk about our creativity as well as our regular lives as you share yours and I know lots of other people in addition to myself truly appreciate you for this.
Stay strong beautiful lady and as my dear Mum would have said "don't let the snakes in the pit get you down" - we've all got your back xxx
Amy, please don’t give up on this, I’m a Spanish woman, I’m so far away from you but every week I’m excited for watching your videos, I like them and you are a very nice and talented artist who shares a little bit of your life with us, there are always bad people everywhere but it’s better to avoid them and go on with your life.Please take care of yourself, a bit hug 🤗 sorry about my english.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. I know how upset and stressed you must be. It's OK to share yourself and your life and you will come back from this. There are jerks who are jealous of you and your success but don't let them stress you into a flair.
Exactly. Thank you, Ellen. It's not a terrible catastrophe to have to re-upload a video. Everybody, please report and then block the trolls.
I'm so sorry about those horrible people and comments, please don't believe them. You're a lovely person and we love all of your content, hauls, artwork, and talking.
I wasn't going to say anything, but I'm commenting to appease the algorithm!!! And I'll rewatch the video when it's uploaded!
You've been through a lot this year and it's hard to keep your guard up when you've used so much energy healing and dealing. I hope you'll remember how much you love doing what you are doing, and refuse to let others take away your joy and passion for art and life.
Amy you are wonderful. I looked forward to seeing you every week. Please don't let anyone bring you down. You keep talking. We all love to hear you talk about your life. Makes us feel like we are not alone in our own battles. I love ya girl. ❤
I am sorry that people can be such a holes. It’s your channel, talk about whatever you want. I appreciate you sharing all of your challenges as we all have something we are dealing with. Sharing yours only makes you more relatable. I’m will most definitely watch the video to help you out. People who post hateful things are miserable people and hate themselves.
So sorry this is happening. Hang in there. There are so many of us who are here for you and love you and your videos. Stay strong. 🤗
Oh sweet Amy. I'm so very sorry this happened. Please, please know these are sick people who have nothing better to do but malisously bully people. Please know we love your content and "style" and appreciate all you share and support you in your health struggles. I'm on it. Will watch and comment on lots of videos to help the stupid algorithm. Hugs to you. Please stay strong! ❤❤
Amy I watch all your videos and enjoy them all. I've learnt plenty and feel more connected to you, and because of your openess of your life. Ignore the "haters". Their mother never taught them, " if you have nothing nice to say don’t say anything".
I will re watch as may of your videos again and hope it helps. Cheer up we are on your side of the wonderful world of art you are demonstrating constantly thank you❤
So sorry that has been happening to you!!! I will watch and re-watch and I always like, too. I enjoy your videos and appreciate that it isn't just about only art. Don't give up! :)
I am new here but hang in there. The only video you unknowingly deleted was very helpful for me and it is why I subscribed. By the comments I have read you have good support. Keep on trucking, beautiful!
Oh no! I'm so sorry you had to go through this, you SO don't deserve this kind of treatment from unkind people. Yes, you do desire to be on UA-cam. There are a lot of people who enjoy your videos. I also think you are really brave to post this, I'm sure it had to be hard, hang in there, have faith it can and will turn around for you.💕💕
My dear Amy. Your channel is yours and you are the one who gets to decide what content you post. If other people dislike what they see or if they feel "uncomfortable" watching it, they have the option to switch off. That is the ONLY option they have. Asking you to change your programing so that they can feel more "comfortable" should never ever be on the table and it borders on ridiculousness! You don't even have to respond. You can thank them for the feedback and continue on. Ignore or remove the mean comments. Unkind comments are horrible to read, but they are everywhere, even on innocent kitten videos; people get some kind of sick charge out of doing that. This can't be avoided. Use UA-cams tools for dealing with vicious comments, stay strong and be yourself. And keep the faith and don't give up, keep plugging on until you do come back. Be kind to yourself.
There are so many jerks out there. Especially on Instagram. It’s a cesspool. You are a sweet, kind and talented individual. I’m so sorry you’re going through all of this on top of trying to heal and overcoming artist block. Much love 💕
Amy, please keep being your authentic self. There will always be haters out there in their own miserable worlds who are mean just to be mean. I enjoy watching your videos just as they are!
As soon as i see the video you are speaking of, I will be glad to rewatch!
So sorry! Your personality is beautiful and I love how you’re real with us about your autoimmune and other struggles that is what sets you apart from other art creators ❤️
You are such a sweet and genuine person. I’m so sorry you’ve had to deal with such ugliness and intrusion. I will certainly rewatch the video and continue to watch your weekly uploads.
I’m so sorry this has happened to you. Ignore, hide, block. It sounds to me like it is NOT a lot of people, but maybe just one sociopath looking for attention, and yes it could even be a bot. What you are doing with your channel is just fine, and there is no need for you to change a thing. Please do not make yourself sick worrying about it! We will help you through this.
I’m so sorry you are going through this. It has to be painful to see these horrible comments -these entities are like sharks that smell blood in the water. Please don’t let their negativity define you. You are a kind, talented, sensitive souI- you keep being you and ignore the jealous haters. Can you imagine being so unhappy with your life that you feel it necessary to hide behind a screen and hurl cr@p at someone who is brave enough to share their life with them? Speaks volumes about them, and doesn’t discredit you in any way. I will watch the videos that you post this w/e. Love and light ❤
I love everything about your channel Amy! You just keep on plugging away and they will leave you alone. ❤ Always look forward to your videos, they make me so happy. 😊
Amy, we are here to support you...don't let rotten people bring you down..the world is full of hate but its MORE FULL of joy, love and positive vibes. Hang in there doll. Now on to the CD video watch. ❤
Girlfriend, don't let ugly people be the ones that get you down. I realize you have dealt with so much lately and being transparent about your life and struggles is what I appreciate about you. I can understand it. Not everyone's life is a fairytale. And art honestly saved my life. I get so down because I'm in chronic pain, financially busted, and I get pretty down a lot. Chin up lady! I love ya and hope you can see that reacting to these ugly comments aren't worth it. Keep it moving girl! ❤
Just block and ignore people that act like that, it’s not okay! I love that you chat about art and life, I have a chronic illness myself. So hearing other people talk about stuff like that makes me feel not so alone 😊❤
I like and appreciate you. Please don’t let bad people get you down. You in no way deserve any of that abuse, that’s what it is abuse. Do not stop talking about illness and overcoming obstacles, it’s supportive to people that equally suffer. You have always been kind and gracious and reasonable in everything. I wish I could cheer you up and help somehow? Gentle hugs for you.
Bad things happen to good people. All these attacks just show what you do is great and please don't let these horrificly mean people stop you. Your videos are so good and inspiring. I'll be doing all I can to help you. ❤
Amy, I have always loved your videos and everything you share. Hope you can survive this. You deserve happiness.
Don't let them get you down! You are doing a great job on your channel and talking about your autoimmune issues help other people deal with their own illness. You show people that they can do art even when dealing with a terrible disease. Also, these attacks may be malicious bots. Definitely delete and ban them.
Amy...The energy behind these comments are the absolute opposite of who you are and what you bring to your channel, and the stark contrast makes it feel all the more shocking. I will absolutely report any comment like those you describe, and will watch for the re-upload of your Caran d'Ache video to watch it all the way through and like.
I love your style and I love your sharing. It's warm, it creates real community, and it fuels inspiration to keep going through the challenges that we all face one way or another. To push through and experiment, to grow and create something beautiful in the midst of real life struggle.
Please always be who you are, and know that nearly 10,000 of us and so many more to come will be here for you...this gifted, real, funny, brave woman, facing challenges and creating beauty and community...and helping so many of us to do the same. 🙏❤🙏
I am so sorry you are having such a hard time. I understand that we all come from different perspectives. I appreciate when you share your whole life, chronic illness and all. It makes me feel like we are many on this journey. Stay strong. The Lord is with you and will continue to strengthen you.
Amey take courage the viewers who love you and watch you will go looking for your stuff. I know I will. Stay strong.🫂🫶
I am so sorry you are dealing with bad people who only cause chaos and hurt. Of course, I will watch your videos! Sending a hug.
So sorry to hear this! Please don't change!! 💜💜💜💜
First: thank you for sharing your experience, your challenges and coping! It gives people hope that are struggling.
Second, they are trolling, they feed on negative comments from creators. They may be bots, it has been reported by other creators that bots leave bad comments, no one knows why.
I’m sorry you lost your video, please make it again, you have an opportunity make it even better.
Those that support you will stay 🥰
Amy first of all I’m so sorry you’re going through this. People are so mean. I was told once I offend a person how I hold my brush. Don’t engage. Just delete and block. I am really new to your channel and I find your videos very delightful. I think your community will support you so you should be ok on your channel. I want to tell you that have an illness your allowed to talk about it. It is a part of you. If someone don’t like it they can just go watch a different channel. Don’t let them get you down because that’s what they want. I bet your channel just gets bigger now. You got this. Sending hugs and prayers. 🤗💕
Sorry this has happened to you, this is your channel you should be able to do what you want. Congratulations on 1 year and 6 months anniversary on youtube and you almost have 10 thousand subscribers, so that is something to be proud of. Keep going and don't believe everything you read on the intenet - one size does not fit all.
I watched the Gouche video first time and I'm more than happy to watch it again!! :) - I'll look out for it and the video you post on Saturday. Keep going chick - you've got this! :)
Oh dear, this is so horrible for you. I love watching you. Art has been my saviour and thanks to youtubers like you, I feel connected and inspired. Take care. Be well. 💕
So, I'm going to write my comment as if I'm writing to a friend b/c I think of you/your channel that way. Dear Amy, I'm so sorry this happened to you. You don't deserve the toxicity of rando trolls/bots or the fallout from their crap behavior. Of course, I'll rewatch the video as soon as I can. And I'll share it on my socials (for whatever that's worth). I always look forward to your videos + find them very calming+relaxing. Like most of your subscribers, I love your community and appreciate your openness + honesty about your life as well as your art. Sharing your health struggles has been such a help to me personally - your openness has led me to be more willing to talk about + seek help for my mental health. Thank you for that. To echo many of the replies in your comments section, don't engage with anyone who leaves negative feedback (or even backhanded compliments). If you find that it's constructive criticism that you want to use in future - just note the info for yourself but move on. So I'll sign off by sending you hugs, + hope, + love.
Amy, you are always kind, generous, and informative. Lean into the kindness and delete the comments that are clearly meant just to hurt and provoke. This is your channel, your life, your style -- you are delightful just as you are! Praying peace over you!
Sending a big hug❤ I am so sorry this is happening to you. Never give up.
Oh, I am so very sorry to hear this. Please please know that there are many many more of us that love you and your content than the haters. You can and will recover! Don’t give up ~ everything will always work out. And please don’t stop talking about your autoimmune disease. I have a very serious autoimmune disease and I get it. And I appreciate your comments. Mine actually attacked my body and my lungs and im awaiting a double lung transplant. So I really do understand. I will find your video tomorrow and let it play. I will play everything I can of yours. Put a smile on your face. It’s all going to work out! 🤗
I am so sorry to hear this - I don't understand why people share evil thoughts.
Your videos are wonderful and I enjoy them.
I'm so sorry 😢 this happened. I enjoy your videos and your commentary. And i also have autoimmune issues and your talking about brings me comfort, because i don't feel alone in this struggle.
Amy, I am so sorry this is happening to you. Haters will hate. You do you Amy! You are a strong woman who has had a VERY challenging year and you are making your way through it. My question is “ what is the matter with these people?!” For heaven’s sake they need to use their power to JUST TURN IT OFF IF IT OFFENDS THEM! If they are not mature enough or emotionally healthy enough to give constructive criticism , they are not worth listening to. Why do they have to try to bring everyone down to their hate-filled pathetic level? They need to just go away- QUIETLY! PLEASE! Maybe they can find some videos on the power of kindness and empathy. Probably not their cup of tea. At least they need to STOP ACTING LIKE SCHOOLYARD BULLIES! Sending you love, Amy! Please keep giving us content just they way you have been ❤️
It appears you are getting A LOT of support from some VERY kind people. And you are getting some wonderful advice. This issue is not you and your content, the issue is someone else's malicicousness. So knowing that, delete their comments and block them, do not give it another thought. BTW, other UA-camrs are having the same experience. You WILL bounce back from this! Looking forward to viewing the deleted video again, HUGS!
Amy, it breaks my heart seeing a fellow artist and a genuine human being in this kind of turmoil. Everything that I wanted to relay to you is already written in these comments here, by your loving, caring and supportive community. So, I will send you the biggest, warmest hug that I’m capable of and much love from California ❤❤🤗 Please take care of yourself and be strong!!
