"It's easier to criticize than to create." - Peter McKinnon
I think you're great. Don't listen to the haters. Do what makes you happy.
Really sorry that you are going through this right now William.
One thing I’ve learned in the last 9 years is that you can’t “out improve” these sorts of comments and the sorts of people making them.
When I started Kurzgesagt I was alone and it was also just fun and exciting to just upload stuff. But a small percentage of people were mean, waved off all the work put into them and pointed directly at all my insecurities. “They are probably right” I thought (and to be fair, some of them were!). So I tried to do better and put even more time into the videos, did more research, worked harder. As time went on I began to hire people, improved our processes further, did even more research. We started to talk to experts for every video, began documenting the sources, put hundreds of hours into our research process. Thousands of hours into each video.
And what did it do on the negativity front? Nothing. It changed nothing.
The amount and tone of mean comments that just wave away all of our effort is still the same. Constructive criticism is important of course and we learn from it - but often it is not constructive but judgy and nitpicky or mean or waving away all our work from their armchairs.
It took me a long time to accept that there is nothing I can do to change that but doing so made UA-cam fun again. It is much easier to focus on the 98% that love what we do, nowadays. Your content is great and you are such a genuine creator, its sad to see you are having such a bad time. I have no smart thing to end this comment on.
Just: It is possible to get back to a point where it is fun again and you can focus on what you want to do. - Philipp
(edit: words and formating)
:mitayep:
Well said Philipp
Who else read this in the Kurzgesagt narrators voice? Btw thank you so much for the insightful comment.
Thank you Philipp so much! As a creator and huge fan of your work is reassuring reading your words. Sometime is hard and mean comments just stick in your head but knowing we all have to confront this kind of comments and knowing how everyone deal with them is extremely helpful. Thank you again and I hope Will is going to get better too! 💪🏼

I know this is an old video but I hope you still see the comment. I just found your channel and went back and watched your X-ray videos and the whole time, all I was thinking was "holy shit, this guy is awesome!" I cannot fathom how someone could watch your content and feel the need to shit on you. You seem like a great guy with a great family and you're making amazing content.
same this is the exact same for me
The people that view the world as a negative until it becomes a positive instead of seeing the world as a positive until it becomes a negative are the people that act this way. It's sad, but most of them don't feel they get their share of attention, and so they act out in this way. It's sort of childish, but they honestly don't know any better in that they think it is fine to say anything to anyone at any time they want without it causing issues.
Same here
This was heartbreaking, genuinely starting tearing up when he when he got to the part about his girlfriend; what is wrong with people. Really hated to have to see you in this emotional state, I hope it gets better for you man, you deserve so much more.
yeah, truth really hurts, doesnt it
@Fanaz10 I'm sorry you have fault in yourself, but that is not an excuse to project and attack others. Trust me, as someone who used to do the same thing, your life will be ×100 better if you try your hardest to be nice and love yourself.
There’s another good point that I didn’t hear anyone make: most people who watch the video don’t comment. They just quietly watch and enjoy the content. -a fan commenting for the first time on one of your videos
yes i must add to this

Gotta stop reading comments man. A very very small minority of people screw up the comment reading experience.
*edit: oh snap, you went way deep with a bunch of creators. Yeah for real. 10/10.
Facts
But if he didn't read the comments he wouldn't read this 😢

It would be so nice if UA-cam provided the option to automatically hide/filter out negative/judgemental comments.
Even as just a watcher of UA-cam (as opposed to putting stuff out there that I made) the comments on UA-cam suck. Wouldn’t hold it against anybody for not reading them; honestly “stop reading the comments” is the best advice.
The only negative criticism I have is you made me laugh so hard with the phone case video that I embarrassed myself in front of my family Christmas Eve, laughing like a maniac at a man in a dress, hitting himself in the groin with an automated wooden pole.
Edit; On a more serious note, I greatly value the contributions you have made and will hopefully continue to make. I'm struggling, like many, and to have a genuine laugh in a terrible time is incredibly invaluable. The negative comments are probably from broken people, beat down by life or butts for brains, and I hope they don't continue to live rent free in your head. But I value your sanity and peace more than my laughs, and hope that whatever you choose to do, it continues to make you smile along with the people around you!
i actually cried when i saw will cry, he's such a sweet and amazing individual and getting to see what he went through and what he's dealing with is heart breaking

@@twelvecatsinatrenchcoatso you came out of the closet?
@@gameringdudeguy1126 also gay.
Yup. Same thing on my channel -- even 99% good... there's still 1% bad that you can't just not notice. After reading half a million comments on my channel... well that's still 5,000 negative ones (a full length novel worth!).
I thought it'd get better when I grew a team, and wouldn't care so much about comments on my teams videos that I'm not even in... nope, now that negativity hits twice as hard because it's like attacking my family.
It's certainly not weak. We're just human.
Thank you for making this video, Will. Not many people get it, but I think this video helps explain the reality that faces most youtubers.
You, Will, and Grant Thompson from TKOR caused me to go into diesel mechanics.
Damn bro that sucks so much. I just wanted to let you know that you guys have been my heroes since I was a little boy. I hope to so projects like you guys do. I'm about to graduate and study mechanical engineering in university. Thx so much for the inspiration. I still don't know what I will do after University, but ig I will figure it out there.
Just thank you so much for inspiring me for pretty much all my life!
I love seeing you guys being real, and just vulnerable for a moment. Gives me the strength to open up, and I really appreciate it.
Damn
you should be better at math than this

Just stumbled across your 'Adopting a Raccoon' video about a week ago and was immediately hooked. Your content is funny, entertaining and clever! You, Caretaker, and Jimmy Neutron produce excellent content and shouldn't be dismayed by the 1% of haters.
It is always way more difficult to create than it is to destroy, and this 1% of bitter folk are just attempting to take the easier path.
Please keep up the excellent work!!!
I found your channel about a week ago and it has become one of my favorite channels in youtube. You come accross to me like the most genuine person who really loves what he does. These qualities are rare nowadays so keep doing what you're doing William.
You, backyard scientist, Nigel, and Michael reeves are the main reasons I chose to pursue a degree in engineering. No matter what you decide to do with this, I want to thank you for positively impacting my life. Can’t wait to listen to the next episode of the podcast that dropped on my ride back to campus tomorrow. It’s seriously the most entertaining podcast I’ve ever listened to. Thanks will!
Its always interesting how people with a engineering skill use it for something silly to entertain us
Same, I wish he hadn’t quit, I hate people, it’s stupid how people decide to treat people just because they don’t realize that people are on the other side
What's his podcast?
same i remember when i was 11 and watching backyard scientist and Williams remote control bulldog as well as peters giant firework tank.
Don't forget mark rover
I cried when you started crying. It just breaks my heart that toxicity has turned such an incredibly intelligent, friendly, funny, and creative mind into one full of anxiety and conflictedness and frustration. :(
He wasn’t crying……he was thinking.
That is all
It’s so sad
True of far too many
I also cried
Your empathy is powerful, keep it please! More people like you are needed.
I know this was posted a year ago, but I’m just now seeing this video. I’m so sorry you have to go through all of that. I hope everything is better now. You are an inspiration to a lot of us, and I am SO happy that are still making content!! Thank you for being you!! Keep up the amazing work!!
Seeing this happy guy like this makes me so sad
it's incredible how hurtful the loud minority can be. it hurts the most when people interpret you talking about how it effects you as a lack of gratefulness for what you have. when i see negativity towards my content, i know in my mind it's not relevant to me, but i can't help trying to improve everything every video in an attempt to appeal to people who can't be appealed to. i owe a lot to my career on the internet, but not all of it is good. thanks for talking about this dude.
I like Jimmy Diresta's take, where he just pins mean comments and the rest of the audience beats them into oblivion
Hey man, how about you use proper capitalization please.
@@JoeRogan898 C'mon man, It's not funny

Positive comments are like molecules of helium in a balloon. They fill you up and bring you higher. But one negative comment is like a pin, deflating you completely
People are jealous of this successful man who is so light hearted and has top level humor and intelligence.
Hey, its Schrodinger cat
Yep. All it takes is one mean comment and your whole day is ruined. Maybe even year. You can just keep thinking about it.
Reality is Helium can choke you, guy is having a little melt down, hope he picks himself up.

I can not shit my pants 99% of the day but that 1% of the day where I have shit in my pants kills it for me
Thanks Steven
Lmao
It’s oddly nice seeing so many other creators come out and say they resonate with this too. It sounds like we’re complaining even though we get to live our dream, but it really does take a mental toll after a while.
Damn this is making me having second thoughts about making videos
it doesn’t sound like complaining! it sounds like people just being honest and admitting the hard stuff, viewers need to understand that everyone, even successful people, are still just people trying to figure things out and be happy! this video made me so proud of them all :)
I'm surprised you commented, I wasn't expecting this at all
Ak50 when
Huh, surprised to see AK guy here. Don't know why I'm surprised, but I am.
Yo Osman, you are naturally well spoken and funny and honest and make good contents unlike some of us around here (points to self)! I don't think mean comments go anywhere, but I guess I'm just too old with some thick floppy skin that deflects them, you will be well in time too! Just enjoy making what you like and know that EVERYONE, even the mean commenters will like them. But they are made to be mean anyway, because that's obviously how they can get the attention of their favorite youtuber.
Well well my man electro spittin facts over here
Good job ElectroBOOM.
You make good content! now stop with the death cable suicide attempts I beg you!
ElectroBOOM has the perfect solution - just yell loud enough you can't hear the haters.
Love you, Mehdi. ☺️ Your videos also make me happy and I’m always thankful to have you and William to watch your awesome science videos.
I realise I'm one voice against a background of many. I really don't comment on UA-cam videos often. People will always post awful comments. They're protected by anonymity and get a kick out of being nasty. Your videos are entertaining. Keep it up and ignore the trolls. If you feel it's a good video, it is.
Duuuuude : , (
I’m 25 and feel like someone with the potential for something but no follow through. So I find people who share interests with me who actually do something about it and it makes me feel more capable of life and completeness. I teared up watching the squid games video because it reminded me of healthier sober fun from high school. I was amazed by your ability to memelord but also make science??? I’m English history arts so your stuff is very foreign but your pursuit and process is relatable. And you immediately became an enigmatic personality to me and I subscribed 5/4/22.
If I can be any sample- I’d like to show that while very significant parts of you feel taken in dark moments through negative comments- those same parts can be given to others (even without comments) as long as these videos stay up.
You’re also a great editor and this is a think piece I’m gonna keep returning to. Subscribed
Thanks for making this, Will. I think it’s really important for people to be reminded that creators experience emotions just like them, but hear the kinds of things most people never will. Hopefully someone watching this video will think about how their words can hurt before leaving a comment in the future.
It’s wren! hi wren! Very happy to see someone from corridor supporting one of my other favourite creators. Yo William, stay strong, sirwrender has got your back.
Goodbye
Stay mad
You probably shouldn’t read the comments then…. You make money and get spread by the algorithm the more comments you have. So just don’t read them. Remember what your mother told you and save the hurt for sticks and stones.
Hey Wren I just wanted to say the positivity you put out into the world is so uniquely you and so reinvigorating to me and many many other people as you know. I distinctly remember talking about the pressure that gives you in Daniel's latest episode of Crew cuts. I feel bad that I'm contributing to that stress but I guess all I can do is try to give back some of the positivity you have given me. I love you as much as a stranger possibly could. Have a great day and please take a break if you need it. Please send my love to everyone else in the crew as well. I left a pretty critical comment about Jordan's acting on the lightsaber vid but I failed to note that she already has a very strong and natural presence on camera.
Today I got accepted to study engineering at University.
A program I applied for, because of youtubers like you. You taught me engineering could be full of dumbassery and fun, and that this is what I want to do. I wouldn't be on the track I'm on today without your videos.
We love you William, you're an inspiration to so many people, myself included.
Good luck at uni!!
Congrats on getting into uni my dude! Hope that you have a wonderful experience.
Congrats man 🙂
Hope you can get through this,and that people show more compassion. making my way through your back catalogue for the first time and will be sad to catch up and have no more to watch. Do what makes you happy though bro. Stay strong.
I found you through "I did a thing" and I have been binge watching your old and new videos since then. The comments stating you changed are crap, you are the same and the spirit of your videos is the same. I love your content and it sucks to hear that good feedback gets swept under the rug just because the majority of feedback is good. This video taught me that If I write a positive comment on a video, it would help the creator if I specify why I think his videos are positive. Your videos are great because you are a cool dude. This video was amazing because of the giant cohones it took to make it, because of the smooth flow of the personal story combined with the interviews in the end and because it was genuine. If anyone saw this video and said you are an actor, they are just daft and their opinion is not worth the time to read it.
*”You’re always going to please someone.”*
That’ll stick with me. Thank you.
Kitboga talked about you, and this video, in today’s stream. His positive comments brought me here, and i’m really glad you were so honest about how things have hit you. Thank you for not only telling us what you’ve gone through, and experienced, but asked your friends to share their perspectives as well. This video is well worth the full watch.
I hope you’re doing well. 💜
Just as always, you found the perfect thing to say for this occasion.
OT always finding good words to say
Hello One Topic! :o
Thank you OT, I wanted to say this but I suck at putting stuff into words
Well didn't expect to see you here, thanks for always being supportive
Hey Will, fyi, you're one of the reasons I got into home engineering and have recently built a mobile coffee serving horsebox that i run as my full time business thanks to people like you, Robur, BYS etc. People who critique your projects can be constructive, people who pull apart your life and hard times aren't worth your time dude. I know that's easier said than done, but we all support you and whatever you do going forward.
There will always be hate and sometimes hate is good to improve.
A little diverge from the main topic but a “mobile coffee serving horsebox” is the greatest thing I have ever heard of!

Your content is real, raw, honest, inspiring and funny. Like if Mark Rober didn't go to bible study every weekend. Feels like watching your friend make something. Thank you for all you've done. You have a community around you that believes in you and conspires towards your success. Don't let go of that, you'd be conceding to the haters.
this is old
I know this was make a year ago but I just came across you last week and for what I see is your a good person. Just do what you want those people are just being terrible human beings that they probably hate them selfs. There will alway be trolls just ignore them man. Most of these people are to scare to make their own videos.
William Osman. I am a real human being, with his own life, ideas, friends, dreams, insecurities, and beliefs. And William, I made the conscious decision to subscribe to your channel, to your videos. William, I take time out of the chaotic day to enjoy whatever video you create. I support what you do, I want you to succeed, and I'm on your side.
I'm far from the only one. There are literally millions of people whose days you make better when you post a video. There are millions of real human beings with their own stressful lives who spend their previous time to enjoy watching what you enjoy making.
William Osman, you make real people's actual lives better.
_how do I like a comment twice?_
_wait no, a hundred times-_
Yessss, like he is an active part of my lifeeee. Like always on my mind.
There could be a thousand comments positive but one guy who's watches you a lot and has a bad day, they know how to push your buttons, game over for the good feelings you had about pouring hundreds of hours into the project.

Will, the fact that you’re even able to address this publicly is a sign of strength that so many people wouldn’t be able to do. We love you so much, you’ve changed so so many lives. I legit cried watching this, thank you so much for being the one brave enough to talk about this ☺️
You're so right, I've seen lots of youtubers talk about stuff like this before but I've never seen anyone address it this directly. It's clear that even Will was worried about seeming whiny, and I'm sure other youtubers who dance around this type of stuff are too.
I recently stumbled across your videos, you are one of the funniest, cutest, smartest people I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. I’m constantly watching your videos, new and old, they’re all hilarious. You’re a very talented person and I hope you continue to make vids cause I just got here!!!
This hit hard. I feel like this anytime I post something that I enjoy doing and people always have something negative to get me down.

He's also mistaking his genuine care about all of us as weakness. It's not a weakness it's an amazing attribute and if everyone shared that attribute he wouldn't be feeling the way he does

It’s ok William. We care for you and we support you. There’s some saying out there, that says we as humans need to block out the bad and embrace the good. Cut out the bad in your life and praise those who have gotten you to the place you are at. People who criticize just to criticize can go eat a big load of sh*t. But we must learn to forgive and learn to embrace the good. Love you William, we all do.

Hey William, I have been going through your videos watching them all when I stumbled upon this one. I’m sorry for your loss of your home and belongings. I’ve never experienced that kind of loss. I really love your videos and I hope you continue to pursue what makes you happy even if it’s not uploading UA-cam videos anymore because some people are insensitive and dehumanizing. I only wish you the best on your journey through life
Hey! My son found your channel, so we've been watching your videos, and I just watched this one. (This will be a positive comment.)
1. You're not weak. The people who are, remember, deliberately trying to hurt you, know exactly what they're doing, and are doing it on purpose. Usually this isn't the first time they've done this, which means they're not a beginner at it. You're not weak for feeling bad when someone who literally practices making people feel bad makes you feel bad.
2. I really like this video. Because I've never seen anyone else on UA-cam say exactly what you're saying here, that even though most of your comments are positive, the ones that aren't are biting and affect you in a very outsized way. I'm not a successful UA-camr, and there's no way I would know this if you didn't just say it, and it really should be something everyone who wants to release videos to the public learns BEFORE they start doing that.
3. Having other UA-camrs answer this question is one of the most brilliant ideas I've ever seen. And I bet it's even one of the most important bits of the video for you--you can remind yourself from now on that this stuff affects everyone who creates videos like this, that it's absolutely not just you.
So, thank you so much for this video. It's amazing. I'm now subscribed, with the bell on, and I'll keep watching your stuff, because this video is this good and this important. What are you going to do in the future? There's no fucking telling because you can't predict what genius will do next. :)
Thank you so much for making this, and for making all your videos. You've affected who knows how many people positively, and that's going to keep happening as long as your videos stay up and people see them, even if you never make another video. Thank you so much for everything you've already done and for being so unbelievably brave enough to do even more.
Holy crap this resonates so hard with me. There's watchers who want youtubers to fail if they're not making EXACTLY the videos they want you to make - I don't call these people fans, they don't offer constructive criticism, they're just hate-watchers. They just want to complain and bring you down. The trick is to not let them bring you down. I don't know how to do this either but if you figure it out would be cool to hear how you do it!

As a very positive person, how do you cope with negative comments?
Destin and William
What all of you UA-camrs have to think about, William Osman, Allen Pan, NileRed, Smarter Everyday etc. Your videos have millions of views. There must be thousands of people who would not have became engineers, chemists, or other society benefiting professions without your videos for inspiration. Through those people you've brought exponential human growth and positivity.
Yes, thank you.
As a channel who has been trying hard for years to get out of obscurity and working entry-level full-time jobs just to put food on my plate, I realize it's a grass-is-greener thing, but I would love to navigate the meanest comments and not worry about being creatively invalidated with full-time work that isn't fulfilling in the slightest while making barely enough money to survive.
Thank you for putting up with that massive burden while continuing to value us. I doubt any of us as your viewers have ever had to consider criticism on any level towards what you guys have.
Your content means so much to me, thanks for everything you do man.
I see you have two newer videos than this, so I certainly hope you continue to make them. I just discovered your channel and love what you do. I also completely understand what you're saying. I made a FB group purely to share info and help others with similar interests, but the haters drove me to give up. I hope you continue to share what you enjoy, not for us or me, but for yourself. You do not deserve any negativity and I hope you can push it aside. You make people smile, laugh, inspire them, people learn from you, and they ask educated questions. It's great to see STEM principles used in simple (sometimes) everyday ways with common household or random items. Keep smiling!
I have been watching you for a while now but didn't watch this video until today... Dude, I am so sorry you went through this. As someone who purely consumes UA-cam I don't KNOW what it is like to put yourself out there like this and receive that kind of negativity in return. All I can say really is THANK YOU for pushing through it and continuing to make your content. Your videos, combined with the podcast and the videos of the other Safety Third members are getting me through a really rough patch in my life.
I know everyone is saying 'focus on the good, not the bad' and from my own struggle with depression (not the same I know, but similar) it is not easy. The negative stands out. Stay strong, lean on others who support and understand you and know that, believe it or not, you ARE doing good.
Thank you for being so raw and honest with us Will. You have become one of the UA-camrs I respect most

For real. As a fellow engineer, he's one of the many reasons I persued this field
I am new to this channel, as I started watching about a week or so ago. From what I have watched, you are an awesome, funny, and smart person, and I really like your videos. On the topic of this video, I say ignore them. I know it's easier said than done, but try to keep your head up and push them away. They have no right to be receiving attention from such an amazing person like yourself. I'm really sorry you have had to go through all this.
I am a mechanical engineering major and since I have found your videos I've gotten really excited about my major. You have me thinking about cool things that are in my own reach to make. I hope things are going well for you. I enjoy ALL of your content. Thank you
I'm a computer engineering senior at Georgia Tech, enrolled in their BS/MS program. Tech has the #1 undergraduate nuclear & radiological engineering program in the country, and I've shown your x-ray video to everyone in the NRE department that I know. They were all in awe of it, and they loved it. Your videos are an inspiration to me, too.
ME junior at GT here. I can confirm people love this man’s content here 😭😭
This comment deserves more likes
When I discovered your channel, I was struggling in school. I was so mentally exhausted, I thought I would never complete my engineering degree. Watching you and your group of friends create silly things, cool things, and completely useless things all just for the sake of having fun and encouraging things like learning and science is what helped me through one of the hardest times in my life. Thank you William. I just wish more people expressed gratitude rather than excessive scrutiny. You're one of the good ones Will. Don't ever let people change you.
I STUMBLED UPON THIS CHANNEL BY CHANCE AND LOVE HIS CONTENT.. IM SURPRISED THAT HE IS NOT EVEN MORE POPULAR. HE REMINDS ME OF MY BEST FRIEND WITH HIS HUMOR AND INTELLIGENCE AND SO IS VERY RELATABLE TO ME..sorry for caps locking it, just want to be sure it gets noticed 😀
You and your family are nice..I truly appreciate the hard work and efforts you pour in to make your videos. Please continue your work and passion that makes you happy.
Sound like you and I have had similar experiences. Not a day goes by that my finger doesn’t hover over the “delete channel” button. 😔
I really hope this video (and the future comment thread here) will help give you some strength. Love what you do! Came for the bees, stayed for the man.
I love your channel. Very glad you’ve kept creating through all the tough stuff
You guys make such great content that I don’t even watch tv anymore really. You’re videos make life that much more enjoyable
Get outta here Cody. Go craw back into your desert cave and play with mercury or whatever it is you do.
@@argumentcreator7277 someone’s mother didn’t love them enough
- Has real and vulnerable moment expressing himself
- Has incredibly well edited and wonderful spread of youtubers also being vulnerable about their feelings
- Ends video with a short story about frog genocide.
The perfect video
That’s why I like him :)
It is what it is
Reminds me of the squirrelpocalypse in New England last year.
But screw the haters, seriously. Too many people forget that by and large, youtubers are just normal people. They're not these pampered Hollywood types with assistants to wipe their butts for them. There's no need to be so mean for no reason. But then again, that might be exactly *why* some people behave the way they do. Misery loves company, so maybe they're just targeting those who they see are within reach.
That gotta be the most genuine video I've ever seen.
I just found your channel and came across this video after watching a couple of older ones. I’m so sorry this is something you have to go through. Your videos are so lovely to watch, and I hope good karma brings all the positivity you deserve.
Thanks for making this video man. One of the biggest lessons I've learned as a youtuber is that the people on the screen have feelings, friends, families, things they struggle with, unique things they enjoy... Why are the people on stage suddenly not people?
Hope you're able to shake it off and keep uploading. For what it's worth, the vids have been great, none of the negativity made it to the screen.
Well.. I've seen some comments that make me wash my eyes with bleach, so it's relatable
Wow so you found out we are all human how old are u someone being famous dus not make u different wow and I know that without being a UA-camr sheesh I have something for you the Internet is a dark place and you should not take everything so serious most comments are shitty kids with to much time on there hands and who don’t know how the world works
Cool seeing you here :)
This is not an appropriate place to ask, buuut… when you gonna upload?
Cool seeing you here, my guy! Go upload bro, much love!
I appreciate this video a lot. I think one reason that negative comments bother me so much is that I can't really imagine a situation where I would leave a negative comment on a video. I think I often make the mistake of thinking that other people on the internet share similar values in that regard, so knowing that, whenever I get a negative comment, it feels like whatever I made must have pushed that person to such an extreme place or that I am just so annoying that listening to me talk got them upset. IF I were to leave a negative comment, it'd be on a video that is hateful and harmful (but even then I probably wouldn't as I wouldn't wanna give it engagement), so when I get them, I think a part of my brain assumes that whoever making the comment is a rational person that I pushed over the edge. And obviously most people who say shitty things don't give it a second thought, but still it sticks.
I completely feel that. I always try to ignore negative comments and arguments, but it can hurt so deeply that someone would take the time to write out something hateful about me, or other people, considering I could never bring myself to do the same. I feel a lot for other people, so I have a habit of taking on other's anger, too, and blaming myself. I guess the best thing to do is remember that, those people that are hurting you, are doing it because they've been hurt, too. It's not about you, it's about them, and their inner struggle. It helps me understand it a bit, and get by and not internalize it so much.
This actually puts a lot into perspective. The discrepency between the commenter and the reader's moral values is something I've never been able to put into words before. Leave reaching deep down and pulling something out to Razbuten...
The only thing I’ve left hate comments on is people who are awful, rude and 100% wrong, or animal abusers
Someone needs to tell him to watch destiny and learn how steven deals with the criticism. I know it would help.
Your channel is mega-underrated! I live your analysises and stuff. Keep being dope
The internet gives anonymity, and some people use that to be as shitty as possible.
Your videos make me laugh, and smile, and I enjoy them. You put positivity into the world. You make the world a better place by existing in it. Your positivity improves other people's lives.
At the end of the day, you're a guy, and you're trying to do good, and you're succeeding. Thank you.
Dude! Just found your channel today and I love your content! Great laughs, cutting and content. Funny a f man! World needs more of this! Hope you find your way back to enjoying it ✌🏻 I sure do 👍🏻👍🏻
It kills me when a charming and amazing guy with the funniest jokes, weirdest ideas, and a charismatic personality just dies like this. I love people like Mark Rober and Michel Reeves, you guys are a huge inspiration in my life and allowed me to open up and help me express myself more. I’ve made my own gadgets and learned so much and had so many laughs. Seeing you like this makes me want to cry dude...
Agreed.
@Brethor yikes
@Brethor tell me you're an incel without telling me you're an incel
@Brethor 🤨
@Brethor disrespectful.
You, Michael Reeves and all the other crazy/quirky engineers have done so much good for the world of stem.
Take whatever break you need and if you don't want to come back, that's your choice and we'll miss you, but I hope you know that a whole bunch of us have loved every video you put out.
E
I totally agree! William, Michael, and the others always make such fun content and it saddens me to think that some people are posting negative comments just to nit pick stuff. I love watching William's videos, even the ones where he's talking about how the comments are affecting him because they show that, hey he's human just like the rest of us.
These crakhedealians are the reason why I want to become an engineer
yeah i’m
yeah i’m
Second half of this video is amazing. Very nice how you sought different perspectives. Basically filter out the bad and have a steel mind.
This hit hard. People tend to dehumanise people they feel not as good as. You are a great person, I love your content, and anyone who actually cares does too, I promise.
I have never felt more connected to a UA-cam video in my life... It resonated so much man...
Ok and?
@@Grassss clout chaser, remove your comment it’s irrelevant.
@ligma you talk to a 1million youtber ur trash
Hey, I found Dan in the wild, great videos man
Hahaha Dan watches William osman ! Love u Dan
Wow. I would not have guessed the process of posting videos had affected you that way.
I know a lot of people will tell you not to let negative comments reverberate back in your head. I think it shows your character more that you still care what people think. I hope you find a balance between caring too much and not at all.
You're a good man William. I hope this catharsis helps you some.
I agree. The 1% will always outweigh the 99% of good comments. I think he should get an assistant to read all the comments and only show him constructive criticism and positive feed back. It will help a ton. Also I love your videos.
I know I'm super late, and this probably won't be seen, but anyway
This hits deep. I really feel terrible for all the creators that have to suffer through this, especially you. You don't really deserve to receive so much hate and baseless criticism.
I'm not sure how true or well known this is, but I've heard this somewhere and it stuck to me. One reason why negative comments may affect you so much might be because you've gotten so much positive comments and been taught them so much that you've basically become used to them, and you start to dispose of them in your mind. Especially when you're proud of your work, you expect all the comments to be positive (even if you know that it's completely unrealistic, and that's okay!), or at least have only a couple negative comments that can easily have their minds changed. However, you might not be as used to seeing the negative comments as the positive ones, and thus you don't push them away as much as you know you should. Again, I'm no psychologist and I have no idea how true this theory might be, but I feel really bad for William. He shouldn't let these comments get to him, and I know he's trying his hardest not to. Thank you for reading.
You’re not weak, this stuff builds up and gets to everybody. Wish you support!
Thank you for your honesty, my wife and I were reflecting on my own experience as you spoke. A great explanation that I heard from a psychologist is that a good thing can only be so good, but a negative thing can kill you, hence our tendency to focus on the negative. Wherever your journey takes you, I hope you find less strife and more meaning.
Joel every video you make is a gem, just like Williams! I always look forward to your content man!
@@BYin541 he's being serious I don't think he would want you fan girling over him when he's stating a serious topic.
@@bosozokurx7404 I'm so confused -- I was just being supportive. He mentioned he and his wife were reflecting on their experiences, and mentioned we focus on the negative -- I was just trying to share that I care about his content and the content on William's channel alike.
@@BYin541 My wife and I appreciated your comment :)
@@JoelCreates Love your vids, can't wait for hot glue gun 4.0!
You’re not weak. We all feel it. People think we live these amazing perfect lives because we make UA-cam videos, but the negativity always takes it’s toll. Take care of yourself, broski.
People forget everyone is a person. The internet gives people the elusion that UA-camrs can deal with the negativity like celebs are "suppose too". Either way you guys are human and thanks for the great videos donut.
Didn’t expect to see u or Brandon in this comment section.
@@harambaethegorilla7875 my exact thought
Man donut I can’t imagine the backlash you get, please don’t ever stop making content though I love everything you post and it helps shed light on important subjects while also making them funny and entertaining
Didn't you cheat on a specific someone lol
William, I'm going to keep this short as not to take up your time. You are the sole reason I got into engineering. Every time I look at one of your videos it makes me smile. I love your personality and your content and no matter what you will have my full support. Thank you for entertaining us and teaching us throughout the years. Good luck in all of your exploits, and god speed.
Oh man. I just got into your videos. It's ok to feel emotions man. You never should feel weak over being yourself. Hope you feel better about things. You can always take a break, the channel will be there. Maybe you'll be inspired again later. The internet is a cesspool. I'll be enjoying your work G.
One minor point I also just wanted to say was that I think you have to remember that even out of the good comments, there is a vast majority of people who watch and enjoy your videos without commenting and we all appreciate your videos a ton too. Thank you for your channel, I know it has cheered me up and made me laugh a lot throughout the past. Much love william.
Yeah - I don't comment that often, but if I didn't they would positive.
Absolutely... i hardly ever comment and i love this guy!
i think the People who comment just cause they genuinely love the video is very very low, and the people who want likes and the people who have something negative to say is the highest.
Tbh i havent ween him until now and its my first time seeing him.I do want to say his words do charm me since i think youtubers do take a lot of time to do hard stuff
Love you man, thanks for what you do.
Jesus approved science man
Its Jesus
I agree with jesus
Amen
do jesus loves me too?
While I can’t give advice to someone in position I bet other UA-camrs who might have some great advice. From one human to another, thanks for your time and effort. Just discovered this channel but I’m loving it.
Ummm hey William, soo i just found out about your channel and I've been Bing watching your content all-day from past couple of days , and I enjoyed every single second of it.... And don't regret a bit about it...
And i just want to thankyou for making all this videos.
And you know I just thought how can you soo funny every single time.. i was like you are literally awesome man....
Alright idk what else to say, except thank you. And i appreciate you.
Miss you big Willy, you never stopped entertaining me and making me laugh. Hope you're doing well
If you still miss him, you can go and see the podcast Safety third, he is a co-host there!
@@ReinaldoJ_AF hellll yeah I had no idea about this thank u stranger
Same
I wanna die now
@@ReinaldoJ_AF bro thx so much had no idea about the podcast
As a 15-year-old who has been watching your channel for 3 years, just know that 25% of the reason I want to become an electrical engineer is because of your awesome videos, your amazing talents, and your entertaining personality. fuck the haters.
Awesome just beware that actual ee won't be so interesting and will be hard with abstract math and long theories but don't worry once its over it'll feel great
That's amazing! I really hope William sees this! That's amazing encouragement.
I was about to like your comment, but rn it's on 100, so I'll come back later.
electrical engineer of 30 years here, started out tinkering with microcontrollers (AVR Atmega) when i was around your age and it's pretty fun. these days you'd probably go for an arduino for ease of use, but those weren't as widely known when I started, might not have even existed.
be advised that the field of study is very maths intensive if you go to uni (at least here in germany), so I'd recommend focusing on maths, physics and computer science (if your school has that) in school. or go with a Bachelor of Engineering from like a college instead of a Bachelor of Science from a uni if you're more practically inclined.
Same here i also am trying for an electrical degree of some sorts
Dayum bruh, I’m sorry to see ur going thru this. Ur a genuine guy. If u need a hug I’m here💙
I just found your channel last week and I’ve been binging it with my brother who I haven’t seen in 2 years bc of covid. You truly make amazing content
You’re not weak. This took courage and strength. You’ve been a source of inspiration, motivation and laughter on days when I thought it to be impossible. For years. Thank you.
hes one of the reasons i wanna get into engineering after highschool
Thank you WIlliam. I know we all go through this. Your videos are incredibly entertaining and well thought out.

Damn, dude. This is some really poignant stuff, and I really appreciate you sharing it. Every time I watch one of your videos, I'm awestruck by how much joy and creativity can come from your bias towards action -- just getting started on a project without a clear path -- because in many ways I have the opposite temperament. So seeing that you can also get stuck in your head is a really powerful reminder that we usually only see the sliver of you that makes it to the edit. I get that piling on the positivity will never completely erase the cynicism and snark that looms over you, but for what it's worth, I love what you do, and I appreciate it even more knowing how you've struggled. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for sharing. Everything. But especially this.
Hey William, people will always remember the “old days” as being better than today. I started watching your videos not so long ago and I’ve probably seen most of them already. Sure, they were different before, but not necessarily better. Without the nostalgia I can tell you that you were and still are one of the best creators on UA-cam, one of my favorite for sure. Every long time creator suffers from having some of their viewers compare them to their previous self, and it honestly sucks. Do what you find enjoyable and know that the vast majority of the people will approve and love it just as much!
As someone who has maybe left 5 UA-cam comments in my entire life, I just wanted to say this was the best meta content I have ever seen on UA-cam. Incredibly powerful.
What is the relevance of your comment history?
@@hxd9321 It was meant as a way to illustrate that I dont often feel the need or desire to comment on a UA-cam video. I dont engage often on UA-cam. I mostly just consume content. But even as someone who doesnt often comment and doesnt create their own content on UA-cam this video and its message was meaningful to me. It felt, at the very least, "relevant" to mention.

I just want to pick up on one thing you said. You claimed that you didn't spent the GoFundMe money on a Tesla, you spent money you earned yourself. Just to clarify something - you did earn that GoFundMe money yourself. People like me donated to you because they felt it was payment for all the content you've produced, which we've consumed for free over the years. We donated because you made us laugh and smile and think so many times over the years and we wanted to compensate you for that as much as for the loss of your house. It's yours and I hope you did whatever you wanted with it because you earned it.
100%
Everyone who reads this⬆️ please like it so it gets to the top so Will sees it. It's important fr
Exactly. Even if he HAD used the gofundme money on Disney, why is that anyone's business? If my fucking HOUSE BURNED DOWN I would want a little happiness and relaxation in my life. I would have spent it on glitter and therapy.

Hey I love all of you videos man! I hope you find something that brings you joy!
Thanks for making videos dude. Over the pandemic and up to now your channel was one of the only things I actually enjoyed watching. Your channel is still my default go to when I need cheering up. Forever grateful. Got me through some hard times and actually gave me a reason to laugh.
UA-camr burnout is a real thing, I'm glad you're considering your mental health and taking a step back. You've been a huge inspiration, especially as I'm entering the engineering program in college. Know that there of thousands of us that love and appreciate the work you've done, your sense of humor and creative projects.
It's nice too see his impact in the comments. Hopefully it's not over yet, and things will change.
Same here, joined a robotics team and taught myself to cad, going into engineering after school! William and a few others were always a huge inspiration to my life. I remember watching a William video and going into my garage to just build something, anything. I really love you William and would do anything to meet you just to thank you.
