I really like you Dina, but you rarely upload any videos, you really should upload more vlogs sid&dina vlogs and maybe get back into doing those questions they use to be so much fun
She just said the reason she doesn’t feel like uploading is because people barely watch. Can’t blame her for not feeling interested/motivated on posting more on UA-cam.
I understand when she is saying she isn’t motivated to post videos because she doesn’t get views but the thing is they promise to do daily vlogs or few vlogs a week then they started podcast but they never stick to it so I mean it make sense if you don’t get enough views because you barely post 🤷🏻♀️
I feel like I don’t know y’all anymore. It’s like I’m watching a whole new couple , whole new vibe, everything is so different. I’m sure it’s GREAT for y’all. If y’all are happy I’m happy. But honestly feel so disconnected from you guys Bc they change is so drastic. I watch here and there but definitely not like I used to. Personality change is the main thing I’m still trying to cope with
I feel the same way... it’s sad because i really wanna the fans to have this talk so maybe we can drive them up a little. It’s been on my mind recently and no one was talking about it.
Rezhin Omar exactly !!! i would do everything just to cheer her up a little. I think every OG youtuber that been on the plateform for more than 5 years had experience with change and ups/down. Ignoring and not communicating with the fan base that is deciding to stay and watch isn’t better. The vibe is in the air.
We need the old Dina back. Who made videos because she wanted to and did them without them being about promotions. You're being able to do them sort of videos because of the people who supported you by alot of it, watching your videos. It's so important not to forget them people. Your Sid and Dina videos, whether they be challenges or Q&A's were massive to us and we were entertained and your advice made us think about situations, in ways we would've never known how to understand ❤️
Hi Dina... I love you, but I think two of the issues that your views are down is the inconsistency in your uploads. Plus I feel a lot of us miss your Sid and Dina advice. Those segments were hilarious and informative. I look forward to those. I hope things pick up with you. Plus you don’t appear as enthusiastic or energetic in your videos as use to.
I think blaming subscribers for not watching, when the issue is lack of content and creativity for the content is the problem. You are capable of coming back, but you have to take responsibility and accountability for the issues. When I saw “please watch” I thought it was something important or ground breaking. ThT turns people away. Fall back in love with UA-cam for the content you make, not the views, and they will come back
Yes, I love Dina and her Family but also got annoyed by the constant promotions.. I understand they need money but some genuine content every no and then would be much appreciated
@@samisbuzin That's true, but there needs to be some balance between promo work and genuine content sans promotion, as well as promoting things that you truly believe in.
Really thought it was something really serious when I got the notification 😣 got SO scared.😬🤧glad to see you’re back and active on YT!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ supporting you alwaysssss
You want us to watch but most the content you post nowadays is fake sponsored BS - I understand earning that bag but when it comes the main reason your posting videos. They become hard to watch as they’re boring and predictable and honestly feels like I’m watching a 10 min ad. Try put the same energy and passion into your videos like you used to and people will automatically view your content. Just my opinion - No hate
Your views aew dead because you don't upload. I'm a huge fan but it's been a month since your last video and most of them are just random vlogs...I used to enjoy tutorials and actual content not just vlogs.
They are dead because your audience feels disconnected from you. After the whole modest book and then removing your scarf ( which I make no judgement of) but that impacted a large number of your viewers, to not uploading regularly and then coming back with paid videos , you lost your selling point - authenticity. That’s just my observation. Love to you and your lovely family
Jasmine Carriker she made whole channel about being modest and hijab. Her views came from that. Now she is different person, she needs to rebuild her audience to the new person she is
Hey Dina! I was thinking maybe since your schedule might be a bit tight.. perhaps you could go back to doing some question/advice type videos? Where you can do a 30 min sit down session with light editing so that you don’t get overwhelmed? Just a thought! ❤️
Dear Dina ♥️ I have been following your videos even before you got married. It’s only fair for all of your followers that you don’t lose your authenticity. We witnessed your journey into marriage, motherhood, hijab phase, non hijab phase, your bond with your siblings and your mom/grandmother. Please bring back sitdowns with Sid&Dina. Eg: Snack tasting videos, sid cooking dinner, your cleaning haul and grocery haul, clothing haul. You got it in within you Dina ♥️ love you lots. Shine ☀️☀️☀️
Sekahar Vatsala “it’s only fair for all your followers that you don’t lose your authenticity” ??? Wtf? You’re basically saying she should stay still and never change. You cannot expect someone to show you the same content at 25 than they do at 30? The truth is that this is the “real Dina” now and what she chooses to upload is probably pretty real for her. If she uploaded things that she no longer does in her real life, just because that’s what old Dina did and to make you happy, that would be extremely inauthentic
@@21972012145525 That's not what she's saying. Her audience has every right to demand authenticity from her just as Dina has the right to decide what she wants to post. Nobody's forcing her. Nobody is saying she shouldn't grow as a person. People are saying she should have more meaningful conversations on her channel and fun stuff like she once had. It doesn't mean she has to become the same person she was years back. It simply means that for most of us her high end lifestyle is neither authentic nor relatable. Dina's relatability was what attracted me to her channel and if she posts diverse content like she once did then she'll have a more diverse audience. Now her videos are all about brands and what she's got and too much of that is neither interesting nor relatable. You can grow as a person and change without becoming too self centred. Again please read people's polite disagreements with respect to her content and refrain from deriving your 'WTF' over the top twisted meanings from them.
I think you guys are going stale. The vlogs that are popular and are rising are people who are putting in the time and have consistency. Hate to say it, but the views being low is due to you guys not putting in the work.
I think that's unfair. She puts a lot of effort in, she's balancing a career also outside of youtube in fashion, plus raising a family. The Ramadan vlogs were great in showing that they are genuine and authentic. I don't think viewers like you really care about their well-being very much
In all honesty the main reasons I used to watch you initially and for years was because I looked for hijabi fashion and styling. I liked looking for inspiration and while our styles are very different I still liked to see how you styled things up. I only watched for that reason. I never watched your content for make up, or cooking or interiors or anything else and now that the hijabi content has disappeared nothing stands out for me. Not in s mean way but there are others occupying the make up, motherhood or interiors content that are better in my opinion and I came for hijabi fashion here and now that's not the case. Hope it makes sense x
All the shots of Dinas mum are so funny with sids commentary 🤣 where shes stood staring at the horses, the word search thing and the end bit doing nothing
To be honest, don't stop for the haters, there's always gonna be haters everywhere anyway, haters gonna hate, vlogs or no vlogs. Nowadays everyone loves roasting, in a rude way, people they don't even know. It's not like I know you either loool but your UA-cam channel is like watching my family's videos, it's raw and unique. All other UA-camr are not as real and honest, you both are. So was your sister's channel. Alhumdulillah leave it to Allah SWT, but be sure to know, in a weird way, you make our lives better. It's funny as we don't personally know you, but you tend to make us laugh and entertain us in the best way possible, like we're part of your family. I love your videos and they actually make me legit happy. God knows what it is about you, I literally don't watch vlogs besides yours, but you're somehow different, and unknowingly you spread smiles and love all around you. Insha Allah you'll be okay regardless of your youtube success. I think it has to do with how good of a mother both you and your mum are (I mean through what we can see) and your advice is legit, raw, truthful and with no filters. Works for me. Be yourself. Be unique as always. With or without any followers. Do it for the ones that love you. Alhumdulillah x
Damn. If you're feeling this way, you're demotivatin me too as a small youtuber girl! You got this mamacita! You've always inspired me to become a content creator and you will continue to inspire me and many other folks to just keep it real! Keep hustlin' Dinalicious ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ sending out so much love from Vancouver, Canada!
Do a video on thrifted fashion! I’m sure you heard of the unsustainablensss and unethical ness of fast fashion so show us how you’d style thrift shop finds! Please and thanks haha love you❤️❤️
Well i'm sad to hear that you're struggling with the audience dear. But going through the comments make me see that 99% of the subscribers feel the same way i feel. You changed. The highest you're going with the success, the farest you're moving from us. I used to wait like crazy for the next video but now i'm like "whatever..." It's ironic because your videos now are all high quality and very nicely shot etc, but the most authentic ones were the one you used to film walking through the house with a kitchen towel on your head and sharing your feelings and everyday struggle with us. I wish things will get better for you inshAllah! Keep it up ❤
Dina, you know we love you always. ❤️ You look gorgeous.You should try to enjoy UA-cam regardless of your views, because your content is constantly great and you are representing so many of us. You're so important, you matter so much.
@Ella Ars That's so true! I started watching her because of her personality and her content. And I still do. I thought something was wrong. When I saw please watch. It makes me sad that she had to say please watch. 😞
I personally Dina really miss your old content. And of course, everyone of us develops, changes, etc. But right now almost everything you are posting here is ADs (you didn't do it before that much), no advice videos that attracted many people, etc. I understand the hate you got after taking off hijab probably discouraged you from UA-cam, but even the fact you decided to go for face fillers - of course, everyone has their own choice, but you were so stunning before and it kinda make you look less relatable, a bit fake? - this is my opinion of course. I really don't want to hurt with my words, but just wanted to share my view since I really miss your videos - not only sponsored one, more natural, etc.
Dina, I don’t mean any disrespect or anything. (None of you better come for me for this, I’ll cut you) But would you be comfortable at this point to talk about why you removed your headscarf? As well as why your mother removed hers? I’m currently struggling with my hijab. And I’m just curious to hear as to why you and your mother removed yours. Idk how to feel about it at this point in my life. I struggle with family and even strangers treating me like shit and giving me stank faces. I’m a convert/revert btw and my family is not Muslim. So it obviously makes it harder. If you aren’t up to explaining it’s fine. I get it completely. Thanks xoxo
Keena Keena i’m also thinking the same thing. I remember when dina would talk about everything back in the days and thats what we loved so much. She was so transparent and had the guts to talk about subject that our community wasn’t comfortable talking about. But now, i feel their a lot of no-says, i cant feel things changed but she just don’t adress it. And it’s sad and wired. I really want happiness and joyful for her and her family. I think its sad that she didn’t receive the support from her own channel community.
She probably doesn't feel comfortable talking about it because of the level of hate and backlash she got. I can certainly understand her wanting to protect herself from that. People can be super judgemental sat behind their keyboards, whereas irl they're doing whatever themselves.
hajeraa that’s the thing though. Everyone has gotten used to People like her, sharing her life for the whole world to see. And she doesn’t have to share everything with us. She has a right to her privacy and what she chooses to share with us. But I just feel like she left a lot of us blind sided and in the dark on why she chose to stop wearing the hijab. I’m just curious as to know why though. I want to hear her struggles etc. I have struggled for years and to that I deal with a lot of anxiety. I fear leaving my house alone and I don’t remember being this way. Amongst other reasons why I sometimes no longer wish to observe the hijab. So like I said, I’m curious to know why she made the decision she made.
shamalama I feel the same way. And I would understand why she wouldn’t wanted to share . Or at least at the moment. But I think it would help others and maybe even open the eyes of those hateful and judgmental “Muslims”‘out there. I’m tired of people thinking we all have to fit in this one box. And a lot of us like myself come from different cultures. And a lot of the time it’s just a bunch of hypocrisy to me
Keena Keena i feel the same way... subhanallah.... sometime i was ashamed to feel anxiety from my hijab. I felt alone, no one open the dialogue about when it’s difficult, when it’s dark and ugly. Everyone talk about the hijab when the beautiful and easy... but i feel if people take the courage to talk about the ugly side we can all change and get the community in a better state of mind. 💕
I think you're maybe comparing yourself to other certain Muslim youtubers who are more successful and started after you and you probably feel like you opened the door for other Muslim UA-cam. Don't compare, if you don't want to do UA-cam, don't. UA-cam won't last forever anyway, all these influencers will truthfully have to find real jobs to sustain them in the real world, so do that before it's too late. Maybe being off UA-cam will help you mentally and your faith also. Because truth is, what really matters is our deen and please the Lord not these "fans" and trying to get sponsors etc. Not trying to be harsh, and I am by no means perfect, just my thoughts.
It is about the QUALITY of fans not the QUANTITY of fans. Fake fans have left and only real fans are left. And in Islam, the way we treat women should never depend on their clothes. Non-Hijabis and former Hijabis deserve EQUAL respect. We have a Islamic duty to even respect atheists. Allah also likes humble and kind people, something people forget when preaching about modesty.
My husband has gotten into the habit of screaming "MORNING GUYSSSSS" to me randomly because he overhears you when I watch your videos 😂 We were both disappointed you didn't do it this time haha. But so excited to see an upload from you! Ive missed your videos
Maybe your UA-cam is dead because all the vlogs you post are the whole influencer style vlogs. Get back to basics and maybe you will be pleasantly surprised
I’ve watched sooo many episodes of red table talk. And man it’s deep and so eye opening. I love the conversation around the table. So refreshing and great to watch.
I just had to google your name just to check if you've posted recently; I'm on YT everyday and haven't seen you pop up on my suggestions (you used to). I came straight to the comments to check and let you know; realised tho after reading your description that it was the exact thing on your mind and that it is an issue! Inshallah the more active you are again and people press on the lil bell, you'll be poppin' again! I'm glad you and Sid are back doing Q&A's, they're great and I love your energy together, I always feel like I'm part of it seeing as it's so laid back. Thank you for that
I used to love your videos because they were so fun and hilarious. I miss those videos especially when you do the snack testing from other countries with Sid. They were my favourite. You should do more content like that and actually videos and not ads for the whole entire video cause it feels to fake. I’m not hating I’m just stating my opinion.
I only clicked this bc you said please. I usually skip suggestions I get for your videos. Honestly I can’t speak for anyone else but why I’ve stopped checking for your videos and watching your videos is bc I can’t relate much anymore. You’re older w a family, most of your viewers are younger. If you did more videos targeted at an older audience - I think your views would be back.
Genuine advice: look inward and see if this is that you guys want to do. Dina sometimes you come of miserable and I have felt like this detachment. Its seems as if you guys are struggling and aren't interested in being here anymore. If you are, you got to be regular with content, be authentic and have a positve vibe. Both of you need to sit down and have a long talk. You guys still have a good base and can come out on top InshaAllah
Heeyyyy! Welcome back! Look after your emotional health and come back when you're ready - burnout is really sh*tty, but it's now a perfect time for evaluation, discovering what you used to love about making YT content and how to move forward. Check out Yes Theory for some uplifting content that I think both you and Mr Khan will dig - esp the insane challenging of Will Smith to Heli Bungee over the grand Canyon...spoiler...Will agreed! - but their everyday vlogs are more about how human beings connect and to seek discomfort to conquer fear. Inshallah you'll find your natural flow and we'll support your endeavours. Peace out Okhti!
I used to love watching your youtube channels and Sid's bcus it's relevant to me as a muslim, I'm not a fashion and makeup enthusiast but watching you innovatively making your passion come to live made me wanted to pursue mine. My stance is truly neutral about how I felt you ditching the hijab culture but the fact that most of your viewers/audience is dominated by muslims, I think we felt sort of disconnected. Comparing it with your views and video contents when you have your hijab on, it's really interesting how much it has affected majority female muslims esp those conservatives whlist the ones who stayed watching and accepted you for who you are, are more open minded. I personally don't wana make judgemental opinions about you taking your hijab off bcus it's supposed to be between you and Allah. If taking your hijab off makes you happy then be happy and embrace it. If putting your hijab on makes you demotivated or unhappy or worries you, be the self you wanted to be. You can't satisfy everyone in this social media plateform Dina. You losing views isn't even your fault to begin with and neither do the viewers. I honestly never watch your videos anymore bcus I felt irrelevant, disconnected and I miss the past Dina a lot (I don't blame you for your choice of change). But like I said you do you and can't satisfy everyone and neglect your mental health. Peace be upon you and fam. Xx
tru... i actually felt bad sometimes while watching her videos or seeing her instragram post. Cause mentally i really wanted the old dina back but reality was like no, the most important is her happiness. So yeah i needed to stop watching her video cause i didn’t want to tru a negative pattern in my head.
Quick short videos are all I'm after these days, even though I'll watch a billion short videos, one long one I'll put off thinking I don't have the time for it or I'll feel too guilty watching
Great video Dina! You never disappoint with the interesting, well edited content and it's nice to support someone who has morals and is never fake! ❤️❤️❤️
I didn’t realise that you had a new Chanel - just randomly decided to look for you and found this, so happy to have your videos again. You are beautiful - I know it’s not my place to comment but with or without hijab you are still beautiful, the Dina I adore. Thank you for just being you 😘
Honestly thought she was gonna say "please welcome Dina Tokio to the stage" but it was Jada Pinkett Smith. I thought I didn't know you sang and acted as well as everything else!
yes dinaaaa ! ik you have a lot of jobs to do , being a mom , managing your career, try and not forget us ! you have talent, and we all attracted to your content, but just try to upload more often and we love the vlogs , and now and then you can do shopping videos, what to buy, how to style 9 outfits, updated daily make up , what’s in for this autumn, what would be a good buy ( but pls from shops like zara , hm , reserved , mohito = affordable shops) . i care for youuu dina , care for us as well
The very first video that brought me to your channel was your birth story with Hanna and I really connected with you cause I was about to be a mother with my first and you were just so down to earth. I would love to see more videos like the motherhood side of you, make up tutorials, tasting food from other countries. I LOVE the Ramadan vlogs especially where you tell what foods you’ll get to eat and how you cook them. I can’t imagine how hard it is to consistently stay in the creative flow and I applaud you for trying and also being willing to say that yea you’re views are dead but you want to fix it.
I started watching you back when you just got off facebook and into youtube. I really liked your personality, confidence. I liked seeing what lipsticks you had, how you styled different pieces in your closet, how you did your make up. Not because i was going to do my make up the same way or dress like you but because i liked seeing you talk about those things you liked. It was smaller, bad quality cam, in your parents house. Felt genuine, like watching a friend. Then you got married and had kids around the same time i did. I could still relate. But you stopped uploading as frequently and started making more adds. Dont mind them, untill it becomes all adds.
There are people that i have been following for as long as you that upload on a regular basis, meaning i can look forward to their video. They also didnt change their formula, which was just a genuine insight in their lives. Just goofing with friends and family. Sometimes boring days. I really liked your vlogs. I can also understand that uploading on a regular basis can get tiring and at some point you want to share less of your life with the whole world.
I would love if you posted more fashion, beauty/scarf tutorials! I loved them in the past! I know you don’t wear the scarf anymore but it would be nice to see your dope styling! Thanks for sharing the Jada segment! She’s ahhhmazing! ❤️
Sabirah Parker me too i miss them so much. I remember not so long ago, i went tru my instagram i notice she changed her bio. That hit me like a bullet. That wasn’t hijabi modest know/it-all but simply another discription.... and that made me feel so sad cause i was thinking... she really is distancing her self from the hijabi fashion community. 🥺
I believe that as long as you create videos that YOU like to make, and that make you happy, the views and followers will come along too. Just keep at it, and post because you want to, not because anyone is pushing you 💙🌟🙏🏻
Where have you been?! It's so good to see you and the family! At first I thought it was all Jada Pinket Smith and was disappointed and nearly bailed, but it was you guys, with your sister and mum! More please!
I dunno I feel your videos are not as entertaining as they used to be. I used to look forward to your videos. Maybe you should review your content? Just a suggestion.
I love you guys. I'm watching your videos since years and you guys are like a part of my family. Please continue uploading videos. Lots of love and best wishes from your sister from Germany😘❤
Dina, I love and welcome the chemistry between you and Sid. Just Awesome! You guys are so cool and modern together. Keep it up. Sid reminds me of cool guys from NYC.
My advice is to find something else to work on, and grow out of UA-cam. You are growing up, and by getting older, everybody change hopefully for the best. Will UA-cam still be able to help you financially in the future, and do you see yourself still doing this ten years from now? From my perspective I witnessed that social media has had a bad influence on your faith, and it's more important to keep a strong faith than to compromise and stay relevant on UA-cam.
Your views are down because you upload once every blue moon, and when you do, it is paid promotions. You demotivate people to watch your videos, not the opposite. Take responsibility.
Hey girl!! Long time no comment. I hear this is happening to a lot of bigger UA-cam channels. But if it’s your content, honestly I miss your older videos where you did outfits and it was more personable. Now all I see is Vlogs and I don’t personally watch vlogs much. Like just now I watched Jada for 10 min I don’t care so much about what Jada has to say, I want to watch you on your channel haha Than 50% of your video was Sid. ;P Where are you? Haha
Sid is a nice and supportive husband, mashAllah, it is nice to see how you guys interact with one another. May Allah bless and protect you both and keep you guys close, ameen.
The reason you don't have views is that like almost all famous people, you've started taking yourself too seriously. All constructive criticism to you is categorically defined as hate. I absolutely have and continue to support your decision to take off your hijab and not get bullied for it. However, you seem to have lost the love you had for making UA-cam videos and it's now all about promotional stuff to make money. I understand it's your job but every video made to promote stuff is over the top. I cannot relate to your high end lifestyle because that's neither my life nor my priority. You yourself have alienated a major chunk of your audience by making the decision to only cater to people who prioritize branded clothes and fancy shoes. Your Q and A videos with Sid introduced me to your channel and they used to be hilarious. You two were completely natural with no pretense. Now it seems like a fake projection of an image where there is a lack of meaningful conversation in favour of shoving more brands and gifts that you've got down our throats. I really used to love your videos and I still watch the old ones from time to time but it's your lack of authenticity, meaningful everyday conversations and relatability that is causing us to not watch.
Dina, your aura has changed and so has your energy. You don't look happy. You still look beautiful but your sparkle is dwindling. In the hijab days you really looked like a gorgeous queen and had noor in your face. I think you need to make a plan. You have an amazing mother in law that did amazing work in Pakistan. I found her channel via yours. Get more involved, do more sadaqah. Otherwise what is the purpose in life? Taking photos isn't enough you need to feed your soul with noor, with good deeds and you will feel totally different. I noticed for a while that you were looking down from all your social media posts. May Allah give you hidayah and light your path. You're gorgeous and have a great platform. Don't give up.
What a kind and beautiful comment!😢It's so beautiful how you give her suggestions and encourage her to keep her work/former success with UA-cam up. You didn't judge her or said things that may push her away from the Muslim community and *her faith. Thank you so much for your kindness towards her and your constructive criticism. I think your comment even would inspire and encourage others. ❤ You're a beautiful soul. May you be rewarded and blessed for it. Amen.(*Autocorrect typo corrected)
@@forabetterrelationshipbetw1244 that's so sweet of you. You can tell Dina and family are good people. We all go through our ups and downs. The times when we are in limbo can be really scary and I don't wish anyone to feel that way even though it is a part of life. This is an awesome platform and there so much good stuff that can be done. Dina could be doing makeovers, image consulting and styling for modest ladies. Designing some stylish burkinis. I would book Dina for a personal hijab tutorial and shopping trip. She has superb taste and I would love to see her succeed. May Allah bless and inspire her and all the other subscribers on this channel. Best wishes to you and thanks for sweet message.
HELLOOO dina! You probably wont see this or read it but I have loved your vlogs for the longest time, and have kept up with you and your family for ages, my suggestion from my personal opinion is that you should upload the famous family vlogs! those seem to be your most popular and tbh my favorite vlogs. there was nothing more than I enjoyed than coming home from school and tuning into one of your vlogs at home, where your just chilling with the family and your cats! (who p.s. we haven't seen in ages!!) Or a cooking with Sid video, or family dinner, anything! I love those types of vlogs and I think everyone can agree! I hope you never stop vlogging, dont let views get you down, you have a very loyal fanbase and we love you no matter what!
Honestly, I still love your channel and make it a point to watch your new videos. That being said, I agree with what some people are saying. I really miss a lot of the older content you put out on your channels, particularly the Ask Sid and Dina videos. I know you've expressed feeling hesitant about posting more opinion-based/personal content due to the (frankly ridiculous) backlash you received after taking your scarf off. Ultimately, you need to do what is best for you and your family but also know that there are a lot of us out there who support your decision and value your perspective. I'm not even a muslim but have continued to follow you over the years because your content has given me insight and taught me a lot.
Just what I think, consistency gets views on here and ofc u know that better than I do, and so does authenticity! Hope y’all are doing well, I love watching your vlogs when they are genuine and raw like u said u love saying shit as u please. Ads and all are fine ofc secure that bag but also balance it with other content so it doesn’t all look scripted and commercial. I’d love to see some sit down content from you like old times, maybe a talk through grwm or q&a etc. Etc. so you can interact & connect more w the audience. ❤️
I enjoy your makeup videos and clothing try-ons! I don’t really like vlogs but that’s just me 😆 Even if you don’t edit or anything, I will watch any makeup or try-ons even from a phone camera haha! But I’ll try to watch all your videos just to help with your views 😘
Dina since ur mum likes horse riding please read up about Freedom from the Urban Equatrian Acadamy, search the Leicester mercury article. My teenage daughter started riding through this pilot scheme, usually horse riding lessons can be pretty expensive and some under privalegd children wouldnt get a chance at this. He has decided to make it available to all communities. Hes trying to help the youth and hes trying to make it a more multicultural sport. If theres any way you could support this then it would be great. First hijabi to win a race happened recently and my daughter being asian now believes tht ther is a chance fr her dream tocome true aswel. Hope ur mums going to the Olympia London Horse show in December x its a big event x
I really like you Dina, but you rarely upload any videos, you really should upload more vlogs sid&dina vlogs and maybe get back into doing those questions they use to be so much fun
Ikr...way too many fashion stuff on Instagram we lost the fun and connection with them two...it's sad
She just said the reason she doesn’t feel like uploading is because people barely watch. Can’t blame her for not feeling interested/motivated on posting more on UA-cam.
@@wardamohamed9351 no we are watching...but all she posted before was blogs then stopped so...and way too many ads ...we miss meaningful content.
I understand when she is saying she isn’t motivated to post videos because she doesn’t get views but the thing is they promise to do daily vlogs or few vlogs a week then they started podcast but they never stick to it so I mean it make sense if you don’t get enough views because you barely post 🤷🏻♀️
Consistency means more views. I love your videos, but you guys tend to promise videos and then never follow through.
Yes!
Exactly
Aya finally someone who said it
I feel like I don’t know y’all anymore. It’s like I’m watching a whole new couple , whole new vibe, everything is so different. I’m sure it’s GREAT for y’all. If y’all are happy I’m happy. But honestly feel so disconnected from you guys Bc they change is so drastic. I watch here and there but definitely not like I used to. Personality change is the main thing I’m still trying to cope with
Yeah this is true. They have changed a lot. Everything seems forced and dry since the whole hijab issue.
I feel the same way... it’s sad because i really wanna the fans to have this talk so maybe we can drive them up a little. It’s been on my mind recently and no one was talking about it.
THAT'S HOW I FEEL TOO! Honestly why I'm not excited any more nothing feels the same anymore as it used to.
Rezhin Omar exactly !!! i would do everything just to cheer her up a little. I think every OG youtuber that been on the plateform for more than 5 years had experience with change and ups/down. Ignoring and not communicating with the fan base that is deciding to stay and watch isn’t better. The vibe is in the air.
Same
We need the old Dina back. Who made videos because she wanted to and did them without them being about promotions. You're being able to do them sort of videos because of the people who supported you by alot of it, watching your videos. It's so important not to forget them people. Your Sid and Dina videos, whether they be challenges or Q&A's were massive to us and we were entertained and your advice made us think about situations, in ways we would've never known how to understand ❤️
Hi Dina... I love you, but I think two of the issues that your views are down is the inconsistency in your uploads. Plus I feel a lot of us miss your Sid and Dina advice. Those segments were hilarious and informative. I look forward to those. I hope things pick up with you. Plus you don’t appear as enthusiastic or energetic in your videos as use to.
I think blaming subscribers for not watching, when the issue is lack of content and creativity for the content is the problem. You are capable of coming back, but you have to take responsibility and accountability for the issues. When I saw “please watch” I thought it was something important or ground breaking. ThT turns people away.
Fall back in love with UA-cam for the content you make, not the views, and they will come back
The reason your views are dead is because you don’t upload often. I think your Sid and Dina QA videos got so many views; bring those back.
Yeeeees so much fun and meaningful and tend to give us advice us poor single people
I agree I loved the sid n dina QA segment
No one wants Islamic advice from these two anymore.
you mainly do promotion/ad paid content now and feels fake. need the authenticity and sincerity back.
Yes, I love Dina and her Family but also got annoyed by the constant promotions.. I understand they need money but some genuine content every no and then would be much appreciated
👏🏼
Well that's how all UA-camrs make money.
@@samisbuzin That's true, but there needs to be some balance between promo work and genuine content sans promotion, as well as promoting things that you truly believe in.
Not true she wasn’t paid for Ramadan vlogs
Really thought it was something really serious when I got the notification 😣 got SO scared.😬🤧glad to see you’re back and active on YT!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ supporting you alwaysssss
Please bring back trying foods from different countries, the makeup tutorials u used to and challenges miss them so much and the look books OMG 😍❤️
You want us to watch but most the content you post nowadays is fake sponsored BS - I understand earning that bag but when it comes the main reason your posting videos. They become hard to watch as they’re boring and predictable and honestly feels like I’m watching a 10 min ad. Try put the same energy and passion into your videos like you used to and people will automatically view your content. Just my opinion - No hate
Najeema Ali agreed
Your views aew dead because you don't upload. I'm a huge fan but it's been a month since your last video and most of them are just random vlogs...I used to enjoy tutorials and actual content not just vlogs.
The title is a click bait. I watched because I thought something important was about to happen in the video 🙄
They are dead because your audience feels disconnected from you. After the whole modest book and then removing your scarf ( which I make no judgement of) but that impacted a large number of your viewers, to not uploading regularly and then coming back with paid videos , you lost your selling point - authenticity.
That’s just my observation. Love to you and your lovely family
What's more authentic than changing your mind and your views publicly and laying it out for ridicule?
Jasmine Carriker she made whole channel about being modest and hijab. Her views came from that. Now she is different person, she needs to rebuild her audience to the new person she is
Dina we want to watch videos of you! Just vlog your everyday, makeup tutorials, fashion content. Do what makes you happy and we will support you 😊
Hey Dina! I was thinking maybe since your schedule might be a bit tight.. perhaps you could go back to doing some question/advice type videos? Where you can do a 30 min sit down session with light editing so that you don’t get overwhelmed? Just a thought! ❤️
Hahah love your honesty about ‘my views have been dead’ ... this is why I like you Dina haha
Dear Dina ♥️ I have been following your videos even before you got married. It’s only fair for all of your followers that you don’t lose your authenticity. We witnessed your journey into marriage, motherhood, hijab phase, non hijab phase, your bond with your siblings and your mom/grandmother. Please bring back sitdowns with Sid&Dina. Eg: Snack tasting videos, sid cooking dinner, your cleaning haul and grocery haul, clothing haul. You got it in within you Dina ♥️ love you lots. Shine ☀️☀️☀️
Sekahar Vatsala completely agree!!! Fall hauls, deep topics, days at the park, outfit ideas from day to night. She totally has it.
Sekahar Vatsala “it’s only fair for all your followers that you don’t lose your authenticity” ??? Wtf? You’re basically saying she should stay still and never change. You cannot expect someone to show you the same content at 25 than they do at 30? The truth is that this is the “real Dina” now and what she chooses to upload is probably pretty real for her. If she uploaded things that she no longer does in her real life, just because that’s what old Dina did and to make you happy, that would be extremely inauthentic
@@21972012145525 That's not what she's saying. Her audience has every right to demand authenticity from her just as Dina has the right to decide what she wants to post. Nobody's forcing her. Nobody is saying she shouldn't grow as a person. People are saying she should have more meaningful conversations on her channel and fun stuff like she once had. It doesn't mean she has to become the same person she was years back. It simply means that for most of us her high end lifestyle is neither authentic nor relatable. Dina's relatability was what attracted me to her channel and if she posts diverse content like she once did then she'll have a more diverse audience. Now her videos are all about brands and what she's got and too much of that is neither interesting nor relatable. You can grow as a person and change without becoming too self centred. Again please read people's polite disagreements with respect to her content and refrain from deriving your 'WTF' over the top twisted meanings from them.
Missed you and Sid, but remember your health, wellbeing and family come first
Glad to see a comment like this. People are so selfish to think that they are obligated to "old Dina" or the old style vlogs. So silly.
I think you guys are going stale. The vlogs that are popular and are rising are people who are putting in the time and have consistency. Hate to say it, but the views being low is due to you guys not putting in the work.
Well said
I think that's unfair. She puts a lot of effort in, she's balancing a career also outside of youtube in fashion, plus raising a family. The Ramadan vlogs were great in showing that they are genuine and authentic. I don't think viewers like you really care about their well-being very much
In all honesty the main reasons I used to watch you initially and for years was because I looked for hijabi fashion and styling. I liked looking for inspiration and while our styles are very different I still liked to see how you styled things up. I only watched for that reason. I never watched your content for make up, or cooking or interiors or anything else and now that the hijabi content has disappeared nothing stands out for me. Not in s mean way but there are others occupying the make up, motherhood or interiors content that are better in my opinion and I came for hijabi fashion here and now that's not the case. Hope it makes sense x
All the shots of Dinas mum are so funny with sids commentary 🤣 where shes stood staring at the horses, the word search thing and the end bit doing nothing
To be honest, don't stop for the haters, there's always gonna be haters everywhere anyway, haters gonna hate, vlogs or no vlogs. Nowadays everyone loves roasting, in a rude way, people they don't even know. It's not like I know you either loool but your UA-cam channel is like watching my family's videos, it's raw and unique. All other UA-camr are not as real and honest, you both are. So was your sister's channel. Alhumdulillah leave it to Allah SWT, but be sure to know, in a weird way, you make our lives better. It's funny as we don't personally know you, but you tend to make us laugh and entertain us in the best way possible, like we're part of your family. I love your videos and they actually make me legit happy. God knows what it is about you, I literally don't watch vlogs besides yours, but you're somehow different, and unknowingly you spread smiles and love all around you. Insha Allah you'll be okay regardless of your youtube success. I think it has to do with how good of a mother both you and your mum are (I mean through what we can see) and your advice is legit, raw, truthful and with no filters. Works for me. Be yourself. Be unique as always. With or without any followers. Do it for the ones that love you. Alhumdulillah x
Damn. If you're feeling this way, you're demotivatin me too as a small youtuber girl! You got this mamacita! You've always inspired me to become a content creator and you will continue to inspire me and many other folks to just keep it real! Keep hustlin' Dinalicious ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ sending out so much love from Vancouver, Canada!
You two are the funniest couple 😭😂 also Dina your hair looks so lovely! 😍
😍😍😍
Do a video on thrifted fashion! I’m sure you heard of the unsustainablensss and unethical ness of fast fashion so show us how you’d style thrift shop finds! Please and thanks haha love you❤️❤️
Love this idea! A look book of just thrift shop finds!
Dina : “please watch”
Husband: “we should get to bed early, we need to be up at 6”
Me: “can’t, Dina asked me to watch”
Lol
Well i'm sad to hear that you're struggling with the audience dear. But going through the comments make me see that 99% of the subscribers feel the same way i feel. You changed. The highest you're going with the success, the farest you're moving from us. I used to wait like crazy for the next video but now i'm like "whatever..." It's ironic because your videos now are all high quality and very nicely shot etc, but the most authentic ones were the one you used to film walking through the house with a kitchen towel on your head and sharing your feelings and everyday struggle with us. I wish things will get better for you inshAllah! Keep it up ❤
Dina, you know we love you always. ❤️ You look gorgeous.You should try to enjoy UA-cam regardless of your views, because your content is constantly great and you are representing so many of us. You're so important, you matter so much.
I think what made you stand out is your OOTD videos, sewing videos, and of course sid&dina iconic segment where you address a viewers' concern 😂😂😂
Sid's trolling everyone while they're in the museum is everything
People who know that you are more than a scarf are always here♡ upload for us
exactly!! 👍👍
@Ella Ars That's so true! I started watching her because of her personality and her content. And I still do. I thought something was wrong. When I saw please watch. It makes me sad that she had to say please watch. 😞
Ella true. In Islam, the way we treat women should never depend on their clothes. We have a Islamic duty to even respect atheists and former Muslims.
I personally Dina really miss your old content. And of course, everyone of us develops, changes, etc. But right now almost everything you are posting here is ADs (you didn't do it before that much), no advice videos that attracted many people, etc. I understand the hate you got after taking off hijab probably discouraged you from UA-cam, but even the fact you decided to go for face fillers - of course, everyone has their own choice, but you were so stunning before and it kinda make you look less relatable, a bit fake? - this is my opinion of course. I really don't want to hurt with my words, but just wanted to share my view since I really miss your videos - not only sponsored one, more natural, etc.
Dina has face fillers? What!?!? I had no idea 😭🤣😮
@@HH-hv9rg Me neither. When did she have face fillers?
@@aamnahere6250 I've no idea!! 😭😩😮
😣😣😣
Dina, I don’t mean any disrespect or anything. (None of you better come for me for this, I’ll cut you)
But would you be comfortable at this point to talk about why you removed your headscarf? As well as why your mother removed hers?
I’m currently struggling with my hijab. And I’m just curious to hear as to why you and your mother removed yours.
Idk how to feel about it at this point in my life. I struggle with family and even strangers treating me like shit and giving me stank faces.
I’m a convert/revert btw and my family is not Muslim. So it obviously makes it harder.
If you aren’t up to explaining it’s fine. I get it completely.
Thanks xoxo
Keena Keena i’m also thinking the same thing. I remember when dina would talk about everything back in the days and thats what we loved so much. She was so transparent and had the guts to talk about subject that our community wasn’t comfortable talking about. But now, i feel their a lot of no-says, i cant feel things changed but she just don’t adress it. And it’s sad and wired. I really want happiness and joyful for her and her family. I think its sad that she didn’t receive the support from her own channel community.
She probably doesn't feel comfortable talking about it because of the level of hate and backlash she got. I can certainly understand her wanting to protect herself from that. People can be super judgemental sat behind their keyboards, whereas irl they're doing whatever themselves.
hajeraa that’s the thing though. Everyone has gotten used to People like her, sharing her life for the whole world to see. And she doesn’t have to share everything with us. She has a right to her privacy and what she chooses to share with us. But I just feel like she left a lot of us blind sided and in the dark on why she chose to stop wearing the hijab. I’m just curious as to know why though. I want to hear her struggles etc. I have struggled for years and to that I deal with a lot of anxiety. I fear leaving my house alone and I don’t remember being this way. Amongst other reasons why I sometimes no longer wish to observe the hijab.
So like I said, I’m curious to know why she made the decision she made.
shamalama I feel the same way. And I would understand why she wouldn’t wanted to share . Or at least at the moment. But I think it would help others and maybe even open the eyes of those hateful and judgmental “Muslims”‘out there. I’m tired of people thinking we all have to fit in this one box. And a lot of us like myself come from different cultures. And a lot of the time it’s just a bunch of hypocrisy to me
Keena Keena i feel the same way... subhanallah.... sometime i was ashamed to feel anxiety from my hijab. I felt alone, no one open the dialogue about when it’s difficult, when it’s dark and ugly.
Everyone talk about the hijab when the beautiful and easy... but i feel if people take the courage to talk about the ugly side we can all change and get the community in a better state of mind. 💕
Never uploading, not following through when you promise videos, most videos are just ads and sponsors. It's lame. Lead to me unsubbing
I think you're maybe comparing yourself to other certain Muslim youtubers who are more successful and started after you and you probably feel like you opened the door for other Muslim UA-cam. Don't compare, if you don't want to do UA-cam, don't. UA-cam won't last forever anyway, all these influencers will truthfully have to find real jobs to sustain them in the real world, so do that before it's too late. Maybe being off UA-cam will help you mentally and your faith also. Because truth is, what really matters is our deen and please the Lord not these "fans" and trying to get sponsors etc. Not trying to be harsh, and I am by no means perfect, just my thoughts.
You need to do simple outfit videos again like from charity shops and primark use to LOVE them!!!!❤️
Don’t be discouraged. We all enjoy your content. Keep pushing
""I need it ..its sun protection!!"🤣🤣 ma sha Allah lovely Hannah 🤣🤣🤣
well darling, you haven't been uploading a bunch, if you post of course I'll watch it, maybe casual vlogs, shorter videos, we miss you
The sid and Dina Q&A was really 😃interesting, you should
Consider bringing it back and be consistent 👌🏽
It is about the QUALITY of fans not the QUANTITY of fans. Fake fans have left and only real fans are left. And in Islam, the way we treat women should never depend on their clothes. Non-Hijabis and former Hijabis deserve EQUAL respect. We have a Islamic duty to even respect atheists. Allah also likes humble and kind people, something people forget when preaching about modesty.
My husband has gotten into the habit of screaming "MORNING GUYSSSSS" to me randomly because he overhears you when I watch your videos 😂 We were both disappointed you didn't do it this time haha. But so excited to see an upload from you! Ive missed your videos
Maybe your UA-cam is dead because all the vlogs you post are the whole influencer style vlogs. Get back to basics and maybe you will be pleasantly surprised
I’ve watched sooo many episodes of red table talk. And man it’s deep and so eye opening. I love the conversation around the table. So refreshing and great to watch.
I just had to google your name just to check if you've posted recently; I'm on YT everyday and haven't seen you pop up on my suggestions (you used to). I came straight to the comments to check and let you know; realised tho after reading your description that it was the exact thing on your mind and that it is an issue!
Inshallah the more active you are again and people press on the lil bell, you'll be poppin' again!
I'm glad you and Sid are back doing Q&A's, they're great and I love your energy together, I always feel like I'm part of it seeing as it's so laid back. Thank you for that
The whole family took their hijabs off, well it is their choice but kinda weird.
I used to love your videos because they were so fun and hilarious. I miss those videos especially when you do the snack testing from other countries with Sid. They were my favourite. You should do more content like that and actually videos and not ads for the whole entire video cause it feels to fake. I’m not hating I’m just stating my opinion.
I only clicked this bc you said please. I usually skip suggestions I get for your videos. Honestly I can’t speak for anyone else but why I’ve stopped checking for your videos and watching your videos is bc I can’t relate much anymore. You’re older w a family, most of your viewers are younger. If you did more videos targeted at an older audience - I think your views would be back.
Genuine advice: look inward and see if this is that you guys want to do. Dina sometimes you come of miserable and I
have felt like this detachment.
Its seems as if you guys are struggling and aren't interested in being here anymore.
If you are, you got to be regular with content, be authentic and have a positve vibe.
Both of you need to sit down and have a long talk.
You guys still have a good base and can come out on top InshaAllah
Heeyyyy! Welcome back! Look after your emotional health and come back when you're ready - burnout is really sh*tty, but it's now a perfect time for evaluation, discovering what you used to love about making YT content and how to move forward. Check out Yes Theory for some uplifting content that I think both you and Mr Khan will dig - esp the insane challenging of Will Smith to Heli Bungee over the grand Canyon...spoiler...Will agreed! - but their everyday vlogs are more about how human beings connect and to seek discomfort to conquer fear. Inshallah you'll find your natural flow and we'll support your endeavours. Peace out Okhti!
I used to love watching your youtube channels and Sid's bcus it's relevant to me as a muslim, I'm not a fashion and makeup enthusiast but watching you innovatively making your passion come to live made me wanted to pursue mine. My stance is truly neutral about how I felt you ditching the hijab culture but the fact that most of your viewers/audience is dominated by muslims, I think we felt sort of disconnected. Comparing it with your views and video contents when you have your hijab on, it's really interesting how much it has affected majority female muslims esp those conservatives whlist the ones who stayed watching and accepted you for who you are, are more open minded. I personally don't wana make judgemental opinions about you taking your hijab off bcus it's supposed to be between you and Allah. If taking your hijab off makes you happy then be happy and embrace it. If putting your hijab on makes you demotivated or unhappy or worries you, be the self you wanted to be. You can't satisfy everyone in this social media plateform Dina. You losing views isn't even your fault to begin with and neither do the viewers. I honestly never watch your videos anymore bcus I felt irrelevant, disconnected and I miss the past Dina a lot (I don't blame you for your choice of change). But like I said you do you and can't satisfy everyone and neglect your mental health. Peace be upon you and fam. Xx
tru... i actually felt bad sometimes while watching her videos or seeing her instragram post. Cause mentally i really wanted the old dina back but reality was like no, the most important is her happiness. So yeah i needed to stop watching her video cause i didn’t want to tru a negative pattern in my head.
Quick short videos are all I'm after these days, even though I'll watch a billion short videos, one long one I'll put off thinking I don't have the time for it or I'll feel too guilty watching
Great video Dina! You never disappoint with the interesting, well edited content and it's nice to support someone who has morals and is never fake! ❤️❤️❤️
I didn’t realise that you had a new Chanel - just randomly decided to look for you and found this, so happy to have your videos again. You are beautiful - I know it’s not my place to comment but with or without hijab you are still beautiful, the Dina I adore. Thank you for just being you 😘
Missed you guys! Life though. Y’all are funniest whenever you’re just chillin with fam! Cool to watch Jada too. 🌻☀️✨
i will always watch your vids. Just pls dont ever stop
u flew away to success which is amazing for u...but u left us all behind ...the simple ppl dat made ur views🤷♀️
Honestly thought she was gonna say "please welcome Dina Tokio to the stage" but it was Jada Pinkett Smith. I thought I didn't know you sang and acted as well as everything else!
Me too I honestly felt sad when she didn't welcome Dina!
Lol same
22 mins of Sid annoying/roasting Dina's mom😂😂❤️
A) love you guys 💕
B) all of us are subject in our work life to performance reviews - this is how yours happens
C) need to get your YT mojo back!!
Dina you are bloody gorgeous!!!!! Binge watching here in lockdown land🥴
yes dinaaaa ! ik you have a lot of jobs to do , being a mom , managing your career, try and not forget us ! you have talent, and we all attracted to your content, but just try to upload more often and we love the vlogs , and now and then you can do shopping videos, what to buy, how to style 9 outfits, updated daily make up , what’s in for this autumn, what would be a good buy ( but pls from shops like zara , hm , reserved , mohito = affordable shops) . i care for youuu dina , care for us as well
you could post hairstyle videos, how you mix certain patterns clothing wise , shoesssssss! watches ! earring, jewellery ( affordable) ! we love you
sid you as well , post stufff , we adore your cooking videos
Dina! Keep posting vids, truly anything! I’ve been following you since forever. Upload and your followers will watch!
That deep connection with Mama and the horse, heart touching moment. Speechless ..
The very first video that brought me to your channel was your birth story with Hanna and I really connected with you cause I was about to be a mother with my first and you were just so down to earth. I would love to see more videos like the motherhood side of you, make up tutorials, tasting food from other countries. I LOVE the Ramadan vlogs especially where you tell what foods you’ll get to eat and how you cook them. I can’t imagine how hard it is to consistently stay in the creative flow and I applaud you for trying and also being willing to say that yea you’re views are dead but you want to fix it.
I started watching you back when you just got off facebook and into youtube. I really liked your personality, confidence. I liked seeing what lipsticks you had, how you styled different pieces in your closet, how you did your make up. Not because i was going to do my make up the same way or dress like you but because i liked seeing you talk about those things you liked. It was smaller, bad quality cam, in your parents house. Felt genuine, like watching a friend. Then you got married and had kids around the same time i did. I could still relate. But you stopped uploading as frequently and started making more adds. Dont mind them, untill it becomes all adds.
There are people that i have been following for as long as you that upload on a regular basis, meaning i can look forward to their video. They also didnt change their formula, which was just a genuine insight in their lives. Just goofing with friends and family. Sometimes boring days. I really liked your vlogs. I can also understand that uploading on a regular basis can get tiring and at some point you want to share less of your life with the whole world.
I would love if you posted more fashion, beauty/scarf tutorials! I loved them in the past! I know you don’t wear the scarf anymore but it would be nice to see your dope styling! Thanks for sharing the Jada segment! She’s ahhhmazing! ❤️
Sabirah Parker me too i miss them so much. I remember not so long ago, i went tru my instagram i notice she changed her bio. That hit me like a bullet. That wasn’t hijabi modest know/it-all but simply another discription.... and that made me feel so sad cause i was thinking... she really is distancing her self from the hijabi fashion community. 🥺
You are beautiful and I love to watch your lovely family interacting. How could i NOT watch!? Much love, hugs and prayers for you all!
I believe that as long as you create videos that YOU like to make, and that make you happy, the views and followers will come along too.
Just keep at it, and post because you want to, not because anyone is pushing you 💙🌟🙏🏻
Where have you been?! It's so good to see you and the family! At first I thought it was all Jada Pinket Smith and was disappointed and nearly bailed, but it was you guys, with your sister and mum! More please!
I dunno I feel your videos are not as entertaining as they used to be. I used to look forward to your videos. Maybe you should review your content? Just a suggestion.
The other day I was talking to my fiancé that how much I miss your videos... you please keep uploading ..there are people who loves you❤️💫
I love you guys. I'm watching your videos since years and you guys are like a part of my family. Please continue uploading videos. Lots of love and best wishes from your sister from Germany😘❤
i just sit and watch ur old videos now...
😲 I forgot about u until I saw the suggestion😱
Great to see you guys out together and enjoying Sid’s spiffy outfit 👍🏼.
Love the growth in you and your the kids and life. Catch up time for me.
Man idk why people are so fussed that the vlogs aren't what they used to be. I think they're great
Dina,
I love and welcome the chemistry between you and Sid. Just Awesome! You guys are so cool and modern together. Keep it up. Sid reminds me of cool guys from NYC.
“...that should make me a sammich right now!”..😂
My advice is to find something else to work on, and grow out of UA-cam. You are growing up, and by getting older, everybody change hopefully for the best. Will UA-cam still be able to help you financially in the future, and do you see yourself still doing this ten years from now? From my perspective I witnessed that social media has had a bad influence on your faith, and it's more important to keep a strong faith than to compromise and stay relevant on UA-cam.
I loved how manic sids commentary was 😂😂
Been loving Dina's hair sooo much. Lovely fringe with her recent 70's style vibes... Very inspiring
Your views are down because you upload once every blue moon, and when you do, it is paid promotions. You demotivate people to watch your videos, not the opposite. Take responsibility.
Hey girl!! Long time no comment. I hear this is happening to a lot of bigger UA-cam channels. But if it’s your content, honestly I miss your older videos where you did outfits and it was more personable. Now all I see is Vlogs and I don’t personally watch vlogs much. Like just now I watched Jada for 10 min I don’t care so much about what Jada has to say, I want to watch you on your channel haha Than 50% of your video was Sid. ;P Where are you? Haha
Sid is a nice and supportive husband, mashAllah, it is nice to see how you guys interact with one another. May Allah bless and protect you both and keep you guys close, ameen.
Aww man, I wanted to see that Korean thing expand
The reason you don't have views is that like almost all famous people, you've started taking yourself too seriously. All constructive criticism to you is categorically defined as hate. I absolutely have and continue to support your decision to take off your hijab and not get bullied for it. However, you seem to have lost the love you had for making UA-cam videos and it's now all about promotional stuff to make money. I understand it's your job but every video made to promote stuff is over the top. I cannot relate to your high end lifestyle because that's neither my life nor my priority. You yourself have alienated a major chunk of your audience by making the decision to only cater to people who prioritize branded clothes and fancy shoes. Your Q and A videos with Sid introduced me to your channel and they used to be hilarious. You two were completely natural with no pretense. Now it seems like a fake projection of an image where there is a lack of meaningful conversation in favour of shoving more brands and gifts that you've got down our throats. I really used to love your videos and I still watch the old ones from time to time but it's your lack of authenticity, meaningful everyday conversations and relatability that is causing us to not watch.
Dina, your aura has changed and so has your energy. You don't look happy. You still look beautiful but your sparkle is dwindling. In the hijab days you really looked like a gorgeous queen and had noor in your face. I think you need to make a plan. You have an amazing mother in law that did amazing work in Pakistan. I found her channel via yours. Get more involved, do more sadaqah. Otherwise what is the purpose in life? Taking photos isn't enough you need to feed your soul with noor, with good deeds and you will feel totally different. I noticed for a while that you were looking down from all your social media posts. May Allah give you hidayah and light your path. You're gorgeous and have a great platform. Don't give up.
What a kind and beautiful comment!😢It's so beautiful how you give her suggestions and encourage her to keep her work/former success with UA-cam up. You didn't judge her or said things that may push her away from the Muslim community and *her faith. Thank you so much for your kindness towards her and your constructive criticism. I think your comment even would inspire and encourage others. ❤ You're a beautiful soul. May you be rewarded and blessed for it. Amen.(*Autocorrect typo corrected)
@@forabetterrelationshipbetw1244 that's so sweet of you. You can tell Dina and family are good people. We all go through our ups and downs. The times when we are in limbo can be really scary and I don't wish anyone to feel that way even though it is a part of life. This is an awesome platform and there so much good stuff that can be done. Dina could be doing makeovers, image consulting and styling for modest ladies. Designing some stylish burkinis. I would book Dina for a personal hijab tutorial and shopping trip. She has superb taste and I would love to see her succeed. May Allah bless and inspire her and all the other subscribers on this channel. Best wishes to you and thanks for sweet message.
Are you guys feelig better? Hope the cold/whatever has passed. Sickness and babies is hard.
HELLOOO dina! You probably wont see this or read it but I have loved your vlogs for the longest time, and have kept up with you and your family for ages, my suggestion from my personal opinion is that you should upload the famous family vlogs! those seem to be your most popular and tbh my favorite vlogs. there was nothing more than I enjoyed than coming home from school and tuning into one of your vlogs at home, where your just chilling with the family and your cats! (who p.s. we haven't seen in ages!!) Or a cooking with Sid video, or family dinner, anything! I love those types of vlogs and I think everyone can agree! I hope you never stop vlogging, dont let views get you down, you have a very loyal fanbase and we love you no matter what!
( TASTE TEST CHALLANGE)
Honestly, I still love your channel and make it a point to watch your new videos. That being said, I agree with what some people are saying. I really miss a lot of the older content you put out on your channels, particularly the Ask Sid and Dina videos. I know you've expressed feeling hesitant about posting more opinion-based/personal content due to the (frankly ridiculous) backlash you received after taking your scarf off. Ultimately, you need to do what is best for you and your family but also know that there are a lot of us out there who support your decision and value your perspective. I'm not even a muslim but have continued to follow you over the years because your content has given me insight and taught me a lot.
Just what I think, consistency gets views on here and ofc u know that better than I do, and so does authenticity! Hope y’all are doing well, I love watching your vlogs when they are genuine and raw like u said u love saying shit as u please. Ads and all are fine ofc secure that bag but also balance it with other content so it doesn’t all look scripted and commercial. I’d love to see some sit down content from you like old times, maybe a talk through grwm or q&a etc. Etc. so you can interact & connect more w the audience. ❤️
OHH Dina, ur so cute! just read your discription box! I was saying to yself where are these videos I missed you and will watch!
Finally hearing sid again ...and it's not just about fashion ...or it is :3 yes be back on UA-cam do less Instagram please . love .
I enjoy your makeup videos and clothing try-ons! I don’t really like vlogs but that’s just me 😆 Even if you don’t edit or anything, I will watch any makeup or try-ons even from a phone camera haha! But I’ll try to watch all your videos just to help with your views 😘
I love Jada’s outfit 😍😍😍 and will always love watching your videos Dina! ♥️
Dina since ur mum likes horse riding please read up about Freedom from the Urban Equatrian Acadamy, search the Leicester mercury article. My teenage daughter started riding through this pilot scheme, usually horse riding lessons can be pretty expensive and some under privalegd children wouldnt get a chance at this. He has decided to make it available to all communities. Hes trying to help the youth and hes trying to make it a more multicultural sport. If theres any way you could support this then it would be great. First hijabi to win a race happened recently and my daughter being asian now believes tht ther is a chance fr her dream tocome true aswel. Hope ur mums going to the Olympia London Horse show in December x its a big event x
I’m not sure why I stopped clicking on your videos. However I watched this one in it’s entirety and I appreciate it very much.
