Like you said, the majority of youtubers now are spending sooo much time (and money) on their videos, because they want subscribers and fame. I love your content, because it's not an everyday thing, and that means it doesn't get boring. You also talk about relatable topics, not how many cars you own - and it's interesting, and also amazing to hear that others feel and think the same way about things! I'm bad at explaining stuff - what I'm trying to say is, your content is genuine and real, and that's what i love about your channel!
Your high sub count just shows how likeable and down to Earth you are. Don’t let it stress you, I’m subbed to you and will watch when you post videos, but it’s not like I’m sitting waiting for you to post
Self-entitled people are never as self-aware as you are. Human beings grow to expect what we become used to, and that is the trap of social media that makes us all victims of our own expectations which it of course reinforces. This is perfectly normal but needs to be managed in a healthy way. Talking about it is one of those outlets. Schedule... both pronunciations are correct, sked-dule is the American version, shed-dule is the British one :)
never pressure yourself to decide what you wanna do in the future!! one day you’ll find something you love to do and feel inspired to do and you just need to hold on until that day and be patient♡
Kovu don’t worry to much about the future! I have no idea what I’m gonna do but sometimes you just have to chill. Don’t feel bad for having all your followers...I just really love the things you talk about it helps me a lot I love you you’re beautiful.
Both of your channels are incredibly genuine and you noticing when people don’t wish you happy birthday or whatever is something that a lot of ppl do, it doesn’t make you a bad person at all. The fact that you even talk about this immediately proves that you aren’t doing things just for attention
In my opinion I think your platforms have grown so much because you don't upload so often, and because you sit down and genuinely talk to us about real things that are going on in your life, and we relate to them. I have been subscribed to you now for almost four years and it's because you post real, genuine content that has helped me figure things out in my life. I don't care how often you upload because when you eventually upload it's good content, you show us the real you and you talk to us as friends not as fans or subscribers. I hope that made sense. but don't sweat it we are going to support you no matter what! ~MADDS
Bro??? Honestly I love u so much?? Please keep up the good work and like dude your face is,,, so incredibly beautiful wtf, also congrats on 200,000!!youre honestly not entitled and it’s okay!! Don’t worry, you’re not a bad person! Also I didn’t realise your bday came I’m so sorry I was gonna send smthn but honestly I didn’t know I’m so sorry. You are not a prick and never will be.
Love you Kovu! I hope you have an amazing day and I hope you had an amazing birthday because you deserve happiness. You help so many people including me so thank you!!!
I get you, my Intagram is getting pretty big and I was super scared and upset because I don't post since december, why are people following me?! My friend said to me "Just the worry that you are putting in to this is worth it the followers. They are following you because they WANT TO. So just post when you feel like It." It made me feel a little better, she tried 😂 . Remember, everything you have you work for it, even if you don't realise it. Oh, and the uni stuff, I get it, I'm 16 and I'm from Brazil (and I'm in the last year of school) I feel young to go to uni and I really wanna move, but for this to happen I have to study, but I don't know what to study.... I hope you feel better, always 💙.
I don't think it makes you a bad person to expect something that you're used to having happen. I think it's good that you're aware that you have those expectations, because then you can work on not having them or whatever (if you want). Idk if that made sense, and I'm not a therapist or anything, that's just my opinion. Love you Kovu ❤️
Hej Kovu ! Please don't be so hard on yourself. You are NOT self-entitled. A simple way you can tell that you are not is: A self-entitled person wouldn't even ever say that they "get sick of their own face". Instead they'd have high expectations and DEMAND that those be met because they think of themselves as exceedingly deserving just because of who they are. And if those high expectations aren't met, they'd not just be surprised the way that you are. They'd be angry and upset and would throw temper tantrums. Self-entitled people are also very emotionally volatile and lash out. YOU on the other hand are one of the most humble and kind and down-to-earth people I know :) And don't worry too much about your future (uni etc.), either. Of course, that's a big step/a new mile stone. And I know from personal experience that getting used to that new phase in your life can be difficult/take time. And uncertainty mixed with responsibility can indeed be daunting. But you can also look at it this way: It's a time to learn new things, not just academically but also personally. A time to explore and find answers. A time of self-growth. Just be patient and don't give up and you will eventually find your place and understand what it is that you want to do and how you can best achieve it (without neglecting your mental health or sacrificing personal happiness!) :) I wish you all the best and I believe in you !
I understand. If you continue to not feel motivated, how about you deliberately take a break for a certain amount of time? I guess that would take some of the pressure away for a while. See it as a sabbatical or as fasting - that would just be a normal thing to do when you have too much on your mind. Don't pressure yourself, Kovu - people won't hate you, won't think badly about you or be angry if you don't post for a few weeks or even months. So many other "UA-camrs" didn't, and yes, some have been nagging and begging for content, but when they, sometimes after years, came back on, oftentimes having changed considerably, they were still greeted with kindness, understanding and support. And even if they changed so much that they lost large chunks of their original audience - that is not the end of the world. I can imagine that it must be difficult to feel an expectation to keep making videos, when you have been continuously doing them for so long and have amassed a large following. You and your audience, i.e. "friends", as you have often called us, have been communicating via your channels for years now, but you have lead the communication. And if for whatever reason, you feel that the reasons which have been making you want to communicate with us become less important to you, it wouldn't be a tad bit entitled, selfish or arrogant of you to lessen or halt this communication. Although you've surely helped many kids around the world by sharing snippets of your life and showing them they're not alone, it is not your job to do that and be a role model for them. Your channel(s) are yours, and yours only. Other than that, I know that growing up and seeing real adulthood slowly emerging on the horizon can be very scary. It surely was for me. It's exciting, but unless you're as lucky to have always known what you want to do for a living, the multitude of options also can cause a good deal of uncertainty, doubts and questioning. That is absolutely fine. It takes time to figure out what you want to do, and you may change your mind along the way. And, whether you're 17, or 25, as I am, or 80 years old, we will always, time and again, face some kind of difficulty in our lives. That won't ever change. So, however regularly you'll post a video, what matters ultimately is whether you enjoy doing it. Lots of love from Germany to up north, Niklas
I for some reason really want to go all the way to Norway to meet you. I feel like I’d have a lot of long conversations of many topics. I feel like you’d be very interesting to talk too. Much love (again) Michigan
wow i went from watching a nov 2017 video to this ( sept 2018 ) and your voice between that is completley changed :) Greedings from here in Fredrikstad .
No it's definetly not fair to beat yourself up on those things. Yes, i dont know you, but because of those habits of people 'liking' you, or more like expectations, you are NOT a bad person. I mean seriously. I have these trains of thoughts too, i mean when i post some of my music, i also 'expect' people to like it. Of course i dont like it that much when i catch myself thinking that. I think as long as those flattering comments, birthday wishes or compliments dont go to your brain, when its not like you depend on it to feel good or valid, its ok. Dont be that hard on yourself. ( i dont really know if that was what you actually meant but yo. Btw excuse my english) I hope you had a great week, and i wish you lots of happiness in the future.
That voice is liquid gold, Kovu. And NOBODY WILL GET TIRED OF YOUR FACE!!!!! (I'm on Discord!! I joined the server and I met a lot of really nice/adorable people!! My Discord is BabyJae05, and I'd really LOOOOOOOOOVE to talk to someone like u!! Coz ur so friggin' adorable!!) Okay, I'm done now. Love ya!
You do not have to upload videos on a regular basis. You owe people nothing. If you want to make a video then do but don’t feel obligated to do anything
Hey kovu, just letting you know if you forgot or something but your birth name is on the internet I'm not gonna say where so others dont find it but yea.......I feel bad now because I'm a random stranger on the internet who found your birth name btw not on UA-cam.
danasuaris- reks hi! Yeah I know, it’s out there. I can’t really take it down cos I’m not in control of where it’s currently on. But no one has ever used it against me online so so far it doesn’t bother me all that much. Thanks for letting me know anyway tho!
I do not think your actively giving people a false impression. I think it's rather that they are used to people who put videos out to make money so they're (most likely unconsciously) just assuming that's the case for you too.
Hi Kovu! I had to stop your video ten minutes in. you are too hard on yourself! You get followers because ppl recognize themselves in you. I'm mad at myself because your present is still sitting on my nightstand! And ppl have a right to be sad when their birthday is not recognized, because we are raised to think it is one of the best days of the year. And when it is ignored, we get sad. Maybe the Jehovah's Witnesses have a good point because they do not celebrate birthdays. Ok, back to the video Oh, I didn't know you checked your FB page everyday.
I was also surprised to discover that ppl make UA-cam a "career." Of course, I'm old! :) I love your new wall cover! You did a great job. I always knew what I wanted to do when I 'grew up'. It's just that "thing" changed every month. :) I wanted to be a veterinarian until my Dad stuck his arm up inside one of our cows when she was in labor and the contractions really hurt his arm. Plus, I got a D in Biology. I wanted to be an auctioneer. My Dad said I would not be good at it since I would have to be out in all sorts of weather. (Like I only milked cows in good weather?) I wanted to be a photographer. I was told I was too stupid for that. I wanted to be a writer. I still want to do that. I watched a movie about a boy who tried to kill himself after his brother did kil himself, I loved the character of the psychologist so much that I decided that was what I wanted to do. And, I did go to college and make Psychology my major. The first course I took was Pscyh 101 and I took it "Keller Plan" which means you study on your own and go in and take tests as you finish a section. You can go in and talk to the Teacher's Assistants. Well, I am not a self-motivated person. So, that did not work out. In fact, the first chapter talked about a psychiatrist named Jean Piaget and I thought that was a woman! I finally changed my major to English and stuck with that. I did not have a minor. I took what they call "collateral courses". It's kind of like a split minor. I took Native American Studies and Communications. some ppl know exactly what they want to do and then they do it. Some ppl are clueless until something comes along. Of course, we would like to see you more often. Maybe if you just did a five minute video? I have been following you long enough that I can't remember how I found your channel. But, it has given me something to care about. I am doing my small part to encourage trans teens to become trans adults. I hate the suicide rate!!! Blessings to you, as always, and to your friend who is troubled. Love, Shalal

AnotherRandom Person thank you so so much! Hearing that means a lot. It makes me really happy :)

don't be too hard on yourself, you're an amazing person, and we all love you
Your amazing and you need to know that
Even you that's reading this♥️love yourself

You do not have to upload videos on a regular basis. You owe people nothing. If you want to make a video then do but don’t feel obligated to do anything
I like your name and personality you are so manly 👌💕😂
