ok break starts now will be back to posting in around a week! follow my socials if u want i am most active on twitter and insta and i am most famous on tiktok they r all ro ramdin
Taking a week off is hardly a break! Please take more time if you need it, or at the very least start back with some content that writes itself and is easier to make. I'd much rather wait longer between videos instead of having you risk burning out completely and not wanting to do UA-cam at all anymore.
The way Ro’s videos simultaneously comfort me and tuck me into bed at night giving me a little kissy on my forehead but also slap me across the face and call me a sad little idiot is astounding
every time I watch a Rose video she makes a remark that is so harrowingly real that it throws my mind into a void space both full of thought and completely empty and then in the distance I hear her say some insanely accurate comparison that is so powerful that it thrusts me back into the real world. I like it a lot!
I find myself rewinding her videos so often because she’ll say something so profound I need to hear it more that once to really process such bold levels of honesty that I need reflection within myself… putting out videos like that week after week has got to be emotionally exhausting. Glad she’s recognizing the need for a break and taking it.
Reminder that Ron is no more correct than Ro. It can be very easy to become convinced the cynic in your head is the truthful one because of their ability to cut down any and all arguments you make. But they can do that because they’re inability to feel positivity confines the world they live in to their own observations. Ro has hope, which Ron sees as pathetic and self-aggrandizing. Ron’s wrong about hope. Am I projecting my own psyche onto an internet stranger who I know nothing about? Yes. Do I love that stranger for their ability to make me see myself in their art? Absolutely.
truly one of the most entertaining and authentic content creators around. calling her a “commentator” seems unfitting because she brings so much to the table with her writing, comedy, editing, and music skills. she’s an a r t i s t. ugh. love this human.
can we PLEASE talk about how ro has been adding these philosophical/cinematic shots in her most recent videos?? like??????? my heart is soaring, these are the kinds of videos i love to see. i love how much effort you put into these, they're your heart and soul, blood sweat and tears. and it really shows. love your videos, your humor, and the direction you're going.
There's so much to them, I love them too and I feel like I leave comments almost every time saying so 😂 she's really talented at self shooting, as someone who's tried it it's really impressive how beautiful her shorts are
i’m obsessed with those shots of ro and ron later in the video!!! and all of the outdoor shots of course. my other favorite shots were from the chick tracts video with all of the church shots it was gorgeous
stanning ro ramdin isn’t just a hobby, it’s a lifestyle, a reason to breathe, an escape from this cruel world filled with thieves. it’s art, the first gift you open on xmas, a hug from a loved one, everything you’ve ever wanted, everything you need, the universe itself.
this is a wonderful video i really saw myself in, and it had a lot of insightful things to say for me to ponder and grow on but the best line by far was "mr. beast views for mr. bean prices"
you're videos are genuinely the most relatable things in the world - signed a depressed, adhd ridden, slowly mentally deteriorating, trans woman sitting alone surrounded by undone laundry
I don't know how literal the "split" was but as someone who struggles with dissociation this was just. Way too relatable. The part about catering to niches, and the overall arching message that that is what lets you survive on this platform? Valid. Everytime I see an ad or get 2 unskippable ads in a row and take that time to contemplate the platform, it's gradual shift to this sort of... nightmare currency of our time and energy. It's like being doused with water, and your clothes are still soaked from last time but now you're chilled to the bone all over again and it eats at you in a special way. I don't care if you're part of the system. As is commonly said, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. I'm nonbinary, and I'm simply appreciative of a trans voice, and your perspective on things, because that is truly special. Many voices will echo your sentiment but you put the message out there, and you have united them, if only a small portion of the whole. Take care Ro, and thank you.
Not to take away from your anti-child rhetoric, but babies having crazy grip strength is most likely a carryover from when we were apes and had to hang on to our mother to not die. One of the reflex tests they do for newborns is a grip test
I'm in a manic episode rn scrubbing all my walls and just listening Ro talking about the complexities of human life interacting with algorithms and capitalist marketing schemes and it's all a very cozy vibe
This video is really well done and entertaining, and I can see why you’re overwhelmed/exhausted. Shorter videos with less content is still loved and appreciated by your viewers too! We don’t want you overworking yourself either
the spiderman 3 joke landed so perfectly for me. you have no idea how many times I’ve seen that movie and how that joke clicked so fast and made me laugh way harder than it should have
I normally don’t leave comments because I get anxious about being judged for the stupid things I say BUT it should be said that your content falls in a fascinating niche of being clever and quick witted in the humor but also being really profound? Like I feel like I’m getting a synthesis of multiple genres of content every time, and like this is a pinnacle of those genres. My point being, you are doing something extremely worthwhile here and I look forward to every upload.
I am very late, but your comment is intelligent and insightful and it would be a waste if your (unfounded) fear of ridicule stopped you taking part any more. The anxiety is real and sometimes it's less harmful to remain quiet (a choice which should be honoured)- but know that you don't sound foolish at all. Take care.
Honestly, this honesty and self-reflection is the type of content that *I* want to make some day, for what it's worth. Videos like this are helpful to people who are feeling the same thing, and make me feel like it's not the end of the world if I actually talk about the fact that I have emotions sometimes lol
I genuinely dont think ive ever seen a useful, practical life hack that wasn't something completely obvious. anyway, thanks for the video, Ro, I love your content! (edit) it seems I have been proven wrong! comment more life hacks pls, theyre cool!
The only one I've ever used was to put your belt loops around the button on your jeans so they'll fit tighter. I use it for my work pants because they're way too loose for me (and I don't have a belt).
i saw one about running a jar under hot water to open it (which seems obvious but it's life changing lmao). also the ones for opening bottles without bottle openers. the rest are just more difficult than the original task or for situations that don't exist
i have never watched another commentary so terrifyingly in line with my exact thought processes. i've seen many of the other life hack commentary videos, but this is the only one that i truly _felt._
Holy shit, Ro, every time you have one of your internal monologues it's like I'm being punched in the gut in a good way. This was an incredible video and I hope you have a wonderful week off.
Honestly, while I think you always have an interesting and insightful take, most of the reason why your videos are special is because of your personality and your humor. I don’t care if you’re padding out the runtime, because what I’m watching for isn’t just the facts or opinions. We watch because we like you and your way of *delivering* those facts and opinions. If I just want the cold, hard facts, I can do my own research into something. So please know that you don’t need to be making ground breaking, entirely unique points for your videos to be worthwhile. Even if you were just regurgitating info from scholarly sources in an entertaining and accessible way, that would still be worth watching and would be helping people understand or think about complex topics that they may not have thought about before. And even when I already agreed and knew about something you covered, I still enjoy the hell outta your videos. What makes your videos special is *you.*
I really fucking love the argument between Rose and Ron. The juxtaposition of blue light for the Masc person and the red/pink light for the fem person and then the subsequent turning off of those exclisivities to make way for a new possibly, the combination of the two, with the purple lights. Cinematography at it's finest babes and barbs
as someone who got diagnosed/medicated for ADHD during the pandemic (it's already been almost a year since then, good gravy) i want to express my empathy. getting diagnosed, given the fact We Live In A Society (that often only cares about whether or not your symptoms impair your ability to be productive within capitalism) can be labyrinthine and frustrating as hell, but getting meds and the validation/explaination that there's... a reason for why I'm like this was a major help for me, personally. thank you for making these videos, i hope you enjoy your break -- guiltlessly, if possible! smoochies, o beloved internet personality Ro Rurnham /lh
babe, genuinely my favorite part of this video is the “filler” joke entertainment. You’re INTENSELY funny and I actually laugh at your videos, not just a huff of breath out of my nose. I really see you having a genuine and successful career in comedy, not just commentary.
The longer I live, the more I think that it's almost impossible to be "right", even if you go 5 levels of introspection and reflection deep. I get that feeling from this video. I reckon we gotta stop thinking we are supposed to min-max life, just do "things" and be nice to people when you can.
The editing and the writing of this one was brutal and beautiful. So impressed with how you shot and edited the argument toward the end. The audio was perfectly timed to feel natural. The lighting in your wider shots is always so cool, and I love the music you use throughout your videos! Take the time you need to coalesce. Your content is killer, and I imagine it must be exhausting to be so brilliant and clever all the damn time. I really enjoy hearing your perspective and what you have to say. ♥
“nothings dying unless it gets shot by that fucking dog” LMFAOO honestly though, i look forward to all of these videos and i anticipate the moment where everything just breaks. i absolutely love it cause i constantly have conversations/arguments with myself in my own head. this is the type of entertainment i’ve been dying to take in, as a creator/artist i try to do it within music, but i absolutely love seeing it done so fucking well in a format like this. see u after ur break :)
a lot of commentary videos are easy to just listen to in the background and not really 'watch', but your videos are always so visually appealing in terms of editing and lighting and camerawork that they hold the viewers entire attention. its consistantly interesting to hear what you have to say regardless of the topic
I forgot to read the patch notes! I had no clue my gender has been phased out. Thank you for keeping us up to date Rose! LMAO! With how talented you are at filming, producing, songwriting and writing in general, I have no doubt in my mind that your channel will either be ultra successful or you will own your own series on Netflix one day. I have seen many, many different videos and there isn't a single creator like you on the platform.
I aspire to be this witty. I'm getting funnier just listening to Ro. Hey if she wants to become a scammy UA-cam influencer she should sell a course on "how to become quippy for quality content creation in 10 days or less"
Each new video Ro posts definetly convinces me more she's my new favourite youtuber I'm not even joking, these are just so 🤌🤌🤌🤌 although the frequency in which she pumps these out is worrisome
I do just wanna say, Ro, the source list IS very helpful! The audience may be a bit small for them, but as a new generation of scholars enter college and start writing about the effect video essayists and commentators have on the popular conservation, being able to look at the sources for these videos will be a great help! I know I've run into the problem a few times already!
it’s hard to trust a lot of videos you see. i definitely agree and when i check a video for sources and actually find them for once, it seriously does make me light up a bit.
i loved the contrast between the two sides, how they're presented as the right and wrong sides, but then "ron" goes first and turns the video structure around. i can't really word it but their conflict is really well executed. there's probably some sort of symbolism there with how the red and blue lamps are dimmer when separated but the lights come on brighter and purple when they settle. there's a lot of food for thought.
Wow, the ACTUAL commentary in this video is so, so, so good. Love that you point out how weird it is that we continue to "feign surprise" at these videos as you put it, when at this point it's painfully obvious exactly why they exist and exactly why they're never going away. So well done, absolutely blown away at the quality of your writing
This inner back and forth is beautifully chaotic, I cant explain how validating this felt for me. thank you for being vulnerable with the world, i appreciate the fuck out of it
11:47--12:27 that joke about lifehacking the love for an significant other went from stupid to profound back to stupid, all encased in an ominous vibe. I'm impressed :)
its nice to have a fem presenting commentator to watch ☺️ ive always loved this genre but oh my god is it male dominated... I just wanted to say Ro I love seeing more femininity in this community to look to for content and commentary!!
commentator. actress. cinematographer. you're so many things at once and your videos are some of the most unique ive seen! i love them and i love your writing and delivery. take it one step at a time, you're doing amazing! : )
this is the best video ive ever seen, ro you are so hilarious. the living embodiment of, as gaga said "talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, showstopper, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it"
17:34 btw, that statistic is for Odessa, Texas. Odesa, Ukraine (the place where troom troom is broadcasting from) is actually around 95% white which makes the situation even worse.
this video was basically an art piece ro. holy fuck i enjoyed every fucking second, thank you for putting this out. take as many breaks as you need! ill beat the fuck out of anyone who complains xoxo take care
As someone with DID, the ro/ron interactions were very relatable 😅 Anyway, this video was great! Take your rest as you need it, we can’t live in the grind 24/7
This was really well done and kinda made me sad that you talk to yourself like that. You're very creative and intelligent and I can see that the way your brain works can overwhelm you. Take as much time as you need on a break, we all deserve rest but especially you after making this fantastic video.♥️
Damn girl, look at you go!! I feel like I discovered you yesterday and you had a very low number of subs and here you are getting thousands of views in the first hour!
I found your channel from the nft video on twitter, then heard nick mention and you all the time. I love your content and I'm excited for your channel's growth, cause it's definetely happening. Love you, keep up the good work
I am in love with the symbolism of the colors in your videos. In this one in particular, your use of Red & Blue to differentiate your different sides and the way they come together at the end with the beautiful color purple.
I agree that babies are ultra strong. Like WAY too strong for their size. My brother is only three and could break my fingers if he put the slightest effort into it. Plus when he was an infant he punched me in the face and I cried 🙃 its an unnecessary curse from nature
The unmediated ADHD joke hits me different, literally put off my taxes for two fucking years my roommate gave me one Ritalin and did them I’ve made no life progress since
Ro baby please don’t burn yourself out we need you to stick around! Don’t get my wrong I love the mounds of content but you’re spoiling us unnecessarily at the cost of your own well-being darling x
I think you've just gone up to my fav UA-camr maybe tied with one other. This is the sort of video essay I love, thank you, and I hope your break is restful!
You really articulated the vague feelings ive had about the direction youtube is going and incorporated the smaller points other people have made about it, and pulled out a poignant thesis on the 'content economy' i didnt know i was missing! Also seeing the color theory/lighting design start from the very beginning of the video and crescendo with the ro/ron dialogue was So Cool! it was an amazing touch that put this video over the edge of being my favorite of your work! definitely one of the best commentary videos ive seen all year.
rose i was expecting silly funny jokes and skits from this vid and as always you delivered so much more :'o your inner conflicts spoke to me so truly madly deeply... ever since graduating i keep chickening out on creative endeavours for fear of having to put monetary value on my work - especially in the youtube landscape (and yknow.. feeling hypocritical despite this being the only way to survive...) tc doll
i rarely comment on videos tbh, but i just want you to know that i hate you so much because this video is so good and is extremely well written that i have shat my pants multiple times for the whole 37 minutes of this video. i do hope you get a proper rest during your break! ❤️
I love how you show yourself not only arguing with yourself, but you're arguing with yourself who's in the space and affecting the space. This is how I picture my anxiety, so it's neat to see it shown in a video.
I genuinely love all of your videos. I love the comedy, I love the ends, I love the sketches, I love the overall message you give, and I ESPECIALLY love the "giving a dog a gun" jokes. I play these as something I can listen to while I go about my life and they are just so enjoyable :)
Thank you for being vulnerable with your audience. It's heartwarming to see so many creators finding ways to talk openly about the burdens that come along with that. Not to mention, the artistry of it being so inspiring Take care of yourself 💙
not 2 b parasocial on main but I relate a lot to the parts of urself/the thought processes you've included in ur videos thus far. ur probably the closest in age to me out of all the people i follow on here, which is wild going from being small and content creators/artists being millenials and then at the very least, like, the same age as my older siblings and now its like no this person took geometry with you. not actually! but thats the vibe this video especially has given me a lot to think about... i was thinking the other day, like, "nobody is gonna care about the stuff i make bc it isnt special, unlike someone like ro ramdin who obviously is making stuff that is really special" but then in this there is the kind of theme of like, struggling between mass-appeal and i guess artistic intent? or just the desire to make something that is "good enough" even when what you want to do is different from what is necessary to get clicks or whatever and its like. yeah i feel that srry i type like a teenager written by an adult from a late 2000's/early 2010's TV show im just like this
no bc deadass ur THE best commentary youtuber in my opinion. like my favorite. u were built for youtube and/or comedy like ur delivery is. unmatched. i literally love u
I don’t often find a YT channel that I recommend to everyone I know but this is definitely one of them. The way Ro weaves entertainment and education together by not only holding the viewer captive with their comedy but also the insight and empathy and self reflection…it’s genius. Thank you for being you. You make the world a better place to exist in.
This shit just kinda summed up the plural experience. I don't know if that was the intent, or conscious, but... Man, those hard conversations with your other selves suck. This was a banger. Take care of yourself.
you are one of my favorite creators and i love how vulnerable and relatable you are, while still adding hilarious bits of content and covering current topics, geniunely you’re a beautiful writer and amazing content creator, i can’t wait to see you continue to grow
as someone who has been making videos since the first year of youtube's existence, yet have never reached even ro's level of success, this video hits hard.
Everything you said about One Piece was dead on. I love One Piece. I probably need therapy, can't afford it but this fiction that's always taught me to never give up on my Nakama can't fire me like a Sky Williams therapist so I'm good
your content is so consistently high quality, you're a creator i always look forward to seeing on my homepage! you deserve a break, you've worked so hard building this channel on knock-out videos :) ps, the music used for this video is great, you're very multitalented !
ro is a youtuber i can already see getting a million subscribers. she responded to a few of my dms before and they were just chill and funny. we stan rose.
ok break starts now will be back to posting in around a week! follow my socials if u want i am most active on twitter and insta and i am most famous on tiktok they r all ro ramdin
You're amazing and so is all the work and effort you put into these, hope you have better days soon!
Take care of yourself and turn off your auto-focus!
Taking a week off is hardly a break! Please take more time if you need it, or at the very least start back with some content that writes itself and is easier to make. I'd much rather wait longer between videos instead of having you risk burning out completely and not wanting to do UA-cam at all anymore.
what a banger to leave on, take care
also I am not a system and I don't have DID but I think if you relate to this video on those grounds that's cool and awesome
The way Ro’s videos simultaneously comfort me and tuck me into bed at night giving me a little kissy on my forehead but also slap me across the face and call me a sad little idiot is astounding
Yes exactly!
Could not have said it any better

Every video of hers is just constant whiplash and I love it
Facts, not sure I could have put that into words but you did it eloquently.
I find myself rewinding her videos so often because she’ll say something so profound I need to hear it more that once to really process such bold levels of honesty that I need reflection within myself… putting out videos like that week after week has got to be emotionally exhausting. Glad she’s recognizing the need for a break and taking it.
This is so intensely accurate. Thanks for putting this into words.
I love that you frequently make it VERY clear that Bo Burnham comparisons are fully disallowed
i like how “life hacks in 2021 are ridiculous” can be interpreted as “the fact that we’re still covering life hacks in 2021 is ridiculous”

“nothings dying unless it gets shot by that fucking dog” LMFAOO
honestly though, i look forward to all of these videos and i anticipate the moment where everything just breaks. i absolutely love it cause i constantly have conversations/arguments with myself in my own head. this is the type of entertainment i’ve been dying to take in, as a creator/artist i try to do it within music, but i absolutely love seeing it done so fucking well in a format like this. see u after ur break :)
a lot of commentary videos are easy to just listen to in the background and not really 'watch', but your videos are always so visually appealing in terms of editing and lighting and camerawork that they hold the viewers entire attention.
its consistantly interesting to hear what you have to say regardless of the topic
I love how Ron went from annoying to interesting and engaging in the course of this video.
I forgot to read the patch notes! I had no clue my gender has been phased out. Thank you for keeping us up to date Rose! LMAO! With how talented you are at filming, producing, songwriting and writing in general, I have no doubt in my mind that your channel will either be ultra successful or you will own your own series on Netflix one day. I have seen many, many different videos and there isn't a single creator like you on the platform.
Wow! My weekly existential crisis! Thanks Rose!
Love the OG music Ro ❤ thanks for the new content! You're doing great, your wonderful personality and talent shines through the screen :)
she’s so talented fr!
LMAO I was so shocked I thought you had a hidden producer in the corner of your room!
I aspire to be this witty. I'm getting funnier just listening to Ro. Hey if she wants to become a scammy UA-cam influencer she should sell a course on "how to become quippy for quality content creation in 10 days or less"
The fucking Franz Kafka and dream cockroach joke in the intro absolutely floored me so hard I literally screeched.
Wonderful, just in time before my intrusive thoughts kick in
Each new video Ro posts definetly convinces me more she's my new favourite youtuber
I'm not even joking, these are just so 🤌🤌🤌🤌 although the frequency in which she pumps these out is worrisome
I do just wanna say, Ro, the source list IS very helpful! The audience may be a bit small for them, but as a new generation of scholars enter college and start writing about the effect video essayists and commentators have on the popular conservation, being able to look at the sources for these videos will be a great help! I know I've run into the problem a few times already!
it’s hard to trust a lot of videos you see. i definitely agree and when i check a video for sources and actually find them for once, it seriously does make me light up a bit.
I am literally your target demographic, please god keep them coming
the way that i felt so included when you said ladies and non-binary people is honestly like indescribable thank you ro
i loved the contrast between the two sides, how they're presented as the right and wrong sides, but then "ron" goes first and turns the video structure around. i can't really word it but their conflict is really well executed. there's probably some sort of symbolism there with how the red and blue lamps are dimmer when separated but the lights come on brighter and purple when they settle. there's a lot of food for thought.
Wow, the ACTUAL commentary in this video is so, so, so good. Love that you point out how weird it is that we continue to "feign surprise" at these videos as you put it, when at this point it's painfully obvious exactly why they exist and exactly why they're never going away. So well done, absolutely blown away at the quality of your writing
This inner back and forth is beautifully chaotic, I cant explain how validating this felt for me. thank you for being vulnerable with the world, i appreciate the fuck out of it
I swear I have no idea what any of your videos are about. I just like the way you smash the words together so elegantly
11:47--12:27 that joke about lifehacking the love for an significant other went from stupid to profound back to stupid, all encased in an ominous vibe. I'm impressed :)
its nice to have a fem presenting commentator to watch ☺️ ive always loved this genre but oh my god is it male dominated... I just wanted to say Ro I love seeing more femininity in this community to look to for content and commentary!!
I feel like I need to watch your videos at half speed to fully grasp what’s happening. My brain just doesn’t move fast enough.
I feel like me and Ro's eyes constantly feel like right after you're done crying and it's comforting to watch Ro for that reason and many others
Only recently found Ro, but they've quickly become one of my favorite UA-camrs. Keep this shit up dude.
I feel like ro’s room is just 2 walls and a floor floating in an infinite expanse of space
commentator. actress. cinematographer. you're so many things at once and your videos are some of the most unique ive seen! i love them and i love your writing and delivery. take it one step at a time, you're doing amazing! : )
this is the best video ive ever seen, ro you are so hilarious. the living embodiment of, as gaga said "talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, showstopper, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it"
17:34 btw, that statistic is for Odessa, Texas. Odesa, Ukraine (the place where troom troom is broadcasting from) is actually around 95% white which makes the situation even worse.
Whenever Ro makes some incredibly obscure explanation of anything and it makes perfect sense, my soul transcends into a higher existence
this video was basically an art piece ro. holy fuck i enjoyed every fucking second, thank you for putting this out. take as many breaks as you need! ill beat the fuck out of anyone who complains xoxo take care
As someone with DID, the ro/ron interactions were very relatable 😅
Anyway, this video was great! Take your rest as you need it, we can’t live in the grind 24/7
the joy that rushed through me when i got that notification- okay ro 🤨
i’m convinced she puts crack in the notifications somehow
This was really well done and kinda made me sad that you talk to yourself like that. You're very creative and intelligent and I can see that the way your brain works can overwhelm you. Take as much time as you need on a break, we all deserve rest but especially you after making this fantastic video.♥️
Damn girl, look at you go!! I feel like I discovered you yesterday and you had a very low number of subs and here you are getting thousands of views in the first hour!
I found your channel from the nft video on twitter, then heard nick mention and you all the time. I love your content and I'm excited for your channel's growth, cause it's definetely happening.
Love you, keep up the good work
I am in love with the symbolism of the colors in your videos. In this one in particular, your use of Red & Blue to differentiate your different sides and the way they come together at the end with the beautiful color purple.
I agree that babies are ultra strong. Like WAY too strong for their size. My brother is only three and could break my fingers if he put the slightest effort into it. Plus when he was an infant he punched me in the face and I cried 🙃 its an unnecessary curse from nature
The unmediated ADHD joke hits me different, literally put off my taxes for two fucking years my roommate gave me one Ritalin and did them I’ve made no life progress since
I think semi-relevant ramblings and usually funny jokes are what makes your content special and worth watching! :)
girl how have I never seen your videos until this week… stellar writing philosophical takes I’m all in
If I ever see a movie with ur name as director I’d shit myself and watch it so hard
Ro baby please don’t burn yourself out we need you to stick around! Don’t get my wrong I love the mounds of content but you’re spoiling us unnecessarily at the cost of your own well-being darling x
I’m only 30 seconds into the video and the “Male class being removed, read the patch notes” is the absolute funniest bit I’ve heard in months
I think you've just gone up to my fav UA-camr maybe tied with one other. This is the sort of video essay I love, thank you, and I hope your break is restful!
Ro’s videos always both boost my serotonin while simultaneously pushing me deeper into my existential spiral and I couldn’t be happier about it.
sometimes i watch Ro because im genuinely interested in the topic and want to learn. Sometimes i watch Ro because pretty person say smart words
You really articulated the vague feelings ive had about the direction youtube is going and incorporated the smaller points other people have made about it, and pulled out a poignant thesis on the 'content economy' i didnt know i was missing! Also seeing the color theory/lighting design start from the very beginning of the video and crescendo with the ro/ron dialogue was So Cool! it was an amazing touch that put this video over the edge of being my favorite of your work! definitely one of the best commentary videos ive seen all year.
Watching Ro’s videos is what having adhd feels like I can confirm
Videos like this really make me wish UA-cam had a heart option along with like.
rose i was expecting silly funny jokes and skits from this vid and as always you delivered so much more :'o
your inner conflicts spoke to me so truly madly deeply... ever since graduating i keep chickening out on creative endeavours for fear of having to put monetary value on my work - especially in the youtube landscape (and yknow.. feeling hypocritical despite this being the only way to survive...)
tc doll
HAVE A GOOD BREAK RO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE INTRO WAS SO GOOD WHAT
literally best timing possible-
damn what a video, I admire the writing, editing and camera work
i rarely comment on videos tbh, but i just want you to know that i hate you so much because this video is so good and is extremely well written that i have shat my pants multiple times for the whole 37 minutes of this video. i do hope you get a proper rest during your break! ❤️
I love how you show yourself not only arguing with yourself, but you're arguing with yourself who's in the space and affecting the space. This is how I picture my anxiety, so it's neat to see it shown in a video.
RO your music absolutely BANGS. You are everything
I genuinely love all of your videos. I love the comedy, I love the ends, I love the sketches, I love the overall message you give, and I ESPECIALLY love the "giving a dog a gun" jokes. I play these as something I can listen to while I go about my life and they are just so enjoyable :)
Thank you for being vulnerable with your audience. It's heartwarming to see so many creators finding ways to talk openly about the burdens that come along with that. Not to mention, the artistry of it being so inspiring
Take care of yourself 💙
ro's writing is so GOOD my god
The first minute of this video is the best indie art film intro I've ever seen
not 2 b parasocial on main but I relate a lot to the parts of urself/the thought processes you've included in ur videos thus far. ur probably the closest in age to me out of all the people i follow on here, which is wild going from being small and content creators/artists being millenials and then at the very least, like, the same age as my older siblings and now its like no this person took geometry with you. not actually! but thats the vibe
this video especially has given me a lot to think about... i was thinking the other day, like, "nobody is gonna care about the stuff i make bc it isnt special, unlike someone like ro ramdin who obviously is making stuff that is really special" but then in this there is the kind of theme of like, struggling between mass-appeal and i guess artistic intent? or just the desire to make something that is "good enough" even when what you want to do is different from what is necessary to get clicks or whatever and its like. yeah i feel that
srry i type like a teenager written by an adult from a late 2000's/early 2010's TV show im just like this
Ro Ramdin: The UA-camr's UA-camr
(you know, big "music for musicians" energy)
no bc deadass ur THE best commentary youtuber in my opinion. like my favorite. u were built for youtube and/or comedy like ur delivery is. unmatched. i literally love u
I don’t often find a YT channel that I recommend to everyone I know but this is definitely one of them.
The way Ro weaves entertainment and education together by not only holding the viewer captive with their comedy but also the insight and empathy and self reflection…it’s genius.
Thank you for being you. You make the world a better place to exist in.
This shit just kinda summed up the plural experience. I don't know if that was the intent, or conscious, but... Man, those hard conversations with your other selves suck.
This was a banger. Take care of yourself.
you are one of my favorite creators and i love how vulnerable and relatable you are, while still adding hilarious bits of content and covering current topics, geniunely you’re a beautiful writer and amazing content creator, i can’t wait to see you continue to grow
as someone who has been making videos since the first year of youtube's existence, yet have never reached even ro's level of success, this video hits hard.
Everything you said about One Piece was dead on. I love One Piece. I probably need therapy, can't afford it but this fiction that's always taught me to never give up on my Nakama can't fire me like a Sky Williams therapist so I'm good
your content is so consistently high quality, you're a creator i always look forward to seeing on my homepage! you deserve a break, you've worked so hard building this channel on knock-out videos :) ps, the music used for this video is great, you're very multitalented !
ro is a youtuber i can already see getting a million subscribers. she responded to a few of my dms before and they were just chill and funny. we stan rose.
