For your hard work. Not everybody have the chance to do what they love as a job. I love what you do. I love the relation you have with your dad. That warm my heart. Have more confidence in you, you talented, beautiful and courageous. Never give up. We all support you
@@snarkyjay yo welcome. I know it's hard but try to ignore the none constructive comment and focus on the positive. You know who you are and those people who leave mean comment are stupid.
As a retired Army physician with 34 years service, I readily see you have some characteristics that I wish I could teach/pass on to young doctors and Soldiers with whom I served. You have more moral courage than most anyone I have met. Moral courage is the trait to speak out for the right thing, morally and ethically, regardless of consequence. Always stand up for what is right, and don't compromise yourself. This is closely related to personal bravery, loyalty and integrity which you also strongly demonstrate with excellence. If one has not lived these values and learned them young, it is hard to teach them when older. It is clear your parents did well. This video was eye-opening for me. I did not know what all a content creator did. But regardless of how tough life can be, if everyone would approach their life with the commitment and joy you seem to do, it would be a much better world. Oh, and don't let anyone ever tell you that you are ugly, not pretty, etc. As an old Soldier and trying not to be a toxic male, I can say you have absolutely NO problems there. Wish you all the very best.
I just want to tell you that we appreciate your work, Jay. A lot. Ok I'm speaking for myself but I'm sure a lot of people feel the same. Cheers from Brazil
The fact that you take part in every aspect of your videos creating content and not selling your dignity like others do. And finding you very honest about it is something I admire and respect
Indeed she could make bank on OF if she really wanted to but she just makes funny videos that have good production quality very witty and all by herself too very good shit and obviously are her looks a part of it sure impossible to not be with those kinda looks but they are just a nice bonus in my book as a watcher I’m sure others would agree
I wouldnt have time to be a content creator, I'm far too occupied being a smart ass in other folks comments. We do appreciate what you put into your videos, for what we get out of them
Haha thats awesome. I am in the same boat as you. Maby one day I will make content. Once my studio is built so I can do stuff on recording, gear reviews, instrument reviews and so forth. Thats down the road for now.
@@snarkyjay This is long but I never comment & I'm a newbie here. I just subscribed to your channel a few days ago. I hadn't seen your content before but I appreciate your takes on the Acolyte (I agree fully) & the few other videos I've been able to watch are dead on. Disney killed Star Wars & Marvel w more deaths to come unfortunately. This video was a great idea. I know I didn't get just how much time goes in to being a content creator. I don't think many ppl do. BTW $2.77 per 1k views & 12 - 14 hr days?Damn that's rough. I def am one of those who thought it paid better. But you're doing what you love for the most part. That's something. Anyways, I want to say Thank You for all your hard work. It shows in your videos. Also (and I know this won't keep the neg thoughts away) FCK the haters! That's one of the uglier sides of SM in general nevermind YT & ppl like you that put yourselves out there as often as you do. There have always been assholes but SM gives everyone the ability to be the biggest dick they can be all while hiding behind a username, ya know what I mean? You are talented. You are smart. And yes you are beautiful! Anyone who tells you different is either one of those hater assholes or jealous or both. Keep killing it SnarkyJay! I have no doubt you will. 🙂
@@DamitFeelsGoodtobeaRaider All "influencers" are content creators, but all content creators are certainly NOT "influencers"! "Influencers" are paid shills trying to get you to buy something expensive that you absolutely DO NOT NEED. They will try and try to convince you otherwise. I mean, nobody will think you're one of the "Kool Kids" if you're not wearing this particular Brand of clothing, or wearing this particular Brand of shoes, or wearing or using this Brand or that Brand or some other Brand, etc, etc, etc. Sure, there of lots of folks who really, really WANT to be a "Kool Kid", otherwise "influencers" would cease to exist. You're not one of those people, are you? If you're here, I rather doubt you are. Content creators on the other hand are trying to entertain, inform or educate you in some way or another. Our fabulous host here is obviously doing all of the above! In this video we certainly learned more about how her videos are produced and if you weren't entertained by the "snarky" way in which this was presented, well, I just don't know what's wrong with you. Of course, it helps that our host is quite attractive. She probably could make some good money on OnlyFans if she were that sort of person, which she isn't, thankfully. It's a sad state of affairs when people think that attractive women can only make money on the internet by producing OnlyFans type of content. We've come a long way, baby, but I don't think OnlyFans is what they thought the future was going to be. Sooooo... just stay Snarky , OK? P.S I can't believe she can't find a guy that would respect her efforts and talent. I see plenty of guys hopefully making a good living doing nothing but expressing their opinions in front of a webcam and from the number of followers, I would think that they are well respected, so what's the diff? Most of the ones I follow are live streamers tho and can make extra money via superchats, etc. And why doesn't she have a sponsorship from some clothing outfit? I don't want to know how much she must spend on all those dresses. Guys can get away with wearing a different t-shirt and/or hat each time or just have 10 pairs of the exact same hoodie and get nothing but a slight ribbing. Then again, she looks really nice in a dress.
As a dad I just want to say I would be happy to see my daughters like you. Don’t make fun of my spelling lol😂 I am old and never comment on UA-cam but your comment how these comments can hurt made me think of my twins girls 17 that are about to go out to the world. I think your dad did a great job.
I ran a business for 17 years and you just described what every day was like. You're working from the moment you wake up until the moment you fall asleep. It's hard for a lot people to understand. Thanks for the well produced videos and I hope you reach your goals.
Wow. This was eye opening AF. I really enjoy your content. I don't watch everything, but the stuff I do watch from you I like. Keep at it, kiddo. You're doing great. But also make sure you are doing more than surviving. I know the algorithm sucks because it forces you to maintain an almost unmaintainable schedule. But you need vacations and downtime just as much as everybody else who gets up early sits in traffic and goes to a job... You are no different, and you need to unplug every once in awhile. We'll still be here. (And I know you didn't make this video because you thought it would bring in donations, but it's my money and you don't get a vote. 😘)
You're one of the good ones. And I don't mean that as a platitude. Just the honest assessment of a field-weary old soldier. Have you ever checked out Star Citizen? Lots there to constantly get your brand of snarky with. And honestly, the community could use someone like yourself to help the laugh at some of the things going on.
@@snarkyjayI think from experience that most nasty comments come from people that are intoxicated tbh. I’ve been guilty of this myself. When you think about it regarding Twitter etc, there must be at least 10% of people replying and posting under the influence. And these people say some crazy shit because they are not in control.
@@astormofwrenches5555 I wouldn't generalise, I'm a guy and the negative comments really stick with me, so much so that people who are negative too often I will distance myself from, as I don't need to be around people like that. It doesn't bother me so much on social media anymore, as I understand there are alot of morons online who just enjoy saying bad stuff to people and generally trying to make people feel awful. It seems to be the way they get their kicks and of course there are very little ramifications because no-one knows who they are, which I guess is part of the reason they behave this way.
Thanks for the minder I am going to tell him that now. I just got in contact with my Dad after 30 years so its been interesting getting to know him. Its a long story but off to a good start.
The dating tidbit reminded me of when I used to date a UA-camr and I was all in with her and her channel. Sadly, she had her reasons to end our relationship, but I definitely was her biggest supporter. With that being said, you’ve kept me entertained throughout my 8 month deployment. Remember when I had you laughing when I said Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom in 4DX was a bunch of queef blasts to my neck and back pegs 😂? Just wanted to show more appreciation and support!
All great points. When I was your age, I tried becoming a "UA-camr," as it was called back then. I had the drive, hustle and passion, but I know I've never had a "face for TV". I just couldn't grab people's attention back then no matter what I did. But you seem to embody all those qualities needed for success in the content creation world. I hope you find your desired success, maintain it, and don't lose yourself in the process.
Word of advice-DON"T go to any high school reunions. Not worth the drama and all you will find is everyone is STILL in the same groups they were in high school.
LMAO I think I just came across a UA-cam short from a movie or show saying people who go to high school reunions are either the ones who just want to show off with how far they’ve made it in life, or those who peaked in high school; either way just don’t go
YO... I'm still waiting for mines... But I hope Fasho, I'm Gunna come back as Some-... Ahhh Okay, I Think I just kind of Bought Into that whole thing huh...
People don't realize how much work goes into this stuff. As someone trying to start a business as a CPA on top of a regular job. Its exhausting and takes a lot of work. Keep up the great work.
I came across your channel by accident, yet truly enthused that I did. Not only do you know/own whatever content your divulge your opinion(s) on, but you are 100% authentic and own what you say, but also have the nerve to present facts for exactly what you say. Most folks on UA-cam bank on their attractiveness to get clicks and have very shallow content. YOU, however, have broken the mold by being both smoking hot and being authoritative of which you speak. Good for you, and keep persevering.
Yep you definitely just described a real job that takes dedication, sacrifice and a hell of a lot of time. It shows. Across all platforms it shows. Your content is top tier 🙌
I appreciate the "behind the scenes" look at being a content creator. I've watched a couple dozen of your videos, some I agree with, others I don't, but nearly all were entertaining, and you always look amazing, so thumbs up on the "eye candy" aspect of your show. Anyone who disparages your appearance is a lunatic. You are remarkably hot. Likewise, anyone who actaully listens to you would find it clear that you're intelligent and know how to present your opinions clearly. Sucks the world is such a cruel place full of jackasses. Anyway, props to you for following your passion and doing what works for you! Congrats on that. I wish you success and happiness!
I hope your family doesn’t judge you too harshly. The comedian Bill Burr was asked if he had a favorite show he ever did. I’m paraphrasing, but he said the first one because he forced himself to get up on stage and do it. I have no idea where this will lead you, or any other content creator, but I give you credit for putting yourself out there. The destination is unknown, but best wishes on your journey!
We can be our biggest critic. I hate seeing myself on camera. I just think I look weird. I also find it weird hearing my own voice because its not what I hear when I speak.
some day you should do a video tour of the room you shoot in. I find myself looking at out of focus things behind you, pulse it would be a great opportunity to show the ridiculous amount of lighting and set decorations needed for a video.
Snarky one, as someone your dad's age who doesn't like to subscribe to every other channel on UA-cam, this video motivated me to do so. Keep up the good work, and Happy Father's Day to you and your papa!
You do an amazing job, I can understand that this is difficult and how other people don't relate. Compared to other channels, this one is a reliable and relates to a lot of views/ideals that I (and many others) can relate to. Haters are going to hate, personally I'm jealous cause I wish I had the time to dedicate to something like this, keep being awesome ^,^
Thanks for another excellent video. Loved getting to see behind the curtain a bit. Was nice seeing your production team get to each make an appearance. They’re all lovely, esp hair n makeup guy. 🤪😉
Quite new to this channel but already love it. You've not said a thing in the reviews I disagree with. If someone says something personal about you try to ignore them, cowards get really tough when they can be anonymous. But they're still cowards.
You are doing a fenomenal job. Keep doing what you love and keep your head up. You are well spoken, energetic, intelligent and beautiful. Don’t let others with low self esteem and miserable lives bring you down. God bless you!
I’ve came across your channel and I love it. You make me laugh and I love your opinions on Star Wars,Marvel and DC . Keep up the great work that you’re doing. And one other thing, I love your Mustang, Mustangs are my favorite car.
Here is what I think about your channel. I stumbled on to your channel about 2 years ago, and I got hooked immediately! You are very smart, and articulate. A very good script writer, and you present yourself with confidence and self-assuredness! I think you are just tapping in to your talent, and I see a great future for you! I love the fact that your dad and you seem very close, like my daughter and I! Happy Fathers Day to your dad, and looking forward to the next video!
Shout out to the solo content creator. I think things are a lot easier when you have somebody doing your filming, your editing, research, scripting, and you're just doing your thing. Maybe one day I will get there, but I feel your pain. Ignore the haters in the comments, they don't know what you do or they're just jealous. Like watching your content and really appreciate it!
I appreciate the honesty in your video. I'm sorry you have to deal with the negative attacks. It's ridiculous that people do that. On a positive note, I just found your channel yesterday, I am digging your content!
After watching this video, I just wanted to say that I have really enjoyed watching and listening to your videos. Thank you 😊 I just recently started watching your videos as I was looking for like minded Star Wars fans who were voicing their frustrations and feelings about the direction Star Wars has taken ever since Disney took over, especially the disaster that is the Acolyte. Channels like yours are almost therapy. I think that was very touching to hear that your Dad was so supportive in setting up your channel. You are truly blessed to have that support. I know getting negative remarks hurt, but don’t let them get to you. You are a gifted individual, and God will use all the skills you are learning. Maybe I’ll see you at a Comic Con someday. God Bless.
Shout out to SnarkyDad! I really enjoy your content as you do your best to be as unfiltered as possible, Jay. Your brutal honesty and "cut-the-BS" approach gives a very efreshing sense of authenticity, and it keeps a lot of people coming back for more. The first video I ever watched on your channel you jokingly went on about narcissism in a very self-deprecating manner, but it's kinda had me wondering your thoughts, (and possibly a future video) about the correlation between successful people and sociopaths. I'm learning to DJ, have my heroes and such, and every time I meet one... I am taken aback like something's not right. "Never meet your heroes' seems all too true, but it's scaring me to think that if I want to succeed, at some point down the road I am going to have to be prepared to step on someone's toes or have to adopt some kind of cutthroat business mentality. That scares the sh** out of me, as I never want to intentionally be 'that guy'. I figure you've experienced stuff like this in the cosplay world, and I'd love to hear you rant and rave loosely on the topic. PS - You kick ass. Keep up the good work!
I'm a Superman/ Garfield/Pillsbury Dough Boy memorabilia collector and have been for about 20 years. My Superman collection is the biggest out of the three pop culture things I collect. Just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do. Keep up the great work! ❤
Like you said one thing I like about a normal job is the consistent paycheck and not having to worry about where your money is coming from. I'm a caregiver for my mom so I need that stability. The risk content creators take is brave and inspiring thou.
Well I think you are awesome. I like that you are a straight shooter and you actually believe what you say. You keep being you and I’ll keep watching! You seem to have a great father too. It’s my birthday today and I wish my Dad was still alive so I could give him a hug. Hold on to that always. You be good girl. I’ll see you on your next video!
I'm new.. came here a few days ago because of the Acolyte rants. Watched just about every Acolyte rant from every channel because they are obviously more entertaining than the dog pile show (which I'm not watching). Subscribed because I liked yours best. Did you do a video yet on how the movie theaters are seriously tanking because nobody wants to go spend good money at the theaters to watch woke dog doo?
For years I've watched UA-camrs videos similar to this one! I know what happens in the background. You can't sit around and chill you have work to do. Everything takes forever, videos don't make themselves! Keep doing you Miss Cubana/Boricua! I got your back 💯 I love your content! Try to shrug off those haters ok! My name is Rob and it's nice to meet you!
The frustration of being insulted in any walk-of-life is not being able to answer, or not having the courage. Telling someone they are wrong, or they do not have the right to attack you, is a form of self-actualisation that enhances self-confidence. Telling an attacker to f-off is not as fulfilling as telling them are wrong and why. You are not defenceless, Jay, you are equipped with the power of snark.
You have a great program. People forget their words hurt. I mostly stick to travel videos, but this is perfect to let my inner nerd know what is up. People will be jerks over the strangest things. I got criticized about roasting marshmallows over lava. Not over it being dangerous, but me angering the gods and how they will get me. The marshmallows tasted delicious, so worth it. Keep up the good,hard work. I think most the haters are passing their insecurities over to you.
I recently subsribed to your content because it is very clear you put a tremendous amount of effort into your presentations. Don't let haters get you down. I know that is easier said than done, but I guarantee these folks are losers in life and the only enjoyment they get is proving it. Take care.
Mr Beast has said this for years. Don’t limit yourself in content and you can do anything. But the misconception is that you have to stick with one thing
@@snarkyjay Niche or USP? I reckon (caution: unprofessional opinion here) that a creators personality is their USP and being honest to your viewers is what keeps people coming back. And your stuff and how you do it is great. Oh, and on the disappointing parents thing, I could be the countries finest brain surgeon and my dad would say "country? why not the world?" SJ, If it makes you happy then you are doing something right.👍
I may not do superchats or patreon or click the link in the description but what I will do is watch every single one of your videos from start to finish on the day it is released even if it's about something I have no interest in. Because you deserve the support.
I’m not a content creator but I can empathize with you as someone who started his own consulting agency and a one man band and a single father as well. I learned to adopt a growth mindset and focus less so on whether I’ve “made it” or not. Excited for you and looking forward to your videos! You will hit your next level up before you know it! :)
It's nice to hear someone talking about this. It's hard to find people who can relate to the struggles of content creation. I always feel bad complaining because so many people see this as a dream job, but like you said, it's constant stress, and constant judgement from others. I had to start ignoring comments. Keep up the great work Snarky Jay!
Thanks, Jay. Recently discovered your channel and I appreciate all the work that goes into making the Snarky content. Great work. Glad your dad is supportive and hope everything goes well.
I see you as an Entrepreneur, someone who has started their own media business and is doing all the hard work that must be done in a business. There are millions of single person businesses all over the world, you are one. You have the same challenges and rewards as many other businesses. When people ask what you do, tell them you are an Entrepreneur and that you run a media business. They will probably then ask what kind of media, then you can go into those details. Everyone in the media business is some kind of creator, you are doing all the jobs, which deserves credit not ridicule. Keep up the good work and don’t let the negative comments get you down. Those people are generally trying to make themselves feel better at your expense. If they were half the woman you are, they would be doing the creation, not the complaining.
I think you are doing really well and I wish you every success. Ignore the haters. Some people just like to bring other people down. Stay away from OF because that shit is cancer that will ruin your life. Thanks to your dad for helping raise you right. Have a great week!
Wow, thanks for that behind the scenes look at what you do. Im shocked. I just assumed with all your viewers, you'd bring in a decent, steady cash flow. Cool to learn that about your dad too! I really think you should be PROUD of what you have accomplished!!!
Your honesty and general likability, plus you are fine AF(kudos to your parents)make you watchable. I am a new subscriber and I wish you every success!
Writing scripts is great but for people like me it's difficult ether way since I need to look down to read or it looks like I'm reading a hostage letter. Some people can make it look natural like you it's a great skill to have. I suppose the awkwardness fades with practice it just never got any better on my end. Congratulations on your success!
Thanks for this video, Snarky Jay! I actually learned more about what being a content creator full time is like than in a million other videos. Some of the stuff you highlight got me thinking: "people are weird at best". Far too easy for many to see how much goes on behind the scenes and more importantly the dark reality of what goes into a single video. If there's one thing I learned from a sermon given by the senior minister at my church, it's that there are those who far too readily say all sorts of negative comments and in doing so, they reveal what they are truly like. I have to wonder, with the nasty comments some give you: a) those are uncalled for, and b) are they looking in the mirror when saying them? I just discovered your channel a few days ago, and I already love what you're doing - and you're an incredibly beautiful lady 😊 You're truly a Warrior Woman!
I don’t always agree with what you have to say but like hearing your take on topics. Don’t let the downers get to you. You look amazing and I can tell you work hard. Keep up the great work!
Ive been a fan of yours for 4 years. I first followed on IG for your amazing cosplays then when I saw you had a youtube I had to check it out. I love your videos from your in depth reviews, rants, and new weekly topics. Your videos are always entertaining and you can see the passion you have when making and editing them. Your videos have evolved and improved since you started and I want to say you are doing great! I always listen to your new videos on my car ride home its like a tradition now for me now lol my commute is 30 mins sometimes a hr and your videos always entertain me 🤣 Love you are forward and real with what you say and that you never hold back when you criticize something. Keep up the great work! And will see you on twitch! I try to be there every tues or thurs when I can 🔥
I write for a living in an industry populated by very loud and oversized egos, so I sympathize with how hard it is to face unjustified criticism. But there's a lot of supporters who might not be quite as loud, but whose support is much more enduring. Here's some congratulations in advance for reaching 100k subscribers, which you'll reach in no time. Keep up the great work.
Hey Jay, I've been a subscriber for about a week since I came across your channel, and I'm grateful for finding it. I truly appreciate the authenticity and entertainment you bring to your content, especially in a sea of creators. Your latest post gave me a glimpse into the hard work behind content creation, and I want to encourage you to continue doing an excellent job and not let detractors get in the way. all he best!
Interesting video from the other side of the fence. You seem like a genuinely decent person so keep at it. Remember you never have to work a day in your life if you’re doing what you love.
I appreciate your content and understand that it is a lot of work. I am glad that you still try to make your content fun and interesting even though assholes are saying mean shit to you. Thank you for all you do, I think that your awesome because your a nerd like me who loves Star Wars for what it was and wish for it to be again.
Snarky Jay. I am adding a suggestion. Given your honesty about how you earn a living through your hard work, work that involves product placements, I infer that you probably have an agent helping you find product placement gigs. If you have an agent, I suggest that you and s/he work together to create a "content reel". You two should send it to Lorne Michaels at "Saturday Night Live". I haven't seen anything in your product involving improv work, so if you "got a bite" from Lorne, you two should offer "you" as a potential member of SNL's "Writers Room". Many "'Main Cast' from the 'Past'" started in the Writers Room. It's just a suggestion, yet I think you might be able to pull it off.
Jay, I am 73 and I started watching you because I saw a catchy description and a good thumbnail! And when I watched that video I thought “for such a young lady in this day and age, she was raised in a great, loving family”!! Yeah your outstanding looks didn’t hurt, but the way you presented yourself, the confidence and your speech was the attraction for me. The more I watch I realized you do extensive research, planning and writing! Plus you were talking about stuff I personally am/was passionate about, Star Wars, Marvel and DC!! So you keep doing the digging, the prep work and presentation like you are, it will lead to better things!! Oh, and props to you Dad for backing you!!
Thank you for your honesty. "The Comments Hurt" portion of your video was especially meaningful. It's hard for anyone creating anything to hear harsh feedback. Especially, non-constructive, unreasonably mean feedback. Keep up the good work!
I appreciate your honesty and it sounds like you wade through a lot of shit to deliver us some gems! Thank you for all your hard work and I hope you keep it up 🎉
Your channel just popped up in my feed recently. This was the second of your videos I've watched and it reminded me of meeting Riddle at a convention last year. You brought up couple of things she also addressed. The first being that in the past, everybody always came up to her saying they wanted to be cosplayers. Now it's changed to "I would love to be a cosplayer but I don't want to do the OnlyFans" like it was required. She spent a lot of time explaining that it wasn't a requirement and not to feel pressured to do OnlyFans if they didn't want to. I am glad you are doing it your way. The other thing Riddle said was doing cosplay set her up to land her dream job. Cosplay required Riddle to learn designing, sewing, and creating all her costume's parts from scratch then showing them off at conventions. gave her the skills to land her dream job. She works on costumes for Marvel films and other film companies. She doesn't do many conventions any more and when she does, it's for fun. You are also putting in the work now through your social media, UA-cam channel. cosplay and self marketing to develop all the skills and connections to increase your odds of having your dream career. I believe you will get there and I wish I was half as motivated as you when I was your age. Love the first two episodes and look forward to watching more.
Apologies if this ends up being a bit lengthy... UA-cam has been my TV replacement for years now for the most part. So I feel like I can say this with a decent level of experience from an audience perspective. Your channel and the way you go about creating your content is genuinely impressive. I have seen CCs that have been on this platform for twice as long not even have half the progression as you and I believe its because you seem to have genuine love for what you do and a hunger to be better and grow. You are very well spoken, the snark is top tier and witty, the production quality is fantastic (honestly even tempts me to derail from my current creative endeavor to start messing with video editing a bit lol), and although I have only recently found your channel I can say you seem to have done a great job at establishing a positive and healthy brand for yourself. Yes you are gorgeous and I'm sure a lot of people come here for the cosplay and the appeal of that but if I am honest attractive female CCs are a dime a dozen, it takes a strong personality and charisma to keep people invested in what is being said and keep them engaged which you do extremely well. There are some CCs that I watch for specific content like Jeremy Jahns for movie/show review or Ryker Road if I just want to watch some goofballs react to music that I love but would never really be interested if they branched out into something different. With your channel I feel a large number of your viewers, myself included, would be genuinely intrigued to hear your thoughts on... anything you decide to make a video on because of everything you put into your videos. so TLDR... Keep being a badass and doing what you do. I am excited to see what the next two years of progression look like for you. Just do us a favor and dont forget to take a step back when needed and breathe. Burn out is a very real thing for CCs. Health first, always.
I feel you're amazing as a content creator. Don't let anyone tell you any different. You're the most original and honest one out there. I'll continue to watch every video you post. Keep up the amazing work Jay!
A lot to unpack for a response. First off. I think your dad is very proud, so just remember that when other assholes make crappy remarks. I also wish you had met me and my family. My son is a big fan and also would be a great friend if not a boyfriend. My Daughter would just about be your best friend. They were also raised to respect and be honest. About your job, Not everyone gets the chance to do what they want. I left on my own accord when I left my job, so own that and love that part of your life. As for the haters, remember one thing, they are pathetic and only get validation for their crap lives by trying to bring you down. DO NOT ALLOW THAT!. I appreciate you and look forward to EVERY piece of content you post. Happy father's day! (pass that on to dad!)
I love this video so so much. As a content creator myself, I found it to be incredibly cathartic. It took so much courage to be as upfront and honest as you were, and I bet there was a lot of temptation in editing to maybe down play some of it. I'm glad you are so real. I don't know if this applies to your content, but one thing I would add to my own list is commenters who say, "you forgot to mention ______." I'm never rude about it, because sometimes I do overlook something, but generally it's always an intentional choice. And the other thing is trying to communicate just how much time it takes. People see an 8-12 minute video and don't realize that it equals 8-12 hours. Even so, people like us have the best job in the world. We work 60 hours a week so we don't have to work 40. And even with the bumps, I'm nothing but grateful. Thanks again for the video! Really some of your best work.
I've got a much smaller channel by comparison, however, I can attest 100% that every point you bring up hits home. Running a youtube channel is insane and its crazy how much time it can consume (case and point, it's 3:30 AM as I write this - I just got finished editing a video and doing two thumbnails for it and saw this video so I took a brief break to watch it).
That was one of the most … refreshing (hate that word) videos I have seen in a very long time. I admire your honesty and your humility while still being entertained by that sharp wit. Hope you never lose those qualities. Enjoying the channel. 👍🏻
For your hard work. Not everybody have the chance to do what they love as a job. I love what you do.
I love the relation you have with your dad. That warm my heart. Have more confidence in you, you talented, beautiful and courageous.
Never give up. We all support you
Thank you SO much for your support and your kind words!
@@snarkyjay yo welcome. I know it's hard but try to ignore the none constructive comment and focus on the positive. You know who you are and those people who leave mean comment are stupid.
Your Dad raised an awesome human being, We thank him.
I wish I had a dad like him.
Videos you put out complaining about Star Wars are genuinely the only Star Wars content I have enjoyed since pre-Disney.
Thank you SO much!
Why $24.99 instead of $25?
@@arthurweise2573that’s the amount UA-cam let’s you give. Hit the thanks button and you can see the different amounts.
@@arthurweise2573 Well, no sense getting carried away. 😅
@@arthurweise2573 It's probably a problem on his part because it's supposed to be 25$.
The fact that you do all the production yourself is impressive. The quality of your videos is better than 98% of what's on UA-cam right now.
You're not fat. You're certainly not ugly. You're intelligent, cool and sincere. Continue to be you.
As a retired Army physician with 34 years service, I readily see you have some characteristics that I wish I could teach/pass on to young doctors and Soldiers with whom I served. You have more moral courage than most anyone I have met. Moral courage is the trait to speak out for the right thing, morally and ethically, regardless of consequence. Always stand up for what is right, and don't compromise yourself. This is closely related to personal bravery, loyalty and integrity which you also strongly demonstrate with excellence. If one has not lived these values and learned them young, it is hard to teach them when older. It is clear your parents did well. This video was eye-opening for me. I did not know what all a content creator did. But regardless of how tough life can be, if everyone would approach their life with the commitment and joy you seem to do, it would be a much better world. Oh, and don't let anyone ever tell you that you are ugly, not pretty, etc. As an old Soldier and trying not to be a toxic male, I can say you have absolutely NO problems there. Wish you all the very best.
There’s nothing toxic about you, sir
I just want to tell you that we appreciate your work, Jay. A lot. Ok I'm speaking for myself but I'm sure a lot of people feel the same. Cheers from Brazil
Thank you very much!
The fact that you take part in every aspect of your videos creating content and not selling your dignity like others do. And finding you very honest about it is something I admire and respect
Indeed she could make bank on OF if she really wanted to but she just makes funny videos that have good production quality very witty and all by herself too very good shit and obviously are her looks a part of it sure impossible to not be with those kinda looks but they are just a nice bonus in my book as a watcher I’m sure others would agree
I wouldnt have time to be a content creator, I'm far too occupied being a smart ass in other folks comments. We do appreciate what you put into your videos, for what we get out of them
Appreciate you Sam!
Haha thats awesome. I am in the same boat as you. Maby one day I will make content. Once my studio is built so I can do stuff on recording, gear reviews, instrument reviews and so forth. Thats down the road for now.
@@snarkyjay thank you for calling it by it's propper name, content creator. this term "influencer" is soooooo lame.
@@snarkyjay This is long but I never comment & I'm a newbie here.
I just subscribed to your channel a few days ago. I hadn't seen your content before but I appreciate your takes on the Acolyte (I agree fully) & the few other videos I've been able to watch are dead on. Disney killed Star Wars & Marvel w more deaths to come unfortunately. This video was a great idea. I know I didn't get just how much time goes in to being a content creator. I don't think many ppl do. BTW $2.77 per 1k views & 12 - 14 hr days?Damn that's rough. I def am one of those who thought it paid better. But you're doing what you love for the most part. That's something. Anyways, I want to say Thank You for all your hard work. It shows in your videos. Also (and I know this won't keep the neg thoughts away) FCK the haters! That's one of the uglier sides of SM in general nevermind YT & ppl like you that put yourselves out there as often as you do. There have always been assholes but SM gives everyone the ability to be the biggest dick they can be all while hiding behind a username, ya know what I mean? You are talented. You are smart. And yes you are beautiful! Anyone who tells you different is either one of those hater assholes or jealous or both. Keep killing it SnarkyJay! I have no doubt you will. 🙂
@@DamitFeelsGoodtobeaRaider All "influencers" are content creators, but all content creators are certainly NOT "influencers"! "Influencers" are paid shills trying to get you to buy something expensive that you absolutely DO NOT NEED. They will try and try to convince you otherwise. I mean, nobody will think you're one of the "Kool Kids" if you're not wearing this particular Brand of clothing, or wearing this particular Brand of shoes, or wearing or using this Brand or that Brand or some other Brand, etc, etc, etc. Sure, there of lots of folks who really, really WANT to be a "Kool Kid", otherwise "influencers" would cease to exist. You're not one of those people, are you? If you're here, I rather doubt you are.
Content creators on the other hand are trying to entertain, inform or educate you in some way or another. Our fabulous host here is obviously doing all of the above! In this video we certainly learned more about how her videos are produced and if you weren't entertained by the "snarky" way in which this was presented, well, I just don't know what's wrong with you. Of course, it helps that our host is quite attractive. She probably could make some good money on OnlyFans if she were that sort of person, which she isn't, thankfully. It's a sad state of affairs when people think that attractive women can only make money on the internet by producing OnlyFans type of content. We've come a long way, baby, but I don't think OnlyFans is what they thought the future was going to be. Sooooo... just stay Snarky , OK?
P.S I can't believe she can't find a guy that would respect her efforts and talent. I see plenty of guys hopefully making a good living doing nothing but expressing their opinions in front of a webcam and from the number of followers, I would think that they are well respected, so what's the diff? Most of the ones I follow are live streamers tho and can make extra money via superchats, etc. And why doesn't she have a sponsorship from some clothing outfit? I don't want to know how much she must spend on all those dresses. Guys can get away with wearing a different t-shirt and/or hat each time or just have 10 pairs of the exact same hoodie and get nothing but a slight ribbing. Then again, she looks really nice in a dress.
As a dad I just want to say I would be happy to see my daughters like you. Don’t make fun of my spelling lol😂 I am old and never comment on UA-cam but your comment how these comments can hurt made me think of my twins girls 17 that are about to go out to the world. I think your dad did a great job.
Good stuff!
I ran a business for 17 years and you just described what every day was like. You're working from the moment you wake up until the moment you fall asleep. It's hard for a lot people to understand. Thanks for the well produced videos and I hope you reach your goals.
Wow. This was eye opening AF. I really enjoy your content. I don't watch everything, but the stuff I do watch from you I like. Keep at it, kiddo. You're doing great. But also make sure you are doing more than surviving. I know the algorithm sucks because it forces you to maintain an almost unmaintainable schedule. But you need vacations and downtime just as much as everybody else who gets up early sits in traffic and goes to a job... You are no different, and you need to unplug every once in awhile. We'll still be here. (And I know you didn't make this video because you thought it would bring in donations, but it's my money and you don't get a vote. 😘)
Hey, thank you so much! I really appreciate the support!
@@snarkyjay could you maybe say something about his actual comment besides (thanks for the cash)
@@clackman622 Her response was more than sufficient. Troll somewhere else, neckbeard.
@@TalaCruz no comment...
Just don't change Jay, I've love the content, and have since you have started.
Never. Couldn’t if I wanted to. LOL
You're one of the good ones. And I don't mean that as a platitude. Just the honest assessment of a field-weary old soldier.
Have you ever checked out Star Citizen? Lots there to constantly get your brand of snarky with. And honestly, the community could use someone like yourself to help the laugh at some of the things going on.
Thank you so much!
I’ve never checked them out, I’ll look into it!
It's funny how you'll get a thousand positive comments, but that one bad one is devastating and ruins your day
Sometimes they just “hit different.”
@@snarkyjayI think from experience that most nasty comments come from people that are intoxicated tbh.
I’ve been guilty of this myself.
When you think about it regarding Twitter etc, there must be at least 10% of people replying and posting under the influence.
And these people say some crazy shit because they are not in control.
@@snarkyjay your awesome
@@robg1151 That's part of it, but some people just get off being nasty especially because they are safe behind a keyboard.
@@astormofwrenches5555 I wouldn't generalise, I'm a guy and the negative comments really stick with me, so much so that people who are negative too often I will distance myself from, as I don't need to be around people like that. It doesn't bother me so much on social media anymore, as I understand there are alot of morons online who just enjoy saying bad stuff to people and generally trying to make people feel awful. It seems to be the way they get their kicks and of course there are very little ramifications because no-one knows who they are, which I guess is part of the reason they behave this way.
Respects to you Snarky J. Persistent and hardwork and determination will bless you with success.
Don't forget to tell your dad happy fathers day.
Literally spending the day with him.
I clicked before I read the title and then randomly remembered it’s Father’s Day.
Thanks for the minder I am going to tell him that now. I just got in contact with my Dad after 30 years so its been interesting getting to know him. Its a long story but off to a good start.
😓
Ditto
The dating tidbit reminded me of when I used to date a UA-camr and I was all in with her and her channel. Sadly, she had her reasons to end our relationship, but I definitely was her biggest supporter. With that being said, you’ve kept me entertained throughout my 8 month deployment. Remember when I had you laughing when I said Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom in 4DX was a bunch of queef blasts to my neck and back pegs 😂? Just wanted to show more appreciation and support!
I love that you're consistently giving shout outs to your dad. And you mentioned him on Father's Day. Fantastic!
All great points. When I was your age, I tried becoming a "UA-camr," as it was called back then. I had the drive, hustle and passion, but I know I've never had a "face for TV". I just couldn't grab people's attention back then no matter what I did. But you seem to embody all those qualities needed for success in the content creation world. I hope you find your desired success, maintain it, and don't lose yourself in the process.
Do a "faceless" channel.
Wow that's eye opening, and also uplifting.
Glad you think so!
Mad respect for people that put out UA-cam content, especially ones that put as much content as you do.
Its a great day when Jay posts another video
Hope you enjoyed it!
Word of advice-DON"T go to any high school reunions. Not worth the drama and all you will find is everyone is STILL in the same groups they were in high school.
Thanks! I'm 68 and have never been to one, so it's good to know I haven't been missing anything! 😅
LMAO I think I just came across a UA-cam short from a movie or show saying people who go to high school reunions are either the ones who just want to show off with how far they’ve made it in life, or those who peaked in high school;
either way just don’t go
YO... I'm still waiting for mines... But I hope Fasho, I'm Gunna come back as Some-... Ahhh Okay, I Think I just kind of Bought Into that whole thing huh...
People don't realize how much work goes into this stuff. As someone trying to start a business as a CPA on top of a regular job. Its exhausting and takes a lot of work. Keep up the great work.
“The work doesn’t get done unless we do it” - that one hit
I came across your channel by accident, yet truly enthused that I did.
Not only do you know/own whatever content your divulge your opinion(s) on, but you are 100% authentic and own what you say, but also have the nerve to present facts for exactly what you say.
Most folks on UA-cam bank on their attractiveness to get clicks and have very shallow content. YOU, however, have broken the mold by being both smoking hot and being authoritative of which you speak.
Good for you, and keep persevering.
Yep you definitely just described a real job that takes dedication, sacrifice and a hell of a lot of time. It shows. Across all platforms it shows. Your content is top tier 🙌
I've only been following you for about a year. Enjoy it! Keep up the great work 😊
Thank you Eric!
I appreciate the "behind the scenes" look at being a content creator. I've watched a couple dozen of your videos, some I agree with, others I don't, but nearly all were entertaining, and you always look amazing, so thumbs up on the "eye candy" aspect of your show. Anyone who disparages your appearance is a lunatic. You are remarkably hot. Likewise, anyone who actaully listens to you would find it clear that you're intelligent and know how to present your opinions clearly. Sucks the world is such a cruel place full of jackasses. Anyway, props to you for following your passion and doing what works for you! Congrats on that. I wish you success and happiness!
I hope your family doesn’t judge you too harshly.
The comedian Bill Burr was asked if he had a favorite show he ever did. I’m paraphrasing, but he said the first one because he forced himself to get up on stage and do it.
I have no idea where this will lead you, or any other content creator, but I give you credit for putting yourself out there.
The destination is unknown, but best wishes on your journey!
We can be our biggest critic. I hate seeing myself on camera. I just think I look weird. I also find it weird hearing my own voice because its not what I hear when I speak.
some day you should do a video tour of the room you shoot in. I find myself looking at out of focus things behind you, pulse it would be a great opportunity to show the ridiculous amount of lighting and set decorations needed for a video.
Snarky one, as someone your dad's age who doesn't like to subscribe to every other channel on UA-cam, this video motivated me to do so. Keep up the good work, and Happy Father's Day to you and your papa!
You do an amazing job, I can understand that this is difficult and how other people don't relate. Compared to other channels, this one is a reliable and relates to a lot of views/ideals that I (and many others) can relate to. Haters are going to hate, personally I'm jealous cause I wish I had the time to dedicate to something like this, keep being awesome ^,^
Thanks for another excellent video. Loved getting to see behind the curtain a bit. Was nice seeing your production team get to each make an appearance. They’re all lovely, esp hair n makeup guy. 🤪😉
Thank you! Will be doing a “day in the life” video soon to give a little more insight.
Happy father's day to Snarkys Dad he makes the show happen!
Quite new to this channel but already love it. You've not said a thing in the reviews I disagree with. If someone says something personal about you try to ignore them, cowards get really tough when they can be anonymous. But they're still cowards.
Thanks so much!
You are doing a fenomenal job. Keep doing what you love and keep your head up. You are well spoken, energetic, intelligent and beautiful. Don’t let others with low self esteem and miserable lives bring you down. God bless you!
Who in the world is calling this woman ugly ?? She's stunning!!!
I’ve came across your channel and I love it. You make me laugh and I love your opinions on Star Wars,Marvel and DC . Keep up the great work that you’re doing. And one other thing, I love your Mustang, Mustangs are my favorite car.
Here is what I think about your channel. I stumbled on to your channel about 2 years ago, and I got hooked immediately! You are very smart, and articulate. A very good script writer, and you present yourself with confidence and self-assuredness! I think you are just tapping in to your talent, and I see a great future for you! I love the fact that your dad and you seem very close, like my daughter and I! Happy Fathers Day to your dad, and looking forward to the next video!
Shout out to the solo content creator. I think things are a lot easier when you have somebody doing your filming, your editing, research, scripting, and you're just doing your thing. Maybe one day I will get there, but I feel your pain. Ignore the haters in the comments, they don't know what you do or they're just jealous. Like watching your content and really appreciate it!
I appreciate the honesty in your video. I'm sorry you have to deal with the negative attacks. It's ridiculous that people do that.
On a positive note, I just found your channel yesterday, I am digging your content!
After watching this video,
I just wanted to say that
I have really enjoyed watching
and listening to your videos.
Thank you 😊
I just recently started watching your videos as I was looking for like minded Star Wars fans who were voicing their frustrations and feelings about the direction Star Wars has taken ever since Disney took over, especially the disaster that is the Acolyte.
Channels like yours are almost therapy.
I think that was very touching to hear that your Dad was so supportive in setting up your channel. You are truly blessed to have that support.
I know getting negative remarks hurt, but don’t let them get to you. You are a gifted individual, and God will use all the skills you are learning.
Maybe I’ll see you at a Comic Con someday.
God Bless.
Shout out to SnarkyDad! I really enjoy your content as you do your best to be as unfiltered as possible, Jay. Your brutal honesty and "cut-the-BS" approach gives a very efreshing sense of authenticity, and it keeps a lot of people coming back for more.
The first video I ever watched on your channel you jokingly went on about narcissism in a very self-deprecating manner, but it's kinda had me wondering your thoughts, (and possibly a future video) about the correlation between successful people and sociopaths. I'm learning to DJ, have my heroes and such, and every time I meet one... I am taken aback like something's not right. "Never meet your heroes' seems all too true, but it's scaring me to think that if I want to succeed, at some point down the road I am going to have to be prepared to step on someone's toes or have to adopt some kind of cutthroat business mentality. That scares the sh** out of me, as I never want to intentionally be 'that guy'. I figure you've experienced stuff like this in the cosplay world, and I'd love to hear you rant and rave loosely on the topic. PS - You kick ass. Keep up the good work!
I'm a Superman/ Garfield/Pillsbury Dough Boy memorabilia collector and have been for about 20 years. My Superman collection is the biggest out of the three pop culture things I collect. Just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do. Keep up the great work! ❤
I discovered your channel a week ago and I already love it! Thanks for the honest insights. You’re awesome!! 😄
Yay! Thank you!
Wow, makes me almost want to become one thanks your honest advice. Subbed.
Please, never do OF. Your channel is awesome and so are you!
Like you said one thing I like about a normal job is the consistent paycheck and not having to worry about where your money is coming from. I'm a caregiver for my mom so I need that stability. The risk content creators take is brave and inspiring thou.
¡Siempre aprecia tu arduo trabajo, Jay! ¡Feliz domingo, y que tengas un gran Día del Padre con tu padre!
Gracias!!
@@snarkyjay jajaja
Well I think you are awesome. I like that you are a straight shooter and you actually believe what you say. You keep being you and I’ll keep watching! You seem to have a great father too. It’s my birthday today and I wish my Dad was still alive so I could give him a hug. Hold on to that always. You be good girl. I’ll see you on your next video!
You're my new favorite rant person.😂
I'm new.. came here a few days ago because of the Acolyte rants. Watched just about every Acolyte rant from every channel because they are obviously more entertaining than the dog pile show (which I'm not watching). Subscribed because I liked yours best. Did you do a video yet on how the movie theaters are seriously tanking because nobody wants to go spend good money at the theaters to watch woke dog doo?
For years I've watched UA-camrs videos similar to this one! I know what happens in the background. You can't sit around and chill you have work to do. Everything takes forever, videos don't make themselves! Keep doing you Miss Cubana/Boricua! I got your back 💯 I love your content! Try to shrug off those haters ok! My name is Rob and it's nice to meet you!
I don't know what these videos are about, but I love watching them.
Don't worry - after watching them for a while, you'll gradually get up to speed. 🙂
The frustration of being insulted in any walk-of-life is not being able to answer, or not having the courage. Telling someone they are wrong, or they do not have the right to attack you, is a form of self-actualisation that enhances self-confidence. Telling an attacker to f-off is not as fulfilling as telling them are wrong and why. You are not defenceless, Jay, you are equipped with the power of snark.
I love that you are so honest. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! Will do!
You have a great program. People forget their words hurt. I mostly stick to travel videos, but this is perfect to let my inner nerd know what is up.
People will be jerks over the strangest things. I got criticized about roasting marshmallows over lava. Not over it being dangerous, but me angering the gods and how they will get me. The marshmallows tasted delicious, so worth it.
Keep up the good,hard work. I think most the haters are passing their insecurities over to you.
Happy Sunday Jay
Thanks Alfred, you too!
Looking good is hard work. I enjoy just seeing your beautiful face on screen and getting a chuckle from a good rant about bad Star Wars.
Great video! and you are doing an amazing job! Cheers from Sydney, Australia.
I recently subsribed to your content because it is very clear you put a tremendous amount of effort into your presentations. Don't let haters get you down. I know that is easier said than done, but I guarantee these folks are losers in life and the only enjoyment they get is proving it. Take care.
Thanks so much!
Mr Beast has said this for years. Don’t limit yourself in content and you can do anything. But the misconception is that you have to stick with one thing
You do need to find a niche though!
@@snarkyjay Niche or USP?
I reckon (caution: unprofessional opinion here) that a creators personality is their USP and being honest to your viewers is what keeps people coming back. And your stuff and how you do it is great. Oh, and on the disappointing parents thing, I could be the countries finest brain surgeon and my dad would say "country? why not the world?"
SJ, If it makes you happy then you are doing something right.👍
I may not do superchats or patreon or click the link in the description but what I will do is watch every single one of your videos from start to finish on the day it is released even if it's about something I have no interest in. Because you deserve the support.
I’m not a content creator but I can empathize with you as someone who started his own consulting agency and a one man band and a single father as well. I learned to adopt a growth mindset and focus less so on whether I’ve “made it” or not. Excited for you and looking forward to your videos! You will hit your next level up before you know it! :)
I for one love your work Jay and have great respect for what you do. Please never let yourself be discouraged by others. You are doing awesome.
Thanks!
Thank you John!
It's nice to hear someone talking about this. It's hard to find people who can relate to the struggles of content creation. I always feel bad complaining because so many people see this as a dream job, but like you said, it's constant stress, and constant judgement from others. I had to start ignoring comments. Keep up the great work Snarky Jay!
Thanks
I appreciate you!
Thanks, Jay. Recently discovered your channel and I appreciate all the work that goes into making the Snarky content. Great work. Glad your dad is supportive and hope everything goes well.

I see you as an Entrepreneur, someone who has started their own media business and is doing all the hard work that must be done in a business.
There are millions of single person businesses all over the world, you are one. You have the same challenges and rewards as many other businesses. When people ask what you do, tell them you are an Entrepreneur and that you run a media business. They will probably then ask what kind of media, then you can go into those details.
Everyone in the media business is some kind of creator, you are doing all the jobs, which deserves credit not ridicule.
Keep up the good work and don’t let the negative comments get you down. Those people are generally trying to make themselves feel better at your expense. If they were half the woman you are, they would be doing the creation, not the complaining.
Daily dose of Snark😁🎉
You already know.
Love your vulnerability in this one👍
I think you are doing really well and I wish you every success. Ignore the haters. Some people just like to bring other people down. Stay away from OF because that shit is cancer that will ruin your life. Thanks to your dad for helping raise you right. Have a great week!
Wow, thanks for that behind the scenes look at what you do. Im shocked. I just assumed with all your viewers, you'd bring in a decent, steady cash flow.
Cool to learn that about your dad too! I really think you should be PROUD of what you have accomplished!!!
Your honesty and general likability, plus you are fine AF(kudos to your parents)make you watchable. I am a new subscriber and I wish you every success!
Writing scripts is great but for people like me it's difficult ether way since I need to look down to read or it looks like I'm reading a hostage letter. Some people can make it look natural like you it's a great skill to have. I suppose the awkwardness fades with practice it just never got any better on my end. Congratulations on your success!
Thanks for this video, Snarky Jay! I actually learned more about what being a content creator full time is like than in a million other videos. Some of the stuff you highlight got me thinking: "people are weird at best".
Far too easy for many to see how much goes on behind the scenes and more importantly the dark reality of what goes into a single video.
If there's one thing I learned from a sermon given by the senior minister at my church, it's that there are those who far too readily say all sorts of negative comments and in doing so, they reveal what they are truly like. I have to wonder, with the nasty comments some give you:
a) those are uncalled for, and
b) are they looking in the mirror when saying them?
I just discovered your channel a few days ago, and I already love what you're doing - and you're an incredibly beautiful lady 😊
You're truly a Warrior Woman!
I don’t always agree with what you have to say but like hearing your take on topics. Don’t let the downers get to you. You look amazing and I can tell you work hard. Keep up the great work!
Ive been a fan of yours for 4 years. I first followed on IG for your amazing cosplays then when I saw you had a youtube I had to check it out. I love your videos from your in depth reviews, rants, and new weekly topics. Your videos are always entertaining and you can see the passion you have when making and editing them. Your videos have evolved and improved since you started and I want to say you are doing great! I always listen to your new videos on my car ride home its like a tradition now for me now lol my commute is 30 mins sometimes a hr and your videos always entertain me 🤣 Love you are forward and real with what you say and that you never hold back when you criticize something. Keep up the great work! And will see you on twitch! I try to be there every tues or thurs when I can 🔥
I write for a living in an industry populated by very loud and oversized egos, so I sympathize with how hard it is to face unjustified criticism. But there's a lot of supporters who might not be quite as loud, but whose support is much more enduring. Here's some congratulations in advance for reaching 100k subscribers, which you'll reach in no time. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much!
¡Ániimo! You are doing great work!
Gracias!!!
Hey Jay, I've been a subscriber for about a week since I came across your channel, and I'm grateful for finding it. I truly appreciate the authenticity and entertainment you bring to your content, especially in a sea of creators. Your latest post gave me a glimpse into the hard work behind content creation, and I want to encourage you to continue doing an excellent job and not let detractors get in the way. all he best!
Interesting video from the other side of the fence.
You seem like a genuinely decent person so keep at it.
Remember you never have to work a day in your life if you’re doing what you love.
I appreciate your content and understand that it is a lot of work. I am glad that you still try to make your content fun and interesting even though assholes are saying mean shit to you. Thank you for all you do, I think that your awesome because your a nerd like me who loves Star Wars for what it was and wish for it to be again.
Snarky Jay.
I am adding a suggestion.
Given your honesty about how you earn a living through your hard work, work that involves product placements, I infer that you probably have an agent helping you find product placement gigs.
If you have an agent, I suggest that you and s/he work together to create a "content reel". You two should send it to Lorne Michaels at "Saturday Night Live".
I haven't seen anything in your product involving improv work, so if you "got a bite" from Lorne, you two should offer "you" as a potential member of SNL's "Writers Room".
Many "'Main Cast' from the 'Past'" started in the Writers Room.
It's just a suggestion, yet I think you might be able to pull it off.
Jay, I am 73 and I started watching you because I saw a catchy description and a good thumbnail! And when I watched that video I thought “for such a young lady in this day and age, she was raised in a great, loving family”!! Yeah your outstanding looks didn’t hurt, but the way you presented yourself, the confidence and your speech was the attraction for me. The more I watch I realized you do extensive research, planning and writing!
Plus you were talking about stuff I personally am/was passionate about, Star Wars, Marvel and DC!!
So you keep doing the digging, the prep work and presentation like you are, it will lead to better things!! Oh, and props to you Dad for backing you!!
Thank you for your honesty. "The Comments Hurt" portion of your video was especially meaningful. It's hard for anyone creating anything to hear harsh feedback. Especially, non-constructive, unreasonably mean feedback. Keep up the good work!
New subscriber here but definitely enjoying your content and the inside view of a content creator. Keep your head up and keep being you!
I appreciate your honesty and it sounds like you wade through a lot of shit to deliver us some gems! Thank you for all your hard work and I hope you keep it up 🎉
Your channel just popped up in my feed recently. This was the second of your videos I've watched and it reminded me of meeting Riddle at a convention last year. You brought up couple of things she also addressed.
The first being that in the past, everybody always came up to her saying they wanted to be cosplayers. Now it's changed to "I would love to be a cosplayer but I don't want to do the OnlyFans" like it was required. She spent a lot of time explaining that it wasn't a requirement and not to feel pressured to do OnlyFans if they didn't want to. I am glad you are doing it your way.
The other thing Riddle said was doing cosplay set her up to land her dream job. Cosplay required Riddle to learn designing, sewing, and creating all her costume's parts from scratch then showing them off at conventions. gave her the skills to land her dream job. She works on costumes for Marvel films and other film companies. She doesn't do many conventions any more and when she does, it's for fun. You are also putting in the work now through your social media, UA-cam channel. cosplay and self marketing to develop all the skills and connections to increase your odds of having your dream career. I believe you will get there and I wish I was half as motivated as you when I was your age. Love the first two episodes and look forward to watching more.
I'll be the Cap to your Widow, the Indy to your Marion Ravencroft, the Deadpool to your Domino, the Wolverine to your Jean Grey
Apologies if this ends up being a bit lengthy...
UA-cam has been my TV replacement for years now for the most part. So I feel like I can say this with a decent level of experience from an audience perspective. Your channel and the way you go about creating your content is genuinely impressive. I have seen CCs that have been on this platform for twice as long not even have half the progression as you and I believe its because you seem to have genuine love for what you do and a hunger to be better and grow. You are very well spoken, the snark is top tier and witty, the production quality is fantastic (honestly even tempts me to derail from my current creative endeavor to start messing with video editing a bit lol), and although I have only recently found your channel I can say you seem to have done a great job at establishing a positive and healthy brand for yourself. Yes you are gorgeous and I'm sure a lot of people come here for the cosplay and the appeal of that but if I am honest attractive female CCs are a dime a dozen, it takes a strong personality and charisma to keep people invested in what is being said and keep them engaged which you do extremely well. There are some CCs that I watch for specific content like Jeremy Jahns for movie/show review or Ryker Road if I just want to watch some goofballs react to music that I love but would never really be interested if they branched out into something different. With your channel I feel a large number of your viewers, myself included, would be genuinely intrigued to hear your thoughts on... anything you decide to make a video on because of everything you put into your videos.
so TLDR... Keep being a badass and doing what you do. I am excited to see what the next two years of progression look like for you. Just do us a favor and dont forget to take a step back when needed and breathe. Burn out is a very real thing for CCs. Health first, always.
I feel you're amazing as a content creator. Don't let anyone tell you any different. You're the most original and honest one out there. I'll continue to watch every video you post. Keep up the amazing work Jay!
You are amazing and don't listen to the haters. It says more about their insecurities then it does anything else.
A lot to unpack for a response. First off. I think your dad is very proud, so just remember that when other assholes make crappy remarks. I also wish you had met me and my family. My son is a big fan and also would be a great friend if not a boyfriend. My Daughter would just about be your best friend. They were also raised to respect and be honest. About your job, Not everyone gets the chance to do what they want. I left on my own accord when I left my job, so own that and love that part of your life. As for the haters, remember one thing, they are pathetic and only get validation for their crap lives by trying to bring you down. DO NOT ALLOW THAT!. I appreciate you and look forward to EVERY piece of content you post. Happy father's day! (pass that on to dad!)
I love this video so so much. As a content creator myself, I found it to be incredibly cathartic. It took so much courage to be as upfront and honest as you were, and I bet there was a lot of temptation in editing to maybe down play some of it. I'm glad you are so real. I don't know if this applies to your content, but one thing I would add to my own list is commenters who say, "you forgot to mention ______." I'm never rude about it, because sometimes I do overlook something, but generally it's always an intentional choice. And the other thing is trying to communicate just how much time it takes. People see an 8-12 minute video and don't realize that it equals 8-12 hours. Even so, people like us have the best job in the world. We work 60 hours a week so we don't have to work 40. And even with the bumps, I'm nothing but grateful. Thanks again for the video! Really some of your best work.
Love your videos, Snarky. You always make me smile, keep being you 😂
I've got a much smaller channel by comparison, however, I can attest 100% that every point you bring up hits home.
Running a youtube channel is insane and its crazy how much time it can consume (case and point, it's 3:30 AM as I write this - I just got finished editing a video and doing two thumbnails for it and saw this video so I took a brief break to watch it).
That was one of the most … refreshing (hate that word) videos I have seen in a very long time. I admire your honesty and your humility while still being entertained by that sharp wit. Hope you never lose those qualities. Enjoying the channel. 👍🏻
