    Contrary to what a lot of youtube viewers seem to think, you do not owe us anything. If you put up content, then bonus for us, we get to see your awesome face! If you don't, then we should all be respectful. I do not understand the sense of "ownership" viewers seem to feel over youtubers when they subscribe to a channel. So, please do what makes you happy, only make videos when you want to, and also, your hair looks amazing in this video!

      True, for us it's free anyways. It's a bit weird to feel "ownership" of a youtube video. It would be like having a conversation with someone and saying "no please stop talking about things the way you do, I don't like it".

    Thank you for the honesty you gave in this video! UA-cam and the Internet has changed so much and there definitely is a lot of pressure to be a certain way or do a certain thing for followers and likes. Watching your video has been so refreshing and it’s great to see someone who sees this trend and is deciding go their own path despite the external pressures. Thank you for being honest and being true to yourself!

But this direction you want to go in is what I want to see. I can’t wait to see where you go lady! I’m glad I’m jumping on this train now. Can’t wait to see your new stuff xx and learning more about you. You have my support

    I am super excited for the new content! “Taking care of ourselves isn’t being selfish” maybe you could address this problem or way of seeing this by many people in one of your advice video. You were brave enough to say this online maybe you can help people who struggle to believe in it in their personal life. I am learning this lesson now.
    Good luck Steph! ❤️

    I just found your channel a few weeks ago and was so excited to find out there's a new video online. And now I'm really looking forward to the following ones. You say that you are not the inspiring person some people see in you, but I think you are - no matter if it's the “real“ you we see or not, you do inspire us! Do what you love and the people who love the same things will support you. And that's the only support everyone really needs ❤

  • @madifrausto4210
    @madifrausto4210 7 років тому +12

    IM SO PROUD OF YOU STEPH!! This is what I came to UA-cam for, to find real people who share who they are not the ones who are doing crazy random stuff to get views or to be popular. I can’t wait to see every single one of your videos to come! I love you!😘❤️

    • @speeeee35
      @speeeee35 7 років тому

      So true, like the old school YTers like Shane or Jenna Marbles, I actually feel like I KNOW them, like they're my friend. I can't explain it, but I know anyone who's been into UA-cam and UA-camrs for a long time and especially since before the change knows exactly the feeling I mean. You don't get that same feeling from someone doing shock value stuff or crazy stuff for views.... even if you DO like the person who's making the videos, it's just not the same. Although, I don't know that she's going to be showing who she is necessarily.... sounds like she wants to keep herself (meaning everything going on in her life) private, and make Q&A and tell other peoples stories and stuff like that... Regardless though, it'll still be more authentic and honest then her giving up information about your private life, against your will, even though it makes you feel uncomfortable, just for views!

  • @Beepb00p27
    @Beepb00p27 7 років тому

    You're incredibly insightful and I kinda got the vibe that you weren't super bubbly but more laid back and chill(I first saw you in one of Anna's videos). I think you're both so beautiful inside and out, as cliche as that sounds. If you're comfortable with it, I'm sure so many ppl would love to see you unfiltered and pursuing the things you want to do💖 All the best in finding your own path, cheers

    I’m sad that I didn’t find your channel sooner but after binge watching for several hours it is clear that you are hilarious but also a kind and beautiful soul and you deserve to be happy just like everyone else you strive to help. It’s of course easier said than done but you need to do what is best for you because of course you matter too. Your true fans will still be here at the end of the day. All we truly need is a place to find you when you are ready to start showing us the new content regardless of what it may be. I can respect your views and opinions that I have seen from your previous content and I’m excited to see what you decide to do next. Being a positive influence is an honorable endeavor and I truly wish you the best.

I've been struggling with some similar issues (not about UA-cam obviously) but about how people see me. Your words helped me with a very hard decision. This world really is getting negative. Thanks for inspiring me to keep going even when the darkness does not seem to lift. Prayers and good wishes to you.

I'm so happy that you are doing what YOU want to do again! You be you bc no one else will ever do it like you can. Unless they get a really good actor to play you in the biographical movie of your life and how you helped change the world. Well, I think they need to make one some day. 😊 Thank you for continuing to post videos and not giving others the satisfaction of getting you to give up. Much love and respect Stephanie. I'm looking forward to your new content and hope your stress goes down a ton!

But as I’ve been venturing out , I have yet to find someone so real and down to earth ! I myself and going through a transition phase where I just don’t want to be the person people think of me as but I want to be all of my whole self 100%. Loved the video. This hit home!

    This is great to hear from you, I'm very proud of you Steph! I've been watching you since I was 12 and I'm turning 17 this year. I know I speak for thousands of us when I say I will always support you in every decision you make. Xo

    You're amazing. I remember the time I first watched your videos in my early teens. You're right. I was lonely back then too, and you made me feel less lonely with your advice, your opinions and your story. I'm looking forward to anything you're going to post.

    Oh my gosh Steph please do what you feel is right UA-cam has changed a ton in the last 5 years or so when I started watching you I was so young now I’m turning 23. Thank you for not leaving UA-cam all together but I wouldn’t blame you if you did. You got this girl!
