Girl posting daily content is hard! I have a good team behind me that runs like a machine and the content I’m making is different from yours. I could never post every day if I edited myself, I let them have complete creative control. Don’t be hard on yourself! If you ever wanna chat about this, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Awe yay I'm so happy to see my other favorite youtuber on my favorite page. You both Crack me up so much and really kept me laughing when I was going thru a really hard time in life. Thank you both for the laughs ands I don't care how long it takes I'm here for the long haul as long as you post i'm watching
The fact that one of my favorite UA-camrs is being loving and supportive towards one of my other favorite UA-camrs oh, my heart is so whole today. And I really needed it. ❤🖤
Yesss! Jaime & Charlotte are good people.
That’s my girl 💛🎶
Classy of you to comment.
Your mental health comes first. Please take care of yourself, we'll be here when you're ready. 💜
Yes we will! ❤💯
Exactly! I just want her to be okay. 😢
But she needs money too and youtube crashes your channel if you take a break, And the mean comments are absurd. Of course I agree but everyone has to report that crap too. That's something we can actively do besides supportive comments. Those types see any kind of kindness as weakness I'm guessing, when the opposite is true.
I want to add to this. Jamie, shows like The soup have a wild amount of people all working different aspects of the show. It’s impressive as hell you were able to put together The Brew at such quality with your team. It was funny as hell and I love it but totally understand your burnout. We love you girl! Take care of yourself, we will be here.
Post dumb memes or as little as possible to keep your channel active we will like it and take your time your amazing ❤
Girl, the monotone voice, the deadpan delivery ....it's a mood, and it's unique. Don't change a thing.
Asmr
Ooo, feeling crappy is a vibe now? Yas, Queen, SLAY! Love that toxic positivity
😐
@@MuricaTurkeythis is how she’s always been? What do you want her to be faking jumping off the walls in a high pitch voice? Get real
Agreed. Be YOU!
Such cruel comments.
You are basically writing, producing, directing and acting in your own tv show!! Its amazing you do so much.
It's crazy to me how much harder the pressure is on independent creators. Major Networks don't expect this much content from the average sitcom.
Not to mention the way it intertwines with and effects the creator's personal life. Fans of major network shows don't expect access to the creator's personal life.
+ doing all that for her OWN ads!
I get so excited for her green-screen scenes! They are so comedically timed and hilariously ad-libbed!
Whenever I notice a creator isn't as active I just rewatch old videos. It lets them know we're still here and still enjoying their content even if they aren't posting every week or SEVERAL times a week. If you like a creator the best thing you can do is treat them like a real person.
Jamie I hope things look up for you soon. I hope you get the rest you need and I'm sorry things aren't going well for you mentally.
Sending my love and support
XxxxX
Legit gonna do the same with her videos this weekend and for the summer💗
Same!
You are an angel❤
This is a great point! It shows love to the creator, entertains us, and also helps their channel through revenue (if the copyright goblins haven't gotten to it) and keeping the creator relevant in the algorithms. Definitely binge older content when you crave some Jaime vids!
Great suggestion!! I do this all the time with Jaime's videos, when I'm working I'll go to her video playlists & just hit random in one. I also make sure I've hit like on all her videos as well when I'm rewatching.
I dunno if you will see this, but it’s also for anyone who feel like this too.
Jamie, this hurts my heart cause you are so hard on yourself. If me and my boyfriend (I can only speak for us and we are such huge fans!) if we only saw you once a month/once every three months/once a year we’d be so happy.
Take some pressure off yourself my friend, you are only one person and it sounds like a mountain of pressure on you. Which as a perfectionist, probably feels like that’s just how it should be, but it shouldn’t and that’s hard to be okay with. At least that’s how I feel/felt.
Don’t worry that you have lots of different things going and you feel you can’t ‘finish’ or maintain them, you know what my mom would say - Hey you still started them! That’s a huge deal! You had the creativity in you to create all these things, that’s amazing!!
I dunno if I wanna see you or any other creator daily, I have a list of everyone I watch weekly and I couldn’t keep up with daily people that’s too much.
Also the ‘I wanna be ugly for a day…’ yep I hear that! 🙌 I can’t relax enough to just let myself be!
My chronic illness holds me back and it’s a daily struggle to find acceptance that my content isn’t what it was, especially because I’m a perfectionist it’s so so hard to know that I can’t do/be what I was. You will find a balance, and as the perfectionist you are, that feels hard.
I put that song from Encanto ‘Surface pressure’ on, that’s MY song, I connect with every word and it takes the pressure of me and reminds me to stop. I hope it helps you too, then I listen to ‘what else can I do’ to get creative again.
‘What could I do if I just grew what I was feeling in the moment’ and ‘it didn’t need to be perfect, it just needed to be’ ‘but I’m still okay’
anyways this is such a long comment, not likely to been seen, but if you see it Jamie or anyone else who need a pep talk, you are doing enough, you are enough, and your enough is wonderful, be kind to yourself ❤
I read this 🥹 & I needed this too 😰 so badly right now! Thank you ❤️🔥 I really hope Jaime sees it 🥲 honestly, I can't believe I opened youtbe & saw THIS video first OR this comment right away 🥹 it's eerie. Thank you again 😣
❤️🩹 🙏❤️🩹
@@katatonic726I’m so sorry you needed this but I’m also so glad you found it and it helped, be kind to yourself my friend ❤ You’re doing your best and your best is awesome 👏
Thank you so much for this lovely comment. Right back at you 🥰💖
@@danielletea369🥰❤️
This was so well said! ❤ love & respect i truly hope jaime sees this because its spot on
From an old lady, almost 63 who obviously went through, what? half my life without all this... (nevertheless became a techi freak and love all kinds of art) you will NEVER please everyone, there are people out there who are just mean or jealous or love drama. YOU ARE ENOUGH! NOONE CAN DO IT ALL! Those that appear to, have help. You do what makes you happy and what you enjoy and what you have time for. Trust me when I say, when you get to be my age you will not say I wish I had worked more...
Girl same age as you and so agree with you! Be well n I already wrote to Jaime good wishes and compliments that are so due
New subscriber here: my 2 cents for what it’s worth.
1. I’m sorry this is so overwhelming and complicated. You explained the situation very clearly. These seem like tough situations without clear solutions.
2. 100% agree about not changing your style by “editing less.” At the end of the day, you’re making content you’re proud of.
3. As a new fan, I’ve been watching your back catalog. You’re really talented, funny, and relatable. Im sorry you get scary and hateful comments. So uncalled for.
Wishing you the best as you navigate everything ❤
Jaime: I’ve been on UA-cam for about 13 years. I understand how hard it is, but I need you to hear me: you put out a LOT of content, faster than any other creator I watch. So when you say “I can’t do it fast enough”, that breaks my heart. Please don’t drown in this pressure, because as UA-camr to UA-camr, you do amazingly. Some of the best creators out there, my favorites, don’t post for months (Drew Gooden comes to mind, HBomberguy, etc), and they still find success. Sometimes I post one video a month, and yeah, obviously I get less hits, but it’s not enough to drag my channel down. I do understand having a block; I find the copyright claim issue to hinder my creativity, it’s SO deflating. Every video of mine gets clocked and it drains me every time. I appeal every time and I’ve never not won, so that’s become a part of my routine now. It sucks, I hate it, it gives me anxiety every time. In terms of comments: don’t be afraid to blacklist certain words. The comment section should be a welcoming place for viewers, so if you need to moderate it like that, do it. Most of the time, when I feel the way you’re describing, it means I need to recharge, especially if I am blocked. Sometimes my brain is just overstimulated to the point where I feel like I need to do everything, so I do nothing because it’s compounding. I think your idea of taking a day off, a REAL day off, it great. Remember: willpower is overrated, you gotta FORCE IT. Force yourself to take a day, stay in bed, get some comfort food, and watch dumb movies. It will help if you commit to it and not guilt yourself into working (something I am a pro at these days.) Reach out if you ever need anything or just want to talk shop.
Aw, Roses, I just love you, and I appreciate your compassion and kindness, you and Jaime are my two favorite UA-camrs! I'm sorry there is so much invisible pressure that we viewers don't/can't see/empathize with. It's a good thing to remember for EVERYONE, that we all have so much more to our lives and work than the little bits that others see. Compassion is imperative to survival, no matter what we do to get food on the table. ❤🌹
1) I love your channel and your Murder, she wrote series has helped me a lot on bad mental health days, and 2) you’re absolutely right. Mental health comes first. Post as often or as little as you need to.
Your struggles matter and we love that you share them. You are brilliant and brilliance comes at a cost. We are just lucky the you share it with us.
100% here for creators helping each other. Well said.
Thank you for all the work you do creating such great content. I’m sorry you’ve been struggling. Take care ❤
As someone who was sobbing in her bed with two toddlers sobbing on top of her in a dogpile not two hours ago, I appreciate your vulnerability so much. It made me feel much less alone tonight.
I hope you are able to keep your sense of humor, because that image made me chuckle a little and then I felt bad for laughing. Hang in there!
Prayed for you, fellow mama!
I hope tomorrow is better for you three!! 🎉
Sobbing is quite ok. We all need to let out all that emotion.
Oh! I hope your tomorrow is better.
You make me laugh LITERALLY every day. I can't thank you enough for what you do! My 10 year old watched the Crossroads review episode with me, and he can not stop pronouncing it, "Brawtnay Spars." That's like Christmas to my brain, you have no idea!
brawtany spars!
Imagine what a world it would be if quality over quantity would be valued on social media. You have been one of my favorites for years. Sending hugs.
Also: While something may be going on with you, society at large is sicker than when you began. The increased negativity in comments IS NOT a reflection of you, or your content.
I draw comics, and for years and years the entire industry of making web-comics was to do a strip a day and constantly churn them out. Good, bad, indifferent, didn't matter, it was just important to create something every single day. At some point, the business model changed and the creators realized it was more important to create quality comics less often than it was to make garbage every day for the sake of posting. I noticed a lot of creators talking about how much better their mental and physical health was, less burnout, and more quality of their product.
It is EXACTLY what all other online creative industries need to get on board with. The idea of making constant content and not expecting people to burn out is insanity.
Deadset! Would I pay a hundred doll hairs to see a 90 minute concert by my favourite band? Fucking oath I would! Would my UA-cam membership cost be worth a single 45 minute video twice a year? Absolutely. It really sucks that people can be anonymous on the internet and spew their hateful thoughts at people who are, excuse me, giving us high quality content for free 🫠 I want to bop some sense into all of them bloody cowards.
Please don't talk about what we deserve. We're just happy to watch you, Jaime. You don't owe us anything, girl. This is your life. ❤
Yes one of the biggest standouts from this. We are not entitled to your creativity. It is a beautiful gift, and we are fortunate you share it with us so generously!
Best comment Award goes to you!!! 🏆🏅👏👏👏
fr honestly this is free content we dont even deserve her presence lol jaime is a l=beautiful person
@@sweetestsummer ill take it over a soul crushing 9-5 idk. but yes i can see evil comments taking a toll. ive been a victim of it on facebook, and all i did was call something out for being blatantly sexist LMAO . they even said "she's on the spectrum bro take it with a grain of salt" that one hurt
What we deserve has nothing to do with what Jaime deserves. Jaime deserves an audience that will support her no matter how often she puts videos out. She also deserves to have a good internal life and does NOT deserve to struggle in order to appease the masses. I’m glad there are so many people that can show her love.
I've lost my husband in March. I've been in a spiral and i found your channel, i've watched everything of yours. You've been such a bright light in my life. I love your content so much. Your movie reviews help me forget the pain and struggle I'm going through. Thank you for everything you do. Take care of yourself and please know that your work doesn't go unnoticed, it is helping people. Even if it feels like it doesn't matter, it does. I'm not here for specifics, like your reviews. I'm here for you. Your personality is why I watch. I don't feel sad with you. I would wait a month for your next video bc it gives me something to look forward to.
Sorry for your loss *hug*
so sorry for your loss :( ... that being said I can totally see why this channel has brought some light into your life ♥
I'm sorry for your loss. Jaime really is awesome for helping people all over the world. I hope youre having a nice day.
I am so sorry for your loss and am glad that you’ve found Jaime. I echo your sentiments. She is special and since you see it in her so easily, I think you’re special too. Sending hugs and thank you for sharing your genuine thoughts. ❤️
I'm sorry to hear that. I feel the exact same way. Jaime helps me as well, doesn't matter what type of content she puts out.
You are awesome and I feel like I’m hanging out with a friend when I watch you. Being “famous” is hard!! Vacations are essential!! You’re amazing.
I just lost my job that I've had for the past 8 years. I would give ANYTHING to never have to work a job like that again. I wish I could make videos for a living, but I can't think of 1 idea that I think other people would enjoy so I am blown away by people such as yourself who do it consistently. You are such a talent and I wish you all the best!
As viewers we “deserve” nothing. We appreciate what you create and provide for our entertainment. Jamie French at 50% hilarity would still be some of the most hilarious content I would consume. Take care of yourself- you are more than what you create. ❤
this 💖💖
I understand you're trying to be nice but her point is that she doesn't ever give 50% so the fact that you're calling any of her 100% "50%" just bc you didnt think it was 100% but "liked it just as much" feels like it'd be pretty insulting to me personally, like the mother in law that gives a back 😮handed. compliment. I suggest you either edit or delete this bc considering she just described the things shes struggling with & how I feel like this won't be very helpful. I understand your heart was in the right place most likely but seriously....
Completely agree with this! ^ we deserve nothing.
Please take time for yourself Jamie! I understand people depend on you (I mean kinda, I’m not in your line of work), but you’re human. Life has a way of slowing us down when we work too hard. The writers block and lack of creative thoughts is your body/brain’s way of saying: TAKE SOME TIME OFF ❤We’ll all be here ready to laugh and consume your content when you figure out all these challenges- and you will figure them out because you’re a bad mama jama.
Anyway I feel like a weirdo commenting on a UA-cam video, but I related to this video and appreciate you being vulnerable with us.
@@1Mariee999 I understand what you’re saying. Simple misunderstanding.
@@1Mariee999 She never said that she does only give 50%, shes saying that her 100% is so above and beyond that 50% would still be amazing compared to nothing.
Also can we all just praise Jamie for always being so transparent about everything that's going on behind the scenes! I wish more UA-camrs were like this.
It makes you aware of how much work it takes to create content - and appreciate it more as well.
I've only recently found you, and I absolutely love everything about you. You're authentic, relatable, creative, intelligent, talented, and hilarious. You take all the time you need and take care of yourself. I'm not going anywhere ❤
This! 🎉❤
Girl don't worry about posting consitisantly, we will be here and support you no matter how long you take to upload!!! Take your time!!! And take a BREAK xoxo
I come here for the QUALITY of your videos, NOT the QUANTITY. I know my one little comment isn't going to change how you feel overall, but I hope you know that there are those of us who know that the work you and your team puts in consists of long hours and unending editing! Many think it is as easy as recording, saving, and uploading, but that's the bare bones. And your editing is BRILLIANT, whether you do it yourself or you've inspired your team to do it.... you and your team are absolutely amazing. I never understood the opinion that youtubers have to do a certain amount of content to be a "real youtuber." Nonsense!! I follow so many channels for so many reasons, but one reason that NEVER factors in is quantity of content. Period. Hang in there! So many of us just want to laugh with you. ♥
This! Quality over quantity, baby.
Jennifer Spengler - you’ve said it best! Quality over Quanity any day!
Came to the comments to say this exactly. Quality > Quantity always.
YES! These were my thoughts exactly ❤❤
Agreed! I was especially shocked when she said people were upset that she has editors. That makes no sense to me because if they are demanding more content why would her having a team be a bad thing. If anything they should be happy that she has help because that improves the content and likely pushes content out faster.
I'm honestly fine waiting longer periods between uploads, I'd rather her rest and take care of herself than feel the need to keep posting and posting. I really hope she is able to take some sort of break soon.
Hopefully all the people sending her so much hate fade into the background and she will only see positive comments going forward, sadly I know that is probably not realistic but I will still hope it happens.
Sending Jaime all my love and support
From the moment I discovered you, I couldn't figure out why that extremely talented woman (who's the funniest woman alive) isn't a top UA-cam with millions of subscribers. Still, now I see that the most gifted people are the ones who doubt themselves the most and come through tough times. Jaime, we love you, and you're one of the best people. Knowing you and enjoying your art is such a blessing, and despite being pretty big already, your big moment is ahead. You're amazing, and you deserve all the love!
Right? I honestly can't believe she does have at least a million followers here. She's one of my favorite creators ❤
you’re very kind. Thank you
I love you and your vulnerability, Jaime. I hope that you get your sparkle back soon ❤️
I feel the same way!!!
Because she isnt fake.... sadly being hateful and fake is what most people like .
And I'll never understand that.
Your videos have given me so much joy over the years and helped my mental health during the bad times. Hope you feel better soon!
Your editing talent is why I subscribed; I love it. I’m glad you put in as much work as you do.
Dear Jaime, I want you to know that not all people get upset and angry about you NOT posting. Most of your followers get happy whenever you DO post. I really don’t think you owe us anything, especially if you feel like the pressure of it is getting to you. I do not pay you directly, thus you don’t owe me anything, it’s that simple. I appreciate it whenever you produce new content and I’m thankful. And that is how most of us feel. Unkind and angry voices are just the loudest ones in the room. Don’t let them get to you. Sending lots of love, bless you ❤
I agree 100 this is how I feel.
Yes! I don’t understand why people would be upset. I’ve noticed that confident people are the ones with the most hate. Horrible people writhe when others are comfortable with themselves and have a supportive family to rely on which is why they want to bring you down. The scary thing is that they don’t KNOW they want that but that’s their main goal. Please take care of yourself ❤ and please know your real fans and followers love your content because we see us in you (but funnier lol). We’re the geeky girls who would quote movies and quotes when we were younger while everyone looked as us like we were weird and MADE SURE we knew it. Miserable people are everywhere and I don’t expect you to “brush it off” because words hurt. Please take your time to recover and TAKE SOME TIME OFF!!! girl, you need to be able to go to the park at 10 am and enjoy the sun once in a while lol! We’ll be here when or if you decide to come back ❤
I second this! I don't have any expectations of you, I'm just excited when you post a vid on YT. I know that you have expectations for yourself that you have to meet due to your responsibilities to the people who work for you and the treadmill you are on. I am not a social media person but I understand the pressure to synergize and maintain your momentum across multiple platforms, but you should completely disregard sassy comments about "where you've been" or how long it takes you to post. I know it's easier said than done, but you have real action items on your to-do list and catering to inconsiderate viewers who expect you to perform like a content machine should not be on that list.
@@lorisan-9059
Exactly
I was looking for this comment, thank you! What's wrong with people acting like a content creator it's their employee?
Hey Jaime! I’m the flight attendant fan you ran into recently in O’Hare; you were such a doll and I’ll remember meeting you for the rest of my life. Im sorry you’re feeling stuck/worn out/overwhelmed. It seems like the hamster wheel of life just keeps turning, whether our feet are under us or not. I hope you’re able to somehow find a balance or a way to release the pressure as it builds up. We’ll watch whatever content you are able to create, and support you during the times that you can’t. Sending you the kindest wishes ❤️
Echoing many other positive posts-I think you’re fantastic - smart, talented and incredibly funny. I’ve recently started watching your vids and enjoying your content so much. Sorry that copyright claims are a pain in the dick for you-I can’t even begin to imagine the frustration. Anyway, sending love from Pittsburgh, PA. ❤❤❤
I just discovered your channel a few days ago, so I'm a bit late to the party.
Your videos are something I now look forward to. They bring me genuine, joyful laughter...which these days can be in such short supply.
I hope that your struggles have eased up a bit for you, and that you find a good balance between the doing, and the being!
❤
I’m living with stage 4 cancer and some days I can’t do much, but I can smile and laugh when you post. You have a profound positive impact on my life just being you. Your hard work is obvious and appreciated. You come first though, you matter, your health matters, your happiness matters. True fans will always support you. You got this.
Bless you!
I'm sorry you are experiencing that, I hope you are able to fill your days with joy. Please seek God while you can. Isaiah 55:6 - Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near
Sending you love and healing vibes ❤❤❤
Much love to you ❤️
God bless everyone
"This is who I am."
Who you are, Jaime, is a beautiful bundle of stardust❣️
SHE HAS MONEY I DONT
Yes! This!!!
Just wanted to say that I was on another form of the medicine known as Ozempic and WOW it messed me up big time. I think it combines with anti-depressants/anxiety meds in very dark and evil ways. I'm so glad you realized what was happening and got away from it. Take your time sorting things out and trying something different! I wish you the best!
I agree with you girl. Your editing is what drew me to your channel first! It’s top notch!
Girl, you know we're here for you. You are a light for many. Thanks for doing what you do.
And there are OTHER channels we can watch in the meantime. It's not an issue at all on our behalf 🤷
We love you sweet girly! Thank you so much for sharing and being vulnerable with us, it's not easy!
Outside the fact that I'm here for Jamie and currently reading all the fans' lovely comments she deserves feeling super warm, I am DYING with this Rupaul photo and the user name flazeda. DYING. 🤣🤣
@@elenisamara4377 can you tell I'm a super fan?? It's my wife And I's guilty pleasure. I laugh everytime I see that photo of Ru. Our son even put it on a water bottle for me for mother's day this year. I swear, I make drag race references all day and nobody gets it so I appreciate you!
The title should have been "I am doing well" because this level of honesty, self-awareness, and realism it's rare and priceless, and will be something you can build on as you make a healthier schedule for yourself.
I am so glad to have found your channel this week. I am blown away by how funny, relatable and talented you are. As a creatuve person I totally understand the (creativity oozing like lava.. to not feeling anything..) its crazy how our creativity can fluctuate so much. Its so refreshing when content creators are vulnerable and share the REAL side of things. Sorry you are struggling❤
As a former workaholic who took a long time to realize that I had replaced one addiction for another ... I literally became addicted to work! You have to learn how to find people you trust and let them help you with the extra things that you do not have time for. Yes, letting that control go can be difficult, but not impossible. Good luck. ✌❤
I’m kind of shocked people think you don’t post here enough; you post all the time! And I would still watch even if you didn’t. Some of my favorite creators make like 3 videos a year.
Take care of yourself. I can’t imagine the pressure of trying to come up with new ideas, write about them, film them, edit them, all on a consistent basis. You’re putting in work. We appreciate you ❤
You don't have to be a genius to instantly realize after watching some of your videos that most of your formats take way more prep and editing than the norm. They are an explosion of montages, clips, and acts and so elaborate. Every video is a piece of art. Don't think we don't notice and appreciate this
Which makes her videos more creative and hilarious! Sometimes I wonder how she can think of so many details! And so funny and unique!
I agree! I just found her yesterday and love her personality and artistic style
Agree 💯 percent
Very well said my fellow Frencher 😂
This! Genius takes energy and time and she's so good at it
Your content is good enough to wait for, in a way it is just that much sweeter when I haven’t seen a video from you in a while and then a notification pops up that Jaime French put out a new video and it makes my month! You’re one of the hardest working content creators in the game and I think what some folks don’t understand is the you presented on your channel is a brand, it isn’t just you riffing and putting out the first take of whatever you said while watching stuff, that’s a whole other genre of content, and if you feel like you can’t produce content that is in line with the brand you are comfortable putting out into the world then it needs to be reworked. I tried starting a commentary channel myself a long time ago and it’s just so much work, tedious exhaustive work. Anyway, I got your back Jaime! You’re the coolest, keep doing what you do!! ❤❤❤❤
I was just thinking while watching a movie review yesterday that the way you edit is SO detailed and well thought out. The amount of movie clips, jokes, memes and antics you provide in one review is unthinkable! I just binge watch your channel and it makes me so happy. It's pure comedy and good entertainment. We love it and we're here for it, but we also want you to take care of yourself. Just know that your viewers can see and appreciate the effort you put in! Even if you have to delegate more of the creativity and writing at some point that's ok! It's still YOUR content and you're not a fake for delegating more. It's like running your own television comedy show and that takes a LOT of employees and a team of creative writers!
All locking arms and circling around Jamie's camp... we must protect her at all costs!
If you don’t make time for your wellness, you will be forced to make time for your illness. This quote helped me realize that as much as I said I didn’t have time for whatever my body and mind were needing, I was going to be forced to spend that time one way or another. You’re amazing and you clearly have a lot on your plate but I believe in you and you’ll figure this out ❤
Oh, that is a good quote! I'm using that.
Dang that's a good one. Very insightful
Just discovered your channel while doing research for my own podcast. I absolutely love your work. Well done. Take care of yourself. Wishing you well!!
I just found you recently. I love what you do. It's great to see your talent and have a laugh. I love the movie critiques. Thank you.
One. Week. Off. Take at least one full week no matter who it affects or how. You will be stronger and more productive for it. One week, no posting or creating. Go to the spa. Have a massage. Sleep in. Take a day trip. Go on walks. Try new restaurants. Go to museums. People watch. The ideas will come and energy will flow once you’ve had
a break ❤
It’s so true, she’ll be full of ideas and feel so renewed. I hope she sees this!
I'm sure she wants to but being inconsistent completely messes with the algorithm. Videos might not get recommended anymore, etc. It's horrible that it's built that way.
Screw it all if you're hurting. Take off until you miss it enough to come back. Your viewers will be here waiting for you.
@@nunpho
I understand that. But the set back will be temporary and the benefits (renewed creativity, vitality, energy, improved perspective, increased stamina) will be ten fold and far outweigh the temporary affects of taking a break.
@@VanessaKittredge it's just a massive risk for creators to take especially when they depend on it for a living, even more when they have staff that depend on them. They can't just close everything down for themselves and their staff.
It's horrible that the algorithm forces people to be this way.
JAIME! Your sense of humor is LEGENDARY. Your comedic timing is EXCEPTIONAL. The faces you make are POETIC. Your talent is UNWAVERING. Your charisma is ON POINT. Your realness is COMFORTING. You are a BEAUTIFUL SOUL. Me my sister and sister in-law quote you and bond over your jokes. This life is overwhelming and you've decided to shine happiness and light on your audience which is very much appreciated in this sick sick world we live in. Take your time. Be gentle with yourself. It's gosh darn awful (PG rating) that these huge companies come after you. IMO you give them more exposure and refresh the public's memory that their silly lame movies even exist. Thank you for sharing. We love you! I love you! And I honestly wish the best for you. If no more videos ok. You are what matters! Not your content.
Also too and P.S. and just so you know vitamin D super important. Iron super important. Iodine super important. You're not alone. Take care and be gentle with yourself. We are our own worst critic.
P.P.S. those negative commentors can FFFFFKKKKKK ALLLLLLLL THE WAY OFF, they are losers living in loser energy and they get off on it. They're sick people. You are not sick, you are responding appropriately to your environment.
Peace love light and all that stuff😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
What a nice msg 👍☺️
Really nice comment ❤
🙌🙌🙌
Love the love for this creator! ❤
BEST comment! 😊
There are many of us in that post-Ozempic mental train wreck boat together. It's not just you! Holding space, sending healing, and feeling massive gratitude for all the laughter and joy you & your team have shared! ✨
Sometimes you’re the only reason I smile in an entire day.
And there's no pressure to produce faster, because she has a nice big archive of stuff to binge watch for those that want to.
We don’t ‘deserve’ content we need you to be happy healthy and thriving ❤
Really informative-I never could imagine how complicated and challenging content creation is. While you were talking, I just kept thinking of how ironic it is because you are one of the UA-cam creators that make me laugh and uplift my spirits. I never considered how heavy it could be! Really appreciate all the effort that goes into your content and, also, your vulnerability and honesty!
I’ve been so burned out before… it’s like it physically hurts. Be open to ways to solve this… even consult with leaders outside the industry- I can’t express this enough. ❤
Great content! You're hilarious. I just found your channel today and binged about 5 hours straight. I think you know exactly what you're doing and that it is funny as heck. Keep it up!
Just because you chose this job doesn’t mean you should just be able to handle the cancer that people can be. I’ve watched you for years and laughed and copied makeup looks and fallen asleep to your movie review playlists I’ve made and appreciate you so much. This may not be a helpful message, but you’re appreciated! So very much. Thank you for being Jaime French. No one else can be you! ❤️💜 I’m sorry I can’t help you more. I really really would! Thanks again.
I’m sad that you even had to explain yourself about any of this. You are strong; you are beautiful; you are creative; you are intelligent; you are funny. You take a deep breath when you feel like everything is going to collapse. You got this 💋
I love that Charlotte is here supporting. Two absolutely funny and creative women.❤
Jaime, I can't get enough of your content, everything you do is entertaining to me and honestly often it feels like therapy. It's your views in life, your sense of humour, your calming voice; they all make me feel like things are going to be fine! Your content is so great BECAUSE you put all this effort in it. Screw the industry! They don't deserve you
I really appreciate you and I'm sorry you have so much going on. I'm glad you were able to share and I hope you are able to find ways to destress; as a fellow anxiety/depression gal I know that can feel impossible sometimes! Excited to see more content when it's out and just in general, I'm rooting for you 🙂!
Gal, your content is free to me. So I don't care how often you post. I'll be watching all of them. You're the only creator that I don't skip your ads...ever....even when I rewatch because you make them enjoyable to watch.
Same. I haven't been able to just watch a video without skipping through in awhile.
SAME!
Same here! I absolutely abhor ads but I always watch hers because they’re so dang funny 😄
Saaaame!!!
Hi Jaime, I just wanted to say that I really appreciate your extremely high quality content and editing and I’ll always be a loyal viewer. Speaking of Facebook, I actually found you through facebook (which is weird because I like never use Facebook but I was so thrilled when I found your content). I love your movie reviews and memba and the brew and everything else you do (I even like your old makeup reviews). You’re the only UA-camr that I don’t skip the ad reads for because yours are always funny and entertaining (especially when Ember - your bird, I think that’s her name lol - makes an appearance). Also I think it’s CRAZY that you get hateful comments because you’re the LEAST problematic content creator. I hope you’re taking good care of yourself and things get better. I’ll always be a loyal viewer, no matter what goes on. Thanks for all the laughs and entertainment you’ve given us and I can’t wait to see the new Selena Gomez movie review :) Love you!
I was so shocked when you said you feel like you aren’t posting enough for us! I seriously am always so surprised by the amount of content you give us. You do enough, and you are enough 🤍🤍🤍
I appreciate the thorough way in which you explained everything going on in the background. I love your channel and I got hooked after a bad breakup and made me laugh my way back to healed. Thank you 💕
GURL, you have become my favorite channel and pleeeaase, take whatever time you need to keep producing this top notch content. We’ll be here, we’ll wait, we love you and your humor.
I related to every word in this. Thank you for your vulnerability. And know you are so not alone. There is NOTHING wrong with you for being unable to keep up with the relentless pace being a content creator demands. I think the biggest disconnect that a lot of us who create content face, is we are creative. And creativity is a fickle thing. It doesn’t sit around all day, but visits randomly instead. And when it’s here it’s awesome, and really cool videos are created. But the reality of content creation means we also have to stick to crazy production schedules to have any success. And when we can’t keep up because creativity hasn’t shown up, instead of being able to wait it out, we blame ourselves for not having enough “grit” to capture this impossibly fleeting thing. So attempts are made, and mental health spirals because “why can’t I just do this” thoughts show up. Which means you get behind. And makes you stressed. Which certainly doesn’t help creativity show up. No advice here. Just hope you know it’s not you failing to keep up. It’s the system demanding art be mass produced at an rate that is unsustainable and joy sucking. You are doing a great job. And we are lucky to have whatever you give us! Thanks for being you on a sometimes hostile and toxic platform. I hope you feel the overwhelming goodness of the comments today, and can ignore the haters!
Best comment!! So well said!!
🗣🗣 QUALITY OVER QUANTITY 🗣🗣 I LOVE and I appreciate every single piece of work that goes into your videos. From the editing, the ad reads (I can never skip them lol), the subjects of the videos, every single thing. I go back and rewatch a lot of your videos because they’re so funny and interesting, even the serious stuff. I wish it could be easier on your guys’ side ❤
This!
This!!!!!! Well put💗
Yes! Jaime is one of 2 creators that I never skip the ad reads for, bc they are always fun and really are their own little bits of mini content! (The other is Mista GG- he makes each ad read into a musical number/rap)
yes ma’am!!!
Yes! The ads are as entertaining as the content most times. It’s incredible!
I just happened to find your channel almost a week ago and I can’t get enough. I think you are beautiful and absolutely hilarious. I know how stressful everyday life is and there’s no way I could imagine the kind of stress and pressure you are under. Post when you are ready to and keep up the good work. Your channel is amazing! ❤
I don’t know what to say that hasn’t already been said. I’ve enjoyed your videos for years, I definitely rewatch in times when I need comfort. I don’t usually comment on videos at all, but this time I just wanted to throw my support out there. Jamie, you’re great and you’re not alone and you are appreciated. Creating is hard. Shoot, being a human is hard lol Kudos to you for keeping on trying, for continuing to look for ways to make it work and pursue your dreams. Hang in in there friend ❤
Please remember that just because you underestimated your capabilities to meet standards or deadlines does not mean that you are a failure. I followed your channel because I could tell that you were different than other influencers and creators. I followed you because I definitely would have been one of those kids making movies with you. It is your genuine personality that is so fun for me to relate to and enjoy. These times that you do share about your personal life are impactful and the viewers who truly care about you appreciate each time you share your creativity with us, no matter the timing of when videos go live.
Same!!
I completely agree!
THIS. And yes, omg, I made so many weird random odd videos with my cousin just like her too back in the day. Would been right there with her
I promise it’s not in your head - internet trolls have absolutely gotten more vicious over the last few years. The FDA also released a warning about compounded Ozempic. What you’re going through is valid. Those who are here to support you will continue to be here to support you. You do what you need to do to take care of yourself. Love your content and I just go rewatch old stuff if I need a Jaime fix. It never gets old. ❤
Trolls have gotten so awful. It’s definitely real.
What what it’s worth, I just come here for you and your personality. You are so unique and engaging to listen to. You could just talk with no jump cuts and I would still love it.
Please just do whatever you need to do to protect YOU at all costs.
This is so meaningful to hear. I’m also a creator and don’t make anywhere NEAR the amount of content you do. But I am a mom and my free time is literally so scarce. I had the most frustrating conversation with my dad yesterday who couldn’t understand why I “can’t just kick it up a notch” or “get more help from my husband” (who also works full time). It’s just not feasible to churn out hours of content and all the social posts in the hours before my kids wakes up and after she goes to bed. It’s nuts. I love my work and I hope to be at a level where I can pay to delegate some tasks but in the meantime, it is so much harder than folks realize. I loved this video and watching it start to finish was like a little therapy session with a pal. Thanks for being you! And thanks for all the laughs. I rewatch your content all the time.
Also I can def related to Stress being the worst thing for creative flow. Thanks for sharing your experience. Sending you love. I’m in for more beauty content if that’s easier for you in the meantime!
Exactly, therapy session with a pal. Plus she talks out loud and it's company to our own voice echoing as we unload the dishwasher. She is great company! 🤗👩❤️💋👩
Anyone can put out content. Not everyone has talent for it. You have talent. Meryl Streep doesn't make movie after movie after movie. She takes her time and choses the roles that best showcases her talent without losing fans, support, or clout. You fan base will forever be here. Quality over quantity. You're funny, real, and gorgeous, dahling. Do you and we are here for it!
You don’t understand how much you saved me. I stumbled upon you 2 years ago during my debilitating post partum depression. . Some days, your videos were literally the only things I could look forward too to keep me alive. . I wish I could put into words just how much you have meant to me & my mental health journey. I’m praying for you, & sending you so much love & good thoughts. You’re so appreciated. Thank you for what you do. ❤️
It's so hard to put into words how her channel have helped a lot of us because they are just UA-cam videos. I sincerely hope you are doing better. I remember sometimes laughing at her humor would make me realize I hadn't laughed in days. I routinely watch her video on The Happening because it's almost comforting now.
I honestly don’t understand how anyone would ever waste a second of their life putting you down or degrading you.
You are by far my favorite content creator! Favorite UA-camr. Period.
I hate to hear this burden that’s been weighing on you. I pray over and over that you are able to find your coping mechanism, the thing that can help you de stress and unwind.
You are soo amazing girl ❤️
You do you boo!!! 🥰 love your content, it's so wholesome and funny 😂 my sister sent me your content on Facebook and I had to look for you on UA-cam. You haven't failed to make me laugh with your reviews and commentaries. I hope you are doing better 🤗
That “life update: I’m not doing well” hit hard like an arrow to the heart
You ok honey???
I Hope you are doing better ❤️
Your true stans do not want you to stress out over content. We're just happy to be in the same world as you. Don't trip chocolate chip. Your light shines bright. Be easy on yourself. You're golden. 🌟✨⭐
I'm new here, I came across your FB and binged so many videos you are amazing!! You're different and that's what makes you as incredible as you are. You can tell your stuff isn't rushed and I'm so sorry you feel so overwhelmed 😢
You'll get you're groove back beautiful and till you do lean on your friends and employees I'm sure they'll help anyways they can and you clearly trust them to be involved in your process ♡
I just found your channel about a week ago, and I have to say you are automatically one of my favorite creators. You are so funny, creative, hard-working, and relatable. I could tell right away how much effort and work goes on behind the scenes, especially the green-screen segments where you and your team makes it look like you actually belong in the movie! I had no idea that you were making so much content for different platforms as well, but it makes sense. It also makes a lot of sense that you are burnt out right now! The content and algorithm machines are a monster that chews people up and spits them out.
I know there are a lot of reasons not to, but you really need a nice vacation and rest. Pretty much every content creator I've ever watched or supported has taken a week or two off when they need it. I know you have a lot of people relying on you, but YOU also rely on you. You owe it to yourself to be selfish and take a break. I very much relate to the needing to be strong for others aspect, and also the working so much you stress out and have a mental breakdown aspect. I have lost/quit several jobs over the years because of that latter part. I don't want to see it happen to anyone else.
You said viewers deserve a creator who uploads regularly, but you as a creator deserve peace and mental wellness! We will be fine. I hope you find some healing and some time for a deep breath. I wish there was more we could do!
Admittedly, my absolute favorite videos on your channel are movie reviews. That sucks that copyright issues are causing problems. Your humor and your editing are what makes the channel so awesome. There is pressure to create, but your real fans will support you and wait for you. Taking care of yourself is priority number one. Your channel is wonderful!
Your reel made my friend lol after her chemo the other day. I’m sorry you’re drained but I want you to know there are many people holding space, praying and sending love. You are so valued!
I love how you edit your videos and I'm all for waiting for your video. Don't worry and keep going on girl. In you own tuning.
Hi Jamie! Just wanted to send you so much love and many hugs your way! People don’t realize how much work it takes to be full content creator but also the mental toll it takes being on the public eye. I hope you know how loved you are, how talented and funny you are, how beautiful and just overall amazing.
XOXOXOXO
Girl, you are producing essentially a show. These daily/weekly old school cable shows have a team of writers, editors, lighting and network funds. You are amazing!!
(Crazy, I didn’t even know that Facebook is still like… a thing 🙈)
You said, we deserve someone who uploads regularly and stuff, but honestly I think most of us don’t care. We’re just happy whenever there’s a new video from you. At least that’s me.
Please take care of yourself and get better. We’ll be here 🥰
Yes! I was thinking this as well 💞 Agreed.
I thought the same! I don't really find myself noticing how long it's been. I just click as soon as I see a new video.
For me it's like, I care, obviously if I subscribe to you that means I like you and want more content from you? But I've followed so many people online over the past 20 years who upload basically never - one person I follow updates their comic once every *five years* at this point??? - that someone uploading a new video every few months it's just like... "Oh so you're like every other person I follow." At this point I'm more wowed if someone is uploading frequently, people uploading basically on occasion is just normal to me now.
And I mean regardless I'm not like "WHY AREN'T YOU UPLOADING THAT FREQUENTLY ANYMORE?!" on people's comments sections. It's not going to make them upload more frequently no matter how much people complain.
We should all just be happy that she uploads more frequently than once every 5 years.
me neither. I went to follow right now
Lol I didn’t either and just logged on for the first time in a long time to follow Jaime. I had no idea it was popular and NO clue people made money off their FB pages!
I love hearing about you & what's going on behind the scenes. Facebook is where I found you but watch a lot of UA-cam & JUST was recommended you today on here 😂 I have now watched about a dozen videos of yours in 3 hrs. You do you! We have enough content to keep us busy😘 I would rather have your quality content on a timeline that is healthy for you❤
This is straight up the most interesting video I've watched in years - never thought about the difference between streaming platforms. Thank you for your content ❤
I hope you feel the love radiating from the comments. You bring the world so much happiness with your humor, talent, and beauty. Your light shines so bright, we aren’t going anywhere!
Jeemeeeee! You are a light in the dark and are true delight! I’m sorry that you’re drowning right now (relatable, tbh) and I hope you turn the corner soon. I feel this so much - you’re not alone. Hang in there, friend! ♥️♥️♥️
I adore you, Sarah! I love the support you are giving to another content creator. ❤ This makes my heart smile and so happy that I’m a supporter of strong, smart, funny, and genuinely amazing women like you and Jaime. Stay you, always.
Thank you for sharing! I ❤ your videos and you! This was very informative, I really had no idea how much goes into this! I learned a lot about how hard you have to work to get these out and I appreciate what you do so much!!! 💖
Thank you so much for posting this because most people want to know what it’s like behind the scenes to run these channels on social media. Thank you so much for going in depth and explaining how much work and teamwork is put in and how much it takes to keep up with how quick the algorithm is on any of these platforms, and the new war on copywriting.
I always thought “wow, she works REALLY hard at these videos” bc of all the add ins and it’s not just you sitting there talking, you have so much added stuff, the ads are amazing, you are so amazing and I love your content and your energy girl. ❤🙌🏽👏🏽💪🏽
Agree!!!!
Same! It's a lot of work making videos! I remember trying to do them in my high school tech class
So true. After binging the channel I have watched others and don't really get into them because there is not the same standard--it just misses that whole extra level of humor Jaime gives
Anyone who sees this comment, take the time to go through all of Jaime’s videos and like all of them if there’s any you have forgotten. Support her in every way you can ❤
Jamie I f*ckin love you. Will always be a supporter of all your content. Can relate when it comes to all the depression and anxiety. Watched your Ozempic video and I’m super glad you’re off it. Hang out in there girlyyyy 💕.
so much love to you girl! i am super introverted and struggle with depression. I love your videos no matter what style/format or mood you are in... you re indeed a human too, its refreshing to hear such honesty online!
when i watch your vids it just feels like i am hanging out with a kind hilarious friend who just gets it. thank you for all you do
Hi Jamie 😍! As a fan from the "meekup" days and as a therapist I say this: You owe yourself SO much compassion and kindness. You have done amazing things with your career, you are extremely special and the demand for more of YOU exemplifies that. When you take care of yourself and your needs, you will have more to give. The fatigue and burn-out is your bodies' way of saying "take better care of me!". You strike me as a highly sensitive and empathic person. People like that (us) need more support, recovery time, and down time. You are a deeply creative person with so many gifts and strengths. Give yourself some credit for what you have created from here. The demands from the social networks and algorythims don't work with your energy and that is not your fault! It is so clear you are doing your best to keep up with something that meets your gifts but doesn't match your rhythm in life. But these are the moments when we dig deep, the moments when we feel like we could almost give up. These are the moments when we find what we are capable of. You were the energy that brought me to UA-cam over the pandemic, my first favorite and my always favorite. I save your videos to watch later because they are the best. So silly! I know. But you do something no one else does. I hate that there are mean people out there bringing hate. But that is spewed from ignorance and jealousy. They could never understand you! Keep being you, that's all we want. Even if some of it is more simplified content, I know I'd be happy to see it. Just you talking to the camera is enough. YOU are enough. And I mean it!!! Your girl from Northern Cali, Kim
This meant a lot to me, thank you Kim
Last year I left an abusive partner I had been with for five years. I needed to laugh to keep from going crazy. It was the hardest year of my life separating myself from that control and trauma. You (and Impractical Jokers too honestly) kept me sane and became a golden spot in my day.
I’m grateful your content is exactly as it is, the quality, and the humor, and the time you obviously take to make it top notch.
❤❤
Congrats on getting out. I wish you nothing but continued healing and happiness ❤
Hello! I'm a new viewer - just discovered you by accident a week ago. I just want to say that you've made me literally LOL many times in the past week, and that's really rare. You have a way of making people watching you feel like you're the best friend they wish they had. I'm happy as a clam watching your back catalogue, and really enjoying it. So when there's more, I'll enjoy that, but in the meantime, lower your self-pressure! You're likeable and funny as heck.
totally admire all the content that you already do and the quality of it! it's so much to do. and although it won't take any load off your shoulders: I'll listen to you ramble and comment on and about literally anything :)
Thank you so much for being transparent! I can’t imagine how difficult it is to be on display 24/7, but I appreciate you creating content and sharing your creativity with the world, despite creeps and hateful people.
I found you two years ago when I was in the throes of grad school, and your movie reviews helped me survive some of my most grueling times. Fast forward to when your Purple Hearts review came out, you were with me while I was going through a traumatic birth experience. Since then, your content has become a comfort to me and it’s not uncommon for me to have your videos on in the background. I wanted to let you know what a positive impact you’ve had on my life! I’m sending you air hugs. 😊
First off, you absolutely do not deserve any hate. The fact that people send you hate is baffling. You are just so kind and only deserve kindness back. As a person who suffers from PTSD, my heart is with you. Thank you for being so vulnerable and transparent about how much work this requires and how hard it can be. Anybody who judges you for being honest, isn’t being honest with themselves.
I watch your videos mainly on Facebook and kind of wondered why I’d been seeing less from you. But every time I see one, it always makes me laugh! Love all of your contents. Please take all the time you need, make contents on your own pace and I’ll be here🙌
Bless your heart. You're absolutely amazing, and you make my daughter and I laugh so much. I don't imagine you realise just how much good you do by making people laugh. It's so wonderful. We love the ones where you pretend to be on the other end of ASMR video makers...just brilliant!!! Sending much love. ❤
