I'm thankful that they're watching me, really, I'm totally flattered...but I don't owe them anything but respect, and visa versa.
I also refuse to treat people like idiots or sugar coat things, which apparently makes me "mean." I'm sorry, you're most likely in your teens, minimum, so why should I treat you like you're a 5-year-old? I hate being treated that way, I'm not going to do it to other people.

Uhhh I know what you're saying! I find it disrespectful for me to take the time to go through and mention certain things in a video only to have someone ask something that I've already mentioned in that same video they commented on. One of my longtime peeves have been when someone asks a question during lectures when the instructor just went over it but that I can still understand since it's in real time and sometimes we miss things but with videos, you have the ability to replay. I sometimes feel like making a video is useless I might as well just have a blank video titled skincare or whatever and have people ask questions if they're not going to watch anyway? But fortunately, it's not everyone, just a few dingalings
And I get the same treatment as you in terms of not sugarcoating things and being labeled as mean. Sometimes I get comments from people saying I need to smile more because I look pissed in my videos. I've even watched those videos from beginning to end and I honestly don't see anything wrong with them. Some people have very outgoing personalities and some people are more mellow. Plus people will act differently when they are talking to someone versus an inanimate object like a camera... I can't believe people seriously expect me to change my personality or fake it on camera. They don't realize that just because someone's smiling doesn't always mean that they are happy and just because someone's not smiling doesn't mean they are pissed, sad, or whatever. If you expect me to smile as I talk like Ryan Secrest, forgetaboutit.
& yess i totally agree with you! Oh wells. What can we say/do, it's really not within our control just be smart & don't get conned by their reviews!
