00:00:06.580 --> 00:00:07.100
smoke weed m9.

00:00:07.100 --> 00:00:08.580
Check it out! Link in the description.

00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:11.280
Hello, and welcome.

00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:12.260
You suck.
(Yes)

00:00:13.540 --> 00:00:20.060
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Okay. How about something lighter? You're not that great. Sorry for sounding a bit smug.

00:00:20.060 --> 00:00:25.400
I promise I mean well. Don't worry. I'm not that great either. Okay, so let's just say it together.

00:00:25.400 --> 00:00:29.200
I suck at pretty much everything

00:00:25.410 --> 00:00:28.349
I suck at pretty much

00:00:29.019 --> 00:00:32.820
Everything, you're not even saying it out loud!

00:00:29.200 --> 00:00:34.540
You're not even saying it out loud. Listen, I don't actually care about helping you here

00:00:32.820 --> 00:00:34.529
Listen. I don't actually care about helping you here

00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:39.760
It's just that this is something that I've learned from being a high profile

00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:46.160
Personality online over the couple years and that is it's better to just acknowledge that you're not that great

00:00:46.899 --> 00:00:52.229
And I don't mean it in a self destructive kind of way. I'm just talking about ego

00:00:52.629 --> 00:01:00.209
It's something that I used to struggle with or at least. I think it's a constant struggle when you are this handsome

00:01:02.350 --> 00:01:04.350
That was a funny joke right?

00:01:04.809 --> 00:01:07.798
For someone that's gone through somewhat of an ego trip

00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:11.519
I think it's so easy to spot when other people are going through it

00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:13.510
And it's such an ugly behavior that I can't even

00:01:13.510 --> 00:01:19.349
Sympathise with the person going through it and a lot of times. I criticize through videos when these sort of things happen

00:01:19.350 --> 00:01:22.919
We don't need to get into any names okay, when I first received my first bit of

00:01:23.830 --> 00:01:25.500
hate or criticism

00:01:25.500 --> 00:01:30.869
I'm gonna use the term hate very loosely in this video because that's how I think people do in general and that's kind of a

00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:34.229
Problem in itself when I received my first bit of "hate"

00:01:34.229 --> 00:01:39.089
It was about six seven years ago, and I had just been making videos

00:01:39.090 --> 00:01:43.920
And it was just me and my audience and no one had really sort of interfered with that

00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:48.750
And we just had our own special group and bubble, and it was it was a beautiful time honestly

00:01:49.689 --> 00:01:54.539
Looking back, but then I did get criticized for being squeaky screaky humor

00:01:55.299 --> 00:01:56.900
sexual content

00:01:56.900 --> 00:01:58.169
like sexual jokes for kids and

00:01:58.810 --> 00:02:04.740
Inappropriate humor in general and very childish, and I I just was not equipped to handle it

00:02:04.770 --> 00:02:08.220
I never faced any sort of criticism especially in the way

00:02:08.220 --> 00:02:12.660
They as ruthless as the Internet can be as well you might be criticized by one person

00:02:13.090 --> 00:02:18.640
But then a whole army of the internet cult sort of joins in my sort of first reaction to it was

00:02:19.910 --> 00:02:21.040
mm-hmm

00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:23.050
There's nothing wrong with me, okay

00:02:23.230 --> 00:02:28.060
There's something wrong with you, and why by the way why are you even criticizing me?

00:02:28.060 --> 00:02:32.379
If you don't like my content, then don't watch it, and that's a classic ego

00:02:33.410 --> 00:02:39.309
Response I think because you're sort of saying that oh, I'm above criticism just because you don't like me

00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:45.220
It's your problem and not mine and it makes sense and that's sort of the sentiment. That's been carried out

00:02:45.220 --> 00:02:46.910
I think for a long time that

00:02:46.910 --> 00:02:52.959
You should just brush off hate comments and never pay attention to them in retrospect and looking back. I'm really glad.

00:02:52.959 --> 00:02:54.969
I listened to hate comments.

00:02:54.970 --> 00:02:58.029
I'm really glad I I was able to pick out at least.

00:02:58.190 --> 00:03:02.379
What I thought I could improve on and I think if I didn't do that.

00:03:02.379 --> 00:03:07.779
I probably wouldn't even keep making videos at this point because I would either number one.

00:03:08.209 --> 00:03:13.149
Let all the hate actually build up and get to me or number two I would have justed stay the same.

00:03:13.150 --> 00:03:18.250
I would have done the same super squeaky content as I've always done and no one would care to watch that for

00:03:18.470 --> 00:03:20.709
for that long at least so I

00:03:21.049 --> 00:03:25.959
Feel pretty sure that that wouldn't be the case and I also think that it made me want to improve

00:03:25.959 --> 00:03:31.149
I think opening up in a way it made me improve on things that I never thought I would improve on it made me

00:03:31.519 --> 00:03:37.119
Learn things that I never thought I would learn. Thanks to hate comments, so I sort of wanted to make this video to

00:03:37.819 --> 00:03:40.689
Open up that idea into people's mind that maybe

00:03:41.510 --> 00:03:43.510
It's not all that bad

00:03:43.519 --> 00:03:50.439
I'm not ignoring the fact that some are just straight up garbage comments that you should 100% ignore. I'm just saying that

00:03:51.019 --> 00:03:56.138
If you are honest with yourself, and you are honest with your ideas

00:03:56.139 --> 00:03:59.889
Then you have the at least the ability to tell that apart because if you're honest with yourself

00:04:00.349 --> 00:04:05.319
Complete as well as you can at least then if someone calls you out on something or some type of behavior

00:04:05.329 --> 00:04:12.608
Then you can look at yourself more critically instead of immediately going into defense mode, or there's nothing wrong with me mode

00:04:12.769 --> 00:04:14.769
there's something wrong with you and

00:04:15.109 --> 00:04:18.369
For an example. I don't mean to keep dragging on the Logan Paul thing

00:04:18.370 --> 00:04:21.909
But I think it's a it's an interesting one because his first response

00:04:22.099 --> 00:04:29.899
just that it was very different from his video that he made and I think you can tell just like I did a

00:04:30.150 --> 00:04:33.799
Few years ago he went through the same mind thing mindset of

00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:39.378
Wanting to defend yourself versus maybe I'm not that great well

00:04:39.539 --> 00:04:44.509
We saw how long that lasted, but still if you really think about it hate comments can be?

00:04:45.210 --> 00:04:47.210
free unbiased

00:04:47.490 --> 00:04:48.810
criticism that you receive

00:04:48.810 --> 00:04:50.099
anonymously which you

00:04:50.099 --> 00:04:56.628
Won't get from even your closest friends most likely at least and I think a lot of times when you see celebrities are online.

00:04:57.060 --> 00:05:04.219
Personalities, surrounded by big groups. That's when they usually have a big ego problem because there's no one there to call them out on their.

00:05:05.460 --> 00:05:09.560
Behaviour, I think a lot of times hate comments can be a really useful tool

00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:16.639
It just comes in a very very ugly shape. I'm not ignoring that. Obviously it's important to have confidence and self-esteem.

00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.938
I'm not saying you shouldn't have that, but I think.

00:05:21.539 --> 00:05:23.929
Deciphering or listening to hate comments.

00:05:23.930 --> 00:05:28.669
have honestly given me that because I can honestly and confidently tell them apart

00:05:29.060 --> 00:05:34.909
I can tell apart if someone's being an idiot or if there's actually something valuable in there, and this is sort of the point

00:05:34.909 --> 00:05:35.870
I'm trying to make here

00:05:35.870 --> 00:05:40.579
Is that a lot of times you might get a really bad comment that might make you feel really really uncomfortable

00:05:40.580 --> 00:05:46.189
And they might contain X Y & Z but then maybe let's say Z is really valuable

00:05:47.099 --> 00:05:53.838
Constructive criticism, I don't like being criticized. I can just brush this off completely because x & y was makes this a hate comment

00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:58.759
Does this make any sense at all you're sort of using their own weapon against them anyway?

00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:05.088
Maybe I'm trying to do a more positive spin on this then there is, but this is just from my experience

00:06:05.089 --> 00:06:09.169
I'm sure not everyone is like this taking criticism is very uncomfortable

00:06:09.210 --> 00:06:14.629
But I think it's important to at least open yourself up just for a second of that feeling of being uncomfortable

00:06:14.789 --> 00:06:20.419
And sort of just play with that thought instead of just completely throwing it away, because I think that can lead to really

00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.000
dangerous behaviour and which

00:06:23.129 --> 00:06:26.269
I'll get into in a second and don't get me wrong. It's hard

00:06:26.270 --> 00:06:32.870
It's really hard to take hate comments, and I think I I sort of categorize them in in four different

00:06:33.569 --> 00:06:39.648
Shapes number one is to straight-up dumb hate comments that are just trying to make you feel bad

00:06:39.649 --> 00:06:45.649
And there's nothing else in there just ignore those number two. It's the ones that are ignorant and hateful

00:06:46.529 --> 00:06:47.579
maybe

00:06:47.579 --> 00:06:54.439
They base some sort of judgment on you, and they don't know something that you know just ignore that as well there

00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.409
There's nothing valuable there obviously as well number three

00:06:57.409 --> 00:07:01.308
I noticed some comments disguise themselve as constructive criticism

00:07:01.309 --> 00:07:05.029
But really it's just a vicious attempt to seem like they're not trying to cause you harm

00:07:05.029 --> 00:07:10.368
But they are in fact trying to do that just go ahead and ignore those as well and number four which is

00:07:10.469 --> 00:07:14.419
Hate comments trying to drag you down, but actually contain valuable criticism

00:07:14.419 --> 00:07:19.488
That's the one that I think it is least worth to consider and even then you have to be very critical of it

00:07:19.709 --> 00:07:21.709
Listen I never said it was easy

00:07:22.110 --> 00:07:28.369
Because obviously you're not supposed to just conform to what anyone else wants you to be you're not just supposed to listen

00:07:28.369 --> 00:07:32.238
Oh, oh, I did that wrong. Maybe I should do this you sort of have to figure that out yourself

00:07:32.339 --> 00:07:35.268
I think if I just listened to all the criticism

00:07:35.269 --> 00:07:39.349
I got by the media and to be fair a lot of it has been valid criticism

00:07:39.349 --> 00:07:44.299
And that's why I realized when I have to confess to it. I as opposed if I listen to all of it

00:07:44.300 --> 00:07:49.429
I would literally just be another celebrity with no opinion and thoughts on my own that went outside the

00:07:50.159 --> 00:07:53.569
The mainstream media narrative at least it wouldn't have been honest

00:07:53.569 --> 00:07:58.549
It wouldn't have been honest to who how I think and Who I am so the key point here is really honesty

00:07:58.550 --> 00:08:02.029
And I'm not saying drive yourself mad by listening to hate comments all the time

00:08:02.029 --> 00:08:05.088
That's not it at all, but this is just something you sort of have to learn

00:08:05.699 --> 00:08:07.969
If you want to be an internet

00:08:08.489 --> 00:08:12.499
Personality, or I don't know in general they might be worth it

00:08:12.529 --> 00:08:14.659
I don't know. It's really great trying to prove a point by saying

00:08:14.659 --> 00:08:17.539
I don't know by opening up yourself to the idea that

00:08:17.939 --> 00:08:22.338
Maybe I'm not that great you sort of open up your self to improve

00:08:22.339 --> 00:08:27.678
And if you don't do that and if you completely just throw it away, then like I said you run into

00:08:28.259 --> 00:08:31.188
Probably a lot of issues along the line

00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:34.638
You're not just cheating how you look at yourself

00:08:34.680 --> 00:08:41.689
But you also have to start cheating how the whole world is different because you have to defend your ego for example

00:08:41.699 --> 00:08:47.269
this is why Amy Schumer thinks that the reason because her TV show did poorly is because of

00:08:47.790 --> 00:08:49.199
far

00:08:49.199 --> 00:08:50.790
right-wing

00:08:50.790 --> 00:08:54.949
Politics and not because maybe it wasn't that great

00:08:55.800 --> 00:09:02.240
imagine having to tell yourself that instead of just questioning yourself alright, maybe my movie wasn't that great and

00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:06.739
Maybe there's some valid criticism here that I can improve for my next movie

00:09:06.740 --> 00:09:11.539
Oh look at that, then her next movies doing super bad as well think about it

00:09:11.540 --> 00:09:15.709
This way you cannot become great if you already know that you are

00:09:16.620 --> 00:09:21.469
and if you don't want to do any of this that's fine most likely you probably will never have to even but I think it's

00:09:21.470 --> 00:09:28.339
A valuable lesson for a lot of YouTube personalities or internet celebrities in general I see a lot of my even favorite creators

00:09:28.740 --> 00:09:32.990
Really struggled with this and like I said, I think since I went through it

00:09:32.990 --> 00:09:38.269
I could tell what other people are and it's just a shame, and I'm not saying I'm completely without an ego either

00:09:38.269 --> 00:09:40.729
I think everyone needs some sort of level of it at least

00:09:40.980 --> 00:09:45.949
But I think that the fact that we have adopted this idea that all hate comments are just

00:09:46.110 --> 00:09:51.439
Inherently bad is actually really harmful, and I think that's what creates really insane people

00:09:52.620 --> 00:09:55.309
Deep down we all know that we're not that great

00:09:56.160 --> 00:09:59.779
Whether we want to admit that or not and unless you accept that

00:10:00.449 --> 00:10:06.679
You will absolutely lower your chance of ever becoming something more than what you already are

00:10:06.740 --> 00:10:09.840
PS, you suck. Thank you for listening

00:10:10.020 --> 00:10:10.520
I, uh.

00:10:10.520 --> 00:10:13.680
Don't know if this was helpful at all, but it's just some thoughts I wanted to share
