Oh, the internet... 😅 (Patreon)

I wrote a post on my YouTube Community tab saying reactors create reaction videos cuz we love it, since none of our videos are monetized. But I wanted to express gratitude for the people who show support through Patreon or tips; it isn't gonna put my kid through college or anything, but I just appreciate the acknowledgment & people valuing my work. I was feeling very sentimental and just wanted to gush a little bit (text version of Krying W/ Khadija haha).

At the bottom, in parentheses, I said, "I don't really promote this here but if you ever wanted to send a tip, you can do that on my Ko-fi page."

And someone took the time to write this -

Lmaoooooooo. Listen, friends. I sincerely hope none of you ever waste your time being mean or hateful on the internet. Life is too short, the world is too fucked up, and I'm sure you all have too many lovely qualities to spend your precious time trying to hurt strangers online.

But this is very much why I usually don't ever outright just say "Hey support my channel" on YouTube. People haaaaaaaate the idea of YouTubers asking viewers to support them; they think everything on the internet should be free and it's rude to want to be compensated.

So I will say it again here: I REALLY am so grateful to everyone who shows support!! Not just donations, but watching, joining my communities here, on Twitch, on Discord, commenting, liking, sharing, etc. The vast majority of the people who watch YouTube videos actually don't care about the creators behind the content at all, so y'all really are the very appreciated minority. Thank you!!!! 💚
