thank you for referring to my skin and face and "THE skin and face" its nice the way you said it but imagine someone saying that like "hey can I tell you something? the skin looks amazing.." I guess it could still be nice. but imagine its like a random guy at the grocery store and hes kinda sweaty. actually I think I just described myself. never mind I just had some chips
that was cringe sorry I have to be honest. like we get it youre random
I love you drew
@@drewmonson2 “I love you drew” -drew monson #2, 2 minutes ago
@@drewmonson2 humans are so weird. you're funny because you can be random and think out of the box. being funny is a spectrum, and out of all of the times you try to be funny some will be the best, some will be the worst, and at the end of the day you are considered funny because you try to be funny and your jokes land more times than they don't. if it's a spectrum, then it is inevitable that sometimes you'll bomb. but humans will not accept this, even though there's no way around it. the only way is to not even try to be funny. but since you're trying, you will fail eventually. not accepting that and being upset with yourself for failing is just... illogical. human brain is extremely illogical. that's why we suffer.
“I don’t think I hate myself anymore but I have a very hard time with him.” Wow that is exactly where I’m at with my self-image and hearing it put into words like this is validating in a way
YES OMG SAME like I'm over self loathing but there's still some days where I'm not really enjoying my presence
The “hold” music while you wait for a person on the suicide hotline is like funky jazz. I immediately was like “um. This is ridiculous, I’m being ridiculous. I’m good…”
One time I called a suicide hotline and they put me on hold for two hours and then said they were really busy so that if I wasn't actively dying I should call back later lmao.
@@charlixxxx i’ve heard so many stories of ppl being brushed off by hotlines that it sounds like an intentional feature at this point. which seems to be working, because most if not all of those stories mention a moment of thinking “what am i doing here? this is ridiculous” and they don’t go through with it. jazz hold music, “too busy for you”, and dismissive, insensitive operators.. that stuff’s weird/ distasteful/ IRONIC enough to make people actually pause to think. it seems intentional. i guess it’s harder to convince someone of something, than it is to set them up for naturally recognizing it themself. idk interesting
@@rileys.4169 lol nah they are just not professionals and most people doing it probably get burned out. all i can say is my experience within the "helping people" system has been a farce, often a cruel joke at only my expense, incredibly demotivating, and convincing me of the existence of a simulation ran by evil scientists. unfortunately the institutions we uphold the best are the ones related to millionaires & billionaires & not the people who earn them their money.
@@rileys.4169 i need a video essay on this topic ASAP
@@rileys.4169the reason you hear about those is because they’re funny anecdotes. You’re not going to hear so often about “I called a suicide hotline and it helped” or (of course) “I called a suicide hotline and went through with it anyway”…
Drew looks amazing in a hat like he wears it so casually
Thanks but I’m actually wearing it quite formally
@@drewmonson2 agreed
The audacity to not warn us first
Well it is a rather casual ball cap so
Drew actually wore a hat like that to my wedding.
By title: YT isn’t dead. I promise. At least for me. I’m always on here, more than ever rn. No matter what I’m doing, whether for videos or music lol.
Love you, Drew. ✨✨✨
RUclips SUCKED ever since the apocalypse.Too much censorship.
The only good thing about YT is that people were free to express themselves without being silenced by commercial or political influences.
Literally every task that isn't super mentally focused I have RUclips on the background lol
I'm always on here lol
I feel the same! I literally go on RUclips almost all the time. I just prefer the experience of watching longer stuff and lots of shorter stuff tends to stress me out. it is more relaxing for me to disconnected and tune into something or at least try to, then the interactive experience of like, "next video, next video, check comments, send to friend, next video, next video" I like old fashioned couch potato shit
@@drewmonson2 I’m the exact same way! My mind plays like tiktok videos with worries and anxieties alone, so focusing on *one thing* for an extended period of time, like your videos, really tends to help getting my mind off my everyday life. Only if it’s interesting to me though, or I find myself paying attention to everything else. Which I genuinely appreciate videos from you, because they hold my attention and as everyone else says, it feels like talking to a friend and it holds my attention.
i believe youtube will never die because it has become so essential to the internet experience but i do agree with what you said about "The RUclipsr" no longer being a whole thing anymore. nowadays i feel like youtube is best for these kind of lowkey long videos you can listen to on the background when the flashiness of tiktok gets too much. that's part of the reason i think analysis video essays have become so popular.
My dad used to make a living doing singing telegrams/kids parties and he would ALWAYS get asked by the guests or people who hired him “how do you make a living at this?” or get comments like “must be nice to make a money by just just being a clown all day”. So I totally get what you mean how people tend to ask more vulnerable questions about money when you’re an entertainer vs working a “normal” job
that’s upsetting because entertainers are important and deserve better
if they really believed it was a profitable idea, and easy, they wouldve been doing it themselves. plus here they are hiring someone to entertain, and being a client to the entertainment, and harassing the worker with rude inquiries into their bank account... thats some "the kings royal jester" type shit. ALSO funny that i was a bell ringer for salvation army at the holidays years ago & i had multiple people telling me i was either doing it wrong/didnt look happy enough or making comments about how "it must be nice" to make money that way LMAO WHAT who gets paid to do that.... the shit i do for free in this world, man.
I watched this video while feeding my baby; she would not look away from the screen when you started singing! It's adorable omg.
That’s crazy because my baby does the opposite. Tell your baby I said “baby shark do do do do do do”
19:29 my point is that ain’t hiding phenix only Christopher’s head on dans wedding day is enough I’m sorry

@@WhyiseverythingtakennnnJUNGKOOK JUNGKOOK, OMG YOU LIKE DREW AND JUNGKOOK, BE MY BEST FRIEND
i think people that say everyones “going to tiktok” or said “going to vine” forget that u can do more than one thing like watching a tik tok is a totally different experience that watching a youtube video
also some ppl that get famous on tik tok unfortunately .. dont have a likeable enough personality that people would wanna listen to them talk to a 30 minute youtube video. even 10. but you? tik tok couldnt handle u. the people need 40+ minutes of drew you’re too good
right!! now TikTok is adding a 10 minute feature. that app is slowly starting to die, and by the time this pandemic is over, it might not be as relevant
I think the idea that the “RUclipsr” dying is an interesting point. Most people in my life (including myself) send at LEAST an hour or so on RUclips daily. The app is doing just fine! I think the wave of 2010s era RUclipsr who got big off making funny faces and on some scale racist jokes is finally dying off because the newer generation can’t relate or see the humour in it, which is why you don’t hear from people like lele pons anymore (random example). Though it won’t happen, it’s nice to see RUclips almost returning to its roots where it was just people with cameras and a small idea deciding to talk, and not a whole production crew. Sure you still get it a lot, but this platform was about being able to create and express yourself regardless of who you were, and in seeing it a lot more recently
I dont think youtube is returning to its roots at all. Its more sterile and corporate than ever. Content farms, obnoxious thumbnails, people have learned the formula and just play the algorithm. These kinds of videos are extremely rare on yt now. Maybe your account is stuck in a specific section of yt where you dont see it. Which is also another thing they ruined, youll never discover anything new anymore unlese you actively search for it, even the search engine wants to keep you in a bubble.
@@theyfukenwmesubliminally I can see your point and don’t get me wrong, I KNOW how corporate it is, I’m not trapped in a consumerism bubble. Im only saying this BECAUSE I find new channels and videos everryday, in various communities where anyone has a chance to get noticed. Of course there are still your big RUclips’s but I’m referring to the fact that you can go into a niche interest on RUclips and still find people who are getting noticed without having to rely on previous fame. A few years back, people would only be focusing on people involved in the “drama community” (not mentioning names but I’m sure you know who I’m referring to) where now I feel people don’t care as much about what’s going on with these people and just want to enjoy content.
I totally agree, there was definitely a rise sometime between 2014-2016 where videos were very flashy, big, loud, everyone collabed with everyone, and there were all sorts of things like Drew mentioned book deals, tours etc.. I hadn't really thought that the platform was possibly going back to its roots of just people making videos and expressing themselves but I'm definitely seeing it more and more, although in a new style. Creators like Valspire Family, heyxnatalie, Ryan Ng and Wholesome Simon are starting a new wave for sure. They're incredibly talented and artistic in their editing and filming but they're still authentic in the way that RUclips was back in 2009 and before, sharing real moments and just sort of growing up and figuring it all out. I'm really excited for what's to come on RUclips, I hope this is the start of a new era where we can be more open with each other while still weaving creativity into it.
@@perpickupa yeah, in that aspect i guess so, the "beauty channel tea channel" thing is less popular, altough it is still very much alive. I guess im the one stuck on the shitty side of yt right now. Because its really hard for me to come across new and upcoming interesting channels that arent doing the whole "youtube grind" uninspired shitty content.
@@theyfukenwmesubliminally I have the same content. I watch probably 2 hours of RUclips a day sometimes more, sometimes less and I don't have a single channel that I look forward to uploads. Like I watch random soulless videos but there's not connection like there used to be. I think everyone's on TikTok now which just gives me a headache. I do mis old RUclips. I know everyone says it's good it's dead because there was nods to racism and sexism and whatever but most the time it wasn't. Shane Dawson is the only one I can remember being huge and getting away with stuff like that. Everyone else just got old tweets pulled and unresolved sa allegations. Idk, I might just be being a boomer but everything feels lifeless now
"Why is [the universe] there for me and not them?" is a question that weighs on my mind every minute of every day. Happy someone understands.
Me too honestly. How can I manifest a fancy job but some poor child is being trafficked. Sorry that’s extreme
@@il3077 Agree with this! And it has always bothered me, especially with the rise in the idea of *manifesting* things nowadays. People keep finding new ways to attribute everything that happens to them to what they do or think. But it seems that it's mainly when something good happens to them, they manifested it. But I don't think people equally put that accountability on themselves when bad things happen, but they do to other people. Maybe there's something to it that I don't know know/understand, but it just seems like a whole double-standard-y mess to me.
@@imzabatch 100%, diva. People will go to wild lengths to rationalise anything. They can’t handle not having an explanation or reason which is fair enough.
@@il3077 Yeah, I know I have a hard time with the idea of things good or bad happening for no good/cosmic reason, so I get why people try to believe things like this. But I do think it can be harmful when it goes attributing everything that happens to someone (especially bad things) as solely their own doing or "for a reason".
@@imzabatch we’re animals that went too far 😭
"He wrote stitches and your surprised?!?" 😂 God I love Drew's humor
its definitely not illegal/you wont get in trouble for talking about how much you make on RUclips! Just a rumor. Love ya drew
In the contract you sign with RUclips, it specifically says you can't tell anyone "exactly" how much money you make. I have seen a bunch of RUclipsrs do it though, where they show the exact amounts and all their analytics. Some people just say the average amount they make (kind of a loophole because you aren't saying the "exact" amount.) It's not illegal ofc, but it can get jeopardize your channel if you break the contract's terms, or RUclips's rules, etc.
Drew's streams of consciousness are wonderfully chaotic and I appreciate them
youtube is farrrr from dead,, at least for me,, i come on here every day to watch videos and knit
"i dont hate myself, but i have a very hard time with him" wow... just put my whole life into words
Yes. I am absolutely tired of everything having to be a collective experience. Nothing is individual anymore, everything is done as a group
its funny because when i watch drew i put it on my tv turn my phone off and give my full attention to the video meanwhile hes like “i bet your watching tik toks rn” no drew i am watching you
drew is so on my wavelength abt everything i love ur thoughts and opinions
i honestly dont think youtube is dead at all, youtube is the site i use most of all - i cant imagine my life without it which is scary lmfao. ive been watching you since 2015 im pretty sure. things are scary right now but your videos always make me laugh because you make me realise im my own best friend. sorry if that sounds weird
I love that though!! that is honestly the best thing I can make anyone realize. like for real I think my journey with being creative is that even though its always gonna be a lot of vanity I have found a lot of power in my strengthening my relationship with myself and I feel compelled to try and maybe inspire people to do the same. but not like from a like "I fixed myself and now im perfect" kind of way liek a self help book but more like I was so fucked up and now im a little less! thanks
@@drewmonson2 I love the way your brain works!
same
I have scoliosis, and Drew saying the word scoliosis made me feel seen somehow. Thank you Drew
i cannot explain how hard I laugh when you continuously cut urself off when u get side tracked you are so funny and I loved hearing u talk about shrek never stop drew
Everyone on RUclips is going to tiktok but at the same time all the people on tiktok are trying to go to RUclips because it’s unsustainable over there
Between this and Grace Helbig's podcast hiatus announcement today, I'm feeling so nostalgic! It's so strange that RUclips has been around long enough that people are now talking about it's history and it's like "back in the olden days in 2014"... It feels like yesterday but also a distant memory...but I'm glad RUclips is here to stay
It makes me feel freaking ancient at only 27 years old when people refer to old youtube as the 2014-2016 era. I've been watching it pretty much since it's inception in 2006/2007 when I was 12/13 so when I think of old youtube I think of like lizards with cups and amv's of kingdom hearts made with windows maker 😅
so the whole mindset of deserving bad things can definitely be problematic because when I was in a bad relationship I thought I deserved that. which just wasn’t true so be careful going down that path.
1:50 ok so I'm getting my masters in social work rn and I still hear weird shit all the time about it! People frequently tell me how little I'm going to get paid (which like, true, but I don't need you to tell me that??) and how depressing the job is. I saw a new doctor recently and she literally said "all the social workers I know hate their lives" when I told her what I was going to school for lmaooo. Anyway, love your videos Drew!!
same!!!! i’m not in school rn but that’s what i wanted to go to school for but didn’t because so many people got in my head about how bad it would be. those people are lame as hell and social workers are cool
also getting my masters in social work right now! i absolutely loved the work i did with my bachelors and looking forward to the options we will have with our masters.
Ppl don’t understand the variety social workers have. Social workers can do therapy and make $100-$200 an hour just like psychologists can. You don’t have to do straight social work, there’s so many options!!
Drew, I may not be the guy with the "My Brother Ate My Homework" shirt, but I am wearing a charming shirt of a possum drinking beer, and I started cry-laughing at your self-aware story tangent diatribe. I do the same thing. Just completely hyperaware of my habits and doing them anyway. I just thought that was a funny moment and wanted to tell you.
omg I totally forgot I even said that thank you
I’ve never made it to Sunday and said “that all made sense” hit me in the face hard 😂😂
I love you drew. Thank you for replying to my Facebook message back in 2008. You made me feel seen, at the most vulnerable time in my high school years.
youtube’s not dead for me, I feel like it’s not as popular for the general public but it has some loyal people who still watch it on the regular. honestly I don’t see it ever dying as it’s such a simple concept which you can upload basically anything. tiktok may be more popular but the time constraints and lack of proper search engine seem to prevent it from being the same as youtube.
I love hearing your analysis of internet culture and stuff 😅 I could watch you analyze different types of popcorns honestly lol! Watching you speak your mind so freely has truly been SO inspiring! I try to carry that inspiration with me into conversations I have in real life, and it’s been working out here and there so, thank you, Drew!
Also, I’m sorry you’re allergic to your cat :(
Less people being on RUclips makes it feel like the RUclips I loved from my childhood where it feels intimate and genuine and unselfconscious -- personally I think it still is very much a place where people go if they have any kind of niche interest. Maybe there are less RUclipsrs with mainstream appeal, but there are so SO many thriving subcultures I absolutely treasure (lost media videos, ancient history videos, philosophy, historical fashion/fashion analysis, video essayists, media analysis, visual art, social commentary, "deep dives" into news stories and phenomenon, video podcasts, etc) and I think the building of loyal communities ensures some degree of longevity even if it isn't at its peak engagement. RUclips has been my main source of entertainment for 10 years and it continues to be.
I really relate to this. I’m a new tattooer and I’ve been struggling with the whole art vs. content thing. Feeling like I need to get a big following on Instagram in order to get clients and make a living. But it feels gross to focus so much time on growing my following and numbers rather than spending time making art which is what I actually want to spend my time doing. I debated getting on TikTok to promote my work and sell art but I’ve decided against it because it doesn’t feel worth it. Feels like selling my soul for a little clout lol trying to just stay humble, make art that I love and am proud of and whoever sees it, sees it.
youtube is literally not dead, everyone and their grandma uses youtube... my roommate overheard you say "is youtube dying? he's only 16!" and asked me to rewind the video and show them because they thought it was so funny. very funny and clever stuff in this video, on god.
i absolutely agree that there is some merit to algorithms, but i also don't like being pigeon holed or whatever because theres a lot of stuff recommended to me where im like, i get it guy, i watched one episode of cat from hell or one season of cat from hell and now its all over my front page, its all over my lawn. i also like to throw my algorithm off for fun heh.
i love physical media and have a cd, dvd, record, and vhs collection heavily furnished from thrift stores and knowing the folks who know good media. i still listen to so many bands that friends have recommended to me. i watched a video of yours a while ago i think maybe 7 years ago where you had a guster shirt on and i listened to a lot of their music and discovered one of my favorite bands through you that way!
i do not fuck with the way that finding movies and streaming music online has become easier and harder and weirder at the same time, and the amount of paywalls that have been steadily increasing. i also feel bad that using the internet and electronics for prolonged periods by billions of users is bad for the planet. but i love consuming content :( i've spent so much, i'd wager most of my life outside of school/work listening to music or watching movies or youtube videos.
usually after i have a really good day i have absolutely no energy or feel gut wrenching despair the next day??? so saturday was great, sunday i didnt exist, and today was an alright day :) i stayed positive and took care of myself. work went well. i had an asthma attack. i made a really good meal. (i freestyled a creamy marinara w/ red wine and pasta, i like to have pasta or lasagna on mondays bc it's garfields least favorite day of the week but his favorite meal) it all balances out yanno.
im delirious w joy that you sang my name :) $30 patreon pledge is more than worth the years of content thats provided laughter, joy, company, and food for thought. i hope you have a wonderful week see u soon drew!!
I’m over here letting out those deep laughs from your stomach, u sir are hilarious & I hope we still have you on RUclips for a long time
drew thank you so much for posting you just saved my entire day and gave me a reason to procrastinate this dreadful schoolwork that i'm terrified to start :D
Just do it!!! Work on it for like 30 minutes to one hour and then come back to Drew!! His video will still be on ‘dying’ RUclips when you’re done
@@mitersangeeta2576 tbh dont do it school sucks. sorry im a bad influence but like why.
@@drewmonson2 ty drew i will drop out of school bc of this comment!!
@@drewmonson2 DREW THANK YOU FOR MORE OF AN EXCUSE TO PROCRASTINATE LOVE YOU BESTIE also sorry miter sangeeta i appreciate the kind words of encouragement though
Can I just say I’m so happy you got to a place where you can say that you don’t hate yourself anymore. Im so proud of you. We love you drew. We see your growth❤️❤️
one of my favorite childhood memories was getting the day off school to go to the dentist and then afterward going to see shrek the third. my sister, my dad and i were the only three people in the theater for this showing of shrek the third so my sister and i went buck wild. we were loud as hell and changing seats during the movie and i felt like god for an hour or so.
drew, you have no idea how happy i am whenever i see you uploaded a new video, omg, it's like i'm no longer mentally ill, thank you
You're the most relatable person on RUclips. Oh and also today I realized your old channel still exists and you've got tons of music there! Dude, you need to promote your music more. Loved your version of Sunday Morning.
drew i just downloaded quilt and immediately fell in love with it.
i joined a tarot group and got a reading from this amazing woman and i feel like it’s going to be so nice to have on days where i feel lonely or just need something to listen to :)
Fuuuck I struggle so much with the concept of manifesting. No attempt has ever worked for me and all the negative things I obsess about (technically manifesting, surely?) don't come to anything. My experience has been that if I worry enough about something I make it NOT happen, that's basically inverted manifestation. Almost the opposite. How the hell I'd reroute that into creating positive outcomes is WAY above my pay grade. If anyone can help me with this I'd be genuinely grateful.
Have you tried pretending that bad things that happen to you are good and then tricking them into not happening that way?
I completely get what you're saying when you talk abt that feeling of wanting to be kept in the loop w current trends, tv shows etc. for me it's weird I hate being involved in something when it's popular, I'm not purposely forcing myself to not watch something or whatever to not seem "mainstream". I think that's dumb honestly, I just get so overwhelmed by all the opinions and analysis that it becomes more than just casually being interested in something. I feel like I have to have a certain opinion abt a character or trend that I can't just consume something to switch off my brain for a while. it's not something I consciously do, like avoid what's popular but I realised I kinda prefer it. when squid games came out I watched it and I just felt annoyed that I couldn't just enjoy it for what it is without constant input from all over the Internet, like it was unavoidable.
I'm not sure where I'm going with this but I remember I downloaded tikok to feel in the loop and quickly realised I hated it and felt overwhelmed. All the opinions, intense short form videos that told me the worst things happening I'm the world. then scrolling to see someone doing a makeup trend then back to a video abt misogyny or transphobia.
Since covid I've been consuming more of the internet and I got into so many platforms i never bothered with. I was stressed out all the time, consumed by every bad thing happening all over the world all the time. it took me a while but I left most of them. for me youtube is more relaxing, I can choose what I see and I know who I like and who to avoid. I don't feel the need to be a part of everything all the time. I watch things that make me happy and I notice how quickly those trends end and how quickly ppl forget abt them. I realised how forcing myself to be involved in something that is constantly changing, to fit some weird image of being involved and informed was rly just damaging my mental health
I struggled with this question a lot and I still am, I feel like many or most of the creators that RUclips started out with have moved onto something else and it makes us feel like its dying, but there are a lot that are still hanging around (like you, that makes me insanely happy) and a lot that are new and make great content. It's just a new page, and it's gonna be hard for it to do justice to the golden years but its making a sort of comeback
i love your videos thank you for existing and posting these videos in the format you do, you are such a comfort youtuber : )
i watch you sing the patron names even though i’m not on there but it’s so comforting for some reason
I like your flow of consciousness, I like the connections and references you make
always look forward to these videos, its therapeutic to hear someone else saying very similar thoughts and feelings. keep going drew we love you!
It’s so rude to ask someone how much they make, and it’s effed up that there’s a double standard that people feel they can ask youtubers such a personal question.
Whats up it’s drew it’s 1:18 am I can’t sleep and I’m commenting on my own damn vlog
Hey drew I took some notes because I wanted to day stuff about more than one thing.
I think you should tell us how much you make if you want to! You shouldn't be worried and it's illegal in the US for companies to disallow wage talk.
Your ad read was really good and natural. I liked it a lot more than the really scripted ones that are popular right now
I'm really happy you told the Shrek story actually and I was interested as soon as you mentioned it. I personally think that a giant Shrek made of Shreks sound scarier than the Ralph made of Ralph's but if the giants met I think they would kiss
i like watching him when i eat pasta so i wish he posted more often because i eat a lot of pasta very often
4:48 idk why this made me laugh so hard 😂
One of the reasons I'm grateful for Drew's videos is cause I can brush my teeth for like 4 minutes while watching him without it feeling like a chore
Drew, I actually agree with you about the comments on tiktok. There's actually a lot of amazing content on tiktok, but the comments are such garbage I never go on there anymore. Why are people so cruel sometimes?
RUclips is NOT dead. I think a lot of the RUclipsrs (ew) we used to watch are just older now. I've been watching you since 9th grade and I am 23 now. A lot of the people I used to watch are still on RUclips but their content has changed in some way, as you can imagine. So yeah, they're not getting the views they used to get but like... who does??? The viewership has changed
the craziest thing about this video is that i can hear so vividly drew saying the title with so much emotion
watching these videos makes me feel like im on facetime with a friend who wont let me get a word in
RUclips is like SNL its just in a bad season lol
I don’t think it’s dead and TikTok couldn’t truly ever replace RUclips, they are entirely different type of platforms. And if it does… man that’s depressing. I like TikTok but imagine only having 1 minute long videos!
I love how many times you attempt to end the video honestly did not want it to end
This is the first time I’ve ever actually downloaded and used a sponsored app/actually listened to the ad-idk if it’s bc I’ve watched you and loved your videos/personality for so long or what, but it genuinely was interesting to hear what you liked about the app and I didn’t feel like you were trying to sell me something bc it felt very natural and sincere! Loved that :-)
whoever is watching this video wearing a “my brother ate my homework” shirt must feel so powerful rn
"I don't want to get graphic but I was laying in bed with my shirt ON" I love drew he makes me feel less alone. Wish we were best friends 😂💚💚
this is the most relatable video i have ever watched , you said what i could not articulate - and now i’m processing
RUclips came back to life the month you started posting regularly again. You did it, Drew!
Drew, I had been subscribed to your other channel for god knows how long and when you took that break I would constantly check to see if you had decided to come back, the fact that you now also have this channel brings me so much joy, I can only think of like maybe another 2 people on this website who I actively seek out and sit around for an hour or two every other day just to feel, like, yeah we're hanging out lol.
I really appreciate this channel, specially because I relate to a lot of it and it makes me feel less lonely, like, I know plenty of people irl may share these opinions (or not) but they'll seldom sit down and talk about it with me for an hour, which I guess I understand, but it always feels like everyone has another 26 topics to cover with other people and in other platforms. Anyway, yeah, I value how openly you talk about stuff, also I crack up the whole time.
Oh and RUclips isn't dying, I don't think. Idk, I only go on tiktok maybe once a month now and it pisses me off more than it evokes any other emotion from me every time, meanwhile I come here daily, I enjoy long format ~content a lot more.
your singing at the end of each video is so beautiful!!!!!
this video made me realize how much i think about the engagement and if it's someone i support like Drew i always think of it in a supportive way, like "I'll like the video" because even if it's a little its a genuine little show of my appreciation.
I’m literally so excited to watch this video. I just got off of work and I was re-watching all of your other videos on this channel. I really like it when you sit down and have these heart to hearts with us. It honestly just feels like you’re my friend and we’re having a good time. I almost find myself talking to you when you’re saying things that I literally relate to and I’ll be like literally same all my God I thought I was the only one. Anyways I’m sorry for going on a tangent I love you so freaking much goodbye
drew! i love you. i just got done crying because i slept through my class and i feel bad about it. i just wanted to tell someone about that
Hope you feel better soon :)
That can't be easy. One day, you will forget it happened/forgive yourself, though, Hannah.
I’ve been going through a lot in my life the last few months and these videos get me through the day. Thanks Drew. ❤
hi drew thank u for posting i always smile when i see your face and a silly thumbnail caption. ive been having an absolute existential crisis so watching your videos really helps me feel like im not alone and that there are other ppl out there that GET the weird stuff i think.
"friends, you don't need to tell me you're not watching my videos" GOD I feel this LOL I'm making stuff and hoping the people who will like it will find them- but it does grind on me when my friends go out of their way to tell me they don't watch my stuff lmao. like, I know!! it's ok! but I don't know what to do with that! LOL
Drew gives kind RUclipsr vibes. I feel Jenna marbles spirit here, I feel like she blessed this video.
Omg Drew that lil ponytail is so flattering and adorable. Pop off king 👑
The money/chart thing in stan culture is SO weird honestly. I always see the “this person sold more, therefore they’re better” argument.
i just turned 16, i am scare
i saw a tiktok comment that said "most posts on tiktok are just meant to make others feel bad about something they do" and its honestly so true. people really try to make themselves feel better by making fun of things they aren't
I love your voice. You're literally just singing people's names and I'm over here almost crying. Hope you're having a good week, Drew. Love you
so happy you posted today. my family went through a house fire this weekend and i almost lost of on my cats🥺 luckily we’re all okay but this video is already relieving some anxiety💖
I should be famous but RUclips hides my videos ….. I love your channel
this is the only channel I have notifs on for
your videos just talking are so entertaining, helps me focus on cleaning or little tasks too !! lol (lots of love)
The rumor that you can’t say how much you make from youtube on youtube is definitely a lie, I’ve seen plenty of youtubers say it and nothing happened. I love when people in the public eye are transparent about money, it makes me appreciate them more for some reason, Maria Bamford is the specific example of this that comes to mind.
When thinking about manifestation and people who have premature deaths or incredible struggle, the only peace I have been able to make with it is the idea that we decide our life paths before we are born. I think we are all here to have different experiences and work through different challenges, so it looks different for everyone.
But really, who knows 🤷🏼♀️
i always put your videos on to sing in my room because im scared to be the only person making noise and i find your voice comforting, and a second ago i ended a song and i got scared i sounded bad and you went "oh he's actually getting into it" and thanks for that i genuinley convinced myself that you put that there for me
your Patreon names songs are always beautiful and I love them, and this video's was like extra beautiful, I really loved it
I think RUclips has been "dead" ever since they allowed mainstream celebrities like Will Smith to run the site because now you have youtubers like Mr Beast who base their entire content on money and material things. RUclips should be about authenticity and originality, not trying to be the next David Dobrik and just flashing cash.
Can I just say that you’re current era of videos is absolutely undoubtedly and by far my fucking FAVORITE of yours. Idk why, I just feel like maybe you’re more happy with these videos and it’s contagious????? Or I’m a projecting stranger??? But yeah drew, love it so much. Thanks for the videos ♥️
i genuinely answer every question, ur so conversational and funny ily king
this really cheered me up and I was having a horrible few days, hope today is good to u Drew
i love u and thank u for making me feel normal and not alone
i just want u to know that i love your videos here. i put them on while i draw or brush my teeth or scroll thru tumblr after taking my sleep meds. and its one of the highlights of my day. i parasocially love u forever
I absolutely loved the way you talked about the sponsored product from your genuine perspective. I hate ad reads and this has actually made me want to try out Quilt.
Thank you for posting these. Makes my nights a little less lonely.
