    I respect you & your channel. I agree with you most of the time. I remember one time I disagreed with you & commented that. I can't remember now what the content was. What I do remember is you were so kind with the response back to me. I appreciated that & my respect for you grew!
    Unfornately cyber bulling is part of what is happening to our society. It's a part of the many issues that are currently happening in our society. This does not make it ok by any means! What I don't understand is why utube allows this to happen to the creators on their channels. Thank you for this video & informing your viewers of what is going on. Sending love & good vibes to you & Sadie.😊💝

    Love your videos and have watched you for years. I've noticed those that attack you are mosty very immature toxic men. They hate that you're a strong woman, and if you block them, they blow a circuit. It's like how dare you, protect yourself and stop their toxicity from being on your channel. One in particular, is obsessed over the fact, that you choose to be by yourself, and are ok with it. Keep being you and doing your thing.

    That couple's video actually popped up in my feed yesterday or the day before. Unbelievable & shocking how much they've gone through. Thanks for sharing their message with your own personal experiences.
    I remember when the channel, Fathering Autism was reported to children protective services. They actually filmed the social worker coming to their house & addressed what happened in their video. I felt soooooo bad for them. They really emphasized how over worked social workers are & yet a social worker had to come to their house because of a false report.
    So sorry you've gone through so much.
    My promise to you - I will report it every time I see it & if any of those channels pop up in my feed, I'll be glad to hit "do not recommend channel" #Promise

    I was bullied in my former career. It was a gang of very nasty women who were jealous of my position in the organization. They made up shit about me and got me fired. The union wanted to get rid of the older workers so they didn’t defend me, even though they admitted it was a put up job. Suffice to say I don’t support unions anymore. I was devastated financially. I am 71 and still working. I know all about bullying and so do you Carolyn. Maybe there is something better up the road for us? I protect myself now. I don’t put up with toxic people. I believe half the population in the US is mentally disturbed. Watch your back.

They're tiny little losers who have nothing good in their lives so they aim their hatred at you because you're open, authentic and successful; things they could never be.
      . YOU are the most interesting thing about them. That's why they do it. I know it's hard, but trust me, nothing they say matters to the people who matter.

She was a Popular Singer, Guitar Player, Recording Artist in the 50's and 60's, 'The Mary Kaye Trio' This one guy responded with the most vile, disgusting comments over, over and over again, that he posted on line about my dear mother. I was traumatized for weeks. I had to get my brother involved who searched and located the address of this 'Evil Slimy Troll" and my brother had to threaten him to get him to stop. And needless to stay I had to pull the ad out of shock and fear of more vileness from someone else.

One of my favorite people on youtube committed suicide in 2021 and bullying was a huge part of that. It should be a criminal offence. There is a guy with a channel in Canada who loves to pick on you specifically and I happened to see a couple of videos. I wanted to lash out with comments, but chose not to because I knew that would add to the crazy. OMG Carolyn, my heart hurts for you. I am glad you are addressing this. Brave and neccessary.

It can be hard just being a viewer. Seriously. I usually don't even comment on videos from the creators I really like anymore because of the ridiculous 'replies' I've gotten for just thanking someone for their hard work or making a point about something. Anything. I can't tell you how many times I've replied to the reply with something like 'HOW ON EARTH did you get THAT from what I said?!' lol I am really sorry that you've had to put up with all of that crazy BS.

I am also a 55 year old single woman with a dog and I have been watching your videos for a long time. I think you are an amazing, intelligent, brave woman and I think the way you’re living your life is fabulous. I hope this one comment can go into the positive bank towards the completely unnecessary negative comments you have to endure. I truly think the only way the bullying will stop is if people have to give all of their personal information before the say one word online.

It's like a type of Bullying of words towards certain groups of people....no single person is perfect....not even yourself. Hate comes in different forms and just because one person is a bully having Mental illness doesn't mean all are like that. Yes, mean people exist and she experienced that from hateful people .

    In 1970 I was 9 years old and was being bullied by a 15 year old neighbour. One winters morning while waiting for the school bus he started verbally abusing me and others. I ran home and told my father. My father came to the bus stop grabbed the boy by his collar, and proceeded to shove snow in his face. By now the school bus had arrived and everyone on it witnessed this as well as the boys mother. My father told the boy, if you ever bully my daughter or anyone else I will come after you. That boy apologized to me and the other kids. Not only did he make friends with us he also began helping my father do yard work. One less bully teenager turning into an adult bully. If a father did that today he would be charged with assault.

They eventually show their true colors to their Flying Monkeys but it can really mess with your life in a very negative way, even cause suicides. It's no joking matter. If you see anyone cyber bullying anyone, ask all the right questions and do the right thing. Some people are just so unhappy the only thing that makes them happier is to take down everyone else.

      You both are strong Lee and Carolyn. I love to watch both of you talk about all your travels and van life etc.. I just recently became subscribed to Lees channel. I will pray for both of you. They don't like strong women. But for all of us who depend on your advice and being uplifted by you both, please don't quit!! We need positivity and beauty in our lives. These bullies are evil.

    The vanlife community on youtube lost a beautiful creator. She lost her battle with mental health and was relentlessly bullied by a dude on youtube for a year before that happened. She was battling hate from his viewers on her channel, her friends still speak about her with such love, it's so tragic. His bullying was evil and she was already battling so hard. #speakupforlee

      I knew of Lee’s struggles well. She didn’t experience depression until after her and Max started their RUclips. I think her youth worked against her in someways. Carolyn has been through a lot and has learned life’s hacks to survive and thrive.

      The internet is so lacking in regulations at a dangerous level for creators and viewers. We subject ourselves as viewers to so much misinformation and propaganda against people and organizations. It is a crime and needs to be corrected. There is so much Good on the internet it just needs some sort of regulation.
      God Bless Carolyn for having the strength and wisdom to continue sharing on her channel. Thank you Carolyn.

    I received a recommendation to watch a video which turned into a "I Hate Carolyn" tirade. He has video after video of all the ways we should hate Carolyn. I was so surprised to see that someone would care so much about an American woman rolling around the USA in a RV with a dog that he would spend so much time on this. I then realized he was making money off of the hatred. The best thing to do is not click on his videos.

    I just came across your channel about three weeks ago. So I’m playing catch-up with a lot of your videos. I appreciate you sharing your life. Find it very interesting and fulfilling. I admire your adventure and bravery. Being a 70 year old woman retired truck driver understand the challenges of the road alone., I’m shocked at how our society has become with social media. You’ve had to suffer any of this uncalled for behavior. Internet and social media is a great thing but like anything else you can take a hammer and build a house or you can hurt somebody. It just depends who has the tool in hand. May the angels great spirits follow over you, your spirit never dim. thank you Carolyn for sharing your experiences.

    There's a couple I enjoy watching on RUclips called "Squirmy and Grubs" who get all kinds of harrassment on their channel. There are always well-meaning folks who interact with the trolls and stand up for the creators, but I know it's a waste of time on their part. I have often longed to be able to counteract these bullies, and now thanks to you making this particular video, I have learned that I can do something to help!!! Thanks so much for helping me to feel powerful!!

    I'm also 55 and one thing I've noticed looking back on my life is that it doesn't matter where I worked, what level I was at, or anything else about a job - there was always that one person who was crazy obsessed with me in a very negative way. Just like you say, it's to the point of delusion. I'm not sure if this is something everyone has to deal with or not. I can't imagine the stress of having a group of them targeting you in your personal life. I hope this problem gets resolved for you.

That nugget has served as a reminder to me for so many years that there's always some jackleg that will disagree, spout insults, and try to take advantage of well meaning people in every way possible. Filthy people with filthy thoughts abound, especially when one can hide their true life behind a screen in privacy. I'm proud of you for your channel and your content. There are so many that are thankful and have sincere interest in your content and your character. Don't let little people with no integrity cause you to engage, even mentally, and slow your roll.

      Yes! While I was listening to Carolyn describe some of the various aspects of bullying I couldn't help but think of the Harry & Meghan. I don't know them (obviously) or if everything they've said is true or not, but the mean, nasty comments about them are over the top. And just like with Carolyn, there doesn't seem to be an actual reason people hate them so much. I'm been watching Carolyn's channel for a while now and didn't realize she (and apparently others) have this type of bullying going on. I admire her for hanging in there. I sold my van 6 months ago but still like following some of the full-time RVers, they're like family.

That is way beyond normal, so focused and obsessive. Too bad I didn't know the feed trick, but I did report the scurvy character. Thanks for the insight. When you were describing how these bullies are drawn together in their warped realities, and how they use internet just to destroy, couldn't help but think of the Jan. 6th nuts. This year I stole your moto for my Xmas card: heath and kindness throughout the year! Since I can't send you the card here, I pinned it on my fb page.

    Carolyn Thank-you so much for addressing this! I have a tiny channel and I’m not even monetized yet and I’ve already dealt with this. (on a much smaller scale- of course) I got so tired of people saying: just ignore them, turn the other cheek, Red. and people calling them “trolls” 😡 When someone makes a video about you, to bash you on their channel that is NOT a TROLL it’s a BULLY! And I had people I thought were my friends side with this person and think it’s OK for him to do a video bashing me -it got him watch time and he got monetized! The video he did bashing me is his most viewed live! I had to threaten this bully with a lawsuit to get him and his minions to stop. I am so glad you addressed this! YOU ROCK!

We all need to say no to everyone who is bullying. I don’t know what to do. I don’t comment much and no one has commented on my comments. I did have someone comment on a different channel and pretend to be the creator. Then they wanted me to get a free package ( iPad) it sent me a red flag and I called them scammers. So I deleted their messages. I am glad you are here to let people know!! Thanks Carolyn ❤❤

    Hi Carolyn. Don't think I've ever commented on your videos before. You and I probably agree more than disagree philosophically. As I was watching this one, my immediate first impulse was to reach out to these dingbats and do what I am quite effective at on other discussion boards...'return the favor'. However, as you've requested, I'll hold my tongue and not engage them, even though I feel strongly that a bully...needs to be bullied in order to end his bullying. In any case, so glad you have a strong will and great outlook on things in general. We will continue to enjoy your videos. Take care, stay strong!

    Addendum to previous comment a half-hour ago...Oh, yeah...HashTag Promise....I went down the list on the right hand side of your video looking for something to watch. Down the page a ways, I see some guy disparaging you in the title. So I clicked on it to watch...and in the first 30 seconds he was doing a fine job of it. I went to the 3 dots and reported the bullying. I didn't watch any longer than 30 seconds. And checked the spot to tell YT that I don't want to see his videos.

It was a complete nightmare! Constant nonstop harassment day and night! He made fake profiles of me, attacked my nonprofit organization.
