    I don't even pay attention to the homepage, honestly - I always go straight to my subscriptions to see what's new! And whenever I see one of yours, I immediately click to watch (and hit "like" of course)! 🥰

    Jen, I know of at least 3 BeautyTubers who reached 100k subs a year before you, but since then, they've only gained less than 20k more, while you've zoomed by and are already past 200k!! I say this not to bring them down, but to point out how much your content has resonated with viewers lately. Simply put, we think you're great! :)

      To me it’s just way too much shock and awe with people - “OH MY GOSH!” “DID YOU SEE THAT?!” “YOU NEED THIS!” “WALK DON’T RUN!” Etc. Etc. Etc. Without giving any actual details on why they think it’s so amazing and why I need it. And most of the time they don’t show swatches. And when they do they’re usually useless (too quick, or don’t show them well, etc.). So I just can’t be bothered with TikTok 😅

    I have to admit there are many beauty content creator videos that I used to enjoy watching that I scroll pass because there are less make-up tutorials and skin care education and more pushing the latest products. I feel bombarded and overwhelmed by all these "You need to have this in your life," videos and influencers who change their holy grails on a monthly basis, I'm grateful for your channel, as I feel you are more interested in helping us make smart decisions about new products and demonstrating make-up applications. Thank you for your videos!

      I wonder if that is because so other creators overuse “dupe” and wearied or confused. Perhaps you could have a battle between the same types of new high and low cosmetics or your older ones. I find myself watching those at times. I am interested in budget options for hair, beauty and skin, but I want value for my budget. Outside of beauty, I watch some historical cooking, knitting, and random history. And the pretty nature scenes with music or rain to rest my brain

    First of all, I never went over to TikTok because of the Chinese ownership and because, as you said, the content seems too much like a sales pitch.
    I like your channel because you showcase products without shoving them down our throats. You give honest reviews combined with a relaxed tutorial. And, I like your style of presenting. You are very well-spoken without the vocal fry and over-the-top reactions of other creators.

    I used to have maybe 5-6 beauty content providers that I watched all the time, including you. I have narrowed that down to two, you and one other. I will intentionally look for someone doing a video that is related to either a product that I am thinking of purchasing or one that I have purchased and am having difficulty using. I appreciate your videos so much and I'm glad you're here. So far, your content always shows up when I come to RUclips. I have not been on TikTok at all. I do not care to be sold to and love videos that demonstrate the true use and honest review of a product. BTW, I am 76 and still love makeup.

    I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that I was a big fan of your “No Buy July” series… it strongly resonated with me and was just what I needed to examine my shopping habits (not just makeup) and our consumerism focused/FOMO culture. I’m sorry to hear that it “wasn’t successful” as far as analytics go, but it made a positive impact on me on a personal level that has carried on well past the month of July.

    • @mariabarradas4235
      @mariabarradas4235 4 дня назад +6

      Loved it too, I do not like the pressure to buy more and more or just expensive make up...this video shows that the difference in brand is not that important, I like advice on how to look nice but not over the top and for sure not feel pressure to buy for the sake of buying.

I can tell you put a lot of effort in, and that makes a difference. I don’t think you use clickbait titles or thumbnails. I think you have fun, creative ideas and I love that you try new things. I also love your vlogmas and it’s been fun to watch you continue your holiday routine with your son and see him grow up. It’s really sweet! I appreciate the way you film such that you’re maintaining his privacy while still making it easy to watch. Please keep bringing us the awesome work you do, and don’t get discouraged if new stuff you try doesn’t work. That’s part of the process!

You don’t ramble, you’re so well-spoken, and I appreciate all the leg work you do to help me zero in on the few things that I end up choosing to add to my collection. I always love the favorite and best of makeup and skin care videos. In fact, I’ve been hoping you’d do an updated skincare video soon!

I'm 62, I love makeup, finding what works for my ever changing aging skin is a challenge. I watch more mature content creators, not so much the under 30s because what works for them often doesn't, for me. I enjoy your dupe videos, your haul videos, your advent calendar is genius. I really appreciate your honest reviews and look forward to your content. I understand you need to do what keeps your channel growing, you have to play along with RUclipss game so you can continue. Just know you're appreciated for everything you do here.

    My husband just bought me the ND My Dream palette as an early birthday gift during the black Friday sale. I've never tried anything from Alter Ego. The matte shades were definitely spot on. I'm glad that you aren't leaving, I prefer longer content. I rarely see anyone I follow on my homepage, I just go to my subscriptions. They are trying to be like TT and push the shorter content but I'm old and enjoy watching longer videos and getting to know the creators I follow instead of watching multiple random short videos. I can't imagine the pressure of having my income dependent on algorithms and the attention span of strangers. I love the look you created. I'm definitely going to look into Alter Ego shadows. Thanks for sharing!

    I don’t pay attention to my home page. I watch RUclips all the time and always have a video paused in the background when I am not able to watch, so I only check my subscription feed. Do not ever rely on your home page to give you decent recommendations. This is why I rarely look at my home page. When the app updates and it refreshes, I immediately go to my subscription feed, even though it opens on the home feed.

I have learned so much watching your channel (I’m a fairly new subscriber). I love the way you do an honest comparison with drugstore and high end products. I love that you give honest feedback, without harsh and unkind comments. In today’s video, I love how you applied the layers of eyeshadow to achieve a beautiful everyday look that I am inspired to try! You’ve given me confidence at age 58 to branch outside of my makeup comfort zone, and it has been life altering (yes, makeup can be life altering 😊). One last thing, I absolutely loved going through your makeup stash with you in videos a few weeks ago. It was so fun to see what you have collected and why to keep or not keep the item.
    Anyway, thank you so much for helping to make my days brighter through your lovely personality and content. God bless!

    For me, I significantly reduced the amount of influencers I used to follow. It’s too much of the same content over and over. Also, less temptation, spend less etc. I love your content because it’s creative. A lot of others aren’t putting in the effort to keep it interesting. Love Vlogmas, love the birds, the deer and views of your beautiful town.

    Just want to mention again (first time this year) how much I enjoy the little peek at the weather where you live. I live in the land of no weather, so I experience the seasons vicariously through videos like yours (especially Autumn and Winter). ❤

    I don't have Tiktok. I have my trusted creators that I chose to follow on RUclips because of their professionalism and quality. Even if I'm not particularly interested in the current video, I always try and watch because I want them to succeed. You my dear are at the top of that list. Keep being you and the success will be there.❤

    I'll watch whatever you put out honestly..you are my favorite RUclipsr I'm just drawn to your demeanor, content and the fact that you truly seem to like makeup for makeup sake and don't have any other agendas. So many other RUclipsrs struggle to be wanting to do RUclips anymore and it makes it awkward to watch like they don't really want to be doing it. It's not fun to watch if you feel like their heart isn't in it. Personally I do love the Sunday hauls and k beauty or products that others dont do. I hate when it's very obvious a product is being pushed and all the sudden there's like 30 videos on that product

    I don't know but I feel like you're enjoying creating content more these days - and that you create content YOU want to make, rather than content you feel would perform best. I might be making this up but that is how I feel. And I like it!

      I agree, I think that makes a big difference. Some influencers don’t interact at all in the comments. Those people don’t seem to get as many comments. But Jen actually interacts with her followers which makes us want to comment.

    What I’m watching most are longer videos. I want to see 40 minute+ videos in my subscriptions, because I have them on while I do other things. I get excited when I see someone I like has posted a 2 hour declutter, or “swatching all my xyz” video. I miss your Sunday hauls for that reason. Those were my favorite of your video types. ❤️

    I'm probably not the average person. I really like to listen to makeup and perfume videos in the morning while I'm getting ready and doing things around the house. So it's kind of a companion for me. I like to hear about products and ways to take care of my skin.

    I think the effort you put into your channel really shows. You come up with fantastic ideas for videos and I really appreciate you showing a variety of products (k-beauty, drugstore and high end) plus I really appreciate the "opinion/commentary" videos, the comparisons, and your honest reviews and perspectives on the beauty community/industry. I really appreciate that you try things and don't just do what everyone else is doing (or you at least always put your spin on things).

If I don’t see things I want to watch on my home page I will go to my subscriber page to see out what I want to watch, after all I have subscribed for a reason! I want to see your content!!! I’m so sorry you and other creators continue to have to fight against the platform to do what you love. I too, hate being sold something which is one of the many reasons I love your channel. You are kind, genuine, and we can see that you love what you do! I have been watching you for years and have come to see you as a friend as I have the other people I’m subscribed to. I take time to spend with y’all so I’m not going anywhere. Thank you so much for what you do and all the work you put into it! ❤❤❤

All they want is their growth not yours…keep doing what you’re doing, I look forward to your videos. I go straight to my subscriptions, I don’t even look at the homepage, I don’t like utube showing what I should be watching and I don’t do TikTok, I prefer the longer videos.🎄🎄💖

  • @KimMcCallie

    I have found myself watching less and less beauty RUclips videos. My main reason for this is overconsumption and wastefulness in the beauty community. When I started watching beauty videos, I was watching people share their curated collections and creativity. I saw a change in the community during Covid when a majority of the influencers I was watching decided to make their livings on RUclips. With that, we were flooded with new products on a daily basis as well as affiliate links and reviews of products with collaborations as goals. Some channels are only doing new product reviews and the products are shown once then included in a monthly ranking. It’s a big turnoff for me. I don’t watch Sephora recommendations or hauls. I’m over the wastefulness of it all especially from people who are getting the products for free with the cost of these free products being passed down to consumers.

  • @cath3rine9

    I have a few thoughts… 1, you look GORGEOUS today- I love your hair especially! 2, I can’t believe people seriously think you use click bait. If they watched any of your content they would know you are better than that. 3, if I don’t see a video from you on my home page I just go to your channel because I like to keep up with your content whether RUclips pushes it or not!

  • @Ellsped10

    I’ve followed a few youtube “influencers” and over last year I’ve canceled my subscription to their account because I don’t see anything new! I’ve learned what I needed from them and it’s like taking a course! Once you’ve learned something you need to move on! Especially since now they’re trying to sell a brand or skincare etc! These people are young and honestly they shouldn’t talk about skincare cause they have beautiful young skin! Your videos, on the other hand, are about 1. Drugstore brands 2. Their quality 3. Other topics such as reusing what we have, no buy July etc. So I’ve not only enjoyed watching your videos but also learn about quality of drugstore brands! Anyone can go and shop Chanel or Dior but it’s difficult to shop Cover Girl or Maybeline cause I can’t try them before buying! 🙏👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    1. I enjoy your content. It is like chatting with a friend. I trust you and feel you are genuine.
    2. I hear creators say they aren't showing up and I always reply you did show up for me. Recently I realized they mean on home page. I never scrolled that I always hit my subs and go straight to a long line of videos I signed up for.
    So lately I have been checking home page and rarely like a video or two of my subs come up. It is basically offering me new to me creators. The interesting thing is a lot of them are very small to small. Say 150 to 1000 subscribers. So that is curious.
    3 my viewing has changed. A lot of health and fitness creators I loved have left. Some wait rarely post channel up no good bye but silent. I got into indie nail polish this past year so now enjoy a lot of that content. I still watch skincare and beauty though. Also went back more to my original learning content. 8 yrs ago my youtube was 4 main health fitness youtu era and lots of learning. Mostly health and functional medical. During covid that changed to more hobby friendship content.
    I also do not view short form content or use tiktok at all.l
    I have no idea if any of that helps, but there you go.

    I watch a lot of beauty videos. My favorite was Mel Thompson. I miss her so much. She really did close ups on applying her make up. She had a nice camera. The color was really good. You could really see what she was doing. There are not many RUclipsrs that do that anymore.

  • @pajamamama5965

    I don't do tic tock ever. Thank you for sharing this. I watch every single one of your videos because I enjoy you and it's not so much about the content. There are other RUclipsrs that I'm more interested in the content than the creator and so I only have a limited amount of time to choose who to watch. So for those people if it's not a topic I care about, I will skip that video. I think all of your videos are valuable and I enjoy every one. Plus you have a great community here so the comments are always interesting and uplifting. I hope you'll keep doing what you're doing because you're amazing

    I don't have patience for short form clips, I know that sounds odd but it's the way I feel. Tiktok isn't even an option for me, I'd never install that cr*p on my devices. I enjoy your content a lot, you are probably the best reviewer I'm subscribed to, and I appreciate how down to earth and sincere you are. As for the algorithm, I don't really bother with that, I always go in my 'subscriptions' tab and there I can see any new uploads. Keep being the way you are, and know that you are appreciated.

  • @shellteresa778

    I always watch all your videos since subscribing yrs ago. I always go to my subscriptions. I don’t really look at the home page. I really enjoy your videos. Helps with a mental break that I’ve truly needed since my mom’s passing. I just make a playlist and watch while I get ready.
    I don’t have a TikTok. It just does t appeal to me. I tried it once then deactivated my account.
    I do like watching drugstore video and I also like GRWM. I wish GRWM was popular with ppl. I know creators have said those videos don’t do as well. I enjoy them plus I like the fact the creator uses older products that so many of us love.

    I'm glad your not quitting because I really enjoy your videos especially the more experimental ones. You have come up with some fabulous ideas in the last few months and I really appreciate your creativity! After 15 years on RUclips I decided to try TikTok instead and I enjoy a lot more than I did RUclips. I've got over 7,000 subscribers on RUclips but I should have WAY more than that after so many years of hard work. So I'm trying to grow my audience over there instead and have stepped back from RUclips. I can't do both because.... it would take too long to explain. I think I know what has held me back and it's for reasons that are beyond my control. I've tried to do what I can and improve what I can improve but sometimes there are obstacles that we can't surmount. xoxo Deb

Your titles always hit exactly what the main topic of the video is, which is the opposite of click bait! People can be so weird with things!!! I’m on Reddit a lot and only ever see good things about you on there. And I’m glad about that! I don’t like arguing with people but I’d have to argue anyone saying something like you use click bait or anything like that! 🤪
