Obviously I LOVE RUclips and my plan isn't to leave! But I've definitely seen a huge shift in the last couple of years and I want to know if you guys have noticed it. I want to clarify that the things I'm talking about don't apply to the friends that you have seen me collaborate with on RUclips. A LOT of RUclipsrs are still so supportive and wonderful and they are my closest friends! But RUclips is changing, and so is the community. It used to feel like a family. Now it feels very competitive. This video isn't meant to be shady or negative towards anyone at all. It's just an observation. I'm curious if you guys have noticed a shift as well, or if it is just me. Let me know what you think!
*Its more competitive now because there is less money from big advertisers* ever since pewdiepie got all that bad publicity many big companys stopped paying youtube for commercials. RUclips also had to try to recover from the bad publicity by getting strict with video content guidelines. Both these things equal to youtubers making very little money now.
Before, RUclipsrs would make videos for the purpose of entertainment. Now it seems that they only do it to get views, and they don't seem very genuine. It's all super clickbait-y and staged stuff
Because to plan, film and edit videos once a day, it required hours of their time and leaves little time to work a “real job.” How else are they able to make money?
I didn't even realise that Daisy Mae's middle name was the same as yours. Like... I knew both of your middles names...... But I hadn't put two and two together. WWWOOOOOOWWW I'm smart.
I’ve noticed all the RUclips changes , I wish I kept my channnel in 2009 when it felt like a big family but now it feels like business , competition , and very hard to do much .
I definitely notice a lot less collabs which is really disappointing! Those always used to be my favorite haha! I wish it wasn’t such a competition either and we could all just support each other! I hope you never quit though because I love your personality so much!!
Yes yes yes. I agree with everything you said. I’ve 100% noticed it all too. It sucks. The automated system is trash and trying to FIX anything when something goes wrong with monetization and trying to get a hold of or contact someone is not a thing. Feels distant. Especially for small but still decently successful youtubers. I feel ya honey.
I’ve completely seen a shift and that’s why I’ve quit watching some people, because it became a competition. It’s no longer about entertaining people and the “new” content that is coming out is so generic. People have become so overwhelmed with gluttony and are so pretentious it’s insane. Nice to know some of the OG people are noticing and staying true to themselves 😊
Michaela Peters That's the main reason I stopped watching Pewdiepie. It suddenly felt that he was acting as if he was entertained, when he really wasn't, and that he was trying too hard to make overused jokes and stuff to entertain the audience. I no longer felt his drive to make his audience smile or laugh and genuinely like his content, like it used to be. Even though he's wayyyyy up there, I believe he still considers is a competition.
Jenna & Julien have talked about what you mentioned extensively on multiple episodes of their podcast, definitely listen if you would like, they're very insightful and thought-provoking!
The episode discussing Jake Paul, RUclips Restricted Mode, Pewdiepie, RUclips & the WSJ, Censorship/Demonetization of RUclips, and RUclips Networks. Those are the ones in which they speak most explicitly about issues surrounding RUclips as a whole but they discuss it in other episodes as well!
I miss the RUclips of 2013-2015 where ALL the content was super entertaining not like weird dancing and all about trends like slime and fidget spinners. Any one else agree???
Colleen, you have no clue how much you do for your fans and your Mirfandas. You would crush all of our hearts!😭❤ I want you to continue to do RUclips forever and ever! It's what a lot of people look forward to in their day, it's literally to watch you. You make me soooooo happy I can't even tell you💖 You are so original and genuine. Even my 38 year old mom watches you all the time and tells me about how much she loves you!!!
OMG I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!! It's so hard to find my subs and everyone is competing on youtube and it's sad because everyone worked together but now it just doesn't happen anymore.
I love how you don't care what others think about what you do in your own home. I'm surprised more people don't start decorating for Christmas early. Especially those who don't celebrate Halloween and or Thanksgiving.
I’ve been following creators on RUclips since 2007, starting with the VlogBrothers. There has been a HUGE shift in the culture. It is so hard to find new channels, and often times the algorithms favor mean and thoughtless over kind and thoughtful. I choose to believe it’s the algorithms and not that people genuinely prefer that. Just recently I heard a makeup guru shade another and was shocked! Maybe I’m naive but I also think that when one RUclipsr succeeds it is a win for all of us that appreciate RUclips as a resource for creative content/entertainment. Keep it up Colleen!
I have noticed a shift on RUclips. All the Viners lost their platform and had to come over to RUclips to keep making content. Not that they are the problem but I think that is when the shift occurred. I miss it when you all would collab together. It should be more about what you are doing then the money you are making. If you love what you are doing then that is all that matters.
You gotta eat though. Yep the viners caused this shift. I keep wondering if youtube and vine had some sort of deal you know? To promote the viners. Because some of them had a lot of followers and loops on vine. They just gained all these subscribers and popularity so fast it's puzzling.
I have noticed it and RUclips is a lot different now (now it’s full of Jake Paul and Logan Paul😂😂😂) but it is also full of fights, click bait, jealousy, etc. I have been subscribed to you since 2014 and I hope you do not quit💕 You make me laugh during hard times and Miranda makes my day. Thank you sooooooo much. We are all here for you!!! P.S I loved the second season of Haters back off❤️
As someone who has been watching RUclipsrs for 10 years, the shift is apparent to me as well. I miss watching videos of people being silly in their living rooms and recording on webcams. Today, it feels like many newer RUclipsrs are in it for the money and care little about their audiences and one another.
I definitely have noticed the shift. It’s just lame because youtube is sooooo saturated now that it’s very difficult to even find new hq youtubers. Which is one of the things that would make it so much easier to build communities of good hearted content creators. Cause lets face it all of the big channels are slightly unreachable to us little people. If I were you Colleen I’d just count myself lucky I got to experience an awesome RUclipsr community for even a day! But I totally understand where you’re coming from and it would make me sad too! But hopefully you won’t ever have to leave...
As an adult who has been watching youtube since i was young i understand what youre saying. RUclips is so different now, and its almost getting less genuine. I totally understand your feelings. Life will take you down different paths, and i will continue to support you wherever it takes you.
save the arctic I totally agree, now all it is seems to be promoting merch or shade videos, it’s not half the content and effort people used to put it.
I also think that there unfortunately is a significant decline in creative quality :/ Lilly recently posted a video addressing that, if you haven't seen it; I think it describes the whole thing pretty accurately
I also think people who are just starting with youtube are doing it for the wrong reasons. It used to be people like Shane, Felix, Colleen, Smosh, who were just trying to make people laugh. Now it is people who understand you can because famous and make a lot of money off of this. So then they have no passion in what theyre doing.
Colleen you’re such a positive bean! I just recently started growing on RUclips and as soon as I did, some RUclipsrs started talking about me behind my back, and some congratulated me. Being on youtube is weird but I kind of love it 💙💙💙💙
if you were to quit, you’d be giving in to the competition. you are letting yourself lose. you have millions of people who adore you so much. i hope you continue so i have something to look forward to and smile about everyday. isn’t that your goal? to make people happy and smile?💜i love you colleen and i hope you love us too💜💜❤️❤️
Aaron Murphy she makes enough money. It's just that RUclips's guidelines have gotten so strict in regards to how content creators (RUclipsrs) can make money.
I have noticed it. RUclips used to be a collaboration of creators...hard working creators...with dreams, goals and determination while remaining professional. Recently I have noticed a shift towards chaos, laziness and unprofessionalism. Also, the trending page is all celebrities, talk shows, news and I rarely see creators. It makes me sad. You got my support!
I have seen a shift in the past couple years with increasing amounts of advertisements, many of those we aren’t able to skip, so if they’re demonetizing like you said, that doesn’t make sense. I’m not a fan of this system, I miss the old youtube:( But keep on going! Hopefully it turns out okay!
*I actually get sad knowing that I may never be able to actually collab with you because by the time i get in the "millions of subs" area of youtube, you'll probaly move to something else by then* :(
Just keep leaving thirsty comments like these on popular RUclipsr's channels and maybe you'll strike gold and one of them will let you leach off of them!
I agree on the @RUclips thing 100%! They are demonetizing everyone's videos and the bigger part of the RUclips community makes a living out of their videos. And the worst part about it is that most of the videos are nice and normal without any violence and they're still getting demonetized. I'll use another RUclipsr that I watch as an example ( @Deligracy ). She's making Sims related videos and her videos about Cats & Dogs (The cutest creatures on the planet) are getting demonetized for no reason. Now, about the collaborations thing... When I really started getting into RUclips about 2 and a half years ago RUclips was SO different! Every second video that came out was a collab, and now I rarely see one. People used to support each other more and now, slowly and sadly, it becomes a competition. Okay, the last thing I have to say is that I love you and that's it, bye! 😍❤😘
I think I knew a long time ago the dangers of relying on RUclips as a main source or an only source of income. The more people that want to be RUclips famous the harder it is for content creators to continue to make a living. I've seen some youtubers lose their home recently. People don't have stable pay. If I were a youtuber at this point I'd use this platform as a portfolio to look for a more stable career. Then again being a creator is risky in general. But I wouldn't bank on RUclips in the long run. I could be wrong but hey.
That’s a really good idea! I’d like to see that happen to...then creators could have options, and instead of RUclips doing whatever it wants and not worrying about people leaving, maybe there would actually be some changes made...
Good idea. They should make it so that you have to be signed to the platform to upload on there and the channels are categorized by genres to make them easier to find. Basically Netflix with videos.
Colleen I really love you. You are SO original and I had a very long period in my life where I suffered years of depression and my therapist told me to do what made me happy so I watched RUclips until I came across you and your beautiful family. Everyday that I watch you it seemed to make my day better until I wasn’t crying myself to sleep and I would look forward to your videos every few days and I understand this is a hard time but do what you think you want to do, I love Colleen’s corner and your vlogs even the silly Miranda videos but please don’t quit on us because all of us watching this video support you so much and we all love you so much. Like if you agree🙂
Heidi Donis yeah I agree like on vidcon, playlist live etc I remember the old Zoella vlogs were she used to make videos with Joey, Miranda and Tyler etc I remember the old pointlessblog videos that were so funny on his main channel,now I don't watch him much.
i very much agree with the over saturation topic. once one video type, per say, is done, EVERYONE has to make their version of the same video. i am beginning to feel like there’s almost nothing new to make. just my thoughts, really glad you addressed this topic as a content creator who has been on for a substantial amount of time
exactly. "oh, by the way, I'm leaving cos of changing" how is that fair to us. do you actually care about your viewers? seriously way to go over the top coleen
I went to your concert in Brisbane and I loved it. I was a VIP so I was so shocked when I hugged you, I didn't know what to think. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH😍😍
love ya Colleen , you make my heart Smile ...and about the RUclips . No matter what choise you make no matter what ... Your FANS and I with always be by your side to cheer you on and be there when u need to cry ( XXX One of your Biggest fans Lokina )
Honestly you're such a successful woman, probably one of the most hard working people I've seen on RUclips with regards to work outside of the platform and on, so gurl you don't need RUclips no more !! Fulfil your broadway dreams I truly believe you personally have the ability to accomplish anything and you'll always have the support from your OGs💜💜
Dear Colleen , Do not leave RUclips . You probably won’t see this but it’s one person trying got make a difference . Your videos have really helped me through such a hard time in my life and I love you so much and I don’t think I could cope if there ever was a day that you said I’m quitting. Honestly gurl you’d have to wait till I’m dead to quit , or give me another way to see your content or I’ll cry a lot ... I LOVE yOU SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😘
Tho I'm still a small channel, yet I truly love and appreciate every single subscriber that sticks with me and is still there tho I'm silly sometimes. Well you are inspiration to me. And even if I'm small on RUclips I feel what you feel. RUclips is making it really hard. Girl we're here for you! And we love you !
I completely understand you, Colleen. Despite me not being on RUclips back then and witnessing the kindness and support that people shared. It sounds wonderful, and I totally wish it was still like it now. Just, take some time alright? I think that's the best thing to do. I ADORE your videos and been watching them for quite a while, though the last thing I want to see is you being bored of RUclips or on the edge of quitting. Do you boo, and look after yourself!
I've watched you since 2009 & I have seen a big shift in youtube also. As an aspiring RUclipsr with no a whole bunch of subscribers, i would love to collab with people, but even a while ago when I asked someone to collaborate they downed me and said I didn't have enough subscribers.... Anyways I'm watching you on Sunday and i'm honestly more excited than I've ever been!!! More thank all the artists I've watched! Love you Colleen!! Excited to meet you. Hope I can sing with you one day, I think you're phenomenal xxx
Colleen all your thoughts are completely understandable! I think the OGs on here would agree that RUclips has become more competitive. Personally, I love it when you make videos that YOU like not videos that are trending, bc most times trending videos are simply repetitive and don't really require much talent. I also think that you could be outgrowing RUclips. Although you've had an incredible run, I feel like you are so talented and why shouldn't you try to work towards your Broadway dream? Also, no matter what you do, I still hope that you continue to share your lives with us on here! You know your real fans will always support you no matter what you do!!
I know exactly what you’re talking about with the RUclips creators! I can’t count how many times fellow RUclipsrs have turned me down for collabs and came back at me with statements like I’m not sure I want my channel tied to something like yours. I’ve always been the kind of person who if someone asks me to do a collab with them I get excited and ask what’s it about. I have turned some people away due to super put there skits they wanted me to do with them that I wasn’t comfortable with. Like getting naked on camera. But other than those few times I’ve always said yes to collabs. Also I feel like RUclips has reached a point where it’s extremely hard to be found in the sea of everyone else who’s creating. I had a channel back in 2010 that was flourishing and I deleted it once a creeper showed up where I lived and the police said there wasn’t anything they could do. I wish I could go back in time and tell myself younger self not to delete the videos but put them on private. Because now that I started my new channel it’s been impossible to get myself out there. I feel like all the other social medias have become so competitive with RUclips that they don’t like you promoting yourself to your friends over their social networks. I’ve been looking into newer platforms to see if there’s a new stage I can stand on that will get me what RUclips once upon a time had.
Drummond what you are saying is so true, it is very hard to get noticed! I just started my own channel which I hope will flourish! I would love it if you checked it out and subbed 💋☄
Yes!! I loveeee watching Collabs but now it’s super rare that people do them but I think a lot of it is just the entire internet that has shifted. Idl if that’s just me getting older and stuff or if that’s actually a thing but it seems like the internet is kind of it a weird place right now
I live for the tea honey. THANK YOU for talking about this because it doesn’t seem like many other big youtubers want to acknowledge or get serious about it. Pewdiepie talks about it sometimes I guess. Kingsley made a great vid about it recently, but it seriously needs to be addressed by more independent creators. Maybe they’re too busy tho tearing each other down for views that the community has lost its unity and voice?
Obviously I LOVE RUclips and my plan isn't to leave! But I've definitely seen a huge shift in the last couple of years and I want to know if you guys have noticed it. I want to clarify that the things I'm talking about don't apply to the friends that you have seen me collaborate with on RUclips.

I'm curious if you guys have noticed a shift as well, or if it is just me. Let me know what you think!
PsychoSoprano Never leave us! We love you!!!!❤️
Sad to say RUclips is changing. 😥
Sad to say RUclips is changing. 😥

PsychoSoprano I have noticed this also
OMG! THE PART ABOUT RUclips! RT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love you!
Ricky Dillon 😜
a legend supporting a legend
Ricky Dillon hey I love u 😭❤️
SameHey
Ricky Dillon heyy Ricky your amazing thanks for always being there for Colleen your both legends
Sadly a lot of people are experiencing what you are and RUclips needs to listen to their creators or they'll leave
true its basically what happened with vine
*Its more competitive now because there is less money from big advertisers* ever since pewdiepie got all that bad publicity many big companys stopped paying youtube for commercials. RUclips also had to try to recover from the bad publicity by getting strict with video content guidelines. Both these things equal to youtubers making very little money now.
I love those videos lol
Cora LovesGlam your right
Before, RUclipsrs would make videos for the purpose of entertainment. Now it seems that they only do it to get views, and they don't seem very genuine. It's all super clickbait-y and staged stuff
LondonThePerson Or, strictly for brand promotion unfortunately
LondonThePerson but I totally agree and see that too
Because to plan, film and edit videos once a day, it required hours of their time and leaves little time to work a “real job.” How else are they able to make money?
LondonThePerson Like this video basically x
I didn't even realise that Daisy Mae's middle name was the same as yours. Like... I knew both of your middles names...... But I hadn't put two and two together. WWWOOOOOOWWW I'm smart.
Hi
I’ve noticed all the RUclips changes , I wish I kept my channnel in 2009 when it felt like a big family but now it feels like business , competition , and very hard to do much .
+PcychoSoprano lol we know you ain't real XD
She is correct, jealously is not a good color on ANYONE.
Victoria William Gaming its "colour" not "color"
Maya Kikay actually it is spelt color or colour depending where you live.
Maya Kikay nope. It's color in the US. We don't belong to Europe anymore so we don't need to go by their spelling.
Maya Kikay in Canada it’s colour but in America it’s colour depending on where u live
Raise your 🤚 if your one of the 5 people who loves Colleen Corner!!
*you're
Also..there are MANY many more than 5 people that like it. Dolt.
SonnyGTA 0:07
Victoria H me
✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻
I definitely notice a lot less collabs which is really disappointing! Those always used to be my favorite haha! I wish it wasn’t such a competition either and we could all just support each other! I hope you never quit though because I love your personality so much!!
I think a reform will come if things continue in this way.
Yes yes yes. I agree with everything you said. I’ve 100% noticed it all too. It sucks. The automated system is trash and trying to FIX anything when something goes wrong with monetization and trying to get a hold of or contact someone is not a thing.
Feels distant. Especially for small but still decently successful youtubers. I feel ya honey.
I completely agree with the shift in the community but IF YOU LEAVE IM GONNA CRY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE😭
Brooke Richards SAME
yep same. She is one of the only ones left
I mean Lilly, Liza, Dodie Clark, Connor Franta, and Colleen are all awesome people who are on RUclips. I still have hope!
Brooke Richards SAME
Same she's my favorite youtuber
I screamed when you said Ariana lmao, you guys need to make a video together, I love your friend relationship with her!
Oh my goodness I remember all the collabs and I miss themmmmmmm
Amelia Niccum yea and all the love!!
Amelia Niccum I WANT A COLLAB WITH LOGAN PAUL
You and I both!
Amelia Niccum same

ShockinglyWiz But didn’t Pewdiepie quit RUclips?
Jenna & Julien have talked about what you mentioned extensively on multiple episodes of their podcast, definitely listen if you would like, they're very insightful and thought-provoking!
Gina Pagel which ones?
What are some specific episodes? I would love to listen!
The episode discussing Jake Paul, RUclips Restricted Mode, Pewdiepie, RUclips & the WSJ, Censorship/Demonetization of RUclips, and RUclips Networks. Those are the ones in which they speak most explicitly about issues surrounding RUclips as a whole but they discuss it in other episodes as well!
Yes! I was going to say that!
They never really discussed actually quitting though from what I remember they were more just talking about the changes.
I miss the RUclips of 2013-2015 where ALL the content was super entertaining not like weird dancing and all about trends like slime and fidget spinners. Any one else agree???
Caris Enright I am trying to create content just like that! I would love it if you checked out channel and subbed 💋☄
You mean 2007 - 2015
DEFINITELY!! i miss seeing unity among everyone and more creative content (there is still a lot now, but it's mostly all the same )
Yes I totally agree.
I love this channel
Colleen, you have no clue how much you do for your fans and your Mirfandas. You would crush all of our hearts!😭❤ I want you to continue to do RUclips forever and ever! It's what a lot of people look forward to in their day, it's literally to watch you. You make me soooooo happy I can't even tell you💖 You are so original and genuine.

I love how you don't care what others think about what you do in your own home. I'm surprised more people don't start decorating for Christmas early. Especially those who don't celebrate Halloween and or Thanksgiving.
TheMMCchannel
Well, most likely the people who don't celebrate that don't celebrate Christmas.
Am i the only one who feels like Team 10, Logan Paul and CloutGang ruined RUclips?
Dont know those names😂😂
Who on earth is cloutgang wtf
OMG yes ikr
Ikr. RUclips sucks now
Bethany Hansard More famous than you

i completely agree
I just commented the same thing. I totally agree👍🏻

Yes I know she’ll never see this lol
Hey, 2017 Colleen! You’re gonna be on Broadway in a couple months!
love you colleen, and youtube would never be the same without you!
Mackenzie Frecloud it sure would have less click bait!
As an adult who has been watching youtube since i was young i understand what youre saying. RUclips is so different now, and its almost getting less genuine. I totally understand your feelings. Life will take you down different paths, and i will continue to support you wherever it takes you.

Who's here when Colleen is gonna be on Broadway??? 💞💞💞

I just recently started growing on RUclips and as soon as I did, some RUclipsrs started talking about me behind my back, and some congratulated me.
Being on youtube is weird but I kind of love it 💙💙💙💙
But yes. I have noticed everything you said about comparing numbers and stuff lmao 🍷
Cats Pajamas yes agreed
Ben Blue you've got 9k....I Highly doubt youtubers are talking about you lmao
Ben Blue luv ur channel
Robbie Sharp and you have 100 so I highly doubt you know what it’s like at 9K lmao.
Colleen you should do the Colleen's Corner theme song again!! Pls!! 💝

Lol so cute ....
Interesting
Yeah I've noticed the weird changes in RUclips , too ...
Don't worry all the RUclipsrs talk bout it too ...
What you said about youtube is soooooo trueeeeee... I experience this in Holland now as a youtuber
Bradley Braafhart the community is worthless...
Bradley Braafhart OMG I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS IM FROM HOLLAND IK HOU VAN JE VIDEOS ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If you leave RUclips then I leave RUclips (that means please don’t leave RUclips) 😂
Jumps on Colleen No no NO NO DONT LEAVE DONT LEAVE WAAAAAA
MOM PLS
PLEASE don't leave! 😭 we love you too much!
Family Fax agree
We do
I don’t want her to leave but if she’s not making enough money to support herself I’d totally support her decision to leave
PcychoSoprano can you not try to scam people? What is wrong with you?
Aaron Murphy she makes enough money. It's just that RUclips's guidelines have gotten so strict in regards to how content creators (RUclipsrs) can make money.
I have noticed it. RUclips used to be a collaboration of creators...hard working creators...with dreams, goals and determination while remaining professional. Recently I have noticed a shift towards chaos, laziness and unprofessionalism. Also, the trending page is all celebrities, talk shows, news and I rarely see creators. It makes me sad.
You got my support!
I have seen a shift in the past couple years with increasing amounts of advertisements, many of those we aren’t able to skip, so if they’re demonetizing like you said, that doesn’t make sense. I’m not a fan of this system, I miss the old youtube:(
But keep on going! Hopefully it turns out okay!
*I actually get sad knowing that I may never be able to actually collab with you because by the time i get in the "millions of subs" area of youtube, you'll probaly move to something else by then* :(
Moe Othman same Moe same
Just keep leaving thirsty comments like these on popular RUclipsr's channels and maybe you'll strike gold and one of them will let you leach off of them!
go away
You've been on RUclips for 4 years and you have 50k frikin subs, what makes you think you'll hit millions
Go home sir
Just wanted to point this out cuz colleen,
Ur makeup is poppin
Donut Sprinkles Lover i agree i could not stop staring at her eyes
MAKE RUclips GREAT AGAIN.
Lexes O'Hara if colleen leaves it will be great again
Kylie Aubin if you left this comment section, there would be less negativity here.
Kylie Aubin: Shut up!
0:31 “I would love to be on broadway” well now you will be!!
Um... ya breaking my heart girlie. But whatever you need to do, do it!
Colleen you slayyyy queennn 👑 Ps : Please do not leave youtube ! ❤
PcychoSoprano. F off
I agree on the @RUclips thing 100%! They are demonetizing everyone's videos and the bigger part of the RUclips community makes a living out of their videos. And the worst part about it is that most of the videos are nice and normal without any violence and they're still getting demonetized. I'll use another RUclipsr that I watch as an example ( @Deligracy ). She's making Sims related videos and her videos about Cats & Dogs (The cutest creatures on the planet) are getting demonetized for no reason. Now, about the collaborations thing... When I really started getting into RUclips about 2 and a half years ago RUclips was SO different! Every second video that came out was a collab, and now I rarely see one. People used to support each other more and now, slowly and sadly, it becomes a competition.
Okay, the last thing I have to say is that I love you and that's it, bye! 😍❤😘
Hello Colleen. I have a message from the future.
You WILL be on Broadway in your favorite musical Waitress!!
COLLEEN DONT QUIT RUclips MY LIFE WOULD BE INCOMPLETE WITHOUT YOUR VIDS EVERYDAY ITS WHAT I LOOK FORWARD TO I LOVE YOU SO MUCH❤️
COLLEEN GIRL I FREAKED OUT AT THE THUMBNAIL
Mackenzie Frecloud I see u all over RUclips in the comments like bratayley or something you keep popping up!
Mackenzie Frecloud yes and the title!!!!!
Mackenzie Frecloud same
Mackenzie Frecloud I saw your comment on Brooklyn and baileys video
Mackenzie Frecloud SAME
I think I knew a long time ago the dangers of relying on RUclips as a main source or an only source of income. The more people that want to be RUclips famous the harder it is for content creators to continue to make a living. I've seen some youtubers lose their home recently. People don't have stable pay. If I were a youtuber at this point I'd use this platform as a portfolio to look for a more stable career. Then again being a creator is risky in general. But I wouldn't bank on RUclips in the long run. I could be wrong but hey.
SalmonInYour Rice I agree
SalmonInYour Rice 🍚
Leave a like if you like Colleen's Corners! *Likes*
I agree, I've noticed there's not as many collabs as there used to be.. but I love the collabs so someone should bring those back!
I love collen corner
you must be number four of the five, bc im number five, of the people who like it.
I've always wanted to see Colleen collaborate with Grav3yardgirl. They are both so sweet.
Jaime Reynolds same they are both so cute
Never stop posting Colleen your my inspiration! If you quit who will I watch?!
Taylor Elizabeth just watch the video! She's not leaving
There has been a definite shift. I'm just waiting for a creator to start their own platform, so RUclips doesn't hold this monopoly.
That’s a really good idea! I’d like to see that happen to...then creators could have options, and instead of RUclips doing whatever it wants and not worrying about people leaving, maybe there would actually be some changes made...
mcjuggernuggets made storyfire where if you make vids you make WAY more money than youtube and you can upload whatever you want
Good idea. They should make it so that you have to be signed to the platform to upload on there and the channels are categorized by genres to make them easier to find. Basically Netflix with videos.
dylansoldersister that is exactly what I was thinking wanna help a youtuber our I subbed to you and can you maybe sub to me?
You make a great point. A competitor needs to come up and even the plain-field.
Colleen I really love you. You are SO original and I had a very long period in my life where I suffered years of depression and my therapist told me to do what made me happy so I watched RUclips until I came across you and your beautiful family. Everyday that I watch you it seemed to make my day better until I wasn’t crying myself to sleep and I would look forward to your videos every few days and I understand this is a hard time but do what you think you want to do, I love Colleen’s corner and your vlogs even the silly Miranda videos but please don’t quit on us because all of us watching this video support you so much and we all love you so much.
Like if you agree🙂
Thanks 🙂
PLEASE DONT LEEEAVE!
HEY I WATCH UR VIDEOS! :D OH AND IF U WANNA SEE AT MY CHARACTER MY NAME IS VITTAVITTO :)

Annalie Malone 4/5
5/5 !!
Annalie Malone I'm 6/5 ;)
7/5
I didn't even realize but I do remember there use to be so many collabs:( I miss it
Heidi Donis yeah I agree like on vidcon, playlist live etc I remember the old Zoella vlogs were she used to make videos with Joey, Miranda and Tyler etc I remember the old pointlessblog videos that were so funny on his main channel,now I don't watch him much.
Heidi Donis YES. it's different now :(
i very much agree with the over saturation topic. once one video type, per say, is done, EVERYONE has to make their version of the same video. i am beginning to feel like there’s almost nothing new to make. just my thoughts, really glad you addressed this topic as a content creator who has been on for a substantial amount of time
Do a thanksgiving smoothie challenge and do a video with Ariana grande
Omg your coming to tampa (where i live) on my birthday!! 😱
Now only to work my magic on my parents....

Honestly you are one of my all time favourite RUclipsrs!!! As long as you are happy, your true subscribers will be too
Honestly you're such a successful woman, probably one of the most hard working people I've seen on RUclips with regards to work outside of the platform and on, so gurl you don't need RUclips no more !! Fulfil your broadway dreams I truly believe you personally have the ability to accomplish anything and you'll always have the support from your OGs💜💜
Dear Colleen ,
Do not leave RUclips . You probably won’t see this but it’s one person trying got make a difference . Your videos have really helped me through such a hard time in my life and I love you so much and I don’t think I could cope if there ever was a day that you said I’m quitting. Honestly gurl you’d have to wait till I’m dead to quit , or give me another way to see your content or I’ll cry a lot ... I LOVE yOU SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😘
Almost ur birthday and Christmas!
Tho I'm still a small channel, yet I truly love and appreciate every single subscriber that sticks with me and is still there tho I'm silly sometimes. Well you are inspiration to me. And even if I'm small on RUclips I feel what you feel. RUclips is making it really hard. Girl we're here for you! And we love you !

I completely understand you, Colleen. Despite me not being on RUclips back then and witnessing the kindness and support that people shared. It sounds wonderful, and I totally wish it was still like it now. Just, take some time alright? I think that's the best thing to do. I ADORE your videos and been watching them for quite a while, though the last thing I want to see is you being bored of RUclips or on the edge of quitting. Do you boo, and look after yourself!
I love Colleen's Corner!!💖💖
Kellycxx I love your icon💕

Excuse me don't leave RUclips
PcychoSoprano. Wow at least try spell her name right
so we meet again....
I've watched you since 2009 & I have seen a big shift in youtube also. As an aspiring RUclipsr with no a whole bunch of subscribers, i would love to collab with people, but even a while ago when I asked someone to collaborate they downed me and said I didn't have enough subscribers.... Anyways I'm watching you on Sunday and i'm honestly more excited than I've ever been!!! More thank all the artists I've watched! Love you Colleen!! Excited to meet you. Hope I can sing with you one day, I think you're phenomenal xxx
Colleen all your thoughts are completely understandable! I think the OGs on here would agree that RUclips has become more competitive. Personally, I love it when you make videos that YOU like not videos that are trending, bc most times trending videos are simply repetitive and don't really require much talent. I also think that you could be outgrowing RUclips. Although you've had an incredible run, I feel like you are so talented and why shouldn't you try to work towards your Broadway dream? Also, no matter what you do, I still hope that you continue to share your lives with us on here! You know your real fans will always support you no matter what you do!!

“you ask her your questions, and she replies!
her answers are lame, but at least she tries! Colleen’s Corner!”
Megan Sullivan I really wish she still did this intro!
Megan Sullivan memories !!
yesssszzzzzzzz
What videos did she have this in?
Kreative Bunny they’re in her old videos
I know exactly what you’re talking about with the RUclips creators! I can’t count how many times fellow RUclipsrs have turned me down for collabs and came back at me with statements like I’m not sure I want my channel tied to something like yours. I’ve always been the kind of person who if someone asks me to do a collab with them I get excited and ask what’s it about. I have turned some people away due to super put there skits they wanted me to do with them that I wasn’t comfortable with. Like getting naked on camera. But other than those few times I’ve always said yes to collabs. Also I feel like RUclips has reached a point where it’s extremely hard to be found in the sea of everyone else who’s creating. I had a channel back in 2010 that was flourishing and I deleted it once a creeper showed up where I lived and the police said there wasn’t anything they could do. I wish I could go back in time and tell myself younger self not to delete the videos but put them on private. Because now that I started my new channel it’s been impossible to get myself out there. I feel like all the other social medias have become so competitive with RUclips that they don’t like you promoting yourself to your friends over their social networks. I’ve been looking into newer platforms to see if there’s a new stage I can stand on that will get me what RUclips once upon a time had.
Drummond what you are saying is so true, it is very hard to get noticed! I just started my own channel which I hope will flourish! I would love it if you checked it out and subbed 💋☄
I feel like it’s so over run by the big dogs that us little ones trying to get known there’s just no chance
Yes!! I loveeee watching Collabs but now it’s super rare that people do them but I think a lot of it is just the entire internet that has shifted. Idl if that’s just me getting older and stuff or if that’s actually a thing but it seems like the internet is kind of it a weird place right now
I live for the tea honey. THANK YOU for talking about this because it doesn’t seem like many other big youtubers want to acknowledge or get serious about it. Pewdiepie talks about it sometimes I guess. Kingsley made a great vid about it recently, but it seriously needs to be addressed by more independent creators. Maybe they’re too busy tho tearing each other down for views that the community has lost its unity and voice?
