Hey sweets I’ve been watching this series daily and have been watching your videos since the rainworld video and this is going to be a longer comment then usual so my bad, but I think the more this series goes the more my parasocial bond to you actually disconnects. You are clearly young in age with privilege and while it’s not your fault, I would be lying if it didn’t start to make you unlikeable with some of these lectures that have went from lighthearted conversations to now talking down from a point of superiority. A lot of creators, ironically even of the ones you mentioned like Emma and isa ( checked him out and he makes amazing videos ) both will rant about insecurities, hardships, and relatable topics that make them appealing to me. A real aspect of life is the hardships of not having everything together, or struggling with motivations, or working that annoying job while wanting to achieve something better. And the contrast to them from you is that I come out of these videos feeling bad and worse about myself while there’s tend to make me inspired. Your rant about personas annoyed me because it’s you admitting that this isn’t an improvised thing and you might just genuinely be arrogant. I understand wanting to discuss your mind but most of these rants come off as a kid who has it together explaining why he’s better then you at a younger age with greater recourses while “you kinda suck and don’t have it together like me” I’m happy you are consistent and work on something everyday, and go to the gym everyday, but you seriously lack humanity in some ways that hold you back from the people that even your inspired by, and in a way I think that’s where your immaturity is starting to really show. It kinda makes me wish this was a persona. A guy trying really hard to keep up momentum and inspire himself rather then just being self absorbed. I wish you would speak on insecurities and real things because at the moment this reliance on composer and lectures from a point confidence just makes you not relatable which I’m hoping is disingenuous. I find the thing enjoyable about all small artist is relatable aspect of being in the same boat while not understanding everything or having the answers while just trying there best to get on the other end of it. Which is funny because even successful people will still keep those aspects of relatability because of where they came from, a great example is a comedian named Theo Von where even at a high standing point he still just talks like a normal person who struggles with identity and will say things that just really get to me and he’s past the point of just trying to make it. Even more closer to home channels like theweeklyslap manage to understand people more while having no face cam and call of duty footage [which is also ironic given your rant about faceless content being less Parasocial which was also arrogant and snarky] if you are just arrogant by nature my bad it will make you really successful. But at the moment you don’t come off wise and inspiring like old philosophers or seasoned vets at their craft, but more of an arrogant egotistical un relatable prodigy that wants to constantly remind you of how much he has it all together. You are still really young, but the more you close doors in these convos and lecture I find myself second guessing what you are really saying then just taking it in, my 2 cents. I don’t go to the gym everyday and constantly find myself in slumps of sadness so what do I know.
You're 100% right in several ways. I am speaking from a place of IMMENSE privilege and no small amount of arrogance (that comes with the job). I have been incredibly blessed in terms of where and how I was born. But in SOME ways I can also speak from a place of genuine authority. Especially when it comes to things like consistency in content creation. That's just something that I DO know more about than most people as someone who has an above average size following. Some of the stuff I talk about in this video are just facts. You say that my thing about faceless youtubers having a harder time building those parasocial relationships is "arrogant and snarky" but that's just a thing that we as creators (people much larger than me) know and talk about. I know these things and have had these conversations because of what I've done and made. I'm not an expert, but I have knowledge that someone who's looking for a place to start can benefit from. TheWeeklySlap is actually a great example of what I'm talking about in that part of the video because it's Jschlatt, who built his initial channel on having an incredibly bombastic and exaggerated version of himself which made people relate to him despite the lack of showing his face. I didn't say it's impossible, but you have to go to much greater lengths to stand out, and that's exactly what Schlatt did. Maybe you want me to be more insecure and less composed because it would help you relate to me more, but that's just not how I compose myself, even to my friends. I don't talk about those things because I don't know how to deal with them, and I don't see the point in making an entire video rambling about what it's like to be sad or anxious. People already know that, they don't need me to tell them. If it's serious they should see people who are medically qualified to talk about those things and not a 20 year old RUclipsr. Like I say in the video, I got dumped a few months ago, people who want to hear about Bloodborne or Fear & Hunger don't want me to break down about how depressed I am in the middle of the video. But that's also the point of this video, I don't know if I have that wall in the right place and I should let more of that stuff out. I am by no means someone who has everything together, but I enjoy teaching people and giving advice, and there's nothing to be learned from a guy who seems insecure about what he's saying. I'm no prodigy, far from it, I fail about 99% of the time. But I've got some wins, I wanna go based on those. Maybe this will come across as arrogant too, but it keeps me protected and lets me help others. I show my anxieties and insecurities to the people I love. My friends, my family, and my community. If you want a taste of that you can read my poetry lol. There's no way for me to end this with a "thank you" without sounding condescending, but Thank You. You were incredibly polite and honest with your perspective, people have given me much lesser critiques with much harsher words and I genuinely appreciate that.
