**PLEASE READ** I wanted to show you guys behind the “picture perfect” curtain that social media can have..I already know there will be a ton of hate on this but please realize I never once said RUclips is harder than any other job..I’m just sharing my story..youtube is the BEST thing to ever happen to me and I’m forever grateful..but when I started I wish I knew all of these things
AlishaMarie you are amazing
Don’t listen to them
Awwwee ily
then stop complaining please
Alisha love you lots
Did we just become best friends?
Josh Peck why do you only have 1 like
I’m so down for this! To me u were like my favourite part of this video
Mood
be my friend josh
Lol
Alisha is honestly one of the most realest influencers. She doesn’t hide things from the fans, and she strives to give us the best videos. Thank You Alisha💕
and shane dawson too!!!!!
Maddie’s Channel: Slime & More and she’s also so active with her fans!
Lessons learned. Hire editor. When vacationing- spend at least a week for yourself then a week working & shooting. Don't get SO wrapped up in your channel. Take full RUclips, social media , everything breaks every so often.
Person Who Learning to delegate is important >.< Yes, I 100% agree
U make it sound so easy 😤
I love this video !!! But being here after the manny drama ! Iam dieing watching this and learning 😂🤣 thank you so much btw i didnt get notified about this video i just now saw it so there is another thing all of us should talk about !
dying*
*Dying*
I think youtube is coming to a REAL era , and I'm kind off all about it 💕💕💕
Lolipop Lolipop ik!!!!!😂😂😂😂
I think this video is a great example of how hard people work on their videos just so people can enjoy something to watch
Clara aweso e Howard Yes so true
To anyone saying she is complaining and she has an easier job.
She never once said it was harder than any other job. She said she was great full for it and so stop the hate everyone of them said it has a pro or con.
Pearl Productions OMG THIS IS MY FAV COMMENT!!!
"great full"
@@caroliza_ lol
Thank you alien.
OMG YES THANK YOU❤️
Guys she's not saying that her job it worse that other jobs, actually it's the complete opposite she's saying how lucky she is for having this job, but that it's just not as easygoing and relaxed as everyone thinks it is and that you shouldn't be hating and saying "it's so much easier than other jobs so why are you complaining?".
Yes there are probably harder jobs, but she wasn't saying that there weren't.
OMG Thank You. People are just hating on her for just showing the struggles of her Job. Every job has their difficulties. I just hate how people jump to conclusions and not even try to see their point of view.
Thank you !!!!
OMGGGG I thought I was the only one here who LOVES Alisha and supports her in every video thank youu
THANK YOU OML SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDS!!! I don’t get y the hate.
i legit knew NONE of this.. i have so much respect for youtubers and their work ethic
This is amazing idea! 💕 I totally understand, we are all people. We all have problems.😘 Love you and I missed you.
Every job has it's own difficulties,guys
Annmary thomas but what they're trying to do is show some of those difficulties that the public just isn't aware of, but I totally agree with you.
Annmary thomas tru
Logic. These comments are rude. Their careers are just as valid as many others.
@@colorfulcodes no... Not even close to true
Influencer is not a job you don't pay taxes
Comparison is the thief of joy. Stop comparing your life and hardships to these people. Are they out of touch in some ways? Probably. But all they know is their reality and all you know is yours, and you’re both allowed to complain about facets of your life, even if you are blessed and grateful. There’s nothing wrong with a little honesty. There’s always going to be someone worse off than you are, looking at you and telling you to be grateful. We should let that humble us, but give each other room to breathe and feel how we feel.
RUclips is getting more real and real. With Alisha’s break on RUclips. Nikki’s new series. Remi opening up, Sierra opening up. The Nikki and Gabi RUclips channel is just new and better. OMG SHANE!!! His new series are the best thing ever. With his dad series, tanacon series, Trisha paytas series, Jeffree star. I’m loving all the real ness
Addy_ 7 Did forget about Grav3yardgirl??
Lol 😂 I was reading through all the ways you tube is changing and all along am like “okay but uhm... what about Shane” and then I saw the Shane part and it made my heart happy cause I love him ❤️
Addy_ 7 omg yes
Farida Akter omg totally forgot😂
Natalie Lopez sameeeee
WHEN I SAW RYLAND I SCREAMED NGL
loved the video!!
SAME AND ALSO I WATCH YOUR VIDEOS HI!!!
me too
Same sis
YA SAME
Ryland low-key representing Shane ❤️
I hate it how so many people are now starting RUclips now just to become famous and make money. I really want to start a channel but not for those reasons; I realize it’s hard work but I genuinely think I would enjoy it and have fun editing and filming videos
*“Where’s my trip? The only place I got sent is Denny’s.”* Omg I love Josh. And Everyone else. Now I know about the bats and I have such a greater understanding and appreciation for RUclipsrs now.
Katie the c00l kidd0 I love Denny’s lol 😂
I feel like people completely forget how rich she is because of youtube. She is a millionaire, if not multi millionaire. And if we as subscribers make her so rich, i think we can expect her to work hard, which she does. And like everyone who has a job, she should have some free time every year. But I still think this job is waaaay better than a lot of other jobs out there, yes its hard sometimes, but she gets sooo much money for it, other jobs are harder and people don‘t get neeeearly as much money as she does. So if you like the influencer job, then it is awesome, and she knows that. But everyone can get a crisis in their life, thats what it was...
Yes preach👏👏
I actually don't really feel sorry because these people COULD slow it down with all that success and money. It's like in other jobs, when people are successful they often want more and more and neglect their health and relationships even though they COULD take breaks and take it slower or get way more help at that point.
This video is relatable RUclips can be stressful but it can be soooo rewarding when you know you can make a positive impact on the world 🌎💕
These people are just trying to get us to understand there point of view. They aren’t complaining they are just trying to get us to understand there point of view.
this is so true, it looks so easy and fun but the reality is so hard, i started youtube 3 weeks ago and i have been feeling so stressed and overwhelmed because you feel you have to give people what they want, already 2 of my videos i dedicated a entire day plus editing just to relise it was bad, imagine that but on a larger scale, its rly hard
To me... it seems like any other job. It’s physically and emotionally draining, but at the end of the day...you get your money.
Porta um is this joke
Edit: wait I changed my mind I agree now
I think it’s a little different because their lives are so public so everyone sees when you’re drained or burnt out
this should definitely have more views!! Ive been wanting to start a channel for now 5 years but I can't even find the time or energy to post video edits or edit my instagram posts. I give a lot of credit to all you tubers out there and seeing how so many have had these breakdowns and breaks taken(James Charles, Alisha, etc) proves how stressful it can be. Yes it seems like an extremely fun job and getting to meet all these cool people even those who you've looked up to and getting once in a lifetime opportunities is amazing..but this is a behind the scenes on the process. I FREQUENTLY tell my parens.. "ohhh I don't even know if im going to go to college" or "im going to become a social media influencer and not have to do any of this work or deal with this or worrying about buying something expensive" etc.
^^but virtual hugs to anyone that actually read that..😂🤷🏼♀️
BEST video EVER, on what being an influencer is really like. Also edited in a super creative documentary-style way which made it even more interesting to watch!
I get that being an influencer is hard and you want to show that it isn't as easy as people believe it to be. I applaud that. But on the other hand I feel like you have so much more freedom being an influencer. When working in an office or doing physical labor; you only get a few days or weeks of from work and social life is a struggle. I understand that the influencers want to show the viewers it isn't as easy as it seems but don't go to far.. I mean every job has it's deadlines. If you have to give a big presentation you can alse be busy with preperations for daaaays while people only see a 15 minute presentation. That's life
MaritMarzipan I know right. Yes there is some con's to youtube and being a influencer BUT THERE ARE SO MUCH MORE PROS
But there are breakdowns as well!! Which makes things go super worse!
Many people think that making videos and earning money is easy, Alosha just wanted to prove them wrong that's it!
I’m so glad you made this video! I’ve been seeing a lot of RUclipsrs that just seem drained and burnt out and I want them to know that their mental health is number one. I wish that they could just take a look at their success and realize that they’re success is enough. It’s 100% ok to take a long break or post once in a while not everyday. RUclipsrs your health should always be #1!
Wow, I feel like a lot of people are hating in the comments.I think this was honestly a really good video. I was always wondering, whenever I watch her videos, how long it actually took to make it. Alisha, I love you so much, you are a such an inspiration, and your videos are amazing. No matter what anybody says down in the comments.
THAT INTRO OMG RYLAND JOSH LILLY IM CRYING IM SO EXCITED
Josh Peck is the comedic relief I need in my life right now
Help me develop the channel. You can go and watch my videos♥️
And sorry for spamming💕✨
I think it’s so great that you made this, because people start to understand what you guys really have to go through and it helps us understand you and feel closer to your guys xx
I'm so happy that you made this video ALISHA! Even as a SMALL CREATOR I totally understand this whole aspect of being "ON"... you start to wonder who you are and if you are good enough or "ON" enough
Girl, no. Don’t ever feel like you don’t have the right to tell your truth. I mean obvi EVERY JOB IN THE WORLD IS HARD, but what I love about this is you made the wait for this video so worth it. You’re not just BACK, you’re a new person. No pressure, but this new Alisha is damn genuine & we love it 💗
I feel like all of a sudden, all at once, the wall put up between RUclips creators and the audience is being smashed down and everybody is being much more real...I'm really loving it. Its interesting that so many honest videos like this are being posted right now (alisha, shane, niki), especially considering these videos didn't exist or were at least very rare just weeks ago. Looking forward to what's next on this platform. Great job alisha, proud of you!
Wow. Just wow. I love how real and raw this is, bless you all and thank you for your hard work
I am so proud of you. I can see this is something a lot of youtubers are not as open to talking about, and now I understand what your life and what your job is like. For everyone saying that they want "schoolisha" back, she is being honest and open with us. And she seems stronger and happier since her break. I love you Alisha and I am so proud of you!!
this is seriously so eye opening, well done. I can say even as a small youtuber w/ mediocre videos i can still spend hours and days editing/filming/uploading a video... it’s a struggle , but I love it
alex slack i love editing but sometimes its exhausting. Im full time waitress and a nursing student. RUclips is my hobby but i get so stressed!
alex slack me too I’ve been trying so hard on my video the work never ends!
Just For Fun i work so hard but ot sucks seeing only 5 views. What
Same! I’m editing my Third Makeup Tutorial and it’s hard but worth it in the end but then when I explain to some people what I’m doing they are like oh that’s easy! -.- it took a week to edit my Oogie Boogie makeup tutorial
Allie Rose's World I agree, a lot of my videos get no view so I delete them and start fresh
Loads of people on RUclips tell us how hard it is and how much we don't know about what goes on behind the camera. And I get that but they never talk about it and actually tell us what is happening. You can't expect us to understand if you don't want to share things with us. Which is why I'm so happy to see more RUclipsr's opening up to us. Keep on going with this Alisha.
Catriona omg preech love you ❤️❤️
They should film a behind the scenes look on what they do when they are not editing
I respect you so much for this Alisha for posting this. It's so needed because I feel like people barely talk about this side of being an influencer and all they ever get exposed to is the highlight real and assume everyone is in it just for the money.
thank you SO MUCH for uploading this video, obv every job has difficulties but i never knew about RUclipsrs
its so refreshing to know the real side
we appreciate your effort always
ive noticed that a lot of big youtubers have been being more authentic lately and i really appreciate it. its about time we changed the culture of youtube! love what youre doing here sis! God bless
Artonique Nelson TV its coping Shane
lupitalasmasbonita no one is copying Shane.
It’s what’s getting the views so ya remember if cutting up watermelon was what was getting the views than they would be doing that as well. It’s not authentic at all they do what gets the views Shane started this whole documentary series thing and it’s working real well so others are following.
lol
Your like the only person being nice besides me
This video is fantastic! I don’t think lots of people truly know how difficult it is to do what you guys do, I certainly didn’t. I can’t wait for this new chapter in your life! You’re amazing girl! 💜
Thank you so so so much for sharing all these perspectives and this side of youtube, I think it is soo important and I am glad you are using your voice and other content creators to raise these points!
I love this!! I think more people need to get to know how much work youtube/social media is😭😭 it’s hard but I agree with Ryland, making content that you truly enjoy and are proud of keeps you going!
I totally understand why RUclips may be hard and physically impacting, but it is your job. All jobs come with their own hardships
I feel like after Shane started posting serious videos about other people that were really in-depth, other people took after him and I’m so happy that they are. We only see the cookie cutter parts of these people’s lives, but that’s changing.
this video is so important and I highly appreciate that you were brave enough to show this side of youtube and your life
Creating videos becomes such a tricky and frustrating thing when you know you have to try and beat the algorithm. I've watched my video quality and effort go from being really creative and well put together to thinking "eh this video isn't great but I need to get something up." I've given up on my channel sooooooo many times because the videos I felt were the most creative performed so poorly. And now that literally EVERYTHING has been done, it's so much harder for creators to create. For creators like you guys, where this is your full time job, I can totally understand the level of stress this brings. I think it's important to remember why you started this all in the first place. Making videos you like. But I really appreciated this video! Thank you (:
This is so relatable, raw, and real.
I love it. 💖
Jenn'sCrazyLife i love you channel 💕💕💕
Jenn'sCrazyLife I love your mom 😂😂💗
Jenn I lovvve you
Jenn'sCrazyLife WHY ARE YOU EVERYWHERE
Literally every time u scroll down in the comments ur here but I’m not mad cause u are so unique and fabulous ❤️❤️
I appreciate what this video was trying to portray, and I think a lot of us don’t really get what it means to be a social influencer where you are constantly online pushing out content and selling yourself to brands and people to get views and promotions. That being said, I don’t know that this video was really able to get that point across. The way it was edited and the things the people said in it were choppy and it didn’t flow together. I think it would have been better to sit down with one or two of these influencers and let us hear you discuss with them in a less edited conversation the cons to your jobs. Unfortunately the way this video comes across just makes it sound like everyone is complaining. I don’t think anyone meant to, but that’s what it sounded like. We aren’t really able to grasp what the hard parts are because it jumps around too much. Hope that makes sense. I appreciate the hard work that you put into your channels and based off of what you and a lot of others have said, living on social media is almost like living a double life and that would be draining on anyone. Maybe it isn’t the same as being a doctor or working 2-3 jobs to make ends meet, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t hard, and I think it is fine to try to explain to people why you needed that break and why it can be hard to come up with content and get it out there. Anyways, I look forward to seeing more videos and I hope this comes across as constructive criticism and encouragement and not as a negative comment.
I can’t believe it took me a week to watch this, but Alisha! I’m so proud of you! I’ve been following you for such a long time and you are so strong and creative. There is like literally nothing you could do to disappoint your fans. Like you need to take your time to care for yourself as well as working stuff into your schedule. Mental health 🙏🏻 you’re great, much love. xoxo Gabe
I love your the new version of yourself. I don’t want to say that I didn’t like you before, but I appreciate what you are making now, cause I feel it’s truthfully YOU.
Any job has it good and bad parts. Just remember some people in their jobs are working ridiculous hours and do not turn off once being finished for the day, or don’t get paid for their time, or are run into the ground, physically and mentally. It’s a job, just like any other. But you’re able to feed yourself and have a roof over your head so it’s better than what a lot of people in the world have. Some people put in hours and hours of work and effort for standard pay, no rewards and certainly no trips away. Be thankful for whatever you have, always.
Hayley K exactly! Creators that are successful don’t need to worry if they have enough money to pay rent or buy food!
my nap was suspended cus you uploaded... AND I MEAN I LOVE MY NAPS, BUT I LOVE U MORE 😂💓💓
ME TO I WAS TAKING A NAP TO AND ALISHA UPLOADED
Relateble
I am soo happy you shared this with us and show us your side of the story and not just what the media blows it up too and tell us the truth!
Finally someone is showing us the other side of things. This is really hard to do, and I really appreciate it. Ur a real true, down-to-earth person Alisha, and thats why I love you. Thank you Alisha.
I get that being a youtuber is hard because it is time consuming and there's a lot of pressure to get the numbers you want/need. However, when I think of students that get out of bed at 7 am, go in class for hours, study all night long for exams, get stressed about grades, sleep deprived, work part-time or full-time, can't take days off, don't make 1/4 of the money that an influencer makes, I realize that this video could have been made for any career or any situation. If you compare the incomes and benefice of being an influencer VS the incomes and benefice of most jobs based on the sacrifices, efforts and energy put into the work, you, influencers are in a pretty good place.
sarah Coming from a med student in India I Couldn't have put this point better myself👏👏👏
I literally cried and said Alisha's back and I couldn't be any happier I just words cannot describe my emotions
aaawwww
Army
Ohhh an ARMY watching alisha's video (i'm also an army)
aww you stan kyla !!
jeselyn bala hehe of course!!❤️✨
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO! It is so real and thank you for going through the hours of footage for 2 angles for each conversation. It is so well done and flows so well. Thank you!
A really informative video for people that are trying to be youtubers and influencers!
I totally get that there is a lot of behind the scenes stuff that we don’t see, but this isn’t the only job that takes an insane amount of work, or the only job that people loose nights of sleep over or have to make sacrifices for. And for pretty much everyone else, they can’t just take 3 months off whenever they want to.
I love this new Alisha content ✨✨❤️❤️❤️
Ya
This is not the comeback I was expecting but I loveeee you are amazing!
This video MADE MY DAY!!!! I feel this way and I'm NOWHERE NEAR where you and the others are. If I haven't uploaded in 2 days I'm like going over and over in my mind of what's next and I feel like I need to upload NOW!!... This was very informative, and so eye-opening!! Thanks for doing this!
This video probably took alot of time editing 😅
Giselle Hamilton omg I never thought about that
Giselle Hamilton Oh my gosh. My thoughts throughout the ENTIRE thing!😅
Dhjsgsbskgshsh alisha liked my comment !!!!!!!!
Thank you Alisha for giving us a perspective of you creators, and we can recognize the hard work y'all put into making content. BUT you tubers can choose to take breaks, in other jobs you can't just freely stop and tell your boss "I'm gonna rest for a few months, but when I come back (whenever that is) it'll be like that never happen and I'll still get paid." A lot of jobs effect your time and relationship more than you’d want. So ya'll have the option to take breaks and can’t actually get fired. You also basically need zero education to be a youtube star, and you can decide when you upload or when something is due. Other jobs you need to studying get a degree, and then get hired, and then someone else (like a boss) gives you a deadline of when things are due. I understand being "self employed" is hard and you need to be disciplined, but the pressure is way worse. (TBH we really don't care if you upload a day late, and you won't get in trouble if you do.) These are just a few examples, and all I'm trying to say is, y'all have it WAYYYYY better then some people do. Thank You for reading my rant.
I loved this video! I've recently been thinking about starting a youtube channel and I think that videos like this are so needed. Especially from people who are such big influencers. So glad you're back!!
Yess please show us what no one else talks about... this helps me as I have a passion for making videos and love reaching out to people!
This couldn't be more real and true, thank you for showing the reality of behind the scenes in such a fun and creative way! Power to you girl!!
Tara Michelle hiii Tara!!!
Tara Michelle I love you Tara! 😘😍❤️
Omg!! Love u
Help me develop the channel. You can go and watch my videos♥️
And sorry for spamming💕✨
I love you so much and I understand calls pain and suffering emotionally. I am to a youtube like y'all but I have been suicidal and gone through a lot of depression and y'all have gotten me through all of that and I am more stable than before so thank you. Y'all mean so much to me so please promise me y'all will not stress yourselves out and give up.
This is so true, RUclipsrs do so much and have so many different skills and they do it pretty much all by themselves. People watch RUclips like they watch TV shows but shows have so many people working on them, you can tell by the credits at the end. They have producers, writers, make up people, lighting, sound, camera people, directors, marketing, editors, etc and youtubers do all that and more by themselves, I can't even imagine the level of pressure to post weekly let alone couple times a week, also most people get weekends off to recharge but youtubers work 7 days a week
i love when you post videos like this, it really gives us different perspectives
Thank you for this video, Alisha. I really enjoy it. I love your transparency. I love that you went on to talk about what other RUclipsrs won’t talk about. I understand all that you talk about. I hope that you are able to do more videos like this one. I’ve watched it several times. Thanks again!
Editing this video must have been hard too
Janidelf Rodriguez for real! It was so good
this was so interesting! Woah I learned a lot honestly!
Alisha with the best ideas yes!
This is such a great video. I find it amazing that you made this video to let your audience know that being an "influencer" is not an easy job that everyone thinks it is. I obviously dont understand how hard it is on you but I know and appreciate on how hard you work in your videos and social media. I sometimes get jealous of how yall get to do all these amazing things and go on all these cool trips but I know yall put in a lot of hard work to be able to do all of these things. So Thank you for everything you do and keep being you. Love you Alisha!
"Yeah you can make money, but it takes so long." I feel this so hard😂😂
Omg Shay Mitchell and josh peck 😂💗👏🏼
celeste hernandez Emily and josh
As someone who’s watched videos for years and now makes his own videos. What you see is defo 30% compared to what goes on behind the scenes
I love you Alisha and i love all of the work that you have done and still do. BUT this video right here just might be my favorite video you've ever done. THANK YOU! This is honest, REAL, raw, and RELATABLE! I am seriously so grateful. Whether someone is as big of an influencer as you or on a small (micro-influencer) scale, it's still hard/similar.
Regardless, of the hate that you are receiving, please don't ever take this down!
As someone who is trying to start their own channel for a creative outlet and a hobby I LOVEEEEE THIS VIDEO! I honestly didn’t know how much work goes into it, nor did I know you need a team. Amazing! Keep making vids like this!!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE. So thankful you made a video about this. Keep killin' it girl!!
Yaaas! THIS is the quality content i paid for!
B.U.M. Monroe Paid?
Lil Piggy (pun intended) like stayed for or subscribed
B.U.M. Monroe lol you paid for RUclips?
Alpha Luna metaphor
B.U.M. Monroe did u pay for this?
I loved this video so much!!!!!! It is nice to hear what it is really like to be a RUclipsr. I have to admit that I have thought that it seemed so easy to do. Now that I have watched this and heard all the things that you and Remi have talked about on Pretty Basic, I now know that it is a hard job to do. Thank you for making this video and making people see how hard it really is.
Oh my gosh.... it’s SHAY & JOSH 😭🙏🏻😍❤️ youguys are serious goals!! I can’t wait to be where youguys are! Omg seriously dreaming, visioning, and planning for the day. Speaking it into existence right now 🙌🏻🙏🏻
(No hate)💗💗 I totally understand this, and ya’ll work sm which i appreciate! It’s hard, but that’s how it is for most people. Some people work all day, maybe doesn’t get payed as much as they should. They don’t get free vacations, free makeup ad clothes. Ik it’s a lot of work! And ya’ll put so much into it. But normal people deal with these things too. They can’t just take a break. Cause then they’ll get fired..
Maria G exactly!!
CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS STYLE OF EDITING THO!!!!!!👏🏻👏🏻💕💖
THIS IS SO GOOD
I'm so happy Alisha made this kind of video to show us what it's like
And it's so cool she contacted other youtubers!!
It was so refreshing to see a new type of video
I literally spend a week editing my videos and mine are not edited well AT ALL 😂😂 I can't even imagine your guys' editing process
MySweetCreationz i love uploading and editing but it can be exhausting! I subscribed and i hope you check out mine :)
You nailed this video. Thank you for taking the time to create this and all of the people in it. You guys are awesome. Great video love ❤️
Holy shit... I obviously wouldn’t call myself a youtuber at this time but I’ve tried and I really thought I understood more than I actually do. I’m blown away. Never seen a video like this, way to go Alisha. Thank you queen.
Tati uploads 5 times a week every single week the others can take a seat
annou f and has literally NEVER missed a video
I love how real this video is 💛
This is quality ‘content’ that has helped me to massively understand what all of my idols are going through everyday. My idols are in this video and I have always wanted a life like them, but now I’m kinda second guessing... but this is still my dream so I’m going to stick to it☺️
Wow . Alisha after this video I now see how much hard work you and other you tubers put in your videos . As I watch this , I now understand how stressful being a RUclipsr can be . I'm thankful for people like you that share the truth to there viewers , because you love us so much . I love you Alisha , thanks for this. 😘❤️👍🏼
*I love this so much because of how raw it is.* I have been watching you since before you had a million subscribers and I remember thinking that you deserved so many more subscribers because your video editing skills were mad❤️ I've been so inspired by you and although my editing skills aren't nearly as good as yours I am always trying to improve the best I can and learn. This video is one truly needed on the internet🙌🏼
Lea Heart love alisha 💞
Allie Rose's World love her so much❤️
i honestly love alisha so much and i think it was interesting to see the other side of this but i disagree with so much of what she said. yeah, i understand that it can be difficult and that people expect a lot from you. but honestly youtubers have it so much better than so many other occupations. not everyone can just take breaks whenever they want (while still making a ton of money!), get a BUNCH of free stuff, go on fully paid trips, etc etc. some people work twice as long and twice as hard and don’t make nearly as much as youtubers do. i just don’t think it’s right for youtubers to complain when they can just take a break and, although there will be haters, most of their fans DO understand. i read the comments on Alisha’s videos where she said she’d be taking a break, and SO many of the comments were super positive. people are more understanding than youtubers give them credit for, and they can just take a break whenever they need! while still making money!
i’m not saying thinking of video ideas and editing and all that stuff is easy. i know it’s not and i’m not saying i could do it. but it’s THEIR choice to pursue this career. if they don’t want to, go to college and get a degree in something they’re passionate about. but instead some (not all! a lot are really grateful!) complain about how hard it is when they have it infinitely better than most people.
Alisha and other youtubers have the right to talk about their careers! They aren’t complaining as they are very thankful for the job BUT it’s not about free trips and free stuff. They have a difficult job and it’s a lot of work. I was actually just talking about my job and I was having a what the hell am I doing with my life moment? It’s normal to talk about their careers and are you a RUclipsr? You don’t know how “easy it is. We’re all humans and they have feelings about their careers. I personally learned a lot about their careers. I think people are just so sensitive now at days about everything. It’s just as stressful as any job and I’m glad they shared about alll the hard work that goes into it. Really enjoyed this video! Excited for more of her content. Let’s be supportive of Alisha and this journey she’s going on. She’s being open and honest about her life and I love it!
Zae Whitman yeah i agree with you! i’m definitely not saying it’s easy, i know it’s not. i just think they should understand that most of the time, their fans are very supporting if they need a break or something. although there’s always gonna be haters, their true fans with stick with them through the tough times. i know it can’t be easy to put your whole life on the internet, i just don’t think they get that that’s THEIR choice. if they truly wanted to stop they could go get another job. most people with a 9-5 job can’t just take a two month break whenever they want, which is alright because the people that choose those jobs understand that. i just wish youtubers would see that they have it better than many other occupations. i’m not saying it’s easy in general, but it’s easier than other jobs
melina rose I understand what you’re saying but I think it’s wrong to try to tell people how they should feel about their own job. Yes their true fans will stick with them but it’s still hard to leave. And they could stop but it’s their passion and they love it. They aren’t saying “our jobs are so much harder than everyone else’s” they’re just simply talking about it. Like I said they can talk about their job if they want. I just don’t think everyone should be taking this very seriously. I’m a college student and the only thing I do is go to school. I’m very thankful that I don’t have to work. Does that mean I can’t talk about how stressful school is and stuff? I had a summer job so I just recently was talking about how stressful that was. It’s literally no different it’s jus because they’re youtubers they shouldn’t talk about their jobs because they can talk off for a whole month? Yes that’s a privilege but again that doesn’t mean that they don’t have feelings about it.
I am so proud of all of you to talk about it. Thanks for this video ❤️❤️
Now I’m not mad that when no videos are being uploaded because I can’t imagine how much work it is thanks for all your vids I love all of them ily!
THIS!! RUclips definitely comes with so many undisclosed ups and downs for both small and larger creators.
omg I love your videos SpencerSteelman! It's so eye opening to see just how many youtubers deal with all this in order to create a video for their subs. But everyone in this video and you make AWESOME videos!👍
Congrats on wassabi contest!
This is one of the best videos she’s made! This is amazing!😍
already loving this new change for your channel! very inspiring, original, and unique! your editing has definitely improved too! you rock, alisha :)
Wow I really loved this video! I think this video is so valuable and a lot of people would gain a lot from watching this. I admired youtubers for years before starting my own channel and no one prepared me for how much work it is! Of course I'm glad to do it because I love it, but I had nooooo concept for how much work every step of the process is. Thanks for sharing this!
