Unless you are a creator, you don't understand. We get so much hate, even death threats.
I does take a special kind of person to be able to ignore this onslaught literally daily. This is why so many Youtube creater have to either quit or they take a break for "mental wellbeing".


--- Quote ---Even so, if abuse is your fear, youtube is not any different: a few years ago I commented exactly this in one of her videos (diversify in other platforms such as Odysee) only to be shut down, dissed and cussed by other commenters.

Correct, Youtube is no different, in fact it's worse given the volume. Fran admitted she had to delete a ton of comment every day. She then got some mods to help her out, but I think now she's back to doing it herself. Odysee is actually a safer platform because of the "slime" feature. If enough people "slime" (thumbs down) a comment then they get hidden to the creator so you don't accidently see them. You can specifically click on then to see them. But I couldn't convince Fran of this benefit.

She's dealing with a lifetime of grave personal problems and everyone ignoring this needs to get off his progressive kool-aid.
(I hope this comment is not too out of line for what appears to be the official unsolicited advice thread :P)

Sure, understandable, but unfortunately you don't get ahead in life and improve your situation by dwelling on this and making it your focus. It's basic life advice and success stuff when it comes down to it, you improve your life and succeed by taking active measures to improve your sitation and help yourself long term.

Right now I'm staring at a listing for a 70sqm office that's relatively cheap in the building that has my bunker. These places rarely come up and I'm deciding if I should take a gamble and buy it which could potentially benefit me in the future. e.g. if I decide to expand again with another employee or whatever.  :-\
EDIT: Bugger it, I'm off to poke my head in the window now...

The death threats are strange to me, I could almost understand it (not excuse it) if the content were highly controversial, but for technical stuff? That's just crazy. Must be a lot of mentally unwell people out there in the world and it only takes a few.

I am a creator (albeit small) and had my share of this.

I don't doubt that. Diversifying is always a good move anyway.

Not exaggerating when I say 5 minutes work 4 years ago could have possibly netted her 10's of thousands of dollars and a large audience on an alternative platform.
