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".
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.
Of course there are crazies out there and I also suspect that any IRL threats that Dave receives are not for the technical part of his content.
It's 2023, what rock are you living under?
Then imagine that there are people whose whole nature is politicized and weaponized to an extent that it it's impossible to separate themselves from bullshit and drama if they wanted to.
That's not something that even Dave has to deal with, and as I said, things are only getting crazier with no end in sight at this point.
You have to have thick skin on the internet.
Yes, and there are distinct populations known for their infamously thin skins.
Maybe not a thread for what I think about it, but I got used to it and now I just roll my eyes at those still in denial.
I guess it's back to what I posted last year: you pay for the way this content is done, or bye.
I actually checked out that channel yesterday and saw titles like "getting tired" and "life after YouTube", well...
Being Internet Famous is maybe not the first priority of everyone.
