As a member of the youtube guru audience, and subscriber to style blogs & vlogs... I've grown hyper-aware of the mass amounts of negativity out there on the interwebs, and I guess I just have a short rant to share:
So much negativity, bullying, bashing, complaining, nit-picking goes on it's shocking! There's people who want to know every thing about you, and people who will make information up when you keep your personal life personal, and people– when you open yourself up and share yourself, then question your authenticity and accuse you of being fake. And then there's people who pay attention to you to only critique your every move, or to enter a giveaway (even though they openly criticize you), or to complain when they don't win and bash you some more. And then there's the people who are so nosey as to how exactly you profit from partnerships, affiliations, etc. and again, when they don't know all the details they take it upon themselves to make up facts, and additionally judge you for making a living off of clicks, subs, comments and site visits; completely ignorant to the fact that a guru's time and effort that goes into videos and tutorials is specifically for those in the audience who genuinely enjoy tuning in, and for themselves.
It's appalling the masses of people who dedicate so much of their time to be so critical, for no other reason than to be critical and express an opinion. To each their own I suppose, but to me the appropriate way to approach a personality, twitter account, youtube channel or blog you don't exactly jive with is to just not subscribe or follow and find one that speaks to you and your personal style. Wouldn't you rather spend your life enjoying something vs. feeling as though you wasted your time?
I know I would, but again that's just my humble outlook on things.
