responding to hate comments

It's a new vlog, a new vlog.

Hold on, I haven't done this before.

Wait, let me show you what's happening.

You're up there on top of my computer.

It's bloody freezing out there, so

hopefully you won't mind if I make the

vlog in my room today.

Hold on. I need to start recording.

So what are we talking about today? Um,

the comment, the, uh, lovely comment by

Mr. YT.

Also, this gives me a good opportunity to

test out the Windows screen recorder,

which I haven't tried out yet. If only I

saw Andy's comment. I didn't know you

could press Windows and then G And there's

a bloody built-in screen recorder for

Windows. I went ahead and bought Bandicam

for £30. I just wasted the £30.

Couldn't get a refund because I had

already activated the registration key.

It says after you've entered the key, you

can't get a refund. So that was a waste

of money, wasn't it? Okay,

let's go into comments. So I came home

last night and, um, there was just a load

of comments on, on that video. What was it

responding to? Dealing with hate comments.

So let's see what our lovely commenter had

to say. It, it wasn't a hate

comment. Are you that stupid? He starts

off his new comment by calling me stupid

and then he says it's not a hate comment.

It obviously was a hate comment. Where was

the first one?

Let's get to it. Let's get to it. Here it

is. Yeah, his first comment was

very long. I'm not sure if you've seen it

yet, but he basically said that he can't

watch any more of my autistic rambling.

Nice, insulting autistic people, which is

a brain disorder. It's not very nice, is

it? And then

he calls my channel shit, and yet he says—

he also said he's been watching all of my

vlogs. And he says I'm retarded for

rambling on about how DST must be

scrapped. Retard, you really are— you

really an awful kid.

And then he says, you're really a kid,

Suck a big one, loser. And then he says,

that's not a hate comment. Sorry, but how

is that not a hate comment? It is very

clearly a hate comment when you say such

hateful things. So what does

he say in his new comment? I'm a longtime

viewer of your channel and I've watched

nearly all your vlogs.

Thank you, thank you for watching nearly

all my vlogs. I'm very happy about that.

But it just baffles me. You obviously

think I'm very stupid and I'm making all

the wrong life decisions with my life,

and still you watch all my videos even

though you, you clearly don't enjoy the

kind of videos that I'm making. You say,

your vlogs are all the same. Oh, I'm Dan,

inserts random autistic rant here. Should

I buy this? Should I sell this? Where's

the mailman? I've missed the mailman rant

about impossibility of mail delivery.

That's true, I do rant a lot about the

mailman, and I do buy a lot of stuff, and

sometimes I return stuff. That's, that's

the whole reason why Amazon has returns,

so you can return stuff.

I haven't done a video like that for a

while, actually. The mailman has been very

good. He leaves the parcel outside my

house now. Um,

what else does he say? I'm lonely, I want

a girlfriend. Yeah, that's true. I don't

say that in every video. I think I made

like a couple of videos where I've said

that I'm lonely. I'm pretty

sure I've never made a video saying I want

a girlfriend. Should I make that for my

next video? Wouldn't that be funny? My

next video could be I want a girlfriend.

I'm 27, male, living in the UK. I enjoy

long walks in the evening. I like sci-fi

movies. YouTube isn't a dating website.

Well, why not? It could be a dating

website. You know, some of these dating

websites, they charge you like— they

charge you like £10 a month just to

receive mails from other members.

Just go on YouTube, make a video.

Explaining what kind of person you are,

what kind of person you're looking for.

Why not? You might find someone.

I'm not interested in talking to people.

That's true. It depends. If I find them

interesting, then I would be interested in

talking to them. If, if I sense that

they're obviously not interested in the

things that I'm interested in, then I find

it very difficult to talk to them. I mean,

I can't talk to them about my hobbies if

they're not interested. Or if they have no

idea what I'm talking about, then it feels

like I can't talk about those things.

For example, my manager at work, she keeps

saying that I'm so quiet, why don't I talk

about stuff? Like, she asks me about

YouTube sometimes, like, how about

YouTube? Anything interesting happening?

Not really. I haven't really watched

YouTube for a few days now. Nothing really

interesting has happened. And even if I

did start talking about YouTube to her,

She's not gonna understand a word I'm

saying, is she? It's like she was talking

about cars to the Nepal guy the other day.

They were just talking for ages about— I

don't even understand anything about cars,

so you start talking about cars, I'm just

completely lost. I don't understand a word

What else did he say? I'm not even going

to bother to watch what you have to say as

I have stopped wasting my time watching

this shit. And yet he's watched my latest

video where I talked about his comment,

and he must have watched the whole video

because I only talked about the comment he

left right at the end of that long-ass

video, the 27-minute video. So you

obviously are watching my videos, and I'm

pretty sure you're gonna be watching this

video as well. Are you watching now? I bet

you're watching now. And then I bet

you're gonna say Well, you titled the

video something related to me, so

obviously I'm gonna watch your video, you

autistic retard.

Let's see what the comments are. I'm very

happy some of you have come to my defense,

but you shouldn't waste too much time on

him, really. I might just

ban him from commenting soon because he's—

I don't mind if he's insulting me, but

He's insulting some of you as well, and

that's just— it's not on. YT, no need to

be mean towards him. If you don't like his

content, then suggest a way he could

change it, not just state the obvious.

Also, 4 people have liked his comment,

including me for some reason. I could give

him a like. 3 people have liked his

comment, so at least one of them might

have been— one of the likes might have

been him. So at least 2 people liked his

comment. Who's liking his comment? You

can't like his comment. You've got to

dislike it like this. Anyway,

yeah, if you don't like the content, you

can suggest ways how you would like me to

change it or give me some suggestions.

I'm open to constructive criticism, but

the way you express yourself, the way you

write, the way you talk to people when

you're not happy about things is so

There's so much anger. There's so much

immaturity. In your first comment, you

were calling me an autistic kid.

But look at your comment. Look at the way

how you write. You just look like a little

15-year-old the way you talk. There's ways

to express your opinion in a positive

adult way, and there's your way of

expressing your opinion, which is just

like A 13-year-old.

Internet trolls, internet trolls. So I

don't really think of you as an internet

troll. Like, some people just leave really

negative comments, like just a few lines,

just pure insults, like they don't have

anything else to say. And it's obvious

that's trolling. But this guy, I see

you've taken time to write a long comment.

And yeah, I, I know you've been watching

my videos for

a long time because— where was it? Like

you say, I do have views from the

Netherlands. I have about 1.7% watch time

from the Netherlands.

Look on the stats, see, there's a view for

the Netherlands on every video, and I

doubt another Dutchman is as brain-dead as

me to watch an autistic kid rant about the

stupidest things. And yet you're still

watching all my videos when you don't like

them, and it's clearly making you angry.

So why are you watching all my videos?

Usually people just watch one video of

mine and then they've figured out if they

like my content or if they like me or not,

and then they just stop watching. That if

people don't like my videos or they don't

like me, they don't watch all my videos

and then make a huge ranting comment that

they hated my videos. You just stop

watching my videos after one video if you

don't like it. So I hate EastEnders.

I've watched EastEnders a few times and

it's just terrible garbage. I don't watch

EastEnders every day and then make a huge

rant about how much I hate EastEnders.

That would just be stupid. Why put

yourself through that torture? Okay, now

we're going to go into analytics. We're

going to have a look at Netherlands, see

if there are other people from the

Netherlands watching my videos. How do I

do it? Top geographies.

Go down, go down. We've actually

got Taiwan on the list. Do you think— do

you think my old Taiwan friend is still

watching my videos? That'd be really

awkward, the amount of shit I've said

about her. I don't even know if she

understands what I'm saying most of the

time. Her English is just so poor. I'm

pretty sure she isn't understanding what

I'm saying. So here we go, Netherlands.

1.7% of watch time is coming from the

Netherlands. It's really difficult to say

that country. The Netherlands.

Let's click on it.

Oh, I feel so energetic right now. I feel

great. I woke up at 3 PM,

just felt so energetic. Today's my

last day and then we've got 2 days off.

It feels so nice to come to the— come to

the end of a week, especially this week

since it's been so long. I had to work 6

days. My usual 5 because I have to cover—

anyway, enough of that. So we're

on the Netherlands. Netherlands. So this

is what your country looks like. You know,

I don't actually know where the

Netherlands is on the world map. I know my

geography is terrible.

So what are we doing? We need to find

that, uh, what was it, the bar chart?

No, we need demographics. Oh,

here we go, here we go. Demographics for

Netherlands. Netherlands, I need to

pronounce that properly. So last

28 days, no lifetime. Wow,

I think we've found him. So you're not the

only— you're not the only guy from the

Netherlands watching my videos. There are

other brain-dead people from the

Netherlands watching me. Sorry to take

that away from you, but we've got females,

we've got 65-year-olds, we've got 55

to 64-year-olds, 45 to 54-year-olds,

and the largest one by far is this one,

which I'm guessing is you, Mr. Whitey.

Male, 39%, 25 to 34-year-old.

Um,

It's interesting.

So what else we can look at? I forgot

what— why we came here.

So yeah, so I'm pretty sure this is you

because this hat is such a large bar,

such a large amount of watch time. And

since you say you've watched every video,

then That must mean that yours

is the largest.

See what else we can see. You can see so

much information on YouTube Analytics,

it's kind of scary.

So I could probably even tell what device

you were using to watch my videos.

Devices for Netherlands.

Oh, look at this bar chart. Oh, it's not—

I mean graph. Oh, we've got bar charts as

well. Computer and mobile phone. So you're

probably watching me on your computer,

49%. 37% mobile phone.

TV, 3.3%. Who's watching me on a TV?

I find it very strange. That some people

watch YouTube on a massive TV. I watch

YouTube on my phone. If I want to watch a

nice film or like a,

a proper TV show that's professionally

produced, then I'd watch it on my TV. But

I wouldn't watch a YouTube video on my TV.

Computer.

I can even see the operating system.

Windows 64% Macintosh, 35% Linux.

Oh, poor Linux, only 0.3%.

Even I've been converted. I used to be a

Linux guy. Now Windows 10 is just so much

better. It just feels good to use. It

feels like a well-made piece of, piece of

kit. Linux just feels really like someone

scrapped it together in their garage, in

their basement.

I don't really know what we're looking at

now. I've kind of lost focus and

my computer's like lagging, slowing down.

So let's have a look.

I've gotten so much negativity on that

video, HTC 10. A huge disappointment.

People don't seem to agree with me that

having beauty effects on camera video mode

is very important. Oh no, sharpness and

detail, how horrible. A camera that works

properly. Sensing a little bit of sarcasm

there.

Yeah, I get. Okay, let's go back to Mr. Y

T's comment. I'm telling you to man the

fuck up and stop with what you're doing.

Yeah, I get that. He's kind of— I get that

he's kind of fed up seeing me talk about,

moan about the same things over and over

again. And I do

make a bit of— I do make a lot of

questionable life choices sometimes, and I

can kind of get the feeling that he just

wants me to stop complaining and man up

and get on with

life, I guess, but I

do find it very interesting.

It is a shame that you don't feel like you

want to watch my videos anymore, but

seriously, if it's making you this angry—

if it's making you this— sorry about the

shaking, I'm just moving. If it's making

you this angry, then I suggest that maybe

it's not such a good idea to continue

watching. Videos. You can feel free to

come back anytime. You're always welcome.

But yeah, why, why have you been watching

all of my videos if you don't like them?

I'd really like to know.

I think that was all I had to say.

Yeah,

this will be an interesting video to edit.

I've never made a video where it's been

like screen recording and then also video

as well overlaid on top, but you can

actually do video overlays on my video

editing app, which is quite, quite cool.

Yeah, I need to make my, um, I need to

make my Witcher 3 video now, so let's end

this video. And yeah,
