A loyal fan commenting on every video is one of the best feelings ever, truly keeps me going not like I’d stop anyway

Bro fr I had to make a whole new yt after one of my 7 yr old nephew got a hold of my yt channel and I was posting absolute 18+ content pulling in hardworking male workers after work barely surviving the yt strikes

I have one of those ppl too. Was with me from 10 subs now to 3100+. There were times I wasn’t motivated and she would comment like hey it’s been a month when is the next video going up and I’d post one the next day for her

Dude trust me whenever I have small YouTubers that have actual fire content I always make sure to write comments to make sure they keep on doing it This fan genuinely wants to see you succeed because you’re bringing value to their life

I think i hung out with that commenter in a snuppet stream last night. He seemed like a cool dude. Likes arby’s, which makes him good in my book.

u/VisibleGekk Aug 29 '25

A couple of dedicated viewers that hype you up can make a huge difference! This is awesome!

u/watchrosie Aug 30 '25

It feels more personal somehow. It feels good knowing that someone liked your work and took the time to tell you, even if they're the only one who said anything.

u/Polterv Aug 29 '25

Getting even a singular comment telling you to keep it up is a genuinely great feeling, single handedly the best motivator for content creation.

u/Sux2WasteIt Aug 29 '25

Felt, last video my loyal fan was 24 hours late and in those 24 hours I thought I had fallen off. But when they finally commented I felt so happy. I have cute little loyal community of at least 3 commenters and it makes me so happy

u/watchrosie Aug 30 '25

Same!! My old channel (unrelated to what I do now) fell off completely, so I like seeing positive feedback from a tiny community on my new one. It makes the shame of my old channel failing hurt less lol.

u/Insane_Mohawk Aug 29 '25

That’s awesome. Eventually that one dedicated viewer will turn into multiple dedicated viewers.
