I got my first comment telling me to go kill myself. yet i fill like i hit a milestone because of it. I don't know why but it made me so happy like i am now a somebody because I am worth hatting is that odd it's odd isn't it.
Honestly it's true. The first ever hate comment I got on my videos roughly coincided with the time my channel started growing a lot more quickly. It still sucked at the time though. I remember when I first started both my first ever dislike and my first unpleasant comment felt pretty bad to receive at the time - after a few though I realised it was just a normal thing for any growing channel, and now I actually get a good laugh out of some of them.
One thing I will say though, if you didn't already, click the comment and select "Hide user from channel" - that prevents them from commenting any more, but more importantly, if you leave the comment there, it gives the impression that you welcome such comments and gets more people to leave hate.
