Anddd i got my first hate comment

I totally get that. It can really hurt when you're excited about a video and everyone reacts poorly to it. I did a video about Gary Johnson and a lot of people reacted angrily. I don't know why that surprised me, though...
But, you have multiple options:
(1) You can ban them from your channel
(2) You can engage with them
 
So as you can see from the title some little kid commented on one of my videos tonight.. it was only one comment on one of my very first videos but damn its a horrible feeling all that time and effort just crumbled into one comment :(

I know how u feel people been making fun of me for having 9 fingers ever since elementary school but you gotta learn that it just words they dont know who u really are like a month ago theres this youtuber called Lance Stewart who almost lost his pinky by playing Real Life Friut Ninja so i comment down on Facebook where he also upload the video telling him that im a big fan and that i lost my pinky by doing something stupid with a picture of me showing my four fingers and boy did that comment got alot of likes and alot of mix hate/love comments most talk about how long my fingers are or that it's fake or that im an stupid idiot but it doesnt matter what they think or say cuz i know who i am and what i say is true even if they don't believe me or not
 
I think since its my first hate comment its got me a bit down but it aint gonna stop me from uploading :) i replied to the guy in the comments and basically just saod thanks for the feedback and told him to have a great day .... probably not the reaction he wanted haha life goes on

That's basically the best way to respond ever. If you just respond politely and move on you'll feel way better in no time and they'll be miffed that you didn't take the bait. Next best is to do like someone else said and just troll them back. Just make sure that you are having fun with it and not becoming emotionally involved otherwise they still win.

Those comments hurt, but don't mind em ^_^ I and a friend actually get amused with those, but that's maybe because we're both trolls lol

My dear friend, you can't satisfy everyone. No matter how much effort you put into your videos there will always be someone who won't like them. There practically exist no viral videos that have no dislikes. People may have similar interests, but that doesn't mean they'll all like the final product. Don't let one comment get to you. Think of all the people who actually enjoy your content. If people give you constructive criticism the you should definitely pay attention, but if it's just hateful comments then simply ignore them. The reason some users who comment such negative things on your videos is due to the fact that they can hide behind their anonymity online. I guarantee you that if you met them in person they wouldn't be talking like that. Some people just try to act tough online because they know in person they are fairly weak, but I digress. Point is you shouldn't let a few bad comments get to you. Keep doing your best and you'll end up attracting far more positive people in the process. Best of luck!
 
YOU CAN NEVER PLEASE EVERYONE! Remember this! And then continue to do what you love to do. It does not matter what haters think, they must have a boring life of their own to go around spreading hate
 
There are three types of negative comments you can get on your videos really:

Constructive criticism: Someone complains about something in your video, but it's a valid criticism. These comments are your friend and often it'll be your viewers/subscribers who point out things in your videos that need fixing (like poor audio quality etc) - so when you see these, don't let them sting, instead be happy and learn from them and your video quality will improve.

Valid but unhelpful criticism: Maybe you have a stutter, or do something people perceive as awkward, or have something odd about your looks etc that some people notice. Unfortunately, some people will decide to bring up these things even though there's nothing you can really do about them. If you want to grow in size on YouTube, be prepared for these things to get mentioned, and for your insecurities to get targeted by the select few who don't have good manners. It takes a certain tough skin if you ever take on any job/career that involves you being in the public eye under the scrutiny of 1000s of people - because all the worst things that someone could think to say about you, WILL be said at some point by someone. The best way to react to these kinds of comments if you're bothered by them, is to simply remove the comment so it doesn't start a conversation.

Unhelpful *and* invalid criticism: These are just the spammers/trolls intentionally trying to flame or bait you into a response. Again the solution is simple, delete any such comments you notice. Negative people spread their negativity in the hope of getting attention because people in that negative mindset tend to only be able to get enjoyment out of things like getting attention from others - so I never justify these comments with a response, as it gives them what they want.

So in short, if you get a negative comment, ask yourself: Is this something useful that I could learn from to improve my videos? If so, thank the person and apply it next time. If not, ignore them and/or delete the comment and move on. :)
 
Keep moving forward. Keep youtubing how you want. The constructive critisizm comment is a good point. You can learn from hate sometimes. But ultimately you are youtubing to have fun. Keep improving and keep having fun.
 
My sister and I also got our first troll comment too today, told us we were ugly and to kill ourselves....My sister who is into gaming warned me that it was bound to happen so I kinda chuckled after I saw it.
