I consider this a milestone: first hate comment! :D

[asher zero]

First hate comment is a milestone, right? We're all gonna get them eventually; I see them as a sort of "rite of passage". The fact that someone was actually emotionally charged by you enough to bother to write out a mean comment for no apparent reason means you must be doing something right. I think it is a sign that people are starting to see you as a Youtuber.

So today, I received my first hate comment:


I've gotten plenty of positive comments as well as "neutral" comments, but never one that is just hateful for no reason. From my odd perspective of the world, I see this as a milestone of sorts. How you deal with your first hate comment(s) will shape a part of who you are as a Youtuber: you can take them personally and allow them to discourage you, or you can accept any legit criticism (if there is any, that is), then laugh about it and be proud that you're starting to go through something that all Youtubers go through

Does anyone else want to share their first hate comment(s) and how they dealt with it? I'm sure this is a topic for which most new Youtubers want advice; I know I do.

I'm sure you'll get some hate comments soon! I mean I'm still an infant Youtuber myself, and I did. I believe in you!

Lol, well I do have a few unexplained dislikes, our channels look about the same size now that I look. But no hateful comments here yet

Haha, hang in there! Let me know when you do get your first hate comment ^_^ and needless to say, don't take it personally or let it get to you.

Of course I won't, I'm an internet veteran XD

I'm still waiting on my first hate message as well. My channel is quiet a bit smaller than yours but I'm sure mine is incoming soon enough. Can't wait haha

Be sure to share when you do! I'm curious to see how you handle it.

The best way of course is to ignore it, but I couldn't help but be a smart a** and post that reply lol

Well not really. See the rules here for what can be posted in the milestones forum: http://yttalk.com/threads/milestones-forum-rules-read-before-posting.105144/


I'll move this to the YT forum for a discussion about comments [DOUBLEPOST=1408350428,1408350283][/DOUBLEPOST]Those look like reddit comments. There's your answer right there. Reddit users are a tough crowd to please
