Dear X, Angst and mixed emotions and uninspired periods are all part of the growing process -- just learn to run with them until a fresh wind comes along to fill your sails... -- Oh yeah, and hey: Why are your teeth so nice for an English chick??? -- Ha, Ha, your funny. And 25? Your a youngster. Low ratings?? Roll with it sister!! Fight the good fight. You said that you "love it." --- listen to the song "a little bit of emotion" by the kinks (on YouTube) for some inspiration... Go!
Ok, lovely one: It's a sad thing that a young lady like yourself has to read comments from grossly immature, undereducated idiots. However, let me be honest -- about half way thru your emotion filled video I though to myself : I just want to jump thru my monitor into your room, and convert your anxst into delicious nonverbal love making. And then I imagined you quiet and peaceful--Anyway, whoops, sorry about that... Rewatch all your vids and find our where YOU "attack" yourself. Grow. Love
what your point ,,views ,XXXD me ,it sounds like u went to a google edcauational thingie ,where u become a corprat enity , xxxxD love what u do , and dont give a toss about equaisions to inhance your likeability , ,,
This is like the 4th video I've heard you claiming to be bored and/or out of ideas for YouTube, and I hate to hear you saying it. I've been more than amused with the simple chats that you used to give about what goes on day-to-day with you. I don't need all the dress ups and acting; stick to the basics of your life. That's what I subscribed to you for...to keep up with YOU...not your acting.
Actually Bryony, I like this channel more than your 'A game' one because you're you and so real, which is a whole lot harder to do on Youtube than to perform.
You posted this like 3 months ago, but don't give up on youtube! You are the first youtuber I watched and subscribed too. DONT LET ME DOWN BRYONY!! lol
As of July 30, 2009 your Paris Hilton video has over 35K views so maybe it just got a slow start. But if you want to crank up your viewership, try posting your videos as responses to Mememolly's latest video. I notice she still gets over a quarter million views. Are you two still good buds? I notice you still have that video of you and Molly at the Apple Store posted.
She ought to let you post your videos on her channel.
Bryony, you inspired me to start my own video blog. Secondly, I feel old sometimes being 26 haha. I'm not exactly fresh faced anymore but I still get carded for cigarettes and alcohol. Recently I was Id'd for a lottery ticket. The Weight thing, it looks good on you. We're not 16 forever.. Keep making videos!! Keep being human.
Oh yes, since creating a blog I have had some seriously nasty comment, funny ones and down right retarded ones. Reading your comments has made me realise that on youtube it's completly normal and you being as fantastic as you are makes the haters pretty funny. I'm sorry it gets in your skin sometimes. <3
Its very real and wonderful. The only advice I can give you is to not worry about it or try too hard. Inspiration just happens, you cant force it. Take a break from the internet for awhile maybe, go out and have fun. Then see if you have more to share.
Or continue making blogs like this. Personally i love hearing people just rambling about their day and random thoughts. It interests me.
I miss your old videos! Kind of ones like these! Pretty much just talking about whatever, they were my favorite aha. Maybe since your just getting older, your getting sick of it, which kind of sucks, but what can you do :\
You are very talented. Don't feel so down about making videos. Keep at it. You're wonderful. Don't worry about what everyone else is doing. What you're doing is unique and well, you. That's why we're watching. It's because of you. Love ya.
I love all your vids, i just found this channel! it would be cool to make like a blog every month on this one! & I watched your make up vid with no intension of doing it, i just like ur vids (Im 25 also) anywho .. i was getting ready for work and i started doing my eye shadow like that! I only use and beige and glimmery brown i mixed that with white and it looks so cool! I do it everyday now thx!! =)
Hi Bro, This is ground breaking, Your rambling and people are listening. That is something. You really are having a moment. You have an audiance I have 15 views. You do need to be inspired Go out and live alittle. Man does not live by youtube alone. By the way youtube google is about making money for investors. Good luck kid they really do love you out here. just do get up your own arse...
Ideas are never original. All ideas have been done already.
The 1996 film, Independence Day wasnt original. It was a remake of H.G. Wells The War of the Worlds radio broadcast. Wells said the aliens died from a human virus. Independence Day had a computer virus.
The new film 17 Again wasnt completely original. It was like an odd twist of two older films: 13 Going on 30, and my personal favorite Its a wonderful life.
Keep it up!!! I really like your videos. People are just stupid ignore them. I personally think you look beautiful and i am not just say that to make you feel better it is how I feel.
I really like your videos, no matter what you post. You are unique no matter what you think. Don't overthink it. That never does anyone any good. Take care.
1. Stop caring about view counts. You can't plan a hit, many musicians have only 1 insanely popular song and the rest of their songs *SUCK*. Sometimes you get lucky and make something good. You can't game it with rationale and patterns,
people are fickle and bore easily.
2. You need "seed material", you can't invent creativity all the time, sometimes you need to do the boring thing of watching reading a lot of stuff till something inspires you to react or respond.
You were the person that really brought me into the youtube communtiy. Before I found your videos, I would just mindlessly surf, but then I found your "Skullboy' video, and I thought it was completely amazing.
Now, I know that youtube is so much more than that, it's a community where you can get to know people, and find people with similar intrests.
Thank you, so much, for inspiring me to start making videos, and become a part of youtube.
I started watching your videos because you were just talking--like this video. It's when stuff seems planned that I get bored, and I stop watching. I subscribe to your two channels, but I often don't watch if it seems like it has a point. I don't want a point. I want to see people just talking. That's interesting.
I have been watching you from the very first video. These videos, just you being honest, are to me the best videos. I love to watch youtube to learn about other people. I love your honesty and you being open to share yourself with the world. It is ballsy. I think you are great and very entertaining.
I thought the last minute or so of this was really interesting, as an insight into what sort of reinforcement someone who's been huge on YouTube for a long time gets from using the site.
Honestly, the paris hilton video wasnt funny. I love your stuff, and i've been watching your stuff for a long time, but it wasnt your best. Don't get down on how many views your videos get. The honest funny stuff is what your returning subscribers like,
This kind of non-alcohol induced honesty is rare.
I dont want to say something trite, but damn. To say what you truly, honestly feel - and put that out to the world - is incredible, ballsy, and amazing - not just in itself, but says a lot about you and your exceptional ego strength, if that makes any sense to you... (I try to avoid psycho-babble, but it tends to slip in....)
Hey, Bryony, don't fret over the comments from 25 stone lardarses who say you are getting fat. If it bothers you take action either 1) decide to shrug off that crap, or 2) diet and exercise. Molly got the same comments, and it it did not bother her. You are a pretty English rose with a magnetic personality, so that's bound to excite jealousy. By the way, if I got 5000 views, I would think I died and went to heaven. Love you.
Bryony, I know it's rough with making videos sometimes. I haven't been feeling the inspiration to make vids in some time myself. But I want you to know that I have always enjoyed 'hearing' from you through your vids...you're fun (great sense of humour), friendly, and you're not fat! And even if you were, you're totally pretty regardless. There are plenty of so-called skinny people who look disgusting, seriously! : ) *hugs* Your weight is fine hon.
Watching ever since the "Pork Chops" video you made with your brother ... I recall feeling very old indeed in my 20s. Eventually it fades.
The "serious" videos get my respect for all the thought & work that goes into them, but these one-offs are every bit as valid in their own way, & I think it's quite gutsy to post them. Hang in there until you get over the blahs.
I think you should make more videos about the your daily life and also about the hobbies you have. I thought that the video about the bad customer service at the copy store was great. I also liked the one that showed you how to tie a Christmas bow (yea these are way back there). The main point I want to make is that you recently have slowed down the number of videos you have been posting and that I believe is a major factor as to why the number of views have gone down. Do what makes u happy!
Damn it, Paperlilies, you sound like a strange creature who feeds on views. Even youtubers, who are supposed to be mostly common people, can now be divided into "mainstream" and "indie". :)
The only thing I can think of that you could do is just try things out that you've never done and if it doesn't get views, who cares. It's just youtube. Try something else until you hit on what makes you want to make videos again.
But hang on, are you after loads of views or just wanting to make videos, you are worrying too much, your "early work" (when , by the way did 25 become old...try 43) you used to make videos that you like making. This video is good as it reminds me of what you used to do, never mind anout 10000 become an arthouse blogger
bry don't even sweat....make ANY shit up and post it and youtube will STILL love ya for it, myself included. also...i've been subbed to your reg channel AND xPLx since WAAAAAAAY back so don't worry you've still got supporters!!!
You need to not worry about what everyone else thinks. You need to just do what you find funny/enjoyable. When you do that people can tell that you enjoyed doing it and it makes them enjoy it as well. As for you gaining weight, you have two options learn to like yourself for how you are or fix the "problem". Happiness is a choice.
Hey Paperlillies, great vid! This type of video was the reason I started watching you 2 years ago. I really like the unplanned verbal vomit blog format. Its like catching up with friends... except completely 1 sided haha... so not really. But I enjoy it anyway. Much love
you look beautiful, shut up :P bunch of freaking whining girls.... get over it you are gorgeous! and maybe you should do some collabs. those are always fun. What do you like to do? acting? parodies? um... what do you usually do.... not sure how to describe it
^___^ I've watched your videos since the beginning. I remember the pink blog painting drama! and the sarcasm backfire. And the time you said you weren't posting videos until haters were gone. And the wizard riding a unicorn on a rainbow in space competition. And the emo cupid competition which i have no idea what happened too. I even freaked out when you replied to one of my messages... I was young back then.
Bryony, just letting you know, there are some people out here who care what you think. You'd definitely be missed, so don't stop posting. I've just subscribed to your xPLx channel, and I'm looking forward to some more soulful video logs from you. Hang in there! :) I'll post this on the long blog too.
1) in my physiology class we've been learning about stress and depression. According to a study you should go outside and meditate for 30 min. Yeah it sounds like yoga crap but I tried it for an assignment and it actually worked. hope that was of any help :]
2) yay I'm not the only "4 head"
3) just to bring back hope your world, I was there from the beginning
4) you should make fun video responses. That could be something you could do.
Try not to get to disappointed with views, most of the really active youtube community are like 16-19 years old. Shallow with short attention spans.
Your not going to get it both ways making more connected, and interactive videos will probably be more satisfying for you. But since the focus will not be on entertainment... the vid won't get as many views.
Still hot,pimples and all. And what the hell...Your 25!! Jeez im going to crawl into a fetal position, suck on my thumb and say over and over im only 27 and im not THAT OLD.
Guilty! I suscribed at your channel when I saw one of your videos and thought "look, a funny and hot british girl". And yeah, I'm guilty of thinking "this girl isn't that hot anymore, she looks kinda fat". I know it sucks, don't hate me. But there's a reason why I'm still suscribed to it. I kinda enjoy what you do, I don't care if you get horrible face deformation. And I think you started doing it just for fun and you should keep doing it for that reason, stop worrying about numbers.
I see a pattern with a lot of vloggers. They end up making videos about making videos or YouTube, or other YouTubers.
They were great at first when they filmed stuff about their life or simple, mundane, daily things they encounter. Like chocolate or Chinese food, or strange stores, buildings, people. They talked about their school, college, work etc.
Now they feel a need to do something original or a collaboration or something.
But in the end people are watching vloggers for the simple stuff.
Well, dear Lilies.. You've done some great/cool/funny vids, but if you intend to stay "in the business" just for the sake of feeding your Ego with numbers and comments, then you might be going astray, I'm afraid.
Your inspirationlessness and dissatisfaction may well be a sign it's time to move on and explore other realms, or to at least take some break and/or "reinvent" yourself.
Weird! - Exactly 2 years ago (May 4th 07) you made a vlog. You just bought some Chinese food in nice cartons so you showed it us. It wasn't inspired, there weren't a hundred jokes - it was just you!
You're just as watchable now, you're natural and relaxed and (I don't know if this is the right word but) comforting. Human - if you know what I mean!?
ive always found your videos to be fun to watch. i like the old schools ways. like the early youtube days. ive found people are trying to be clever and trying keep up with the corp videos while it seems the general i.Qof the people watching videos on here is going down.
as for the fat comments youve got, i think you look great, always have and always will
and by the way, I am exactly the same, no motivation and feel kinda mehh with youtube at the mo. I can't really talk though, i've only been here like a year and a half
I'm feeling the same way you are but with all things online as well as offline. I used to have a lot of friends online, but they've all moved on to other things (MySpace to Facebook to Twitter, while I've remained on MySpace). I've been all over the place outside of the internet, so I have maybe one or two friends. It seems pathetic that I don't have many friends offline OR online. So I just feel lost in general. Bahhhh...
i think your just thinking way too much about how to please people and your not having fun with them anymore and people can see that.you..i know its hard with having sooo many subscribers to not think about that but you should just do whatever you want..i would love to even have the guts to put up videos properly..i make them!..i just never put them up cos like you im scared what people will say which is stupid really..cos at the end of the day its for your own fun!
I enjoy everything you do, too much like a crazy stocker? I agree with indiefilm I love seeing how you live, the difference in the things are in the UK vs. the States help everyone in understanding diversity
I thumbs up a few comments that others had left. I agree with indifilmsmakenosense, Amycakes, and ocean0explorer. And just a suggestion... maybe do a video outside of your residence. I'd like to see what your favorite places are in London or elsewhere... in a non-touristy way. But yeah, I've enjoyed your random videos or your art videos or your show n' tell videos.
i know what you mean with the weight thing, mine is really up to getting an office job, whereas i used to run round all day in child care. but in a womans body you are in catch 22: seriously, because you want to eat what you want for comfort but then hate your body..And if you are like me i hate doing all that exercise and not see instant results :/
btw your 20 thing list thing that i replied to was good
I liked back when you showed us your collections of stuff or when we saw what groceries you had, pointless shit like that is the entire reason I watch. I also like when you read out abusive comments, but that comes after something inspired...
Your videos never seem to take as long as they do, 10 minutes of this is like 4 minutes of most people. Keep the suckers long
The point of making videos that people have already done is that you have your own style which so many of us love! I've seen God knows how many Miss Teen South Carolina videos and yours was still my favourite, just your delivery and creativity is what I adore. Hope this helped. :)
Im glad you posted this video it's nice to see you talking again!
We all have our off time but don't give up on it. Inspiration will come ask friends and stuff. I probably won't be much help but I don't want you too give up :P
An about your weight and stuff your a very beautiful lady Bryony and you shouldn't doubt yourself. I'm still here and whenever your next video comes along I will be there watching and loving it!
I've been watcing your videos for a while and I think you should just go for it, who cares if you're ripping people off unintentionally. And I don't think vlogs like this are boring,
Don't worry, Bryony. Most of us from back when you did 'Ask the English Girl' are still here. If you think your views are getting low, don't worry about it. *Everyone*'s on YouTube now and are probably trying to copy everyone else with their own vids. You're still awesome and most of us are still with you.
If you need ideas, you should do more 'Ask the English Girl'. I'm sure there are so many Americans that still have questions about Brit culture. :-)

1. Stop caring about view counts. You can't plan a hit, many musicians have only 1 insanely popular song and the rest of their songs *SUCK*. Sometimes you get lucky and make something good. You can't game it with rationale and patterns,
people are fickle and bore easily.
2. You need "seed material", you can't invent creativity all the time, sometimes you need to do the boring thing of watching reading a lot of stuff till something inspires you to react or respond.

I subscribe to your two channels, but I often don't watch if it seems like it has a point. I don't want a point. I want to see people just talking. That's interesting.

I have been watching you from the very first video. These videos, just you being honest, are to me the best videos. I love to watch youtube to learn about other people. I love your honesty and you being open to share yourself with the world. It is ballsy. I think you are great and very entertaining.
jagger212121 2 years ago
I thought the last minute or so of this was really interesting, as an insight into what sort of reinforcement someone who's been huge on YouTube for a long time gets from using the site.

This kind of non-alcohol induced honesty is rare.
I dont want to say something trite, but damn. To say what you truly, honestly feel - and put that out to the world - is incredible, ballsy, and amazing - not just in itself, but says a lot about you and your exceptional ego strength, if that makes any sense to you... (I try to avoid psycho-babble, but it tends to slip in....)

These are the questions Ive pondered about the people who post videos on YouTube, ever since the beginning... I mean, just..... Why?
Why?
Whats the point of posting vids on YouTube?
Its tough to put yourself out there, but what does one expect to come of it? If anything?
mehhh15 2 years ago
Hey, Bryony, don't fret over the comments from 25 stone lardarses who say you are getting fat. If it bothers you take action either 1) decide to shrug off that crap, or 2) diet and exercise. Molly got the same comments, and it it did not bother her. You are a pretty English rose with a magnetic personality, so that's bound to excite jealousy. By the way, if I got 5000 views, I would think I died and went to heaven. Love you.

officercartman666 2 years ago
Bryony, I know it's rough with making videos sometimes. I haven't been feeling the inspiration to make vids in some time myself. But I want you to know that I have always enjoyed 'hearing' from you through your vids...you're fun (great sense of humour), friendly, and you're not fat! And even if you were, you're totally pretty regardless. There are plenty of so-called skinny people who look disgusting, seriously! : ) *hugs* Your weight is fine hon.

Watching ever since the "Pork Chops" video you made with your brother ... I recall feeling very old indeed in my 20s. Eventually it fades.
The "serious" videos get my respect for all the thought & work that goes into them, but these one-offs are every bit as valid in their own way, & I think it's quite gutsy to post them. Hang in there until you get over the blahs.

I think you should make more videos about the your daily life and also about the hobbies you have. I thought that the video about the bad customer service at the copy store was great. I also liked the one that showed you how to tie a Christmas bow (yea these are way back there). The main point I want to make is that you recently have slowed down the number of videos you have been posting and that I believe is a major factor as to why the number of views have gone down. Do what makes u happy!

The only thing I can think of that you could do is just try things out that you've never done and if it doesn't get views, who cares. It's just youtube. Try something else until you hit on what makes you want to make videos again.
smallstegosaurus 2 years ago
But hang on, are you after loads of views or just wanting to make videos, you are worrying too much, your "early work" (when , by the way did 25 become old...try 43) you used to make videos that you like making. This video is good as it reminds me of what you used to do, never mind anout 10000 become an arthouse blogger

You need to not worry about what everyone else thinks. You need to just do what you find funny/enjoyable. When you do that people can tell that you enjoyed doing it and it makes them enjoy it as well. As for you gaining weight, you have two options learn to like yourself for how you are or fix the "problem". Happiness is a choice.

And the wizard riding a unicorn on a rainbow in space competition. And the emo cupid competition which i have no idea what happened too. I even freaked out when you replied to one of my messages... I was young back then.

Here is a push: I think you'd do a nice job creating videos that summarize popular T.V. shows.
Hate that idea? OK. Here's a different one: You could listen to Astrud Gilberto and Stereolab and post a video about how things go in cycles.
breathead 2 years ago
Bryony, just letting you know, there are some people out here who care what you think. You'd definitely be missed, so don't stop posting. I've just subscribed to your xPLx channel, and I'm looking forward to some more soulful video logs from you. Hang in there! :) I'll post this on the long blog too.

These were comments I made as I was watching:
1) in my physiology class we've been learning about stress and depression. According to a study you should go outside and meditate for 30 min. Yeah it sounds like yoga crap but I tried it for an assignment and it actually worked. hope that was of any help :]
2) yay I'm not the only "4 head"
3) just to bring back hope your world, I was there from the beginning
4) you should make fun video responses. That could be something you could do.

Try not to get to disappointed with views, most of the really active youtube community are like 16-19 years old. Shallow with short attention spans.
Your not going to get it both ways making more connected, and interactive videos will probably be more satisfying for you. But since the focus will not be on entertainment... the vid won't get as many views.

Guilty! I suscribed at your channel when I saw one of your videos and thought "look, a funny and hot british girl". And yeah, I'm guilty of thinking "this girl isn't that hot anymore, she looks kinda fat". I know it sucks, don't hate me. But there's a reason why I'm still suscribed to it. I kinda enjoy what you do, I don't care if you get horrible face deformation. And I think you started doing it just for fun and you should keep doing it for that reason, stop worrying about numbers.

I see a pattern with a lot of vloggers. They end up making videos about making videos or YouTube, or other YouTubers.
They were great at first when they filmed stuff about their life or simple, mundane, daily things they encounter. Like chocolate or Chinese food, or strange stores, buildings, people. They talked about their school, college, work etc.
Now they feel a need to do something original or a collaboration or something.
But in the end people are watching vloggers for the simple stuff.

Well, dear Lilies.. You've done some great/cool/funny vids, but if you intend to stay "in the business" just for the sake of feeding your Ego with numbers and comments, then you might be going astray, I'm afraid.
Your inspirationlessness and dissatisfaction may well be a sign it's time to move on and explore other realms, or to at least take some break and/or "reinvent" yourself.
Life's supposed to be about growing, right? ;)

You're just as watchable now, you're natural and relaxed and (I don't know if this is the right word but) comforting. Human - if you know what I mean!?

I'm feeling the same way you are but with all things online as well as offline. I used to have a lot of friends online, but they've all moved on to other things (MySpace to Facebook to Twitter, while I've remained on MySpace). I've been all over the place outside of the internet, so I have maybe one or two friends. It seems pathetic that I don't have many friends offline OR online. So I just feel lost in general. Bahhhh...

Don't worry, Bryony. Most of us from back when you did 'Ask the English Girl' are still here. If you think your views are getting low, don't worry about it. *Everyone*'s on YouTube now and are probably trying to copy everyone else with their own vids. You're still awesome and most of us are still with you.
If you need ideas, you should do more 'Ask the English Girl'. I'm sure there are so many Americans that still have questions about Brit culture. :-)
