I often watch YouTube on the iPhone, and u can't 'like' videos through the app I use. I would like to like videos more often though.

I think a lot of the time I don't comment is because I don't think it will be noticed. Will try more. Would like to involve myself in the online community more. Would like to actually vlog one day too.

[fizzylimon]

@liwymi Man! They should add that. I don't have a good data plan to watch videos on my phone, but I have looked through comments before and there's no "reply" feature, which frustrates me.

As for noticing comments, I can promise you, I read them all. I try to reply to as many as I can, but sometimes I get bogged down with other responsibilities or feel like I'm repeating myself. You're definitely noticed, though!

And as far as vlogging goes, all I can say is give it a shot! What's there to lose?

I often don't comment on videos because I am afraid people will think what I said is stupid or my comment will go unnoticed. I often have thoughts on videos but they seem silly when I put them to words. I know I should comment more but I sometimes just don't know what to say. I do like your videos and I look forward to seeing more. I will also try to comment more.

[fizzylimon]

@arandompiece Don't worry! I don't judge what people say. Usually if I'm confused about what someone is saying, but I can tell that they're saying *something,* I'll reply and try to get to understand where they're coming from. The only ones that I tend to bypass are the ones that just say "lol ur awesome" or "I lyke ur eyes" or something like that, haha

[antigraphophobic]

Well said. I'm not the best at making comments consistently, but I'm trying to get better at it. Glad to hear your thoughts on this!

[fizzylimon]

@antigraphophobic No worries at all! I'm glad you're making the effort! And thanks for watching.

@Geespicoli Why don't you stop wasting your time insulting an awesome guy who actually does something productive with theirs?

[GeeSpicoli]

WTF dude your gay lisp is so gay. Seriously, could you get any gayer?

[owlsneedlove]

first i think that your awesome as far as musical / vlog wise second i would like to formally apologize for any troll out there.... they just need a hug

[CrayonInMyMouth]

Sometimes it's a little bit hard to get immersed in a video because a lot of the vloggers I watch, I kind of stand in awe of. I do thing it's really weird that people are so rude to vlogs that they subscribe too. People: NO ONE HAS TO VLOG FOR YOU! They don't have to make videos or do the things you say for them to do, or anything like that. We should start treating the people on YouTube with respect instead of treating them as entertainment robots.

[n3onbrown]

Somehow you remind me of why I love (and waste so much time on) Youtube. This sounds very odd, but your reminder that videomakers are humans who have lives and are sacrificing their time here makes me better appreciate the fact that you guys bother. So thank you very much. *hat tip*

One thing that keeps me from commenting on videos, though, is the fact that I'm coming back years too late to the party. It feels strange to be telling you that you hair two years looked very nice, f'rinstance.

[ShippaiX3]

I also found you through truth or fail XD. You are awesome consider me subscribed :3.

[Kiranja]

I just discovered you through Truth or Fail and I really like your style. Also you have a voice I enjoy listening to. Consider me subscribed :)

[TR4C1G0LL4N]

WOW, you are a very good vlogger. I as a "consumer" ( can you technically apply that word to me seeings as I am not PAYING for a good/service ) I know I should eb doing more to promote videos/vlogs that I am lovin' (such as yours). I think we all need a reminder sometimes of just how hard YouTuber's work, and that they do it for US. I have nearly caught up on your videos (I learned about you today from ToF) and I am impressed (BTW You do have nice eyes - sorry, but it had to be said!!!)

[mlcool96]

I find it quite hillarious that soon after this you went to truth or fail. Therfore spreading your videos, therefore pulling me in. And you did it...by....your...self! Good on you

[lissy42nerdfighter]

I just want to say that the only reason I don't usually share videos that I like is cuz I have no friends :P
