 When I started doing a lot of these collaborations like a year ago or more I didn't have a large following and people wouldn't have known who Molly Burke was if the title said Molly Burke dies my hair. People honestly wouldn't have clicked on it and at the end of the day for a lot of the people that I collaborate with and for a lot of people on this platform this is their job and their job relies on you know getting clicks on videos. Blind girl dies my hair, blind girl buys my outfit is frankly way more clickable than my friend dies my hair or like Molly Burke dies my hair like it's just more clickable and I understand like that's the game of YouTube we need to make our videos like sound appealing and sound interesting for somebody to want to watch it. What is up everybody this is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel my channel is all about mental health my sole purpose is to help you out with your mental and emotional well being so if you're into that kind of stuff make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell so that clip you just saw in my intro that is Molly Burke aka the blind girl all right and I've been watching some of her stuff for a while and I was introduced to her through a collab that she did with Shane Dawson well anyways that video that she just made is about how she is always tagged as the blind girl in other people's videos and a lot of her audience is like getting really offended by it and they're standing up for it and coming in droves and sticking up for it they're like hey her name is Molly it's not the blind girl but Molly made this video explaining like no it's cool and here's why we do that and Molly's basically talking about you got to play the YouTube game like this is why she does it like she explains that you know people have to make these videos and titles and make them so they're clickable you know and you know what I'm just gonna shut up real quick just watch this clip the reality is that just shows like you you've been given an opportunity to be educated and to learn and to form those opinions and I think that's really cool and it's probably something that you you might not have watched that video if it wasn't for that title for having blind girl in the video title so yeah like basically if they didn't make these clickable titles and make it intriguing like oh a blind girl does this a blind girl does that like people wouldn't even be educated about her disability about these things so she's glad that people are learning more about it and that's how she gained this following like the best analogy I can give is YouTube to help people it's kind of like when you got to give a dog like it's medicine like a little pill so you got to wrap it up into like cheese or some meat so they take the pill like that's kind of like what YouTube is we sometimes to get a positive message out there and to educate people we actually have to like wrap it up in something else just so you click on it and you get educated and I wanted to make this video because I've gotten some comments about that lately about you know why I'm talking about you know beauty gurus or you know other things going on in the YouTube community but that's what I got to do like you need to understand like my purpose my purpose is to help as many people with their mental health as possible like I have struggled so much six years ago my life was a complete mess and it goes back even further than that I was a drug addict I was an alcoholic I struggled with severe depression severe anxiety suicidal thoughts I've had terrible relationships all sorts of stuff and now my life is incredible and all I want to do is help people but the problem is is that mental health is kind of a subject that either a is really uncomfortable for people or b a lot of people aren't even really caring about so they're not looking forward on YouTube so I have to sit here and say okay how do I help people improve their lives if it's something that they're not even looking for on YouTube well I have to play the YouTube game myself so if any of you are already subscribed to my channel if you watched the video I made yesterday about the anxiety attack I was having like it was the worst anxiety I've had in a long time I'd say at least within the last year or two was the worst anxiety attack I had and I made this video and a few hours later like my girlfriend she's out of town visiting her her little brother for his birthday this is them right there and they're having a great time but I was texting her and I was freaking out and all sorts of stuff and later you know a few hours later she asked me she's like hey how are you doing she's amazing isn't she she's asking me how I'm doing and I told I'm like I'm phenomenal I am doing great and she asked me like what I did and I told her I gave her this laundry list of what I did all the tools that I use to overcome my anxiety see back in the day that would have lasted all day it would have lasted for days me just freaking out all right and I told her all the things I did and how great I feel and I just was telling her I'm like I just want people to learn that they can do this too I want people to learn that anxiety doesn't have to control their lives I want people to learn that there are tools that they can use to live a productive life even if they have some type of anxiety disorder or other mental illness you know what I mean and that's why I do what I do here on YouTube is to help all of you and I gotta package it in a certain way just so I can get through to you and one of the problems is is human nature like I analyze people all the time I think people are very very interesting and fascinating but the reality is is that we're more into that kind of stuff we're more likely to click on that type of stuff I remember my son was asking me one time like why is the news always so negative and I told him I said it's not the news is fault like that's just what people want to watch it's it's unfortunate but that's how the news does their thing and they sensationalize things and they blow things up because that's what you the viewer are going to watch like I know in a in a in a perfect imaginary world if the news was called like happy fun news hour you know that would be in but the thing is like when people watch that they're like that's lame that's dumb so the news only does like these little segments of like cute little animals and that and out but most of time they're talking about you know tragedy and drama and all these other things and blowing it way out of proportion because that's what you as the viewer wants to watch and it sucks but you know like that's what I have to look at myself for too I have to say okay do I click on things that are just happy and inspirational or am I looking for this negativity out there in the world so I don't know we got to check in with ourselves I maybe someday in the future people will change and just want to look at things that better themselves and stuff like that and be motivated and inspired and improve themselves but for the most part people are into the drama and you know especially here on YouTube there's so much stuff going on people like oh what's their opinion about this what's their opinion about this what's their opinion about this and then they come across my channel and they're like oh this guy actually talks about mental health oh wait I struggle with those things oh wait maybe I should subscribe and see what else this guy has to say and I'll be honest with you like it really bums me out it bums me out because I have so many videos I have over 400 videos on this channel so if you're new like make sure you go binge watch those like I have over 400 videos and there's so many videos we're like I just made what I feel is like some of the best content I've ever created I'm like this video is going to help so many people but because it doesn't have like a celebrity or famous YouTube on there like barely anybody watched it like barely anybody watched the video and I'm like that's a bummer that's a bummer but some of you out there who are new to my channel you go back through my catalog and you're like oh wait oh oh oh you start clicking on that stuff but the problem is is that it's not going to help if nobody can find that video because it's not related to something else it's like trending in the news so like I hate it because I'm like man that video was so good and I know it can help thousands and thousands and thousands of people but nobody's ever going to see it and if you don't believe me like let's take a look at my videos right now let's take a look at my most popular videos all right so my most popular videos like my channel really started to get big when 13 reasons why I came out and look at this like my top three videos are all about 13 reasons why and each one of those is actually a pretty good video about mental health that first one right there like that one is actually about perspective but it has it has 100,000 views like what that's my first video to have 100,000 views and I purely talk about perspective in that video now I got kind of lucky with uh you know a couple of these other videos like the opiate withdrawal one and the alcohol withdrawal one but that's something that people are actually looking up you know on YouTube they're like how long does this last what's it like but if you look at my next videos look one about Nicole Arbor another one about 13 reasons why another one about graveyard girl and then you go down it's 13 reasons why 13 reasons why 13 reasons why and then there's my video about Jeffree Star and I think my Jeffree Star one is probably the best example so Shane Dawson did his whole documentary with Jeffree Star and in the finale they talked a lot about mental health uh Jeffree Star talked about his past with you know his depression his uh self-harming behaviors and all sorts of stuff and I'm like okay cool this is a mental health topic I could talk about and it's a trending topic right now I have so many comments in that video where people like oh my god like I'm so glad I found your channel so like that's that's why I keep doing it you know what I mean like there's so many people who also those 13 reasons why videos or the uh the graveyard girl video or other just trending topics or even some of these makeup guru videos people like I'm really glad I found your channel you know like thank god they were looking for other stuff maybe about drama or stuff going on in the community and they found a mental health channel and now they're like getting help now they're improving their lives you know so like I know I've made a few videos about like don't care what people think and stuff like that but like I just wanted to explain to you because I think this is a good mental health topic in and of itself like why are we not looking for how to help ourselves why are we not looking for those things like yeah I know there's some self-help channels out there that are like exploding and stuff like that and like as I continue to get bigger and to grow I know I can make some of those other videos that are just purely purely mental health like no other person is involved no celebrity no youtuber no trending topic no news like I know I'm gonna be able to do that at some point but as I am very very small and growing this channel like again that dog analogy I gotta wrap that medicine up in something nice and tasty just to get people here so they can help themselves you know what I mean so but anyways like I love all of you and I love that you know we just actually hit 11,000 subscribers that's insane and you know part of this because I tricked you into coming in here no it's not even a trick like we need to watch videos that can actually help us learn from the situation I'm gonna link a video up here about why we need to talk about YouTube drama or whatever and I explain how we watch videos passively and not try to learn from them but anyways like that's all I got I would love to know your opinions or comments down below like what videos do you click on what videos like are you someone out there constantly looking for videos that can help you or do you watch a lot of drama videos or news videos and things like that let me know down in the comments because you'll help me create other videos to get more people over here so they can learn how to help themselves improve their mental health all right that's all I got for you today so if you like this video please give it a thumbs up and if
