So I was blocked on Twitter and YouTube by the one and only Matthew Lush.
Lets talk about that.
I wouldn't say that I'm a fan of Lush, but I've followed him over the years because I felt like we were in a similar situation.
We've both had our personal lives on blast
And we have both experienced the mess that is having your relationship problems in the public eye.
Although Matthew has been a little more forward with what he shares on the internet.
In fact I don't think that there is anything that he doesn't share, on the internet.
And that's fine if that's the way that you choose to live your life
But things can get a little bit more complex when other people are involved
I understand the term hopeless romantic, and I think it fits Matthew's personality quite well
But this is where my comment on his video "Why We Broke Up" comes into play
Matt obviously deleted my comment, but it read
Matthew, here's some advice from someone who also has their personal life on blast.
When you meet someone if the first thing you do is introduce them to millions of people
Your letting them judge your relationship before you've even had the chance to get to know each other as people.
It's almost like you're letting your audience make judgement of if you're compatible
When in reality that's for you and only you to decide.
If you're already in love before you introduce your relationship to your audience
It's likely that they will like you as a couple
the other way around
It's just not gonna work
It was one of the top comments with loads of replies from my fans
and Matthew's fans until last night when I noticed
Well, it was gone
I vented my frustration on twitter
5 minutes later
I was blocked
Sure I've blocked certain profanities from my YouTube comments
but that's in effort of removing the unconstructive criticism
that add absolutely nothing to my life
My comment to Matthew on the other hand
was entirely constructive
and basically just advice from one creator to another
This isn't the first time Matthew's deleted my comments either
Back in early 2015 I left a comment on one of Matthew's videos
stating how I feel for his situation
with the break up
how I can relate to how he feels
and also how I didn't think
that he should be continuing to involve Nick in his videos
and constantly talking about him
because it was just, so, awkward
It felt like they were tolerating each other just
for they YouTube video
and obviously to get views from it
but you guessed it
he deleted that comment too.
I do also while I'm here want to mention something
that I feel strongly about
and that Matthew is a repeat offender of.
It's just like religion
you support it for your own reasons
but shoving it down other people's throat
and judging them on their life choices
is just as wrong
as you think not being a vegan is.
This is probably one of our last dates
because he got lamb
why?
Why did you get lamb?
I wanted goat but they didn't have any
Oh my God
By all means promote it
but do not discriminate others
who choose not to follow it.
Case closed.
I've gone on record
on Twitter commenting on how I don't like my videos compared to the Lush channel
probably why Matt seemingly doesn't like me.
but since my boyfriend tag video
many people have compared me to Lush
and it's got under my skin for an assortment of reasons
I've made videos with my boyfriend and arguably that's what got me exposure in the first place
and it's clear that many of my most popular videos are of that nature.
but my relationship and inside details about my relationship
is not something I've enjoyed being public in the past.
And I'm slowly drifting away from it.
And sure I still wanna share the most important moments of my life
involving Mike as well.
There are plenty of YouTuber's that have there relationship
as the core focus of there content
and that's fine
but when you're in a position where your relationship is not stable
or
You don't have a relationship
and you're trying to bring new relationships into it
that's when it gets messy.
Leading me on to
I gained my audience because of my videos with Mike
but the idea that that's all you'll ever be known for
is stupid.
And I feel like Matthew is continuing the exact same content that he was known for
and is ruthlessly milking it
in order to stay relevent.
So Matthew in your Twitter bio you state that you are an entrepreneur.
If that's true then you will know that taking intelligent risks
and evolving is the only way to stay relevant and sustain a business.
Even your most dedicated fans will eventually get bored of seeing the same thing over, and over, and over again.
This is what sets apart the YouTuber's that have died out
and the YouTuber's that are 8 years into the game and still going strong.
Listen, I'm not quite as successful as you Matt
but take this advice for what it's worth.
If you continue the way you are
your channel will die out.
As someone who since 2006 has seen this happen
countless times to countless YouTuber's
Take my advice
and try something new.
Sex, bad relationships, and more sex
is not your only selling point
There's more to you than that.
And if you believe in that
then act on it
you'll be thankful that you did
Thank you guys for watching
give it a like if you enjoyed
give it a dislike if you disagree with what I said in this video
just remember that this was not made as a direct attack
and I don't particularly care that I was blocked
the point here is I don't like censorship, and I was censored for giving advice.
I mean
just, just, this has been an episode of Real Talk
and I'll see you next time.
Bye guys.
