Today, I'd like to talk about my comment section.

Recently, I've been getting so many emails that say it's getting worse and I should do something about it.

And some people I asked for interview told me

they don't wanna appear in my video because they're afraid of getting hurt by the comment section.

Some of the interviewees asked me to delete the video

because they said some of the comments were too harsh and they couldn't take it anymore.

As you may already know, I have so many many haters

which is totally understandable. I definitely deserve it.

But,

I've been thinking about these kinds of messages and came to this conclusion.

It is totally my fault.

I can't blame anyone for the comment section.

In the past, I made political controversy videos strongly pushing my personal views.

I think because of that,

many people who agree with my views and conservatives on the political spectrum

came to my channel.

Although I deleted those videos,

According to my American friend, my political videos attracted those people.

And it seems like some of them were quite extremists and left racist or sexist comments.

Maybe it was not wrong to talk about politics.

Maybe my political opinions, intention and message toward foreigners coming to Japan were not 100% wrong either.

But regardless of my intention and message, the tone was horribly bad and insensitive.

I should have been more considerate.

Maybe I was talking like my opinion was definitely correct and people have to follow it, which was so bad.

I thought it was OK because this is my personal individual channel.

I thought I could talk about anything I liked whether politics or not.

But starting as a dating channel,

I shouldn't have brought my personal political views and talked about it too aggressively and insensitively

which was just not appropriate regardless of my message and intension.

So if you think the comment section got so bad,

I'm the whole root of the problem not the people who leave racist comments.

It's no excuse about that.

Therefore, I owe you an apology for that.

I am terribly sorry for that.

I think the reason I started talking about politics at some point is that

I lost interest in dating and didn't feel like talking or making videos about it.

One day, I realized

maybe I'm not entitled to do that because I don't have enough dating experience.

And I'm unattractive and ugly, so even if the content is great, I thought it's not convincing and nobody listens.

I thought it's very weird for the audience.

But since this channel happened to start as a dating channel, I have to be interested in dating. I'll try to be as much as I can.

Even though I'm unattractive and don't have dating experience,

I have many friends who know about dating

Interviewing or talking with them, I hope I can still provide useful contents for the audience somehow.

I hope it's gonna be still decent as a dating and Japan related channel.

And I'm really interested in self-deprecating humor.

So I'd like to use it on my future videos.

Anyway, I'll try not to be too political and hopefully, it's gonna make the comment section better.

But I want you to understand

it's not 100% my control. I can't stop everyone who leaves nasty comments that hurt you.

More importantly,

it's just comments in the end.

It's internet people. We can't expect everyone to be nice.

It's not real people

Because it's anonymous, they say something they wouldn't say in person.

I think many of the comments are not so serious. Some are just trolls.

So maybe we shouldn't take it too seriously and personally.

I'd like you to focus on the content rather than the comment section.

If this sounds like an excuse to you, I'm sorry

The fact remains that I am the whole root of the problem.

Don't get me wrong

I'm not discouraging you to leave a comment at all.

I want to emphasize that some comments are so helpful for me.

Comments like giving me constructive criticism, suggestions or correcting my English

They certainly help me make better contents. I'm grateful for that. Thank you so much.

But I want you to know that

some people care about the comments and might get hurt by your comment.

So maybe you shouldn't be totally jerk even though you're anonymous and nobody can identify you.

The reason I'm saying is that

I'd like to continue to bring someone who has totally different views from me.

Everyone has different taste and opinions

We should be tolerant of people's viewpoints even if it's clearly against your beliefs or views.

I really need to listen to myself when it comes to that.

For this 3 years, I've made a shit ton of mistakes and failures. Too many.

Because of the too many mistakes, I annoyed and hurt many people's feelings

which makes me feel shameful and disappointed.

But at the same time, I'm so grateful now

Even though I made so many many mistakes, there're some people still watching my channel. They forgave me.

I feel I'm incredibly lucky about that and I can't appreciate it enough.

I want to focus on the people and give them value.

That's my primary focus.

The value could be informative, entertainment, motivation, inspiration, comedy or anything.

Whatever the value is, I should be thankful to them and not waste their precious time.

At least, I should stop being selfish and provide them something decent.

But 3 years ago

when I first started my channel,

I think I need to go back to the beginner's spirit.

The quality was terribly so low

My English horribly sucked more than anyone

It was completely useless garbage contents

But I was so excited every day like a kid, looking back now

It's all about doing something you're deeply truly passionate about

I was passionate about helping people and feeling I am worthy to exist in this world.

Yeah, I was just so happy about that

Now, I think I need to remember why I started and bring back to the beginner's spirit.

I just want to make a contribution to someone even just a little bit.

Giving value and making their lives better

Even still nowadays, I've been making many mistakes and I'm afraid to say probably I'm going to do that.

But at least, I need to learn from the mistake and improve even just a little bit day by day.

I think what I really need is growth mindset.

Having it in mind, hopefully I can make the situation better.
