u might not care lol, but the reason why i think ur videos are not just “another commentary video” is because it very much is clear that ur trying to make the person watching _understand_ , and u look at issues through many perspectives that some may be afraid of doing, so keep it up liv!!

I found your channel a while ago and "fell in love" with your opinions and ability to provide us with different viewpoints. I'm someone who always seeks to broaden her horizon, so I love watching your videos and perhaps get a new perspective on some things (I also think I agree with you on most things). It was really cool to get to know you a little better through this Q&A because to me, it's always interesting to learn more about the person I'm watching through the screen.^^ You seem super cool and chill, and I feel like it would be so much fun and also very insightful to discuss all kinds of deeper topics with you. Much love from Switzerland

[@samaamaha775]

ABSOLUTELY agree with your take on cultural appropriation!! I love your open-minded approach to a lot of the topics you speak about. I feel as if many people nowadays look at things too objectively whereas I don't feel that watching your videos :) I often find myself immersed in what you have to say even during the videos on topics I dont give much thought about !

[@looncaloo]

I really appreciate your content. It’s really opened my eyes. Your takes just come from an angle that I’ve never thought of before! Also I found this genuinely entertaining and you seem like a really cool person!! Hope you have a good day Olivia!

[@funkykidkite]

This may sound all creepy, but I have been binge watching you vids all week! The way you speak on different topics is so interesting! You really bring up things I wouldn't have ever thought of. All i can say is a big thank you for wonderful content!

[@rivengristle]

You're literally my favourite talker on here. I love how you always try your best with videos and the way you explain things made me understand the topics you were talking about better than anyone else's. I hope that everything you want to do will become real

[@Gustavomazu]

you're just the sweetest most chill person I've seen on youtube I could watch you ramble all day

[@MAYA-nf4uf]

I really like your voice, so soothing. Also I love your channel, you are so level-headed and bring a intresting perspective to topics I didnt even thought of.

from 50k to 700k WELL DONE! The way u love u cereal, is what I feel at been fed by your content. You already are building a bright future.

[@Jbizzyboi]

olisunvia I gotta leave this comment because, I'm just realizing now you're a sub 1M youboober. You're easily one of my favorite subs in the political/philosophical/social sphere of this platform, and I guess I just never realized when I stumbled upon your vids a couple months or so ago that you are just getting started. I'm a huge stan, and I'm infatuated with your thoughts and opinions - keep doing you, the world needs more people like you.

[@oliSUNvia]

youboober, i gotta start using that... thank you aha :D

[@bm246]

I rly enjoy how you explain things and how you add a nuance perspective on controversial topics, instead of going for a one-sided view. Keep it up!! ❤️

[@GlAsseshalf]

I really appreciate your content in the way you express your ideas. It’s pretty inspirational and makes me want to take my philosophy out side of my head and learn new ideas as well as share my own

[@fy61]

When I found your channel I literally watched almost every single video in one day. I can’t describe how much I love your content

[@blackpantsog]

Loved this video! I'd have never guessed you were 19 from how you eloquent and mature you seem! Can't believe you're just a few years older than me-

[@ldieyi]

Ikr, she's incredibly wise 🤩

[@Flyway999]

fr this channel is something ✨special✨ I could literally listen to you talk about anything

[@adamobiruka3223]

I just discovered your channel and I love your content. The topics you cover are not ones that naturally interest me, but the way you talk about them is simply captivating. The fact that you like HIMYM is just👌🏾

[@ldieyi]

You're so wise and mature. The fact that you're only 3 years older than me, yet you have so much wisdom stored up within you. You're an incredible person and I hope you and your amazing channel blows up 🤩

[@arelysjournal]

i love your channel!! i really appreciate how your commentary takes things from many perspectives (and also you're so pretty haha)

[@gayperp]

Philosophize This, and the Theory Of Everything are two amazing pieces of media. I'm really into determinism right now, and how it differs on a macro universal scale, as supposed to a micro quantum scale. I really like how the theme of time was intertwined with the motor disease catching up to Hawking. Eddie Redmayn was the perfect part for the role.

[@g3times_]

God I wish I was as articulate and as charismatic as you. Congrats on 60k!!

[@theeditaesthetic]

we have the same music + fashion taste! that’s so cool! also, i know nothing about philosophy yet i’ve been wanting to learn more about it recently, so thanks for the recs!

[@akirasstoragefacility]

11:20 i 1000% agree with this take. cultural appropriation is made out to be this terrible thing with a lot of weight on society, and i wouldnt argue the fact that it certainly IS an issue in many cases. however, i feel that the negative impacts of cultural appropriation are blown far out of proportion because its more of a surface level issue that touches resentment by people of disadvantaged backgrounds for having been harassed/made fun of on the basis of ethnicity/traditions/customs in childhood and throughout their whole lives and of the generations before them. the true issue of cultural appropriation is psychological, while the perception of the issue is simply visual, and so things get taken out of context as to the motivation/perspective/knowledge of the offending parties. for the most part, all you can understand is what you see in front of you, so the person who is representing themselves with the piece from the other culture might be doing so out of respect/admiration/appreciation, but people who view this person might end up thinking, wow they are so disrespectful and dont care about the feelings of the people of the culture that they are identifying with for the moment. sorry for runoff sentences but i just agree with your opinion a lot and i think people need to understand this point of view for us to mend some of the conflicts amongst us

[@sakkura_jang]

i'm obsessed with your videos gurl

[@shaulab]

the first video i watched of urs was the gen z humour one AND i fell in love w ur viewpoints, ur ability to respectfully present ur opinion. im someone who likes to broaden her viewpoint, get to know about anything that intrigues me. i rlly like ur personality (i mean from what ive seen through the screen lol).

[@suzan7867]

I love you so much, I usually get kinda bored after few videos I see from commentary channels, but I would watch like thousands of your vids. also your music taste is so gooood

Love HIMYM, always been my favorite show, watched it so many times. Feels like I learn something new about life every rewatch, and I expect it'll only improve/become more relatable as I age an experience more in my life. And Eternal Sunshine is an absolute masterpiece 👌, definitely my favorite too. So glad I found this channel!

It has given me relief to find someone out there who share so many similar ideas and thoughts about life. Thanks for sharing your content. I really appreciate what you have to say.

[@malagus_]

About death and the general topic of the last question, anyone interested should read The Denial of Death, by Ernest Becker. It's an amazing book that goes deep into how people and society as a whole face the idea of our inevitable end. I've been fairly interested in the topic since my late grandpa got sick, and none other book that I've read can hold a candle to this one. Other suggestions are Meditations, by Marcus Aurelius; Myth of Sisyphus, by Albert Camus; On The Brevity of Life, by Seneca. Edit: corrected (or attempted to) my grammar
