The REAL Reason I Why I Quit This Channel

[@JackOllie4]

I'm so sorry that all this happened to your channel. It's a disgrace how KZbin gaslights and ghosts its content creators. I've heard others tell similar stories of their channel stalling and struggling from inexplicable problems from KZbin, itself. May your new channel grow quickly!

[@KelseeBrianaJai]

Thank you! It’s a mess behind the scenes for many! Smooches 💋

[@tanyapetersen7426]

Hey, BabyDoll. I'm just glad that you have a new channel, a new beginning, and you are adjusting as you live with the loss of your best friend. I.miss her laughter and Fabulosity. Keep the faith, girl.

[@AudraReinsOfficial]

I feel you. I have kind of quit KZbin - I make content but it's mostly behind a paywall long before I post it on KZbin. The way I watched my channel stall - I know I'm not everyone's cup of tea - but dang. Wishing you nothing but success,luv!

[@KelseeBrianaJai]

Aww man! I hate to hear that Audra. Your content and friend group is one of the coolest parts of YT! I wish you could experience the success that you deserve. Smh at the algorithm. Whatever you create will be dope regardless if 15 people see it or 150000. Don’t stop sharing YOU! Smooches 💋

[@PamelaH_HappyVibes]

I 100% understand how you feel dealing 😅with your grief, by also being a very positive person, it’s extremely hard! Seeing the hurt or hearing other people hurt for me when my Mom passed made me even more sad! Mel would want you to be happy, she would want us all to be happy. I’ve been watching your new channel. I’m looking forward to more content from you! ❤

[@marybonome2827]

You are back and that's what matters! Please start uploading more frequently if possible miss your content, style annd wealth of knowledge!

[@takishasallbeautyzone]

Everyone's grief is different and to have to deal with that in the public is unimaginable! I definitely understand what you're referring to with the Google email being associated with your channel. I think I did something similar, but I don't even know how to describe it. Sometimes tech stuff gives me a headache! I have a whole doctorate, yet social media challenges me 🤷🏽‍♀️ 😄. You know I'm here for the ride! Love you! ❤️

[@katface28]

I can remember last year in maybe December you did a live cooking in the kitchen. I remember telling you about the Sabatino Tartufi Truffle Salts... A month later, I lost my baby brother, and I know that I will never be the same ... so I feel tf out of this video. (Literally just choked myself up)... I subscribed to your new channel. I meant to do it maybe last month when I saw a post where you were talking about it on IG, but I got caught up until now. I love you, and I can't wait to see what you bring us in 2023 and on.

If it makes you feel any better my You Tube channel started in 2019 has 675 subscribers and 1951.9 watch hours and my loyal subscribers tell me they don’t get their notifications and get unsubscribed too but like you I keep going because I still like to talk about beauty at 59

[@mdc5432]

During my time as a Hospice Nurse, blocks of time usually elapsed allowing a family to acclimate & adjust to a lengthy medical decline of a loved one, when death arrived it usually was a very spiritual passing of dignity & respect. However......the SuddEN Tragic passing of a cherished parent, close sibling or BFF or bestest ever friend is tragically heartbreaking & the sudden shock of surreality to the human heart leaves us stranded in a shaky existence. A fractured heart takes time to heal Beautiful One. Be Kind to Yourself💜

[@KelseeBrianaJai]

My hat is off to you for working one of the toughest jobs out there! Loss is devastating no matter what, but a sudden loss breaks your heart so sharply! Your heart just feels like it’s in a million pieces! Finding all the pieces and putting them back together is a lifelong journey! Smooches 💋

[@AntheaToya]

I understand this gmail confusion. Ever since I created a gmail account, my hotmail got subsumed under it (the gmail profile), and I’ve created two additional gmail accounts for my jobs and businesses and sometimes I have issues because I have to be sure to be logged into a specific account depending on what I’m doing. Just recently I had to add one email to my calendar settings so I could have a calendar shared with me for a specific business. There should be better customer support on this.

[@kellihovanec755]

I understand the feeling of totally being blindsided by a loss. When I got together with my husband my stepson was 8 and my stepdaughter was 4. Out of the blue on the morning of December 23, 2017 I opened my front door to a state trooper who was here to tell us that my stepson had passed away. He was 25 years old at the time but he was still living with us. We didn't know what to do. It was a freak accident where he fell down a set of basement stairs.

[@KelseeBrianaJai]

Oh no! I’m so sorry, Kelli. I pray that you and your family are healing as best as you can after enduring such a devastating loss. Smooches 💋

Oh! 💡 If you're able to, it could be a good idea to link to your new channel all over this one! Like, in the Channels tab - where you can show Featured Channels! You could put a post on your Community tab, too! Also, on your main page you have some Playlists listed - you could make some Playlists with your new channel's content! And display them on the top of the list, or a new list of Playlists. (Though you might have to make a playlist using this old channel, with the new channel's videos, but I'm not sure, just mentioning the possibility cuz of the gmail/account issues and such). ❤️ You're amazing!

Hey hey ! It's good to see this video. For the record, I was subscribed long before Mel's passing. Second, I am glad I didn't do my makeup before watching. Got emotional myself. There is no time limit on grief. You feel what you feel. I see someone who is still hurting because you loved her so deeply. I am still subscribed to Mel. I don't see myself ever detaching from it. Sometimes, I just need to hear her happy cheerful voice, and I binge Mel. Third I subscribed to House of KBJ, but I am not getting videos. Could you have a problem or do I have a problem and need to do a search for it? Fourth and final your look today was beautiful casual classy.

When Google and KZbin entwined, it screwed up stuff I still haven't been able to fix. I've lost almost my entire family, all my pets and multiple friends over the last 5 years. Trusting digital spaces means I lost the last few years of the most recent photos I have of them. It messed up so much, I can't imagine it affecting my passion and paycheck too. I understand the overwhelming feeling of social media after a loss. It's why I only use KZbin now. I can't hear how sorry people are for my loss and no one knows me here. I'm sorry it couldn't be that for you at a time you probably needed it.

[@KelseeBrianaJai]

Dear sweet Kelsee!!! I’ve been hoping that folx would shift to House of KBJ more quickly….hopefully this video will help! I’m thinking if the brilliant F.D Signifier’s quote about struggling on KZbin: “My boss is a racist robot.” It’s so much more difficult to grow if you’re a Black/Indigenous Person of Color because for some reason (cough) the algorithm favors white folx, especially white men. I have to look for my favorite creators routinely even though I’m watching all of their content! It can be so frustrating, because what you choose to watch should cause the algorithm to suggest those creators’ videos. It’s ridiculous really. And, I’m so peeved that you have to put up with such nonsense with the gmail account! What a nightmare!!! Someone at YT HQ should have helped you! There’s no way you could have anticipated this would happen. Okay! I really miss Mel too. I know it’s been so painful for all of the people that knew her in real life, and for anyone who loves her. Let’s go to the HOUSE OF KBJ!💙💙💙

[@kohk79]

It’s crazy how much of my video recommendations are from channels featuring/owned by white men, while they are a minority in my subscription list! I keep clicking on don’t recommend this or don’t recommend this channel, because it’s usually content that doesn’t interest me. Yet, it’s what gets pushed the most, regardless of MY interests and MY subscriptions.

But privileged…I said the privileged moved in and moved up. I saw one girl that just started her channel a year ago already has 10,000 subs. 🫤 no shade but it is discouraging. But be patient 38:14 KBJ push out the content and let your supporters support you.
