Stephanie Patrick’s Powerful Story

[@Shirley_Serious]

I like the juxtaposition of guy calling out "true entrepreneurs" which sounded like he thought it was awesome, and the almost haunted tone of "never again" by Steph.

[@pennplayz]

yeah that was so weird, he clearly was not reading the vibe right at all She very clearly was telling this as a negative story, and hes smiling and bobbin his head like "thats so fuckin awesome"

[@jessalynkrenicki1431]

Yeah she’s like “the day I quit” and he’s like “oh yeah this is the time to praise/joke about this self destructive and unhealthy work schedule”

[@Yeasalotnopr]

@@pennplayzit’s called a joke 😂

[@Yeasalotnopr]

@@jessalynkrenicki1431I don’t get you guys he never praised it? He was sarcastically saying that because a lot of TikTok gurus tell you to work work work and never take a rest day 😂it’s like you guys are the autistic ones 😂😂😂😂

​@rtrwer it likely was a joke but this short doesn't do much to sell it.

[@Wheatbreadsauce]

Steph is so awesome, her and Mat are extremely deserving of the KZbin dominance they’ve had.

[@Mediados]

Never promoted anything questionable, never got into conflict, they always held their channel as a professional business. Proves that you can easily make it big if you're true to yourself.

[@gracejordan110]

@@MediadosI mean, they’ve had a couple minor controversies but nothing that they didn’t immediately take full responsibility for. They should be an example to the entire community.

[@Mediados]

@@gracejordan110 Of course, no human is without fault. But nobody holds a grudge if you apologize and move on like a normal person. Many other KZbinrs though forget that they are public figures in the entertainment industry, and in their attempt to keep their hands clean look all the guiltier.

Mhm, this shouldn't be the norm, you should not be expected to work that long in ANY job. Its not 'entrepreneurial' it's a waste of your life

[@Yeasalotnopr]

[@willowequestrian4660]

This really hits after Matpat has stepped down from the channel as well. They have worked so hard for this, and I’m really happy that he’s gotten to the point where he has done what he set out to do, and can now go spend time doing what really matters to him. Love them both and I hope that their future is bright

[@FlameEmber]

Stephanie is so incredibly hardworking, well-spoken, deeply thoughtful, and so dedicated. She's so unbelievably high of a standard for everything she embodies.

[@slayer_z4754]

Steph is one of my biggest inspirations and has been since I was 10 I have such an immeasurable amount of respect for this woman

[@matthewgumabon7498]

I live and work in Japan, and while I love it here, the work culture has gotten out of hand for everyday people. Working 12 hour days and taking no days off is not only common, but even expected, in what we call “Black” companies. These are typical corporate entities with antiquated work ideologies that will purposefully overwork, underpay, and low key threaten to ruin your professional reputation if you quit. It’s not every company, but it more than you would think. The only difference is that no one here calls it “hustle culture”. It is just normal. No one will admire you or give you props for it. No one is proud of it, and they shouldn’t be. It’s a toxic work culture that is slowly draining the life from people for no other reason than “it’s just the way it is.” Don’t let this become the norm in North America.

[@Vesperad0]

That's horrible, especially when you consider how Asia in general treats mental illness. And that's saying something, when nearly every place around the world treats mentally ill people like shit. I hate both the normalization of it in the east, and I hate how it's idolized in the west. There's no way anyone can take what is essentially slavery with the illusion of a choice and make it into something to aspire for. Not a damn person in this world should be killing themselves for the decision between food, water, shelter, and simple luxuries. We've advanced far beyond the need for that kind of struggle.

[@user-th1pv6ks5o]

It already is, and has I mean before the unions in America advocated for higher working standards Americans would sleep on a literal rope and call it a day. Now not only are we going back to that, but they also are trying to get rid of child labor laws. Telling kids they only need 8th grade education before they need to work on the fields.

@@JustAHuman101 You missed the point then The point should then be; people that get overlooked despite doing a lot of work, should also get praised, regardless of gender. Not that women should get special praise or something By making it about gender you imply that people are deliberately being sexist towards Stephanie, which i don’t think is the case at all

[@kiera6326]

@@thevipez8740 it's not about people being deliberately sexist, it's the systems. You need to understand that socially, women are disadvantaged and have been for a long, ling time. If it was Matt that had quit, or if it was Stephanie who had began the channel herself, there would be no GTLive or Game Theory or Film Theory to speak of. The channel would not have survived, purely because she's a woman and people view women as less interesting, less funny, less smart and less important

Just an FYI, my dad is a steel worker and has put your hours in weekly for about 15 years. I'm sure he would love to take your shifts for your KZbin channel for the money you make. I'm sure sitting behind a computer with the rug rats running around is a lot more enjoyable than breathing chemicals and gasses that make your life shorter.

@@1upElemental no, that conceptually is extremely stupid, it's pretty important to measure the importance of one's work.
