The Challenges of Gaining 500k Subscribers (Hate Comments, Staying Motivated, & Going Viral)

[@bbj82662]

I am 85, not your typical viewer. I have tremendous admiration for your many strengths. You are a remarkable 27-year-old, functioning far better than I at your age. My only advice is to believe in yourself as much as I do, and simply ignore nasty comments. I will never provide suggestions about what I would like you to do, since I am confident that you will work hard and creatively. I want to see what you want me to see, not what I want to see. You have qualities I admire greatly, and I have full confidence in whatever you decide about your professional and personal life. I look forward to your 1 million subscriber announcement.

[@TaylorBell]

Your comment made me smile very big, thank you for the nice words 🥹

[@jimludwick]

I’m 78 and echo those comments and miss having an office in Manhattan so I can interact with NYC people on a daily basis. I do get back two or three times a year but rely on you to make my NYC day.

[@sergegorneff7969]

Beautiful and magnificent ❤

[@HowardOfficial]

I’m beginning to think I might not be your 3rd oldest subscriber 🤔

[@nancypettitt1211]

this is a great comment. I ditto it. Congrats on the 500K. You are great on video and I enjoy them too. Please focus on what you love to do.

[@PopsiCOLE]

​​@@BadMannerKorea I don't need you to state to me that I'm not David goggins. I was talking about mentally. On the inside. People who go to comment sections just to put hateful comments (like yours) are never doing as good as the person they're hating on. I never implied that i'm better at everything than everyone or that I am Goggins. So calm down there ya dandelion. Sit down. It's just a quote. Thanks for proving my point. 😊

This is gold!!

@@TaylorBell I'm a big admirer of your work Taylor! Keep it up! 🤙😊

[@TaylorBell]

So kind 🥹 Thank you

She's pretty easy on the eyes too :x

[@Daniel_Braun]

Congrats on half a millions subs, Taylor!!

[@TaylorBell]

Thanks so much Daniel!!!

[@MichaelPick]

Congratulations on 500K! Also, you’ll never hear something negative from someone doing better than you. It’s always the people who hate their lives that leave the negative comments. Keep crushing it!!!

[@ChrisGaultHealthyLiving]

Congrats on your 500K subs, Taylor. That’s awesome. I appreciate the video since I’m a small KZbinr & people don’t understand what it takes to be one. Thanks so much & keep being your awesome self!

[@mmmm-ev2nk]

I am also an elderly subscriber and I am so impressed with young people such as yourself putting themselves out there and talking about things that women in my generation kept to themselves and didn't want others to know. I have been following you for a while and your videos are just getting better and better. Keep smiling and keep up the great work!

[@mchyde9645]

At 76 it doesn't matter what people think. You love yourself. It amazes me how you do all of this! Wish this was available when I was younger!

[@TaylorBell]

such a nice comment, thank you 😊

[@amichii19]

I love how honest this is. I think at some point we all feel like people pleasers and then as we grow up a bit more, we realize it doesn't really matter. You're so humble and there's this sense of calm when I watch this kind of format of your videos.

[@zephany]

This is top-tier Taylor! It's my favorite post since I began following you with your first NYC apartment tour. In my work as a creative professional, I've seen the best and worst of humanity, just as you have. How great it is to have a business/life "coach" who says, "Hey man, don't let the shiny new award fool you. It hasn't been easy. You're not the only one to experience these things. Here's how I deal with them. Hopefully this will help you, too!" IMO, some have been unnecessarily harsh in their criticisms toward you. I feared you might give up. Thanks for hanging in there, Coach! You inspire so many of us!

[@melissah-h4b]

At 53, I’ve learned the hard way that some people choose to “cut others down” as a shortcut to feeling better about themselves-it’s easier than doing the real work success requires. Yet I’ve also seen how positive interactions with successful people can inspire curiosity and admiration, especially in growth-oriented environments. Staying mentally strong and setting clear boundaries is key to reinforcing a growth mindset and building healthier relationships. I only wish I’d learned this from a KZbin video many year ago! You are helping many young viewers!!!

[@paulsawyer2326]

Hey Taylor! Congrats on hitting your 500,000 subscribers milestone, ring that bell! I am not a channel creator, but I hear you and understand how the "Hate" comments can be bothersome. Mainly those who write those are ones who either are jealous and/or feel they should control your content. I was born with a hearing loss, and dealt with hate comments and put downs during teenage years. This tells me to those negative people they are either jealous and afraid that I can succeed and not them. Taylor, keep soldiering on with your creativity.

[@hathaway5724]

Congrats Taylor! Those of us who ‘see’ your brilliance, spirit and potential here will continue to be inspired, uplifted and informed by you. Thank you, blessed be. You are blazing new trails.

[@willcarlson2520]

Thank you, especially for your last few seconds of your vlog. The coffee connection you have with subscribers is very important to me. I waited each minute for you to just pick up the cup! When you finished and had not done so; I was immediately compelled to ask you why. Thanks for giving me the free mental roller-coaster ride. Looking forward to your next work.

Wow haven't heard that one, that really resonates. Love it

[@madisonbear117]

hahaha

[@victoriasecret2891]

The timing is perfect! You really just told me what I was thinking because I am at the beginning of something completely new in my life and I have to find the right approach. One thing that really helped me is that I realized that if you do something like KZbin you have to understand whether you like it as a business or as an expression of your creativity and artistic soul. For a long time, I was fooling myself that I wanted to be a business woman and then I realized that my creative side had been brutally killed as a child. And believing your idea will drive you far and will help you to overcome little details that you don't want to do as part of you growth, but when you really really want something your way seems so easy. Thank you Taylor for sharing your thoughts. Hi from Ukraine))

[@reidquiggins]

Hey Taylor, I started watching you a little over 3 years ago and your consulting content really shaped the path I took by pursuing 2 consulting internships during college. Unlike you, I sort of stumbled upon content creation one day almost a year ago and was NOT treating it like a business from day one, rather just a fun side hobby, and I really related with your creative freedom discussion. The past 6 months, I've experienced rapid growth and now find myself graduated from college, out of my final consulting internship without a return offer (tough year for it), but with 300k followers mainly on Instagram, and working to backtrack to build the pieces to turn my platform into a business. I say all this to say that it seems like I always mirror you somehow but just lag behind by a year or two, and that your open, honest discussion about some of the struggles you've had along the way I could really empathize with and helped me work through some of my own troubling thoughts at the moment with the place I'm at. So above all else, thank you. You're a shining star online and a real role model for me.

[@ayaanpatel156]

Taylor, I have been subscribed since 10k, and it has been a pleasure to see you grow. As a 22 year old, you inspire me, and your videos are genuinely the highlight of my day/week. Seeing you grow sort of feels like a personal win for me, and I hope you continue to excel and create content. Thank you for being a little spark in my day, irrespective of life or what you post!

[@princeofpersia3x]

Late to the comments, but I really enjoy this format! Its nice to hear when youtubers kinda open up a little bit about the different sides of youtube. Keep up the awesome work, Taylor!

[@huephoriadesign]

You deserve nothing but love. People are stupid and filled with hate that they comment to make themselves forget about their miserable life. Your videos are great, always make me want to visit New York and enjoy that life and your happy infectious personality shines in every video. Keep being you!

[@erikabalderas4367]

Don't let the negativity stop you. My youth goal was to have my career in NY on my 20s. I didn't and love seeing your channel to get that virtual experience of what life is like in the big apple!! 🍏 I'm a happy county mom loving my faith journey, family and farmhouse. I still enjoy seeing your experiences!!

[@visforvino]

Hey Taylor! We’re in wildly different niches, but I’ve also had trouble with the hate comments as we’ve grown. Appreciate knowing that fellow creators struggle with the same things, thanks for putting this video out on a day I needed to hear it. Cheers!

[@TaylorBell]

Comes with the territory as I always say, but definitely not fun! Glad this was helpful in some way 🥹 You got this!

[@comfyera]

"There are going to be people who let you down or give up on you or won't believe in you. Don't let that person be you." This is so true. I am a super small KZbinr with big dreams, and I tell myself this all the time - Do what you love, do your best, and let that be enough. Everything else is just a distraction. I also 100% agree that the connection with your community is so meaningful, and the best part of KZbin! Because I am so small every single subscriber, comment and like I get really makes my day. It's the best part of creating on KZbin, and the most fun part. Thanks for sharing your thoughts vulnerably; I really appreciate you and this video. (Also, your socks :) ! )

[@kennethparker9946]

I started watching your videos about a year and a half ago. Naturally, I had to go back and spend a weekend binging Taylor Bell content to get caught up, and from that point, I was hooked. Your biggest attribute, for me, is that you're a "real" person. I enjoy your content because it's simply you being your true self, you don't have an agenda, and unlike most KZbinrs, you don't rely on click-bate to attract viewership. I'm subscribed to quite a few channels, but I always make it a point to tune in (and like 👍) your content whenever a new one is released. Keep up the great content - It's always easy rooting for winners like you!

[@bluesoccerref]

What a wholesome take on reaching a half a million subscribers on KZbin. Thank you for sharing your insights and personal experiences. I have no doubt we'll be here again, but with you sharing your insights and experiences reaching one million. It's not a matter of if, it's when! Congratulations again, 500K is a great accomplishment and no one could be more deserving.

[@alexxu9177]

Hey Taylor, I have been following your content since 2020 back when you made college experience content when I was doing college apps. Honestly, seeing your growth as a creator and as a person (the side you show through the camera) is just awesome! Thank you for being goofy in front of the camera while being a very logical and structural planner in your video. Some of the quality you demonstrate in your video is always something that I admire. Thank you for being vulnerable. At the end, it is your personality along with your attention to detail makes me in love with your channel. I can't wait to continue to see your growth going forward and cheers for the 500k! also one last thing is the orange light in the background was a little distracting but have an awesome day!

[@nevaehcoco273]

Thank you for the sincere talk Taylor, after years of following you, I still feel it's a luck that I met you here. I like the NYC from your view, I like the way you talk, I like how you show your life. I usually watch your updates during working time, I see more not in the office life because of you, very let me get out of my office table indeed. And I love coffee(no matter in the shops or homemade) bagels, and autumn days, can't wait to see more about NYC in the fall. Anyway, I don't think I can say everything at once, so best wishes to you. (Neveah from China.)

[@EmiGarside]

I find your videos some of the most genuine/sincere on KZbin and interesting- my work life is worlds apart from yours, but I still learn things/find things interesting.

[@miguelroblero2509]

Why would people post hate comments. You’re a fabulous storyteller. That really is your secret sauce. All the other stuff just is a vehicle for the storytelling.

[@humphrey]

lovin this video Taylor! the journey is long. you accurately described alot of the mindset/feelings of growing and etc

[@TaylorBell]

Aw thanks big H. Glad you resonated with this

Taylor, been with you since about 75,000. You were a super impressive young lady then and are a super impressive young lady now. Keep going!

[@jeffreynimpadu]

You're actually one of my favorite KZbinrs (2nd in place, right after Kara & Nate). Pretty wild and inspiring what you have achieved, growing your channel to 500k. It's one of these 'projects' in live where you'll look back on at 85 and say: "Glad I did it"

[@priyanshitrehan134]

Congrats on half a mil subscriberss !! I really enjoy your content alot. Being in 20s is tough, figuring out careers, different paths, passions etc. but watching your videos really does give me the some sense of comfort and positivity along with good business advice/knowledge, be it career related, personal finaces or even side incomes to try. I really appreciate all the videos you make and would love to see more of business content from you.

[@TaylorBell]

This makes me so so happy to hear. So glad you find some sense of comfort from my videos 😊More to come, and thank you again!!!

[@beizhang9706]

Aaaaaahhhh please have a podcast!!! I love your voice, your narration and your wisdom!!!!

[@Kimmy.P.]

Congrats on 500k followers! You inspired me a fellow consultant to start my KZbin channel and it's so refreshing to hear you speak candidly as you always do on pesky comments, the ebb and flow of excitement in growing your channel at different stages and the embarrassment of starting your channel (I'm still in the throws of this). Thanks always Taylor, you're wise beyond your years

[@naibehasanova13]

The reason I personally subscribed for your channel is your Native American speaking style and accent, and since I teach English, I use your videos for self-study for both myself and my students; plus, I can build whole lessons based on your video as it teems with juicy vocabulary

[@jessicalim4596]

You are awesome and your content has helped me understand consulting much better. Please dont let hate comments get to you. You do awesome work and I love you.

“Don't ever let someone tell you, you can't do something. Not even me. You got a dream, you got to protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they want to tell you you can’t do it.

Funny thing is, I am a reseller. I started watching you when I started reselling to learn. As you've made the different shifts, I find i am still watching and a fan. I think I just like you and find you very soothing and calming. Thanks for doing what you do❤

[@christinabrown2023]

I've been watching your videos for over a year now, and I think you are amazing! You have actually inspired me to start my own channel. One of my favorite videos was a recent one that you did about passive income. Keep doing what you are doing! The haters are always going to hate.

[@Ghostrider91199]

Best channel on KZbin, such a refreshing fun take on everything you make. Thanks for being you!

[@SiliaAspa]

i don't get the hate comments on your videos because you were honest since day one with everything! About what you like and also what you earn ,that's really rear in big KZbinrs and we appreciate that! It's not only about luxury or fun lifestyle.. it's about business and making a living through your passion and that's motivating! yes you changed but that's growth! and we changed with you... I believe everyone who follows you for a long time ,maybe misses the old Taylor who was more free in content but that the logic evolution of a person and a business! I am not at all a creative person to do what you doing but I enjoy your videos because you talk nice, and you explain things easy,.. and you have your fun side too... I will stay here because you are like an abroad friend and I want to know how your life is going to go! pls stay real and honest and I know that half million ppl is not the small community of 10000 but we care about your apartment, or you terrace , or your boyfriend, friends and family! go on... we got your back

[@NorseMan633]

Taylor, I know that you're aware of this already but screw all the haters. Some ppl on this planet only find joy by bringing their misery to others. It's like you could find a cure to cancer and bring it to the world and still some ppl would attack you for it. There's a reason that you're at 500K subscribers and growing. You're funny, beyond charming, have a quick wit, relate to ppl very well, you're smart, well read and have a smile that lights up the room! ;=) I found your channel, due to a YT recommendation, back when you were in your high-rise apartment, and I've enjoyed all of your content ever since. You bring alot of joy to ppl. Keep it going! Peace !

[@jessebatres6895]

Congrats on the 500k Taylor! I first came across your channel in 2021, and you're one of the KZbinrs that finally got me to take the leap and start my own channel. We're in very different niches, but something I liked about your vids is how real, quirky, and kind you are. I know you've gotten to a point where those hate comments are easier. Focus on you and don't pay to attention to them. Be you, always!

[@josephcatania3955]

Congratulations Taylor! You're out here doing it your own way, which is the best way to do it. Ignore the haters and keep moving up in the world. I think I've mentioned it before, but a few more "review" type videos would be cool. Like a new restaurant you tried, a new product you got, a new attraction you saw, etc. First suggestion: take a bunch of friends to Quality Italian and go review the chicken parm!

[@crashboat01]

Congratulations on hitting an impressive milestone! As far as the content changes over the years, they seem perfectly natural to me. Actually, it's probably one of the main reasons I'm still here. As far future content some folks might be interested in getting your thoughts on pursuing advanced degrees.

[@Papeeshka]

Love your channel as a former consultant. You are living the dream. F the haters!

[@rayzorman46]

Came across your channel because of the apartment videos (Daughter currently going to school in NYC and those videos helped with apartment hunting!) but ended up enjoying you and your content. You offer a great lens into what NYC life is for an intelligent, focused, hard working young professional. Keep it up!

[@morganevelyncook]

Thank you so much for making this video! I'm currently in the "approaching 20k subscribers" stage you mentioned and it was really reassuring to hear about your mindset during that time and also your struggles with feeling like you're not making your "best" videos because you don't have the proper amount of time. I often wonder if I'm doing well enough or doing this whole KZbin thing "right" and hearing your take was just really comforting to me. Anyways, love your videos and thank you for sharing!

[@TaylorBell]

Wow your comments makes me so happy to hear! Keep going and congrats on your growth!!!

[@frankb1]

I have a daughter who is your age and who lives in NYC. I am learning a lot from your videos.

[@Chasls]

Out of KZbinrs under 1m, you’re probably my favorite. Do I enjoy all your videos? No. Like the video of your course you’re working on was blah.. BUT I enjoy almost all of them. Your patio video was fun! It’s just hard to convince people who don’t know you to watch you update patio furniture. Like very niche. Trying to add as much feed back as I can if you use this for video creation. These types of video’s usually do well. Catchy title, vulnerability, helpful feedback, coffee… Also with it being fall my watch time was gone done. It took me 2 days to watch this video. Anywho.. love what you do. Keep it up.

[@brbrmly]

Hi! I’ve been watching your videos consistently for some time now, and I love them. You seem like a genuine, smart, creative & kind person. I’ve learned so much from your inputs on economy & lifestyle. And I hope that you get to keep enjoying the work that you do here.

[@skrem23]

I've enjoyed watching your videos over the last few years, from you talking about your consulting career (and walking away from it), to your New York lifestyle videos, or you simply "Yapping" on any subject (ha ha). Your "Personality Plus" comes across in every video. You are a wonderful example of someone who is following their passion (or dream) in life, motivating others to perhaps feel safe to do the same.

[@amandaluke6107]

Congratulations on hitting half a million subscribers Taylor! At 62, I am probably one of your older audiences members, but I am so impressed by your creativity, delivery on camera and engagement with your audience. I would say you are putting that Ivy League education to good use as a pioneer content creator. (I could have never have done what you are doing when I was 27!) Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing what you bring us next. 😊

[@carlapires7732]

Always amazed to see how influential YT like you get ready to share & give their insider knowledge on how to grow audiences. Not afraid of competition. Content is highly valuable & enjoyable to watch to get out of dull daily life, but your bubbly personality & smart persona are what do most of the work!🎉

[@robertgill2509]

Congratulations on hitting half a million subscribers Taylor! Your content is always great so I'm not surprised that so many people are watching you. I'd love to see you do videos on investing and summaries of business courses you did at college.

[@TaylorBell]

THANK YOU so much!!!

[@samisquid94]

Thank you for this. I actually really loved it. I think it’s important for people to know it’s not always easy and that was an inspiring little chat thanks.

[@dennisfreudenberger5761]

I just wanted to say that while I'm probably not your typical subscriber, I'm really glad I found your channel. I think I first started watching because of the New York angle. I really enjoy the city and watched because of that. But eventually I found myself watching because I find you really amazing and very engaging . I can't imagine doing what you're doing and being as successful as you are at your age. Your parents must be very very proud. I know I would be. I really look forward to your new videos just because I like watching you do what you do. Just keep doing what feels right and ignore any negativity that may come your way. Congratulations on 500k!!

[@TaylorBell]

SUCH a kind comment, I can’t thank you enough 🥹 thank you so much. And thank you for sticking around

[@ladeedaax]

I don't think I've ever left a comment in my 15+ years of watching KZbin videos, but I was inspired by you saying you read all of the comments (which is commendable in itself at 500m subscribers -- congrats!). I have watched your videos on and off over the past few years and love your content. I really enjoyed this video and listening to your unscripted thoughts and reflections. It's clear how intentional, considerate, genuine, and intelligent you are which is something I love in a creator. I also quit my white collar job to pursue a different career a few years ago and it's a very difficult decision, but one that it worthwhile to pursue if possible. Best of luck with your journey, you're killing it!

[@TaylorBell]

I'm late to the game here, but THANK YOU for your first ever comment!! It's very appreciated

[@ALANL4460]

Well done on 500k. Only been following you a year but find your vlogs to be a great half hourish of insight to a life that while very different to alot of people its also very relatable to things we all go through and its relatable due to you being brave enough to be open about the struggles and not paint it as always amazing. Cant wait for your next vlog

[@RAFO.]

I have been your subscriber for a long time and I really enjoy your videos! They are so interesting, and I love your energy and everything you do! I rarely leave comments because I wasn’t sure if you read them or not. However, I was shocked to see hateful comments. You’re like a ray of sunshine on KZbin! You’re doing the right thing by not paying attention to those haters. Just know that you’re the best, and I hope you reach millions of subscribers soon!

[@TaylorBell]

Sorry I'm so late to this!!! But such a kind comment, I appreciate it 😊

[@cliffordhamblen5477]

I live in Bergen County NJ and travel to NYC often for entertainment. I have always wondered what it was like to actually try to live in the City, with the very high living costs and the huge crowds that compete for all of lives daily conveniences. I love watching your videos, it gives me an insight into how you do it and what some of the pitfalls are. You are also very entertaining with your honesty and sense of humor.

[@rhal818]

This video is fantastic! More bullet points and less script seems to be a great combination! Keep up the great work. 1M just around the corner.... (PS: It's never too late to drink a coffee!)

[@whitneysommer2351]

Hey Taylor! Congrats on half a million subscribers!! I loved this open and honest video. I feel like I can relate to a lot of the topics mentioned in this video, although my channel is not nearly as popular as yours (yet) lol. One of the topics that really hit close to home was the subject of privacy. I make mostly lifestyle vlogs and most of the time I'm the only person featured in it. I once received a comment that it's really sad that I'm in my 40s and alone. I was very hurt by this comment because I'm neither sad nor alone, I just want to keep certain aspects of my life private. Also, I have to respect the privacy of the people in my life who don't want to be on camera.

[@blusandia]

thank you for giving us small KZbinrs some good advice and hope (which you def need to keep doing this).

[@doctorfromHK]

I am planning to revamp my own channel and this q&a could not have come at a better time. I would love to watch videos on some of the best tips and practical advice you have for up and coming creators. Thank you Taylor!

Thanks for sharing your journey in life and congratulations on 500 K subscribers. I enjoy your videos and wish you well in all aspects of your life. Looking forward to the next video. Enjoy!

[@freddyvermanen]

I’m one of those lifelong contemplators on creating a channel, but you’re definitely inspiring me to take it one step further. I really appreciate your content 🙏🏻 On the topic of hate content, it seems people are holding their favorite KZbin creators accountable for creating content that resonates with them. However, many seem to forget that life isn’t stagnant and not only they evolve, but the creators as well.

[@Pirrelli8]

Taylor, all your videos are excellent. And super professional. Don’t feed into negative comments, or self doubt. You’re very courageous, talented, and comfortable in your own skin. Don’t change, it’s ok to be unique and different. That’s the way God made you,

[@adamsmith2936]

Congrats, great vibes. Like seeing adulting content. like how to navigate getting insurance, negotiations on contracts and deals, how to interview, investing, meeting your old peers in the business finance world

[@cerealxperimints]

Hearing that the terrace video didnt do well in your opinion is.. interesting to me since thats first video of yours that i saw. As far as topics i want to see maybe your thoug hes on how AI will change consulting? Your humour, energy and cadence of which you film and edit your videos is awesome. Sometimes you speak pretty fast almost like you cant wait to get the video over and done with but i think thats the NY state of mind lol. I do appreciate the cuts in the video where you include more of your personal thoughts though it really helps you come off more earnest and the topic your speaking on more profound. Im glad you have thousands of ideas for future videos because i look forward to seeing them and that skyline!! Great job, excellent work!!

[@RealJStreet]

Thank you for creating this video. I’m a new creator myself. I just started my KZbin journey on August 1. I have one video that is already approaching 10,000 views and just like you said I’ve gotten a mix of positive support where people feel like they discovered a new up-and-coming content creator, and I’ve gotten some really mean comments as well. People calling me a clown and telling me to get off KZbin so yes you’re right. There’s definitely a mix. I really appreciate you for being honest and transparent about your journey, thanks again.🥂

[@bbj82662]

Thanks!

[@furnituremeijie3300]

Even though I saw your video in China, I can feel your passion for life and vlogging. It's inspiring! Congrats, Taylor!

[@manuelsteele7755]

To me, you are an example of success that your young Gen Z peers should revere. I am an old Gen X guy who is aware that many recent college graduates are struggling to find a job. I know this because I am working on a PhD at Arizona State in late middle age. I have young classmates in graduate school of their early 20s asking me for help on a job search. So, your channel exemplifies strong independence and zeal for exploring an unorthodox but successful career. I honestly don't get the "hate" comments. But online castigation is common in social media when the threads get really large. Trust me, you are not alone. For example, I posted that I thought Taylor Swift does not have the vocal talent of a young Joni Mitchell and Karen Carpenter because back then (early 1970s), the singers did not have access to AutoTune software or AI enhancements. The vocal talent had to stand on its own. So, when I posted that, I got hate comments recently just for what I thought was a historical observation regarding AutoTune software - especially as it regards Taylor Swift. Go figure. Around 2014, a biographical film had been planned to show a young Carly Simon and Joni Mitchell to be played by Taylor Swift. But it was cancelled because behind-the-scenes it was felt that Taylor Swift dit not have the vocal talent to match the Non-AutoTune voices of the early 1970s. Joni herself refused to let Taylor be cast as her. I wouldn't be surprised if I got hate comments again for posting that here. One should watch "The Karen Carpenter Story" before castigating me. They would see how talented voices had to be before the era of computer enhancements with AutoTune and AI. As for comments on your appearance, I don't get that either. To me, you are young and beautiful with intelligence but also modest about it. The women at the gym who wear revealing outfits even in cold weather make me uncomfortable. They are often physically beautiful, but the attire is too over-the-top at times.

Taylor, who’s it going to be for the World Series? Who are you cheering for? Phillies, Mets, Yankees, or Dodgers? Everywhere you’ve lived has an MLB team in the post season!

Hey Turtle, I think this was the best video in 2024. :) No script, open, honest... Greets from Hamburg/Germany

[@TheJungleHaven]

HUGE congratulations on 500k!! I stumbled across your vids way back when looking for Poshmark advice, and fell in love with your style of video making and personality. Keep smashing it - you'll have that 1M plaque in no time 💪

[@sharvanidivekar6771]

Hey Taylor ! What a great video ! I find you truly remarkable. Your videos remind me of all the good things I can do in life and put me in a amazing mood full of motivation and inspiration . Thank you for addressing various points on how to look past the criticism when you first start your channel ! For your future videos can you do more stuff on personal finance ? Budgeting for example of expenses . And also maybe share some productive tips in general which keep you motivated . Thank you ❤

[@alex447284]

Particularly enjoyed this video - I enjoy stream-of-consciousness chats to the camera. Wide-ranging, and I can listen rather than attentively watch, while doing some nikoli puzzles. Thanks for your channel x

[@Atombender]

In an older vid you mentioned that you wanted four kids, whether this was wishful thinking or serious family planning, but right now you're doing so well that (and getting better) that at one point you'll have to decide between a good career and family.

[@UnsolvedParadox]

Thanks for breaking all of this down, and for powering through these challenges to keep making interesting videos.

[@A_n_d_i__]

Ignore the haters Taylor! You’re such a bright light and you should be so proud of yourself and your channel. Keep it up 👏

[@analuizaazevedocaldasdecar3663]

I love so much your content. I do think that every single one of them give me some knowledge. And it’s amazing to see how much you love it. Thank you so much for that

[@Oscar.Aguilar]

Hey Taylor! What a quality vid this is! Loved it. Video suggestions: A series on index fund and investing would be cool (multiple videos breaking it down for people in varying age groups) and maybe have a special guest appearance from one of your YT friends that discusses finance would be cool. A video or maybe on your newsletter discussing what sort of feedback you care to know so we know what provides you value to help improve your brand and content. Hope this helps. Thanks for posting and Have a good week!

[@nathanyoder4509]

Congrats on 500K Taylor! Low key flex, but its been so fun to be here since around 6K subs and can't wait to see you hit 1mil! You look stunning btw!!

One more comment on Being misunderstood and hate speech. What helps me because I am also bothered a lot by being misunderstood, I try to create situations in life where I share something taken out of context, I know that I didn't share the full story and I just watch people judging and criticizing me. It is not a pleasant experience but I am just learning to be okay with that and In the end, I was okay, because people tend to have limited thinking. I just always remind myself that people are different and with different interests. You are a perfect role model for me, because you really stand out from the crowd on youtube, you are different from the average youtuber, and the fact that you have 500k subscribers tells me that there are a lot of people in the world with the same opinion, mindset and perspective on life. And hate speech can bother if you have doubts about yourself, just don't doubt, believe that you are right and everything you do is just perfect, you won't even notice bad comments with this approach.

Major advice as a Business Mindset, Respect everyone. That's on you how much you need to respect on that person or other. Watching from Pakistan best KZbin channel i see in my Life is TaylorBell.

[@KayedFahmid]

You are like my sister, all our family watch your videos everyday, our birth place is Bangladesh, now we live in England, please accept our love❤

[@Kristybanks783]

I really enjoy your videos and your style of content. Always so well articulated and fun to watch. Also the NYC terrace video slapped 👌🏼

[@ronaldkeneske8621]

Hi Taylor, Love your videos. You have a lot of talent, wisdom, beauty and charisma. It is very enjoyable watching your videos. You are the kind of person one would love to meet in person. Yet someone like you is so rare. It is like having you as a friend whenever you would love to see and hear someone as special and wonderful as you are. There is a fantasy element on the Internet, so many celebrities and people posting. it is a delight to know you, for you Taylor have such a warm sincere personality.

[@janellee2224]

Hi Taylor! Been here since 17k but haven’t said hi. Congratulations on 500k. Just wanted to say you’ve consistently been one of my top youtubers for at least three years. I did find you through consulting (I was a college freshman when I discovered you, after all) but stayed because I genuinely love your content. I’m in graduate school now and it’s nice to see your evolution just as my life changes phases, but still having that consistency of actively awaiting your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@RhinoJulie]

I LOVE business. I was searching for more fellow female entrepreneurs on KZbin and I found you. Your content seemed to be more entertainment than business to me at first but then you shared a lot of vulnerable and inspirational things that kept me watching. I love the transparency with your finances and your business goals. For my own channel ( I just started ) I am sharing my journey as a 7 figure entrepreneur (I have two 7-figure businesses, one is brick and mortar, one online) and how I'm getting 'unstuck' and 'out of the weeds' of my businesses. I also share that 7 figures doesn't mean much if you don't have healthy margins LOL. PS: I invested in my first high yield savings account and Index funds! I'm going to practice dollar cost averaging. I used to just invest in my businesses and this passive income stuff (I made $50 in a couple days!) is blowing my mind! Thanks for all the inspiration!

[@ShervinShares]

love the honest authenticity

[@TaylorBell]

Thank Sherv

[@roony_plus4308]

Why aru you beautiful??????? Whyy​@@TaylorBell

[@jenovia22]

As a creator also, I really feel you. Really admire your consistency!! People are just out to get others from their own insecurities. And I'm not even big or medium YTer yet. Just started a year ago and could not hide from hate cmmts.

[@TaylorBell]

Ah man yeah it really happens no matter what unfortunately. But thank you so much, and keep going!!!

[@stepout555]

Your videos are dope. Your drive and work ethic is greatly admirable. Quite simply, you are a fucking boss. Thanks for the amazing content since day one. All the best, Ms. Taylor Bell.

[@TaylorBell]

My goodness thank you very much 🙈

[@R2a1do-adrian]

Congrats on reaching half a million subscribers, Taylor. I love your channel and you have the most infectious personality, so it's no surprise you hit this milestone. 1m next!

[@TaylorBell]

THANK YOU, and that is so sweet!!!

[@simonvetter2420]

Since you asked, I'm mostly here for (and found you while looking for) the NYC-vlog lifestyle type videos. I don't totally ignore anything from you that isn't this but I enjoy these the most. Other than that, congratulations for 500k, f the haters and keep up the good work! Have a nice day :-)
