The TRUTH about making youtube videos...

[@hkaraman00]

Tasneem, dont feel discouraged. Wallahi when I think of the first muslim youtubers that I have been watching you are literally one of them. Its you, Dina, and fouseytube. I still watch you till this day.

[@TCt83067695]

Fouseytube? Yikes

[@Girlwithfreemind]

Yes!!! You are the first Muslim KZbinr I found after reverting. However, do what is best for you. ❤❤❤

[@rasberries566]

Your channel is a gem. I feel like I watched you in so many stages of life starting from college. Learning a lot. Your impact is felt. Keep going

[@costanzapolastri]

you’re one of those creators that I’m really looking forward to watch, like “oh good tazzy phe uploaded can’t wait to be done with work so I can go home and listen to her video while I cook tonight!” type of creator I’d miss you if you were gone from the platform, I absolutely get it bc youtube is very tough even just as a hobby or part time job, but yeah I think your videos are cool and as long as you stay, I’m ride or die ahah happy holidays!

[@chocolaaateful]

GIIIIIIRL stop bullying yourself! You are fun and make interesting content, May Allah guide you to what's best for you ameen. keep your head up!

[@Applxy354]

You think you cover a wide variety of topics and that prevented you from reaching 1M? Just want you to know that this is exactly why I watch your videos. You make so much sense to me. You are logical. I like how you breakdown things when you explain something. Don't stop. You could consider taking a break

[@Cheesecake_mmm]

agree. Variety is the zest of life.

[@hausafilmstv]

May Allah protect you from mean comments and grant you the sabr to keep going and benefiting ameen. Byeee!!! P.S. would love to know where that came from as my sister in law says baiiii the same way and we love it😅

[@ryumitsurugi2088]

The Queen of Muslim American ladies, Tazzy is an inspiration and role model for thousands of women and girls! Please 🙏 inshallah keep making people inspired!

[@inumira]

Hey Tazzy, this is probably my 3rd ever youtube comment and I want to write it to let you know that I absolutely appreciate your efforts in blessing us with your content. I completely understand that it doesn't feel great to not visually see as many fruits from your work as others but I honestly think that what you're doing is so so valuable and I'm making Du'a that Allah will reward you for your work and everything good that you've brought about. I will always click on your videos because I love listening to your thoughs (on basically any topic). It's always relatable, it's always funny, it's always entertaining but it's also always deep and meaningful and not just run-of-the-mill surface-level scrolling content and I really appreciate that. Thank you for providing me with original food for thought which I almost ALWAYS share with my friends sooner or later and I will try and help your channel grow even a little bit by recommending it to my friends more and sharing your videos. Salams & lots of love from germany :)

[@mlee-w664]

Recent subscriber here: As a non-Muslim man, I don't believe I am the "target demographic," but the community you've fostered here is very supportive and positive. I really appreciate your nuanced takes and candidness surrounding difficult topics. Your videos are down-to-earth and very approachable, and that's what I love about this channel. Don't give up. You are making a positive influence!

[@Cluelessmee]

I think almost all of the people i really love watching on youtube have good personalities, are fun and are worth listening to! And you are one of them. I would say the conventionally good looking people can make us follow them with a thumbnail itself, its true but you hardly go back to watching their videos, you never wait for their videos, if their content is meh. You are getting a lot better at this, the editing, the creativity is poppin! Please keep doing this at whatever pace is good for you at the moment ❤

[@lighto2240]

I agree

[@BelezaArtistica]

You know what sis… It took me two days to get through the video (I get interrupted a lot and then forget to come back to things 😅) and I’m glad it did. Here’s some things that I took away from your video: 1) We are multiplicitous - We have many different sides to us, many different feelings and emotions, even at times different personalities. 2) We grow, learn and change more often than we realize. 3) Your feelings are valid, even if no one else gets them. 4) How nature has affects on our mental wellbeing. 5) No one can ever question your work ethic, your drive, your tenacity, your passion seriously. Because you got the years, the content and the achievements and accolades to back it! Alhamdulillah and may Allah bless you with a 1000x better Ameen. 🤲🏽💚

[@zubedauddin8102]

I hope this may help. I feel your strength lies in offering social critique as the South Asian diaspora navigates the challenges the 2nd/3rd generations have that other groups cannot relate to, at a time when such issues are largely overlooked by mainstream commentary. However, I feel when offering social critique its important to include other voices on said issues to balance out perspectives. I feel you could make your channel a safe space to have these much needed discussions. Its heartbreaking to hear some comments destroy you, I'm sorry to hear you feel like this. Sending you a virtual hug. Thank you for your content.

[@Zauree]

I only recently got into your content and really appreciate the voice and presence you give to hijabi women ❤ I pray you continue to grow and thrive in whatever you decide for yourself!

[@fatimahanif3244]

Tasneem you are a rare individual that only some of us, has the honor of experiencing, watching your videos feels like a warm hug and the best way to unwind

[@senan13]

Pray istikhara (more than once if necessary) for clarity on what to do 🥰 FWIW I hope you keep posting

[@mariams.4953]

Tazzy, I totally understand how you feel. But I just want you to know how much I love and appreciate you. DEEPLY. I am so grateful. I love your insight and perspective. I literally get so excited when I see your videos and add them to my watch later so I can watch them as soon as I get a free moment. It feels like speaking to a beautiful, intelligent, well-articulated friends who gets life and asks the right questions. Beautiful inside and out. Please know how much we appreciate all your efforts ❤❤❤

[@theweastwumbologist]

I'm really happy i came across your channel, i could hear you "ramble" all day and be noddin my head in agreement- or pause bc you bring up things i may not have been aware of and i truly appreciate your delivery! I'm sorry you're starting to feel disheartened and i really hope that you continue anyway (cuz i think people are sleepin on your channel). Also ppl on the internet can be so cruel and disgusting and i am sorry that people have gone out their way to make racist comments on your appearance. You're beautiful and your perspective should be heard!

[@sunnybhai1904]

Of course my opinion doesn’t mean much (new subscriber) but in general i find that it’s nice just to have another desi person out there, you know see desi faces, desi people just like myself, just to see regularly. So while you’re seeking validation, I feel I am my self. It’s hard living without it.

[@BelezaArtistica]

And I just want to add, that I understand your struggle of being well into your craft and still not feeling that you got it quite right. SubhanAllah… But if I may give some words of encouragement… You do have a common theme that runs deep throughout your content and something that has been there the whole time, “the human experience”. Through your worldview that you share with us. To me whatever you have ever made, has been brush strokes on your life’s masterpiece. And the reason why it does yet make sense, is because your not yet done painting your masterpiece. It’s only done once you leave this life. Isn’t it true that the best paintings have light and dark? Many different colors and textures? So too is life Alhamdulillah and there is good in every situation for the believers 😊. Enjoy the process sis the process of becoming and discovering you. Much love sis to you and yours 😘🤲🏽💚

[@yourmachine27]

I appreciate your authenticity. You are beautiful inside and out!!!!

[@macondiano503]

I guess I never really thought about your channel that way. I guess you really do cover a wide variety of topics but I don't know, to me it does make sense? Real life isn't really organized into echo chambers and algorithms like a lot of social media content is, and I feel like your channel really reflects that. In fact, I think it's very nice that your space isn't segmented into a tiny bubble like a lot of peoples'. It can be very maddening, honestly, especially when there's things like what's happening in Gaza right now and people are just living in their own separate fantasy worlds... I think your channel makes a lot of sense b/c it's essentially just you going through the stages life like a lot of people do. Social life, religion, identity, culture, all in one place. You don't always see that, especially done so honestly and genuinely.

[@lilstig4431]

Tasneem, you’re a one of a kind genuine, intelligent, thoughtful, accomplished, funny and BEAUTIFUL woman mA. Easier said than done but don’t listen to what these keyboard warrior losers are saying. I’ve been a fan of your channel for years and am about the same age as you, you’re like the cool female Muslim friend I never had lol that I wanted. Don’t ever feel discouraged or bad about yourself, your channel appeals to the minority intellectual audience. Other channels may grow faster it’s bc they appeal to heard mentality sheep audience. Think of your audience as a few decent ppl over thousands of zombies. iA hope you will get the fruits of your labor 🤗

[@Aieshoo]

Haters hate you cause they ain't you. Haters throw on their shades when they are in the direct view of the sunlight. 😎

[@cloelandry4501]

I discovered you many, many years ago, making funny skits with your friends... I witnessed you growing and become someone I am still interested in listening to. Yes, your subjects are all over the place, but that's what I like. Life is about more than one subject. Understandably, not making great money here might make it difficult to put all this time and work in. I get it. Whatever you choose to do in future, I trust your judgement. Just remember that you inspired and guided so many people along the way, and all of this was worth it. Thank you for diving deep into sensitive subjects, for giving us so much of your time, for staying true to yourself, for making us think. P.S. You are absolutely beautiful, inside and out. People who attack others like this, especially online, are usually miserable and have low self-esteem. They try to get everyone around to lower to their level. Don't. Keep your chin up, cause you're amazing.

[@yellowlemondrop000]

I’ve been watching you for a LOOOOOONNNNGGGG time. And I have to say I love your videos. This long time fan will support you no matter what. Someone else said pray istikhara and make your decision.

[@ItsRadishTime]

WOOF i am thinking about what my exit strategy is constantly, but also i don't know who I am without this.

[@faryq1410]

What I love about this channel is that there's always something thoughtful on here, and it's a pick and mix ... its no fixed thing and you've persevered and stayed true to yourself, and despite every set back you've tenaciously, stubbornly, continued to exist and grow and refused to fit in the box everyone tries to trap you in ... I want to still be watching you when we have wrinkles and zimmer frames ... I'm gonna stop now

[@iimimat]

What you can’t quit I get so much happiness from your channel! JK you can do whatever you want but I do like your content and maybe your connection with your audience can shift to podcast form or something I don’t know. Anyway after you have a kid you will have even more restrictions on your schedule and maybe podcasts or videos will be an enjoyable outlet for you bc motherhood is prettttyyyyy isolating

[@appleciderr114]

I love your honestly. It’s so real, and I think that’s why it resonates with so many people. At least, that’s why I love your channel and engaging with it. I know this might sounds too simple…but sleep is so so important. Maybe taking time off your 9 to 5 and KZbin and then creating ways to sleep more consistently, would do wonders for your health. Like you missing stop signs or any trouble driving, may be a key sign of not getting enough sleep mainly

[@serrgggeo]

Girl wtf you mean you just getting started get outta here with that voice, as long as you wanna share that magic, you got folks rooting for the Taz!!! Ooookay!!!??

[@Cheesecake_mmm]

I love your candidness as others have said. You're one of the few Muslim women who focus on real talk and things that matter. You're always so relatable. How is your pilot show going? Praying you follow the path that feels authentic to you x

[@Hercub]

Dude I literally just started a channel and I resonated with a lot of what you said especially the unexpected self growth you talked about. Anyway love your videos, please DONT GIVE UP!

[@bugbear89]

It hurts my heart to see you put so much pressure on yourself to be positive and also feel like those nasty comments are somehow true. You're a beautiful, ambitious, and caring young woman from what I see. But I also get how it feels to believe in comments like that. I have body dysmorphia and it's always been a battle with my brain to not distort how I look so I can justify cruelty to myself. You're allowed to feel negative things it's just what we end up doing with them at the end of the day. I think no matter what you chose to do/talk about on whatever platform people who care about what you have to say will follow. Wish you the best in figuring out what is your best course of action and may Allah bless you with support and strength.

[@gusokello3071]

YOU ARE NEEDED ! Please get a Sleep monitor wearable e.g Oura Ring or Samsung watch coz GREAT SLEEP fixes so many issues we perceive as mental or being overwhelmed

[@ceilconstante640]

Tasneem, I am so sorry you've had to endure reading mean spirited hurtful comments from heartless Narcissistt! I love listening to you! You have a lot of interesting perspectives and explore a wide variety of real life topics with sensitivity and compassion. You articulate what its like to be brown from immigrant strict parents with an amazing sense of humor! And, you're very intelligent, stable and grounded. You are also beautiful without hiding behind makeup or styled hair and your inner beauty shines forth.

[@pritulkhan1395]

Man, the world is a dark dark place. People are just so mean and I'll never relate to what content creators go through. Trolls are just a loud minority. The ones who appreciate you and love your content are typically the ones who stay silent. I think we as a collective need to bring positivity to the creators who bring value and a perpsective. I don't watch your videos much but your rant about the trolls hit me... no one deserves to be hurt this way. F them... you do you. But also take a mental health break, you earned it

[@googlyeyes444]

I love your channel and your videos, they help me so much to feel seen as a pakistani-canadian woman in her mid 20s. I feel like you are my sister, cousin. Its so important to see diverse south asian representation in the media because we are still lacking it, at least in north america. Your mentioning of the comments on your appearance - i too internalized so many comments about my appearance growing up, my pakistani crooked nose, people telling me i was deformed, i spent so many years trying so hard to look different to fit in because i was ashamed of my pakistani features. i admit i had cosmetic work done even, and regret it now because i look at you and see how beautiful pakistani features are. Our unique beauty is not appreciated enough. i appreciate you and see you!

[@prince.c8458]

Thank you for making this video and sharing. You definitely are a 1M+ subscriber quality creator. 🙏

[@SatansRoerhat]

I love your heart and creativity ❤ I feel blessed to be able to follow your journey, as long as you'll let us. Jazakallahu khayran

[@erikaasif6384]

I love all your videos ! 🥰 You're so unique and I love your work. People like you are hard to find, you're special and beautiful. Ignore the weirdos they do it to everyone. You're a gem💎

[@ln393]

TASNEEM UR AMAZING, HVE ALWAYS BEEN WATCHING UR CHANNEL.

[@rummiiis6667]

Resonated with this so much ! I hope you find your way inshAllah and whatever is best is what happens. But I have learned a lot from you and look forward to your videos! Inspires to me to make my own video journal 📝 one day …😊😅

[@camouflageishere5502]

NO DONT STOP I LOVE YOUR INTRO AND YOUR VIDEOS

[@rememberthebrowngurl]

I know the video is serious but I JUST LOVE YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR 😂❤

[@TCt83067695]

What i love most is your editing skills. Would you ever consider becoming an editor or do you prefer to only edit your stuff?

[@jasminefremdehake2354]

I love you replying & commenting to yourself 😃

[@mooktakim]

The thing about mentorship is that the mentors aren't supposed to tell you what to do. That's not their job. If they are doing this, it's not a good thing. Every situation is different. Mentors should be asking you questions you have yet to ask yourself. They should help you think differently, consider new angles, etc. That way, you can come up with a solution.

[@hadiyas5777]

Haters gonna hate. You’re awesome and beautiful. You are my favorite hijabi/Muslim KZbinr. We love your videos even when they’re all over the place, cuz we love you! My favorite parts about your channel is that it’s not basic fashion/beauty/lifestyle like almost every other hijabi KZbinr. You feel relatable, and real. ❤️

[@Arnmpsunotijogoth]

Maybe the mentor can help you narrow down, you never know. Also I can’t really talk because I’m in the same boat and think I should wait until I figure that out lol

[@Ek-ul3kb]

I think this channel is finished? But wanted to let you know I think your videos and chats were awesome. I wish you'd stuck around but of course not if it was making you unhappy.

[@Mam-njb]

I’ve been feeling similar, you guys should ready a book called The Dip by Godin it helped me put things in perspective

[@jaxjax5489]

If you ever work out this commitment issue around channel direction then please share. I feel like you know what you need to hit the numbers but you don't want to do it, that it cheapens the content, or you don't want to commit to it that hard? I struggle with a similar issue. I have this hipster attitude of self-sabotage over everything I do where I struggle to stick to a particular theme or finish a particular piece of work. I have loads of great things that I've 89% built that people have given me extremely positive and enthusiastic feedback on, and then I just drop them instantly and I can't explain it. I refuse to succeed. A great example of this is I've been doing standup recently, enjoying it, getting great reception but I've stumbled across a stupid idea that I won't put down that is extremely self-destructive: I don't want a stage name. Now I don't mean I want to use my real name but rather I don't want a name or a brand. Or if I have a stage name then I will change it every single year or performance. And I love the idea, I'm even writing a set on it because its a little funny when you explore how absurd life becomes without a name and having your name open creates lot of opportunities for jokes (and I _love_ making up new stupid names). This is combined with my probably therapy level issues around my real-name, but its self-destructive and it creates hesitation. I genuinely wonder if any of this is linked to the fact that these are all hobbies for me because I have a great full time job that I really enjoy, and pays good, much like you mention how you also have a full time job. Btw, I know positive comments are but flecks of sand in the breeze compared to the breezeblock sized power of negative comments; but you do look absolutely beautiful, so if you ever question that again then I think you have to replace your eyes or smth cause they ain't working. I have a similar issue as I am half-English and my English side of the family mostly look like ferrets or something and it took me _way_ too fucking long to realise I am actually pretty af, despite dating apps doing their level best to try to deny me that truth.

[@MadAtGenocideApologistsMAGA]

Tasneem, you are amazing. My daughters love your content and you are great role model for them. I believe it’s time to focus on your family, have some children inshallah and live your life and be happy. Poo tube is not worthy my sister in Islam
