Love this video! I have a lot of the same feeling lately about our channel. ❤️ Post What makes you happy!

[@respectvriendschaprelatie2922]

Living Rosa It's the same for you girls! Be who you are and stay who you are! Every youtuber should be who they are, i hope that one day everyone will comment with love and not hate.. 😘

[@geema2281]

I love you ladies so much!

[@brandybird9941]

love your channel the way it is!!!

[@larcballet1349]

Living Rosa you ladies are the best kind of wired and wonderful that I see a lot of myself and my partner in. Real truth is better than fake reality tv

[@carolinevel94]

[@ACMortmaine]

Contrary to what a lot of youtube viewers seem to think, you do not owe us anything. If you put up content, then bonus for us, we get to see your awesome face! If you don't, then we should all be respectful. I do not understand the sense of "ownership" viewers seem to feel over youtubers when they subscribe to a channel. So, please do what makes you happy, only make videos when you want to, and also, your hair looks amazing in this video!

[@BORNIN199X]

Brittany Knowles Preach 👏

[@smallkrall5367]

Yessss

[@mercysegen9453]

True, for us it's free anyways. It's a bit weird to feel "ownership" of a youtube video. It would be like having a conversation with someone and saying "no please stop talking about things the way you do, I don't like it".

[@daniellemcneil4923]

Do you Steph! Just be happy with who you are and what you do! We’ll be here❤️

[@MeiMeiMartin]

i will support you no matter what. i love u so much steph u are so strong and u are such an amazing person. keep smiling ♡

[@ariesgalindo4547]

I can appreciate another social introvert. Yay for personal space! Thank you for sharing. I started following a while back because I appreciated and still do appreciate your approach.

[@anewelement]

Thank you for the honesty you gave in this video! KZbin and the Internet has changed so much and there definitely is a lot of pressure to be a certain way or do a certain thing for followers and likes. Watching your video has been so refreshing and it’s great to see someone who sees this trend and is deciding go their own path despite the external pressures. Thank you for being honest and being true to yourself!

[@carriedail6760]

I hope that you get to do everything you want this year. I will watch whatever you want to share so don't stress too much. Everything is going to be fine.

[@alyssabelmares8734]

I subscribed because of this video! Creature of habit and only watched the people I originally started watching on KZbin. But as I’ve been venturing out , I have yet to find someone so real and down to earth ! I myself and going through a transition phase where I just don’t want to be the person people think of me as but I want to be all of my whole self 100%. Loved the video. This hit home!

[@candinichole5506]

Thank the stars! I am glad to see that you want to be true to yourself. It is so difficult being on youtube these days, especially with a large following, and you are so right. If they ain’t payin you, fuck it!

[@johanna____8462]

You’re videos helped me to well.. feel normal. Thanks for being here. As long as you’re comfortable and happy I’ll be happy for you. I’m so sorry you felt pressured to stay here in a negative space. You’re beautiful smart strong and inspiring for me and many others. So you do what feels right for you. We’ll love you no matter what.

[@dorotheaschofield629]

I have so much respect for you and all you should be doing is something that full fills your life and your thoughts!!! Keep on going. You are an inspiration ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@xyreweltmon3215]

Hey, no matter what I think the vast majority of people here love you and will follow you no matter where you go or what you do. I'm looking forward to everything you do going forward xo

[@laksjdfhghfhdkskdjfh]

Thanks for always being here. I came out because of you. So don't doubt your positive influence. You've always been great. At any rate. Good for you for sticking up for yourself

[@lalacameron170]

Just be you because your an amazing person. Be who you want to be for yourself. I love you and will always support you!

[@kincy0409]

Steph, i just want to say. i've been watching your video since way back. And i have to say, you are one of the most genuine, good hearted person i've seen on this site. So you do you. We'll love you no matter what :)

[@ashlynncarole2014]

Steph I love you so much. I may not know the real you I only know the social media you, but I love it all. The 3-5 minute videos you post make my day. You don’t have to be “perfect” cause no one is perfect. I could never thank you enough for this side of you I’ve gotten to see. ❤️

[@meganrose9871]

Inspirational video Steph! Don’t let others define who you are! your not here to live life for them your here for you that’s all that matters so stay strong and hold your head up high because your awesome!

[@shaysmith9182]

I haven’t watched any older videos of yours but you seem pretty badass. You do you girl!

[@thatpersonnamedmyles6273]

I love you steph so much! I will always be here for you no matter what! I hope you see this, you are loved and you are valid. Thank you for everything.

[@noorverbiest2961]

I really love your honesty! You're right not everyone will like you the way your are, but that is their problem not yours to solve! Anyway I've always appreciate your work. And I think you are great!

[@Alana-nd4ih]

Thank you so much for making this video it really showed us what you really are I love you Steph and I'll always be here to support you no matter what happens ❤️

[@MammaMea99]

All love and support for what is to come! (Side note: I love how Nugget came and looked at the camera at the end there like "don't hurt my momma, Imma hurt you back" so precious and adorable!)

[@sabinecervenaka7359]

I love how your cat protects you! You're so smart, open-minded, honest and just nice! Make the best decision for yourself and at the end there will be people who will listen, who will help and who will protect and respond! ;) You're awesome, stay there! :))

[@peterj.1960]

I've been following your channel for about 4 years now and I've never been happier to see a new post from you than this one. Good for you! I'm so happy that you are doing what YOU want to do again! You be you bc no one else will ever do it like you can. Unless they get a really good actor to play you in the biographical movie of your life and how you helped change the world. Well, I think they need to make one some day. 😊 Thank you for continuing to post videos and not giving others the satisfaction of getting you to give up. Much love and respect Stephanie. I'm looking forward to your new content and hope your stress goes down a ton!

[@dillonationn]

#asksteph Realizing I'm 30 and have been following your youtube since I was maybe 17? whoa... could that be true???? Cheers to the future of whatever you choose to do!

[@Julia-yd7bo]

dillonationn I am 20 and I follow her since I am 13, that's not as long as you watch steph but it's a looooong time! Steph also kinda teached me to understand english (like way better than my teachers did :D)

[@Brookeemac]

dillonationn this channel has only been around for 6-7 years i believe. not sure if she had another previous.

[@dillonationn]

Must have followed her somewhere else then. LiveJournal maybe? Not sure..

[@red_locarno]

dillonationn isn't she only 24 ??

[@daisyrosales5260]

We all face challenges along the road to reach our destination in our journey and you are finding the right path for yourself. I never vame on her to your channel because of “shes pretry” “she’ll have good content” i came on because i saw your videos literally in one day then i rewatch and rewatch and say your a smart indepent women who is informativez you made me feel happy and gor me to see i’m not alone and i even bettered myself because of you whatever you end up doing ill support and still watch btw readings the jam even rho i cant read ... im blind so audo books all the way if u wana chat hmu iv been dying to meet u n thank u in person for just being helpful

[@magicalunicorn1439]

I'm sorry that you went through all that, and I'm glad you're putting yourself first and just being who you are. No matter what you've got thousands of people backing you myself included.

[@sarasky9400]

I love this video. It's literally you being you. Please please please be you. Those of us who love the content you started with and still make will stick around. Much love from someone I think you saved with your advice. X

[@expellingpoison]

Way to go! I thank you for being so honest. Also for working to make this world a better place. I've been struggling with some similar issues (not about KZbin obviously) but about how people see me. Your words helped me with a very hard decision. This world really is getting negative. Thanks for inspiring me to keep going even when the darkness does not seem to lift. Prayers and good wishes to you.

[@cassiemaayzombiesceks2256]

I will support you with anything you do. And I’m so glad you did this for yourself. I love you girl. Be happy, take care of yourself. That’s what truly matters.

[@jparrish6751]

Quality over anything else. Be you over anything else. Btw that shirt is fire!

[@tristenlively89]

Hey, I’ve been around for a couple years now on multiple accounts and I’ve stuck with you and always supported you. You may say you’re not inspirational but you’ve inspired me to be me. I hope you get into your best mental place and keep being true to yourself. I’m so excited to see where you’re going to go from here because I know it’ll be great and so will you. Best wishes. 🖤

[@GojkoGojkovich77]

Positivity! Love the direction you're going to take your channel

[@macgrace2324]

What I love most about your videos is some how they just feel like a conversation with a friend even though you are just a stranger on a screen and honestly I’ll always consider you my favorite KZbinr for that

[@Amae33]

This video was so refreshing and well articulated and I feel such a cleansed feeling from you. I also can almost feel your weight lifted off your shoulders and a new sense of relief washed over you,through the screen. I am so proud of you and I am genuinelly happy for you 💞✌🌈

[@elisas1626]

I’ll always stick around for you! I love this video and i’m really proud of you! Do the things that make you happy❤️

[@scleogrl82]

You are great Steph... been watching you for years... just be you and don't worry about others!!

[@jayfinazzo2724]

We will always support you though thick and thin! I will always love your videos no matter how you present yourself online! Ilysm!❤️

[@Xeligab]

I really appreciate and love this video. Honest and true. As you say there will be always someone will not appreciate what we are or do. So, don't care about people might or not like, just do whatever makes you happy is the most important thing. I wish you the very best in whatever you do! :)

[@reyne8424]

I've been watching your videos since the beginning, one of your videos about coming out from 2011 or so was the first 'gay' one I watched when I found out I like women. I was 12! Ever since your words have helped me find some direction and learn about the community, love and respect. I don't enjoy nosing around in peoples lives, even when they open up like that, so I stopped watching regularly a while back. Still, every time I've occasionally seen one of your videos the last few years I learned something or smiled again after. No matter who you might be in real life, what you put out there for people to watch really helped me with life , over and over again. I wish you all the best, love and happiness, no matter how you lead your life or how much you show it. Do what makes you happy and don't what takes that hapiness away!

[@kattdabs1910]

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 love you girl stay true to youuu🤟🏼💜

[@ocrossrep]

Welcome to the Fuck-it phase of life. You will do just fine in it. I can not wait to see a refreshed view from you. You have support here, and hopefully from everyone else below. Thank You for what you are doing and trying to do, to bring about a safe place for idea exchanges, and information in a thoughtful and concise manor.

[@MountyDani13]

I love this. Finally someone says it how it is... glad I'm not feeling alone on this! Proud of you and I love this video. Thank you for voicing your honesty and no matter your fans will be there for you ☺ Create content that you enjoy and fuck the numbers and what people think. Do what you want not what you think people want. I get that's the status quo now but you have a choice not to conform to it. Good luck for the future Stephen and I'm soooo happy for you.

[@stephaniemay5895]

Steph, you have more strength than you seem realize. You have a beautiful spirit and have been a pillar of strenth to your audience. Please dont let the negativity that has been clouding around you stamp out the positive light within you. Life comes with both good and bad but they can be transformative. Always remember who you are and what you want to be in the world. Leave your mark and you will impact others.

[@BudderBaccaFTW]

Fuck I'm so glad you're gonna make things that make you happy, I don't care what you put up but if you're proud and happy with it I'll enjoy it, thank you

[@joketsu100]

You are right the one thing I hate most about KZbin is how for some reason lots of people love to be negative about everything they possibly can and judge and criticize people they don't know behind the safety of a screen. Some of these people are the same ones supporting you right now. There are too many fake people in this world. I would always try to stick up for you because I felt bad. You seem like a really nice person who admits they aren't perfect. Good luck with everything

[@alyssateter17]

It's great to know KZbin still has genuine creators on it that are good people

[@hannahbaron9354]

We love you Steph. I want you to be you because that’s who I started watching on KZbin and that’s why I started watching you on KZbin. Authenticity is attractive and not many people can do that. Thank you!

[@samclifford4374]

Love you Steph! Do what makes you happy!! ❤️

[@lisalittle5850]

I’m new to your channel and will just say I think you’re a fantastic person and whatever you decide to do I’ll follow you. Too bad KZbin isn’t as welcoming a platform as you deserve. Do you boo!❤️😎

[@rhishum]

Love you Steph! Hope you come back soon, missing you ❤️

[@juniemond]

I so much support this video und I wish, more people would come around and address this. Because - yes, social media are feeding into negativity, hate, serparation. Why? Because that is what gets likes and clicks. This system of liking the negativ drama, when it is somebodys personal story is inhuman. Social media where create as a social tool for people to get together and share. But they are seprerating, creating a dangerous and depressing word. Thank you for really sharing.

[@Jay-gn2dw]

I've been trying really hard to come up with words to say here and I'm really struggle because there's so much that I want to say to you, but I can't put it all into a coherent comment. But some things that I do really want to say are that I absolutely adore you. I love how much you care for your people, but also for yourself. I love that you're doing this both us and yourself. I love that you want to stand out and change things, even though you're fighting such a large company. I love that your channel isn't just something that makes us laugh and cry, but a place of safety and comfort and support. I love how honest you are. I absolutely love you. I can't wait to see what you have in store for the future. Thank you for creating a channel that has become a safe place to come to for anything. Thank you standing up for what you believe in even when you're scared. Thank you for being you. I love you and I can't wait to have a chance to get to know you.

[@Kirbykfed89]

Deep breath Steph! We love you for who you are! Can't wait to see the new and improved 2018 Steph! 😉❤

[@moonikarauk1856]

You go girl!!! 😘 Stay true to yourself ☺️

[@Nyedav]

Excited for the future of your channel and content! 💗

[@KristinaCMigo]

You do you, never change for anyone else, and we will support you 'til the end :D

[@promisemendinueto3205]

I will always love you no matter what. Weither you be ElloSteph or Stephanie Frosch, I am sticking around for the long run. Can't wait for future content!

[@ROCKONplaceboforever]

Always love you steph thank you for your honestly and you are beautiful and amazing no matter what always a supporter and fan of you and everything you do and involved with and look after yourself and make the video's I'll watch you and continue to support xxxxx you are so smart and positive you helped me so much and you continue to do so

[@ellaweaver3909]

I’m not going anywhere. Make yourself happy and I’ll be happy, too. Love to you and Nugget!

[@meganvarble3116]

Honestly, I don't watch for your content or your personal life. I just love watching you because of your personality, you are such a beautiful person in and out. Plus nugget is cute too lol

[@chrisrye4282]

ElloSteph is one of the reasons I felt safe as who i am.... she gave me hope to see that I'm not wrong for being me.... I'm sorry Steph you get so much negativity but know you make a impact for good too I'm greatly for people like you in the world if not for people like you i wouldn't be here today.... I'm a 19 yr FTM trans just know you'll be missed

[@gillianmcdonald8298]

Love watching your videos! You are a true inspiration :) love your honesty and your videos no matter the length or topic

[@WireSync]

I want that content, im here for the ride and the community is here eager awaiting your next project with enthuseasm.

[@KensieP]

I really appreciate you making this video and I fully respect every decision you've made around social media. I will be forever grateful to you because your videos helped me through a time when I was confused. I didn't know what to do and was shutting down and you helped me learn about myself and feel confident to be my true self and love who I want to love. Thanks to your videos I grew the courage to make a move on a girl who will become my wife in a few short months. Could never express how much you've helped me. Thank you

[@KensieP]

Also this is referring to your 2012-13 videos :)

[@ShortArse17]

Tell them!! People dont understand how hard it is to sit there and speak to the world. Back off people, this girls on a mission!! Keep up the fantastic work and upload whenever you want, I will still watch you no matter what!!

[@evajji1976]

God Damn. I love Steph so much. Even though I don't know her as a person. Personally. I know her as a public role model. She has grown as my role model for the past 2 years and I absolutely love it. She's let me come to my true self and be more confident. One day I hope to actually know her but I hope she knows that her following supports her no matter what. She's a normal human being that is amazing.

[@Viootoku]

Just do you, and do what you love. You don't have to explain to anybody about what you want to do with your life. One life, do with it what you want and live without regret x

[@tiffanysky8521]

A friend once told me 'sometimes you have to be selfish' and I guess it's true, just make content that will male you feel comfortable sharing and making, we all will love it, so don't waste your mind on not worth stuff

[@hiralmakhecha5542]

I love you so much xxx just carry on, don't stop. Change youtube! you can do it

[@Emily-my2mx]

I discovered you through your relationships, but as someone who kinda doesn't talk about my sexuality (while it sits in my mind), you are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for being on KZbin and I'll follow you and your content, and I hope this new chapter is good to you ♥

[@brittaniejester4409]

Your mental and physical health are your top priority. You should never have to apologize for doing what you need to do to maintain that health. I wish you the best of luck with all your ventures Stephanie, both on and -more importantly- offline. ❤

[@DawnT__]

I’m the master of being introverted. I’m ok with it and if someone else doesn’t like me for it, I don’t give a shit. I’m always going to be me. Like me, hate me I don’t care. You just keep being yourself. Give it time and you’ll figure out what’s best for you. KZbin isn’t worth stressing over.

[@jessiestr1379]

I agree with every single word, internet is just a hard place to stay in, everytime I gave myself I break from it I felt way better, even tho I always come back because is how I get my money from. I wish deeply that people could turn into something better instead of so much hate as nowadays! But well I can not fix that, neither you or anybody, it has to be something everyone should start for itself! Starting with less judgment, more acceptance and more love! The truth is: the person on the screen, in the picture or whatever is just a 10s / 1min of it’s life, you never know how people truly are till you actually spend couple weeks/months or even more with them! I hope you gonna be able to make a content that makes you happy whether people gonna like it or not, you are the one that matters first! And it’s not selfish taking care of yourself and your happiness first! I will be always a loyal follower and I wish nothing but love and peace for you life and your truth self 🤙🏻

[@ItsTorple]

Good for you for taking care of yourself. Those are hard realizations!

[@BasselSAMO]

Next year's video; "WHY I LEFT EARTH"

[@kuronya2220]

This is very true people can be harsh but at the same time you can’t let that get to you. People will have their opinions. You gotta do you bc you can’t please everyone! We love you Steph! Keep on making great content.

[@marissaclifford4882]

Steph , I loved every single thing about this video! I love hearing how your channel started! I am so proud of you that you know who you are, and that your staying true to who you are! I love you for who you are! I do think your really inspirational though, and maybe someday you will believe that as much as I do, but for right now I'm going to just keep supporting you with your channel, and helping you as much as I can for your channel! It's so sad that you grew up feeling so alone! I always try to help other people who need it, and I spread a lot of positivity online, I do understand though why it's so hard! That's totally ok for you not to let everyone know about your life, and just work towards being happy, and helping other people be happy! I can't even begin to explain how frustrated and disappointed I am that KZbin does not value the lbgt community! I promise you 100% that I will always love, respect, support, and help the lbgtq+ community as much as I possibly can! I'm working my hardest to get KZbin to have different monetization rules! I am so excited for to hear about and if you need/want me to even give you ideas for your new growth of your channel! It's so understandable Steph that you were so worried about getting views, and likes, and being judged! Although not particularly my favorite hobby or anything I think it is so fantastic that you love reading! I would be amazed if you wrote a book and I would be so proud, maybe you could write a book with people's premission resolved around their story, and write about their lives, and what their lives were like after talking with you! I know that KZbinr's writing books and I think you would be great on it! Do you still have your blogs online? because I would really love to read them! :) I hope that you get what you need out of this KZbin channel in your upcoming projects and ideas for this channel! I hope that you don't still feel nervous about this video, because I don't know if you know this but you are so mature wether you believe it or not! I love that you have tried something new, and are trying something new now! I really hope that it works out all the best for you!! I really hope that you find your happiness in your content again! Don't ever feel like your alone in this KZbin platform because there have been other KZbinr's , lbgtq+ community or not, that have struggled with KZbins new rules and feeling the need to try new things or do something so it's not so stressful! I love how natural your makeup was in this video, how you are just honest, and direct, but not too direct! I hope that makes since lol don't really know how to word it! I love your background so much, you have such a beautiful house!!! You really are so much more inspiring than you know, I bet a lot of KZbinrs as well as fans are inspired by this video and your channel!! I love muffin, he is so cute and I really hope that he is doing well! If you feel ok telling me How old is Muffin? I love you so much Steph!!! xxxxxxxxxxxx I'm praying that this channel has even more than you hoped and dreamed of! Please there is no need to worry anymore!!! :) xxxxxxxxxxxxx Hugs, prayers, and lots of love to you Steph!

Please please please make content that you love making, that's how all the greatest things are made. I wish more creators would create for themselves instead of chasing what's supposed to be cool and popular, there would be so much more color in this world.

[@clodaghtotterdell1861]

Just be you❤️

[@camillegirard9007]

the person you want to be and who makes you happy and not the one that people want you to be

[@blablabla8968]

It's true, we don't really know you, moreover this don't send away the fact that you can be, by your work and words, an inspiration. And you're right, you should do whatever makes you happy and not just because other people want to. You seem to be a true person, it's really a relief, so continue on your way, there will always be people supporting you.

[@speeeee35]

TBH I wasn't subbed before, and would just check in from time to time, but you've got me intrigued haha so I subbed & put on the bell (I never do the latter lol)! Looking forward to see what you make in the future, and you're 100% right about what you said about KZbin. Honestly, the "adpocalypse", plus the end of Vine causing all the Viners to come to KZbin COMPLETELY changed KZbin somehow and what it is. More than anything though, I think it was the whole change with the ads and that sorta thing that changed the vibe. IDK.... anyway, wishing you luck in the future and I look forward to seeing your next video, whenever it is ready.

[@arielle]

I love youuu

[@paulinebrus7580]
