I am not going to lie-I do care that you don’t like my video.
I made it and uploaded it to YouTube because I thought it had some value, some utility. And seeing that little thumbs down icon always hurts a little.
It hurts if it is genuine and my video is truly worthy of the thumbs down.
I don’t care, however, if you gave it the thumbs down because you are a begrudger.
I don’t care if you are a whinger.
Or a naysayer.
Or a hater.
Or a regular habitue of the swamp of jealously and envy.
And the bad news for you, and good news for me, is that tomorrow I get the chance to upload another.
And another.
Because all I need is a mobile phone, an internet connection, and an idea.
And there are no gatekeepers now. Very few, anyway.
So, you can sit on the sideline and boo and give me the thumbs down when I make a video and upload to my YouTube channel.
Work away, knock yourself out. You only get one vote, though.
Meanwhile, I will keep making stuff and putting it into the world, and having a say.
And trying to serve the people I make it for.
It’s not for everyone, and if it’s not for you? Bang away on that button.
