I don’t even watch videos so I don’t thumbs up or down. I just think KW is a twat is all. Completely agree. I’m also not a Jennifer McGuire fan. It super annoys me when people defend Kristina or Jennifer by saying “look at how much work they do to give us all free content.” Um no. This is their job. J.O.B. Money honey. They make money off your views. Your clicks makes them $$$. Jennifer’s McGuire posts pictures of her at Disney and other places with captions about how hard she’s works to afford to do things like this. So no, she isn’t doing it for fun. It is not her not a hobby. She’s profiting off all of it. That makes her and everyone like her subject to feedback both good and bad. ✌️

I saw a YouTuber complain recently about getting one single dislike on her videos. She just couldn't figure out why anyone would give a thumbs down. Her reasoning was that people should be grateful and not complain because it's free content. I guess that's one point of view but to expect everyone to agree with that is silly. People have different opinions and they won't always be in line with ours. Fact of life. I checked CZ's IG stories and she doesn't have any right now. What did I miss?CZDesign - its all there.

And she doesn’t enjoy it like you assume. She was particularly prickly when she got a new craft room in their old house. It’s not a hobby, it’s WORK!! Like stfu already.

I just watched it and it made me want to go on YouTube and thumbs down all her videos. 🙄 I do appreciate the work people put in to creating content and generally thumbs up every video I was put on and only gave one thumbs down ever* but it’s naive to think everyone is going to love iwhat they do. A thumbs down here or there should be expected, no reason to give them power over your feed for the day. Instead of rants and tantrums, just go about your life. * the thumbs down was for a how to style your hair at home tutorial and the YouTube literally had a hair stylist set/style her hair in her home. 😂😂

I very rarely watch YT videos and even more rarer (is that how you spell it?) do I give a thumbs up or thumbs down. I do think all the complaining about it is whiney and honestly? Immature. Grow up. When people monetize their 'hobby' it is now a job. Act like it. Be professional. If someone doesn't like your card, oh well. Move along.

There's been some discussion in this thread about JM and KW. A few years ago, I was a total Jennifer McGuire and Kristina Werner fan girl. I watched their videos religiously. Now, however, I almost never do. I stopped watching Kristina after the video where she said people shouldn't copy her card designs directly. While on the one hand I understood what I think she was trying to say, I also felt like she didn't articulate it well and for newer card makers, made it seem like they were doing something wrong. That's not cool. Also, most of the cards I used to make were direct copies of what designers did, because for me, the joy was in the actual mechanical process of making the card, not in laying it out. If I created the card design myself, I spent forever second-guessing my placement, cardstock and ink choices and it was exhausting. When I was trying to enjoy myself, the last thing I wanted was to get anxious over more choices. (And just to clarify, these were just cards to send to friends and family, I did not sell them or share them on social media.)
I stopped watching Jennifer McGuire gradually, mostly I think because her videos got so long. I appreciate that she wants to show a lot of card examples but I often feel like 30-40 minutes for a card video is overkill. I also think her cards are really heavy on the techniques (especially ink blending and embossing) and I just don't enjoy those techniques or spending so much time on a card. It's her channel so I'm glad she makes cards she enjoys, but I've found that they don't resonate with me as much as they used to. As I've discovered my own style, I find that I tend to very simple cards. Sometimes I will invest the time in a card, especially for my yearly Christmas cards, but mostly I don't want a card to have a billion steps to recreate.
I have to say that one stamp company that I think is killing it with the simple cards is The Stamp Market. When I see their cards, they are always visually interesting, but once I start deconstructing them in my brain, I realize that they are quite simple to make.
I'm also over all the tiny critter stamps that require expensive matching die sets and intricate coloring. I like seeing what other people make with them, but for me, they're not worth the time or money you have to invest to use them.
Back on the topic of giving a thumbs down, one interesting bit of trivia is that when YouTube first started, they had a system where you could rate a video anywhere from 1 to 5 stars. However, YouTube found that people almost never chose 2-4 star ratings, instead giving only 1 or 5 ratings, so they turned it into a simple thumbs up or down, which means there's no longer a middle ground. Personally, I don't think I've ever given any video a thumbs down. If I don't enjoy the video, I just stop watching it. However, I don't think giving a thumbs down means you're a horrible person. CZ made the point in her stories that the reason she doesn't like thumbs down is because it doesn't tell the creator what to improve on and she'd much rather have the viewer make a comment. I can understand that, but it's not MY responsibility to critique your videos (and possibly deal with all the sycophants getting mad at me in the comments). If your thumbs down/thumbs up ratio is normal (i.e., mostly likes and a few dislikes), all that says is that you can't please everyone. If I never bought Amazon items that had any 1 star reviews, that would cut out 90% of the items they're selling. You have to look at the ratio of positive to negative reviews.

What a storm in a teacup! You tube gives you the option for thumbs up or down Why do then do the creators cry when people make their choice? Surely they are not so fragile Put yourself out there and some peolpe will disagree with you Surely that is ok? Public figures and politicians and celebrities and sports stars learn to cope as part of being in the public gaze. If you can’t cope then don’t post public content If I don’t like what you did for whatever reason it’s my choice If I should “just scroll past” or I am being unkind then don’t give me the choice to vote. Tall poppies stand out and some will be cut down That’s life-not everyone wins Surely their self worth is not linked to videos???

I like making CAS cards that can be used for anyone and multiple occasions. But I still buy the critter stamps, because they are so darn cute. But any technique that's got too many steps is a no for me. I lose patience and interest fast.

I just checked out CZ’s stories. I’m a little shocked at her comment about how nobody wants your opinion. Really? I can always show you my opinion by keeping my wallet shut.
What is it with these crafters? Let’s just all have sunshine and rainbows and join the mutual admiration society. And it’s not just YouTube. It extends to IG and Facebook. The Tracie Claiborne and Becky Higgins threads have discussions about how those two delete negative comments and ban users who disagree. It seems many of these celebs can’t take constructive criticism or even tolerate someone who’s opinion differs from theirs.

I find this all very first world problem-ish. I mean, really?! If you expect everyone to like everything you put out there then you are always going to be upset. I would like to add that I have accidentally thumbs downed a video before and not even realised it. If someone leaves very mean, hurtful comments on your YouTube video, things that have nothing to do with the actual content (things like wow you are ugly etc) that is one thing, but a thumbs down, really? Who knows maybe they just didn't like the product you were using? Or as someone said maybe its a kid trolling you. Who knows...stop trying to please everyone. Be happy with who you are and what you put out there or stop doing it. They really should be focusing on the positives and just ignoring the handful of thumbs down.

You know how some people still watch over-the-air TV or listen to over-the-air radio "for free"!?!? Does that mean they don't get to have an opinion about a TV show or radio program? Of course not, because TV and radio aren't really "free". We "pay" by watching or listening to ads. Just like we "pay" for "free YTs" by paying slightly higher prices for goods because the goods makers give part of the purchase price to the YTers as a payment or as a free product. So, yeah. Watchers and listeners get to have an opinion, you delicate YTers. Because they're the ones who allow you to get income/free product. Just like they get to have an opinion on TV shows because they're the ones who watch and allow the show makers to get paid by advertisers.

*forehead smack*
I forgot to even mention why I thumbs up/down videos at all - it's not because 'hah take that!', it's because it tunes the YouTube search algorithm's results, aka what shows up in my recommended feed. If I thumbs down a video, it generally nukes the content for that creator / topic. If I thumbs up something, I get more of it. Otherwise it tends to populate the results with whatever I've recently watched. If it didn't do that, I wouldn't even bother.

I give out thumbs downs freely, but I do the same for thumbs ups. If the video is ok, I usually do not even rate it. It has to be noticeably great or noticeably bad.
For example, I will give thumbs downs if a creator’s content is clearly lacking in comparison to their other content or if they did a noticeably bad job of getting their point across. Or if their title is clickbait and irrelevant. Or if it’s clear they haven’t prepared in the least. Lots of things can make a video pretty difficult to watch.
But if a creator goes above and beyond with editing, is incredibly useful, is one of the most helpful videos on the topic I’ve seen, etc., they will totally get a thumbs up.
I’m not a big Jennifer McGuire fan, but one thing I did like about her was that she isn’t into people spending all of their $$ on the newest products. She makes it clear she only has the craft room and supplies that she has because it’s her job. She doesn’t make people feel shitty about having less or being frugal. I appreciated her realism there.

I rarely leave a thumbs-down on a video if ever. But I also don't see what the fuss is about: both buttons exist on the platform you use, expect both of them to get some exercise. Stop feeling insecure, needy and personally attacked. You are putting content on a publicly accessed media. This is part of the game. If you're getting more positive than negative feedback, be it through comments or dis/likes, you're doing fine.
If you need validation from everyone, you probably should invest in some therapy. Not sure what mercytiara's thinking making such wide-sweeping claims that are actually debunked by social sciences. Then again, a psychiatrist is not a (social) psychologist but she should know better than to just throw such myths around. No, everyone who leaves negative feedback isn't miserable, misanthropic or jealous.
Imagine if we only got praise through our growing up, education and studies/apprenticeship? Most of us would be terrible at what we're doing/trying to do. The thumb down can hurt because it's not sandwiched in between positive feedback but only if you take it personally.

Well JM told me I MUST watch CZ's comments "amen sista" etc, so I clicked over and listened to some of the whining before I shut it down in disgust. CZ tells us no one wants to see your opinion... without seeing that that's her opinion. And yeah, she doesn't ever hesitate to share her opinion. But I guess that's different because she's right. And then she talks about having more positivity in the world - in the most whining exasperated NEGATIVE tone imaginable. I'm all riled up watching a few minutes of her complaining (which I knew I shouldn't do and I mostly fast forwarded through). I almost messaged her to suggest she take a look in the mirror. Yeah, she spread so much "positivity" I was considering sending her a nasty message. Well done. I don't disagree with her advice to click away if you aren't enjoying something, but for one thing, she's preaching to the choir. And as others have mentioned, I mostly use the thumbs up to save videos to my "liked video" playlist and to see more like it, and there are good reasons to tell YT no thanks, don't show me more of this, it's not my thing. It's not personal, most of the time. And who cares if it is? CZ had gotten whiny and annoying enough that I had muted her IGStories, which she doesn't see has happened, but now I think I might just unfollow her so she gets the message that no, bitching in stories isn't good for your business. And in a few days she'll be complaining about that and defending her right to have an opinion, but not anybody else's. Sigh.

She uses satire a lot for "comedy" but heaven forbid someone puts a thumbs down on a video. The next time she posts something negative about Costco or Target, she should be reminded that they don't like a thumbs down either. All these "celebs" have the same issue- they take business way to personally. They name their business after them (BH are you listening) and then they can't handle it when someone doesn't like something they are doing. I've like Cathy Zielske for a long time, bought lots of stuff from her, and have always liked her whining as humor, but she lost me now.

I just unfollowed both CZ accounts and JM. I'll continue to watch their videos when they look interesting. I already scroll right on by KW. I'm going to refrain from sending CZ any specific feedback. Better for me to pretend she doesn't exist right now. And although I started to write a vague bitchy thing in my own stories about negativity I decided just to post some pretty pictures instead.

That was a little too in my face.

CZ and TC: "here's my opinion, which I'm sharing, on why people shouldn't share their opinions"
That level of cognitive dissonance must be painful.

I just had another thought. I thumbs up and down on Netflix to help the algorithm find movies I’ll like. You don’t think the directors and actors are sitting at home fuming about it do you? Gosh I hope not. It’s not personal. And yes I’m fully aware that I CHOSE to watch the movie I’m thumbsdowning. And I could have just kept scrolling by but then how would I have ever known if it was a movie I like or not?

I used to like CZ. Loved her humor. Something changed. Not sure if I did or she did, but I can’t stomach her anymore.
If they din’t want opinions, why post open social media content? It is the nature of the beast. If you don’t like it, don’t post

This has been a really good conversation. Here’s my two cents. I’ve never given a thumbs up or down on YouTube. I think you need an account to do that and I don’t have one. I rarely leave comments, good or bad, on YT, IG or blogs. I honestly don’t think they care about my opinion or that they’d make changes based on my comments. Kristina Werner lost me years ago. She’s just rarely my style and she really thinks she’s the shit in the crafting world. I just find her completely unrelatable and fake. I do like Jennifer McGuire. Almost all of her videos make me feel I like I could do it too. However, I am getting tired of her anxiety issues. It also rubbed me the wrong way that she posted a poll on IG about wanting to know if we’d watch a Lila stitching video. She got 4 no votes and said she’s glad she didn’t know those people personally. If you don’t want the truth then don’t ask for it. CZ, well I admit her IG story made me chuckle. I like her cards and style so I’m sticking around.

Agree with a lot of this - rarely watch anything Kristina Werner because you know, she's an ARTIST and I'm not and have no aspirations to be, so why would I bother? I enjoy watching Jennifer McGuire, even though she has really long videos, because she does explain a lot of techniques. I don't even mind that she repeats what she's doing because it cements the technique in my brain, and also many times the repeat shows a slightly different spin on what she's been doing. What irritates me the most is all the fangirls commenting on the wonderfulness that she's just dispensed. She didn't just walk on water, she showed you how to fold and color cardstock. I especially agree with your comment "If you don't want the truth, then don't ask for it". I think it's sweet that her Lila likes making cards with her. But why would I want to sit and watch a video of that? I don't even watch the videos of Jennifer stitching - not something I'm ever going to do, and not really exciting. I do like CZs cards and I've subscribed to her on youtube - I don't follow anybody on Instagram, so I miss a lot of the drama. Not always a bad thing, and when it gets really interesting, I can count on my peeps here to keep me up to date
