but in the night
are you going to focus
on the darkness surrounding you
or appreciate the stars
that are right above you?
:)
be positive
and
stay positive
that's all folks
Have a beautiful day!
To @kenanqhd - I hope all is well on your neck of the woods. Was always a fan of your videos in China. Bless you in all your endeavours. You've been heard.
To all those people I mentioned before that I didn't mention because this video would get extended to 20min. To all the people, at some point, put a smile to my face, or encouraged me or I got to connect with on some level that made my life a little more meaningful. Here is that list (and I'm bound to miss some) So to you I say thank you. Thank you for the interaction. Thank you for adding value to my life. Whether it was brief or long-lived. Whether we saw eye to eye or agreed to disagree. Because I got to know a real human being from across the world and in that moment existed something important and some part of me I'll take everywhere I go.

And he’s back!
Your ability to make something constructive out of any situation was what drew me to you in the first place.
Surrounded by darkness you were the only star I needed 😘 Thank you for being the encouragement and support I required.
Without you there would have been no #OneLoveDTube

#onelovedtube really made it through the ups and downs lol
and all because it started with that as a keystone philosophy. Thank you also, old friend!
I can thank you for that!

I agree with @d00k13! You do have a gift for finding not necessarily, the positive, but at least some lesson, a gem of wisdom in dark situations. I, too have had to step back it was medical at first, but those unfortunate events led me to realize that I wasn't prioritizing my time in a way that aligned with my beliefs. I wasn't exactly practicing what I was preaching and I was doing it all on fumes and very little sleep. Like @gabbyg86 said, do your thing. Those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. Thanks for being a great inspiration and friend.
Aye it must be the season for self realization 🤙 just took the weekend away to realign myself with my life and fiancé, this time before it became a medical concern. Here is hoping some of the other creators can take a lesson from those of us that will openly admit we burn ourselves out from just trying to hard!
I hope your feeling better?

Dude, you do your thing. Haters gonna hate. A dog doesn't bark at a parked car. You don't have to explain anything to anyone.
You have given me life and inspiration a thousand times over my man. Thank you, champ!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This is masturbation worthy with the music.
100% top response. Look up, I'm your star 🌟

You lifted me up!
True words thank you for filling the gap you left in the last months.
And thank you to turn this into a really true and productive topic my friend! Glad you made this response and you take care about his video and the future of the blockchain as well. Here are a lot of people caring and you nailed it man.
P.s. I think the music is a bit too loud at the end ^^ it gets rly dramatic and so the music but it was a bit hard to focus on your words
Peace!
#engagetogrow
Why are your comments so perfectly structured? Can you teach me that? Lol
Yeah thank you too. I'll chill out the dramatic music at the end hahahaha
Nice response. Anyone that knew what you do should have probably known you were busy with work. A check in every now and then could have helped :)
That's probably a good idea! hahaha
I tend to check out every once in a while when I get absorbed over things.
Vince! You moved my heart, my soul, my eyes (yes, at one point my eyes were pointing at opposite directions) I agree with everything you said ma man!
I think again, the best thing about steemit and dtube is the community..the social aspect of it. At the beginning we saw a lot of engagements on each post and videos, but as u know..life gets in the way and it's totally understandable, but if they watch and leave no comment then the people on here who are making videos will also get discourage in some way as well.
As always brother! Miss ur baby feet!
Winny out... for now 😉
#engagetogrow
I love moving your eyes physically. I don't know why, but your face just entered my mind during this video. Enough with the mynd control technology!
#engagetogrow is a great idea. That's what we've always needed here. More engagement. I guess things haven't changed in a few months lol
Hell to the freaking yeah ma man!! Thank god u r back! I missed...I mean (clearing my throat) we missed you!! <3
Winny out... for now 😉
It's good that you replied to my comment on your post. I was about to roast you. Just kidding, I am not a coward ;)
Posted using Partiko Android
Hahaha - yeah. I'll be the first to admit that I haven't been the best at engagement. So much happening right now.
Won't ever judge you for that. Take care and keep having fun! @dnews

Nice response and a good refocus on what's important. Nice to see you posting again. Welcome back.
Thanks Brad. Good to see you too! Yeah good reminder for myself too :) 🙏🏽
I don't give a fuck about this DTUBE video...lol... just kidding I enjoyed it.
I also made a response to this video...
Haha - thanks for sharing man
As I agree with some point of DTube quality content which is mostly not good quality. I still have problem with finding content at DT for my self. Mostly there is only opinions and thought about something x 20 times. Even some people copy you and others about "Stayin' positive"
But I really agree with YOU that, you have family to feed and your private life is most important. Dtube is third behind Family and your work, or even forth or more.
Yeah. That’s true. Content is really made for steemians here. It’s been like that for a looong time. It’ll take a variety of things to change that and honestly at this point, not sure if it ever will.
Already left a comment but I'm one of those people who comment while I watch and wind up leaving 10 lol. I think in regards to quality of content, I don't think it's necessarily about someone having the most amazing production quality, and obviously quality is very subjective, but I think we can all tell something that took some effort and something that took no effort. Now even that's a tricky subject as there's some really good funny memes that probably took someone 10 seconds to come up with but are funny and give me a laugh and there's probably some content someone spent an hour on that I think sucks, but I think generally speaking we used to see a lot of Steemit posts that were more longform, mixed media so video, photos and text, and basically just stuff you can tell someone put some thought into. With crytpo prices being down and the moral kind of being down on here I'm seeing a lot more people doing stuff like posting a screenshot of coinmarketcap or taking a cellphone pic of their mailbox that has poor lighting, they didn't even try to level or frame the subject, basically just really halfass stuff. In some ways I can't blame people because why spend 3 hours on a post when you can spend 5 seconds and earn the same amount. I do think in the longrun the cream will rise to the top. I think the message could have gotten out without personal attacks and negativity but I do think kenan had some very valid points
I hear ya. While quality may be subjective, quality is also objective. YouTube quality is waves ahead of dtube quality. Can’t even compare. That’s just the truth and no one can deny that.
For a while a lot of us DTUBERS have been saying that. “The cream will rise to the top” and after about 3 months off, I can see that...well...it hasn’t. Hahaha - it’s just not as organic as YouTube because of the delegation system and curation that’s in place. Equal distribution = cream of the crop will pretty much stay exactly where the mediocre is. Which is why I also can empathize with Kenan. It’s somethjng I’ve brought up half a year ago. Something I built an entire campaign on. But to each his own. And at the end of the day, it is what it is.
Now I’ve made my comment just about as long as yours I think, my friend. Hahaha
Cheers. Thanks for the good thoughts.
Thank you sir. I watched his video after watching this. Well said! Wether we want to admit it or not, those of us who do this is a hobby, we will not take advantage of the path with least resistance. I 100% agree with your breakdown of his "tantrum." I always side on positive reinforcement as opposed to tough love (@kenanqhd).
Perfect response Vince. Respond with love. You're a true gent and an inspiration.
One dude's video speaking hate won't stop the HERD of people who are trying to solve the biggest problems this blockchain faces.
We're stronger together.
Great video.
I've had multiple accounts on YouTube as well.
You're a good dude. Keep doing your thing. I like your content and theres definitely quality in your work. Definitely better than mine for sure.
I wouldn't worry about that guy. He lives in a world of reverse reasoning.
This is masturbation worthy with the music.

I think you have missed me...
Well said @dnews :)
Great response video my friend.
To be completely honest, I watched kenanqhd's video today and I liked it simply because he was speaking his own mind.
What I didn't liked about it, Is him roasting people for no reason.
There is a lot of things that I dislike about this platform, but at the same time there is a lot of things that I dislike about other platforms(YouTube for example).
I just wish that sometimes people would've been more real here, Without thinking too much about the Dtube upvote or whatever upvote.
Money is important of course, everyones gotta eat. But once money starts to owe you and you put yourself in this position where you create content just for a stupid upvote, it's not what this platform is about, Or at least it's not what it should be in my opinion..

Thanks for the clarifying video it was great to hear about what happened and where you went and what you focused on that was important.
Tbh when I first started steemit I also tried writing comments on your videos and even tagged you a few times but you didn’t respond to any of them and I thought you weren’t very friendly. You were probably really busy and had a lot of people to respond to and didn’t see mine. So thanks for clearing everything up and not just making a parody or angry video in response :)

Your bang on the money with priorities! I love making videos, but family comes first every time. Choosing your family was the right choice 😀😀

Thanks for mention. Appreciate :)
I thought we Canadians are polite. Too many Canadians involved in negativity for one week. You gave an extremely clear and positive response, this feels like closure 😆
