This is a great fourth wall break guys, your writers have outdone themselves. Getting you to talk about social media being fake when you guys aren't even real lesbians? ;) (this is a joke about Rose's videos for those of you that will get mad at this)
I love Rosie's heart of gold process when meeting the hypothetical Rose who edited her Instagram and clearly looked different in person. This world would be better if more of us had that compassionate and understanding approach by default.
I only click on your videos, all channels, because you girls have always been genuine. The other you tubers...try too hard...so I'm not gonna give them my time. Stay true to you.
Aww thanks so much babes! I'm really enjoying the #realtalk series, let me know if you ever have anything you want us to talk about/talk about with you! xxxx
I think pranks where people say they cheated on their partner are horrific. Why would you want to put your partner through that, especially just for a joke?
Yeah, and there are worse things people put their partners through... I saw a prank where people pretend to have been killed or have pretended to hurt their pets!!! Just horrible. That's why I LOVE Joe and Caspar's silly little pranks, like putting post it notes or water all over the rooms. That's more annoying than shocking or devastating!
Nice to see that you use your platform to discuss different topics like this, not a lot of people do and I think we all need a reminder and a real talk from time to time. Really glad that I found your channel like two months ago, (I binge watched all your videos.HILARIOUS - always great content) I watch a lot of different youtubers and somehow felt like there was something about the two of you that was different from all the others, you felt more real. So I genially believe that you guys don't lie to your audience and there is never a clickbait or anything. I would not worry about competing with that shit, stay you and stay real. People love your channel!
Thank you so much for this! The comments on this video have been so inspiring! I think we'll only ever change up our content for us (and obviously we always consider you guys!) and we try really hard to focus only on what we are doing and to not compete with anybody :)
Hi guys, recently I came out to my parents as bisexual and they kicked me out of my house, right now I'm living with my best friend's family and I just wanted to thank you because when I see you being happy and successful with your life I am able to think that maybe that will also happen to me. Thank you! Hugs from Mexico!
elreycast0r You have every reason to hope and believe in better. You're gonna find your loving family. Maybe yours comes around or maybe you'll build your own. But keep remembering you deserve love and acceptance and you'll find it.
The thing with fakery is that people get tired of it. I watch some youtubers that clickbait all the time boyyyy do they clickbait. But I know that people are constantly being stung along. I was intrigued for about a month because the titles and thumbnails were so crazy but as I said, I just got fed up of it. That's why I'm so glad that I found you guys, you guys are so genuine and people don't get tired of those who are authentic. Your video titles aren't misleading or your thumbnails don't have images in it that don't have anything do with the video itself. So thanks for that love youuuuu :)
I totally agree. I also imagine that the TH-camrs themselves would get tired of making the content too, if it's fake and they aren't passionate about it. I also believe that when you are passionate about something it truly shines through!
I think at this point, most people assume everything online is fake until proven otherwise. You guys are a rare exception. All of us boobies know how real you are and how much being genuine means to you, and thats just one of the many reasons you are so great.
I totally agree, ladies! I have also heard it put like this, "social media is the highlight reel." No one wants to share the bad shit online, just whats going good. Thank you for always being genuine, it's why we love you both so much!
I used to watch a lot of TH-camrs, pretty much all the time. The Rose Ellen Dix channel is the only one I've been keeping up with consistently for like five years. I only watch your channel's and a couple others because I really appreciate authenticity. Thanks for being true.
It's really refreshing to hear people working in social media critique it and have the same concerns as the consumers/audience. Your analysis of stuff like this is always interesting to hear.
I just wanna see pranks where no one is mentally or physically hurt. But scaring Rosie is always fun to watch :D but don't make her cry, Rose, I dare you. ^^
I've always come back to this channel because of the authenticity. Even if things were ever omitted or not talked about, it's never seemed to be out of a deceitful nature. Personally, I think it'd also be really funny to make a mocumentary style prank video that was obviously fake. But over-the-top, cheesy acting kind of fake, as a way to poke fun at dishonest prank videos. Or prank video gone wrong where the tables turn on Rose and Rosie!
At the risk of being overly academic, one of the great issues of the 21st century concerns the impact of social media upon our public discourse. It's good that you're posting about it given the breadth of your audience. Nicely done, ladies.
can you do a bisexy video about losing "credibility" with girls if you date a guy? or like being considered straight if you date a guy when you are bi? thank you 💕💕
i believe that some are fake, but i do believe that you two are genuine.. iloveyou rosie.. you're really getting more and more beautiful and gorgeous..
I have friends that always have a ton of makeup on and always filter or Photoshop their pictures and the only thing I tell them is " Don't do that cause if you were kidnapped tomorrow no one would be able to find you cause no one knows how you look like"
I watched that episode too a few days ago and I feel like that is true to how it is now. And maybe in the future it'll be worse because I know people who think they're social is 'dry' so they just go out to eat and dress nice just for a photo with them eating a plate of food. Social media is getting a bit more competitive society wise and it kinda scares me a bit haha
Wow that's horrible! I've actually noticed that recently I've had loads of fun times but I don't put it on social media... I'm not trying to hide things I just forget to take a photo in the moment! It's sad that people see it as a competition. It's good if you see someones social media and you use it as motivation for your goals. But it's sad when people start to change themselves to fit in.... xxx
TheRoxetera yeah there we go! It's always nice to get motivation on social media and seeing ones transformation because it pushes yourself to do better. But there will always be that side where people are bummed because they want to be like everyone they see which I find sad. No one should want to be like any other person because there's only one of them and they should realize that the are the unique ones & they are beautiful. Social media can have pros and cons but it's scary at the same time.
and this is why I genuinely love you! you are just normal, smart people who don't need to play any games in front of your audience, and you are not afraid of saying what bothers you or what's going on in your heads! being yourself is always the best way to live your live so thank you for teaching me this, I'm still trying to become more confident about who I trully am 😊 💕
great video! would love for you to talk more about media, especially with the whole pewdiepie shit that's happened lately and your opinions on that. Personally I think the media just take everything out of context and don't understand channels have certain audiences who actually understand that things are a joke, they basically tried to ruin a career and I don't think that's appropriate for them to do!
I started watching you guys because you've always been super authentic and honest, that make us feel like we've know you for a long time even though we could be miles apart. Please continue being who you are and don't let social media change you guys.
I think this is really good to talk about, I think its on people's mind but hasn't been talked about physically, if you get what I mean. Love to you both, my all time faves ❤
Makes me think on Essena O'Neill. She went back to her Instagram and edited her captions later from her "casual/fun/effortless" vibe to the truth- that she was undereating, stressing about getting the perfect shot, and feeling miserable in the pursuit of more and more followers and fame. I think that for some, social media is genuinely a way of expressing yourself and sharing special moments with loved ones. However, I do think that there are a growing number of people who do edit/photoshop/heavily filter not just their selfies but their entire lives as presented on SM, and this can do serious damage to self-esteem (for the sharer basing their worth on likes, and those viewing who feel their lives/looks aren't as glamorous in comparison.) I never really understood why people follow and are followed by strangers; my friends and I get around the issues of fakery etc. by only sharing our accounts with people we know. Controversial maybe, but I can't really understand why anyone would need strangers to follow their selfie account except for a desire for approval from others and perhaps some degree of narcissism. This obviously isn't quite the case with celebrities- but I think there should be a degree of responsibility on them to spread a positive message. Sure, take the selfie at a flattering angle in good lighting, but don't completely change your body shape with an app and then claim that it's real. Young girls need to know that beauty comes in many forms and "flaws" are normal. Maybe if this was the norm we'd see less body dysmorphia in our younger generation.
LOVE this comment, totally agree with all your points. It is so strange following strangers isn't it? But then on the positive side, it's amazing how the internet can connect strangers like that. Especially if you have no friends, but can search tags about things you like (I don't know, say fitness) and then follow strangers who may become your real friends. It's weird to follow strangers but also amazing if you build genuine friendships that way. But then, another problem with the fakery is, are you really talking to who you think you're talking to? xxx
There is something lovely about the way that the Internet can bring people together! And I totally agree that it makes it much easier to go out there and find your people. But as you say- some of those people aren't always who they say they are so you have to be careful and verify things when you can- Skype is an amazing thing! Thanks for responding Rosie, made my day :)
I don't ever use filters or any kind of photo enhancer EVER. I don't feel the need to hide behind a filter. People are gonna see me anyway...might as well just be me. It does make me sad that some people feel like they need to look a certain way or act a certain way to attract everyone. This is how I see it, whatever your personality type is, and no matter what you look like, some will love you, and some wont. NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF PERSON YOU ARE. In fact, people will like you more if you just let who YOU are, loose. Just let you run free. It's such a waste of energy to be someone your not.
Let me start off by saying; I don't usually comment on videos online. I will typically give it a thumbs up, and move on to the next one, but this one struck a cord with me. Thank you for posting this, and thank you both for being one of the most positive representations out there for our community! What your relationship gives me is hope, and to see such genuine optimism, love, support; for not just each other, but for people in general is such a beautiful thing! So thank you, from the bottom of my heart!
One of the most atractive thing about you girls is how honest and authentic you guys are. Its what makes us, or me, follow you on your social media because we can all relate to you!..you guys are just like us , no need to compete with fake youtubers because at the end honesty and the truth is what matters and that is why we follow you..and obviously because of how funny and loving and genuinel you guys are on internet. I love you both for how you guys are! Great role models! Lots of love!
In my opinion, that chapter is about social acceptance, and how many people become really fake just to have that acceptance and popularity. In the series people collect scores, when in these times it is all about the likes and when you don't care about these media or you don't have a profile in any social network, you are labeled as maladjusted or even antisocial, (which is curious because these Social interactions are by means of a device or computer but not face to face)
I love the videos ye make. Ye make me laugh just by being yourselves. I'd love to see ye doing REAL pranks. There's nothing worse than seeing people react to pranks they 'didn't' expect!
You are only youtubers that I realy care for because you allow us a look in your life and I have never felt you do it just because the views. You had changed before our eyes but remained the great persons we had stayed for long time ago !
totally agree with Rose on this that there shouldn't be lying on things you are doing to get attention, however a bit the same I'm okay with people using editing to make themselves look better on things however just as long as they're not unrecognisable or are pushing that people have to look a certain way. Plus I'm glad you had the TH-cam chat near the end as that's something I've been thinking about recently. Lovely video!
You can't really trust that Social Media is representative of who the person really is because good parts and bad, you choose what parts of yourself you want to share. You might say "Oh that person is keeping it real by putting an unflattering photo or a fail video of his/herself" but that's still being curated. It might be a reflection of the individual, but it's like a reflection with a filter on it. "This is me!" vs "This is the me I want you to see!" But on the other hand, I don't think we as consumers of media have any right to demand full access to a person, so we're left with what they give us. And honestly, as long as we can acknowledge that that's the case, we shouldn't have a problem enjoying what they share.
Another great video! I think that while it is normal to feel pressure to compete with other TH-camrs, remember how you guys started getting known - it was about your personalities, humor, openness, conversations etc which brought and still brings people to your channels. I still remember the first videos of you two together that I saw years ago and felt I could definitely relate to the content, would smile, laugh, cry, tear up from laughter (!) etc and would look so forward to the upcoming videos. I think being genuine and innovative is what brings people back to your channels so please, keep it up :)
you guys are so genuine and compassionate and i love how good your videos make me feel about just being honest and myself and i love you guys, please never change
Hey Rose & Rosie, love you guys (I'm a new subscriber and I've watched almost all your videos in 2 weeks...😶I promise I'm not weird yous are just amazing and addictive to watch) xxx
That's absolutely one of the top reasons why you are my favourite youtubers: just real and pure with the occasional moments of TMI (which, let's be honest, we all love). Never change ♥️
I think people are a version of themselves on social media. We all have different roles and act differently depending on the role that is needed. You would act differently if you were a student in a classroom vs. out with your friends vs. at work. The same goes for social media. You create a role for yourself on social media - how you want to be seen by others - and act accordingly. I try to present the most interesting/funny/happy version of myself. It is technically true, just not true all the time. Just like you're not always studious when outside of the classroom/student role.
I love you two so much. Being a closeted gay woman I really don't have many role models. I don't know any older lesbian couples other than those in the media and you sharing some of your life on TH-cam means so much to me and helps so many people. Thank you guys so much for being the best role models out there!
People try to present their best selfs in real life, try to dress nicely, maybe hide their most annoying bits on a first impression to be liked and to connect. I don't think that's fake. In that sense I think social media is a fairly accurate representation. Just like in real life people take it to extremes out of competition or insecurities but I don't think people need to be "called out" for that. People are fallible. The real problem is people harassing or cruelly calling others out. It's not wrong to address a lie. If done kindly and with patience it can help someone see how they're hurting themselves and those they're influencing. To help someone effectively on social media to change destructive behavior is nearly impossible though and there will always be trolls. I think I'm rambling. Great chat ladies!
I really needed this right now. You guys addressing the fakery in the world further opened my eyes. I think another massive issue is the double standards in the media ie. those who say 'nobody's perfect' but then idealise the so called 'perfect' body, 'perfect' face (etc.). It's so refreshing to see you guys always being real and genuine and so brilliantly you! It's one of the reasons I love you so much!! Thankyou for this, it really helped :))
From now on, I will leave a comment on all of your new uploaded videos. Just for supporting you two for all these genuine talks and funny jokes you made. Also, you girls made my days great for so many times in all these years. Just keep going, my dear. Don't get discouraged form fake shit. You are the best.
Rosie, the truth is...humans are the meanest race on earth, so yes, unfortunately, this guy was about to kidnap this kid in that experiment video. because tha's what happens in real life. :/
I think the thing I love most about you girls is when you go out of your way to make fun of the way people expect us as a society to be. It's so awesome. You ladies are like the voice for the voiceless.
This is amazing 😍how you have always been so honest on your channel. I reckon people do not mind YOUR "Clickbait" video, bc those video actually consist of things you put in the title or the thumbnail (like your secret breakup). You're probably the most genuine and open people on the Internet) I'm glad I found you, Rose and Rosie, thank you very much❤️
I love the more serious talks that you two do on here. They are so interesting to listen to, and they always have some fun in them as well. I like getting to hear your opinions and thoughts on so many different topics. I love both of your channels, and I hope that you two keep on doing what you're doing and keep on being happy :)
I'm three months too late to this video but it is genuinely refreshing when I watch all of your channels because I know that I'm going to enjoy the video no matter what the content is because you are original TH-camrs and do focus on us, the fans, and you both stay true to your word. I couldn't agree more with what you said about clickbait and how you don't want to do that because it's faking what the content really is and sometimes it's extremely disappointing when you see an interesting headline on somebody's channel only to feel annoyed that it's nothing to do with what they claimed which is another reason why I love all channels because you are both very open and honest. Thank you so much for filming this video and sharing it with us because it does give us more insight to what you think of social media platforms in this day and age and it allows us to reflect on what you have said and it also allows us all to love you even more knowing that you're comfortable sharing your fully formed opinion on it. Certainly looking forward to the pranks videos in the future💓💓
Good evening guys! I personally love when people like celebrities or youtubers talk about this because you guys have an impact on fans/viewers and, it can really help people to feel better about themselves and accept what they look like. On one hand, I understand that people have their insecurities and want to make themselves look better in pics by “lying”. On the other hand, I think we are being influenced by society 24/7as well because you want to be socially accepted. There is a Spanish youtuber called Andrea Compton who was talking on a radio show about a group of young women criticising others because of what they look like either being real or fake on social media.
I love those kind of videos, you two make me want to sit and talk about life for hours ahaha! And tbh i think being fake is the new normal on social media and that's really sad because then you can't really tell when people are honest or not! But thankfully people like you exist and that's the good part of the internet!
I totally agree with how annoying click bait is and I've never seen you click bait or lie. Especially with the brand deals you make it clear at the beginning of the video whereas other youtubers hide it in the middle
The end made me sooo happy for you two :) I love how genuinely kind and thoughtful the both of you are. If the world was full of Rose & Rosie's it would be a much happier place x
The acting in this is just top notch. Well done girls - Phil.
Shit, wrong account.
Rose Ellen Dix I LOVE YOU FFS
Rose Ellen Dix omg hahahah
Nice one hahahah
Rose Ellen Dix ffs Phil! 😂😂😂😂
Rose: "That's FUCKED up"
Rosie: "One thing that really fucking annoys me i--"
Rose: "WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE"
"I think a healthy amount of cynicism is healthy." That was said twice and nobody commented on it I'm dying.
Candy Books lol was just about to comment that
This is a great fourth wall break guys, your writers have outdone themselves. Getting you to talk about social media being fake when you guys aren't even real lesbians? ;) (this is a joke about Rose's videos for those of you that will get mad at this)
Georgia King I'm screaming
I love Rosie's heart of gold process when meeting the hypothetical Rose who edited her Instagram and clearly looked different in person. This world would be better if more of us had that compassionate and understanding approach by default.
Aww Phil I always love reading your comments so much, they brighten my day 💖
TheRoxetera Phil the husband I suppose ;)
I only click on your videos, all channels, because you girls have always been genuine. The other you tubers...try too hard...so I'm not gonna give them my time. Stay true to you.
Thanks Kristy, this means a lot to us! xxx
TheRoxetera thank you both for remaining true to who you are and for doing ehst you do for all the right reasons, you're both adored by so many!
Kristy Joy Well, you know.. You could have just complimented them without dissing on other people, but ok 😅
Valentina this was a comment to them not you, just an fyi
Kristy Joy Oh really? My bad.
I absolutely LOVED this conversation!
Aww thanks so much babes! I'm really enjoying the #realtalk series, let me know if you ever have anything you want us to talk about/talk about with you! xxxx
Rose casually picking her nose at 2:08
I noticed that too and the face she makes after is priceless
and also put her finger on her mouth
LMAO
Georgia King lol she didn't put in her mouth at least
loved that
"maybe she's born with it, maybe it's an Instagram filter" maybe it's Maybeline
anyone else?
*slowly walks away laughing*
Roses listening face is 😍
OMG I thought I was the only one
Vlogs With Sarah hola
I think pranks where people say they cheated on their partner are horrific. Why would you want to put your partner through that, especially just for a joke?

That's why I LOVE Joe and Caspar's silly little pranks, like putting post it notes or water all over the rooms. That's more annoying than shocking or devastating!
Oh man that's awful :/ I definitely think people take them too far. Silly pranks are the best!! I'm glad Joe and Caspar are doing it right!
Rosie ur so sensitive gosh i bet Rose would do an awesome prank for us!
Nice to see that you use your platform to discuss different topics like this, not a lot of people do and I think we all need a reminder and a real talk from time to time. Really glad that I found your channel like two months ago, (I binge watched all your videos.HILARIOUS - always great content)

Hi guys, recently I came out to my parents as bisexual and they kicked me out of my house, right now I'm living with my best friend's family and I just wanted to thank you because when I see you being happy and successful with your life I am able to think that maybe that will also happen to me. Thank you! Hugs from Mexico!
I'm sorry
elreycast0r You have every reason to hope and believe in better. You're gonna find your loving family. Maybe yours comes around or maybe you'll build your own. But keep remembering you deserve love and acceptance and you'll find it.
Even bisexual get kicks out,if I were to tell them I'm a lesbian lol I might not be allow to hang out in my neighbourhood
Stay strong!!
Lately in their videos Rose is just sitting there, commenting on everything Rosie says, saying what we're all thinking and I'M LOVING IT
The thing with fakery is that people get tired of it. I watch some youtubers that clickbait all the time boyyyy do they clickbait. But I know that people are constantly being stung along.

I totally agree. I also imagine that the TH-camrs themselves would get tired of making the content too, if it's fake and they aren't passionate about it. I also believe that when you are passionate about something it truly shines through!
Yes, you feel like a better person in the long run if you're just yourself.
Ok but... San Junipero...
Mandas Journal YES!!!!
Yassssss
This video feels like a hug.
We need more videos like this. It's so interesting to hear you talk about these topics.
Then I shall make more! xxx
TheRoxetera thanks! I love you guys ♡
I think at this point, most people assume everything online is fake until proven otherwise. You guys are a rare exception. All of us boobies know how real you are and how much being genuine means to you, and thats just one of the many reasons you are so great.

Top quality I'd always watch this over click bait tons of respect for these two 👏🏻
I used to watch a lot of TH-camrs, pretty much all the time. The Rose Ellen Dix channel is the only one I've been keeping up with consistently for like five years. I only watch your channel's and a couple others because I really appreciate authenticity. Thanks for being true.

I think the pranks are such a good idea can't wait xxxx
Send me any ideas you have! I can't wait to do this! xxx
..ummm you could pretend you've lost and cant find wilma or flinn?
I just wanna see pranks where no one is mentally or physically hurt. But scaring Rosie is always fun to watch :D but don't make her cry, Rose, I dare you. ^^
"The more I learn about things and people. The more I learn that it isn't real." Quote of the day from Rose😍😀🤔😮
Rose: That's fucked up
30 seconds later Rosie says fucking
"Watch your language"😂😂😂
The main reason you two connect with us is because you're so genuine and real
I've always come back to this channel because of the authenticity. Even if things were ever omitted or not talked about, it's never seemed to be out of a deceitful nature.
Personally, I think it'd also be really funny to make a mocumentary style prank video that was obviously fake. But over-the-top, cheesy acting kind of fake, as a way to poke fun at dishonest prank videos. Or prank video gone wrong where the tables turn on Rose and Rosie!

can you do a bisexy video about losing "credibility" with girls if you date a guy? or like being considered straight if you date a guy when you are bi? thank you 💕💕
OOOO GREAT idea that might be my next bisexy video!! xxx
Margot McLaughlin yes please!!!!!
Rose - "you guys are kind of our friends and our family" I feel the same way Rose 💖😊
i believe that some are fake, but i do believe that you two are genuine.. iloveyou rosie.. you're really getting more and more beautiful and gorgeous..
Thank you so much Vangie! xxx
OMG! at last you red it rosie! i got teary eyed and blushing at this moment whew! am really a big fan of you and rose,,,
I have friends that always have a ton of makeup on and always filter or Photoshop their pictures and the only thing I tell them is " Don't do that cause if you were kidnapped tomorrow no one would be able to find you cause no one knows how you look like"
I watched that episode too a few days ago and I feel like that is true to how it is now. And maybe in the future it'll be worse because I know people who think they're social is 'dry' so they just go out to eat and dress nice just for a photo with them eating a plate of food.

But it's sad when people start to change themselves to fit in.... xxx
TheRoxetera yeah there we go! It's always nice to get motivation on social media and seeing ones transformation because it pushes yourself to do better. But there will always be that side where people are bummed because they want to be like everyone they see which I find sad. No one should want to be like any other person because there's only one of them and they should realize that the are the unique ones & they are beautiful. Social media can have pros and cons but it's scary at the same time.
I thought you were going to break out into a Hannah Montana song when you went "Everyone has those days" 😆
Lore Yashira Indeed?!
and this is why I genuinely love you! you are just normal, smart people who don't need to play any games in front of your audience, and you are not afraid of saying what bothers you or what's going on in your heads! being yourself is always the best way to live your live so thank you for teaching me this, I'm still trying to become more confident about who I trully am 😊 💕
Stay the way you are...which are the two most genuine people I've watched/followed. Screw what the trolls think.
great video! would love for you to talk more about media, especially with the whole pewdiepie shit that's happened lately and your opinions on that. Personally I think the media just take everything out of context and don't understand channels have certain audiences who actually understand that things are a joke, they basically tried to ruin a career and I don't think that's appropriate for them to do!
Oooooh really good idea for a #realtalk ! Thanks so much we'll do a vid on that! xxx
TheRoxetera ayee I got a reply😊❤️ can't wait for the video!:)
Looker Just got this comment to 😉
I started watching you guys because you've always been super authentic and honest, that make us feel like we've know you for a long time even though we could be miles apart. Please continue being who you are and don't let social media change you guys.
I think this is really good to talk about, I think its on people's mind but hasn't been talked about physically, if you get what I mean.
Love to you both, my all time faves ❤
Makes me think on Essena O'Neill. She went back to her Instagram and edited her captions later from her "casual/fun/effortless" vibe to the truth- that she was undereating, stressing about getting the perfect shot, and feeling miserable in the pursuit of more and more followers and fame.
I think that for some, social media is genuinely a way of expressing yourself and sharing special moments with loved ones. However, I do think that there are a growing number of people who do edit/photoshop/heavily filter not just their selfies but their entire lives as presented on SM, and this can do serious damage to self-esteem (for the sharer basing their worth on likes, and those viewing who feel their lives/looks aren't as glamorous in comparison.)
I never really understood why people follow and are followed by strangers; my friends and I get around the issues of fakery etc. by only sharing our accounts with people we know.
Controversial maybe, but I can't really understand why anyone would need strangers to follow their selfie account except for a desire for approval from others and perhaps some degree of narcissism. This obviously isn't quite the case with celebrities- but I think there should be a degree of responsibility on them to spread a positive message. Sure, take the selfie at a flattering angle in good lighting, but don't completely change your body shape with an app and then claim that it's real. Young girls need to know that beauty comes in many forms and "flaws" are normal. Maybe if this was the norm we'd see less body dysmorphia in our younger generation.
LOVE this comment, totally agree with all your points. It is so strange following strangers isn't it? But then on the positive side, it's amazing how the internet can connect strangers like that. Especially if you have no friends, but can search tags about things you like (I don't know, say fitness) and then follow strangers who may become your real friends. It's weird to follow strangers but also amazing if you build genuine friendships that way. But then, another problem with the fakery is, are you really talking to who you think you're talking to? xxx
There is something lovely about the way that the Internet can bring people together! And I totally agree that it makes it much easier to go out there and find your people. But as you say- some of those people aren't always who they say they are so you have to be careful and verify things when you can- Skype is an amazing thing! Thanks for responding Rosie, made my day :)

I don't ever use filters or any kind of photo enhancer EVER. I don't feel the need to hide behind a filter. People are gonna see me anyway...might as well just be me. It does make me sad that some people feel like they need to look a certain way or act a certain way to attract everyone. This is how I see it, whatever your personality type is, and no matter what you look like, some will love you, and some wont. NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF PERSON YOU ARE. In fact, people will like you more if you just let who YOU are, loose. Just let you run free. It's such a waste of energy to be someone your not.
I love this so much. I've been watching both of your videos for so many years and you've always been so genuine.
Let me start off by saying; I don't usually comment on videos online. I will typically give it a thumbs up, and move on to the next one, but this one struck a cord with me. Thank you for posting this, and thank you both for being one of the most positive representations out there for our community! What your relationship gives me is hope, and to see such genuine optimism, love, support; for not just each other, but for people in general is such a beautiful thing! So thank you, from the bottom of my heart!
i use this channel to learn english,it's helped me a lot.ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Z Ys saaaame
2cool 4school i found that your name is just same as a cosmetic brand in korea
Z Ys where do you live?
Júlia MDP i live in korea.
Z Ys me too lol xD
One of the most atractive thing about you girls is how honest and authentic you guys are. Its what makes us, or me, follow you on your social media because we can all relate to you!..you guys are just like us , no need to compete with fake youtubers because at the end honesty and the truth is what matters and that is why we follow you..and obviously because of how funny and loving and genuinel you guys are on internet. I love you both for how you guys are! Great role models! Lots of love!
11:36 'maybe she's born with it, maybe it's an Instagram filter'. best quote ever
In my opinion, that chapter is about social acceptance, and how many people become really fake just to have that acceptance and popularity. In the series people collect scores, when in these times it is all about the likes and when you don't care about these media or you don't have a profile in any social network, you are labeled as maladjusted or even antisocial, (which is curious because these Social interactions are by means of a device or computer but not face to face)
I wish that I could just ring them up in real life when I needed to talk. They seem like they would give great advice. Love you both!
Rose and Rosie, I watch you and admire you because you are real and down to earth, you are like a best friend who doesn't make up to call you up.
I love the videos ye make. Ye make me laugh just by being yourselves. I'd love to see ye doing REAL pranks. There's nothing worse than seeing people react to pranks they 'didn't' expect!
I have soooo many prank ideas up my sleeve! Watch this space! xxx
You are only youtubers that I realy care for because you allow us a look in your life and I have never felt you do it just because the views. You had changed before our eyes but remained the great persons we had stayed for long time ago !
Am I the only one who doesn't understand why "I cheated on my gf/bf" pranks are funny? Like this person is genuinely hurt. Hahaha que funny.
totally agree with Rose on this that there shouldn't be lying on things you are doing to get attention, however a bit the same I'm okay with people using editing to make themselves look better on things however just as long as they're not unrecognisable or are pushing that people have to look a certain way. Plus I'm glad you had the TH-cam chat near the end as that's something I've been thinking about recently. Lovely video!
You can't really trust that Social Media is representative of who the person really is because good parts and bad, you choose what parts of yourself you want to share. You might say "Oh that person is keeping it real by putting an unflattering photo or a fail video of his/herself" but that's still being curated. It might be a reflection of the individual, but it's like a reflection with a filter on it. "This is me!" vs "This is the me I want you to see!" But on the other hand, I don't think we as consumers of media have any right to demand full access to a person, so we're left with what they give us. And honestly, as long as we can acknowledge that that's the case, we shouldn't have a problem enjoying what they share.
Really good valid point. It's so true there's only so much of ourselves we can 'give' or should be prepared to show! I like your way of thinking! xx
I'm glad you guys committed to put quality stuff out there and not shitty click bait. Love you!
It's more real than mainstream media...
True! I think maybe we should have touched on that more! xxx
Another great video! I think that while it is normal to feel pressure to compete with other TH-camrs, remember how you guys started getting known - it was about your personalities, humor, openness, conversations etc which brought and still brings people to your channels. I still remember the first videos of you two together that I saw years ago and felt I could definitely relate to the content, would smile, laugh, cry, tear up from laughter (!) etc and would look so forward to the upcoming videos. I think being genuine and innovative is what brings people back to your channels so please, keep it up :)
Those 9 people who disliked... must be fake
you guys are so genuine and compassionate and i love how good your videos make me feel about just being honest and myself and i love you guys, please never change
This. This is why you're my role models.
Rose: "Its not as good as minee" rosie: " its better" haha i love you guys so freaking much💜💙💚❤️💛
Hey Rose & Rosie, love you guys (I'm a new subscriber and I've watched almost all your videos in 2 weeks...😶I promise I'm not weird yous are just amazing and addictive to watch) xxx
That's absolutely one of the top reasons why you are my favourite youtubers: just real and pure with the occasional moments of TMI (which, let's be honest, we all love). Never change ♥️
I think it's okay to make "fake" content as long as people know it's not real like we do with actors in a movie
Yes good point! As long as they are aware then it's ok if it's for entertainment! xxx
TheRoxetera Right? I mean at least with you we get updates from Phil so we know your relationship is totes fake lmao xxx
I think people are a version of themselves on social media. We all have different roles and act differently depending on the role that is needed. You would act differently if you were a student in a classroom vs. out with your friends vs. at work. The same goes for social media. You create a role for yourself on social media - how you want to be seen by others - and act accordingly. I try to present the most interesting/funny/happy version of myself. It is technically true, just not true all the time. Just like you're not always studious when outside of the classroom/student role.
It is better
I love you two so much. Being a closeted gay woman I really don't have many role models. I don't know any older lesbian couples other than those in the media and you sharing some of your life on TH-cam means so much to me and helps so many people.
Thank you guys so much for being the best role models out there!
#respect 😚 you just keep being your genuine selves
People try to present their best selfs in real life, try to dress nicely, maybe hide their most annoying bits on a first impression to be liked and to connect. I don't think that's fake. In that sense I think social media is a fairly accurate representation. Just like in real life people take it to extremes out of competition or insecurities but I don't think people need to be "called out" for that. People are fallible. The real problem is people harassing or cruelly calling others out. It's not wrong to address a lie. If done kindly and with patience it can help someone see how they're hurting themselves and those they're influencing. To help someone effectively on social media to change destructive behavior is nearly impossible though and there will always be trolls. I think I'm rambling. Great chat ladies!
NOTIFICATION SQUAAAAD!
im so amazed how rose explain her opinion on the topic..she is so open minded..
I'M EARLY AND NOW A PROUD BISEXUAL, HAPPY
I really needed this right now. You guys addressing the fakery in the world further opened my eyes. I think another massive issue is the double standards in the media ie. those who say 'nobody's perfect' but then idealise the so called 'perfect' body, 'perfect' face (etc.). It's so refreshing to see you guys always being real and genuine and so brilliantly you! It's one of the reasons I love you so much!! Thankyou for this, it really helped :))
NOTIF SQUAD
From now on, I will leave a comment on all of your new uploaded videos. Just for supporting you two for all these genuine talks and funny jokes you made. Also, you girls made my days great for so many times in all these years. Just keep going, my dear. Don't get discouraged form fake shit. You are the best.
I love you guys! You make my day when I watch your videos. Please can we be best friends! ❤️
Of course we can!!! Everyone loves a BFF
Yay!! I can't believe you replied to me xx
"Rose: Welcome to Rosie`s channel, it`s not as good as mine
Rosie: It`s better" hahahah i love you Rosie
Rosie, the truth is...humans are the meanest race on earth, so yes, unfortunately, this guy was about to kidnap this kid in that experiment video. because tha's what happens in real life. :/
They look at each other so cutely when they are talking about their opinions. Their listening faces are everything. 😍❤️
Hi. Please reply?. Thanks, good day.
Not sure if you wanted a reply from Rose and Rosie but i'm gonna reply anyway.
Good day to you !
I'm not Rose, but you have a good day too.
You guys have always stood out to me as being honest and as as real as can be on youtube. 👸🏼
.....................maybe it's maybeline
I think the thing I love most about you girls is when you go out of your way to make fun of the way people expect us as a society to be. It's so awesome. You ladies are like the voice for the voiceless.

Their baby/babies are going to be so lucky when coming to this world. Such a great inspirational people. Mucho amor hermosas personas!!💕
Is your name even really Ellen? Smh can't believe anything anymore.
Hey Rose and Rosie! This video is totally spot on. People don't post status' saying I'm having a horrible day or I look like shit and post it.
I think you guys are the only youtubers i watch that genuinely talk about how genuine you are and thats so cool.
This is amazing 😍how you have always been so honest on your channel. I reckon people do not mind YOUR "Clickbait" video, bc those video actually consist of things you put in the title or the thumbnail (like your secret breakup).
You're probably the most genuine and open people on the Internet)
I'm glad I found you, Rose and Rosie, thank you very much❤️
I love the more serious talks that you two do on here. They are so interesting to listen to, and they always have some fun in them as well. I like getting to hear your opinions and thoughts on so many different topics. I love both of your channels, and I hope that you two keep on doing what you're doing and keep on being happy :)
I'm three months too late to this video but it is genuinely refreshing when I watch all of your channels because I know that I'm going to enjoy the video no matter what the content is because you are original TH-camrs and do focus on us, the fans, and you both stay true to your word. I couldn't agree more with what you said about clickbait and how you don't want to do that because it's faking what the content really is and sometimes it's extremely disappointing when you see an interesting headline on somebody's channel only to feel annoyed that it's nothing to do with what they claimed which is another reason why I love all channels because you are both very open and honest. Thank you so much for filming this video and sharing it with us because it does give us more insight to what you think of social media platforms in this day and age and it allows us to reflect on what you have said and it also allows us all to love you even more knowing that you're comfortable sharing your fully formed opinion on it. Certainly looking forward to the pranks videos in the future💓💓
Good evening guys!
I personally love when people like celebrities or youtubers talk about this because you guys have an impact on fans/viewers and, it can really help people to feel better about themselves and accept what they look like.
On one hand, I understand that people have their insecurities and want to make themselves look better in pics by “lying”. On the other hand, I think we are being influenced by society 24/7as well because you want to be socially accepted.
There is a Spanish youtuber called Andrea Compton who was talking on a radio show about a group of young women criticising others because of what they look like either being real or fake on social media.
you NEED to add "it's not as good as mine (it's better)" onto spotify I watch the whole video and then replayed that song 1000000% ily both
I love those kind of videos, you two make me want to sit and talk about life for hours ahaha!
And tbh i think being fake is the new normal on social media and that's really sad because then you can't really tell when people are honest or not! But thankfully people like you exist and that's the good part of the internet!
Thank you , but you two are most genuine people I have come to respect on TH-cam, please never change.
Sincerely Michael.
I totally agree with how annoying click bait is and I've never seen you click bait or lie. Especially with the brand deals you make it clear at the beginning of the video whereas other youtubers hide it in the middle
The end made me sooo happy for you two :) I love how genuinely kind and thoughtful the both of you are. If the world was full of Rose & Rosie's it would be a much happier place x
