The amount of crap Cristine puts Ben through and he just sits back and smiles with her is great! The Mom and Dad segments are truly awesome, Ma & Pa logical are goals.
I think that Cristine thinks that when Simplymomlogical comes out to play, then her videos get boring, but I really like listening to Cristines views because she's really smart and it's nice to see her be serious. I love simplymomlogical.
Anna S YASSSSSSSSSSSSS maybe that's why I'm equally as into her being serious as her being crazy/funny, and it just makes me more into her altogether; because she's freaking smart!! And I fucking love that in a woman!!!!!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍❤💕❤💕❤💕🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank ya'll for pointing out the difference between "working hard" and "hard work." Both are valid, but they're not entirely comparable, especially in terms of physical and mental toll.
i love the fact that you guys are one of the few youtubers who haven't lost contact with reality. it's really refreshing to see you be real and still have fun on here. keep it up bois
Nice Smoothie there ;) And I agree, Cristine and Ben are both extremely humble and down to reality. Despite getting good income from TH-cam, Cristine haven't left her day job, which she loves. I aspire to be like Cristine now. Fun and goofy, but serious and mature and educated.
I love how you guys think so deeply about the stuff you just talked about in the end of the video. There's not many people who do that and have the courage to post it on TH-cam itself. I mean ofcourse i truly believe some youtubers work way harder than we think but it's people who don't even do anything else apart from making a catchy/clickbaity thumbnail to fool their viewers and you can't do anything about it, you know you're gonna fall for it again bc it's human psychology. Oh well my paragraph is a little too long ok bye 😂❤
some youtubers like animators work really hard and are only able to post one video a month they take the time to make quality animations that we as viewers will enjoy.
IRadin Xd Yes, but then you have other TH-camrs...like Emma Chamberlain. I like her videos, but she made one video that was about “Why i dropped out of school” which made me angry because she basically talked about how hard she works and hated school so much and couldn’t handle it. That video made me mad because that doesn’t compare at all to having a full time job and having to work hours at a time, then making vlogging videos (lol I was thinking it about sorry it’s so long 😐)
Tori Jones if you are a true HOLOSEXUAL you would know that you wrote Cristine’s name incorrectly, you wrote Cristine with H..... however it is without the H.... Cristine is the right way of writing her name😊👌🏻
+Catherine Thomas yes, that's why I said that they both had day jobs although I thought Beyyynn was an accountant and Cristine was a crime analyst/statistician?
I think you hit the nail on the head about some youtubers working "hard". Its TEDIOUS yes but hard? I don't really know about that. That creates a huge disconnect from the audience and the creator and its just really disheartening.
“TH-cam doesn’t need another boyfriend of a famous female TH-camr making a channel” 😂😂😂 SAVAGE SHERIFF BENANA!! Also, I am 34 years old and this made me spit out my drink laughing. Well done Beeyenn.
LostMatcha A lot of people. David Dobrik, for example. He is Liza Koshy's boyfriend, and she's a successful TH-camr, but so is he. I'm sorry, I'm not really good at explaining but yeah.
I love the laughter and fun of Simply's videos; but, is it strange that I really enjoy it when Ben and Cristine just sit down for a few minutes, get real and talk logic?
thinktinkful I'd listen to their podcasts if they'd have any. It's nice, because they're chill and in touch with the youth, but also in touch with the world and what's going on around them so it builds a bridge for us who are just aimlessly on the internet (In my opinion, because I may be considered an 'adult' but I know I don't know much about the world)
This is why I love Cristine, she actually acknowledges that being a TH-camr is way easier than what most people have to go through and she doesn’t act like she’s better than everyone else just cause she has 5 million subscribers. She also isn’t like many celebrities that are all like “Follow your dreams and you will make it!” Because the reality it that most people don’t make it when they just throw everything away to be a famous singer, actor or whatever else and it’s nice to see someone finally going against the norm of encouraging people to give everything up to do something that’s not very secure. This is so long, rant over😂
There are millions of people out there who work just as hard as you tubers do, so no, they don't really work "harder" than regular people. What people don't realize is that when you tubers get really big to the point that they're celebrities, they're not doing everything themselves anymore. Even if they film and edit everything on their own, they have sponsors and income, which allows them to have access to better tools. They can afford lawyers and people to help them out etc.
You are one of the most honest TH-camrs. You may have a few acts you put on for exaggeration of entertainment, but you are not afraid to be blunt and truthful witb viewers and I deeply respect that.
Rainsplash She does make money off it, but it’s not her or Ben’s only source of income so they don’t take it as seriously as most other youtubers who have their level of subscribers. Cool thing about having an actual career!
sentimental sock They both have office jobs. As far as I know, Cristine is a statistician - she analyzes the data from crime scenes. So TH-cam is literally something she does on the side for fun on the weekends
An important note on the 'youtubers work' discussion: It's also really condescending to poor people/people who live in poverty. Like, yes, you do work, but you do work *YOU ENJOY DOING* for way more than you ACTUALLY need to survive, whereas my father has worked himself to the point where on bad days he can BARELY MOVE without assistance and we have *NEVER* been financially sound. We have fought tooth and nail for every little scrap of anything, we've gone without soap before, without shampoo, without food, and that's with my dad keeping a steady job and being DILIGENT with his work. Content creators on TH-cam work hard. but the work is not hard work. There is a huge difference between hard work and working hard. It's like comparing a 3 page event reflection essay to a 15 page research one (for sake of analogy the grade received is top marks on both): both people worked hard on the essay, but the 15 page one required more work and generally harder work (research essays are FAR harder than just writing 3 pages reflecting on an event). (what i said doesn't apply to 'uploads videos daily' TH-camrs. That's a different ballpark)
Umber I couldn’t agree more. IMO manual labor or retail are so much more exhausting than white collar jobs. I’m also really glad that Cristine is doing scholarship giveaways. She’s promoting education and helping people who are actually struggling to pay to make their futures better. Beats any MacBook giveaway garbage in my book.
Thank you so much for this video! I I find it really frustrating to see big youtubers, especially vloggers, whine about how hard their life is. I am a full time student with two jobs I hate but need, just to earn enough money to be able to afford food. You vlog your life and can afford going on a vacation in a 5 star hotel four times a year and buy anything you want. Which is great! I would love that as well but a little self-reflection doesn't hurt. Sorry for the rant but it was nice getting some reassurance on this
SAME! i'm a full time student with two jobs, i graduate in May and i'm struggling to figure out how to afford graduate school. i love that Cristine and Ben are so real and will talk about subjects like this.
Exactly like we students have something so complain about. I feel like these TH-camrs only say their life is hard to try and connect with us but really they have no idea and live in a bubble just like celebrities.
It bothers me to see people that in my eyes at least are unworthy of the success they are having. I love Cristine and Ben for pointing this out, because I agree, not enough people speak up against this and instead actually stimulate this what I think, is a bad development in society. These two are the most genuine couple on TH-cam and I really appreciate that.
Ben is like that one Uncle who complains about the economy and “what society has come to”, but isn’t too annoying about it and is still the cool uncle That made no sense but it’s what he reminds me of Happy birthday H💿L💿 Dad!!!! 🍌
*This whole video, I honestly thought I was alone in thinking all the exact same things.* I love when you guys get real with us. It's my favorite. HBD Ben! The comment about how TH-cam doesn't need another boyfriend of a successful girlfriend. So true. *I cried*
^^^^seriously!!! as a subscriber who isn’t 12 years old and sits in an office job it get paid an 1/8 of what a youtuber does is upsetting. to see something that despite its filming and editing quality, has content that would be beneficial to absolutely no one ever (even comically) none the less to falsely advertise something as a “life hack” , or to click bait to an extreme-sImPlY (😉) to gain a view. Simply mom and dad for president
I LOVE how intellectual and down to earth you both are. I can watch your content and I feel like I'm actually watching real people which is so rare with other creators now. Not that I don't respect what they do, but you guys really keep that balance of good content and being a regular person. Its just really inspiring to me. Its the pick me up I needed right before I start college so thank you. 💖💞💗
Thank you Ben for calling out TH-camrs on their bullshit. I have a really hard time following certain TH-camrs because they're just so out of touch with normal people.
This is so god damn refreshing! I have unfollowed so many you tubers on snap chat who post from their beds saying they have been "editing for you guys for hours" like it's so hard. First world problems hey? Love Ben and cristine you are so real and grounded xx
Lisa Greenleaf hate it whenever you tubers say that it’s “for you guys”. As if they are doing the viewers a favour and are not in it to make money (or express their creativity).
I'm a broke college student that just came back from her 9am-6pm shift at Walmart. Yes, Walmart. I'm glad you're bringing this to some people's attention Cristine. I've kinda stopped caring enough to care, it is what it is sadly.
WorldReligion I need him to do a podcast where he talks about real shit, sometimes with other people like Cristine or Threadbanger. Extra points if he includes content that would get him canceled in the “booty community”
Why do I want them to do a podcast about teaching us life lessons and just goofing off, lol please see this. I'd definitely listen to every episode if yall make one 😉
The second half of this video was so, so good to hear from youtubers. It's a feeling I've had that didn't feel fully validated until I got to hear someone else address it, and to have that be coming from you guys means a lot. Especially Cristine, a youtuber with an actual day job. The narrative successful youtubers have around work just doesn't fit with the fast food job that I got after I finished my Bachelor's that's put me on medical leave for two months due to a repetitive stress injury. It doesn't fit with all the smaller youtubers out there who are making their own films or music or what have you, who can't get past a couple thousand followers. I've seen this from a whole lot of beauty gurus--who, yes, I watch all the time because I love the content--where they're literally putting on makeup and filming for a few hours, take the makeup off, edit the video, and upload, and that's their job. The work to pay ratio is just completely skewed.
Thank you. I work part-time retail at a Shopper's Drug Mart. I have a BSc and an MSc. It took me almost a year to find my retail job and I've been looking for full-time work for two years now. It just feels nice to be acknowledged. All I want is your day job - working for the government (we apparently live very close to each other based on the Dollar Tree you went to lol)
I have two bachelors degrees and I work 3 jobs so I can afford to live. Two of my jobs I work with babies and young children with disabilities and my one job I work as a counselor in a domestic violence shelter. It’s frustrating to hear TH-camrs say how hard their life is and how hard they work with little to show for it while sitting on a pile of cash, as I work over 50 hours per week with disabled kids and traumatized adults struggling to make ends meet.
The bit about youtubers complaining about how hard they work is so relatable. I called out Melissa Alatorre for this on Instagram and she came at my THROAT in the DMs and told me that I has no idea how hard she works, that sometimes it takes her a whole day to film and edit, and that it requires more discipline than a normal 9-5 job. I was HOWLING with laughter, because I’m a TEACHER for crying out loud!!! Her argument was null and void at that point because she continued to post videos of her working out in the middle of the day and sitting on her couch watching movies in her pajamas lmao.
Oh my gawd. Yes, because her whole day of filming and editing TOTALLY IS COMPARABLE TO TEACHING THE YOUTH AND SHAPING RESPONSIBLE KIDDOS. Gtfo whoever that chick is.
Filming and editing is hard, no doubt. But the fact teaching actual discipline everyday and lashing your body out yo give wisdom to kids everyday... Is never a comparable WORKLOAD to something you'd already know what to do, like film and edit. So boi, you deserve praise.
oOFrosty BlueDawnOo Yeah, it takes time and talent, but do they do that every day from Monday to Friday? NO! Also, most of them are on snapchat and you can see the amount of time they are sleeping, or doing nothing.
THANK YOU!!!!! I always see these youtubers like Liza Koshy saying how hard they’re working and how they need to take a break. Like I’d love to take a break from working all of the possible shifts I can at the mall while telling a bunch of snobby rich people to buy this purse and buy this dress. But I can’t and I don’t get to just take a break because I have bills that need to be paid.
I completely agree with the work thing, but I also think that many youtubers forget that youtube isn't a "forever" thing. Look at how many things came before youtube. It's a now thing, but when something better (newer) hits the market people will slowly forget about youtube, and when that happens there is a huge chance that youtubers will lose their income from the switch. Their income already is being lowered due to advertisers pulling out and/or limiting advertisement on this platform. I think one of the main reasons why I enjoy your channel is because you still work your 9-5, you are still extremely grounded in the reality that 99% of us live daily.
Okay watched the whole vid now. It's easy to see how affected Ben was by this and I appreciated the convo that came out of it. Some pretty interesting info about the background of the Troom Troom channels. Keep your perspective, though - it's too easy to get totally jaded. I'm also an '88er and will be turning 30 in September!
THANK YOU for saying this, I thought I was the only one who was questioning their "hard work". I understand that there is a lot of work being done behind the scenes, but for the most part, TH-camrs make their own schedule and get paid a lot for it. It's always funny seeing a TH-camr complain about their "hectic" day, which consists of getting their nails done for 2 hours, eating at a fancy restaurant, and stopping at the mall for their 10th pair of Louboutins.
SprinklesOnLips “i’ve been running errands like crazy today!” = went to 3 different sephoras to buy makeup and got their PR packages from the po box lol. Ok.
I feel the same way. I get so tired of TH-camrs complaining about how hard they work. I have been getting so irritated with Shane Dawson with this. He has put out an average of a little less than 2 videos a week this year with an average of about 40 or so minutes of content a week and all he does is talk about how hard he works. He should switch lives with me for a week and work in tech support 40 hours a week for a small fraction of the money he makes.
I'm not sure Shane is a great example of this though...he legit writes his books, is developing a production company, has his podcast, and does his videos. Yes, that's not as "hard" as lots of normal people, but it seems like it's WAY more than most other youtubers do.
Cruelty Free RV I agree, I think that Shane’s more recent videos have been higher effort than before, though his job is certainly more enjoyable than the average person’s. I dont think i hold that against him, because as well as talking about how hard he works, i dont think its really complaining; he constantly talks about how much better he feels now than how he used to.
Oh my god, I just love when you two give the "real talk" it is not bothersome, as some other people may think, in fact, its helpful and really interessting. Id love to hear you two having a podcast or something, if you had time fpr that, ofcourse. However, just wanted to say that I, and many other of your supporters love seeing you and Ben talk about serious stuff as much as we love seeing y'all doing random shit.
Đorđević Milica hell yes!! I would listen to that. I have a podcast addiction and you guys would be hilarious! Educated, insightful AND funny. The trifecta!
Đorđević Milica I like that even though cristine can be super funny and goofy, she’s not an idiot and doesn’t act like it. She has actual opinions from a smart perspective and so does Ben.
I truly think that Cristine is one of the best youtubers, not just because her content but also because she isn’t the kind of youtuber that is fake to all their fans, she actually brings us back to reality. Life doesn’t always go as planned when you want to be a big star/youtuber. And it truly is sad that youtubers that post lazy content saying that its really hard work, (although it is) don’t know what is like working for a company or a retail job cause those are actually hard jobs but don’t get paid as well. I personally think that its really cool that Cristine has job outside of youtube unlike other youtubers. Anyways, sorry I made you read that much, here’s some holo for u 💿💿💿💿💿💿💿
Little Dead Girl I honestly think that if people still did TH-cam as a fun hobby and not as a way to make a living...the quality of content would go way up.
It’s just a joke ..a lot of male TH-camrs date really famous women on TH-cam and as a result their channel get big. Or they start their own channel because of their relationship. Both Jenna’s ex and current bf are relevant because of her, same with Safiya and others. Obviously Ben is popular on this channel but he doesn’t want his own. They are the Realest of them All. They work and live their lives like the rest of us and still manage to make content to entertain us and also educate and give us real advice!
Rosy Rojas yeah I definitely follow Max no sleeves and Julian. Thanks to Jenna they're both wildly successful. Max no sleeves is funny but I think Julien actually has videography talent.
I think the reason that a lot of people don't call out youtubers who whine about how much work they do in the comments (relative to their own work) is an age thing. A lot of more vocal commenters and people involved in youtube communities haven't reached an age yet where they know how much work a 9-5 or a shift job is. And as a result when their favourite youtuber posts an emotional video about how tough their life is (an emotional video they also profit with), they don't question it. And are likely to downvote and insult the shit out of anyone who does dare to question it.
EvileLlamaThingeh Agreed. Anyone with any sense will get targeted on a witch hunt by their rabid fans who will come with every excude in the book- especially on Twitter. It's just not worth it.
I totally get what they’re saying about youtubers being out of touch with reality. I follow a lot of vloggers who post “a day in my life” videos and it’s so frustrating how they’re all like...the same? Like wake up in California and basically do nothing of worth all day - sit around and look cute at home, meet up with someone for lunch at a fancy restaurant, do other fun things through the day - take a second to go back home and edit for a couple hours...complain about how tired and burnt out they are because of it. Go out again and do more fun things. Well guys that was a day in my life! I’m working so hard for you but it’s worth it share like and subscribe!! And it’s just so annoying like we struggle so hard to survive and they’re out here just living their fantasy life without realizing the reality of most of their viewers. Sorry for the rant but this is definitely a rant-worthy topic.
But like think what's gonna happen in a couple years when youtube goes out of style and they have nothing to fall back on? Seriously though it's kind of ridiculous that some vloggers/streamers go 'oh I'm so so so tired editing videos and playing video games to entertain you guys'. How can you even say that when people are actually working and not sitting at a desk in front a computer everyday?
andrew Desi to be fair, a lot of people do work at a desk in front of a computer all day. In fact I’m pretty sure Cristine and Ben’s day jobs are precisely that. And I’m not convinced that the TH-cam bubble will burst exactly. I mean people said that about both film and television when they started out. I think you tube will change and evolve in some way though - after all, it’s already so different than when it first started.
I agree with you, I think I could have worded that better. I was specifically talking about people that plays video games/basically wake up and just do nothing for the whole day and they could still somehow make a living off of that.
Cristine and Ben are great people and not like the majority of TH-camrs with their position. They often talk about serious issues that are often forgotten by their younger audience. Thank you for that!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Y'all don't know how bad I want this video to go viral or just really popular or SOMETHING! I just need more people to hear the truth Cristine and Ben are spilling because it's what I think about all the time. Thank you guys for not being brainwashed like most of TH-cam ❤️
Amani Hossain personally I think that a lot of people know this, it’s just that we never really complain about it cuz like, what’s the point, you know? And the people who are in a position, as in, they have a really big following, to create videos that perhaps engage with people on a more real level are typically so in that TH-cam bubble that they really don’t think about it anyway :/
All dislikes are from disgruntled Troom Troom employees. They have found you guys out. Last time I messed with Troom Troom, I found my cat in a sewer. Be careful. They are many and they are strong
Aye. Preach. I work as a technician and I work 12 hours. Woooooo! My 4am to 4pm. I regret nothing. However I see these youtubers making these videos and it is easier than what I am doing, and yes. Sometimes, I think of making a channel and make some videos for a month and then travel and blow money on stupid things. I'd like that. But at the same time. I know that's not possible. It is not possible. Let's be honest. But god. Thank you for appreciating the workers who also do hard work. Thank you guys.
I work as an interpreter and I went to interpret for parent-teacher conferences at a middle school. And this 6th grader blatantly told his parents that he wasn't going to try and school because he's just gonna be a TH-camr. I just laughed (probs the most unprofessional thing to do) I couldn't believe it. Most of the successful content creators have been at it for years! And its only a select few that get that lucky! Pay attention in school kids and work hard for what you want, but don't expect things to fall into your lap.
The reflections segment... That is the exact reason I stopped watching a couple of makeup channels. Oh, you're exhausted today? You filmed twoooo videos in your California mansion? You're complaining to the very people who make your lifestyle possible, by watching your videos and using your codes and buying your products. Get some damn perspective. Anyway, rant over, thank you Cristine and Ben for being smart and sharing your thoughtful wisdom and humor with the world! 💖💿
I actually agree with you, but I also think that for some you tubers when they talk about being exhausted they’re also traveling and doing other hints behind the scenes, ya know?
Jamie Lamie that's a very good point. Traveling, doing appearances, and having meetings behind the scenes are all definitely time consuming and mentally draining. I should clarify that it was comments made on snapchat, specifically about filming and posting videos, that led me to unfollow. I just can't imagine working half a day and then complaining to my boss that my job is hard, especially if I know my boss works longer hours and does a lot to support me. It was just a comment that was made too often for my liking, but then again I'm not in the target demographic so my opinion is irrelevant. Everybody is entitled to a good whine once in a while, but I think some people who owe their success and lifestyle to their TH-cam subscribers should not, essentially, be telling the subscribers that making content for them is a burden. Again, that's just how it came across to me, and I totally agree that it is definitely a lot of hard work to maintain a successful channel and brand!
Cause beyyn got his birthday, he became for that one day of the year someone else than just a drink slave - benana sheriff. Christine is such a good gf, literally goals
“Bananas in pajamas and e chasing teddy bears!” Thank you for freaking knowing that show!! I had a “banana 1” plush when I was little, but any time I mention it, people look at me like I’m crazy!! Also, Ben, happy very belated birthday. I love you both!... and Jen... but mostly y’all.
I work at a school and it’s so hard to explain to kids that the youtubers they watch are the ones who make it. I don’t want to discourage them, but when they won’t do their work because their favorite youtuber dropped out of school it’s very frustrating. I can’t explain to a 9 year old that just because their favorite youtuber dropped out of school and made it doesn’t mean that they will. And that doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t do their work. They’re literally in third grade.
pajanaparty that’s sad ... when I was young, I had as an exemple Bill Gates, Zuckerberg (sorry for the spelling), but we acknowledged that if we tried the same, we would finish working in a Macdonald for the rest of our life. I believe parents should really censure TH-cam for their children. Look before, then permit it. So maybe they can explain, and discuss about it.
Unfortunately, not all parents are willing to do that. Lots of parents are very hands-off in their approach to parenting. This kid in particular doesn't have very involved parents because of their jobs. We still have great role models for kids today (Malala, Ellen, etc.), but kids have access to lots more people that don't always put forward what's best for kids. I wish that TH-camrs would be more proactive and promote finishing high school at the very least. Many people go straight into the workforce out of high school because that's what suits them best. To be real, there's nothing wrong with that. It's when they don't talk about how they were lucky to make it (like Cristine said) and don't mention how hard it is to make it. I just wish more TH-camrs put that forward.
Also, the youtubers telling their subscribers that they dropped out of school are irresponsible and clearly too immature for the platform. Even if you do end up a "successful youtuber" why not have a good education too? I find the most interesting youtubers I watch are the ones who take an interest in learning, they have more to say 🙂 xx
I cannot love this particular video anymore if I tried. You both hit the nail on the head and made so many good points. A lot of TH-camrs have forgotten the value of money because it's essentially just being thrown at them at this point, with undoubtedly less stress than you would get working in either a food or retail industry (I've done both- I cry er'ry time). Cristine actually still works outside of TH-cam. You two are just awesome.
You are both so passionate when speaking about this stuff and I love it. You get so fired up for others and that just shows how caring and kind you are.
I really love the real-life chats at the end of these videos--especially this one. When I was younger, I tossed around a lot of ideas and passions I would love as a career. But as I matured, I realized they either weren't viable careers or worth the heaps of tribulations that went hand-in-hand with them. Now, at 21, I've settled on radiography, a career that really excites me and incorporates a lot of my interests/passions. It doesn't require me to go into debt to pursue it, nor does it mean it will consume my life (well, save for the two rigorous years of schooling and the first year on the job)--which means I'm open to do other things that aren't sustainable careers for me. (Such as writing, creating music videos, doing costume makeup, etc.)
I love watching the reflections because you and Ben are so smart and REAL TH-camrs. It's amazing how you actually pay attention to problems unlike some people. I respect you so much for that. Thank you.

Omg as I started reading your comment she said exactly what you commented as I read it.
It’s the same thing
i love the fact that you guys are one of the few youtubers who haven't lost contact with reality. it's really refreshing to see you be real and still have fun on here. keep it up bois
Nice Smoothie there ;)
And I agree, Cristine and Ben are both extremely humble and down to reality. Despite getting good income from TH-cam, Cristine haven't left her day job, which she loves. I aspire to be like Cristine now. Fun and goofy, but serious and mature and educated.
I love how you guys think so deeply about the stuff you just talked about in the end of the video. There's not many people who do that and have the courage to post it on TH-cam itself. I mean ofcourse i truly believe some youtubers work way harder than we think but it's people who don't even do anything else apart from making a catchy/clickbaity thumbnail to fool their viewers and you can't do anything about it, you know you're gonna fall for it again bc it's human psychology. Oh well my paragraph is a little too long ok bye 😂❤
some youtubers like animators work really hard and are only able to post one video a month they take the time to make quality animations that we as viewers will enjoy.
IRadin Xd Yes, but then you have other TH-camrs...like Emma Chamberlain. I like her videos, but she made one video that was about “Why i dropped out of school” which made me angry because she basically talked about how hard she works and hated school so much and couldn’t handle it. That video made me mad because that doesn’t compare at all to having a full time job and having to work hours at a time, then making vlogging videos (lol I was thinking it about sorry it’s so long 😐)
I love watching Cristine’s* videos and then remembering that she also works and office job, and puts out videos at the same time.
Tori Jones cristine **
Nicole LaBonte plz no
Tori Jones if you are a true HOLOSEXUAL you would know that you wrote Cristine’s name incorrectly, you wrote Cristine with H..... however it is without the H.... Cristine is the right way of writing her name😊👌🏻
Bella Montero Bonilla Oof I apologize my friends name is Christine so my phone wanted to correct to how I normally spell it.
which job does she have
I love that you two really say what so many of us think...even if it's maybe taboo in the "community".
Then again, y'all both have day jobs.
YYES
They are both statisticians.
+Catherine Thomas yes, that's why I said that they both had day jobs although I thought Beyyynn was an accountant and Cristine was a crime analyst/statistician?
kate carew i love how you said Beyyyynnnn so casually lmao
+Wulmert ha! Is there any other way?!?
😜
“Is it weird that I’m kind of into this?”
Rhiannon Ben is a freak!! 😍😍😍
#BenanaOohNana
Remember when he was doing her makeup and he also got turned on? Ben really is freaky
Rhiannon Its hilarious.
Bloomwave yes, I remember that.
Ah finally real TH-camrs
Lmao! 😂😂
I think you hit the nail on the head about some youtubers working "hard". Its TEDIOUS yes but hard? I don't really know about that. That creates a huge disconnect from the audience and the creator and its just really disheartening.
“TH-cam doesn’t need another boyfriend of a famous female TH-camr making a channel” 😂😂😂 SAVAGE SHERIFF BENANA!! Also, I am 34 years old and this made me spit out my drink laughing. Well done Beeyenn.
who was he referencing?
LostMatcha A lot of people. David Dobrik, for example. He is Liza Koshy's boyfriend, and she's a successful TH-camr, but so is he. I'm sorry, I'm not really good at explaining but yeah.
Yeah, Julien is the first one who came to my mind, though I effing love Julien. Safiya's bf also has his own channel now, I think.
Danielle Spargo Tyler does have a channel, he’s cute but I know most people watch his vids looking for more Saf
I love the laughter and fun of Simply's videos; but, is it strange that I really enjoy it when Ben and Cristine just sit down for a few minutes, get real and talk logic?
thinktinkful no it is not strange at all. I love their talking session too:)
thinktinkful I'd listen to their podcasts if they'd have any. It's nice, because they're chill and in touch with the youth, but also in touch with the world and what's going on around them so it builds a bridge for us who are just aimlessly on the internet (In my opinion, because I may be considered an 'adult' but I know I don't know much about the world)
I’m a nurse working 12 hour shifts and paying off student loans. I can guarantee all my coworkers are working harder than any youtuber.
You sound like a bit of a jerk
@@kingexplosionmurderfuckoff9376 okay but he/she isn't wrong
This is especially true now your comment she’d like wine!!
respect to you and your fellow nurses for all your hard work !! It doesn’t go unnoticed ❤️
This is actually quite logical.
This is why I love Cristine, she actually acknowledges that being a TH-camr is way easier than what most people have to go through and she doesn’t act like she’s better than everyone else just cause she has 5 million subscribers. She also isn’t like many celebrities that are all like “Follow your dreams and you will make it!” Because the reality it that most people don’t make it when they just throw everything away to be a famous singer, actor or whatever else and it’s nice to see someone finally going against the norm of encouraging people to give everything up to do something that’s not very secure.
This is so long, rant over😂
She also works a real job, so she has perspective on what it's like to hit the daily grind. Cristine is amazing for sure
See i agree with this but I also do have to say people who do youtube full time and try to incorporate a business into it probably do work harder
see, this is why i believe youtubers are overpaid.
There are millions of people out there who work just as hard as you tubers do, so no, they don't really work "harder" than regular people. What people don't realize is that when you tubers get really big to the point that they're celebrities, they're not doing everything themselves anymore. Even if they film and edit everything on their own, they have sponsors and income, which allows them to have access to better tools. They can afford lawyers and people to help them out etc.
There are certain TH-camrs that complain that they're just getting by and they barely upload videos.
You are one of the most honest TH-camrs. You may have a few acts you put on for exaggeration of entertainment, but you are not afraid to be blunt and truthful witb viewers and I deeply respect that.
I'm pretty sure cristine is doing TH-cam for fun and not making money off of it, which is why she's so down to earth
Rainsplash She does make money off it, but it’s not her or Ben’s only source of income so they don’t take it as seriously as most other youtubers who have their level of subscribers. Cool thing about having an actual career!
Do Ben or Cristine have other jobs then if it's not their only source of income?
sentimental sock yeah they do have other jobs. They did mention in some videos.
sentimental sock They both have office jobs. As far as I know, Cristine is a statistician - she analyzes the data from crime scenes. So TH-cam is literally something she does on the side for fun on the weekends
An important note on the 'youtubers work' discussion: It's also really condescending to poor people/people who live in poverty. Like, yes, you do work, but you do work *YOU ENJOY DOING* for way more than you ACTUALLY need to survive, whereas my father has worked himself to the point where on bad days he can BARELY MOVE without assistance and we have *NEVER* been financially sound. We have fought tooth and nail for every little scrap of anything, we've gone without soap before, without shampoo, without food, and that's with my dad keeping a steady job and being DILIGENT with his work.
Content creators on TH-cam work hard. but the work is not hard work. There is a huge difference between hard work and working hard. It's like comparing a 3 page event reflection essay to a 15 page research one (for sake of analogy the grade received is top marks on both): both people worked hard on the essay, but the 15 page one required more work and generally harder work (research essays are FAR harder than just writing 3 pages reflecting on an event).
(what i said doesn't apply to 'uploads videos daily' TH-camrs. That's a different ballpark)
Umber I love this comment, it makes such an important point that people seldom think about!
Umber I couldn’t agree more. IMO manual labor or retail are so much more exhausting than white collar jobs.
I’m also really glad that Cristine is doing scholarship giveaways. She’s promoting education and helping people who are actually struggling to pay to make their futures better. Beats any MacBook giveaway garbage in my book.
Umber 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Totally agree with this comment and especially the essay analogy!!!
Thank you so much for this video! I I find it really frustrating to see big youtubers, especially vloggers, whine about how hard their life is. I am a full time student with two jobs I hate but need, just to earn enough money to be able to afford food. You vlog your life and can afford going on a vacation in a 5 star hotel four times a year and buy anything you want. Which is great! I would love that as well but a little self-reflection doesn't hurt. Sorry for the rant but it was nice getting some reassurance on this
SAME! i'm a full time student with two jobs, i graduate in May and i'm struggling to figure out how to afford graduate school. i love that Cristine and Ben are so real and will talk about subjects like this.
Exactly like we students have something so complain about. I feel like these TH-camrs only say their life is hard to try and connect with us but really they have no idea and live in a bubble just like celebrities.
thank you!
preach!
lmao "i dont think youtube needs another boyfriend to the successful female youtuber making a channel". he really is savage omg hahahahahahaha
ben and cristine always turn into philosophers in these videos and im here for it
It bothers me to see people that in my eyes at least are unworthy of the success they are having. I love Cristine and Ben for pointing this out, because I agree, not enough people speak up against this and instead actually stimulate this what I think, is a bad development in society. These two are the most genuine couple on TH-cam and I really appreciate that.
i totally agree with you! seeing all these successful youtubers takes away all my motivation to do anything
Ben is like that one Uncle who complains about the economy and “what society has come to”, but isn’t too annoying about it and is still the cool uncle
That made no sense but it’s what he reminds me of
Happy birthday H💿L💿 Dad!!!! 🍌
Hope is it weird how I completely know what u mean
and he's totally right about it
Hope He says all the this stuff but he hasn't watched the video yet..
I have an uncle exactly like that, you're not the only one that relates lol
*This whole video, I honestly thought I was alone in thinking all the exact same things.*
I love when you guys get real with us. It's my favorite. HBD Ben!
The comment about how TH-cam doesn't need another boyfriend of a successful girlfriend. So true. *I cried*
Meow Rchl same
Truth
Who do they mean please?
^^^^seriously!!! as a subscriber who isn’t 12 years old and sits in an office job it get paid an 1/8 of what a youtuber does is upsetting. to see something that despite its filming and editing quality, has content that would be beneficial to absolutely no one ever (even comically) none the less to falsely advertise something as a “life hack” , or to click bait to an extreme-sImPlY (😉) to gain a view.
Simply mom and dad for president
Meow Rchl was thinking the same ❤
Ben & Christine need to definitely make a podcast or something. Right?
Mando N. YES
id listen or watch the shit out of that
Mando N. Hell yeah!
Mando N. Cristine*
YESSSS
I LOVE how intellectual and down to earth you both are. I can watch your content and I feel like I'm actually watching real people which is so rare with other creators now. Not that I don't respect what they do, but you guys really keep that balance of good content and being a regular person. Its just really inspiring to me. Its the pick me up I needed right before I start college so thank you. 💖💞💗
Thank you Ben for calling out TH-camrs on their bullshit. I have a really hard time following certain TH-camrs because they're just so out of touch with normal people.
Ben and Cristine should have a podcast
Edit: oh my god thanks everyone for the likes
Ben’s face of banana regret will haunt me forever.
This is so god damn refreshing! I have unfollowed so many you tubers on snap chat who post from their beds saying they have been "editing for you guys for hours" like it's so hard. First world problems hey? Love Ben and cristine you are so real and grounded xx
Lisa Greenleaf hate it whenever you tubers say that it’s “for you guys”. As if they are doing the viewers a favour and are not in it to make money (or express their creativity).
Words just can't express how much I absolutely LOVE you two!!! And Dad.....Amen!!!!!! Lol!
Molly Kennedy And Jen!
I feel like everyone who is on youtube changes their personality a little bit while being filmed, I think ben is the exception.
I just wanna say i love your profile picture😂
And yeah i agree.
I'm a broke college student that just came back from her 9am-6pm shift at Walmart. Yes, Walmart. I'm glad you're bringing this to some people's attention Cristine. I've kinda stopped caring enough to care, it is what it is sadly.
Ben needs his own channel. Just, "meaningful talks with Ben". Like Rob Czar used to do with beer. 😂
WorldReligion I need him to do a podcast where he talks about real shit, sometimes with other people like Cristine or Threadbanger. Extra points if he includes content that would get him canceled in the “booty community”
They’ve got their podcast now. Highly recommend if you guys haven’t checked it out yet. SimplyPodLogical on YT and Spotify
Why do I want them to do a podcast about teaching us life lessons and just goofing off, lol please see this. I'd definitely listen to every episode if yall make one 😉
Christeeny that is a superb idea!!
YESSSSS OMG
omg i would def listen to that
Yes PLEASE
YEEEESSS
I officially love ben.
Vaibhavi Singh I've always loved him
The second half of this video was so, so good to hear from youtubers. It's a feeling I've had that didn't feel fully validated until I got to hear someone else address it, and to have that be coming from you guys means a lot. Especially Cristine, a youtuber with an actual day job.
The narrative successful youtubers have around work just doesn't fit with the fast food job that I got after I finished my Bachelor's that's put me on medical leave for two months due to a repetitive stress injury. It doesn't fit with all the smaller youtubers out there who are making their own films or music or what have you, who can't get past a couple thousand followers.
I've seen this from a whole lot of beauty gurus--who, yes, I watch all the time because I love the content--where they're literally putting on makeup and filming for a few hours, take the makeup off, edit the video, and upload, and that's their job.
The work to pay ratio is just completely skewed.
fucking love these two. the realest down to earth you tubers who don’t get enough credit. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you. I work part-time retail at a Shopper's Drug Mart. I have a BSc and an MSc. It took me almost a year to find my retail job and I've been looking for full-time work for two years now. It just feels nice to be acknowledged. All I want is your day job - working for the government (we apparently live very close to each other based on the Dollar Tree you went to lol)
Can totally relate, i have 2 Science degrees and I'm currently unemployed. The highest paid job I've ever had was a retail assistant in London 😔
I have two bachelors degrees and I work 3 jobs so I can afford to live. Two of my jobs I work with babies and young children with disabilities and my one job I work as a counselor in a domestic violence shelter. It’s frustrating to hear TH-camrs say how hard their life is and how hard they work with little to show for it while sitting on a pile of cash, as I work over 50 hours per week with disabled kids and traumatized adults struggling to make ends meet.
The bit about youtubers complaining about how hard they work is so relatable. I called out Melissa Alatorre for this on Instagram and she came at my THROAT in the DMs and told me that I has no idea how hard she works, that sometimes it takes her a whole day to film and edit, and that it requires more discipline than a normal 9-5 job. I was HOWLING with laughter, because I’m a TEACHER for crying out loud!!! Her argument was null and void at that point because she continued to post videos of her working out in the middle of the day and sitting on her couch watching movies in her pajamas lmao.
S JR oh my god. At least she took it to the DMs, because using a major platform to call out a viewer would be disgusting, but honestly WOW
Also thank you for your job as a teacher! You’re important!
Oh my gawd. Yes, because her whole day of filming and editing TOTALLY IS COMPARABLE TO TEACHING THE YOUTH AND SHAPING RESPONSIBLE KIDDOS.
Gtfo whoever that chick is.
Filming and editing is hard, no doubt. But the fact teaching actual discipline everyday and lashing your body out yo give wisdom to kids everyday... Is never a comparable WORKLOAD to something you'd already know what to do, like film and edit.
So boi, you deserve praise.
oOFrosty BlueDawnOo Yeah, it takes time and talent, but do they do that every day from Monday to Friday? NO! Also, most of them are on snapchat and you can see the amount of time they are sleeping, or doing nothing.
THANK YOU!!!!! I always see these youtubers like Liza Koshy saying how hard they’re working and how they need to take a break. Like I’d love to take a break from working all of the possible shifts I can at the mall while telling a bunch of snobby rich people to buy this purse and buy this dress. But I can’t and I don’t get to just take a break because I have bills that need to be paid.
I completely agree with the work thing, but I also think that many youtubers forget that youtube isn't a "forever" thing. Look at how many things came before youtube. It's a now thing, but when something better (newer) hits the market people will slowly forget about youtube, and when that happens there is a huge chance that youtubers will lose their income from the switch. Their income already is being lowered due to advertisers pulling out and/or limiting advertisement on this platform. I think one of the main reasons why I enjoy your channel is because you still work your 9-5, you are still extremely grounded in the reality that 99% of us live daily.
“Why are you so fun to have fun with” 😭
Christine being real about 9-5s. My fav TH-cam who works and makes great nail art vids!
Lauren *made* great nail art videos
Agreed. I love the fact that she still does the 9-5 grind and recognizes the the TH-cam thing can sometimes be pretty idiotic...
There’s no h
*CRISTINE
Okay watched the whole vid now. It's easy to see how affected Ben was by this and I appreciated the convo that came out of it. Some pretty interesting info about the background of the Troom Troom channels. Keep your perspective, though - it's too easy to get totally jaded. I'm also an '88er and will be turning 30 in September!
rachelallencamus my mom will be 38 on the 16th 😀👍. She's from '80 and has given up. Accept being jaded
Happy "You probably had it"-Birthday!
i love how ben had gradually went from somewhat camera shy to what the fuck is all of this and why am i still here.
"Is it weird that I'm kinda into this?" -Beeeyyynn
xD
The 220 dislikes are from the channels of Troom Troom
hAHA 😂
And by the other youtubers who got offended by the reality Ben and Cristine laid upon us lol
Nick 7 one for each of their channels.
THANK YOU for saying this, I thought I was the only one who was questioning their "hard work". I understand that there is a lot of work being done behind the scenes, but for the most part, TH-camrs make their own schedule and get paid a lot for it. It's always funny seeing a TH-camr complain about their "hectic" day, which consists of getting their nails done for 2 hours, eating at a fancy restaurant, and stopping at the mall for their 10th pair of Louboutins.
SprinklesOnLips “i’ve been running errands like crazy today!” = went to 3 different sephoras to buy makeup and got their PR packages from the po box lol. Ok.
Not to mention most people had to go to college way longer than some of these youtubers
I feel the same way. I get so tired of TH-camrs complaining about how hard they work. I have been getting so irritated with Shane Dawson with this. He has put out an average of a little less than 2 videos a week this year with an average of about 40 or so minutes of content a week and all he does is talk about how hard he works. He should switch lives with me for a week and work in tech support 40 hours a week for a small fraction of the money he makes.
I'm not sure Shane is a great example of this though...he legit writes his books, is developing a production company, has his podcast, and does his videos. Yes, that's not as "hard" as lots of normal people, but it seems like it's WAY more than most other youtubers do.
Cruelty Free RV I agree, I think that Shane’s more recent videos have been higher effort than before, though his job is certainly more enjoyable than the average person’s. I dont think i hold that against him, because as well as talking about how hard he works, i dont think its really complaining; he constantly talks about how much better he feels now than how he used to.
Oh my god, I just love when you two give the "real talk" it is not bothersome, as some other people may think, in fact, its helpful and really interessting. Id love to hear you two having a podcast or something, if you had time fpr that, ofcourse. However, just wanted to say that I, and many other of your supporters love seeing you and Ben talk about serious stuff as much as we love seeing y'all doing random shit.
Đorđević Milica
Yes!! A Ben & Cristine podcast. I would totally listen to that. They’re both funny but also extremely smart and informative.
Đorđević Milica hell yes!! I would listen to that. I have a podcast addiction and you guys would be hilarious! Educated, insightful AND funny. The trifecta!
Đorđević Milica I like that even though cristine can be super funny and goofy, she’s not an idiot and doesn’t act like it. She has actual opinions from a smart perspective and so does Ben.
A podcast would be epic
Thank god for a TH-camr that understands real life and how hard a more “average “ job is
As a 19 year old who works two jobs, I appreciate the serious talk at the end ❤💛❤💛❤
I truly think that Cristine is one of the best youtubers, not just because her content but also because she isn’t the kind of youtuber that is fake to all their fans, she actually brings us back to reality. Life doesn’t always go as planned when you want to be a big star/youtuber. And it truly is sad that youtubers that post lazy content saying that its really hard work, (although it is) don’t know what is like working for a company or a retail job cause those are actually hard jobs but don’t get paid as well. I personally think that its really cool that Cristine has job outside of youtube unlike other youtubers. Anyways, sorry I made you read that much, here’s some holo for u
💿💿💿💿💿💿💿
I think I really respect cristine because she works an office job as well as youtube
Little Dead Girl I honestly think that if people still did TH-cam as a fun hobby and not as a way to make a living...the quality of content would go way up.
Because for her youtube its her hobby not her job, she doesn't have to upload, she does it because she like it and thats what i love about her!
Agree
We should start a petition to free the blue eyed girl
You can tell that Ben is regretting some life decisions, but is still enjoying himself at the same time
I think Ben kinda likes being grumpy lol
1:35 Ooh Ben's getting kinky
Remember a couple videos when he said to call him daddy 😂😂😂
London Person i think it was the spa video
London Person yeah I'm pretty sure it was the spa one. If not it was the other most recent video he was in
I thought so too 😂😂
Lonely Commenter LOL
That ending tho
voting for ben and christine discussion podcast pleeease
Why literally noone liked this comment?????
Heheh they do now
Cristine with no H
You predict the future lol
😏
“I don’t think TH-cam needs another boyfriend to the successful female youtuber making a channel.” Uffff the shade, Ben!! Lol
All I can think of is Tyler, Safyia's boyfriend LOL
i can't figure out who that's about though lol
It’s just a joke ..a lot of male TH-camrs date really famous women on TH-cam and as a result their channel get big. Or they start their own channel because of their relationship. Both Jenna’s ex and current bf are relevant because of her, same with Safiya and others. Obviously Ben is popular on this channel but he doesn’t want his own. They are the Realest of them All. They work and live their lives like the rest of us and still manage to make content to entertain us and also educate and give us real advice!
i loveee tyler. im glad he has his own channel cause i cant get enough of him
Rosy Rojas yeah I definitely follow Max no sleeves and Julian. Thanks to Jenna they're both wildly successful. Max no sleeves is funny but I think Julien actually has videography talent.
Poor Ben
Vanessa Blanco he has bananas so *its not a problem anymore*
Byeeeen
Vanessa Blanco BEYYYN
I think the reason that a lot of people don't call out youtubers who whine about how much work they do in the comments (relative to their own work) is an age thing. A lot of more vocal commenters and people involved in youtube communities haven't reached an age yet where they know how much work a 9-5 or a shift job is. And as a result when their favourite youtuber posts an emotional video about how tough their life is (an emotional video they also profit with), they don't question it. And are likely to downvote and insult the shit out of anyone who does dare to question it.
EvileLlamaThingeh Agreed. Anyone with any sense will get targeted on a witch hunt by their rabid fans who will come with every excude in the book- especially on Twitter. It's just not worth it.
Honestly, that's everyone on Twitter, no matter what the community.
Copyright Abubu
YES
I totally get what they’re saying about youtubers being out of touch with reality. I follow a lot of vloggers who post “a day in my life” videos and it’s so frustrating how they’re all like...the same? Like wake up in California and basically do nothing of worth all day - sit around and look cute at home, meet up with someone for lunch at a fancy restaurant, do other fun things through the day - take a second to go back home and edit for a couple hours...complain about how tired and burnt out they are because of it. Go out again and do more fun things. Well guys that was a day in my life! I’m working so hard for you but it’s worth it share like and subscribe!! And it’s just so annoying like we struggle so hard to survive and they’re out here just living their fantasy life without realizing the reality of most of their viewers. Sorry for the rant but this is definitely a rant-worthy topic.
Hahaha yes! And they all seem to start their day at like 11am. Like...? I've been up for 4-5 hours by 11am lol
But like think what's gonna happen in a couple years when youtube goes out of style and they have nothing to fall back on? Seriously though it's kind of ridiculous that some vloggers/streamers go 'oh I'm so so so tired editing videos and playing video games to entertain you guys'. How can you even say that when people are actually working and not sitting at a desk in front a computer everyday?
andrew Desi to be fair, a lot of people do work at a desk in front of a computer all day. In fact I’m pretty sure Cristine and Ben’s day jobs are precisely that.
And I’m not convinced that the TH-cam bubble will burst exactly. I mean people said that about both film and television when they started out. I think you tube will change and evolve in some way though - after all, it’s already so different than when it first started.
I agree with you, I think I could have worded that better. I was specifically talking about people that plays video games/basically wake up and just do nothing for the whole day and they could still somehow make a living off of that.
I’m pretty sure that those kind of channels will implode within the coming 10 years, max.
Cristine and Ben are great people and not like the majority of TH-camrs with their position. They often talk about serious issues that are often forgotten by their younger audience. Thank you for that!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love how she actually has a real job and not just yt
Idk why but I love when Ben calls her Cris... It's adorable
Y'all don't know how bad I want this video to go viral or just really popular or SOMETHING! I just need more people to hear the truth Cristine and Ben are spilling because it's what I think about all the time. Thank you guys for not being brainwashed like most of TH-cam ❤️
Amani Hossain personally I think that a lot of people know this, it’s just that we never really complain about it cuz like, what’s the point, you know? And the people who are in a position, as in, they have a really big following, to create videos that perhaps engage with people on a more real level are typically so in that TH-cam bubble that they really don’t think about it anyway :/
Anyone elsewant a "Ben Reflets" Channel
All dislikes are from disgruntled Troom Troom employees. They have found you guys out. Last time I messed with Troom Troom, I found my cat in a sewer. Be careful. They are many and they are strong
Ben: are there any period hacks with bananas
Cristine: shove a banana up there, make it stop
Ben: DemOnTizED
Aye. Preach. I work as a technician and I work 12 hours. Woooooo! My 4am to 4pm. I regret nothing. However I see these youtubers making these videos and it is easier than what I am doing, and yes. Sometimes, I think of making a channel and make some videos for a month and then travel and blow money on stupid things. I'd like that. But at the same time. I know that's not possible. It is not possible. Let's be honest. But god. Thank you for appreciating the workers who also do hard work. Thank you guys.
Seoshi Qurashi Y.T.P. Keep working hard and don’t give up!
Aqmar Jabeen Thank you!!!
Does Beyyyn get his own drink slave for his b'day?
Hopefully! Sounds like he could use some alcoholic ones to wind down after this madness.
Asha Mae maybe a benana daiquiri?
Emma Bergblah i think after all of this he would be sick of bananas! 😂
I work as an interpreter and I went to interpret for parent-teacher conferences at a middle school. And this 6th grader blatantly told his parents that he wasn't going to try and school because he's just gonna be a TH-camr. I just laughed (probs the most unprofessional thing to do) I couldn't believe it. Most of the successful content creators have been at it for years! And its only a select few that get that lucky! Pay attention in school kids and work hard for what you want, but don't expect things to fall into your lap.
The reflection time is so amazing in this video. This made me love you guys even more
Ooh Cristine i see ur highlight!! It looks so good... 😊❤
Shelby 123 Ikr. I think it's the Fenty beauty one. 😍😍☇
The reflections segment... That is the exact reason I stopped watching a couple of makeup channels. Oh, you're exhausted today? You filmed twoooo videos in your California mansion? You're complaining to the very people who make your lifestyle possible, by watching your videos and using your codes and buying your products. Get some damn perspective. Anyway, rant over, thank you Cristine and Ben for being smart and sharing your thoughtful wisdom and humor with the world! 💖💿
lil giz Whaaat I didn't name any names... ;)
I actually agree with you, but I also think that for some you tubers when they talk about being exhausted they’re also traveling and doing other hints behind the scenes, ya know?
Jamie Lamie that's a very good point. Traveling, doing appearances, and having meetings behind the scenes are all definitely time consuming and mentally draining. I should clarify that it was comments made on snapchat, specifically about filming and posting videos, that led me to unfollow. I just can't imagine working half a day and then complaining to my boss that my job is hard, especially if I know my boss works longer hours and does a lot to support me. It was just a comment that was made too often for my liking, but then again I'm not in the target demographic so my opinion is irrelevant. Everybody is entitled to a good whine once in a while, but I think some people who owe their success and lifestyle to their TH-cam subscribers should not, essentially, be telling the subscribers that making content for them is a burden. Again, that's just how it came across to me, and I totally agree that it is definitely a lot of hard work to maintain a successful channel and brand!
Cause beyyn got his birthday, he became for that one day of the year someone else than just a drink slave - benana sheriff. Christine is such a good gf, literally goals

Cristine^^
“Bananas in pajamas and e chasing teddy bears!” Thank you for freaking knowing that show!! I had a “banana 1” plush when I was little, but any time I mention it, people look at me like I’m crazy!! Also, Ben, happy very belated birthday. I love you both!... and Jen... but mostly y’all.
Ben is hilarious BAHAHAHA
Edit: I meant BEYYYN.
I work at a school and it’s so hard to explain to kids that the youtubers they watch are the ones who make it. I don’t want to discourage them, but when they won’t do their work because their favorite youtuber dropped out of school it’s very frustrating. I can’t explain to a 9 year old that just because their favorite youtuber dropped out of school and made it doesn’t mean that they will. And that doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t do their work. They’re literally in third grade.
pajanaparty that’s sad ... when I was young, I had as an exemple Bill Gates, Zuckerberg (sorry for the spelling), but we acknowledged that if we tried the same, we would finish working in a Macdonald for the rest of our life. I believe parents should really censure TH-cam for their children. Look before, then permit it. So maybe they can explain, and discuss about it.
Unfortunately, not all parents are willing to do that. Lots of parents are very hands-off in their approach to parenting. This kid in particular doesn't have very involved parents because of their jobs. We still have great role models for kids today (Malala, Ellen, etc.), but kids have access to lots more people that don't always put forward what's best for kids. I wish that TH-camrs would be more proactive and promote finishing high school at the very least. Many people go straight into the workforce out of high school because that's what suits them best. To be real, there's nothing wrong with that. It's when they don't talk about how they were lucky to make it (like Cristine said) and don't mention how hard it is to make it. I just wish more TH-camrs put that forward.
Also, the youtubers telling their subscribers that they dropped out of school are irresponsible and clearly too immature for the platform. Even if you do end up a "successful youtuber" why not have a good education too? I find the most interesting youtubers I watch are the ones who take an interest in learning, they have more to say 🙂 xx
I love Simply Not Logical because of serious-Christine and serious-Ben
I cannot love this particular video anymore if I tried. You both hit the nail on the head and made so many good points. A lot of TH-camrs have forgotten the value of money because it's essentially just being thrown at them at this point, with undoubtedly less stress than you would get working in either a food or retail industry (I've done both- I cry er'ry time). Cristine actually still works outside of TH-cam.
You two are just awesome.
*is it weird that I'm kinda into this*
Cristine: "Ben, this was meant to be a happy day for you. I got 20 banana life hacks... NOT DEPRESSION"
Literally me everyday
Happy birthday Ben!
You are both so passionate when speaking about this stuff and I love it. You get so fired up for others and that just shows how caring and kind you are.
I really love the real-life chats at the end of these videos--especially this one.
When I was younger, I tossed around a lot of ideas and passions I would love as a career. But as I matured, I realized they either weren't viable careers or worth the heaps of tribulations that went hand-in-hand with them. Now, at 21, I've settled on radiography, a career that really excites me and incorporates a lot of my interests/passions. It doesn't require me to go into debt to pursue it, nor does it mean it will consume my life (well, save for the two rigorous years of schooling and the first year on the job)--which means I'm open to do other things that aren't sustainable careers for me. (Such as writing, creating music videos, doing costume makeup, etc.)
Happy Birthday Ben 🍌
I love watching the reflections because you and Ben are so smart and REAL TH-camrs. It's amazing how you actually pay attention to problems unlike some people. I respect you so much for that. Thank you.
