I think when the number of videos decreases, the subscriptions decrease. I wouldn’t bother with shorts because you can’t use a lot of details in a short video. Keep up what you normally do. I do not look at anything other YT. And I watch lots of long version videos. And you can always speed through them. Do not quit. Push through, but keep long format!! Craft fairs can be VERY discouraging. I would spend your time on videos. Please Sasha don’t quit YT!!!! You are my favorite crafter on YT and I would miss you terribly. It is Christmas time which is great for crafting; don’t need much mojo. I will pray for you. Keep trying. Again do not concentrate on shorts!!
Dear Sasha, so sorry to hear of your struggles at this time. We all find ourselves in a dark place at times and it will pass. As a previous commentator has said, please dont give up on TH-cam. I had a bad experience years ago with facebook, which was very upsetting, and now I dont use any of these other platforms. You are a young Mum, with a family to cater for and its no wonder you have. "Hit a brick wall", with everything. I fully understand that and do pray you will allow yourself some time to chill out each day. Even if its only 15 minutes. Money is a necessity and I hear your distress over the figures but, you have to look after yourself as well as the children and your husband. Its a blessing that you have the possibility of working with some of the big companies and I look forward to seeing what comes from that collaboration. In the meantime, thank you for sharing with us and I will pray for The Lord's wisdom and clear direction as you work through this difficult period. Remember, 'this too shall pass'. God Bless you, Ginny
I'm with you whatever you decide, but I hope you can find a way to keep your YT channel going! I love it! I'm the one who works at Michaels, so I will recommend you to every paper crafter I come across. Hang in there, Sasha, we're all rooting for you! ❤❤
Im in my 40s and i prefer long videos ...shorts are annoying to me bc it isnt really teaching you HOW to do something with details. I recently discovered and subscribed to your channel within the last 3 months. Hang in there please!
I love all your videos and will be very sad if you stop 😢 you have always been their on my craft journey and love all the inspiration you share. Keep smiling and hopefully everything will turn out in the wash as my mum used to say 😂😂😂
I do not watch shorts or Tik Tok. I love any videos, usually no matter what the length. I watch the ones that interest me the most. Do not quit. Continue what you are doing and enjoy.
Oh Sasha … I fit your viewer profile completely! I was originally drawn into your videos by the ‘if you only have 10 minutes’ and would love to see more of these. I also loved the fact that you were not continually showing new things you had purchased and stuck to creative ideas using what beginner crafters would have in their stash. It is far too easy to be drawn into the shopping as opposed to the actual crafting - so videos showing project ideas but using different resources would help those on a tighter budget. Videos of about up to 15 minutes were perfect. Not all of us are on social media. Take care of yourself xx
Oh Sasha, (I am 65) but I have ALWAYS enjoyed your videos and STILL do! Please hang in there and do what you can. I will encourage my sisters and daughter -in-law to subscribe to your channel too. You have SO much talent. Everyone, please “POWER watch” Sasha’s videos…
I’m not into shorts! I like the time spent with you & the time you spend teaching & Sharing your ideas! Oh… I’m still under 65!😊 I hope whatever you decide to do will bring you joy & calm your mind!
Dear Sasha, I’m so sorry to hear about your issues with TH-cam. I’ve heard this from other content creators as well. I’m 64 and I don’t watch shorts. I also don’t watch videos longer than 30-40 minutes. I love learning from you and using what I learned. I hope you will continue to produce videos. So glad you’ve decided to stick with it for now. Hugs from New Jersey, USA. 💜💜💜
We need the longer videos! For people in a hurry the speed can always be adjusted for those who prefer "shorter" videos. I really appreciate what you do...
You were one of my first card makers I found (& actually part of the reason I realized my son wasn’t meeting milestones!). I love watching your videos and I’ll follow along wherever you decide to go. I am 38 and although I don’t mind a good short, I prefer nice long videos I can put on while I craft by myself. I have been in a creative funk myself 💚 I hope you find your balance soon. We love you.
I love watching your videos! I'm so sorry you're having such negative issues. I personally don't like shorts. I like watching & learning the various techniques you present in your videos. Prayers for wisdom & peace for you & your family. 💜🙏
I don’t like shorts, I don’t learn anything from watching them. I love your videos. I don’t think that they are too long. I hope everything works out for you! Thank you for all you do!
Congratulations on working with Catherine Pooler and the other design team! Obviously you are a shining presence on here so just hang on this too shall pass. We all go through rough times. You will be fine but please don’t go off to only shorts, they’re ok but tutorials are more in depth and many times needed especially for us older folks😊
Sasha I love your videos! I have just turned 35 and I'm not a fan of shorts! I love listening and watching your videos while I craft. TH-cam is tough but keep at it. Your creativity is always inspirational.
I'm so sorry to hear what you have been going through with You Tube - I personally like the length of your videos, I don't watch shorts and rarely watch ones that are over an hour. Please keep going I always love your videos.
Oh sweetheart we love your videos. I have been watching for a few years now and look forward to seeing you. Chin up honey life changes so quick. Hang in there ❤
Sasha, I really like your videos. I'm an older, retired person who now has time to have a full-time hobby and I love making cards, etc. (96 Christmas cards this year). I do not do instagram, tic tok - only TH-cam. I don't like shorts. I also don't watch many, hardly any, videos over 30 minutes. I'm sorry to hear how "down" you've been feeling. I hope you'll find a solution, and I hope you are able to stay strong and push on. Happy holidays!!
I LOVE your craft videos Sasha! You always surprise with new ideas! I prefer 10-20 minute videos and I'm 49 and only do YT. You MUST also know the whole world is SLOW and financially lean right now. Take a break. Come back when YOU feel like it. Because when you are happy your 'customers/viewers' are too! We will be here for you. Keep the faith. You are not alone in the struggle!! ❤❤❤ love from Canada 🇨🇦 🍁
I, personally, enjoy the longer videos. But, I'm one of those over 65 people. I have a suggestion for your next craft show. Maybe your daughter could open up one of the craft packs and be creating cards with it at your table, and it would encourage people to buy them for Christmas gifts. Seeing something in use is always better! And maybe she can have on display the cards she made from the kit. You could do the same if you have time in the slow moments of the craft fair! I hope you are able to make this work for you. I enjoy your videos and your crafty ideas. Wishing you the best of luck and a very Merry Christmas to you and your family!
I'm a subscriber. I'm 65 in a couple of weeks time. I watch full videos. I'm not on Instagram. I'm sure lots of us would miss you if you weren't around 🙁 I'm so sorry you are having such a tough time atm, I only hope it will not last long & you can find the joy you have lost of late. Big hug, Sasha.
I am 59 yrs old and have just recently found you. I am subscribed & I love you, your content and your style. Please don’t let this speed bump deter you from the joy you bring. ❤
Hang in there! I feel you answered your question yourself! It sounds like you don't want to quit and are pursuing crafting, so keep plugging away, give yourself some flexibility and a timeline, take every opportunity given to keep going! Best of luck! 👏
I'm so sorry, Sasha. I'm 55, and my viewing habits fluctuate according to my stress levels. I'm more likely to just watch shorts when I'm highly stressed, but I think the length of your videos is digestible, for me at least. You're my favorite card maker, and I hope you can continue and be successful. 💐💐💐
I don’t normally post but feel the need to say that you are not the only you tuber that has had this problem and the others don’t understand why either. I admire your courage to even do videos and we as your audience appreciate your talents and sharing. thank you for all you do but you do what you need to do for you and your family- we will understand whatever you choose. Have a merry Christmas and safe new year and hopefully we will see you next year
I am 67 but very young at heart and mind! I love your videos and am not so keen on shorts. Please don't give up hope, keep trying with your craft packs, they sound fab! So glad you are all ok. Whatever you have to do to keep yourself going and happy is what you have to do. I have no problem with you advertising stuff during your videos and I hope you get the chair, sounds interesting! Take care. xxx💖💖💖
Sasha, you are the one that got me obsessed with card making and learning that I could be creative too, I love what you create. Times are tough on most people right now, I understand your situation but I do hope you don't stop your regular video style, I don't learn from the shorts people are pushing. I pray things will get better❤
Sasha I love your videos. I don't consider your videos to be 'longer' Compared to other craft videos yours are short! and I love that. You give us such a lot of tips, ideas and inspiration. I have heard others saying that TH-cam is unsuscribing people and to check that your still subscribed. So please try not to be disheartened, you have so many people watching your videos that love you xx
I am so sad that you are not doing ok right now. I, & it sounds like several others, love watching your videos. They sometimes are long(er) but nothing like some others 1 & 2 hour lives. We would never ask you to stay & not be able to make ends meet. Please know you are adored & we love watching your content. Blessings & positive thoughts to you & your family.
I'm so sorry, Sasha! You are not the only TH-camr I've heard this message from...really, I think it's a problem with the algorithm, not you. Hugs from Iowa.
I’ve watched you for years and love your regular videos! I occasionally watch shorts but, if I want to learn specifics I watch the longer videos. I too have ADD and I feel your pain. I spent weeks making things for a craft fair and NO-ONE showed up because the person who made the signs put the wrong date on it. Don’t beat yourself up; you’re so creative but everyone go through dry spots. The pressure sucks the creativity out of anyone. I’m praying for you and your business.
I love your videos as they are (and yes, I’m over 65 🤣), but I like shorts too. •I’m really glad you shared this, and I understand why you need time to regroup. •It seems some other creators just adapt a short with highlight moments and music, no voiceover, and a few subtitles. •If you take the video at a higher resolution from a higher distance, near the ceiling from above, (and farther when from the front) this might work: •you might be able to edit it, first cropped to landscape version and •later edit it second, cropped to portrait version (with just the highlights) from the same footage, because you take it in high enough resolution. •If I didn’t describe it well enough, please ask a more experienced editor to describe it better, because I know this method would work with the appropriate software. •One of my favorite shorts creators, who also does longer videos, is Ardyth, maybe she has some suggestions. •Also UT (and Etsy) have made some blunders in their recent policies that are really hurting creators and the viewers. •Two I noticed are the policy that UT only rewards a creator for viewers who watch to the last second. •And the intense requirement to get lots of viewer comments. •Both those policies make the creators responsible for the personal viewing habits of thousands of viewers they don’t personally know, and it creates friction between the 3 parties, by requiring the creators to beg the viewers to adhere to the policies of the UT platform. •Hey UT, Way to make me feel trapped and uncomfortable as a viewer! Rude and unkind, while creators and viewers are neither. •I wonder if your sudden loss of viewers /subscribers might be because there was some sudden change to the policies or algo, not you at all. •I’ve learned a lot about these types of platform management blunders at Brand Creators UT channel, which covers Etsy policies and blunders. •Their videos are usually 90 minutes or more, argh! and I’ve occasionally contributed timestamps to the subject listed in the title and thumbnail, because who has 90 minutes to find it ?! •But I learned from Brand Creators is that these platforms make Many Blunders of policy without either knowing or possibly caring, what the effect will be. There just is little understanding that there are 3 players: Platform, Creators, and Viewers, and they don’t really know how to grow (their main goal) without lurching through these absurd downturns. Argh. It is a Baby Industry, under 30 years old, and they need to learn, and stop dropping bricks on everyone else’s toes as they do it. 😖 •Good luck on your journey, and I hope you will find some helpful insight from Brand Creators (I don’t use Etsy myself, I just want to understand the marketplace) especially if you watch some of their “Alarming Policy Changes” videos. •And Ardyth is a great inspiration for shorts, and a very kind person, maybe there is some help for you there too. • Also for selling your starter kits, I’ve seen other creators do a live, to sell kits, maybe you could reach out to Posh Paper Lady about how she started selling her kits ? I think your viewers are the most likely place to buy your kits. •You did the right thing, to let us know what page you’re on. We all want things to go well for you, no matter how that looks. 🙏💙✨
I'm so sorry for your continued sadness, and don't blame you. You put your heart and so much work into this channel and I completely understand why you feel this way.
Aww Sasha. I'm so sorry you are disheartened. I agree with the comment above. The less videos you do, the less you tube shares your channel. I have heard this from other you tube channels. I love what you do. You are such a lovely person and I love your videos. I don't watch shorts. I like any length videos! Also you tube does unsubscribe people all the time. I sincerely wish you all the best whatever you choose to do but I hope you continue to make your great videos❤
Hi Sasha, just keep smiling and rather count your blessings than let the TH-cam situation get you down. When I get down I think of something treasured to me each day and block out the negative thoughts. Take care😘🥰🥰
I watch shorts, but I also love the long videos too. I love your videos and I love how you teach all of us how to do new projects and I especially like the one where you showed us how to make our own glitter paste. I think that was phenomenal. I loved it, hang in there little one because some of us people do love the long videos
Sasha, I am so sorry to hear that things are hard for you at the moment. I am 62 and I always love watching your videos. they are not too long at all. I love the inspiration you give to people in the crafting community. I do hope you find a way to continue your beautiful talent. I hope all things get better for you soon. Love from Australia ❤❤
I for one love your videos! Don’t give up! Yes I’m one of the “old folks” that watch you, and I’d hate to lose your creativity and inspiration! It could be the time of year when everyone is hustling and bustling getting thru the holidays and nothing to do with any problems with you! Even though I’m retired, I have been so busy with preparations for Christmas and family birthdays happening this month that I haven’t had time to watch half the videos I enjoy watching. Your numbers couldn’t easily pick up once we get through December and people get back to their normal every day activities. Please don’t give up!❤
Oh Sasha. I'm so sorry how you are feeling. I've only been card making about five years now and there are certain people I've been following (you are one of them). Now I have so much 'stuff' and growing...I downsized about seven years ago and seem to be expanding! Do not give up!
I don’t watch shorts. Please continue with what you’ve always done. I have learned so much from you. Ultimately you have to do what is best for you. I don’t think many people make cards anymore, but I still love making them. What about putting your craft packs on Etsy?
I love your videos too. They’re usually a good length for me. I don’t like super long videos. I’m in my 70s and always interested in learning new things. Please don’t give it away altogether. I’ve always found you a breath of fresh air ❤❤
I think you tube is unsubscribing so many people. Everyone I watch has been saying to make sure we are still subscribed as so many people are saying this. I'm sorry this is happening to so many and making it so difficult. I appreciate all of your uploads. I'm 56 and love your input. Thank you for letting us know what you are going thru. Just know we love you! Audra
Well I am in that older community and for me I don’t like the shorts as well. I love the longer ones my self. That is how I learn. You do such a good job Sasha. I’m so sorry. You tube is really messing with you creators it seems. Very sad. Praying for you and wishing you the best. GOD bless you my dear. ❤
Please don’t stop making your videos! I enjoy your videos and I’m sure a lot more people do! I do not watch the shorts,I won’t even bother to watch any kind. Please keep up the fantastic job!❤❤❤
Sasha, I’m glad all of you are well. I am one of those 65 plus viewers. I love your videos. They are just the right length and the content is excellent. I don’t mind the shorts but not for card making. I will pray you are able to sell your packages that you made up and also that your viewers increase on Utube.
Hi Sasha. I am sorry for the issues you are experiencing. I am a 65 yo retiree and I love you videos and ideas. I do watch some shorts, but prefer a medium length video with fuller details. Please don't quit. I hope your craft fair this weekend has a much better attendance.
Sasha, I'm so sorry that TH-cam has been so flippin awkward? Ive heard of this happening to more than just you. I truly enjoy your videos and hope you don't give up hope. You are so beloved by your viewers. ❤ 🇨🇦 😊
Sorry to hear TH-cam is not working for you. I would agree that IG would be good and many people would see your IG shorts and then link to your longer videos. You are so creative and inspiring Sasha. Being a working mom is so difficult at times and you are just in a trough right now. Give yourself a break over Christmas, a big hug and pat on the back for what you have achieved. Take time to reflect and come back stronger in the new year with a plan for a reset of your business. Sending you love and strength and have a wonderful Christmas break. 💪🏼🤩🌈
Oh Sasha, bless your heart. So sorry to hear you are having problems with YT. You are not alone though, many people I watch have had people unsubscribed for no reason and they remind us when watching to check that we are still subscribed. Who knows what YT is playing at. Please keep to the longer videos, I personally don't watch shorts and I don't do IG or FB anymore. Breaks my heart to see you looking so sad, you are such a wonderful person and teacher, so many ideas. Love your videos. I have found that YT are not notifying me a lot when new videos are put up and maybe that's the problem too, if people aren't aware that you've uploaded a video they think there aren't any. I didn't get notified of this one, just happened to come across it and I have the bell switched on. So happy that you will be working with Catherine Pooler, a definite feather in your cap. Looking forward to your other news in the New Year too. Sweetheart, look after yourself and your family first and we will all be here when you are ready and in case we don't see you before Christmas, please have a wonderful time. Hugs and love xxxx
Your videos are awesome! I'm sorry you're having a rough time. I've recently heard of other youtubers saying the same thing, they're getting a large amount of people unsubscribing. I know I've experienced "youtube glitches" where I've been unsubscribed to certain channels that I would not have unsubscribed to on my own. Reminding subscribers to check to make sure they're subscribed has helped me to check and make sure. Glad you're not quitting, your unique techniques are always fun to watch, hang in there!
Sasha that is so sad. I feel so sorry for you. I don't like the shorts but then I'm 74 and I don't do social media. I do hope you keep going but that's something only you can decide.Sending you lots of hugs.
Hang in there Sasha, I'm not quite 65, and I love your videos. I watch shorts sometimes - they're a sampler to me and don't replace full-length videos. My preferred length is around 10 mins, purely because that's my concentration peak.
Sorry to hear about your recent struggles with TH-cam. I have heard other people complain about losing subscribers and I noticed that I wasn't getting notifications from certain TH-cam channels. Somehow I wasn't subscribed anymore but I never unsubscribed. So I've had to go back and subscribe to them again. I've also noticed that several You Tubers have been mentioning to subscribe, hit the like button, comment and share every time they post a new video as they say it really helps to grow there channel. I don't think your videos are that long. I don't mind shorts but a lot of times I can't figure out how they did something and it's kind of frustrating to me. I do believe that having your subscribers leave comments is very important to growing your channel so I always try to leave a comment. I hope some of this helps. I really enjoy your videos and you always share great ideas and make fabulous cards. Good luck!❤
Heya! Hope you hang in there and make the small adjustments you need to do. I never watch the shorts, so hope you make the longer ones 😃 Remember that goodle and youtube just had a "delete inactive accounts" run. Hopefully that is why your numbers go down - and those people were not there anyway. Just more visible. Wish you lots of luck on the craft fairs! And a happy holliday! 💜
Am 66 and love your videos. I will watch shorts but not as much as watching full videos. You are correct that retired people have more time so that may be part of it. You need to do what is best for you and your family. If you move on, you will be missed! Your videos always teach me something either new or a better way to do something. I had my first fair about a month ago and was very disheartened as I did not sell too much. I have taken a step back to re-evaluate whether I want to continue to try and sell my makes or just keep it as my personal passion. Life sends us curves as a learning. Yes it can be painful, but it is usually worth it.
Oh little love. Please don't give up darlin. Have saved many of your videos because they TEACH interesting things. I am a master artist and have many gifted abilities thanks to our Lord. But I take time for full length card videos because I am interested in what is being taught. All we creative sorts go through highs and lows darlin. I have learned that God never closes a door that He won't open a better one. Maybe He is leading you into new heights to your creativity. He has done it with me and I have always come out better than I started. Be blessed darlin. God, family and then everything else - when in this order all will work out well. Hugs & courage to you.
I'm over 65 & I follow you faithfully, please don't go. Your videos & ideas are lovely & quite easy to understand. I am from Ontario Canada & it's great that you get to come home & visit family.❤
Oh wow! Just saw that you are going to be on the Paper Rose team! That is awesome. I’m from Adelaide so Paper Rose is fairly local to me and I love their products. Well done, Sasha.
So sorry to hear about your troubles with TH-cam. I am in my 70s (from Australia) and love, love, love watching your videos. I don't watch shorts as they don't have the same teaching content or your personal touch. Hang in there Sasha and I hope and pray that everything works out for you and your family. Take care of yourself.
PLEASE CONTINUE SHARING YOURSELF AND YOUR TALENTS WITH US VIA YOU TUBE (and not just shorts) !!! I really enjoy watching your full length videos and seeing how incredibly creative you are. Yay for you being asked to work with Catherine Pooler👍 and I can’t wait to hear the other news too. I will pray for you to become well paid from your You Tube channel so you can contribute more to your family expenses while continuing your creative journey. God Bless You ❤ We Love You 🥰
I love your full videos!!! You are so down to earth and I love your techniques.please don't give up. My daughter and I love to sit down and watch your videos. I hope your next show went well for you.
Sasha just wanted to let you know I think you are amazing, I love your channel, you have taught me so many clever things, hope all goes well for you at the craft fair, may you and your family have a wonderful Christmas 💗💗💗💗💗
I do love shorts & videos under 15 minutes, like you provide. I rarely watch anything over 20 minutes. I also really appreciate that you don't play distracting music in the background! Don't be discouraged! Perhaps the decrease is a TH-cam glitch? Love your videos! Hugs 🤗
Oh Sasha, I'm so sorry that your subbies are going down. I cannot imagine anyone leaving your channel. Shorts are okay, but the longer videos are what I watch. You get more information in them. I don't want to lose you, but I know you have to make a decision that is good for you (but I really want you to stay). I'll be praying for you. Hugs my dear. ❤
So sorry for you Sasha... i like longer videos. I don’t like shorts. I love your "own" diy videos too ! I hope it will be better for you as soon as possible 😊 I send you courage 💪
Don’t give up Sasha. You’re brilliant The social media side of promoting is forever changing and it’s hard to keep on top of the changes. You can do it ! Xxx
Hugs from back home in Alberta 🇨🇦. I love your videos. They are just the right length for me. I do hope your channel subscription numbers improve and you are able to continue blessing us with your crafting talents. ❤
I love your videos! And will continue to watch when you post. I understand that TH-cam has been causing issues for several creators. You do what's best for you! But there are those of us that still want to see what you're making.
Try not to be too down on yourself it’s probably just others being busy too, I love your videos no matter the length , do what is right for you and your family as long as you still love it keep going . Love and lots of hugs xx
Life happens. Sometimes it gets busy and sometimes we need to take a break. But honestly I LOVE your channel. I have found that TH-cam isn’t always notifying me despite unclicking all and re clicking all. The best we can do to help Sasha is to like the video and comment and share if we can!
Oh Sasha, I am sending you big hugs from Australia. I wish I was over there and could go to the craft fairs, as I would buy your craft packs. Good luck for the future in the crafting industry, because you are inspirational. And I'm not over 65 lol. You do what ever you need to do to stay on TH-cam, because you would be missed!!
I love your videos and will keep watching them as and when you can get them done. I don't tend to watch shorts, but I can speed up your longer videos if I want. Please don't quit, I feel for you in this situation, take a break and come back fresh next year. Wishing you and your family a merry Christmas, x
Keep doing what you know to do….please don’t look at numbers. Just know that we enjoy whatever you do. Praying for you as you decide what works best for you and your family. Hope your spirits are lifted soon. Thanks for all you do
I like 15-20 minute videos. Shorts don't teach much. But this is about you and your channel and what you need. Your channel is one of my favorite. I haven't made cards for almost a year and hope to get back tomorrow
Dear Sasha I’m sorry to hear you’ve been dealing with this. I love your chatty, detailed videos. That’s the whole reason I subscribed to you, and I’m not over 65. I sincerely hope you can continue what you’re doing because we love you, and will continue to support you. Best wishes ❤
Please don’t stop! There are tons of reasons people stop watching, this time of the year is difficult to find time to craft with all the holiday stuff going on. I personally, HATE short videos! I LOVE the longer ones. You can learn more. Just hang in there, you have great content, and this just may be a cycle that will pick back up! Don’t give up! ❤️
Like most of the other comments, I love your content. You need to do what works for you, if there is something useful we (your supporters) can do to make a difference, let us know. We do value your ideas and output Sasha wishing you well ❤
Sasha, I'm 64 and I love your long videos. I can speed through them, then "rewind" when I need a more detailed explanation. Other presenters have also said their YT numbers have dropped as well. Holidays are very stressful take care of yourself. I will always be a subscriber of yours.
Don’t worry…do what you do. I’m not 65 yet, but do enjoy your videos. I do watch shorts but not tick tok. It doesn’t sound like shorts are worth your trouble, however. Time is a factor and i tend to watch videos that are 18-20 min. or less. I enjoy longer videos when I have time. You have a very nice on-camera presence, great ideas, and you explain things well! Thanks for what you contribute to the crafting community❣️🫶🏼😊
it's the holiday season keep your head up and fingers crossed and once the running around for Christmas ends you will get back on top. I still love you and watch all your videos love the long ones short one all of them.
Oh, Sasha, I am so sorry to hear this. Please don’t give up but a little break may do you good. I love your videos and the ideas you share. I rarely watch shorts as I don’t find them very motivating. How fantastic to be an ambassador for Catherine Pooler! This is a real testament to your skills and talents 😃
I've been watching but I just now subscribed. I'm so sorry to hear all this! You're incredible and don't deserve this :( I don't have other socials, and I watch full videos (45, not retired!) These are crafts, we need all the details! Shorts lead you to the long format, usually so that could be best of both worlds? I LOVE the longer tutorials, personally... Wishing you strength and support from Canada 🇨🇦
Sasha you do an awesome job with your videos and am so sorry you are having such a hard time. I’m sure it is nothing to do with you but technology itself. I find that I don’t even get videos from other people I used to follow and this has been going on for a while. I don’t watch shorts as don’t enjoy them. Whatever you decide I’m sure it will be the right thing for you. ❤️
I am below 65 and realised TH-cam unsubscribes me every now and then from channels. I don’t watch anything on instagram or shorts. I love old style TH-cam videos and that’s what I stick to. Not every hype needs to be followed. Probably it’s a thing of learning to be resilient and keep on doing what you’re been doing successfully for so long.
I think when the number of videos decreases, the subscriptions decrease. I wouldn’t bother with shorts because you can’t use a lot of details in a short video. Keep up what you normally do. I do not look at anything other YT. And I watch lots of long version videos. And you can always speed through them. Do not quit. Push through, but keep long format!! Craft fairs can be VERY discouraging. I would spend your time on videos. Please Sasha don’t quit YT!!!! You are my favorite crafter on YT and I would miss you terribly. It is Christmas time which is great for crafting; don’t need much mojo. I will pray for you. Keep trying. Again do not concentrate on shorts!!
Dear Sasha, so sorry to hear of your struggles at this time. We all find ourselves in a dark place at times and it will pass.
As a previous commentator has said, please dont give up on TH-cam. I had a bad experience years ago with facebook, which was very upsetting, and now I dont use any of these other platforms.
You are a young Mum, with a family to cater for and its no wonder you have. "Hit a brick wall", with everything. I fully understand that and do pray you will allow yourself some time to chill out each day. Even if its only 15 minutes. Money is a necessity and I hear your distress over the figures but, you have to look after yourself as well as the children and your husband.
Its a blessing that you have the possibility of working with some of the big companies and I look forward to seeing what comes from that collaboration.
In the meantime, thank you for sharing with us and I will pray for The Lord's wisdom and clear direction as you work through this difficult period. Remember, 'this too shall pass'.
God Bless you, Ginny
I'm with you whatever you decide, but I hope you can find a way to keep your YT channel going! I love it! I'm the one who works at Michaels, so I will recommend you to every paper crafter I come across. Hang in there, Sasha, we're all rooting for you! ❤❤
Im in my 40s and i prefer long videos ...shorts are annoying to me bc it isnt really teaching you HOW to do something with details. I recently discovered and subscribed to your channel within the last 3 months. Hang in there please!
I love all your videos and will be very sad if you stop 😢 you have always been their on my craft journey and love all the inspiration you share. Keep smiling and hopefully everything will turn out in the wash as my mum used to say 😂😂😂
We DO have to HEAR what she is saying...... if its too much for her we must recognize her feelings. NO IDEA WHY subs are gone. Darn shame!
I do not watch shorts or Tik Tok. I love any videos, usually no matter what the length. I watch the ones that interest me the most. Do not quit. Continue what you are doing and enjoy.
I love watching full videos, they aren't even that long.
Sorry to hear you're having a hard time. I hope things get better for you soon. ❤
Oh Sasha … I fit your viewer profile completely! I was originally drawn into your videos by the ‘if you only have 10 minutes’ and would love to see more of these. I also loved the fact that you were not continually showing new things you had purchased and stuck to creative ideas using what beginner crafters would have in their stash. It is far too easy to be drawn into the shopping as opposed to the actual crafting - so videos showing project ideas but using different resources would help those on a tighter budget. Videos of about up to 15 minutes were perfect. Not all of us are on social media. Take care of yourself xx
Oh Sasha, (I am 65) but I have ALWAYS enjoyed your videos and STILL do! Please hang in there and do what you can. I will encourage my sisters and daughter -in-law to subscribe to your channel too. You have SO much talent.
Everyone, please “POWER watch” Sasha’s videos…
I’m not into shorts! I like the time spent with you & the time you spend teaching & Sharing your ideas! Oh… I’m still under 65!😊 I hope whatever you decide to do will bring you joy & calm your mind!
Dear Sasha, I’m so sorry to hear about your issues with TH-cam. I’ve heard this from other content creators as well. I’m 64 and I don’t watch shorts. I also don’t watch videos longer than 30-40 minutes. I love learning from you and using what I learned. I hope you will continue to produce videos. So glad you’ve decided to stick with it for now. Hugs from New Jersey, USA. 💜💜💜
Love❤ your full video content . You are an awesome card maker. I am always going to be a subscriber.
We need the longer videos! For people in a hurry the speed can always be adjusted for those who prefer "shorter" videos. I really appreciate what you do...
You were one of my first card makers I found (& actually part of the reason I realized my son wasn’t meeting milestones!). I love watching your videos and I’ll follow along wherever you decide to go.
I am 38 and although I don’t mind a good short, I prefer nice long videos I can put on while I craft by myself. I have been in a creative funk myself 💚 I hope you find your balance soon. We love you.
I love watching your videos! I'm so sorry you're having such negative issues. I personally don't like shorts. I like watching & learning the various techniques you present in your videos. Prayers for wisdom & peace for you & your family. 💜🙏
Totally agree!! ❤
I don’t like shorts, I don’t learn anything from watching them. I love your videos. I don’t think that they are too long. I hope everything works out for you! Thank you for all you do!
Congratulations on working with Catherine Pooler and the other design team! Obviously you are a shining presence on here so just hang on this too shall pass. We all go through rough times. You will be fine but please don’t go off to only shorts, they’re ok but tutorials are more in depth and many times needed especially for us older folks😊
Sasha I love your videos! I have just turned 35 and I'm not a fan of shorts! I love listening and watching your videos while I craft. TH-cam is tough but keep at it. Your creativity is always inspirational.
I'm so sorry to hear what you have been going through with You Tube - I personally like the length of your videos, I don't watch shorts and rarely watch ones that are over an hour. Please keep going I always love your videos.
I love watching you! Please don’t go away. I’m under 65. I prefer longer videos.
Oh sweetheart we love your videos. I have been watching for a few years now and look forward to seeing you. Chin up honey life changes so quick. Hang in there ❤
Sasha, I really like your videos. I'm an older, retired person who now has time to have a full-time hobby and I love making cards, etc. (96 Christmas cards this year). I do not do instagram, tic tok - only TH-cam. I don't like shorts. I also don't watch many, hardly any, videos over 30 minutes. I'm sorry to hear how "down" you've been feeling. I hope you'll find a solution, and I hope you are able to stay strong and push on. Happy holidays!!
I LOVE your craft videos Sasha! You always surprise with new ideas!
I prefer 10-20 minute videos and I'm 49 and only do YT.
You MUST also know the whole world is SLOW and financially lean right now.
Take a break. Come back when YOU feel like it. Because when you are happy your 'customers/viewers' are too! We will be here for you. Keep the faith. You are not alone in the struggle!!
❤❤❤ love from Canada 🇨🇦 🍁
Please don’t go- I enjoy watching your TH-cam channel. I have learned so much from your channel
I, personally, enjoy the longer videos. But, I'm one of those over 65 people. I have a suggestion for your next craft show. Maybe your daughter could open up one of the craft packs and be creating cards with it at your table, and it would encourage people to buy them for Christmas gifts. Seeing something in use is always better! And maybe she can have on display the cards she made from the kit. You could do the same if you have time in the slow moments of the craft fair! I hope you are able to make this work for you. I enjoy your videos and your crafty ideas. Wishing you the best of luck and a very Merry Christmas to you and your family!
I'm a subscriber. I'm 65 in a couple of weeks time. I watch full videos. I'm not on Instagram. I'm sure lots of us would miss you if you weren't around 🙁
I'm so sorry you are having such a tough time atm, I only hope it will not last long & you can find the joy you have lost of late. Big hug, Sasha.
I am 59 yrs old and have just recently found you. I am subscribed & I love you, your content and your style. Please don’t let this speed bump deter you from the joy you bring. ❤
Hang in there! I feel you answered your question yourself! It sounds like you don't want to quit and are pursuing crafting, so keep plugging away, give yourself some flexibility and a timeline, take every opportunity given to keep going! Best of luck! 👏
I'm so sorry, Sasha.
I'm 55, and my viewing habits fluctuate according to my stress levels. I'm more likely to just watch shorts when I'm highly stressed, but I think the length of your videos is digestible, for me at least.
You're my favorite card maker, and I hope you can continue and be successful. 💐💐💐
I don’t normally post but feel the need to say that you are not the only you tuber that has had this problem and the others don’t understand why either. I admire your courage to even do videos and we as your audience appreciate your talents and sharing. thank you for all you do but you do what you need to do for you and your family- we will understand whatever you choose. Have a merry Christmas and safe new year and hopefully we will see you next year
I am 67 but very young at heart and mind! I love your videos and am not so keen on shorts. Please don't give up hope, keep trying with your craft packs, they sound fab! So glad you are all ok. Whatever you have to do to keep yourself going and happy is what you have to do. I have no problem with you advertising stuff during your videos and I hope you get the chair, sounds interesting! Take care. xxx💖💖💖
Sasha, you are the one that got me obsessed with card making and learning that I could be creative too, I love what you create. Times are tough on most people right now, I understand your situation but I do hope you don't stop your regular video style, I don't learn from the shorts people are pushing. I pray things will get better❤
Sasha I love your videos. I don't consider your videos to be 'longer' Compared to other craft videos yours are short! and I love that. You give us such a lot of tips, ideas and inspiration. I have heard others saying that TH-cam is unsuscribing people and to check that your still subscribed. So please try not to be disheartened, you have so many people watching your videos that love you xx
Plus I am not 65 until next year. I still have 18 months before I can consider retiring
I am so sad that you are not doing ok right now. I, & it sounds like several others, love watching your videos. They sometimes are long(er) but nothing like some others 1 & 2 hour lives. We would never ask you to stay & not be able to make ends meet. Please know you are adored & we love watching your content. Blessings & positive thoughts to you & your family.
I'm so sorry, Sasha! You are not the only TH-camr I've heard this message from...really, I think it's a problem with the algorithm, not you. Hugs from Iowa.
I’ve watched you for years and love your regular videos! I occasionally watch shorts but, if I want to learn specifics I watch the longer videos. I too have ADD and I feel your pain. I spent weeks making things for a craft fair and NO-ONE showed up because the person who made the signs put the wrong date on it. Don’t beat yourself up; you’re so creative but everyone go through dry spots. The pressure sucks the creativity out of anyone. I’m praying for you and your business.
I love your videos as they are (and yes, I’m over 65 🤣), but I like shorts too.
•I’m really glad you shared this, and I understand why you need time to regroup.
•It seems some other creators just adapt a short with highlight moments and music, no voiceover, and a few subtitles.
•If you take the video at a higher resolution from a higher distance, near the ceiling from above, (and farther when from the front) this might work:
•you might be able to edit it, first cropped to landscape version and
•later edit it second, cropped to portrait version (with just the highlights) from the same footage, because you take it in high enough resolution.
•If I didn’t describe it well enough, please ask a more experienced editor to describe it better, because I know this method would work with the appropriate software.
•One of my favorite shorts creators, who also does longer videos, is Ardyth, maybe she has some suggestions.
•Also UT (and Etsy) have made some blunders in their recent policies that are really hurting creators and the viewers.
•Two I noticed are the policy that UT only rewards a creator for viewers who watch to the last second.
•And the intense requirement to get lots of viewer comments.
•Both those policies make the creators responsible for the personal viewing habits of thousands of viewers they don’t personally know, and it creates friction between the 3 parties, by requiring the creators to beg the viewers to adhere to the policies of the UT platform.
•Hey UT, Way to make me feel trapped and uncomfortable as a viewer! Rude and unkind, while creators and viewers are neither.
•I wonder if your sudden loss of viewers /subscribers might be because there was some sudden change to the policies or algo, not you at all.
•I’ve learned a lot about these types of platform management blunders at Brand Creators UT channel, which covers Etsy policies and blunders.
•Their videos are usually 90 minutes or more, argh! and I’ve occasionally contributed timestamps to the subject listed in the title and thumbnail, because who has 90 minutes to find it ?!
•But I learned from Brand Creators is that these platforms make Many Blunders of policy without either knowing or possibly caring, what the effect will be. There just is little understanding that there are 3 players: Platform, Creators, and Viewers, and they don’t really know how to grow (their main goal) without lurching through these absurd downturns. Argh. It is a Baby Industry, under 30 years old, and they need to learn, and stop dropping bricks on everyone else’s toes as they do it. 😖
•Good luck on your journey, and I hope you will find some helpful insight from Brand Creators (I don’t use Etsy myself, I just want to understand the marketplace) especially if you watch some of their “Alarming Policy Changes” videos.
•And Ardyth is a great inspiration for shorts, and a very kind person, maybe there is some help for you there too.
• Also for selling your starter kits, I’ve seen other creators do a live, to sell kits, maybe you could reach out to Posh Paper Lady about how she started selling her kits ? I think your viewers are the most likely place to buy your kits.
•You did the right thing, to let us know what page you’re on. We all want things to go well for you, no matter how that looks.
🙏💙✨
I'm so sorry for your continued sadness, and don't blame you. You put your heart and so much work into this channel and I completely understand why you feel this way.
Aww Sasha. I'm so sorry you are disheartened. I agree with the comment above. The less videos you do, the less you tube shares your channel. I have heard this from other you tube channels. I love what you do. You are such a lovely person and I love your videos. I don't watch shorts. I like any length videos! Also you tube does unsubscribe people all the time. I sincerely wish you all the best whatever you choose to do but I hope you continue to make your great videos❤
Hi Sasha, just keep smiling and rather count your blessings than let the TH-cam situation get you down. When I get down I think of something treasured to me each day and block out the negative thoughts. Take care😘🥰🥰
I watch shorts, but I also love the long videos too. I love your videos and I love how you teach all of us how to do new projects and I especially like the one where you showed us how to make our own glitter paste. I think that was phenomenal. I loved it, hang in there little one because some of us people do love the long videos
Sasha, I am so sorry to hear that things are hard for you at the moment. I am 62 and I always love watching your videos. they are not too long at all. I love the inspiration you give to people in the crafting community. I do hope you find a way to continue your beautiful talent. I hope all things get better for you soon. Love from Australia ❤❤
I for one love your videos! Don’t give up! Yes I’m one of the “old folks” that watch you, and I’d hate to lose your creativity and inspiration! It could be the time of year when everyone is hustling and bustling getting thru the holidays and nothing to do with any problems with you! Even though I’m retired, I have been so busy with preparations for Christmas and family birthdays happening this month that I haven’t had time to watch half the videos I enjoy watching. Your numbers couldn’t easily pick up once we get through December and people get back to their normal every day activities. Please don’t give up!❤
Oh Sasha. I'm so sorry how you are feeling. I've only been card making about five years now and there are certain people I've been following (you are one of them). Now I have so much 'stuff' and growing...I downsized about seven years ago and seem to be expanding! Do not give up!
I don’t watch shorts. Please continue with what you’ve always done. I have learned so much from you. Ultimately you have to do what is best for you.
I don’t think many people make cards anymore, but I still love making them.
What about putting your craft packs on Etsy?
I love your videos too. They’re usually a good length for me. I don’t like super long videos. I’m in my 70s and always interested in learning new things. Please don’t give it away altogether. I’ve always found you a breath of fresh air ❤❤
I think you tube is unsubscribing so many people. Everyone I watch has been saying to make sure we are still subscribed as so many people are saying this. I'm sorry this is happening to so many and making it so difficult. I appreciate all of your uploads. I'm 56 and love your input. Thank you for letting us know what you are going thru. Just know we love you! Audra
Absolutely. A number of the creators I follow have noticed that youtube was unsubbing active accounts... people who show up to lives all the time.
Well I am in that older community and for me I don’t like the shorts as well. I love the longer ones my self. That is how I learn. You do such a good job Sasha. I’m so sorry. You tube is really messing with you creators it seems. Very sad. Praying for you and wishing you the best. GOD bless you my dear. ❤
Yes, I hear this all the time.
No, no more shorts. I enjoy your videos as they are. Ask your subs to check if they are still subscribed because You Tube just unsubscribes you.
Love your craft packs. I’ll tune in more often. Stay chipper. You do a great job. ❤
Please don’t stop making your videos! I enjoy your videos and I’m sure a lot more people do! I do not watch the shorts,I won’t even bother to watch any kind. Please keep up the fantastic job!❤❤❤
Sasha, I’m glad all of you are well. I am one of those 65 plus viewers. I love your videos. They are just the right length and the content is excellent. I don’t mind the shorts but not for card making. I will pray you are able to sell your packages that you made up and also that your viewers increase on Utube.
DONT GIVE UP I love your videos. I watch you from New Zealand. I know it’s hard, one of the reasons I never went down that path. But please keep going
Your videos are brilliant. I don't like shorts but will watch. Your content is inspiring.
Hi Sasha. I am sorry for the issues you are experiencing. I am a 65 yo retiree and I love you videos and ideas. I do watch some shorts, but prefer a medium length video with fuller details. Please don't quit. I hope your craft fair this weekend has a much better attendance.
Sasha, I'm so sorry that TH-cam has been so flippin awkward? Ive heard of this happening to more than just you. I truly enjoy your videos and hope you don't give up hope. You are so beloved by your viewers. ❤ 🇨🇦 😊
Please dont quit. Love watching your videos. Your very creative and I get alot from watching you. Please hang in there.
Sorry to hear TH-cam is not working for you. I would agree that IG would be good and many people would see your IG shorts and then link to your longer videos. You are so creative and inspiring Sasha. Being a working mom is so difficult at times and you are just in a trough right now. Give yourself a break over Christmas, a big hug and pat on the back for what you have achieved. Take time to reflect and come back stronger in the new year with a plan for a reset of your business. Sending you love and strength and have a wonderful Christmas break. 💪🏼🤩🌈
Oh Sasha, bless your heart. So sorry to hear you are having problems with YT. You are not alone though, many people I watch have had people unsubscribed for no reason and they remind us when watching to check that we are still subscribed. Who knows what YT is playing at. Please keep to the longer videos, I personally don't watch shorts and I don't do IG or FB anymore. Breaks my heart to see you looking so sad, you are such a wonderful person and teacher, so many ideas. Love your videos. I have found that YT are not notifying me a lot when new videos are put up and maybe that's the problem too, if people aren't aware that you've uploaded a video they think there aren't any. I didn't get notified of this one, just happened to come across it and I have the bell switched on. So happy that you will be working with Catherine Pooler, a definite feather in your cap. Looking forward to your other news in the New Year too. Sweetheart, look after yourself and your family first and we will all be here when you are ready and in case we don't see you before Christmas, please have a wonderful time. Hugs and love xxxx
Please don't quit. You are truly one of my favs
Please do not quit. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS.
Don't leave. I adore you 💖🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
I'm retired 64. But I love anything you create 💞💞
Your videos are awesome! I'm sorry you're having a rough time. I've recently heard of other youtubers saying the same thing, they're getting a large amount of people unsubscribing. I know I've experienced "youtube glitches" where I've been unsubscribed to certain channels that I would not have unsubscribed to on my own. Reminding subscribers to check to make sure they're subscribed has helped me to check and make sure. Glad you're not quitting, your unique techniques are always fun to watch, hang in there!
Sasha that is so sad. I feel so sorry for you. I don't like the shorts but then I'm 74 and I don't do social media. I do hope you keep going but that's something only you can decide.Sending you lots of hugs.
Hang in there Sasha, I'm not quite 65, and I love your videos. I watch shorts sometimes - they're a sampler to me and don't replace full-length videos. My preferred length is around 10 mins, purely because that's my concentration peak.
I’m 60, I work and still have time to enjoy your long videos- prefer them to shorts. I love your videos ❤
Sorry to hear about your recent struggles with TH-cam. I have heard other people complain about losing subscribers and I noticed that I wasn't getting notifications from certain TH-cam channels. Somehow I wasn't subscribed anymore but I never unsubscribed. So I've had to go back and subscribe to them again.
I've also noticed that several You Tubers have been mentioning to subscribe, hit the like button, comment and share every time they post a new video as they say it really helps to grow there channel.
I don't think your videos are that long. I don't mind shorts but a lot of times I can't figure out how they did something and it's kind of frustrating to me.
I do believe that having your subscribers leave comments is very important to growing your channel so I always try to leave a comment.
I hope some of this helps.
I really enjoy your videos and you always share great ideas and make fabulous cards.
Good luck!❤
Heya! Hope you hang in there and make the small adjustments you need to do. I never watch the shorts, so hope you make the longer ones 😃
Remember that goodle and youtube just had a "delete inactive accounts" run. Hopefully that is why your numbers go down - and those people were not there anyway. Just more visible.
Wish you lots of luck on the craft fairs! And a happy holliday! 💜
Am 66 and love your videos. I will watch shorts but not as much as watching full videos. You are correct that retired people have more time so that may be part of it. You need to do what is best for you and your family. If you move on, you will be missed! Your videos always teach me something either new or a better way to do something. I had my first fair about a month ago and was very disheartened as I did not sell too much. I have taken a step back to re-evaluate whether I want to continue to try and sell my makes or just keep it as my personal passion. Life sends us curves as a learning. Yes it can be painful, but it is usually worth it.
Oh little love. Please don't give up darlin. Have saved many of your videos because they TEACH interesting things. I am a master artist and have many gifted abilities thanks to our Lord. But I take time for full length card videos because I am interested in what is being taught. All we creative sorts go through highs and lows darlin. I have learned that God never closes a door that He won't open a better one. Maybe He is leading you into new heights to your creativity. He has done it with me and I have always come out better than I started. Be blessed darlin. God, family and then everything else - when in this order all will work out well. Hugs & courage to you.
Please don’t quit TH-cam or move to shorts. I love your videos! ❤
I'm over 65 & I follow you faithfully, please don't go. Your videos & ideas are lovely & quite easy to understand. I am from Ontario Canada & it's great that you get to come home & visit family.❤
Oh wow! Just saw that you are going to be on the Paper Rose team! That is awesome. I’m from Adelaide so Paper Rose is fairly local to me and I love their products. Well done, Sasha.
I’m 61 and I enjoy watching full length because they tend to be more informative and easier for me to follow.
So sorry to hear about your troubles with TH-cam. I am in my 70s (from Australia) and love, love, love watching your videos. I don't watch shorts as they don't have the same teaching content or your personal touch. Hang in there Sasha and I hope and pray that everything works out for you and your family. Take care of yourself.
PLEASE CONTINUE SHARING YOURSELF AND YOUR TALENTS WITH US VIA YOU TUBE (and not just shorts) !!! I really enjoy watching your full length videos and seeing how incredibly creative you are. Yay for you being asked to work with Catherine Pooler👍 and I can’t wait to hear the other news too. I will pray for you to become well paid from your You Tube channel so you can contribute more to your family expenses while continuing your creative journey. God Bless You ❤ We Love You 🥰
I love your full videos!!! You are so down to earth and I love your techniques.please don't give up. My daughter and I love to sit down and watch your videos. I hope your next show went well for you.
I love longer videos with you, please don’t stop the longer videos! 💖🙏💖
Sasha just wanted to let you know I think you are amazing, I love your channel, you have taught me so many clever things, hope all goes well for you at the craft fair, may you and your family have a wonderful Christmas 💗💗💗💗💗
I do love shorts & videos under 15 minutes, like you provide. I rarely watch anything over 20 minutes.
I also really appreciate that you don't play distracting music in the background!
Don't be discouraged! Perhaps the decrease is a TH-cam glitch?
Love your videos!
Hugs 🤗
I’m just glad to hear you are doing well. I miss the videos when you don’t post & am glad you are not quitting!
I love your videos! I've learned a lot from watching them. I hope you don't stop teaching us,please stay.❤😊
Oh Sasha, I'm so sorry that your subbies are going down. I cannot imagine anyone leaving your channel. Shorts are okay, but the longer videos are what I watch. You get more information in them. I don't want to lose you, but I know you have to make a decision that is good for you (but I really want you to stay). I'll be praying for you. Hugs my dear. ❤
I love your videos Sasha ! I appreciate all the effort you go to to share your crafting with us . Never apologise for being who you are !
So sorry for you Sasha... i like longer videos. I don’t like shorts. I love your "own" diy videos too ! I hope it will be better for you as soon as possible 😊 I send you courage 💪
Don’t give up Sasha. You’re brilliant The social media side of promoting is forever changing and it’s hard to keep on top of the changes. You can do it ! Xxx
Hugs from back home in Alberta 🇨🇦. I love your videos. They are just the right length for me. I do hope your channel subscription numbers improve and you are able to continue blessing us with your crafting talents. ❤
I love your videos! And will continue to watch when you post. I understand that TH-cam has been causing issues for several creators. You do what's best for you! But there are those of us that still want to see what you're making.
Try not to be too down on yourself it’s probably just others being busy too, I love your videos no matter the length , do what is right for you and your family as long as you still love it keep going . Love and lots of hugs xx
I’m so sorry for the difficulties. I like your videos. You are talented.
Life happens. Sometimes it gets busy and sometimes we need to take a break. But honestly I LOVE your channel. I have found that TH-cam isn’t always notifying me despite unclicking all and re clicking all.
The best we can do to help Sasha is to like the video and comment and share if we can!
Oh Sasha, I am sending you big hugs from Australia. I wish I was over there and could go to the craft fairs, as I would buy your craft packs. Good luck for the future in the crafting industry, because you are inspirational. And I'm not over 65 lol. You do what ever you need to do to stay on TH-cam, because you would be missed!!
So sorry this is so difficult right now. I'm grateful for what you share and hope things turn around for you very soon!
I love your videos and will keep watching them as and when you can get them done. I don't tend to watch shorts, but I can speed up your longer videos if I want. Please don't quit, I feel for you in this situation, take a break and come back fresh next year.
Wishing you and your family a merry Christmas, x
Keep doing what you know to do….please don’t look at numbers. Just know that we enjoy whatever you do. Praying for you as you decide what works best for you and your family. Hope your spirits are lifted soon. Thanks for all you do
I like 15-20 minute videos. Shorts don't teach much. But this is about you and your channel and what you need. Your channel is one of my favorite. I haven't made cards for almost a year and hope to get back tomorrow
Dear Sasha I’m sorry to hear you’ve been dealing with this. I love your chatty, detailed videos. That’s the whole reason I subscribed to you, and I’m not over 65. I sincerely hope you can continue what you’re doing because we love you, and will continue to support you. Best wishes ❤
Please don’t stop! There are tons of reasons people stop watching, this time of the year is difficult to find time to craft with all the holiday stuff going on.
I personally, HATE short videos! I LOVE the longer ones. You can learn more. Just hang in there, you have great content, and this just may be a cycle that will pick back up! Don’t give up! ❤️
Like most of the other comments, I love your content. You need to do what works for you, if there is something useful we (your supporters) can do to make a difference, let us know. We do value your ideas and output Sasha wishing you well ❤
Sasha, I'm 64 and I love your long videos. I can speed through them, then "rewind" when I need a more detailed explanation. Other presenters have also said their YT numbers have dropped as well. Holidays are very stressful take care of yourself. I will always be a subscriber of yours.
Don’t worry…do what you do. I’m not 65 yet, but do enjoy your videos. I do watch shorts but not tick tok. It doesn’t sound like shorts are worth your trouble, however. Time is a factor and i tend to watch videos that are 18-20 min. or less. I enjoy longer videos when I have time. You have a very nice on-camera presence, great ideas, and you explain things well! Thanks for what you contribute to the crafting community❣️🫶🏼😊
it's the holiday season keep your head up and fingers crossed and once the running around for Christmas ends you will get back on top. I still love you and watch all your videos love the long ones short one all of them.
Oh, Sasha, I am so sorry to hear this. Please don’t give up but a little break may do you good. I love your videos and the ideas you share. I rarely watch shorts as I don’t find them very motivating.
How fantastic to be an ambassador for Catherine Pooler! This is a real testament to your skills and talents 😃
I've been watching but I just now subscribed. I'm so sorry to hear all this! You're incredible and don't deserve this :( I don't have other socials, and I watch full videos (45, not retired!) These are crafts, we need all the details! Shorts lead you to the long format, usually so that could be best of both worlds? I LOVE the longer tutorials, personally... Wishing you strength and support from Canada 🇨🇦
Sasha you do an awesome job with your videos and am so sorry you are having such a hard time. I’m sure it is nothing to do with you but technology itself. I find that I don’t even get videos from other people I used to follow and this has been going on for a while. I don’t watch shorts as don’t enjoy them. Whatever you decide I’m sure it will be the right thing for you. ❤️
I love watching full videos, being in the age group mentioned. Good luck with your future, keep up the good work xx
I am below 65 and realised TH-cam unsubscribes me every now and then from channels.
I don’t watch anything on instagram or shorts. I love old style TH-cam videos and that’s what I stick to.
Not every hype needs to be followed.
Probably it’s a thing of learning to be resilient and keep on doing what you’re been doing successfully for so long.
