Tronderose I'd hate to see why you think it isnt. Whether you're job is to obtain/keep a readership, or keep and maintain viewers, throwing in the idea that the reason you keep a relationship, or put with a person even more than you should sanely, to keep a job where the main reason you have said job is because of the relationship isn't really illogical. We all gotta eat
Why do you constantly post the same shit on every video? I remember seeing a similar comment from you a while back on another MrRepzion video. Clearly you're still a fan, otherwise you wouldn't invest so much time shit posting on all his videos.
Alien Yeah, you clearly live in exaggeration land. Let me clarify (I can't believe any clarification is needed) my comment here is clearly a compliment.
I agree with you. Unless you're Ethan and Hila and you've been married for so long and you had a relationship before your fame, yeah. I mean even they keep their relationship private and people mistake them for siblings all the time, that's doing it right. I think that's fine. But if you're making your relationship your civil duty, you're a damn fool.
Yeah, Ethan and Hila are both comedians (mostly Ethan but hila still to) so they have a reason to be together. They barely show affection too they are practically just two comedians working together itsmawesome.
Its so entertaining to read Lainey's twitter, but I agree that they should keep it private. Especially because they have kids... its so fucking stupid. I love watching youtube couples like Simon and Martina, their relationship is so perfect, but if they had some problems, it wouldn't be good to involve their viewers. I think its okay to talk about private shit if they already went through the problem, tried fixing it, and later in time they shared what they went through. Lainey and Onision seem like they live tweet it all...
Well, it was stated that Onision would do anything to deliver some drama to the audience. Never watched him myself, but from what I get out of gossip, I can't help but think of Charles and Diana. Additionally I wonder: When you present yourself to your audience as a couple and gain fans and followers as a couple -- would the couple/audience relationship somehow resempbe the parents/children-relationship (at least when it comes to problems)?
I imagine the audience would be like the kids if they join when the couple are together. and then the parents break up and the kids get a good look at the dark secrets hidden in the closet
I know a handful of couples who co-run their TH-cam channels. Simon & Martina, Rachel & Jun, I think Shaycarl and his wife are still together? I used to be a fan of Charles Trippy back when he was with Alli Speed, but that went down hill really fast.
Well then, I guess *I'm* the unobservant one ;-) _Very_ fond of jokes and aware that sarcasm etc is often not being picked up online due to the limitations of plain text... Also admit I haven't seen many of his recent vids.
Adorable TH-cam couples that haven't broken up : Armored Skeptic and Shoe0nHead TJ and Bananas Repzion and his hand Pewdiepie and his Gf, apparently. *Steve Shives* EDIT: This didn't age well.
I agree with you totally, Felix and Marzia have survived for so long (kuddos to them) exactly because they keep their ACTUAL relationship private and just make videos together for fun. But I wanted to note that it's not just about youtube, to me publicazing your relationship even on facebook is toxic. I know so many people who hae been dating for a month and every post is about how in love they are and they keep spamming and spamming until they break up and then it's not FANS that start fighting it's actual people they know in real life which is even more shitty. I have a serious relationship which has no trace on the internet almost exactly because I don't see why people need to know about it, its between me and the other person and thats that.
It is extremely unhealthy. Because as fans see a cute couple they hope things like "omg i hope they get married", "I hope we can see their wedding", "I hope they have babies" This gives fans an expectation and constantly making videos and publicizing about it may will build that up more and more. which will make the eventual break up a bigger deal.
I used to publicize my relationship problems when I was MUCH younger. it caused nothing but more problems and let the wrong people know our problems. after what my ex's friends said about me on his post and what my friends and family said about him on my posts, there was too much animosity and hate to ever work things out. I'm now 24 and keep everything to myself. I have too much respect for my significant other and for myself to broadcast our relationship. I'm able to be mad at him for 5 minutes without running to social media to "humiliate' him. it's weird to me that a 30-soemthing year old can't do the same with their significant other especially since there are kids involved.
he's always been attractive. now that the sellouts (Dan, onision, phil, joey, mainstream youtubers) are being weeded out for what they are, you through your own bad eyes are starting to see the real attractive. shiny startles the attention but mr rep has been real forever
thegayestgoth well i just think that rep is looking alot more mature now rather than how young he looked in his older videos , i'm not saying he wasn't attractive before
I'm personally totally with couples who vlog their travels and other fun things together; but they should also keep their personal issues and even sexual desires off camera. I feel like this actually helps a couple both be a social media couple, and also being a private couple.
Also on the topic of Onision (if you have touched on this rep I apologize) but the hypocrisy is rampant with him. Onision: "I will tell you about my personal life my family my past and my relationship. And also I'll play it up for views" (Audience shows concern and starts to come to their own conclusions) Onision: "you people are sick you fucking stalkers stop going into my private life that I definitely never encouraged you to dig in to. Now I'm going to flip you off and lie after I started the issue myself"
Lmfao bro you was right. But PLEASE for all future references, can ya PLEASE try to 'predict' something not so shitty. Maybe try something like "onionboi is gonna die in a fiery explosion with no innocent people harmed and all his children and animals ended up with very loving families!" I'm ready for that prediction to come true!
I remember watching Shane Dawson and then his new girlfriend Lisa Shwartz a long time ago. They didn't publicize their mutual breakup until way after it happened, but fans were speculating for a while. I stopped watching Shane but continued watching Lisa when she posted a video explaining the breakup; I barely even remember it. She says they're still really good friends but I don't watch her too often anymore. I think they handled it well enough I guess Idk
That was a bit of a different situation of Shane finally coming out bisexual and so Lisa wanted to be a good friend and let him experiment with guys. They are definitely still friends though.
Which benefits the networks yes, but in many cases affects the dating relationships in negative ways when they don't know how to keeps things private that should be private between the two parties.
+MrRepzion They're put together for the drama. If they keep it private there's no drama. It's not, in many cases a real relationship, so it doesn't matter if it effects the relationship, it's fake
Hey repzion I know you like streaming so here is a pretty difficult puzzle/TPS game store.steampowered.com/app/530890/ (sorry for this being completely off topic)
Chasing thee arch heretic and his planet killer towards the Eye of Terror is the greatest test I have ever faced, but my soul is armoured in faith. Thee Imperial Creed guides me, banishing all doubt or regret. Thee Emperor stands with us and I have felt the purity of His righteousness. I have witnessed His glory burn away the darkness. I have seen the Imperium's indomitable ferocity unleashed upon its countless enemies. I saw courage and honour displayed in the Emperor's name. I saw thee unwavering loyalty and righteousness that He inspired. No fortress could withstand thee Emperor's wrath. No fury could overcome His protection. The Emperor's light cleanses even the darkest corruption, sunders even the strongest curse. His glory brings salvation to those who embrace His ideals. Even the fallen are offered a chance of redemption in the Emperor's service... through death. Sacrifice, duty, honour... these are what the Emperor requires of us. Amen. *lifts head from prayer*
It's not being public with it that is toxic, it's making it a part of your profession. There is a reason relationships in the workplace are frowned upon. I don't see why one should necessarily keep it private, as long as it's kept separate from their profession.
Mathias and Amanda Faye is a good example of a public relationship going well. People should look to them as an ideal model for a public relationship on youtube.
I'm most concerned about onision's child when he grows up and sees all of this ridiculous shit that his mother and father post online about their private life
I agree with most of what you're saying in this video, but I have seen a few people who talk about their lives and families on their channels and are still happily together after several years of vlogging (Cory Williams is the best example that immediately comes to mind). I think that, ultimately, the ones who manage to make things work are the ones who know what is okay to talk about over social media and what is better left private. Naturally, it also helps when the relationship isn't the primary focus of the poster's videos/posts. Granted, things change, but that's okay, and I agree that just because a person is prominent on social media doesn't mean that the audience has to know every detail (again, Cory Williams is a good example that comes to mind). As is true in all relationships, couples who are able to balance their private and personal lives and work things out between each other are usually the best off.
Personally, this video hits kind of close to home with me. I met my S.O. online in a chatroom, and we've been living together happily for several years now. The chatroom may not be /youtube/, but you definitely see this kind of publicized relationship on there too. Since he's a moderator on the site, it's hard for people to NOT know that we're in a relationship, so I can kind of understand how maybe it seems easier to just make the relationship public, but you can do so without airing your dirty laundry. Sometimes we do talk about things in chat instead of in person, but it's never more serious than "Weren't we going to the store?". I think that relationships that either start or are partially online get unhealthy when you start seeking validation from the community you're part of or the audience that follows you. It creates this third-wheel dynamic where it's not just you and your partner anymore; it's you, your partner, and your audience. It also leaves the couple feeling obligated to explain every post/video made to their audience as though they are ALSO part of that relationship. To top it off, it gives the audience a sense of inclusion in something that they're really not part of or have any control over, and that's just not healthy either. I guess what I'm getting at is that I don't entirely agree that relationships put out in public are bad... it's how that relationship is put out there, and how much emphasis is put on the relationship that causes the strain. If you keep it mostly separate, and it's just public knowledge that you're dating, there won't/shouldn't be a problem.
I'm so glad you talked about youtubers feeling like they owe something to their audiences. I think this is a more accurate explanation as to why relationships are shared so often. I'm sure it's about money for some. however, the bigger issue is that social media has made viewers feel like they are best friends with these online personalities and that if something happens in their lives that they don't share, then they are somehow breaking the viewers' trust or lying to them. the youtubers feel like they have to say something because if not, they'll disappoint their audience. to me, this is a bunch of crap! celebrities don't owe anything to their audience except for their craft! that's it! I'm 30 and as a kid growing up in the '90s all I knew about my favorite celebs were what they may have said on TRL or in Tiger Beat Magazine. and yet somehow, me and a gazillion other people survived without knowing what Justin Timberlake had for lunch. it's a crazy world that we've made for ourselves!
I remember hearing somewhere that divulging information about a relationship you have on social media often results in shorter lasting relationships compared to those who keep the relationship more private.
I strongly agree with you on this one, Daniel. I think that "public relationships" type people end up usually breaking up because both behaviors tend to be committed by the same type of person: the type of person who is superficial and feels the need to share their relationship and get approval in order to feel good about themselves tends to also be too superficial to hold long-term relationships with most people
Bless this. He made a video arguing with her about her gender identity and instead of talking in the same room, Lainey did nothing but comment on the stream and they argued that way. their relationship is so fucking dysfunctional that I can't wrap my brain around it.
I do agree with you, really. And, in the end you do summarize perfectly well why some people would do that."it's my Goddamn channel and I'll talk about whatever the fuck I wanna talk about." Some do it for views, of course, but there has to be the obligatory 'not all' thingy put in there. Perhaps it has to do with the feeling you get when you're so happy something happened (the start of a relationship, for example) that you want to shout it from the rooftops because you just can't keep it in (hmm... I'm sure I had a fart joke for that... somewhere...) . Then, when it comes to an end, some feel the need to just...rub salt into the wound, I suppose? It is not healthy, and it certainly isn't good if there are children involved as they inevitably get sucked into something they should not be put through...
3:35 I agree with everything you said, but I wouldn't say everyone likes "break-up" videos but when a couple are both youtubers and both film/live together, I think it would be kinda weird to not address a divorce or break up at all. Especially if they make videos together often like BFvsGF...I mean people would eventually start asking "where's so & so?"
I have also noticed that trend too, couples that publicize their relationship so much on TH-cam most of the time seem to end, especially vlogging couples.
I often see a trend with couples-not just on youtube-but on social media in general where at the beginning of a relationship they will post shit like photos and statuses and like each other's shit and all sorts of cutsie crap all the damn time. I've been guilty of it myself when I first got with my fiance. But the natural course of things is that over time, you don't feel the need to share as much crap online. The posts about each other, the pictures, should (imo) gradually decrease in frequency, preferably to none but that's being unrealistic for most people. This doesn't mean you love your partner less, in fact it means the opposite. You're so secure in your relationship you don't need to post things to gain views, likes and approval from the general public. And a couple who communicates so much through social media isn't really communicating well enough in real life and the more they share, the more insecure they are in the relationship. Thus there comes the inevitable break up. Seriously, can anyone else comment on this trend? I've seen it so often within my own Facebook. xxx
I have to agree with you. I saw it happen with Shane Dawson and Lisa. You couldn't go to one of their break-up videos without someone in the comments bashing the other and claiming that they did horrible shit to each other. Despite the fact that they both agreed to break-up and be friends.
There was a study about the correlation between 'facebook official' and likelihood of breaking up. Google it if you're interested in reading. This can also relates to other social media as well as youtube.
I believe the best kind of TH-cam 'couple' (or just a TH-camr whose boyfriend is in her videos) is Simply Nailogical. Her boyfriend, Ben, is in her videos, but they do not publicize their relationship. There are some videos where she puts a focus on him (such as the video where she put him in drag makeup) or has him test out unusual nail products, etc, etc. They don't fight over social media, they don't show any visible toxicity, they're a funny pair who show up together or mentions the other.
My favorite TH-cam channel JustKiddingNews consists of people in their late 20's, early 30's who are very public about their relationships. Shit they have a side channel that answers relationship/sexual questions and they draw from their experiences to help others. Personally, I believe it all boils down to the individuals maturity.
I really want that sleeping Pikachu plush in the back. Also I agree with your viewpoints. Normally I just ignore "break up" videos or Twitter drama because I personally don't like seeing them.
I agree. However if they started on TH-cam as a unit on a collab channel and their following is exclusive to them both rather than individually it's important in a way to let their followers know what the deal is if they aren't making videos together anymore, such as PrankVsPrank. It's best to settle it simply in a video saying "we aren't together anymore so no one needs to constantly ask what's going on or feel in the dark about our channel, this channel will be inactive or we will be posting videos individually." It clears things up, let's people know how the content will continue, etc. However I agree if they both post on their own channels about it, it's kind of awkward, an excuse for views when they both could've just let it fade into existence that they weren't together. I think people would get it eventually if they stopped talking to each other/making videos together so it's not necessary to make a statement unless it has to do with them working together directly on TH-cam. Personally I think it should be private as well but if they work together in a singular channel, it's kind to let their audience know what direction their content will be going in considering they are subscribed, etc. but that's just personally what I think.
Agree with you on all points, Repzion. I was disgusted when I saw those videos by Psychosoprano and Joshuadtv announcing their divorce. Do TH-camrs like them (or any other relationship TH-camrs) recognize how destructive their videos are? They portray their relationship as perfect and then when they divorce/breakup, their followers are heartbroken. I saw at least 5 videos of young girls crying over their divorce. Even Psychosoprano said she and Joshuadtv fought constantly, but didn't show that because it would damage their "perfect" relationship. Now that they're getting divorced, their young followers think marriage & relationships are all doomed to fail. If their "perfect" relationship couldn't survive, then what would give them hope true love really exists? These relationship TH-camrs only skew young children's minds of what "true" love is supposed to look like. I don't have a problem with these relationship TH-camrs. I just like how fake they are. DON'T just show the good times. Show them what a REAL relationship is supposed to look like.
Relationship drama and breakup videos remind me of the channel KidBehindACamera where it consists of Pickleboy and Bridgette West. There's been a lot of videos like that of them after Angry Grandpa passed away.
I also think it's a good thing some people publicise their relationships, without a bit of transparency here and there you wouldn't really get a good picture of what's normal and what's not (gauging what is/isn't by the responses of people to their relationship as well as the feelings of one of the individuals)
I think you nailed it. If you live in public, then like or not, you break up in public, and there is a lot of public speculation with no basis in reality.
Love your smile! And yes, I agree. Keep your private affairs off the internet. People must have pretty low esteem if they need cheerleader trolls cheering or tearing them on.
The shaytards are a couple with kids and they have a great relationship but they don't post arguments or really personal stuff. They do share their relationship on the Internet but they know where to draw the line.
I don't do Twitter, so I can't remark about any interactions there, but I have a positive example of a good TH-cam couple: BearingXSugarTits. He does his thing, she does her thing, and they will often collaborate to make videos together. We know they're a couple, but that's really about it, so if they were to break up I doubt it'd affect either channel. They make for a really good example of a TH-cam couple that others can learn from, IMHO.
Interesting perspective, Dan. I enjoyed listening to your thoughts on this topic, its refreshing to see videos of guys like you being genuine and humble about dating, privacy and personal image. Just to add, I feel sharing so much personal information about one's dating life tends to be more of an inflation of their ego, like "I''m so cool look at how awesome my bf/gf/life is" and such, which is the vibe I've gotten from Onision (now he's laying everything on the table eh?). Great video, peace and love be with you my friend.
I think you're right about keeping your relationship a private , I observe on Facebook who I have or used to have ppl who posted so much their relationships that when ever there was a problem they'll slash it out and of course ppl want to either break them up, hurt them with the info their getting from the couples Facebook or any social media. I feel that when u post too much about your relationship ppl either want to break u up or know dirty secrets. Btw am a fan of your channel and both u and your dogs are cute :)
I know twin flame couples who publicize their relationships on youtube and their relationships are way too strong to be broken up over nonsense, and if they bring some of their issues to the table it's because they want to show others how to properly DEAL with them-not-for the purpose of creating drama and getting more views! If anything, they get the least views among the typically known youtube couple.
I'll be honest, I eat up the TH-cam drama, but sometimes I like to think from both perspectives and see what could be done better (especially regarding relationship stuff)
from my understanding, onion boy has been doing these TMI videos literally anything about him for so many years, right? i think i heard him say on one of his videos its "therapeutic" for him to always just share everything. his thoughts and feelings, for the world to see and hear via internet. i guess for me, onion boy just treat every audience his personal close friend, making his private lives not private. while its healing to share bottled up feelings...but for the whole world to see? i guess its his way of validation of feeling "heard" or "listened" to. statistically, it makes money anyway. onion boy is just that weird kid who cant shut up about everything even in his adult life. had a rough life and found youtube. then proceeds to treat it like a best friend and therapist. figured out to make his whole life an entertainment for his audiences since it sell anyways and while its "healing" for him at the same time. hes stuck with this kind of lifestyle for so many years and this became his normal way of living. i can see why and understand this perspective but its really depressing indeed. i cant do anything but stay away from his content.
i so agree with this. people who post their relationship all over Facebook. post everything. I had one friend, she would constantly check her bf's FB. they broke up because she thought he was talking to some other girl and they had a big fight in a comment section on a FB post.. broke up
I agree, but I do think that breakup videos can be necessary because they want to update their fans on the situation, but no matter how well they handle it, the fans will always blow it out of proportion and jump to conclusions and make it far worse than it needs to be
I agree, the title of the video says it all really, people being too public with their relationship is really setting a rather bad culture, online and offline. Good video.
I guess if the person just needs to vent about his/her feelings without going into the details (i.e. "I'm sad and this sucks" vs. "we broke up because 'A, B, C' and he/she did 'blah blah blah' to me"), then it might be okay, but I still wouldn't give a shit.
I agree, I mean if it's someone who has their boyfriend/girlfriend appear like as a guest or friend and family I mean it's cool, though I don't think anyone can argue against the fact that it's a lot safer to just keep loved ones off the camera completely or at least 90% of the time. But yeah it's definitely unhealthy when you go to the extent that people like Onision and Trisha Paytas have gone to. I've never been interested in or supported that kind of behavior....
Personal stuff within relationships or anything else for that matter should never be broadcast over the internet, I hate when people do that, Its kinda inappropriate, a relationship is a personal thing and should be on the internet period.
I think everyone should keep their relationship business in their relationship. These days too many people post too many thoughts on facebook/twitter/etc. When I have issues with my fiance we take space and work it out later, we don't involve other people in our arguments, we don't involve other people in our disagreements. There is no reason to publicize your relationships.
When you utilize your relationship to lure in the views, your relationship becomes your job.
Relationships are like jobs except for men instead of being paid at this job you have to pay for the job.
If that's your experience then you've been in very wrong relationships
Fran Seen you dont 'lure in views'. you lure in viewers.
Tronderose I'd hate to see why you think it isnt. Whether you're job is to obtain/keep a readership, or keep and maintain viewers, throwing in the idea that the reason you keep a relationship, or put with a person even more than you should sanely, to keep a job where the main reason you have said job is because of the relationship isn't really illogical. We all gotta eat
I'm not even saying its a good idea to put yourself in that position, I'm just saying it can happen
Reminded me of the old rep. More level-headed. Not over the top. No forced edge. Good stuff.
Not a fan of over the top?
Why do you constantly post the same shit on every video? I remember seeing a similar comment from you a while back on another MrRepzion video. Clearly you're still a fan, otherwise you wouldn't invest so much time shit posting on all his videos.

You're above gimmicks.

I mean even they keep their relationship private and people mistake them for siblings all the time, that's doing it right. I think that's fine. But if you're making your relationship your civil duty, you're a damn fool.
Yeah, Ethan and Hila are both comedians (mostly Ethan but hila still to) so they have a reason to be together. They barely show affection too they are practically just two comedians working together itsmawesome.
I use to hate you and be a onision fan now ive switched XD
We welcome you to the dark side :)
Chi Vanity same

He has cleaning supplies in his room...I said in the last video to clean your room if you are being held captive #FREEMrRepzion
Do you think he could ask his "captors" for carpet cleaning stuff? Ha!
Dude its called a joke.
meh I guess I am the tard
Yup.
Well then, I guess *I'm* the unobservant one ;-)
_Very_ fond of jokes and aware that sarcasm etc is often not being picked up online due to the limitations of plain text...
Also admit I haven't seen many of his recent vids.
Thing is... I don't care if they say they broke up or whatever. But Onision gives way too many weird ass details. Dude is a freak.
I feel bad for his kid
Ray Gillette
it have to be taken away or it will be lost.
I feel with all this threesome relationship mommy kissing both daddy and a random blue haired chick, the kid is done for
I don't follow breakups. What is the level of shared details?

It just occurred to me...fuck Daniel, you are attractive
He's always been attractive fym
he's always been attractive. now that the sellouts (Dan, onision, phil, joey, mainstream youtubers) are being weeded out for what they are, you through your own bad eyes are starting to see the real attractive. shiny startles the attention but mr rep has been real forever
thegayestgoth well i just think that rep is looking alot more mature now rather than how young he looked in his older videos , i'm not saying he wasn't attractive before
I'm personally totally with couples who vlog their travels and other fun things together; but they should also keep their personal issues and even sexual desires off camera. I feel like this actually helps a couple both be a social media couple, and also being a private couple.
They should put their sexual relationship online for my viewing pleasure.
Also on the topic of Onision (if you have touched on this rep I apologize) but the hypocrisy is rampant with him.
Onision: "I will tell you about my personal life my family my past and my relationship. And also I'll play it up for views"
(Audience shows concern and starts to come to their own conclusions)
Onision: "you people are sick you fucking stalkers stop going into my private life that I definitely never encouraged you to dig in to. Now I'm going to flip you off and lie after I started the issue myself"
I recently broke up with Mafuro-chan my body pillow.
Boo hoo, let me play you a sad song on the world's smallest violin.
Your screen name is educational. Thank you for helping people to educate themselves.
oy vey
your username made me shudder
That pillow deserves better.
"Toxic" is gonna become the new completely useless word that everyone throws around
Calling it
I only try to use that words where it actually applies. Not, MUH FEMINISM IS UNDER ATTACK lol
Toxic was already kind of there as a synonym to cancer, just less used.
*****
Such a vague meaning though. I prefer to go with wording that's way morespecific. 's just me tho0o0
lmao u were right
Lmfao bro you was right. But PLEASE for all future references, can ya PLEASE try to 'predict' something not so shitty.
Maybe try something like "onionboi is gonna die in a fiery explosion with no innocent people harmed and all his children and animals ended up with very loving families!"
I'm ready for that prediction to come true!
Whered you get that jacket it looks hella cool

looks pretty gay
More like AMERICAN BEAST!!!
Love it
I remember watching Shane Dawson and then his new girlfriend Lisa Shwartz a long time ago. They didn't publicize their mutual breakup until way after it happened, but fans were speculating for a while. I stopped watching Shane but continued watching Lisa when she posted a video explaining the breakup; I barely even remember it. She says they're still really good friends but I don't watch her too often anymore. I think they handled it well enough I guess Idk
That was a bit of a different situation of Shane finally coming out bisexual and so Lisa wanted to be a good friend and let him experiment with guys. They are definitely still friends though.
There's also h3h3 and his wife. They have a really cute relationship. But, on the topic of relationships... How's your boyfriend doing Rep?
I thought Hila was Ethans carer xDDDDDDDD
That's not Ethan's wife it's his sister.
They do videos together but they don't talk about their relationship, which I think is a smart choice.
+Xenos couldn't have said it better
Not even joking Ethan and Hila are goals.
Yup, it always baffles me when people do this. I cherish my relationship far too much to pull an onision
these people are often put together by PR managers to grow both partners audiences
Which benefits the networks yes, but in many cases affects the dating relationships in negative ways when they don't know how to keeps things private that should be private between the two parties.
+MrRepzion They're put together for the drama. If they keep it private there's no drama. It's not, in many cases a real relationship, so it doesn't matter if it effects the relationship, it's fake
Hey repzion I know you like streaming so here is a pretty difficult puzzle/TPS game store.steampowered.com/app/530890/ (sorry for this being completely off topic)
Wow so you sold out to Oxy clean. I thought you were cool rep

Telling us something "you've had on your heart" sounds like Born Again Christian talk.

I know.
I think my lungs are on my heart.
Chasing thee arch heretic and his planet killer towards the Eye of Terror is the greatest test I have ever faced, but my soul is armoured in faith. Thee Imperial Creed guides me, banishing all doubt or regret. Thee Emperor stands with us and I have felt the purity of His righteousness. I have witnessed His glory burn away the darkness. I have seen the Imperium's indomitable ferocity unleashed upon its countless enemies. I saw courage and honour displayed in the Emperor's name. I saw thee unwavering loyalty and righteousness that He inspired.
No fortress could withstand thee Emperor's wrath. No fury could overcome His protection. The Emperor's light cleanses even the darkest corruption, sunders even the strongest curse. His glory brings salvation to those who embrace His ideals. Even the fallen are offered a chance of redemption in the Emperor's service... through death. Sacrifice, duty, honour... these are what the Emperor requires of us. Amen.
*lifts head from prayer*
I couldnt concentrate for the first minutes because i kept watching Pikachu snoozing in the background
Agree wholeheartedly, just so much unnecesary drama.
Marzia and Felix are amazing.
I love how the defrancos do it! The only public couple I give a shit about :)
It's not being public with it that is toxic, it's making it a part of your profession. There is a reason relationships in the workplace are frowned upon. I don't see why one should necessarily keep it private, as long as it's kept separate from their profession.
Mathias and Amanda Faye is a good example of a public relationship going well. People should look to them as an ideal model for a public relationship on youtube.
I'm most concerned about onision's child when he grows up and sees all of this ridiculous shit that his mother and father post online about their private life
If Shoe and Skep break up it will break my already black and charred heart
Repzion, it's healthy for the bank account
i 1000% agree with you. i feel like when people flaunt their relationship on the internet excessively it makes the relationship look so forced
I agree with most of what you're saying in this video, but I have seen a few people who talk about their lives and families on their channels and are still happily together after several years of vlogging (Cory Williams is the best example that immediately comes to mind). I think that, ultimately, the ones who manage to make things work are the ones who know what is okay to talk about over social media and what is better left private. Naturally, it also helps when the relationship isn't the primary focus of the poster's videos/posts. Granted, things change, but that's okay, and I agree that just because a person is prominent on social media doesn't mean that the audience has to know every detail (again, Cory Williams is a good example that comes to mind). As is true in all relationships, couples who are able to balance their private and personal lives and work things out between each other are usually the best off.
Personally, this video hits kind of close to home with me. I met my S.O. online in a chatroom, and we've been living together happily for several years now. The chatroom may not be /youtube/, but you definitely see this kind of publicized relationship on there too.
Since he's a moderator on the site, it's hard for people to NOT know that we're in a relationship, so I can kind of understand how maybe it seems easier to just make the relationship public, but you can do so without airing your dirty laundry.
Sometimes we do talk about things in chat instead of in person, but it's never more serious than "Weren't we going to the store?".
I think that relationships that either start or are partially online get unhealthy when you start seeking validation from the community you're part of or the audience that follows you. It creates this third-wheel dynamic where it's not just you and your partner anymore; it's you, your partner, and your audience.
It also leaves the couple feeling obligated to explain every post/video made to their audience as though they are ALSO part of that relationship. To top it off, it gives the audience a sense of inclusion in something that they're really not part of or have any control over, and that's just not healthy either.
I guess what I'm getting at is that I don't entirely agree that relationships put out in public are bad... it's how that relationship is put out there, and how much emphasis is put on the relationship that causes the strain. If you keep it mostly separate, and it's just public knowledge that you're dating, there won't/shouldn't be a problem.
Daaaayyyyuuuuummmm roasting bearing + sugartits and shoe + skeptic
I'm so glad you talked about youtubers feeling like they owe something to their audiences. I think this is a more accurate explanation as to why relationships are shared so often. I'm sure it's about money for some. however, the bigger issue is that social media has made viewers feel like they are best friends with these online personalities and that if something happens in their lives that they don't share, then they are somehow breaking the viewers' trust or lying to them. the youtubers feel like they have to say something because if not, they'll disappoint their audience. to me, this is a bunch of crap! celebrities don't owe anything to their audience except for their craft! that's it!
I'm 30 and as a kid growing up in the '90s all I knew about my favorite celebs were what they may have said on TRL or in Tiger Beat Magazine. and yet somehow, me and a gazillion other people survived without knowing what Justin Timberlake had for lunch. it's a crazy world that we've made for ourselves!
Is that a dead Pikachu in the background?
it appears the relationships need some of that extra strength your carpet cleaner has.
I remember hearing somewhere that divulging information about a relationship you have on social media often results in shorter lasting relationships compared to those who keep the relationship more private.
I strongly agree with you on this one, Daniel. I think that "public relationships" type people end up usually breaking up because both behaviors tend to be committed by the same type of person: the type of person who is superficial and feels the need to share their relationship and get approval in order to feel good about themselves tends to also be too superficial to hold long-term relationships with most people
Bless this. He made a video arguing with her about her gender identity and instead of talking in the same room, Lainey did nothing but comment on the stream and they argued that way. their relationship is so fucking dysfunctional that I can't wrap my brain around it.
I do agree with you, really.
And, in the end you do summarize perfectly well why some people would do that."it's my Goddamn channel and I'll talk about whatever the fuck I wanna talk about." Some do it for views, of course, but there has to be the obligatory 'not all' thingy put in there. Perhaps it has to do with the feeling you get when you're so happy something happened (the start of a relationship, for example) that you want to shout it from the rooftops because you just can't keep it in (hmm... I'm sure I had a fart joke for that... somewhere...) . Then, when it comes to an end, some feel the need to just...rub salt into the wound, I suppose? It is not healthy, and it certainly isn't good if there are children involved as they inevitably get sucked into something they should not be put through...
3:35 I agree with everything you said, but I wouldn't say everyone likes "break-up" videos but when a couple are both youtubers and both film/live together, I think it would be kinda weird to not address a divorce or break up at all. Especially if they make videos together often like BFvsGF...I mean people would eventually start asking "where's so & so?"
I feel really comfortable knowing nobody can find out about any of my relationships on the internet. Keep it private, keep it yours.
I have also noticed that trend too, couples that publicize their relationship so much on TH-cam most of the time seem to end, especially vlogging couples.
I often see a trend with couples-not just on youtube-but on social media in general where at the beginning of a relationship they will post shit like photos and statuses and like each other's shit and all sorts of cutsie crap all the damn time. I've been guilty of it myself when I first got with my fiance. But the natural course of things is that over time, you don't feel the need to share as much crap online. The posts about each other, the pictures, should (imo) gradually decrease in frequency, preferably to none but that's being unrealistic for most people. This doesn't mean you love your partner less, in fact it means the opposite. You're so secure in your relationship you don't need to post things to gain views, likes and approval from the general public.
And a couple who communicates so much through social media isn't really communicating well enough in real life and the more they share, the more insecure they are in the relationship. Thus there comes the inevitable break up.
Seriously, can anyone else comment on this trend? I've seen it so often within my own Facebook. xxx
I guarantee you that their public arguing was pre-planned for more attention = more money.
I have to agree with you. I saw it happen with Shane Dawson and Lisa. You couldn't go to one of their break-up videos without someone in the comments bashing the other and claiming that they did horrible shit to each other.
Despite the fact that they both agreed to break-up and be friends.
There was a study about the correlation between 'facebook official' and likelihood of breaking up. Google it if you're interested in reading. This can also relates to other social media as well as youtube.
I believe the best kind of TH-cam 'couple' (or just a TH-camr whose boyfriend is in her videos) is Simply Nailogical. Her boyfriend, Ben, is in her videos, but they do not publicize their relationship. There are some videos where she puts a focus on him (such as the video where she put him in drag makeup) or has him test out unusual nail products, etc, etc. They don't fight over social media, they don't show any visible toxicity, they're a funny pair who show up together or mentions the other.
There's a dead pikachu in the background
My favorite TH-cam channel JustKiddingNews consists of people in their late 20's, early 30's who are very public about their relationships. Shit they have a side channel that answers relationship/sexual questions and they draw from their experiences to help others. Personally, I believe it all boils down to the individuals maturity.
In my opinion, constantly publicizing or bragging about your relationship is a sign of insecurity. That it’s not going to last long
shoe and skeptic are perfect.
I really want that sleeping Pikachu plush in the back.
Also I agree with your viewpoints. Normally I just ignore "break up" videos or Twitter drama because I personally don't like seeing them.
it's been the exact same on facebook for years with regular, non-famous people.
I agree and I think that Skeptic and Shoe are a great example to how it should be
I agree. However if they started on TH-cam as a unit on a collab channel and their following is exclusive to them both rather than individually it's important in a way to let their followers know what the deal is if they aren't making videos together anymore, such as PrankVsPrank. It's best to settle it simply in a video saying "we aren't together anymore so no one needs to constantly ask what's going on or feel in the dark about our channel, this channel will be inactive or we will be posting videos individually." It clears things up, let's people know how the content will continue, etc. However I agree if they both post on their own channels about it, it's kind of awkward, an excuse for views when they both could've just let it fade into existence that they weren't together. I think people would get it eventually if they stopped talking to each other/making videos together so it's not necessary to make a statement unless it has to do with them working together directly on TH-cam. Personally I think it should be private as well but if they work together in a singular channel, it's kind to let their audience know what direction their content will be going in considering they are subscribed, etc. but that's just personally what I think.
I especially hate the ones that are all "lovey-dovey" with each other LIVE to TH-cam, and be "cute" for views by pandering to the Tumblr crowd.
That baking soda in the background lol
Repzion is a good kid
Yay! None of those awkward pauses FeelsGoodMan
I would be freaked out by the tissues, but I see cleaning products behind them, so its cool :)
Agree with you on all points, Repzion. I was disgusted when I saw those videos by Psychosoprano and Joshuadtv announcing their divorce. Do TH-camrs like them (or any other relationship TH-camrs) recognize how destructive their videos are? They portray their relationship as perfect and then when they divorce/breakup, their followers are heartbroken. I saw at least 5 videos of young girls crying over their divorce. Even Psychosoprano said she and Joshuadtv fought constantly, but didn't show that because it would damage their "perfect" relationship. Now that they're getting divorced, their young followers think marriage & relationships are all doomed to fail. If their "perfect" relationship couldn't survive, then what would give them hope true love really exists? These relationship TH-camrs only skew young children's minds of what "true" love is supposed to look like. I don't have a problem with these relationship TH-camrs. I just like how fake they are. DON'T just show the good times. Show them what a REAL relationship is supposed to look like.
Relationship drama and breakup videos remind me of the channel KidBehindACamera where it consists of Pickleboy and Bridgette West. There's been a lot of videos like that of them after Angry Grandpa passed away.
Onision's life is one giant emotional roller coater!
I do agree 100% only display your relationship if you have been with that person for a while
It's all toxic. TH-cam audience are sheep.
but we are also the poison
not all are sheep,some of us are wolves in sheep's fur
"wolfs in sheeps fer"
I also think it's a good thing some people publicise their relationships, without a bit of transparency here and there you wouldn't really get a good picture of what's normal and what's not (gauging what is/isn't by the responses of people to their relationship as well as the feelings of one of the individuals)
I could say my bedroom didn't look like your recording room, but that would be a lie..
Why does he low key look like a young version of Jigsaw from the saw movies 😂😂😂😭😭😭
Totally agree with you Dan. CTFxC and The Shaytards are perfect examples of this.
Incidentally, just today there was a thing shared on reddit about how the happiest couples are usually ones that spend less time on social media.
I think you nailed it. If you live in public, then like or not, you break up in public, and there is a lot of public speculation with no basis in reality.
Love your smile! And yes, I agree. Keep your private affairs off the internet. People must have pretty low esteem if they need cheerleader trolls cheering or tearing them on.
The shaytards are a couple with kids and they have a great relationship but they don't post arguments or really personal stuff. They do share their relationship on the Internet but they know where to draw the line.
That phenomena as a name, its call immaturity.
I don't do Twitter, so I can't remark about any interactions there, but I have a positive example of a good TH-cam couple: BearingXSugarTits. He does his thing, she does her thing, and they will often collaborate to make videos together. We know they're a couple, but that's really about it, so if they were to break up I doubt it'd affect either channel. They make for a really good example of a TH-cam couple that others can learn from, IMHO.
I don't think it's healthy for a relationship to put it all on youtube, but I love watching it so I hope they keep doing it
Interesting perspective, Dan. I enjoyed listening to your thoughts on this topic, its refreshing to see videos of guys like you being genuine and humble about dating, privacy and personal image. Just to add, I feel sharing so much personal information about one's dating life tends to be more of an inflation of their ego, like "I''m so cool look at how awesome my bf/gf/life is" and such, which is the vibe I've gotten from Onision (now he's laying everything on the table eh?).
Great video, peace and love be with you my friend.
Sniperwolf too
I agree with your assessment. I think if you are any public figure, TH-camr or not, it's best to keep it at the very least mostly private.
I think you're right about keeping your relationship a private , I observe on Facebook who I have or used to have ppl who posted so much their relationships that when ever there was a problem they'll slash it out and of course ppl want to either break them up, hurt them with the info their getting from the couples Facebook or any social media. I feel that when u post too much about your relationship ppl either want to break u up or know dirty secrets. Btw am a fan of your channel and both u and your dogs are cute :)
I know twin flame couples who publicize their relationships on youtube and their relationships are way too strong to be broken up over nonsense, and if they bring some of their issues to the table it's because they want to show others how to properly DEAL with them-not-for the purpose of creating drama and getting more views!
If anything, they get the least views among the typically known youtube couple.
You're spot on dude, well said.
totally agree. people need to keep their private stuff private.
I'll be honest, I eat up the TH-cam drama, but sometimes I like to think from both perspectives and see what could be done better (especially regarding relationship stuff)
from my understanding, onion boy has been doing these TMI videos literally anything about him for so many years, right? i think i heard him say on one of his videos its "therapeutic" for him to always just share everything. his thoughts and feelings, for the world to see and hear via internet. i guess for me, onion boy just treat every audience his personal close friend, making his private lives not private. while its healing to share bottled up feelings...but for the whole world to see? i guess its his way of validation of feeling "heard" or "listened" to. statistically, it makes money anyway. onion boy is just that weird kid who cant shut up about everything even in his adult life. had a rough life and found youtube. then proceeds to treat it like a best friend and therapist. figured out to make his whole life an entertainment for his audiences since it sell anyways and while its "healing" for him at the same time. hes stuck with this kind of lifestyle for so many years and this became his normal way of living. i can see why and understand this perspective but its really depressing indeed. i cant do anything but stay away from his content.
Yessss. Confirmation biassss.
i so agree with this. people who post their relationship all over Facebook. post everything. I had one friend, she would constantly check her bf's FB. they broke up because she thought he was talking to some other girl and they had a big fight in a comment section on a FB post.. broke up
I agree, but I do think that breakup videos can be necessary because they want to update their fans on the situation, but no matter how well they handle it, the fans will always blow it out of proportion and jump to conclusions and make it far worse than it needs to be
I agree, the title of the video says it all really, people being too public with their relationship is really setting a rather bad culture, online and offline. Good video.
I guess if the person just needs to vent about his/her feelings without going into the details (i.e. "I'm sad and this sucks" vs. "we broke up because 'A, B, C' and he/she did 'blah blah blah' to me"), then it might be okay, but I still wouldn't give a shit.
I agree, I mean if it's someone who has their boyfriend/girlfriend appear like as a guest or friend and family I mean it's cool, though I don't think anyone can argue against the fact that it's a lot safer to just keep loved ones off the camera completely or at least 90% of the time. But yeah it's definitely unhealthy when you go to the extent that people like Onision and Trisha Paytas have gone to. I've never been interested in or supported that kind of behavior....
Personal stuff within relationships or anything else for that matter should never be broadcast over the internet, I hate when people do that, Its kinda inappropriate, a relationship is a personal thing and should be on the internet period.
I think everyone should keep their relationship business in their relationship. These days too many people post too many thoughts on facebook/twitter/etc. When I have issues with my fiance we take space and work it out later, we don't involve other people in our arguments, we don't involve other people in our disagreements. There is no reason to publicize your relationships.
