Hey Paul, just my 2 cents here...I am a former full time youtuber with almost 200k subs at one point - and I remember the days of trying to please the algorithm gods. Here's the thing...youtube will never be a reliable source of income. Trends come and go, the algorithm is fickle and mysterious, people get bored watching the same creators, etc. Looking at your current numbers, youre doing very well for a channel your size. Its unrealistic to expect 30-40k views consistently with only 40k subs. Sure, you might get that every now and then, but that should be the exception and not the rule. If you are getting 10% of your sub count on each video, youre doing GREAT. And you are currently exceeding that. IMHO, youtube should only be considered a hobby and whatever $ is made should just be an extra. When you put a video out, realize it no longer belongs to you. Have zero expectations as it now belongs to your audience and the algorithm and they will do with it what they want. Make content you enjoy making, dont rely on making money from it and use as a way to express yourself creatively. If the negative comments, declining views and the amount of work it takes to make the videos isnt worth it to you - thats fair and you could get another side hustle going instead. Ill make sure to click on more of your videos though!! Good luck in whatever you do. :)
It sounds like the haters are getting to u..please reconsider because I'm a new Comer and I enjoy your content and others out there do and will enjoy it too. .y they're attacking the idea of sky being on ur channel is so ridiculous.. alot of you tubers have their pets on their channels..it's just stupid on their part Hold your head high your doing great
I think you're a doll, I like your style and personality. Just be yourself and ignore the haters. Other channels are experiencing similar comments. These are the last days, just rest in knowing you were created for such a time as this...resist that evil negativity. Pray and read God's Word. ❤
Like many others, I want to tell you that you are great at what you do. Your personality is so sweet and you have a gift to make friends wherever you go. I have learned so much from you over the last couple of years. Thank you! If I may say one thing without offending you, I really appreciated when you pointed out the BOLOs. That is, the things that are unique and you find at low prices and sell for 5x the price. I don’t sell on EBAY because it scares me with all of its rules. I haven’t given Whatnot a try yet. I think for those of us who haven’t tried it believe it could never work for us because we don’t do the volume you do. I am sorry that you depend on TH-cam to pay your bills. I know they take soooo much work. Do your own thing because God made you Uniquely-Paul! And He doesn’t make mistakes!
Hug❤. I've been hoping you will come to AZ. Then I could meet you and try to convince you to let me follow your steps and learn how to do all of this wonderful stuff. I didn't realize how negative it can be though. Also duck those people that don't love Skye. Dogs are amazing and mine has helped me through many hard times.
Hire someone to go through your comments and remove negative people. You do you - dont try to please people. Be authentic and who you are - your audience will find you.
That's cowardly, and deceptive, but it is the TH-cam way. It really is an oxymoron to call this social media, as there's nothing social about it, just influence.
This hurts my heart to see you sad like this. You are a sweet, funny, genuine guy. You and Matt and Kayla are my favorites!❤ The negative commenters need to go pack sand. People are such cowards to say these mean things through their keyboards, things they would never say to someones face. Their hateful comments say everything about themselves and nothing about you Paul. I am sorry that you've had such a tough year, truly. As for the people complaining about seeing Sky and maybe Sasha too, screw them. There's something wrong with people who say they don't like dogs/animals or kids and steer clear of them. Our dogs and other pets are our babies and we have two boys, a daughter-in-law and three grandkids. Our pets are very loved and spoiled along with our kids and grandkids. Please just be you and do what makes you happy. If it means less videos then we, your loyal viewers, will still be here. I have tried watching some other resellers and sometimes don't even make it through the first video, just didn't click with them. Sending up prayers for you, and sending love and hugs from MT.🙏❤️🫂 Please know that you matter. Hope to see you soon. Take care of your heart and lean on God right now Paul, it will really help guide you.🙏✌️
The haters are unsuccessful so they have to hate on you to make themselves feel better. You are a genuine man of faith and I think it’s great what you do on your channel because it’s genuinely you.
Hey man!!! Brand new sub here, we’ve seen you around a bit, but your passionate video today talking about the struggle really hit us hard. You’re so important to the community and hope you get refreshed and regain the fire. “When you get tired, learn how to rest, don’t learn how to quit” Right on, fight on man. Make it a clean fight and it will feel great when you stand in the sun 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
PAUL, PLEASE DONT LET THE HATERS GET TO YOU. KEEP DOING WHAT YOURE DOING. IF YOU QUIT THEY WIN JUST BLOCK THE ONES HATING ON YOU. IF YOU QUIT YOU WILL LOSE THE PROGRESS YOU HAVE MADE AND WILL HAVE TO START OVER LATER.
Hey Paul. I am one of your viewers that isn’t watching your channel as much as I used to. I think you answered your own question. Once you transitioned to more of Whatnot, your EBay sellers (casual/Full time) probably dropped off. It seems to happen with anyone who alters their channel even a little bit. Having a 1 year old running around also limits the amount of TH-cam we watch and has really curtailed our picking and eBay selling. Do what works for you! -Gerry
I burned out on TH-cam and really dialled it back on my content. Too much negativity and became really pervasive as people got angrier and angrier. I stopped enjoying it. I was pretty honest about struggling through a divorce, sick parents, and some struggles I was having growing my business. People used that as a point of attack. I have learned not to take anything personally … but it definitely isn’t fun anymore. Just try and remember that 99% of the people are great and the 1% that are nasty are the loudest ones of all.
Have someone delete ALL the negative, judgemental , and hatred remarks immediately. Live life for you !! Mean people suck! Never change anything to try to please other people, especially strangers!! Love & enjoy your channel. Especially seeing the beautiful relationship w/ Sky. P.S. Enjoyed your singing voice 😄
Don't remove negative comments as they are still interaction and will boost the algorithm. People who leave negative comments are opening themselves to criticism by others in your comment section which will in turn boost the algorithm once more. In my experience it's not a good idea to remove comments, just don't read them.
I found you about a year before you moved to Florida and have been watching you ever since. You have taught me a lot. I’m just a 70 yr old lady who part time resells to supplement my social security. I love following your life as a reseller love seeing your 2 dogs rejoice with you when you’re happy and cry for you when you are sad. You are so real. A lot of us really love that about you. Screw those ppl who are negative. ❤❤
No weapon formed against you shall prosper. Just remember that anytime the enemy comes against you You are a child of God Paul please run these words through your heart and your mind Each time this happens. God will make you stronger. Just some encouraging thoughts from Eastern Kentucky. Love you Paul and Sky Stay strong in the Lord
Watch quite a few of these thrifting videos. Alot of customers also like Goodwill videos. Try a new changes, sometimes it's good. Don't listen to these negative people, they'll just bring you down. God has your back!
Never allow anyone to steal your joy . Continue to accomplish your goals to make a living. People interfere with your happiness because they're miserable. They aren't important at all ,no even the negative comments. Live your life and be happy with what you do daily.
Paul, you're allowed to feel down, your feelings are valid! ❤ I'm here to see you and your life, if it's your dog, your friends I'm here! ❤ Please don't allow a shadow behind a box to get you down, they are miserable people in their own lives and need others to be miserable.
Paul, do not let negativity from ignorant people stop your joy!!! People have no idea how much eBay takes from the sellers! Your mental health is the most important thing. I know you are from Ukraine, and as far as your religion that's none of anyone's business! I felt very afraid for you watching this video, please take care of yourself and know that there are people out here who care! God's speed
Don’t make decisions at one am. You are enough and you deserve a vacation. I think you are just going through a bit of a rough patch. Ignore the negative energy and embrace the positive.
Hi Paul. I just want to say that I love watching both your channels! I think you are a sweetheart and it broke my heart to hear what you’ve been going through this past year. I can see the love and joy in your face every time you have that little puppy on your lap and it makes me happy to see her too. I hope you can keep doing videos but understand if you can’t. I don’t see anything wrong with the videos you are making. I will keep you in my prayers! Take care of yourself friend!
I'm a "scumbag" reseller too. I love getting valuable stuff as cheaply as I can. I can't buy it and sell it, if someone doesn't know what they have and I do, that's their fault for not doing their due diligence. I can't imagine getting comments online about how I live. Don't let these fools be your master. As soon as you let these BS comments change how you feel, they become your master. You're your own master, rise up brother, you're doing a good job. Enjoy your dog, bow wow man.
Hi Paul...I never leave comments but I just have to say you have always educated and brightened up my day with your videos but please do what your body and mind are telling you to do...a week, month or a year, your true followers will always be here. Virtual hugs to you and Sky 💗
Listen here Mr Philly Phlipper, You are an amazing guy, please dont let a few idiots chase you away from all of us that love you. Theres always going to be miserable cruel people out there , ignor them, look toward us that enjoy you! YOU DO YOU , TO HELL WITH ANYTHING ELSE! NOPE WERE NOT LETTING YOU GO! NOPE NOPE NOPE! BIGHUGGGGGSS
The fact that that person let you go through all that knowing full well they weren't going to follow through with the plan just makes my heart hurt for you. Dogs are unconditional love ❤
Do what you need to for your own mental health. Remember 99% of haters would never open their mouth if they didn't have a screen to hide behind. Worthless opinions will never add value to your life. I wish you the best. You are a genuinely great person.
So sorry Paul. So sad lately with all these terrible people and bullies. I have my kids and my cats and my father that is all. Thank you for all the videos and for being you. Always appreciate them. ❤
Aww, I'm sorry you are hurting right now. It makes me so sad. Please don't give up on those of us who love watching you. You find such amazing items to show us and it doesn't matter how you sell it. We are still learning really great knowledge from you. Please don't listen to those mean people. They are just jealous of you. Just keep doing whatever you want to do in life. You are such a kind hearted and good person. Your dog Skye is Beautiful!! It makes me happy to see her making you so happy!! I will pray for you to find someone who will truly love you, like you deserve to be loved.
Please don't give up! I've been bedridden since February, and I look forward to your videos so much. They bring joy, not just to me, but many others. You are an inspiration to many and a great success story. If I had my way, I would get to see a new video everyday. I know it's hard when you are being attacked on all sides, but stop and count your blessings, for there are many more blessings than criticisms.
Sending you hugs, Paul. Don't let the A-holes get you down. I love your videos, and you have taught me a lot. I also love seeing your beautiful pups. Keep on keepin on!
People who love big and have a kind heart takes things people say more personal. I agree I don’t know why people have to be so mean. I’ve adopted the motto in my life to “be kind” you never know what someone is going thru or struggling with. I’m glad you have your puppy because when my husband died I got a puppy and she has been there when I needed her the most. Keep doing what you love and don’t worry about those that are negative or mean. Keep your chin up and take one day at a time. Much love to you ❤
You started this channel being YOU & people follow you because we loved you! Please keep being you and doing what you love. The world is evil- you are a good man…rise above and pray for the world we live in!
To many negative people out there. That is one reason why I quit making videos, people attack you because their life is just so pathetic that they have to drag people down with them. I just simply go to comments, delete their BS comment and block them from my channel. It is disheartening but keep doing you. You do have supporters out here. Yes keep the puppy 😂😂❤❤❤❤
Please don’t listen to those nasty horrible people ,you are a lovely lovely person love you videos ,I can’t believe they have made you feel so low ,just keep going you and your beautiful dogs are wonderful to watch ❤
Don't remove negative comments as they are still interaction and will boost the algorithm. People who leave negative comments are opening themselves to criticism by others in your comment section which will in turn boost the algorithm once more. In my experience it's not a good idea to remove comments, just don't read them.
4:46 pm EST. I never understand haters or negative comments. Just stop following if you don’t like content. Keep the dog on your lap. Don’t read content moments. Losers. They have to put others down to make themselves feel good.
Paul I am sorry! You have had a rough year…I can totally relate! Do NOT let the devil win! Do NOT change who you are or how you run your business for anyone! What Not is awesome, great community! Take a break…recharge and pray! You’ve got this!! Much love ❤❤❤
I love seeing Sky. There are always trolls who have nothing in their lives except to make others miserable. You go and get that puppy and love on her for all to see. You are funny and don’t change for anyone. Please know yourself worth, live for you. Being happy makes the trolls made so be happy and ruin their day.
Paul, there are so many people who love you! Don't let the haters bring you down. People are bullies and not mindful of others. It is sad. Don't let this put you in a dark place. Keep going...we love you. ❤
Hey man, you did right with this one. I'm not a subscriber, nor had I heard of/ seen your channel before, but you being authentic and vulnerable got you in the algorithm. Godspeed, and thank you for sharing this.
Small minded people have such big hate. I enjoy watching you because you are you, all the parts. Honest, fun, open, intelligent, loving. I'm so sorry you have such pain both professionally and personally and I hope everything is better soon. Sky has been such a fun addition to your videos and Im enjoying watching her grow. I'm glad you have her and are sharing her with us. Consider me an extra grandmother who looks forward to seeing you and hearing your stories. I'm glad you made this video. You let it all out. Hopefully you can now begin focusing on the positives. There are more of us than the negative nellies. Keep teaching and always be true to yourself.
Everyone gets burnt out even doing things they love. But absolutely don’t give up this side of your career, you’re just in a rut. ❤ It supplements your monthly expenses, and it’s important. Just let the dogs bark and keep doing what you need to do. Try something a little different, let your creative juices flow and have fun with it.
Hang in there Paul! I personally haven't been watching any shows as much, because I just ran into a huge lot of items that I regularly sell, so I have been listing, listing, listing. You are coming across just fine. Remember, winter is coming, so more people will be in their homes when the weather gets nasty, especially where I live.
My heart hurts after watching this. 1st of all from one dog lover to another,,,, How can people dislike dogs especially adorable little Sky???? Phooey on them! I enjoy watching ALL your videos and especially your great, fun interaction with people running the sales YOU have a fun, great attitude and it radiates. I've seen so much trash talk and drama on TH-cam lately it's sad and heartbreaking. PLEASE keep going, I watch you on What Not also YOU are fun. Sending prayers and Hugs!! Continue letting your love show and shine.
Miserable people need to make others miserable! Ignore them!! Keep doing what you love doing!! The losers will go away and those of us who love watching your videos will still be here!! Stay positive, keep your faith, and carry on!!
You know what? There are ALWAYS going to be negative Nancie’s that only want to spread their toxic energy. Funny how they don’t like it so much, they still hang around and watch. Keep sharing your light! The more you shine, the brighter things will become. You share your beautiful furbabies with the world, and you share your experiences. I know I’ve learned a lot about thrifting thru you and others that do what you do. Just remember, there are people out there that you’ve made smile and who’ve enjoyed your content. As long as YOU enjoy what you’re doing, then keep on keepin on! Big hello and belly rubbles to those pups of yours!
Paul, I am so sorry to hear you are in this place. I would love you to get the joy back - make videos of you yard saling and picking with joy - make your videos and the hell with the comments. Just make the videos if you want to. I love to see you pick. I found you the most joyous and happy when you were home in Philly with your warehouse. I know you love Florida though. You don't have to make TH-cam videos, if they bring you joy, make them and if they do not, then don't. Life it too short. I am praying that you find peace and get back to doing what you love.
You said it yourself about some people being keyboard warriors. Not having someone at home to talk things out with makes a big difference in people's lives. I'm so glad you used this platform to express your thoughts. Remember also, some people are jealous of the business and the life you've built for yourself because they can't do it. Please remember the followers you have that love your videos. I agree with the comment below about deleting those trolls.
It amazes me why and how involved people get into your personal life and feel like they need to judge. I am here to support you, learn from you and enjoy your content. Skye is an added bonus as I am an avid animal/dog lover. Please keep doing what you do and ignore the negativity ❤
It would be easy for me to sit on this side of the screen and tell you to ignore all the negative ignorant messages you receive even though that's my best advice to you. Apparently some people have no home training and no conscience. Do what makes you happy. Just because I don't sell on Whatnot does not mean your content is not relevant to me- you still give a lot of information and tips that are helpful regardless of what platform a reseller uses. That's just my 2 cents. Keep your chin up and don't allow negative Nancys to pull you down.
Stop reading comments or just skip over the negatives. You will never please everyone. This is your channel. Create and post what you want. Some will stay. Some will go. People’s interests change. I used to watch you and others several hours a day, but now I’m on a paper craft kick. It would be interesting to see if your counterparts are also seeing a decline in numbers. I wish you the very best and never let anyone keep you from loving that pup.
Some people aren't happy unless they make others feel like crap! You are a good person, a good shopper, a good seller and bring happiness to most of us. Screw the naysayer's, they are like water off of a ducks back. Block them and move on. I'm sorry about your break up, I know it causes Depression. (Been there done that!). Is there any way you could cut your expenses? You are a favorite of mine and others. Please don't give up. You bring me joy. Be strong. you can do this! xoxo
Don't let people's stupid comments get you down. Just lean on your faith and friends in tuff times. Me and my wife watch your videos every time they come out. God bless you Paul
BURNOUT: You could be sitting behind a desk 9-5 and get "burnout" (been there, done that). What we do then is an "attitude adjustment". Get tough with yourself, force yourself to be positive again. NEGATIVE KEYBOARD TROLLS: That's never going to stop. Laugh at them...maybe not in a post, but in your mind. They're NOTHING in the real scope of things. Ignore, or as I say "IGGY on them". Remember...you dwell on the comments that night, meanwhile they've moved on to troll someone else and they're not even thinking about you. PAYING THE RENT: Tweak your model. You've definitely done that before, we have seen you do it. All the best in whatever decisions you make.
Paul you are such a great and Happy person.Dont let Debbie downer put you down . We love you.skip the bad ones..We all love you. Don’t change. You are a h😊app😊y funny and kind person. Stay the way you are buddy. I love Sky🐶🐶🐶🐶. You look sooo sad today. Be happy again. Read your good comments.God Bless you🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️🐶🐶🐶
I use to be like you and worried what others thought of me, but as you get older you realise life is to short and never worry about others enjoy yourself and ignore them
Paul ... People may find your youtube channel because the are interested in reselling... but those who come back, come back for YOU. You are clearly a genuine person who wears his heart on his sleeve... and thats what bullies look for. Don't change what you do for the minority who leave negative comments, as clearly they have bigger issues in their own life. Your dog's awesome Your cheesy jokes are awesome Your stories are awesome Good people... honest people... genuine people... will always get my views... and I'm sure that goes for TONS of your other subscribers.
Paul!!! This breaks my heart to hear. 💔 You are such a star & and incredible human being!! My heart aches for yours! It really sucks seeing you sad. I started getting reseller burnout and haven’t been watching reseller content this year. I assumed you were absolutely still thriving and the happiest I’ve seen you. So much has happened & im so sorry I didn’t realize. There will always be haters where there is joy & contentment & love. You are the definition of love & light. Your success & what you do IS NOT easy! It takes hard work, talent & a personality that shines. It also takes thick skin & forgiveness & grace. (Which you possess all these things) I hope you know the world is a better place because you in it && the world needs you to keep shining. With or without TH-cam - you’re an absolute treasure. ❤
Oh Paul, you are making me cry! You are the age of my sons. I absolutely love your channel. I wish I could invite you over and give you a huge hug! I hope you get lots of positive feedback, I’m so sorry for all the negativity. Huge hugs!
Hey you! I'm pinkcatch over on whatnot, you need to just keep doing you and what makes you happy!! I think your great, know your worth guy ♡ I'm glad you got sky and she makes you happy! You deserve it.
We love your channel!! Thank you for always having great content. YES!! Our fur babies have unconditional love and support even on our worst days. Please know, that with all the hate out there, there are 1000 times more people that support and love you. Keep up the wonderful channel you have built. You deserve the best! You've earned it. 💜
I loved this video so much. As a person that suffers from Anxiety myself, this video touched me that Im not alone. I watched you from the beginning when I met you in Philly at Liberty Thrift. My advise is Meditate Daily, talk Positive to yourself, Love yourself. We are praying for you Paul. Love Kindness and support!
I am not a reseller but have enjoyed watching the personal side of your videos. The travel vlogs, your daily antics with Sky., etc. Do what brings you joy and honors the Lord. That is success in my books. Keep looking up!
I have heard so many content creators going through the same. They have learned to ignore and concentrate on all the good comments. You didnt get to over 40,000 subs because people dislike you! You have a huge heart and are kind to people thats what matters! How many folks can say they have over 40,000 friends. There will always be bullies look beyond them. Your whatnot shows are so entertaining! Be you Paul you will grow. Prayers for strength and perseverance to move beyond all the trauma and negative in your life. Many Blessings Paul
Please know that you have a great personality and a kind heart- hopefully you can release the negative energy and feel the love from your subscribers 😊
The pupster and her development are fun to follow. Your garage sale encounters are what makes your picking videos better than other people’s. I love learning how you do healthy cooking. It’s all free for me and provided by you. Thank you!
My friend. I don’t always comment on videos. But I always watch them. Do what makes Paul happy. You have a lot on your shoulders for sure. Keep being Paul. Keep looking up.
Paul, please do not let these people bring you down! You are very entertaining and I love your content. I’ve enjoyed your videos and I have learned so much from you. And I love that you include your dogs in your videos. You have such a wonderful way of communicating with people. You have fun meeting people at the garage sales you go to and you’re funny and so nice. Don’t stop being yourself just because some people are bitter and have a crappy life. God bless you Paul.
Hey Friend, I know exactly what you feel and are going through. Im ready for a move myself and a new environment. I do reselling myself to get by. Id be happy to come down and split rent and have the opportunity to start new in Florida.
Dont quit. I love your videos. People can be mean. Dogs are so much better than people. I love seeing Sky. You are so genuine, thats why I watch you. People need to chill out and cut others some slack. Hang in there.
I will never understand how our society has stooped so low. I see it daily out in the world where people aren't even hiding behind the screen. Sadly, it's as though cruelty is the point. Please just ignore the comments and do what makes you happy! I feel if they don't get a reaction, they'll move on. Bullies are everywhere; don't feed them. And by all means preserve your state of mind by thinking positive. Your business is growing; enjoy every moment! 💙

It sounds like the haters are getting to u..please reconsider because I'm a new Comer and I enjoy your content and others out there do and will enjoy it too.

I think for those of us who haven’t tried it believe it could never work for us because we don’t do the volume you do. I am sorry that you depend on TH-cam to pay your bills.

Hug❤. I've been hoping you will come to AZ. Then I could meet you and try to convince you to let me follow your steps and learn how to do all of this wonderful stuff. I didn't realize how negative it can be though. Also duck those people that don't love Skye. Dogs are amazing and mine has helped me through many hard times.

Hire someone to go through your comments and remove negative people. You do you - dont try to please people. Be authentic and who you are - your audience will find you.
That's cowardly, and deceptive, but it is the TH-cam way. It really is an oxymoron to call this social media, as there's nothing social about it, just influence.
This!
He’s a grow man it’s just hate

@@beverlylane400 absolutely 👍
Absolutely 💯!
The haters are unsuccessful so they have to hate on you to make themselves feel better. You are a genuine man of faith and I think it’s great what you do on your channel because it’s genuinely you.
Don’t let rude miserable people drag you down. They choose to be unhappy. God Bless you and Sky. You are in my prayers.
Hey man!!! Brand new sub here, we’ve seen you around a bit, but your passionate video today talking about the struggle really hit us hard. You’re so important to the community and hope you get refreshed and regain the fire. “When you get tired, learn how to rest, don’t learn how to quit”
Right on, fight on man. Make it a clean fight and it will feel great when you stand in the sun 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
You are the most sincere, kind person I watch. To see Sky so happy when she is on your lap and seeing you love her makes me smile!!!!!
PAUL, PLEASE DONT LET THE HATERS GET TO YOU. KEEP DOING WHAT YOURE DOING. IF YOU QUIT THEY WIN JUST BLOCK THE ONES HATING ON YOU. IF YOU QUIT YOU WILL LOSE THE PROGRESS YOU HAVE MADE AND WILL HAVE TO START OVER LATER.
Don't let the haters win! Giving up is letting them win! It's your channel, you can't please everyone! Keep your head up and keep going! ❤
Hey Paul. I am one of your viewers that isn’t watching your channel as much as I used to. I think you answered your own question. Once you transitioned to more of Whatnot, your EBay sellers (casual/Full time) probably dropped off. It seems to happen with anyone who alters their channel even a little bit. Having a 1 year old running around also limits the amount of TH-cam we watch and has really curtailed our picking and eBay selling. Do what works for you!
-Gerry
Me too.. Not into what not....
I burned out on TH-cam and really dialled it back on my content. Too much negativity and became really pervasive as people got angrier and angrier. I stopped enjoying it. I was pretty honest about struggling through a divorce, sick parents, and some struggles I was having growing my business. People used that as a point of attack. I have learned not to take anything personally … but it definitely isn’t fun anymore. Just try and remember that 99% of the people are great and the 1% that are nasty are the loudest ones of all.
I feel you here 100%
This is why I quit Facebook, I really think it's worse.
💯👍🏻
Facts bro
It will help Paul if we let the ads play out and not skip any. Hang in there Paul, don't let the bullies win..❤❤❤
Have someone delete ALL the negative, judgemental , and hatred remarks immediately. Live life for you !! Mean people suck! Never change anything to try to please other people, especially strangers!! Love & enjoy your channel. Especially seeing the beautiful relationship w/ Sky. P.S. Enjoyed your singing voice 😄
Don't remove negative comments as they are still interaction and will boost the algorithm. People who leave negative comments are opening themselves to criticism by others in your comment section which will in turn boost the algorithm once more. In my experience it's not a good idea to remove comments, just don't read them.
@@nerderousrampage good to know
I found you about a year before you moved to Florida and have been watching you ever since. You have taught me a lot. I’m just a 70 yr old lady who part time resells to supplement my social security. I love following your life as a reseller love seeing your 2 dogs rejoice with you when you’re happy and cry for you when you are sad. You are so real. A lot of us really love that about you. Screw those ppl who are negative. ❤❤
Aww ty
No weapon formed against you shall prosper. Just remember that anytime the enemy comes against you You are a child of God Paul please run these words through your heart and your mind Each time this happens. God will make you stronger. Just some encouraging thoughts from Eastern Kentucky. Love you Paul and Sky Stay strong in the Lord
Watch quite a few of these thrifting videos. Alot of customers also like Goodwill videos. Try a new changes, sometimes it's good. Don't listen to these negative people, they'll just bring you down. God has your back!
AMEN N AMEN
WITH GOD. YOU ARE STRONGER. 🫶🙏🏼🫶
Love your word good word..
Never allow anyone to steal your joy . Continue to accomplish your goals to make a living. People interfere with your happiness because they're miserable. They aren't important at all ,no even the negative comments. Live your life and be happy with what you do daily.
Paul, you're allowed to feel down, your feelings are valid! ❤
I'm here to see you and your life, if it's your dog, your friends I'm here! ❤
Please don't allow a shadow behind a box to get you down, they are miserable people in their own lives and need others to be miserable.
Paul, do not let negativity from ignorant people stop your joy!!! People have no idea how much eBay takes from the sellers! Your mental health is the most important thing. I know you are from Ukraine, and as far as your religion that's none of anyone's business! I felt very afraid for you watching this video, please take care of yourself and know that there are people out here who care! God's speed
Don’t make decisions at one am. You are enough and you deserve a vacation. I think you are just going through a bit of a rough patch. Ignore the negative energy and embrace the positive.
Hi Paul. I just want to say that I love watching both your channels! I think you are a sweetheart and it broke my heart to hear what you’ve been going through this past year. I can see the love and joy in your face every time you have that little puppy on your lap and it makes me happy to see her too. I hope you can keep doing videos but understand if you can’t. I don’t see anything wrong with the videos you are making. I will keep you in my prayers! Take care of yourself friend!
Please don't quit. I look forward to your videos, and not a lot I get to look forward to.
I'm a "scumbag" reseller too. I love getting valuable stuff as cheaply as I can. I can't buy it and sell it, if someone doesn't know what they have and I do, that's their fault for not doing their due diligence. I can't imagine getting comments online about how I live. Don't let these fools be your master. As soon as you let these BS comments change how you feel, they become your master. You're your own master, rise up brother, you're doing a good job. Enjoy your dog, bow wow man.
Hi Paul...I never leave comments but I just have to say you have always educated and brightened up my day with your videos but please do what your body and mind are telling you to do...a week, month or a year, your true followers will always be here.
Virtual hugs to you and Sky 💗
Listen here Mr Philly Phlipper, You are an amazing guy, please dont let a few idiots chase you away from all of us that love you. Theres always going to be miserable cruel people out there , ignor them, look toward us that enjoy you! YOU DO YOU , TO HELL WITH ANYTHING ELSE! NOPE WERE NOT LETTING YOU GO! NOPE NOPE NOPE! BIGHUGGGGGSS
I'm sorry things didn't work out with that relationship. You will overcome that. There is a wonderful person out there for you. And Sky is adorable.
The fact that that person let you go through all that knowing full well they weren't going to follow through with the plan just makes my heart hurt for you. Dogs are unconditional love ❤
Yea it wasn’t easy
@@PhillyPhlipperI am so very sorry for all that happened. You certainly did not deserve that. And, that person, clearly did not deserve you!
Do what you need to for your own mental health. Remember 99% of haters would never open their mouth if they didn't have a screen to hide behind. Worthless opinions will never add value to your life. I wish you the best. You are a genuinely great person.
Why would anybody hate about puppy content?!? They must be the devil
Just keeping doing you. Do what you feel is right. In the long run, you have to make yourself happy.
So sorry Paul. So sad lately with all these terrible people and bullies. I have my kids and my cats and my father that is all. Thank you for all the videos and for being you. Always appreciate them. ❤
You are the best of the best, the most fun of the fun, the greatest…please don’t go anywhere - we all love the hell out of you!!!
Aww thank you
Aww, I'm sorry you are hurting right now. It makes me so sad. Please don't give up on those of us who love watching you. You find such amazing items to show us and it doesn't matter how you sell it. We are still learning really great knowledge from you. Please don't listen to those mean people. They are just jealous of you. Just keep doing whatever you want to do in life. You are such a kind hearted and good person. Your dog Skye is Beautiful!! It makes me happy to see her making you so happy!! I will pray for you to find someone who will truly love you, like you deserve to be loved.
Please don't give up! I've been bedridden since February, and I look forward to your videos so much. They bring joy, not just to me, but many others. You are an inspiration to many and a great success story. If I had my way, I would get to see a new video everyday. I know it's hard when you are being attacked on all sides, but stop and count your blessings, for there are many more blessings than criticisms.
Thank you, I will
Sending you hugs, Paul. Don't let the A-holes get you down. I love your videos, and you have taught me a lot. I also love seeing your beautiful pups. Keep on keepin on!
People who love big and have a kind heart takes things people say more personal. I agree I don’t know why people have to be so mean. I’ve adopted the motto in my life to “be kind” you never know what someone is going thru or struggling with. I’m glad you have your puppy because when my husband died I got a puppy and she has been there when I needed her the most. Keep doing what you love and don’t worry about those that are negative or mean. Keep your chin up and take one day at a time. Much love to you ❤
You started this channel being YOU & people follow you because we loved you! Please keep being you and doing what you love.
The world is evil- you are a good man…rise above and pray for the world we live in!
To many negative people out there. That is one reason why I quit making videos, people attack you because their life is just so pathetic that they have to drag people down with them. I just simply go to comments, delete their BS comment and block them from my channel. It is disheartening but keep doing you. You do have supporters out here. Yes keep the puppy 😂😂❤❤❤❤
Please don’t listen to those nasty horrible people ,you are a lovely lovely person love you videos ,I can’t believe they have made you feel so low ,just keep going you and your beautiful dogs are wonderful to watch ❤
Don't remove negative comments as they are still interaction and will boost the algorithm. People who leave negative comments are opening themselves to criticism by others in your comment section which will in turn boost the algorithm once more. In my experience it's not a good idea to remove comments, just don't read them.
4:46 pm EST. I never understand haters or negative comments. Just stop following if you don’t like content. Keep the dog on your lap. Don’t read content moments. Losers. They have to put others down to make themselves feel good.
Paul please don't let all these negative comments get you down. You do a great job and I love watching you. Take care and keep the videos coming.
Paul I am sorry! You have had a rough year…I can totally relate! Do NOT let the devil win! Do NOT change who you are or how you run your business for anyone! What Not is awesome, great community! Take a break…recharge and pray! You’ve got this!! Much love ❤❤❤
I love seeing Sky. There are always trolls who have nothing in their lives except to make others miserable. You go and get that puppy and love on her for all to see. You are funny and don’t change for anyone. Please know yourself worth, live for you. Being happy makes the trolls made so be happy and ruin their day.
We really enjoyed when you went to yard sales by yourself and interacted with the sellers. God bless you.
Paul, there are so many people who love you! Don't let the haters bring you down. People are bullies and not mindful of others. It is sad. Don't let this put you in a dark place. Keep going...we love you. ❤
Hey man, you did right with this one. I'm not a subscriber, nor had I heard of/ seen your channel before, but you being authentic and vulnerable got you in the algorithm. Godspeed, and thank you for sharing this.
I appreciate that!
You’re a bright light out there - hang in! I truly enjoy your videos and your lighthearted interactions with others. Keep the faith and keep going!
Thank you so much!
Just breathe and take a minute. People are so mean these days. I think you are great and love your pups. Peace out…🙂
Small minded people have such big hate. I enjoy watching you because you are you, all the parts. Honest, fun, open, intelligent, loving. I'm so sorry you have such pain both professionally and personally and I hope everything is better soon.
Sky has been such a fun addition to your videos and Im enjoying watching her grow. I'm glad you have her and are sharing her with us.
Consider me an extra grandmother who looks forward to seeing you and hearing your stories. I'm glad you made this video. You let it all out. Hopefully you can now begin focusing on the positives. There are more of us than the negative nellies. Keep teaching and always be true to yourself.
Hurt people, hurt other people. Don't let the haters mess with your mental health, turn off your comments sometimes if you must.
Everyone gets burnt out even doing things they love. But absolutely don’t give up this side of your career, you’re just in a rut. ❤ It supplements your monthly expenses, and it’s important. Just let the dogs bark and keep doing what you need to do. Try something a little different, let your creative juices flow and have fun with it.
Don’t be defended! You’re a reseller! You win some, you lose some! Hater’s going to hate!! Chin up!!
Hang in there Paul! I personally haven't been watching any shows as much, because I just ran into a huge lot of items that I regularly sell, so I have been listing, listing, listing. You are coming across just fine. Remember, winter is coming, so more people will be in their homes when the weather gets nasty, especially where I live.
Absolutely this!
I love watching you Paul you don't need to change ever! I will never understand why people make such rude & ignorant comments
My heart hurts after watching this. 1st of all from one dog lover to another,,,, How can people dislike dogs especially adorable little Sky???? Phooey on them! I enjoy watching ALL your videos and especially your great, fun interaction with people running the sales YOU have a fun, great attitude and it radiates. I've seen so much trash talk and drama on TH-cam lately it's sad and heartbreaking. PLEASE keep going, I watch you on What Not also YOU are fun. Sending prayers and Hugs!! Continue letting your love show and shine.
So what, Let em hate watch. The more trollls the more traffic to your channel, the more money you get. You will never please everyone.
Miserable people need to make others miserable! Ignore them!! Keep doing what you love doing!! The losers will go away and those of us who love watching your videos will still be here!! Stay positive, keep your faith, and carry on!!
You know what? There are ALWAYS going to be negative Nancie’s that only want to spread their toxic energy. Funny how they don’t like it so much, they still hang around and watch. Keep sharing your light! The more you shine, the brighter things will become. You share your beautiful furbabies with the world, and you share your experiences. I know I’ve learned a lot about thrifting thru you and others that do what you do. Just remember, there are people out there that you’ve made smile and who’ve enjoyed your content. As long as YOU enjoy what you’re doing, then keep on keepin on! Big hello and belly rubbles to those pups of yours!
Still watching here, you're making me cry Paul. Love you man and keep Sky in the videos.
Paul, I am so sorry to hear you are in this place. I would love you to get the joy back - make videos of you yard saling and picking with joy - make your videos and the hell with the comments. Just make the videos if you want to. I love to see you pick. I found you the most joyous and happy when you were home in Philly with your warehouse. I know you love Florida though. You don't have to make TH-cam videos, if they bring you joy, make them and if they do not, then don't. Life it too short. I am praying that you find peace and get back to doing what you love.
Thanks for being real. Shake it off. Haters gonna hate. Love your jokes, your dog, your friends!
You said it yourself about some people being keyboard warriors. Not having someone at home to talk things out with makes a big difference in people's lives. I'm so glad you used this platform to express your thoughts. Remember also, some people are jealous of the business and the life you've built for yourself because they can't do it. Please remember the followers you have that love your videos. I agree with the comment below about deleting those trolls.
It amazes me why and how involved people get into your personal life and feel like they need to judge. I am here to support you, learn from you and enjoy your content. Skye is an added bonus as I am an avid animal/dog lover. Please keep doing what you do and ignore the negativity ❤
Fan here. I never noticed a speech impediment.. You need to work on your boundaries. You are successful and need to block out such haters.
Dear boy keep your faith follow your heart and keep going you can't please everyone do what feels right God bless
Love to see the puppy footage!! I'm so sorry for all the things you went through the passed year. Im glad Sky brings you joy.
My opinion.....I think you're great. I love your dogs and love seeing them. Please keep being you. For the most of us, we love you as you are.
Everyone has ups n downs and needs a break..prayers for you!!
Am so sorry!! Dont give up !! You are amazing!! Let the BS GO !! From NW Arkansas!! Love your videos!!
If you dont like something he is doing This is His page !!! Keep Trolling to a Different Page !!
It would be easy for me to sit on this side of the screen and tell you to ignore all the negative ignorant messages you receive even though that's my best advice to you. Apparently some people have no home training and no conscience. Do what makes you happy. Just because I don't sell on Whatnot does not mean your content is not relevant to me- you still give a lot of information and tips that are helpful regardless of what platform a reseller uses. That's just my 2 cents. Keep your chin up and don't allow negative Nancys to pull you down.
Ahh...I hate that you are feeling this way! You are SO awesome and inspiring and I'd hate to see you give it up! Your puppy is beautiful, as are you!
Stop reading comments or just skip over the negatives. You will never please everyone. This is your channel. Create and post what you want. Some will stay. Some will go. People’s interests change. I used to watch you and others several hours a day, but now I’m on a paper craft kick. It would be interesting to see if your counterparts are also seeing a decline in numbers. I wish you the very best and never let anyone keep you from loving that pup.
Don’t stop keep going on. Your a great guy and bring joy to a lot of people
Some people aren't happy unless they make others feel like crap! You are a good person, a good shopper, a good seller and bring happiness to most of us. Screw the naysayer's, they are like water off of a ducks back. Block them and move on. I'm sorry about your break up, I know it causes Depression. (Been there done that!). Is there any way you could cut your expenses? You are a favorite of mine and others. Please don't give up. You bring me joy. Be strong. you can do this! xoxo
Don't let people's stupid comments get you down. Just lean on your faith and friends in tuff times. Me and my wife watch your videos every time they come out. God bless you Paul
BURNOUT: You could be sitting behind a desk 9-5 and get "burnout" (been there, done that). What we do then is an "attitude adjustment". Get tough with yourself, force yourself to be positive again.
NEGATIVE KEYBOARD TROLLS: That's never going to stop. Laugh at them...maybe not in a post, but in your mind. They're NOTHING in the real scope of things. Ignore, or as I say "IGGY on them". Remember...you dwell on the comments that night, meanwhile they've moved on to troll someone else and they're not even thinking about you.
PAYING THE RENT: Tweak your model. You've definitely done that before, we have seen you do it.
All the best in whatever decisions you make.
Paul you are such a great and Happy person.Dont let Debbie downer put you down . We love you.skip the bad ones..We all love you. Don’t change. You are a h😊app😊y funny and kind person. Stay the way you are buddy. I love Sky🐶🐶🐶🐶. You look sooo sad today. Be happy again. Read your good comments.God Bless you🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️🐶🐶🐶
I use to be like you and worried what others thought of me, but as you get older you realise life is to short and never worry about others enjoy yourself and ignore them
Paul ... People may find your youtube channel because the are interested in reselling... but those who come back, come back for YOU. You are clearly a genuine person who wears his heart on his sleeve... and thats what bullies look for. Don't change what you do for the minority who leave negative comments, as clearly they have bigger issues in their own life.
Your dog's awesome
Your cheesy jokes are awesome
Your stories are awesome
Good people... honest people... genuine people... will always get my views... and I'm sure that goes for TONS of your other subscribers.
Paul!!! This breaks my heart to hear. 💔
You are such a star & and incredible human being!!
My heart aches for yours! It really sucks seeing you sad.
I started getting reseller burnout and haven’t been watching reseller content this year. I assumed you were absolutely still thriving and the happiest I’ve seen you. So much has happened & im so sorry I didn’t realize.
There will always be haters where there is joy & contentment & love. You are the definition of love & light. Your success & what you do IS NOT easy! It takes hard work, talent & a personality that shines. It also takes thick skin & forgiveness & grace. (Which you possess all these things) I hope you know the world is a better place because you in it && the world needs you to keep shining. With or without TH-cam - you’re an absolute treasure. ❤
Aww thanks Jessy
Oh Paul, you are making me cry! You are the age of my sons. I absolutely love your channel. I wish I could invite you over and give you a huge hug! I hope you get lots of positive feedback, I’m so sorry for all the negativity. Huge hugs!
Hey you! I'm pinkcatch over on whatnot, you need to just keep doing you and what makes you happy!! I think your great, know your worth guy ♡
I'm glad you got sky and she makes you happy! You deserve it.
We love your channel!! Thank you for always having great content. YES!! Our fur babies have unconditional love and support even on our worst days. Please know, that with all the hate out there, there are 1000 times more people that support and love you. Keep up the wonderful channel you have built. You deserve the best! You've earned it. 💜
hold your head high and keep on forward! We Love you! Pls don't stop🥰🙏🙏
Life is hard People are bad, but yet we have a quite a few that are good Don't let anybody take away your happiness You hang in there God bless you.
I loved this video so much. As a person that suffers from Anxiety myself, this video touched me that Im not alone.
I watched you from the beginning when I met you in Philly at Liberty Thrift.
My advise is Meditate Daily, talk Positive to yourself, Love yourself. We are praying for you Paul. Love Kindness and support!
Do you man.people insults doesn't have anything to do with you it's them. Harmony yourself. Be you 💛
I am not a reseller but have enjoyed watching the personal side of your videos. The travel vlogs, your daily antics with Sky., etc. Do what brings you joy and honors the Lord. That is success in my books. Keep looking up!
I am new to your channel and love it!!! Don t let the miserable people out there bring you down. Keep doing you, that s what makes your channel great.
I have heard so many content creators going through the same. They have learned to ignore and concentrate on all the good comments. You didnt get to over 40,000 subs because people dislike you! You have a huge heart and are kind to people thats what matters! How many folks can say they have over 40,000 friends. There will always be bullies look beyond them. Your whatnot shows are so entertaining! Be you Paul you will grow. Prayers for strength and perseverance to move beyond all the trauma and negative in your life. Many Blessings Paul
Please know that you have a great personality and a kind heart- hopefully you can release the negative energy and feel the love from your subscribers 😊
The pupster and her development are fun to follow. Your garage sale encounters are what makes your picking videos better than other people’s. I love learning how you do healthy cooking. It’s all free for me and provided by you. Thank you!
My friend. I don’t always comment on videos. But I always watch them. Do what makes Paul happy. You have a lot on your shoulders for sure. Keep being Paul. Keep looking up.
Paul, please do not let these people bring you down! You are very entertaining and I love your content. I’ve enjoyed your videos and I have learned so much from you. And I love that you include your dogs in your videos. You have such a wonderful way of communicating with people. You have fun meeting people at the garage sales you go to and you’re funny and so nice. Don’t stop being yourself just because some people are bitter and have a crappy life. God bless you Paul.
Paul, I am from Sydney, Australia & I love & look forward to your videos every week!! Sending you love & hugs!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Hey Friend, I know exactly what you feel and are going through. Im ready for a move myself and a new environment. I do reselling myself to get by. Id be happy to come down and split rent and have the opportunity to start new in Florida.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ be you. I enjoy you and Sky. People are just jealous. Don’t go away. Love from Canada.
This is just so horrible that humans can be so mean! That is one lucky dog to have you! Keep doing you and moving forward. Best of luck to you!
Dont quit. I love your videos. People can be mean. Dogs are so much better than people. I love seeing Sky. You are so genuine, thats why I watch you. People need to chill out and cut others some slack. Hang in there.
I will never understand how our society has stooped so low. I see it daily out in the world where people aren't even hiding behind the screen. Sadly, it's as though cruelty is the point.
Please just ignore the comments and do what makes you happy! I feel if they don't get a reaction, they'll move on. Bullies are everywhere; don't feed them. And by all means preserve your state of mind by thinking positive. Your business is growing; enjoy every moment! 💙
