"LA is a sunny place for shady people" 😂👌🏾 Accurate AF
hahaha hilarious
At least it's lighthearted, unlike Chicago, which has shady people (and even more proportions of them), but without the lightheartedness or NYC, which is heavier hearted in large part because of 9/11 and, related to that, has an awful lot of surveillance.
Haha! Thank you, I misheard it at first: LA is a suckie place for sh*tty people
@Daniel Rios huh?
Link Skywalker we not shady in chi wym
East coast ganggggg
Anna Campbell we need a collab on the east coast from you guys 🙌😊
Anna Campbell too bad you’re still a fake ass bitch
TH-cam Renegade she literally just made a video bashing Andrea russet and the entire situation was fabricated and dramatic just to get views
Anna Campbell REPRESENT 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 #PENNSYLVANIAGIRLS
yessssssss
I'm so happy and excited for you,. Steph. Congratulations :)
LEYKIS 101!
steph curry will divorce the hypergamy chasing ayesha. mark my words.
If you’re going to move anywhere for your TH-cam career NYC is the best option in the US. Access to the TH-cam Space, plenty of events and opportunities to work with brands... great airport. Plenty of huge creators there too.
REAL Angelinos are super nice and chill. It's the people who move here who are egotistical and have such high expectations, actually believing they'll become "famous".
Yup!!
True!!! I will agree with her though that L.A. is full of low self-esteem people who need attention and its why they act this way....but Imma give u the keys to enjoying L.A. and Cali in general 😉. *warning-long post* I lived in the Island Empire area when I was a kid so going to L.A. to visit is a different experience for me because I hang around the natives and locals and THAT'S the key to enjoying California....its NOT L.A. or the people in it. They are expats. Go for the cheesy touristy stuff, have confidence (Im not talking arrogance) and then even the people of L.A. will draw to you. Low self-esteem draws to high self-esteem...and Im a broke bitch so its not a money thing either lol😂. My husband and I arent scared or Intimidated by the bougie attitudes and EVERYTIME we go out, we draw crowds who want to party with us.....its confidence and not giving a fuck that's the key to L.A..... but then take your ass out of there and enjoy the AMAZING state for what you read and see, but with the natives of Cali and you will have the time of your life every time, Guaranteed no matter where in California you go! Dont let the brats ruin it for you....so to sum it up, just dont pay attention to it and be yourself and confident...its what L.A. lacks so they will then draw to you but DEFINITELY get to know the natives and locals who live in L.A. and outside of L.A. and let them show you the time of your life!
No
You're absolutely true. I've been in LA in the period between 1984 to 1989.
Truth!
I love how you say these things and decided to leave. A lot of other youtubers talk about how fake La is but still live there and hang around those same people. Good for you Steph.
Aww missed your videos! Glad you’re back. We support you no matter what decisions you make, at the end of the day you just gotta look out for your own happiness and I couldn’t be more happy for you for doing so.
I've been LIVING for these genuine chats
i think it was the best decision you couldve made, youre glowing! ly steph x
That's why I moved to a small town in California instead of going straight to LA
Wow! This is exactly how I feel. I have lived in LA for three years now and I feel like I don't belong because I want quality over quantity. Thank you so much for posting this. You helped me feel not alone in how I am feeling.
Janene Gibbons are you still in LA?
This is why I love you Steph! You don't hide anything! Lol You're not fake...you speak whats on your mind and how you are feeling. I hope your new home brings you many great, new memories to share with us. ❤❤❤
Steph thank you for always being transparent & and completely honest with every single one of us Steph and we support you on any decision u make wether it involves us or just a decision to better yourself! Steph you are one of the most honest and real youtubers and people I've ever had the honor of getting to know over TH-cam! Finally Steph I just really want you to know that you mean the world to me and that I love you so very much and I'm so glad that you made the big decision to move to NY to live in an environment where you can feel comfortable but 2 also take on the world of NYU for grad school!! I love you so much Steph you mean the world to me!!💖!!
Glad you did what you felt right and got out of a place that wasn't a good fit for you.. NYC is awesome, hope you are much happier there!
hi julie! luv yaa
Being Social Media famous is like being Monopoly rich, it means nothing*
cuptink1331 I love this comment
lmao good one
Actually, these kids make a lot of real money & it ain't monopoly money. Lol. Hate to say it. But look up some of these YT famous' financial worth. U would be surprised.
Except u actually earn real money
cuptink1331 how when you make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year?
I'm so proud of you, I've been following you for years now and believe me, you're part of the few youtubers who haven't disappointed me. You're still so genuine. Keep being you! Ily
WTF WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME YOURE HERE ALREADY
busted!!!!!!
lmao
Wow… I thought was the only one who feels like that, I don’t live in LA I don’t feel the city I’m living in like home too, I’m here just because… listening to you makes me realize that I need to move on… Thanks Steph! 😭😍
I can already see the difference in your smile. You seem so much happier than you've been in quite a while and that's wonderful! I wish you the best and I'm really looking forward to this new chapter and what it will bring. Thank you for letting me and all of your followers, be a part of this journey with you! You are amazing and inspirational! Thank you for being you.
This is on point, so many of the reasons I’m hesitant to move back to that area. Good for you for making the positive change ✌🏽♥️
Glad to see a new video can't wait to see what you have coming up.
I feel like you're talking about a very specific part of LA....West Hollywood/Hollywood area. However you could absolutely see an old woman with purple hair say in Venice. East LA has nice people who are super down to earth. Or what about Long Beach, Whittier, Pasadena, Montebello, Pico Rivera, Downey, Commerce..these are all towns in LA where the people you're talking about really don't exist. It's sad that West Hollywood really represents all of LA for so many people because it's such a small, shallow part of a really great city.
Colleen Michele this! I keep seeing youtubers shit all over LA. LA is beautiful and diverse and accepting in so many ways. Just because you encountered some shitty social media people doesn’t mean LA is to blame.
Amber Davis I’m going to make a positive LA video. Thank you for this. I got caught up in this too at one point.
Exactly
It's laughable to see all of you Socalians caught up in the idea that LA is star-spangled great. Maybe it's the smog that's clouding your thoughts. It's ok. The rest of the world understands your obliviousness to reality.
Gabe Kim you know how big LA is? The place this chick has been too is where everyone that from middle America or the east coast goes to live an “LA life” real people don’t live there we were pushed out it’s not your home you know nothing about it relax
I understand this so well. I've lived here for almost three years and I've done so much growing in that time. I'm more myself now than I have ever been. This is home. Welcome to NYC, Steph. We're glad you're here. 😊
Welcome to New Yawk!!! 💛
You're the real deal. You'll like it here. Has its own challenges but it's a solid town. I'm happy for you!
I’ve missed seeing your beautiful face!! I love you no matter what Steph and I am so happy that you are making videos again and wish you and Nugget all the best in NYC
Love you darling!!
Thank you love! It's good to be back
I'm happy that you are doing better
I think people who move to LA in pursuit of fame vs. people who grow up in LA have very different experiences. Doesn't feel fake to me, but that's just because I'm surrounded regular, grounded people. Very understandable that you didn't quite see that side of the city.
Exactly
Yeah white privilege woooo hoooooo good people stfu bitch
o yea ok
Diffuse Wings49 I am black and I have lived in la my whole life I feel that some people that move here are just looking for fame but honestly I think that all of the people I have met that have grown up here are really genuine nice and grounded people I just think that the fame sometimes gets to them.
I'll bet she's never been to Ports O Call or anywhere east of the 110. But yes traffic does suck here. LOL
❤️❤️ stay true to you!! Love how honest and real you are! So refreshing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's so great having someone like you to watch on TH-cam, it's so refreshing and comforting having someone so real and honest! Please never give up TH-cam, you make such a positive impact! 😊❤
I lived in LA for almost two years and that’s when my depression started... I’m so glad I’m out of that place now and I wish you all the best too dear💕🙏🏼
Aw, you sound so sad, Steph. Sorry LA didn't work out for you. Best of luck in NYC! Hope you post another video soon. 🤗🤗🤗
Forever in awe of your sense of self and commitment to authenticity. You rock, Steph!
thank you for being genuine steph, you are one of the sweetest, most caring youtubers out there
Honestly this video feels super genuine and refreshing. Can completely understand how life in LA could be this way. People can be so lazy and obsessed with being “insta famous” which is such a fleeting goal anyway 😂 Hope New York is a better fit for you! :)
Sarah & Rachel also it’s all about promoting “ the industry “ and whatever trendy new entertainment is out..... gets so old to be obsessed with trends or paid to push them ....
New York is full of fake fashion industry people that are obsessed with beautiful fashion models. They don't have womanizers in New York, they have modelizers (from Sex in The City). btw, I was one of the beautiful fashion models so I know firsthand.
Jamil Gotcher yeah that’s there and something to avoid but it’s not an overwhelming part of the vibe, like Hollywood is in LA. it’s still way more diverse, raw, real and artistic ..... u can basically still be more authentic there
You definitely picked a place where the people are straight forward. I wish you the best of luck and that it’s every thing you hope for.
yesss girl, I love how candid you are, watching your videos is so refreshing! happy to see you taking care of yourself
You go Steph. Glad to hear you are doing good and that you’re happy. Change is always good. You keep on doing you. I hope everything goes well for you out in NY. I myself will be moving there and I totally get what you’re saying. Once again wish nothing but the best for you and keep on being an inspiration for all of us. Love ya lots!!!!
The change in your facial expressions when you talk about LA the amount of pain expressed is hard to see but I think we are glad to see how happy you are in NY, hope you stay happy for a long time to come
Welcome to NYC!!! Yeahhh!
As always, your honesty and authenticity is much appreciated! ❤️
This is why you are amazing. You always tell it like it is. I know you will thrive in New York and can’t wait to see what’s next. Hope Nugget adjusted to the move alright. Have a great day Steph.
NYC is so amazing because you can be whoever the F you want to be
no car required and you don't have to deal with fake people. that is probably the most important.
Can you still be a mob boss?
And the people may be rude but they're REAL!!
😘 always live your best life Stephanie! 😁 look forward to more videos!
I’m so glad you’re happier❤️❤️❤️ you deserve so much happiness and love ❤️ lysm queen
I'm glad you're back! Thanks for making a video that sums up how I feel about LA. I grew up there and lived in that grey space and it was so hard. Luckily I'm an East Coast gal now and I couldn't be happier.
tartdarling what do you like about the east coast?
My question for her would be: How many of the LA people she met were truly from LA? Or are they Transplants (people from different cities/states) that have this idea of what LA should or shouldn't be? I'm curious to know the answer to that.
Girade Jackson 🤣😭 facts out of towners meet other out of towners in la and say “i swear la people are shady” 😭😭😭
Good question a lot of transplants come here and act different than they would in their hometown. They believe in that whole Hollywood lie
@@ladylefteye Locals only go to Hollywood if were working there and the whole time can't wait to get out of there.
@@philg7528 right haha. I’m a local. I use to go to just hang out.
Love the honesty! I know you’ll crush it in NYC. Just know you’ve always got a place to crash if you want to visit LA to remind yourself why you left 😂
so you're the shady one lol
OOOF.
This really hits home. I moved from Miami for the same exact reason. Glad you’re removing what doesn’t feel right from your life 🌺
Thx for the insight in LA life. Good to hear to you're in a happier place!
you got that right Steph, I'm doing TH-cam and am in Canada. Great video, you really bring up a lot of great points. It's nice to hear it from somebody who is real. - Mark over at the BakeLikeAPro TH-cam channel.
Why are you not verified?
The reminded my just how great of a person Steph is
Glad you're happier in NYC! I know I'm glad to see you back on TH-cam. Best on your endeavors in this chapter of life!😁😁❤
your voice is so relaxing omg i could listen to you talk forever also um i met you in orlando and you’re the sweetest human, i love you❤️
We always love you ellosteph
You definitely don’t have to move to LA for TH-cam. Just go on trips for collabs and get brands to cover it. Only reason to move their is lifestyle and to be in entertainment
I’ve heard of you, but this is the first time I’ve watched a video of yours. I think this was the best first video I could have watched. I connected so hard to this, and just moved to NYC for the exact same reason. NYC just provides this culture of being who you are and accepting everyone. I hope you find your place here.
yaaaayyyyy you’re back!!! East Coast welcomes uu ❤️❤️
Welcome to NY!!!!
Sara Dietschy OMG SARA WHAT
Thank you!
Haha have if you meet with sara
Sara Dietschy i live in NY toooo
john murphy anyone who can’t hack it in NYC says the same thing👎Welcome to life!
You seem so much happier!! 😍✨
I am :)
So refreshing to see someone do REALTALK.
All the best in NYC
Welcome back!!
i never saw anyone look side to side this much. not a negative comment, just different. something for me to get use to.
"Social media famous is like being monopoly rich. It means nothing" i know im late to the game here but preach girl preach!!
i already commented a bunch on instagram BUT i'm so happy you moved to nyc! we're lucky to have you :) moving from la couldn't have been easy especially as a youtuber but you did it and we're so proud of you! you're gonna kill it at nyu
This move seems like a good choice! Can’t wait to see what you do next in your new home
YOOOOO that east coast TRUTH coming out!! ❤️✊🏻🤣
I missed you beautifullness!!
Wow, this is SO raw and candid. You are the Real Deal. NYC will suit you more. E.Coast in general is so crass; we'll tell you like it is without abandon. I lived in NYC and it is the best place to live in 'anonymity' when you need to. You seem very introspective and perceptive. Good luck to you (I know this video is a couple years old, it just resonated with me).
Really hope NY will treat you better. Glad to see you back on YT!
LA native here- so sad to here about your experience here :( Yes not all people are like this but yes "a sunny place for shady people" for sure. But I'm glad you decided to move to NY and that it fits your vibe.
I just recently did the reverse move, from NYC to LA. I've definitely seen a lot of what you mention but for me, so far, LA has definitely felt like home, and I've met some great people. I also haven't experienced much of the "WeHo" / west side scene, so I'm still a bit naive about all the social climbing and fakeness. I couldn't live in this city if I had to drive though. Motorcycle life is treating me well. I'm glad your loving NY! That city will always have my heart.
Believe me there are a LOT of NYC transplants here and a lot of them must feel at home. Don’t believe me? Just go to Angel Stadium when the Yankees are in town. That place turns into Yankee stadium with all the fans that show up. There are a lot of them here apparently.
dip1955 Yeah, I saw a map showing where people move between big US cities recently and more move from NYC to LA than vice versa. Many in LA move to Denver, SF, Austin, and Portland. I live in NYC and quite a few people I know and have met here have moved to LA (and also other cities), very few say they really love it and will never leave unless they just arrived.
Honestly, being born & raised in la it hurts me to admit this but I 100% agree, like it honestly saddens my heart but it’s true but girlll you do you. Do what makes you happy! I’m extremely happy for you!!
Glad you are feeling more comfortable and doing what's right for yourself. Stay true❤
God I wish we could know which TH-camrs are fake and mean in real life! I would unfollow immediately
Probably any that are famous enough. Sure it gets to their head fast especially when they are young.
If she had named names it would still be subjective so you'd be just as fake as they were to unfollow at the suggestion of someone else!
Natassia Oliver Okay then
heykelly Just don't praise anyone and pay attention to narcissistic characteristics. I've noticed some people look at themselves all the time, make faces and fix their hair all the damn time. It's pretty easy to spot people who are full of themselves.
onmy computer2020gal David Dobrik and vlog squad is number one
"LA is a _sunny_ place for _shady_ people."
Well, shoot. Unfortunate that it drove you out, and in so doing, lost a bit of shine.
I’m happy for you! Make the decisions that make you happy and content! ❤️
Best of luck! ❤️ you helped me come out like 5 years ago! Im glad i found you again ! Im sure following you now on
I am glad you are happy in NY. I suddenly feel really great about not living in LA. Lol, thanks!
“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. “Gandhi
Really looks like your happy with your decision to move, good for you never forgot to do what’s in your best interest. I can’t wait for new videos from your next chapter. 😊
Congrats!! So happy for you!
I literally have bright blue braids and I live in LA, kinda stupid to move here just for youtube. Can’t relate.
When you grow up in LA, it's a completely different experience.
hair on fleekkkkk! new york is my home and I hope one day it’ll make you feel like you’re at home ❤️🤗
Great video! I like your honesty about your experience in LA. I agree with you that when you are in such an environment where you see people talk about their friends in their back, are obsessed with appearances, it is easy to not feel at home. I felt the same but that was in an work environment at a specific location and I decided to leave which I believe was a good decision because now, it is so much better at this new location.
A sunny place for shady people. Lol you nailed it
Great move! Literally :) ALSO I NEED THAT T-SHIRT. how?
Kweerdo get real movement! They’re the best. Use laura&madison for 15% off. Doesn’t give us anything just helps you!
You’re honestly one of the only TH-camr who is honest, genuine and brave to speak about the truth and I personally appreciate that 😌
I'm just glad your back!!!!!
3rd comment thanks for doing a vid Steph I love you 😍 so much you’ve got so much love for us so we give it back to you ccc
Thanks Steph xxxxxxxxx
West coast is the best coast. LA is full of fake people, but it could also be your friend group and the type of people you attract.
Lex Grrez I met so many amazing people in LA in the 4 years I’ve been here. I think it’s naive to categorize a whole city as fake people, because seriously, in my experience, almost everyone I met here is so genuine and kind and actually care about other people. I guess if you hang out in Beverly Hills or Hollywood is a whole different story. But it’s also what you say, the people you attract 🤷🏽♀️ I love both NYC and LA anyways.
I also think it's the type of crowd Steph hung out with that's the problem. Of course the city has shallow people, but you can find plenty of them on the East Coast as well.
Agreed. I like to run, so joined a running community in L.A. almost 10 yrs ago now. Met the most wonderful, giving people ever there. Friends to this day. They get involved with helping the homeless and many other social issues/catastrophes that affect L.A, the States and around the world. Of course, none of them are youtuber's, so maybe that's a factor? Just good people doing good deeds....
The West Coast is the wack coast best of what lmao
Wet
Bless you Steph. Looking forward to more of you!
Thank you for making this video!! You're so amazing, love you!!
I wouldn't wont my happiness to be base on what others consider to be happiness
NYC represent
Arielle Scarcella can I count myself as NYC represent too ? Hahaha 💕
Welcome Back, missed your realness.
I’ve always seen Steph’s videos but have never been compelled to subscribe until now. NY looks good on you.
I’m literally wearing the same shirt as you right now
Great minds think a like :)
Kate Russell where did you get it?? I want it

First I just want to say I wish u all the best for ur future and this new chapter in ur life! Also I wanted to say I respect u for just being real and completely raw about ur feelings. I can relate with how u feel 100%! Keep doing u and don't change for anyone or anything girl! Much 💖!
So happy for you!! I love ny. can’t wait to see your vids there
