you guys I figured it out figuring it out I now know why people watch Tana
mongeau what is up everybody this is Chris from the rewired soul where we talked
about the problem but focus on the solution and if you new to my channel my
channel is all about mental health and what I like to do is pull different
topics from the YouTube community to try to teach you how to improve your mental
and emotional well-being so the end of that kind of stuff make sure you
subscribe and ring that notification bell so yeah it's interesting I've made
a couple videos about Tana mongeau and I read as many comments as possible and it's just
very interesting to me so when I was reading the comments I think my last
tana mongeau video about like are we really surprised that panic on didn't go
well right like I was like wow tonight I share a lot of subscribers and I'm like
where is this overlap like as a mental health Channel how do Ted and I share
the same audience I was really fascinated to me so what I did was I put
a poll up on my community tab to try to find out who subscribed to channel why
they subscribe to Tana and surprisingly 83 percent of people said that they
weren't subscribed to Tana but I had so much engagement on that poll it was
fascinating and looking at the other options and just reading through the
comments on it like it was over 300 comments and so many people were talking
about how they watched Anna because they can relate or to see the crazy thing
that she does nice a lot of people who say they don't subscribe to Tana but
they still can relate to her which is interesting to me so I want to talk
about a few things here because again this video isn't about Tana I don't make
videos about youtubers I talk about youtubers to try to teach you to look at
yourself and look at your mental health so YouTube is kind of like the new
reality show right where I remember like when I was a hot mess when my mental
health was just terrible my mental health was awful my relationships were
awful and all that I could slip on like Flavor of Love a rock of love and if you
remember those those reality shows well I Love New York how about that one
but you can watch those and you'd be like oh wow these people are way better
more messed up than I am right and it's crazy because my life my reality
everything still sucked but I would watch that to feel better about myself
meanwhile I'm not doing anything to improve myself and that's why I'm always
trying to get all of you to take what you're doing like who you're watching on
YouTube and kind of evaluate your own mental health and I've kind of been
wondering this for a while because I read a lot of comments
I watched Twitter and other forms of social media and try to see who was
watching which creators like I'm a very analytical person I I try to monitor
like human behavior and you know the human mind just fascinates me and
something that I've realized that a lot of people watch creators that they can
relate to that's one of the reasons I make so many videos about creators is
because I know you can relate to them but we need to start seeing like are we
watching people as a form of confirmation bias
so when you look at somebody like Tana mojo right where her brand is screwing
up living a crazy lifestyle like I've talked about this in other videos Tana mongeau
is shocked she is just flabbergasted when crazy
things happen to her but it's like you guys when you live a wild and crazy life
crazy things happen to you like I can't stress this enough my life is a lot
different ever since I quit doing drugs of drinking now don't
get me wrong I'm not here to like say oh you should be sober or whatever like do
you baby do you go out and party have fun and
everything like that but I have a video that's recently been blowing up about
tannaz like potential substance abuse I don't even know why I said potential she
is abusing substances but anyways anyways like ask yourself like are you
watching these creators to justify your own behaviors like one one pet peeve
that I've had since growing on YouTube is how other creators hate the word
influencers right and a lot of them use this as a way to kind of not take
responsibility for their bad behaviors and all of that but
we are influencing people are you guys I have had massive growth massive growth
in the last year last year around this time I had less than a thousand
subscribers I think less than 500 subscribers now as of the time I'm
recording this I'm at 41,000 subscribers that is exponential growth and what
freaks me out what freaks me out but I'm also honored is when I see people
tweeting or talking in our discord or in our Facebook group and they say well
Chris says this right and that freaks me out because I'm like now I have a
responsibility right what if I give terrible advice or terrible suggestions
like I said I'm honored but I have some responsibility now think about that
I have 41 thousand subscribers somebody like Tana mojo has millions of
subscribers now can you imagine somebody saying well Tana would say to do this in
this situation like that is some very scary stuff all right like I have an old
Trisha Paytas and jason nash video that's been getting quite a bit of views
and i recently had a comment on it that said like oh that's messed up but you
think that people who like and Maya Trisha Paytas or can relate to Trisha
Paytas might need help and it's like well yeah yeah like she is constantly
having issues in her life and with her mental health like if if if you can
relate to that and you don't want to get help like I don't I don't know what to
tell you you know what I mean like this isn't a bad thing like we are all I
believe that all of us are are our own version of crazy all right like we look
at other people's eyes and say okay like is that is that good is that healthy but
the other thing that I want you guys to look at is are you hanging around people
who are co-signing your BS right and what that means is like are you having
people in your life who enable you something I always try to teach you is
to hang out with people who tell you what you need to hear and not what you
want to hear that's for a very very good reason and for example for example in my
active drug addiction I was no longer allowed to see my son okay his mom took
him away from me because I was getting high and drunk and it was just a bad
situation she took him away from me I wasn't allowed to see him I didn't see
him from in months and months and what I would do
is I would go out and I would use drugs and I would party with my quote/unquote
friends can you believe her he believed her taking my son away what kind of
woman keeps her son away from his father and I was hanging around people who were
like yeah man forget her I can't believe she's doing that like what what like a
real friend would have said yo Chris maybe you should quit doing so many
drugs and try to start seeing your son again maybe you should grow up and be an
adult but I wasn't hanging around those people so that's what we're talking
about co-signing our BS so are you watching these creators to co-sign your
bad behaviors or are you trying to watch creators who inspire you to be better
who try to tell you a little something about yourself to motivate you to move
forward with your life and become a better person on a daily basis so again
this video isn't necessarily about Tana mojo it's about you I want you to
evaluate who you're watching on YouTube and why you're watching them all right
that's what I want you to think about anyways anyways let me know down in the
comments below like do you watch creators to justify maybe some bad
habits that you have or bad behaviors that you have or let me know down in the
comments below do you watch youtubers who push you and
try to inspire you to be a better person alright let me know down in the comments
okay anyways that's all I got for this video if you like this video please give
it a thumbs up if you're new make sure you subscribe and bring that
notification bell because I make a ton of videos and a huge thank you to
