I respect you & your channel. I agree with you most of the time. I remember one time I disagreed with you & commented that. I can't remember now what the content was. What I do remember is you were so kind with the response back to me. I appreciated that & my respect for you grew! Unfornately cyber bulling is part of what is happening to our society. It's a part of the many issues that are currently happening in our society. This does not make it ok by any means! What I don't understand is why utube allows this to happen to the creators on their channels. Thank you for this video & informing your viewers of what is going on. Sending love & good vibes to you & Sadie.😊💝

That couple's video actually popped up in my feed yesterday or the day before. Unbelievable & shocking how much they've gone through. Thanks for sharing their message with your own personal experiences. I remember when the channel, Fathering Autism was reported to children protective services. They actually filmed the social worker coming to their house & addressed what happened in their video. I felt soooooo bad for them. They really emphasized how over worked social workers are & yet a social worker had to come to their house because of a false report. So sorry you've gone through so much. My promise to you - I will report it every time I see it & if any of those channels pop up in my feed, I'll be glad to hit "do not recommend channel" #Promise

They hate that you're a strong woman, and if you block them, they blow a circuit. It's like how dare you, protect yourself and stop their toxicity from being on your channel. One in particular, is obsessed over the fact, that you choose to be by yourself, and are ok with it. Keep being you and doing your thing.

I was bullied in my former career. It was a gang of very nasty women who were jealous of my position in the organization. They made up shit about me and got me fired. The union wanted to get rid of the older workers so they didn’t defend me, even though they admitted it was a put up job. Suffice to say I don’t support unions anymore. I was devastated financially. I am 71 and still working. I know all about bullying and so do you Carolyn. Maybe there is something better up the road for us? I protect myself now. I don’t put up with toxic people. I believe half the population in the US is mentally disturbed. Watch your back.

They're tiny little losers who have nothing good in their lives so they aim their hatred at you because you're open, authentic and successful; things they could never be. . YOU are the most interesting thing about them. That's why they do it. I know it's hard, but trust me, nothing they say matters to the people who matter. I hope that helps.

10 years ago I was cyber bullied when trying to sell some of my Mom's musical equipment on Craig's List after she passed away. She was a Popular Singer, Guitar Player, Recording Artist in the 50's and 60's, 'The Mary Kaye Trio' This one guy responded with the most vile, disgusting comments over, over and over again, that he posted on line about my dear mother. I was traumatized for weeks. I had to get my brother involved who searched and located the address of this 'Evil Slimy Troll" and my brother had to threaten him to get him to stop. And needless to stay I had to pull the ad out of shock and fear of more vileness from someone else.

Anything. I can't tell you how many times I've replied to the reply with something like 'HOW ON EARTH did you get THAT from what I said?!' lol I am really sorry that you've had to put up with all of that crazy BS.

In 1970 I was 9 years old and was being bullied by a 15 year old neighbour. One winters morning while waiting for the school bus he started verbally abusing me and others. I ran home and told my father. My father came to the bus stop grabbed the boy by his collar, and proceeded to shove snow in his face. By now the school bus had arrived and everyone on it witnessed this as well as the boys mother. My father told the boy, if you ever bully my daughter or anyone else I will come after you. That boy apologized to me and the other kids. Not only did he make friends with us he also began helping my father do yard work. One less bully teenager turning into an adult bully. If a father did that today he would be charged with assault.

I am also a 55 year old single woman with a dog and I have been watching your videos for a long time. I think you are an amazing, intelligent, brave woman and I think the way you’re living your life is fabulous. I hope this one comment can go into the positive bank towards the completely unnecessary negative comments you have to endure. I truly think the only way the bullying will stop is if people have to give all of their personal information before the say one word online.

I was a behavioral health counselor in the military for many years. This makes me extremely cautious when interacting with others in any manner. I agree, we should not have to live this way. Holding others accountable can be exhausting, and I applaud you for trying to get others to understand the damage negativity can bring.

I can tell you exactly what you've done to 'deserve' this bullying - you're a smart, strong and successful woman who isn't afraid to speak her mind. In this messed up world many can't handle that. Keep fighting the good fight. 💪 What a cess pit the internet can be.

Oh my gosh, Carolyn. I'd no idea how bad this has been! Thanks for elaborating, and for expanding on this topic in conjunction with Pure Living For Life. Educating the unaware is a valuable public service. You have much support in this endeavor, and much gratitude for it as well. I applaud your courage and perseverance. I am just one more sending you blessings, hugs and prayers for protection. 🙏🌟💕☮

I've often thought about starting a channel on my move across country in Sept and using the platform to support a cause. Though I don't know if I could handle these KZfaq BULLIES. I'm pretty tough,, like Carolyn. But reading day after day insults that are pointed at yourself has to be incredibly hurtful. We are made of flesh and blood. We're human.

There's a couple I enjoy watching on KZfaq called "Squirmy and Grubs" who get all kinds of harrassment on their channel. There are always well-meaning folks who interact with the trolls and stand up for the creators, but I know it's a waste of time on their part. I have often longed to be able to counteract these bullies, and now thanks to you making this particular video, I have learned that I can do something to help!!! Thanks so much for helping me to feel powerful!!

I just came across your channel about three weeks ago. So I’m playing catch-up with a lot of your videos. I appreciate you sharing your life. Find it very interesting and fulfilling. I admire your adventure and bravery. Being a 70 year old woman retired truck driver understand the challenges of the road alone., I’m shocked at how our society has become with social media. You’ve had to suffer any of this uncalled for behavior. Internet and social media is a great thing but like anything else you can take a hammer and build a house or you can hurt somebody. It just depends who has the tool in hand. May the angels great spirits follow over you, your spirit never dim. thank you Carolyn for sharing your experiences.

Addendum to previous comment a half-hour ago...Oh, yeah...HashTag Promise....I went down the list on the right hand side of your video looking for something to watch. Down the page a ways, I see some guy disparaging you in the title. So I clicked on it to watch...and in the first 30 seconds he was doing a fine job of it. I went to the 3 dots and reported the bullying. I didn't watch any longer than 30 seconds. And checked the spot to tell YT that I don't want to see his videos. Take care, Carolyn

Yes! While I was listening to Carolyn describe some of the various aspects of bullying I couldn't help but think of the Harry & Meghan. I don't know them (obviously) or if everything they've said is true or not, but the mean, nasty comments about them are over the top. And just like with Carolyn, there doesn't seem to be an actual reason people hate them so much. I'm been watching Carolyn's channel for a while now and didn't realize she (and apparently others) have this type of bullying going on. I admire her for hanging in there. I sold my van 6 months ago but still like following some of the full-time RVers, they're like family.

I just went through harassment issues. I had to file a police report and went to the courthouse in front of a judge to get a harassment injunction and then then serve the harasser. So now if he contacts me in any way a warrant will be issued out against him and he can go to jail for 6 months and 2500.00 fine. i had to deactivate my facebook account, turn off my comments on my channel. It was a complete nightmare! Constant nonstop harassment day and night! He made fake profiles of me, attacked my nonprofit organization.

It is happening to me as well. I am a Psychologist and I document this on my channel which has under 500 subscribers. His name is NirvGorilla aka Jitsi Voip aka Josh, aka Dan he has 30 aliases, a gamer and hacker. He has been leaving a Voice mail, TXt, nasty emails, comments, harassing my subscribers and more. He created a video about me called chicken killer. What you are missing is that these perpetrators are PAID provocateurs. It means that you have been :"targeted" and a network of people will harass you on and off for years.

The toxic climate of bullying is demoralizing-and dangerous!! The baser sides of human nature and the frustrations of the populace have been exploited and perpetuated politically, and its noxious effects are far-reaching. Yes, bullies will bully because they can, and it should not be tolerated! Reason is not effective against an angry mob full of suspicion and even clinical paranoia. It feels like we have regressed as a species and as a culture! You are courageous, and I will follow the guidance you’ve provided in this video to help neutralize the effects of the malignant hate to which you and others who have a social platform have been subjected.

Carolyn Thank-you so much for addressing this! I have a tiny channel and I’m not even monetized yet and I’ve already dealt with this. (on a much smaller scale- of course) I got so tired of people saying: just ignore them, turn the other cheek, Red. and people calling them “trolls” 😡 When someone makes a video about you, to bash you on their channel that is NOT a TROLL it’s a BULLY! And I had people I thought were my friends side with this person and think it’s OK for him to do a video bashing me -it got him watch time and he got monetized! The video he did bashing me is his most viewed live! I had to threaten this bully with a lawsuit to get him and his minions to stop. I am so glad you addressed this! YOU ROCK!

KZfaq should be able to censor comments in their website's program.

I will try to do what I can to help. Keep being strong and wise!

We all need to say no to everyone who is bullying. I don’t know what to do. I don’t comment much and no one has commented on my comments. I did have someone comment on a different channel and pretend to be the creator. Then they wanted me to get a free package ( iPad) it sent me a red flag and I called them scammers. So I deleted their messages. I am glad you are here to let people know!! Thanks Carolyn ❤❤

KZfaq has to be exposed because I can see how this comment would even trigger you, based on my own experience. It’s insidious and never ending. It’s time to put an end to it.
