KZfaq fucking needs to get its shit together 😡

I love you all more than you will ever know. This absolutely breaks my heart, and I am truly at a loss for what to do.

I just have to say, the LGBT+ content on KZfaq really helped me accept myself, to accept others, and to come out. Ellosteph was a huge part of that, and even if you are leaving, I really do appreciate all the videos you have put up and all the things you have taught me. We love you!

Well this is worse than any of the break-up videos

We just lost BriaandChrissy, now we're losing ElloSteph??? Who next? Ally Hills? Stevie Boebi? Just Between Us?? HELP!

KZfaq needs to get its fucking life together

Honestly, KZfaq is not what it used to be. It's very disappointing and I totally understand where you're coming from.

Every year at the KZfaq-Rewind there is a gay person. To make the appearance that KZfaq is soo open minded. But on the other hand KZfaq blocks videos for gay content creators. For advertising issues the gays are apparently good enough but when it comes to the payment they can rear themselves. Thats just sad :(

I'm so sorry this is happening to you, I hate that LGBT content is being targeted. This is the one place where there is so much representation for our community. I will continue to support you no matter what. You are one of the most genuine people that I watch and I can honestly say that watching your content makes me feel happy and loved. I will always be here for you and so will all of us. I love you

Don't be scared to ask for help. It's something everyone needs. I hope this all gets figured out soon, I'm sure we all support you no matter what

I'm proud of you for putting yourself out there. You helped a lot of people. Thank you for everything

This Video makes me want to cry. I do not understand why KZfaq is now so "homophobic". I don't want you to have to quit your job because of some people that don't understand what it is to live on so little a day. Your videos are amazing and your smile lights up my heart. We will never stop being silent for this act of hatred toward LGBTQ+ creators. KZfaq Please start paying these creators what they deserve and look past their sexuality.

Steph, I'm so sorry this is happening, it's not right. I'm going to support you through this, you have given me, and so many others, so much support. This really upsets me, and I'm sure it upset you and others as well. We are gonna fight, don't give up, and I love you. Thank you for what you have done 💞

What are you going to be doing for a living instead of KZfaq? In confused. You're quitting KZfaq to do what? Or are you still looking for a job?

Steph I having not seen the video and just the notification I just want to say, I hope you are happy and you spend your life doing things you love to. You have been an amazing influence in my life and I credit you for a lot of it, your openness and honesty are so beautiful - I love you so much and I'm so thankful to have known you during your KZfaq career xx

whatever you decide to do or not just know that you are an awesome person ( I mean we only know you from KZfaq) and that you help me a lot about finding who I was so thank you so much from France 😚!

You have helped so many people, myself included, we are all endlessly grateful for your content! ❤️ KZfaq won't be the same without you

I'm going to miss your awkward, cuteness, insightful videos ): btw Steph stay lovely

No :( We'll miss you.

I support you no matter what, Steph, you are so strong, and I know we'll all get through this together! Keep the faith, and stay strong! 💙❤️

I'm so glad I had the chance to see you at buffer last year, you have helped me, and many others in so many ways so thank you so much! I hope you find something that makes you happy, and works for you 💕

This is the fourth leaving KZfaq video I've seen today..someone tell me what is going on

I knew this was what it was when I read your tweet. Honestly, you helped me through everything. When I was questioning my sexuality and having issues, seeing your videos helped me through all of it and to truly understand what I wanted. You have become such a huge part of my life and always will be.

Wow. I respect your decision and I'm so sorry for what you're going through. It's so sad to see this, especially since I remember having your videos during my questioning and coming out phases. I'll certainly miss you but have the best of luck!

Nooo! I'm so sad but I completely understand. We all need to make a living! So I just wanted to say thank you for making life easier!!!❤️

how can I contact you I really wanna know what's going on.sorry if I'm being rude or something.plz tell me how to contact with you. I really wanna help you go through this.

How and to whom do we speak up to to bring awareness to this issue and ultimately, get it fixed?

I just want to say thank you so so so much for doing all youve done for us. thank you. thank you so so so so much, ive put watching this off because i was so just so afraid of losing such a constant in my life but ive finally made myself and as god as terrible as this is i just need you to know you have helped. you are helping. god thank you so so so much for having such an impact on my and many others life. thank you for letting us truly believe we arent alone, that we are worth being loved and seen and god thank you for all of it

FFS KZfaq. I really like watching these videos and it sucks that such a massive social media platform is gonna miss out on awesome people like Steph because it can't get it's sh*t together

Hey I'm so sad that this is happening to LGBT+ KZfaqrs etc. I watched your channel since I started questioning my sexuallity and you helped me alot. I want to help you as well so I will support you when I got my money.(also I'll have Birthday next month so I'll get money too) And I wanted to say thanks because It is a struggle to make KZfaq but for many people those videos mean alot and you choose to be there for our confused little souls😊 Ly

Steph nooo. I always watch you're videos when I am sad or when I need motivation. 😩

The crazy part about all of this is that I watched a makeup video today and the ad on it was very vulgar, including dogs humping, bloody objects, etc. It is clear that this restriction is to limit this community while not giving a damn about censorship when it comes to people paying for ads. So sad! You are awesome and thank you for this video! ❤️

I wish you the best of luck Steph.

There's strength in numbers so I'm making this comment even thoug everyone else has already said it. KZfaq needs to get its act together and not discriminate against lgbtq+ youtubers. Goodluck ElloSteph, I really wish you the best of luck, I love you and all the content you have made. ❤❤❤

I just hate what KZfaq is doing to LGBTQ+ channels, I've been growing up with that content, it helped me discover who I really am, and this channel got me through the hardest times when I felt alone, even I am far away in Argentina I feel so close to this. It's just heartbreaking.

this makes me so sad and angry. I love you Steph!!!

Do you think it's possible that you and other creators who's content is being restricted (not only LGBTQ necessarily) can make like a second KZfaq, you already have a following and there are many companies that are boycotting KZfaq for their new policies? Just an idea :)

I've been through so much in the time I've been watching you & you've changed my life. Thank you, Steph. I'll try my best to support you with all I have x

I'm so sorry it had to end with you leaving KZfaq, you are such a big inspiration and it breaks my heart that you guys have to stop doing what you love because of the restrictions.. I wish you the best of luck with whatever you are going to do now

Thank you you have helped me through so much and your videos made such a difference wish you the best and we will all support you in whatever you do

this absolutely breaks my heart Ellosteph you are one of the first youtubers that I've followed, and you've helped me so much, you are always so genuine and you have such a big heart, it is so unfair that youtube is treating you guys like this !!!:'(

I'm so sorry that things have gotten this bad. I'm proud of you for having the courage to make this video. You said what needed to be said. Xoxo

I'll miss you Steph. You made content that's made me laugh, understand, and get emotional over. You've been a great source of comfort and it's sad to see that KZfaq hasn't fixed it's problem. I'll donate as soon as I'm able to

I'm going to miss your videos and all the advise you gave us . THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING .

please stay steph! 😢😭

I really hope you reconsider, I really enjoy your videos and they have helped me through a lot.

We are proud of you Steph! Can't wait to follow you on this new journey! 😀💞

You already know how many young LGBTQ people you have impacted. I'm starting a new school, and your videos are an amazing resource for finding out who you are and what you stand for. Thanks for that.

We will always love you and support you in whatever you do :)

Thank you for everything you did, good luck on your new chapters of your life and keep shining Steph! We love you ❤️ and support you offline as well 🌺🙏

please don't leave KZfaq you're one of my favorite KZfaqr

This hurts me

I hope everything works out pls don't leave

I just want to say thank you to you. Your coming out video was one of the many I watched when I was questioning my sexuality and not only did you help me figure that out but inspired me to make KZfaq videos too, to express my creativity and be proud of who I am. As a community that goes through shit anyway it sucks that KZfaq is now a part of that. Obviously I hope you don't quit but thank you for what you've done for our community x

Hey Steph! I'm sad to see you on less but thank you for all your vids.

Oh my God, all I want right now is to break through screen and hug the hell out of you. You are a HUGE support and role model and please never, ever ever forget that. Even tho you don't know me you helped me a lot when my world fell apart. I love and respect you with everything I got and hope to see your beautiful, heartwarming smile again soon. 💗💗💗💗

I just watched the H3H3 video on the same issue, totally sucks you won't be around as much but you absolutely have to be able to support yourself properly and hopefully creators stepping away from the platform will encourage KZfaq to actually make some changes x

one of my favourite youtubers, who i looked towards in the process of questioning and then eventually coming out. this makes me so sad, but thank you for showing me that i can be myself, and i wish you luck

I got news for ya, its not just LBTQ + videos. Its an entirely new Algorithm. Even Tech channels are seeing this this change. KZfaq is killing their own product off

Thank you for being honest with us. I wish you the best. Please still make videos. You help so many people in so many ways and it would be extremely sad to not get to watch and support you. You are fantastic and I wish you the best. We all support you xxx

You were the first person I subscribed to and you're videos have truly helped me. If you have to leave in order to make a living, I'll miss you but if you have to do that, I wish all the best for you.

Oh my gosh I am so sad. I respect your decision but I am so heart broken. I'm really going to miss you :((

This makes me really sad, but I do wonder how long this will last. I definitely understand your worry, I mean, if a boss from another company would just not pay you half your salary you would consider quitting too after researching and discussing it, but in some cases it is temporary. I really hope youtube will fix this asap!

I loved your videos. they gave me lot of emotional support when I was feeling lost... please do some videos on your spare time if possible... we love you Ellosteph

Love you so much!! so sorry that it has come to this just remember that you are leaving a huge amazing footprint behind and have changed the life of many especially mine so thank you. Will miss you dearly!!!

Awwww that's so messed up 😔

This breaks my heart!! Too many creators are being forced out or to give up what they love because of these restrictions and ad pulls :(

I'm crying my eyes out right now but I wish you luck in what ever you do in the future. Thank you for making your one video, Dear Love because it meant a lot to me. I love you so much and I hope every magical and amazing thing possible happens to you.

Nooooooo not u 😢😢😢😢😥

Keep fighting steph. You helped me come out of the closet, and get over my depression. You're amazing. You'll always have a place in my heart, whether KZfaq says so or not. Thank you. Lots of love, Potato

I am so angry and sad at the same time. this is not fucking fair.

You have helped so many people, given us support and made us all feel valid and accepted. As one person you have done so much. Your videos have helped me through such a hard time and I will always be so thankful for that ❤️

always here for you, Steph

Steph do whatever makes you happy. you've helped so many people including myself and i'll never forget what youve inspired me to do and how to be myself. thank you. i love you

This is a sad day indeed...your videos are the reason KZfaq is my safe place and they helped me come out not only to my parents but to myself...thank you

Please don't go, I've been watching your channel since my sister showed it to me years ago. Its helped her come out and I'm starting to do the same. We should all make our voice heard by KZfaq so they truly will remove the restrictions.

have you thought about selling merchandise?? I would love to donate but I am just a student, and I think a lot of your viewers also share in my financial struggles... But I wouldn't mind buying a t-shirt or something else like water bottles to help out. Also, I absolutely love your top!! Love from the Netherlands

So sorry to see you leave! I agree with everything you said, it's ridiculous... and it's quite sad.

it breaks my heart, not just for the fact that you might leave but that very thought of you struggling... hopefully we can make things work out. thanks for all you do . Love you Steph!

Steph you have changed me for the better! I couldn't even go into words what you and your videos do for me. You will always will be in my heart. Thank you! ❤

This was the absolute, most real, informative and humbling explanation and video, I have seen regarding this matter. I am not surprised by you, as you never cease to Amaze Me, but I am Proud of you. Very Proud. Look out for me on patreon 💟 I don't comment often, but this touched me so much. I adore you and I will most certainly help in any and every way possible. 🌻

love you Steph!!! Been watching you forever... wishing you all the best!!!

You are such an amazing person, and your videos are so amazing. I am so so sorry this is happening.

I will do whatever it takes steph !! Ur an amazing inspiration to so many and helped millions so I will do what I can for all of u x

OMG NO I'M GONNA CRY

Steph, you have helped me more than you could possibly know. i love you sooooo sooo much, lady!

It stinks that this is happening :( I hope you're doing okay, and that they ACTUALLY fix this whole restrictions BS! Stay strong ❤

ElloSteph, you are one of the first GLBT KZfaqr's I started watching. You inspire me to be more like me. Thank you for everything you've done in your videos. If KZfaq keeps doing this to the GLBT community I will not stop complaining and it will decrease me watching KZfaq videos all together!

I was 12 when I found your KZfaq at 2am after a night of tears and watching as many coming out videos as possible to try to wrap my head and heart around who I am and how I feel. I found yours of all of them the most appealing and I loved the way you made me feel like I had a friend at a time when I so desperately needed one. I remember seeing one and undercover of darkness was playing in the background I think it was something about the type of girls your like a Q&A type video and that video helped me tremendously throughout my coming out process I would play it on a loop hoping that I'd have the courage to come out until I eventually just did. You helped me through so much and so many others. I wish KZfaq would fix these things that are harming the people I look up to. If you do leave we understand and hope you have an amazing time on whatever is next for you in life. But I really hope it doesn't come to that. Regardless, thank you. Thank you for always being there for me and countless others. Thank you.

i want to say thank you. you have helped me accept myself and come out. I wish you all the best, and hope youtube stops this nonesense

Don't leave!! I just found your channel!!

Well ellosteph you could always get a march together with others at KZfaq headquarters

Have you thought about going on minds? Or starting your own website? I don't know how minds works advertising wise, but I know a lot of people I follow have created accounts there.

They took the restriction off xx 💖 please don't leave! 😘

This is so sad for so many reasons. Steph is one of my favorite KZfaqrs and I'd really really hate to see her go. Also, if KZfaq is really as hostile an environment as it seems right now, I wonder if the platform will even be around long enough for small channels like mine to even have a chance to build a community. 😔

tbh Steph is the nicest person I have ever see on youtube 👏👏👏

i was so happy, and seeing this made me so so sad (like, really sad) I don't even know what to say, i'm just rambling. I love you Steph 💓

this hurts me , Bria & Chrissy and now Steph. KZfaq is literally what helped me come out. I love you & I hope things get better 😭❤️

This makes me really sad. I understand why you are leaving but you have helped me in so many ways.

Just know we still love and support you. Good-luck Steph, we love you
