The Darris closing YT channel because of unacceptable comments etc. Not really sure of the specifics but pretty sad if a pretty niche channel can’t be immune to this kind of BS.

Afflatus.It sure is sad. Great reviews by my book. Which makes me think :
What was his last review, please? I'm sure I saw it but I cant seem to remember...
Yeah, it's really a shame.
I just don't understand it. Time after time, reviews and sample news are posted by Samples Spotlight, Audio Spotlight, SampleCast and Sample library review... and they just drop off the page without any comments.
I thought everyone in this forum loved information about the newest libraries, but if that's the case, there's surely very little interest.
It also seems that SampleCast stopped putting out new videos, so it's getting harder and harder to find any videos of new sample libraries, other than the ones by the devs themselves, which is a real shame IMO.
I understand that sometimes enough is enough - especially on internet if one has to deal with unacceptable comments etc. Nevertheless: this is 'too bad', because Samples Spotlight was my favourite site for sample library reviews.The Darris closing YT channel because of unacceptable comments etc.
I don´t know his channel and I actually don´t watch much of these reviews. But man..closing because of some YT comments? I find that hilarous. There are always people who disagree and use heavy words. Sure that is not nice, but fuck that shit. Just be yourself, do what you like and fuck the rest. If you in public release videos especially on YT you have to expect that not everbody is nice, we are not in a perfect world. I don´t say that this is cool, but at least you should be aware of that. So at least I would care a flying f. Just ignore those comments. Get a thicker skin, I would say. I know it is not easy but in the end you get stronger. In the end you do those people a favor. Do you want that? I doubt. Thats their goal that you stop doing what you love.
I agree with Alexander. In the end, it's "sticks and stones". It's just words on YouTube. Any idiot out there can type those into a comment box. Don't stop doing something you like because someone might type a few nasty characters. The only thing even less interesting or relevant than people's asinine blathering is people's asinine typing.
Don't know what happend here, but it's sad to hear.
Most youtubers don't talk about the full extend of the kind of harassment they get behind the scenes, things can get much worse than "a few mean comments". Like e.g. death/rape threats to members of your family/friends/bandmembers, fraudulent accusations of criminal activities made against you, leading to raids or SWATtings...
These are all things that youtubers have reported happening to them.
And the youtube algorithm is fine-tuned to spoon feed your videos to every mentally ill-adjusted troll because they have "high engagement" because they literally can't stop themselves from watching the full video and commenting on it.
Alex, imagine the dude that put so much effort into making the troll video about you, had instead put the same amount of effort into terrorizing your parents irl. You'd probably have a harder time just shaking that off. Some things you just can't ignore.
You should maybe read his explaination in his comments on his Youtube page. It seems there were threats made against his wife/family.Martin, I agree. But I assumed from what I heard and read here that he decided to close his channel because of rude comments? Is that the case? Or not? Of course you can come with many assumptions but as long as it comes to troll comments on YT I would not close my reviewing channel just because some people are showing up telling somebody how douchy they find the reviews.

Who the hell threatens a guy's family over sample library reviews?!
Hmm.... I feel like caving to trolls or rude people just encourages them more. I get negative comments on my YT from time to time. I just either ignore them or troll them back by being nice (which is unexpected I guess) or having a snarky comment.The Darris closing YT channel because of unacceptable comments etc. Not really sure of the specifics but pretty sad if a pretty niche channel can’t be immune to this kind of BS.
Not everyone gets the same level of abuse and not everyone has the same level of tolerance for it. I understand where you are coming from, and kudos to you if you won't budge to a few trolls, but you really can't put that blame/burden on others. I'd cut my losses on an endeavour like this in a heartbeat if it stressed me out too much. The last thing I'd wanna hear then is well-meaning people like you rubbing it in further.Hmm....
