I wish we could start teaching that the internet is designed to have the most controversial and extreme opinions get the most attention. It needs to be universally understood so that we don't raise generations of kids who think that you either have to absolutely love something to death, or despise it and burn it to the ground. Thanks for the great stuff as always nathan

This is a great video. I'm fascinated by the way we form opinions about things that we haven't actually seen or read or listened to; The Big Bang Theory would be a good example of that for me. (One that hits closer to home for me: I feel like a lot of people who haven't actually read The Fault in Our Stars have an opinion on The Fault in Our Stars.) I think you're absolutely right that the focus of creative work has to be on finding fulfillment within the work itself. I really, really enjoyed this video. Gave me a lot to think about. Thanks. -John

This dude is the most consistently level-headed, open-minded, self-aware and introspective creator on this whole platform and I really appreciate it.

opinions are like cooking. i hated broccoli. absolutely disgusting. but then my friend taught me a different way of cooking broccoli. now it's my favorite vegetable. you gotta cook your opinions differently to like them. i don't remember where i was going with this.

[gastllyxo]

Bro remember Rebecca Black? Everyone hated that poor child for NO SOLID REASON

[BestKazooist]

This video actually made me realize just how much I care about other people's opinions and how much I really shouldn't. Honestly, thank you for this video bro. I feel like a different person.

[rafipuff]

is it just me or has Nathan become more iconic than ever recently

Twitter is a really depressing place most of the time.
We have to remember that it's a loud minority, not the majority.

I've been recently trying to stop myself from immediately reading youtube comments of a video before I've watched it bec I could feel myself just watching the video solely from the point of view of that comment I read before the video loads. I could feel my brain getting exhausted from carrying all the different opinions from everywhere and having none of mine at all. Also Nathan you are so cute thankyou

I've definitely noticed how fast people switch on an artist once they become popular/mainstream. It's weird to me that people feel they can only enjoy an artist while they're still "underrated."

[b.allamedia]

when I stopped judging the shows, movies, music, etc. that I consumed & just started the fact that I enjoyed them, life became a lot more fun

[ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ]

I feel like the love-hate cycle has more to do with people wanting to distinguish their "Self" from other people. If everyone loves/hates something, there's always those who have to publicly state they think differently just to stand out. Then the opposite opinion becomes the new "cool" opinion until too many people share the same sentiment and people feel the urge to stand out again.

[ALZulas]

I prefer to tell people that something "isn't for me". Just because I don't like something, doesn't mean other people can't like it. There are literally billions of people in the world. If they all liked the same stuff, then life would be hella boring.

Great topic! I think you frequently do a good job expressing things people are feeling but they might not be good at articulating.

[mirjamk]

changing your opinion should be considered normal and healthy, not like you’re giving something up or losing somehow. It’s a very strange kind of pride that makes us cling to the convictions of younger, dumber versions of us. it’s okay, you’re allowed to grow.

[Roamwithstyleblog]

This is so accurate. Even the fact that I go straight to the comment section before finishing a video these days is an example of this. Great perspective.

this topic is the main reason why i deleted my twitter account! i noticed that every time i would see those viral tweets that get so many likes and retweets that disagree with something that i genuinely enjoy or liked, i'd say to myself, "oh wait..maybe that *thing* is actually trash" and i got tired of always wanting to jump on the bandwagon and following what other people say about certain things. i became exhausted.

i feel so much better now that i deleted my twitter. it's so important to have a sense of identity, being content with what you like, and staying grounded in what you value in life and what your beliefs are.

remember to take a break from social media every once in a while. it really do be messing with your head lol

[houston-coley]

Every time there’s a massive Twitter controversy about something, I try to write some kind of blog post to express and formulate my thoughts about the issue - but without fail, by the time I’m actually confident in what I’ve written, the Twitterverse has moved past the entire conversation and it’s not even worthy to post.

[brody]

Some people care way too much about having good "taste" that they don't just stop and enjoy things

[StarShiningTail]

I always think of this quote from Angela Carter - "Reading a book is like re-writing it for yourself. You bring to a novel, anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history and you read it in your own terms."
You're always growing and changing all the time, it's no wonder your opinions change all the time too

[OCAnnaMaria]

"i used to not even like me. not gonna lie i still have a hard time with me... we don't get along" that hit me hard
love your content!!!
