Overly Attached Girlfriend Officially Quits YouTube

[Woolley]

While this is about her quitting YouTube, it is mostly about her dealing with her mental health. While I didn't watch her content I just felt like this video was really powerful and her sharing her experience might possible help others. I hope everything works out for her.

Saw this earlier on Reddit. Thought the ending montage was really powerful. Goes to show how one little thing going "viral" (at least in the older days) can take you to so many places.

As is fairly often here, click the title as embedding rarely works here.

I mean I'm sure she enjoys being attached to a rather negative meme

 

[Border]

It sounds like she has already been done with it for a long time. I didn't realize she had such a big following.

 

[davepoobond]

she hasn't really made anything for long periods of time, decided to sort of "soft relaunch" the channel then didn't do much after a few videos.

i found out she had a channel like way late in the game, so didnt really see "current" content. though, it was mostly the bloggy sort of stuff and im not exactly into that sort of content :🤷:

will have to watch the video later.

 

[oneils]

Depression is a killer. I hope she gets some relief.

 

[ch4534532]

is she quitting the whole e-celeb thing, or just not using that platform anymore?

Not sure, but I hope she finds some peace.

 

[rafiki]

haven't seen any of her video, have only saw it in meme lol

 

[shaneo632]

Sounds like she's making the right move, I hope this is cathartic for her. I can't imagine how stressful being a YouTuber at that level must be. And yeah, accepting you can get mental health help from medication isn't easy.

 

[julia crawford]

Damn, super hard to watch :/ the old videos are really strong.

Hope she find her peace.

 

[Deleted member 46948]

Haven't watched her stuff before, only knew about her from the memes, but this was a good video. Hope she gets better.

Important video. Like with the recent Ariana Grande message it's so important young people understand mental health problems aren't a sign of weakness or something to be ashamed of.

 

[iAmPossum]

Fame isn't for everyone. Godspeed, Oag.

 

[LL_Decitrig]

Ugh. I clicked on the link and suddenly my "up next" is populated by a video with a Pepe meme and some tripe from a Jordan Peterson fan. I never see this stuff normally. I really quickly decided I don't want to watch the video.

It's nearly half an hour long anyway. What happened to blog posts? Who has 30 minutes to spend on a single talking head stumbling and umming through an unscripted talk? Just give me the words.

Thanks for shitting up the thread I guess?

Anyway, watched the vid. Important message and a really interesting view into how different the public and private personas of creators can be. Maintaining a public face like that must be exhausting.

 

[tommy7154]

How does it feel to be broken up with by OAG she said. It stung a little.

Good video.

 

[Z-Beat]

Yeah I saw this pop up a bit earlier. At first I was confused because she'd been gone for around a year so I'd assumed she'd already quit. The stuff about her dealing with depression and struggling to convince herself that she needed help hit pretty close to home and I'm glad she got the help she needed.

I mean I'm sure she enjoys being attached to a rather negative meme

Click to shrink...

She started the meme herself (one of the few to do so) and continued it with her YouTube series so I don't think that was the whole problem.


Sometimes you wonder what became of all these old meme people. I know Boxxy was hosting on a nature channel for a while then became a voice actress for a Disney show or something. Tay Zonday (Chocolate Rain) kept releasing music. Smosh (that pokemon karaoke video) is some kind of super YouTube empire.

 

[NO!R]

She seems like a genuinely good and positive person, despite her struggles. Rare for a YouTuber.

 

[swift-darius]

man. bringing up bad memories. I've been there...
she seems like a really friendly and nice person, and I wish her the best going forward. I think she made the right choice - doing the whole youtube thing when you're not feeling it, and at such a large scale too, seems dreadful. pure pressure and anxiety. good on her

Which is a damn shame.

You hear all sorts of stuff, "its not natural", people afraid they'll just get turned into a zombie, etc.

Psychiatric medicine isn't always perfect but it can save lives sometimes, it certainly did mine.

Yea, why can't people talk about their dealing with depression be contained in a simple 2 min video?

People that care. It's clear from the other thread you have trouble seeing past yourself when it comes to wider issues and things people face.

 

[Banzai]

I remember some of her videos and her trying to turn her 15 minutes of fame into giving to charities and stuff. Good person, hope she'll be alright.

Those unreleased videos are pretty tough to watch

The person of the channel is openly discussing their mental health and explaining why she is ending the channel.

Pretty fucking braindead response from you

I didn't even know she was still around.

Better to do what's better for her.

I didn't get to the point where she discussed anything. I'm not complaining about the content, but this style of unrehearsed, unscripted video is a nightmare. It's not the person either. It's the format. How did this stupid fashion start?

But it's not just unscripted talking. She provides videos from her personal video diary showing her highs and her crashes and her reluctance to get the help she needs. It's not one long speech.

Braindead? There are valid points of discussion there. If they was responding directly to OAG I'm sure their tone would be different.

Oh, I didn't know this was typical behavior. Nevermind, then.

Ah yes, the most vital discussion of derailing a thread cause of a rant on video blogs

Wish her the best.

I know she donated a lot, she seems like a genuinely good person.

It's tied to monetization, channels don't get ad revenue from embedded views, so they block the ability to view from externally

Great. Do you know what? I don't know this because I didn't get beyond the unscripted, unrehearsed umms and ahs in the beginning. I'm beginning to sound like an old man (which I literally am) yelling at a cloud (which it is, in the modern tech jargon sense). So there's that. I've made Simpsons meme status.

This is really inappropriate behavior in a thread about a person who's talking about their mental health.

Congratulations on being super insensitive to an actual issue because you can't get beyond the format, just like every other fucking boomer.

You're a self-absorbed 60+yo that likes to romanticize sex with teenagers, dismiss concerns of abuse and talk about how beautiful young bodies are. Why you think anyone gives a fuck about your inability to care for the issues of others is beyond me, because it's been more than apparent for awhile.

 

[FantaSoda]

She is genuinely such a great person. Like super humble, witty and (like many others have pointed out) donated to a ton of charities. It is important to point out that she isn't saying that her internet celebrity caused her depression. She was already struggling with it and the toxicity of the internet doesn't help. I've followed her for a while and I think one of the things that really sucked the joy out of making videos was that she couldn't do anything online without getting all of these hyper sexual comments.

She often spoke on her videos about this and how disappointing it was to spend time making something for an audience and without fail she would have to spend time curating her comments because everyone kept talking about her sexually.

Ah, so you're choosing to shit up a thread by complaining about something you didn't actually watch. You are an old man...annoying others with unneeded and misinformed criticisms.

 

[Shizuka]

I feel really, really bad for her. This is a really serious issue, I've met a few people with severe depression and it's something not to be joked about or taken lightly. Do seek help if you think or believe you need help.
