I'm so sorry to hear you are getting this garbage from others, I echo what others have said, like you are getting known so that indicates progress, also "consider the source" - trolls in their basement... if you'd never listen to them or take them seriously in a coffee shop line, maybe the same could apply here? Also something that sometimes people do not know is that YouTube measures engagement, not the approval or disapproval, so more comments equals YouTube boosts, as YT thinks correctly that people are staying longer on your channel. So these weirdos are in a sense helping, although I wouldn't provoke them by " thanking them" 😀 I looked at your channel and it is great! Great content, well edited, great colour and flow and good sound. I think there will be a lot of people who will subscribe and really get something from your channel!
