How do you deal with trolls?
When my page was new it was so fun and light hearted. So many nice people! Now that my page has been taking off and I’m having viral videos I’m getting so many miserable people in my comments. It’s so draining.
I’ve never done any type of content creation so I’m not used to having people be rude to me over the internet (or just in general lol). It’s something to get used to for sure. I spend so much time making these videos and get so excited to post them. Then get a handful of negative people under them. I don’t even post controversial content. It’s mostly day in the life vlogs and videos of my cats but someone always finds something to say.
I was super defensive at first and would fight back with them but realized it wasn’t good for my mental health. I know even bad comments are engagement, but now I’ve started deleting them. I know if my page really takes off I won’t be able to avoid this and trolls will be trolls. Having a thick skin is something I think all content creators need to learn to develop when they share their life online.
For a newbie learning how to navigate this all, how did/do you deal with trolls?
