So like on a daily basis, I will get like around maybe 100 to 200 hate mails from the haters. Yeah. So they will tell me, "Hey, go die. You know, you are supposed to die in a car accident." Yeah. "I hope the nuclear comes and bomb your country," or something like that. You know, so you get a lot like, so I get on average like about 100 to 150 of those. On my comments. So, but instead of— How many good ones are there? Thousands. Yeah, but instead of replying them with hate, so a lot of people, especially like the new YouTubers, when they receive like messages like that, then they will reply like, "Fuck you," or "Screw you," or something like that. But for me, instead of replying with hate, I chose to reply with love. You know, it's a very music thing. Of course, we're in Rave too. So yeah, so I told them, oh yeah, you, you must be having a bad day. Yeah, let me give you a hug, you know, something like that. Then wow, they're like, wow, I didn't expect a reply from you, blah blah blah. And then, and then from hating, they turn into like becoming a fan, you know what I mean? So yeah. So which I think is very good, because that's the YouTube algorithm. You gotta please your fans. Yeah. That's amazing. Beautiful.
