Dodie Clark, known as “Doddleoddle” on Youtube, recently posted a video on her vlog channel “doddlevloggle” on February 26 responding to the articles that focus directly on the negative aspects of the Youtube community rather than the positivity it has produced. Dodie begins with no time to spare and hits the youtube bashers immediately. She says “dear media, stop playing into the relatable hatred of youtube.” She then elaborates on the demeaning aspects that media writes about rather than the beneficial movements they have sparked within the community.

She touches on the purpose of the negative articles written: the views. She says “I get it, clicks right? It’s about them views… which headline is going to bring more traffic to you?” She questions as to which would gain more traffic to said articles: positive or negative. She notes how the community of YouTube has so many different topics that the writers could focus on instead of the inappropriate things that they do. She questions as to why they would focus on such things instead of the immense changes that the creators have influenced among such large audiences. She notes how the negativity they continue to pursue has become a tired subject all about society and says “mark my words, the world favors love and kindness.”

In this blunt video response from Dodie, she stands up for the community and voices the concerns and complaints that every individual who expresses themselves on YouTube seem to have. Dodie highlights specific shifts that YouTube creators have caused within their audience members such as spreading confidence among young girls and their acne struggles, as well as the new found roaming of individuals in new artistic exploration. It’s clear throughout this video that Dodie feels so strongly against the hatred and the bashing that YouTubers get every single day. She feels that the community should be empowered, and inclined to continue in their outstanding movements they have unconsciously created.
