YouTube Creators see a lot of sad times online
The more people you know the more you see and it saddens a person... Death is Always a hard subject and when you choose to be a creator on YouTube or any Social Media Platform. REMEMBER You are connecting and if you really care. You get to know people and see their posts and such on facebook, Flickr, Pintrest etc. When someone Passes away... What happens to their account? I have seen many things and some remain as a Tribute one man I know still gets touching posts like 5 years after he passed and It make me remember him and all the good times.. I knew him for about 10 years prior Offline. My point here is I meet MANY People some for a instant some for a hour and many of those become my friends on Facebook and other places. SO I see whats Happening in their life. In this Particular instance BO Who I met doing a Review of the "FREE CANDY" Van I KNOW is one of the most Avid Bike riders I know. Its a Regular thing.... I enjoy his posts because it makes me want to do better and get my ass to the Gym..;-)
OK So here I am editing the Free Candy Van Video and I had Behind the Scenes Footage I found on my G+ That Google Auto Uploaded and Backed up.. SOOO I was Looking At the Video in a Open Window on my computer when I saw Bo Post His wife was in hospital then a few hours later that she had passed away.... WOW I am looking at her on my screen.. Sad just Sad... My heart goes out to Bo and as odd as it may sound someone I only Met in person once REALLY can have a effect on a person. The Social Media end makes it A lot more personal it seems and ANY Creator that Grows Subscribers, Likes, Friends online etc. It does present a issue... Do you "Like" the post... MY GOD that's a hard one you KNOW this person is at one of the most Challenging times possible and You don't really know if you should Comment or not... Especially if you are just some Random idiot like me that makes videos.
So What should you do?

| | To Comment or Like or NOT that is the Question... I say Comment just be careful depending on how well you know them... I have for instance told someone they were in My Prayers and Offended them... NOT wanting to in any way.. I felt Awful.. To "LIKE" The Status... Well... Use your own opinion But I 99% of the time will NOT "LIKE" a Sad Status... I do Comment because If we are connected I Care and dig them or I would not be connected in the first place! |
I do not know how long Bo and Linda were together (a long time tho) I do know this. For about a Hour and a Half as I "Crashed" Their Dinner they Invited me in Offered me drink and We talked cars dogs Computers and much more. What I saw was a Couple that were just made for each other. Complete each other sentences CHECK... It was just so Obvious the love... A Great Couple.
This leaves me and this Video... Like I say I had the Behind the Scenes Footage and wanted to use it to send Bo... Yes its just Goofy Behind the Scenes and I hope that I in no way offend Bo by sending him this (AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT LIKING OR COMMENTING WHY DO I HANG THIS OUT THERE AT A TIME LIKE THIS??
I dunno... If I could see Video of My close friends and Family that have passed I would want that option and I want Bo to know that they impressed me and that for me Linda was a super nice person and I am Glad to have met them. My Thoughts and Prayers are with him!

Death on Social Media ~ Tribute ~ Dealing With Loss of people you Know Online
Death on Social Media ~ Tribute ~ Dealing With Loss of people you Know Online on Facebook YouTube etc www.hipstercars.com while I was visiting some friends in Spokane and got to see some cool stuff and meet some cool people and dog lovers.I actually filmed a car review here and afterwards hung out and talked for almost another hour. When I was editing this Video I messaged to ask for a Original Picture of the Free Candy Van and within hours Bo's wife Had a seizure or stroke and Passed away a short time later. I was JUST Editing the video!!! So I split them up and Used the behind the scenes stuff here with a intro to send to Bo just Video Of him and Linda and I hope it maybe helps other creators here on Youtube Because this sort of thing is Sad and will make a guy stop and think.. And the more Subscribers and Friends you meet the more it happens it seems..;-(
