Your sad yet empowering story touched my heart, Aiden. Thank you for writing this story reflecting upon your experiences with YouTube. I also read similar stories from many YouTubers who faced animosity from Fake accounts, making dislike attacks. I wrote a story about it in 2021 when Google wisely decided to stop dislike attacks.

Your story can inspire aspiring YouTubers to focus on a balanced life rather than focusing on fame, virality, and vanity matrices. I wish you and your loved ones a Happy New Year. This is a beautiful present to our readers on Medium.
