Moving Forward. (Regarding KPOP)

Love you Cait, it's always good to try new things. 🫶🏻

Jose

My heart did break a little as your videos were seriously getting me through a rough deployment, however I will always support you in any way possible. Deciding to keep my patreon sub was the best decision I ever made. Please please do whats best for you and stay healthy🫶

Baby I’m so happy for you!!! You need to put you first! We will support you no matter what you do❤️🫧

Nikki Martini

I finally got to a place where I can support you on Patreon again and I fully stand by your decision. Sometimes, you need to prioritize yourself. I will be here either way for you. Your energy is amazing and you brighten my day so much and wanted to show that you mean a lot and have helped me through a lot.

I used to be on Patreon and then I lost my job and had to cut so much expenses and had to drop my subscription, but I came back to continue to support you here. I am so glad you are doing all of this to better protect your mental health. Ultimately that is what matters most. I'm so proud of you.

Alyssa

Do whatever makes you feel good we will support you either way 🧡

Nana Ashimaru

I don't ever comment but I feel like need to this time. I applaud your courage to take a step back and but yourself first. I hope this step back helps you heal and find joy in what you do ❤️.

Ashley Nicole

i comment here and there but just wanted to say im so proud of you and your decision to keep your peace. reactors get too much smack and it doesn't help with everything going on with the industry right now.... makes it so unmotivating. sometimes we really gotta do what we need to and sometimes that truly means to step back from things as well.

Hi I never post on patreon at all but I have to now because I get how you feel . I have also stopped listening to K-pop and getting involved with voting or streaming for the groups that I Stan because i also lost my interest especially with all that has happened this year. There’s so much toxicity inside and outside of fandoms and nobody tries to get along which makes me sad. It has helped me a lot when I needed the most but now I don’t even enjoy the music like I used to 2 years ago. Everything has become a competition and it will get worse over time so I’m tired at this point.

Karla

Proud of you ❤️

We are looking forward to you getting back to enjoying reacting & having some fun in this space. HAPPY HOLIDAYS 🎄

if u make a gaming channel u should def play roblox 🤑🤑🤑

Brianna

Not gonna lie, my heart broke a little when I found out I couldn't rewatch my favourite reactions of yours for like the 1000th time but fully understand. Glad you're taking steps that are important for your own well-being Caitlin 🥰 take care always

Melly

Thank you again for sharing your opinion and how you feel, I really hope that you can find your spark back and I'm very excited what's coming :) and btw A GAMING CHANNEL WOULD BE SO COOL OMG

chungssi

i love you. Your Korean fan sends this to you.

ᄋᄋ ᄋ

Girl, I've watched your videos from the start and I was always super stressed out myself seeing your comment sections so I can't even imagine what it was like for you. I've definitely noticed your loss of enthusiasm over the past couple years so I definitely think this was the best move for you. Always take care of yourself.

Chris B.

Thank you so much. You are one of the best channels for me. Do what you love and I'm glad you stopped forcing yourself. ❤️

Joz

I totally get it. I used to be part of a large roleplaying writers community on the huge online social space, Second Life, & every day for ten whole years, I roleplayed there & loved every minute of it. But I’m autistic & have struggled with depression & anxiety since my teens (I’m 43 now). And I found myself starting to lose my passion for it about a year ago. I made the hard decision to stop roleplaying & I deleted the SL app & it’s been the best decision for me & my mental health. The kpop community can be really toxic, as can all online social spaces, so do what’s best for you & your health. I’m just happy to tag along for the ride, for however long ya drivin’ the bus 😂☺️ Also, love the idea of a gaming channel, as I’m a HUGE gamer nerd myself so it will be fun to see you dive into some great games. 🤟🏻

Lora B

We’re so proud of you Caitlin, take your time and do whatever makes you happy. We will still support you no matter what. And i think that your gaming channel idea is a great idea to get your mind off all the stress, just have fun. Take care Caitlin💗

RAINEeee

I/We understand completely how toxic some are with all the negativity and all. It's super okay! We are willing to wait and we'll support you! Sending hugs and love with consent 🤍

Kylie

I love your reactions like you're so real with them and I absolutely respect your decision to choose peace! Trying to react to so many groups and artists because people expect you to when you've lost interest in it is stressful and sounds miserable. Fandoms really have been making kpop spaces more toxic these days on every social media platform. I'm just trying to enjoy my interests but others in the community are ruining it with their constant negativity it's so mentally draining and it shouldn't be like that. I wish everyone would just focus on their faves, ignore and don't talk about what they dislike and stop being mean to strangers online over music! Thank you for your hard work, Caitlin! You made a lot of people happy with your content and hope your plans go well and that you'll be happier!

VS95

Proud of you take care of you mentally health it’s so important. Kpop can definitely become a toxic place for me right now it toxic shippers especially Taekook and jikook there’s always toxic Taekookers saying something bad about jimin and toxic jikooker saying something horrible about Taehyung and both hate from both sides are for no reason other than to hate and I’m trying to get out of the toxic YouTube space when it comes to Taekook and jikook I’m sure it’s the same the other toxic kpop fandoms and shippers but those are the ones for me right now cause I’m a Taekooker but I love all 0T7 members equally and it there choice who they end up with even if it’s a women. I think I’m just going to stick to my fanfics about Taekook and yoonmin namjin ect and not look at any more toxic YouTube shipping accounts cause it’s hard to stop once your in the rabbit hole of shipping with kpop I personally feel

Tia Farleigh

I’m so sorry to hear everything you are going through! You are an amazing person and you deserve to enjoy music the way you choose. I look forward to your future reactions, when you WANT to react. Not because you feel like you have to. ❤️❤️

Kalie

You do what's best for you, Caitlin ❤️

로리 Lori

I am so proud of you! Your mental health should ALWAYS come first! And I applaud you for taking the steps you needed to for YOU! Because it is definitely not easy so I totally feel you on that! I look forward to watch you bloom in this next chapter. 💙💙💙💙

Joniesha Williams

(sorry I’m late but) SO PROUD OF YOU!! I know this wasn’t an easy decision but I’m so glad to hear you say “I chose myself”! As someone much older, believe me when I say, the sooner you learn to lookout for YOU the better. Life gets much simpler after that ❤️

Kacy W

Youtube as a whole is incredibly toxic. If you ever react to K-Pop again, you should definitely just put it out in the universe and never look at the comment section, not even once. But otherwise, I'm enjoying the content here 🙂

Jay K03

love you caitlin🫶 love that you're choosing what's best for you and moving forward by your own rules. we are all still here because we think you are amazing and we love everything you put out for us! i literally fell in love with your energy over on youtube, and i'm going to stick with you over here too. you could do whatever and i would still support you❤️

liv

I am so happy for you, because I know how hard is to make the decision to put youself first and leave something that meant a lot, but that ultimatly was doing more harm than good. I know you'll feel so much better as time goes on!

Sofia Duran Cruzat

Although there's already many comments and I'm a bit late to this post, I just wanted to say that I'm so happy that you chose yourself! Of course I love watching your reactions, but I'll only really be able to enjoy them if you are enjoying yourself too :) I hope you're doing well, and please do keep choosing yourself and your happiness!! <3

krissyyy

Respect your decision. Not that you care but sometimes while waiting for you to upload new content i just go back and watch your old videos reacting to my favourite artists. This is how much i love and respect your opinion and reactions on the videos. I hope you continue to upload here.

Sharan Hayer

You’re definitely doing the right thing. But yeah, the kpop community as a whole has been so horrible and disgusting it genuinely makes me sick. And I’m glad you’re putting yourself first above all!

J.B.

It sounds like you are absolutely doing the right thing for you, and we're here for it! At the end of the day I am here to catch a glimpse of the world through your eyes because I find you hilarious, down-to-earth, relatable, engaging, surprising and unapologetic in a healthy way. As excited as I might get to share a new R&B or Hip Hop crush with you once in a blue moon, my reason for coming back is I just share many similar tastes in music and shows as you, you make me laugh even when life throws a punch, and I have enjoyed getting to know you through what you share. So...do your thing!

Gina ODierno

“ I chose myself “ YESSS AS YOU SHOULD QUEEN , I’ll always support you <3

§

I've noticed a lot of kpop reactors have slowed down on reactions or stopped for a while on YT. Kpop has definitely became more toxic and I have been a Kpop fan since 2nd Gen. Just do you girl.

Nancy Lo

thank you caitlin, for sharing your genuine thoughts with us❤ wish you all the best!

范德米尔

You are doing the right thing to take care of yourself! While I'm sad I won't get to see your reactions again, I am happy you have made a decision that feels right for you and allows you to take care of yourself. As I said before, I am so proud of you and all you have created, and it was such a blessing to meet you at ateez's concert in August. I hope to maybe see you again sometime when they come around! If ever you decide to come back we will be here <3 and of course I will continue to support you in whatever ways I can. <3 And I love you doing gaming! I'm a huge gamer I think you'd have so much fun

Kit Zerin

Makes me sick to think you start something with so much passion but because of bunch of mf that have nothing best to do with their lives to bring someone so down that they lost all shine for what they love… I’m sad obviously about your channel being done but I’m one million times more happy that it felt relieving for you. One’s self well being is the most important thing, you should be more selfish when it comes to your well being, it’s the only thing you should never be ashamed of for being selfish. Hope my message is well reached since I’m not an English speaker and that I make sense. Really thank you for all you do we love you Cait

Haiz

Thank you so much for everything Caitlin. We'll always be here for you ❤️

_ya2x

Oh my god yes, gaming with caitlin! I'm so glad you're taking a step back for yourself and I'm very excited for the changes to come.

Lu

Hey Caitlin, your well-being & happiness should come first, so I am happy that you choose yourself, even if it was a hard decision. I can understand that you don’t want to explain yourself to anyone all the time, just because you have a different opinion on stuff. I would like to take this as an opportunity to say thank you for all the content you have given us over the last couple of years. As far as I am concerned you have always showed respect for all groups you reacted to and towards your viewers. I am a bit sad that I can’t go back to rewatch certain reactions, because I always felt like I was watching it with a friend and your videos could always lighten up a bad day. And your channel helped me to navigate through the jungle of groups and for getting to know more and some became favs of me. Take all the time you need and do what you want to do for a change! We will be here for you! 🫶🏻

Apanatchi

I just want to say that I’m so proud of you for taking this step of choosing yourself. You did very well. I know it took a lot of courage for you to share this to people you don’t know personally. I got to be honest the only thing I’m sad about is that I wouldn’t be able to rewatch your kpop-related contents. But other than that, I’m happy that you’re finally doing what you enjoy. So much fun watching you enjoy what you love to do without any pressure. As I’ve said before, don’t worry your right audience will find you. :)

Eliora

I'm so glad, you are choosing yourself, Caitlin!

Kirsten Robinson

Take care Caitlin !💗

fried calamari

Caitlin, your health should ALWAYS come first! I know I don't even know you personally, but I am so proud of you for doing what YOU think is best for YOU at this moment! I'm not gonna lie, I was devastated when I found out you hid your channel, as I have always gone back to your reactions to brighten my bad days, but I am so much happier knowing that you made this decision for YOURSELF and YOURSELF only!! I do really hope that you can public your channel again eventually, even if you don't post on it, because I would literally watch your reactions (esp NCT) over and over and never get bored! But, again, YOUR happiness and health is wayyy more important and I can enjoy what you have here on Patreon as well so take your time, girl! And if you do decide what's best for you is to never put the channel back up, DO NOT feel bad! So many of us will be here to support you, either way! I have had my fair share of burning out on kpop. Honestly, I don't interact much in fandoms or anything, and I still get exhausted sometimes. I'm even at a point now where the only groups I keep up with are my ults (literally only SKZ and NCT Dream), bc any more and I feel like I would explode. If I can barely handle 2 groups' content (privately) sometimes I can't imagine what it'd be like to have to react (publicly) to so many! I seriously have so much respect for you that you were even able to go on for as long as you have! I really, really hope that you can find that genuine joy and spark back again! Kpop can def be toxic but there are so many amazing parts to it as well! I'll def be here cheering you on! Happy Holidays and take care of yourself, always!!

Lunabug2004

Take care of yourself. We'll be here when (and if) you decide to come back. 💐🦊💜

Tatush

Hi Caitlin, I've been a member of your Patreon since November 2023, and I only watch BTS contents, so most of the time when I see your updates and uploads I don't check them out, since most of the time it won't been a BTS related video (since they are in ms). I honestly have no idea how you kept up with this many groups and combacks and live stages and variety shows, BTS alone keeps me so busy, I really admire you but I can also clearly see how it's been burning you out since forever ago. I remember the first time I saw your reaction and how excited you were reacting to kpop, the energy and happiness you had, it made watching you really fun and entertaining. I hope you find that spark and excitement again, kpop as a community is very toxic so I've been very much removed from the space lol. Happy holidays and hope you stay healthy!!

Adara

I'm so happy that you put yourself first Caitlin. Your mental health and happiness is what's most important. Thank you for all that you have shared with us over these past few years. All your hard work has not gone unnoticed and has brought so much joy to so many. Be proud of yourself! Take care and remember that we will always be here for you! 🤍

Michelle 🤍

You take of yourself first caitlin. 💜 I've been there too where kpop has gotten too exhausting. Definitely if you see something you want to react to or even share drop it here on patreon . You don't need to react to every single thing they come out with. It's really impossible especially with the amount of groups you watch . I know this has been hard on you for a long time whether to take a break or not from kpop. 2025 is your year caitlin 🥰 I hope this transition helps you find your happiness and girl I miss your vlogs you know I loved them.

Joy

Graceeeee Ms. Girl! We want the best for you Caitlin. So excited for you. You have my love and support through it all *internet hug*💓💓✨✨

thatssolee_

Your fans cherish that you are relateable and authentic, as a reactor and as a person! Excited for you and can’t wait to see all the new things you will try!

Rachel

nothing but grace and understanding for you caitlin 🫶🏼 we just want what’s best for you!

Aisha Alwarid

Feeling like you are losing passion for something you really love is such a scary and sad feeling

Wayventhusiast

As someone who's been listening to Kpop for so long it does feel good to kind of step back and be a casual listener every once in awhile. I know we'll all support you through wherever you decide to take this patreon. Don't worry girl if it's not bringing you joy take a step back.

Mary Higgins

It’s like Marie kondo said, if it no longer sparks joy then you don’t need to keep it around, you might come back to it you might not, that’s fine

Wayventhusiast

We understand Caitlin, and if you are really feeling that way then you should not force yourself to do it and move away from toxic things that will cause mental breakdown for you. I just want to say thank you, because you are one of those persons that made my pandemic era less heavy, your videos made me feel happy during those times. I will just be here watching your movies/tv show reactions :)

JayCeeXO

i feel terrible that we couldn’t do more. i’m so sorry you felt that way and genuinely i just want you to be happy. i’ve been a subscriber since your first NCT and EXO reactions and i can’t explain how much happiness and joy that’s brought into my life as well as others. even if we don’t get as much your happiness and mental health come before everything. u are so amazing and so strong for shouldering all of that stress by yourself. i have so much love and respect for you caitlin!

youyou

I love that you're growing a team to help you with your channel, not that your channel needs it - but just to take some of that load off of your back. I'm also very happy that you're still enjoying kpop on your own terms and in your own time.

Tristana Keauna

I hope this time away from K-pop reacting will be good for you. I will miss your reaction channel because you always made me laugh. But taking time to heal and step back from the toxicity of social media is a good thing. Yourself, your mental health, and well-being are incredibly important; you have to listen to how your mind and body are feeling. I have said this before but you have to do things that make you happy and to try and not please others because people are always going to want something for you. So if this is what you need the true and real people will back you up. I hope you find fun on your other channel!

Chynna Williams

I'm glad you prioritized yourself this time! You don't have to do things like music + movie + series reaction all at the same time, sometimes just minimalize thing so it won't go overwhelmed. Don't worry about people being "don't you wanna try react to drama?" or "Try listen to their album, its soo good" or "Can you react to other variety show by this group?". Although deep down in me I would want you to take a break but the channel still there for me to rewatch the old reaction, BUT what most important is you. I couldn't bear to see you forcing yourself to keep going when you are not feeling it and its can be seen in some of recent video. I hope you find your joy back in reacting to kpop music soon just like when you first start reacting to kpop. You can take all the time you need; 3, 4, 5 months or even more than a year to recover and find that joy back again. We will miss you and all the funny edits in your video, the pause warning 😂, the slippers, the jump, the broken headphone and spectacles bcuz of your excitement seeing your bias or the music goes hard, and we will miss you the most seeing you freaking genuine happy. May all the positive energy be absorb by you, fully recovered and find yourself back. Take care Caitlin, we love you always. And as your patreon subsc, I would be happy for any content you wanna drop eventho its not my fav group as long as I see you feeling it🤍 You deserve all the love in the world.

creamsodamyra

💚 I already mentioned this in your earlier post this week but no matter what bubbles love you for you and support your endeavors and what you want to do. I dropped kpop from 2020 up until this year because of the same reasons, and it's genuinely refreshing seeing not only a cherished content creator acknowledge this problem, but then also put themselves and their health before this toxic environment. Do what makes YOU happy and what makes you HEALTHY. You making this decision is amazing, and Bubbles will be here for you along your new journey 💜💛💜💛💜

Rorie Ro

Proud of you for choosing yourself Caitlin!!

Regine S.

Good for you Caitlin!!!!! Choosing your own peace can be so hard but this is the best choice for YOU and that’s the main bit. I’m so happy you’re doing this for yourself for your own wellbeing and so you can love kpop on your own in your own time.

Gabbi

Haven't watched the video yet but judging on the comments, I feel you. It's rough being in the kpop space, I don't blame you one bit

Daniela V.

I’m really proud of you Caitlin!! You are such an inspiration and you being so transparent about how you feel is helpful to many people in many ways!! It’s so hard for us to truly pick ourselves sometimes and we sometimes get shamed for picking ourselves which is so toxic!! I know you probably won’t see this, but I really wanted to say this to you!! I hope you find your shine because you shine so brightly no matter what you’ve been through!! We love you 🩷🩷

✨mingi•on•anesthesia✨

As someone who has been with you for years and has seen you struggle with the toxicity in k-pop, I'm so proud of you for taking this step to put yourself first and protect your peace! I watch both your music and tv/film reactions and I can tell the difference in how you feel with them. You seem more free on the non-music reactions, and I hope limiting music reactions to the Patreon will let you feel just as free

Mel

Girl I support your decision all the way!! I completely understand how you are feeling, I love K-pop but the fandoms have become so toxic and I even had to sort of step back from fandoms and just enjoy my groups on my own and not feel the pressure of keeping up with everyone else and feel pressured. This is your channel so you do how you feel is the best for your channel and we will always be here to support you!! I found you when I first started listening to K-pop 2 years ago and you’ve always been the one creator I come back to for anything hence why I became a supporter here on Patreon to watch all your other content not related to K-pop. And doing a gaming channel would be so awesome! I’m a big gamer so it would be so much fun if you wanted to go that route! You focus on what you TRULY want to react to and you focus on your well being and mental health and you do what you want to do! 🩷🩷🩷

Audra Krenn

The moment you said you chose yourself i cried! I'm happy for you and I'm excited for you to no longer have to carry that weight of publicly reacting and just getting back to just truly enjoying the things your interested in

Jazzy

We will miss you but more importantly we want you to be happy. Pick yourself first. Don’t worry want anyone says. We love you and want you to go find your happiness again. Take care

Mhod23

So happy that you are putting yourself first!!! Thank you for putting mental health first! So glad you are just enjoying listening to music on your own on your terms.

Beth LaRue

I support you honey🤍 I’ve been a fan of K-pop since 2013 and I still adore it. But even I take year-long breaks because it gets toxic and it’s also an industry that focuses on mass production and it can be lot to keep up with. So do what you gotta do and I can’t wait for your gaming era!🔥 remember we are fans of your reactions and insights regardless of what “industry” you’re reacting to. Keep it up!

Nathalia

if u need a gaming buddy i'd be happy to rec or play with you!! if u ever want

Sean Salley

hyped to be here for the whole journey, whatever it looks like, whatever makes you happy <3

Sean Salley

Girl you have been going through it the last few years. I love K-pop, but the fandoms can be soooo toxic. Fandoms are so demanding and negative. I know you’ve been struggling with your mental health for so long and I’m so happy that you put yourself first. That is all that matters. This is YOUR channel and you need to run it how you see fit. YouTube is just like all the other free media platforms, it’s a cesspool of toxicity. People need to treat other people like human beings. You do you, we will be here no matter what but you ultimately have to choose yourself first. 💖💖

_Dani.Lynn_

Yes, put yourself first. If you are not enjoying it, glad you are making the necessary changes to make it fun for you. Can’t wait to see the new journey.

Leslie Rich

we support u caitlin! and will be here no matter what. <3 youu !!

IP Rieze

Beyond proud of you for choosing yourself!! Thank you for all of the K-pop reactions you have done. I found your channel earlier this year and I’m very happy I did. You’re bubbly personality and your videos truly have helped me not lose my mind these past couple months as I personally can’t do anything because of my health battle. For what you’re doing for yourself, it’s truly an inspiration. Thank you Caitlin!♥️

Morgan Waterman

Understood, respected, and supported. I enjoyed your kpop channel, it is what brought me here to your patreon but I did level up the membership based on your youtube film/tv reaction channel, there seems to be more joy watching those reactions, and I am having a ball right along with you. Authenticity is valued and I respect the stance/decision you are making. Glad to be here.

Jay Mèlanie

Well thank god XG is not Kpop, Am I right? lol I just kid, do what you enjoy.

Roger Segura

Take care of yourself! no matter what we support you ❤️

I hope you know that we're here for you, Caitlin! Whether you want to do kpop, movies, tv show, or gaming, we're here to just watch you have fun and be happy 🫰💜

do whatever you want, never listen to other's opinions about you 🩷 we love you and we will always support you no matter what

Lily Bujnak

First off, I AM SOOOOO PROUD OF YOU FOR PUTTING YOURSELF FIRST!!! I have been a subscriber of yours for a little over 3 years now and it does make me sad to see that the channel is no longer public. Not at ALL saying that your decision to step back from kpop/kpop reactions is upsetting, but it's because I am also in the same boat and it seems like this is the current vibe i'm seeing from people who have been reacting or even listening to kpop for awhile. It is getting to be so overwhelming and the toxicity of it all is insane honestly, it seems like it never ends. I decided recently to also step back from kpop and only stick with those that really bring me joy or are a comfort place for me so I can make room for other things I have been putting off, both physically and mentally. I am 100% with you for whatever adventure you decided to take next! So far, I am LOVING the show/movie reactions and I know you would EAT up a gaming channel! You have the best reactions and comedic timing I think it would be so much fun! You are such a bright, funny, and beautiful spirit; please don't let anything or anyone try to take that away from you. Whatever you think is best for you, we are right here with you! Whatever you need, we are ready to go, just say the word! So much love and respect for you Caitlin 🫶🏻

chloe 🖤

I hope you're able to find joy and happiness doing whatever you want 💗💗

Caitlin, you may have lost your "joy", but you will never ever, lose your "shine" 🌟 🌟 🌟💖💖💖

genevieve higuera

hi caitlin, your reaction channel had been one of my comfort shows that i rewatched so many times, and u are the only reactor that i subscribe too, both here in patreon and youtube. Please know that your videos mean a lot to me. Thankyou for sharing your times with me making all the videos! i really appreciate it. I need u to know that what ever decision u take, u don’t need to put anyone before yourself. I am not gonna be happy if knowing u sacrifice ‘yourself’ for this. You dont even owe us any explanation! I wish with this decision u take u will be happy and free! please be happy caitlin my kpop besties🫶

Kim Hannah

So happy to finally see you standing your ground with all the hate. Your mental health is important & you need to prioritize it. At the end of the day when you’re not in the public eye, you should be happy and not have the negativity of social media eating you away behind the scenes. I’m a forever patreon member and will continue to give you all the support for whatever you give us. Looking forward to this next chapter you’re bringing us. ❤️

Guini

You’ve been loved for your personality not for the reactions you know when you see someone and feel like so close from heart! You’re loved bc of that too. Soooooo gaming channel sounds great for me even tho I don’t watch gaming channels but I love seeing you having fun

Dania

You know I want to thank you because it was your channel that made me want to start reacting on YouTube so firstly I want to say thank you. I am always a big advocate for putting yourself and your feelings first and do what makes you happy. So it makes me more happy that you are doing this then posting something that does make you happy. Glad I’m a Patreon member now 🥰 because I love watching ppls reactions to tv shows and dramas more than K-pop reactions because the community is really rough.

Sherree James

How did such a beautiful thing as Kpop become so sad and toxic 2024? These young artist work so, so hard and have such little control over their own destinies sometimes. We also have to witness some of the best and brightest being ripped away from their passion and calling into the military when the were already contributing blood sweat and tears to promote Korea and contribute to Korea's economy. Kpop is fun, beautiful, full of art and passion, but the industry is rough and then you add silly, immature, selfish, toxic fans. I've been following Kpop since 2015 as a multi-stan ARMY and this year really hurt😥But the music was always there and you too Caitlin. Praying for a more a positive, joyful, loving, healthy, year for all in 2025. I'll always have your back as an OG 🫧 🫧 🫧 Bubble . ✌️ ☮️ out💜💚💛🩵🧡🩷❤️🤍🩶

genevieve higuera

i've been in the kpop fandom for 10 years and i understand your burnout, even though smaller. AND as a people pleaser, i can't imagine the pressure and stress you had to go through just to post reactions. i sincerely hope you can enjoy the rest from the main channel and just enjoy music because you've worked so hard to built this amazing community. shout out to you and your team for taking a big decision and step back for a while♡ i'm here supporting your projects and so happy you're putting yourself first. thank you for opening up about this and so proud we're important enough for you to do so. cheers to a better and healthier 2025♡♡

ema-simplywoozis

Always choose yourself. Be happy with what makes you happy dear. I'm so proud for you.

Catto

Im happy you made this decision, cause it honestly came to that point people would recommend content but the toxicity in that was that it was not a recommendation anymore. They would get mad when you didnt react to something they wanted. I always come back to this lyric from Maniac ( "….when a favor continues,people think it‘s their right,toxic…." -Stray Kids) That line always open my eyes and i always think to myself:i dont have to explain myself to others if i dont want to. Which is of course often so hard to belief but trying is the way to success isn‘t it ☺️ I hope that this time brings back the joy you had for music and making content🫶🏼

Berna

This has truly been a journey, so I'm thrilled that you have figured it out, as a Bubble. It wouldn't be your reactions if you didn't enjoy it. Thank you, Caitlin.

Alexandria T

I love you ❤️

@tyongf_404

Glad u chose to stand up urself girl ..react to who you want and who you love and if you want to listen to a new group then you do that but its your choice on how you handle it 💖 Caitlin feel hugged your so amazing

ROSIEPOSIE

We love you I am glad you are doing what is best for you and your mental health.

Tanya

I’m glad you found the strength to do what you needed to do for you. I hope Patreon can be a safe space for you moving forward, and I cannot wait to see what you do next! I hope this doesn’t sound condescending in any way, because it’s not meant to, but I am so proud of you. 🫶🏻🫶🏻

readyXaimsXfire

I know I’m here because of the positive energy you provide within your videos. And for the A-holes who continue to try and diminish your light, they could never bring even a fraction of the joy you bring with every upload. Take care of yourself and find the joys that make you enjoy life again.

Ndalo Mwamba

This is so heartbreaking. 💔 It makes me sad that people have ruined the experience for you. For that, I’m so sorry. However, I am happy that you’ll still be doing kpop here and there. You are part of the reason that I became a fan. I hope that you find what makes YOU happy. I’m excited for any content you decide to put out. 🫶🏼

AnnaSensei

Ahhhhhh congratulations on the brand deals and opportunities to come🥳. ALWAYS put yourself first and find/do what you love.

Ndalo Mwamba

Getting burnt out ain’t no joke. Take all the time and space you need. Those who actually care will continue to support you <3

Jesse Avila

I’m so excited to see what sorta stuff you wanna do, and here for the ride!! Glad you have put yourself first and foremost, please take care of yourself before anything else. You have no obligation to do anything :)) here’s to 2025 bringing better things for everyone! 🫶🏻

Stephanie

Glad you're choosing what's best for you!! Take care of yourself 🫶🏾

MisguidedBliss

I was literally about to comment if your interested in starting in a gaming channel something new and fun!! I glad you’re actually taking a step back cuz kpop can be toxic and stressful when it shouldn’t!! And to be honest personally I am also stepping away from kpop (but I still keep up with NCT since they are an ult group) anyways love you bestie 💅🏾

LunaLunar

I get it. Kpop music has changed and fandoms have changed more. People want you to react a certain group, idol, company, etc and certain ways. Love seeing you react to the groups I know make you feel happy. Do what you wanna do! Actually love seeing you react to movies and shows.

Amanda Astran

Sending love and support your way

DrPope

Love you Caitlin!! We’re here because we like you, at least I hope so. You should always do whatever you need and want to do for yourself. I understand being burnt out on things like YouTube or content. The opinions, the drama, all of that is so prevalent in the kpop sphere. And that drives people away. But I’m always here!! I’m excited to watch shows or watch you play games, or whatever else you wanna post!

Hailey

I'm glad you're doing what's best for you! Exited to see what you do going forward, I'll still be supporting regardless! I'm here for u first 🫶

FroggyMuds

also a gaming channel sounds so fun!

moon

i 100% understand losing interest in something when there are thousands of peoples opinions coming from left and right and making u feel bad. i can't even imagine the stress of having to explain yourself to thousands of people and trying to make everyone happy, and it's just not something that can happen. i'm glad you're choosing yourself and doing what makes you feel better because something like music shouldn't stress anyone out like it has for you. also as you said only react to what you wanna watch because watching everything every group drops gets soooo overwhelming even from a non creators pov so i can only imagine for someone creating content. your plans moving forward sound super reasonable not that my opinion matters but it sounds like you can really stand up for your boundaries and i think bringing kpop to be only on patreon helps with the community side of things. we love you caitlin and want the best for you, i hope you take care of yourself and that having a team help you can make things less stressful! i'm looking forward to whatever you do cait you're amazing!

moon

I totally agree and support you Cait, like even Im as a fan I lost a lot of interest in kpop because of toxic people, is too exhausting, with all the new fandoms and old ones, and records and stuff like that, the toxicity increase. Nowadays there are tons of reactors out there, but with all respect, sometimes I feel they do it for the trend or the views. There are just few ones like you that are here from a while ago and that we can genuinely see the passion to kpop, and you are one of them, thats why we are sticking with you hahaha. Do what makes you happy and healthy that is the most important thing. You go first.

Wanky Brissett

Hi Caitlin! You're actually doing great for taking a step to DO you. It's very important to protect your energy. Fighting!!💪💖

Charity

so proud of you for putting yourself first, yes I will miss seeing your old reactions but I’m excited to see what you choose to do going forward and I’ll always be here supporting you 🩵🩵

Amy Lou

I support your decision whole heartedly! I’m glad you chose yourself in the end cause your mental health is your number one priority. The way that some people are so toxic I get it really. I’m proud of you either way and I hope you find happiness after this.

Brie

Caitlin do what you need to do. We will still be here supporting you. You’re a great reactor and I have enjoyed being your subscriber but I understand your mental health matters more. We have to think about ourselves sometimes

Msken94

Can't wait for more drama (and maybe more BL?????) reactions!!!!!!!!

Aj Amo

i hope you’re doing well 💖💖 thank you for working hard and choosing yourself!!!

Joselyn Ramos

No matter what happens, AYO BUBBLES FAM IS HERE!!!!

Aj Amo

Caitlin that must have been a huge and really scary decision but i'm so proud that you picked yourself! You've put so much work into what you've built but please remember we are here because we enjoy watching you and hearing your unfiltered opinions, at least here in the patreon we are here to support you, not kpop. Looking forward to seeing where you're headed!

ris

I support you no matter what you decide to do! It’s hard out here! — and I’m honestly grateful that you’re even deciding to go at your pace here in Patreon. Keep choosing you, I’ll be here for the ride 😊🫶🏽

Rj

I’m glad you are doing what is best for yourself! I first found you on YouTube because of your Stray Kids reactions, but have migrated over here for your hilarious and genuine content…always listen to your own needs first and foremost

Chris Moehring

You know what, Cait? You could have just FU'ed all the haters and/or the toxic commenters on Youtube, because it's YOUR channel and you can do whatever the fuck you want without saying sorry, without even addressing the rude demands. Not pay attention at all and let them bark incessantly - they're the ones that always looked like fools anyway. Gods, I'm so angry. This is why we can't have nice things. You were the bestesttt thing that happened to me on Youtube after Kpop MVs and shows. Your relatable energy saved my loneliness for real. I hope you're able to take your power back in your hands in this indefinitely long break that you're taking. I'm really nobody to give advice but I'm almost 32 and I've seen a lot in life, so as an avid supporter I'd say - learn how to not give a single fuck. Literally turn a deaf ear while you're doing your thing. I'm relieved that the love for Kpop is not lost in you, that you will still enjoy your favorite groups and artists (off-camera) regardless of the overwhelming things that happen on the regular within the industry too. It's not just K-pop, quite literally everything and everybody is toxic in this time and age. You're my first and only Patreon subscription btw; you're spend-worthy, might I say! I'm not able to pay for Patreon every single month though. Which is why I'm saddened by whatever transpired. But I'll keep showing up here as frequently as I can afford. I'm sooooo into your GOT reactions right now. That's another great thing that happened to me this year hahaa! Love you, Caitlin.

Utpala Shrestha

This is such a bittersweet announcement because your reactions always brought so much joy to me and I am sure a lot of others. Even if I didnt enjoy a song right away, I was always looking forward to your reaction and thoughts. Also when you recently announced on your Youtube channel that you had so much planned for December, you genuinely seemed so excited which felt a bit surprising considering the last video announcement you had made to us here about wanting to leave Youtube, but I thought hey that's good if she is excited and changed her mind. So this announcement does make me a bit sad BUT all that being said, I 100% am behind your decision. I have said many times that it's important to listen to yourself and do what's best for you and your mental health and I stand by that. I am sorry that comments online over the years and the toxicity of KPOP has sucked the joy out of you like this, but I hope that by doing these changes you can find something that gets you excited again. I think a gaming channel is a great idea personally. I would love to see what games you are into. I hope you take good care of yourself Caitlin ♡

"I CHOSE MYSELF" -- Happy for you Caitlyn!

so proud of you for doing what's best for you 🫶🫶

Tabata Neves

Just to add to this. Not only is K-pop toxic, but the industry is SO saturated it's insanity. I can't even imagine trying to react to the 5 new groups we seem to be getting every month, HELL NAW💀 you do you, I'll still support when I can♥️

maria_yah

I fully support your decision! I just got into Kpop around 2 years ago and I just started watching your reactions around 1 year ago. I just want to let you know, at least for me personally, your reactions have always made my day! I hope the new stuff that you do brings joy to your life! You truly deserve it!💚

Madison Lewis

I discovered kpop little over 2 years ago and throughout this journey of mine you've been my guide. I've watched every one of your reaction videos and found new songs, new groups through your channel. So I am immensely grateful for the work you've put into these past years. That being said, I'm happy you're choosing yourself. You should always choose yourself. I think what us bubbles enjoy the most is your personality and the excitement you have for music and art and every single person who supports you understands why you've got to this decision. We just wanna see you happy and thrive and continue being excited for the things that you enjoy. Things will work out, they always do. We'll be here, cheering you on 🩷🩷🩷

Mariia

Caitlinnn, I just want to give you a hug. I'm SO happy for you that you've taken this step. You're truly a hero for holding out these years. Do exactly whats best for you. I can't wait for you to heal and feel better

Momo

I am so sorry this is where your reactions have brought you when all of your videos have brought me nothing but joy. I am also happy to hear you did not delete your channel because I usually play some of your playlists for background noise when I do my work and it’s genuinely such a light in my life. But please absolutely take care of yourself first and I’m so happy I can still show my love and support for you here! Stay healthy and know that you are loved❤️❤️❤️

Savannah Guess

Oouu I’m here for the gaming channel can’t wait for that if you do, do it. But i am going to miss the Kpop channel cause your videos were my comfort videos but i definitely noticed a difference in your reactions, like being way more chill and having to be so careful with what you say, honestly that pissed me off cause I could see you were still trying to please people and they took it for granted. Im glad you’re finally putting yourself first fully and doing what you need to do to make yourself happy. You are definitely my favorite reactor and I’ll follow you wherever you go and support whatever you do. Much love. 🫶🏾

Tj fenty

I'm glad you're finally putting yourself first and I hope this gives you peace of mind and that you find your joy again. Thank you for all your hard work over the years. It didn't go unnoticed by those who are really your fans ❤️

Kailey Bosyk

You’ve been such a huge outlet for me personally I’ve loved getting to rewatch and see your reactions I love your personality and your authenticity but I’m so proud of you for putting yourself first 💕💕 will always support you!!

Tyra

Take care of yourself ♡ how you feel matters! And I hope your team makes things better.

Beatrice Chang

Maybe you'll never love reacting to K-pop again, maybe you will but all that matters is that you recognised the issue and did something about it. I can't even imagine how losing love for something you do must've felt - it sounds awful😭 please keep choosing yourself whenever possible, burning out is not what any of us want for you♥️

maria_yah

Have so much respect for you making the decision that feels right for you and really hope it brings you some relief and happiness. Found you from kpop reactions but joined the patreon for your amazing drama and film reactions, and will be supporting whatever direction you take 😊

Kat

if something does not help you evolve then that should be put aside and that is what you are doing! good for you, cait! sending you much love and hopefully we will see you shine in joy pretty soon again!

Daira Ortega

This was such a bad year for kpop honestly. Moving forward at least for now, I'll just be listening to the music, and as for content, I'll only be consuming that of my ult group which is NCT. No twitter, no instagram related to kpop. As for reaction channels, I mostly watch you, Pia and Mercedes, Anthony Too and Koko3op(that's about it). So yeah, sucks that you had to reach this point, but I genuinely hope you're doing well❤️and good for you on doing what's best for YOU.

ashley kuate

Thank you for choosing yourself! Always do what is best for you. I'm excited to see what you decide to do going forward. We will still be here supporting you! 🩵🩷

First, I wanna say thank you for being the kpop channel for me to go to when I needed laughs, positively and joy. I appreciate everything you put into your reactions, work and joy to the videos. Do what's best for you. I'll be over here still supporting you ❤️

harmony mcnealy

Proud of you! 👏 I'm new here but you know your limits and you can't help but respect it. Sending you lots of love this holiday season Caitlin!

irie

I'm not gonna lie I was pretty worried for you when I saw your channel was missing today, but listening to your video it completely makes sense. You have the right to do what you need to take care of yourself. I'm glad you're putting yourself first and figuring out where you want to go from here. I know that some stuff is still up in the air, even with you explaining the changes, but i sincerely hope you find what works for you and that things get better for you from here on out. Stick with the people in your life that love you and take care of yourself 💕

Happier

I will always root for you choosing yourself! 💜 please take care of yourself how you can. It’s always been clear to me how hard you work and all that you put into what you do. I’m excited for you to be able to enjoy listening and watching what you like, offline. I hope that you’re able to find comfort and more joy. 💜 off topic: your nails are cute!

Meemz

caitlin i rlly hope you can find your joy in creating again 🥹. i’ve been a subscriber on youtube i think for like.. 2-3 years now? idk, whenever mamamoo was first posted haha!! i guess i was more of a casual watcher though since i only stan 2 girl groups myself so i’d only watch a smaller portion of your content. but always loved your vibes and your opinions and how you would react to the MUSIC. even if it wasn’t your favorite. i’m sorry you’ve dealt with so much of the dehumanizing and toxic energy from the internet and kpop fans. you’re very strong for lasting this long as well as for deciding to step away. i’ve been very much enjoying your aot reactions. and since you mentioned the vlog channel, thinking i might go check it out too. i think games sound fun as well! i’m glad to hear you still have ideas of ways this could be fun for you again. and that you have a team!! anyway. kudos to those 4 years of hard work on your own. i look forward to seeing you try new things 🤩🫶🏼

Courtney

I remember seeing your very first kpop you tube video, having been a patreon member for a while I always thought your patreon content is what you really shined in. I've been loving your additional content you've been putting out! The shows, kdramas, bl you started i have been really enjoying! Im excited that your taking some time to relax and built a team you trust! If content isn't fun for you to watch i think it ruins the fun for us too, at least for me! I agree with the kpop sspace being toxic, i don't involve myself in alot of the fan things and stick to just watching and appreciating what I want to when I want too as well. I hope the best and im excited to see what a happier you looks like!

Audrey

we love you caitlyn! 🩵 always will support whatever you decide is best for YOU!

Hannah McDaniel

Nothing can last forever and it's very mature of you to know when something isn't working. So glad to still be with you for TV reacts and so glad you're putting yourself first 💜

Brittany Joy

Put yourself first 💓, self love is a rebellious act in our society now in day but do it, your people will understand, sending you love and healing pixie dust ✨. Love, heal and rest you deserve all the love and healing and joy 💓✨

Somi Alondra

i didn’t even realize that you privated your main channel bc i also made the decision to leave kpop behind. as you said the space just got way too toxic so i’ve just been watching your movie/series reactions. glad you finally chose you, it’s not worth it if it cost you your peace of mind! 🫶🏽

Cecilia Bellwood

Caitlin I will always support you no matter what. I’ve loved all of your videos over the years but I understand why you did this. I can’t imagine the stress and the work that goes into running a channel like you have. I want you to be happy, that’s the bottom line. Love you always girlie 🫶🏻💖

You are a true joy and light for me. I’m so sorry it hasn’t been going well for some time, but I’m happy you’re taking time for yourself. I’m happy you’re putting yourself first.

Noo caitlin noooo I will miss you . Your reactions get me through alot. I suffer from bad anxiety and depression these last 5years. But your channel and nct dream have made it easier. An escape from reality. Last month I finally signed up to your patreon waiting for the dreamscape album reaction. " Take it easy, don't rush I know you got it" Whenever you are ready, please come back happy xx🤍

I was just looking for your channel to rewatch your reactions and was freaking out about not being able to find it but I’m glad you’re doing what feels right to you! You and your mental health matters most so you do what you need to do and what you believe is best for you. We’re all here for you whether it’s reactions or not! Its better to back away and watch from afar what is going on instead of being in the middle of it
