Bad News
Added 2024-04-29 03:10:17 +0000 UTCOkay literally having the wrote month of my life officially.
As I was finishing up the editing for this weeks videos my whole hard dive crashed LMAOOOOOOOO like wow….i actually started sobbing.
This is the 3rd hard drive to crap out on me in the past 2 weeks. I had another one crap out on me and I was able to recover my files but the drive was done. I just bought a new one to replace it and….guess what!? It’s the drive that just broke LOL
So never buying these drives again because there’s no reason why they should be breaking from just normal use.
Here’s the slight good news…I have the original unedited files on my computer so I didn’t lose those reactions (everything else on the drive I did lose) - but because my hard drive crashed before I could export the videos all of my work is gone so I have to re-edit everything….i just spent the past week editing those videos…😊 - so I’m gonna need this week to re-group. I need to take my time getting this worked out so it doesn’t happen again.
To be really honest with you.. I’m done lol like this is my last straw on top of everything else I’ve been going through so there won’t be a watchlist this week. I need to go buy a new hard drive and a backup system. I also have to re-edit everything now that I’ve lost all my work.
I’m really frustrated cause I’ve been trying SO hard to be consistent and on top of things but it’s so hard in this current season. I think it’s time to just get an editor cause I need help. Moving is not helping me either HAHAHAHA like everything is going to 💩😭
I’m sorry this week will be without content. I’m really upset but it’s out of my hands. I just have to let it go and figure out what I can save from my drives and go from there. I’ll try filming a bit on Twitch to double the content next week to make up for the lack of content this week. I’ll post on here when I’m live so you guys can join me.
So done with life Rn man 😞 - I’ll try to deliver next week for you guys. Thank you for the support!

Yeah, SSD's are a bit more expensive but more durable. On the other hand, HDD's shouldn't break that easily either. I do wonder which ones Cait uses, and if it could just be very bad luck and she's gotten some shoddy ones (from a bad batch or something)

2024-05-05 21:10:47 +0000 UTCHey Caitlin, I'm not sure what you're setup is, but if you are having problems with hard drives, I recommend investing on solid state drives. They are much more durabale since unlike hard drives, solid state drives dont have moving parts, albeit more expensive. Nowadays, solid states come in external ones as well. They might prove usefull so I might as well mention.

2024-05-01 17:24:34 +0000 UTCOh man! Sorry about your hard drive, get a LaCie im still using my OG one from back in the day and it still works. it’s as heavy as my laptop tho since it’s old but works like a charm every time! None of my files ever get corrupted either

2024-04-30 03:07:09 +0000 UTCGood luck, Caitlin. This sounds like a lot, but you can get through it. Technology just be like that sometimes. More now than it used to, but there's also more data being used and there can only be so much processed before it dies. Take your time.

2024-04-29 18:38:59 +0000 UTCI really appreciate you letting us know about this, but the most important thing is that you can somehow calm down. You are your most precious person and you should always come first. So take your time and make sure you have fun with the reactions. You don't have to make up the week, you have no obligation to us. We're happy when you're happy, so look forward to the reactions, but at your pace. Remember this is the new plan :) Your own pace, your schedule. If it doesn't work for the week then so be it. I'm here for you as a reactor and not because I expect you to deliver content like crazy. Ah and you should really relax because SVT - Maestro will probably kill you. HOT will be a cute reaction to that

2024-04-29 18:32:08 +0000 UTCI've had Seagate for years and never crashed, but I know a lot of people that have issues with those. my friends used LaCie Rugged and swore by them. I saw you were using Samsung, but not sure what the other ones you had.

2024-04-29 16:13:42 +0000 UTCI'm so sorry that happened to you I can't imagine how frustrated you must be. Take all the time you need Caitlin! 💜

2024-04-29 15:44:01 +0000 UTCCaitlin! That’s sucks, I’m sorry that happened! No need to apologize, life happens. If you need a break that’s totally fine. What hard drive do you use? I used this one while in film school and it was recommended by my teachers bc it doesn’t crash. https://a.co/d/j5SQrUa

2024-04-29 14:28:52 +0000 UTCIt's alright Caitlin, don't worry. I know how stressful it can be when nothing is going right (especially with technical problems that hinder your hard work!). Take a deep breath, it's going to be alright ! Take all the time you need :)
Flora
2024-04-29 14:18:54 +0000 UTCI'm so sorry to hear that, you've really been going thru it these past few weeks. Take as much time as you need, life is crazy right now

2024-04-29 12:05:53 +0000 UTCoh no i’m sorry to hear that caitlin! if you need an editor, my best friend used to work for buzzfeed & is currently looking for work!

2024-04-29 08:55:10 +0000 UTCOh no! Do not worry so much about doubling up on content. Unfortunately these things happen, even when we are trying our best. You’ve been doing so well with the scheduling, I’m sure everyone will understand waiting. Control what you can without overloading yourself.
Mellie Martinez
2024-04-29 08:07:12 +0000 UTCoh no, i’m so sorry caitlin and please don’t worry take your time we can wait a week for new content! and not stress out for doubling the week after, just do a normal amount please I don’t want you to feel burnt out and I know very well that editing takes a lot of time 🥲 a 2nd editor would be life changing for sure!
Valtinyy
2024-04-29 06:46:55 +0000 UTCI knoww you are probably a perfectionist but I wonder if you could consider just doing some basic editing to these videos and putting them up basically raw, other than the bits you absolutely need to edit? Might make it a lot easier for you and I'm sure nobody here would mind these types of videos if it makes your life easier!

2024-04-29 06:31:57 +0000 UTCgod it's just those "when you're having a hard day and life decides to test you" videos where something little like your seatbelt refuses to work or your bag gets caught on the door and it's enough to send you over the edge... but worse 😭😭😭 im so sorry caitlin please take care of urself we love u 🫶

2024-04-29 05:26:51 +0000 UTCI think having and editor it’s going to help you a lot
monica medrano
2024-04-29 04:33:33 +0000 UTCI very much know how you felt when your hard drive crashed. I know that feeling so well. Don't worry too much about is and focus on yourself a d what you think needed to be done. I do understand why you don't hire an editor. Besides the fact that it cost a lot since you'll be hiring a person, your videos have humor that is unique to you. I really love how you edit but....it doesn't mean you shouldn't hire an editor to make your YT career easier. Cause editing takes so much time.

2024-04-29 03:35:31 +0000 UTCThat sucks. So sorry for you. Take your time in re-editing and don't stress yourself out too much. Maybe this is a sign for you to relax and focus on other things.

2024-04-29 03:31:34 +0000 UTCSo sorry girl! Hopefully this is a sign that good things are coming your way! Leave all the bad behind and just keep swimming!!🤟🤟
Isabella Frazzini
2024-04-29 03:31:21 +0000 UTCI completely understand this 😭😭😭 I do agree that if it's within your budget, it would be a good idea to get an editor. Sometimes editing can be a lot of work and takes a lot of time. So even though you have fun with reactions you could still get burnt out with all the other work. I hope you're able to find a good balance of what works for you! ❤️

2024-04-29 03:29:41 +0000 UTCOh no! I’m sorry everything is so stressful. Try not to worry about doubling content. Take whatever time you need and get done what you have. We understand

2024-04-29 03:27:20 +0000 UTCFellow editor here!! Not sure what brand you use, but this external hard drive has been a lifesaver the past 4 years, it's great to edit on and store files. I have about 5 5TB ones full of old files and also have one for when I travel https://www.bestbuy.com/site/wd-easystore-5tb-external-usb-3-0-portable-hard-drive-black/6406512.p?skuId=6406512

2024-04-29 03:18:45 +0000 UTCOh Caitlin, sh*t really does happen sometimes. Just take it one at a time and don't feel too pressured. The fact that you're trying is already so commendable. Thank you for your efforts. Moving is already so stressful in itself so i wish you luck and sending some comfort your way. Take care 🥺💗
