VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE. (CHANGES MOVING FORWARD)

I don’t know if it’s just my devices but sometimes I cannot find some of your old reactions in the collection section and im using patreon app

Temami

Eyyyyy senior year! Yes ma'am! You got this! <3

Michele Wang

I’m just wondering when the request forms start would you’d be open request for non K-pop artist such as Japanese artist and Thai artists? You don’t even have to react there are just a few artists that I know you will love

Ava Forrester

I'm a little late to get to this as my own personal life is very hectic too so I completely understand and am so happy to hear you're starting to find your footing again. I think apart from coming up with this plan, the fact you're readily communicating with us is what makes everyone love you and your content. You prove that you care and are serious, that you consider all aspects and that you still maintain the basic foundation of respect between the fact that this is an income, something you enjoy, something we're paying for and for yourself. So please know that if there are hiccups, unexpected circumstances, or anything else that no one wants you panicking over 'failing' or anything, and that the most important thing is honesty. If we as viewers are honest with you in our feelings on the content received and you're honest in your feelings of how you're feeling and how you're planning to do things - communication - then that trumps everything else. Mistakes happen, that's completely okay, it's how you handle it afterwards that matters most. So I really hope you live each day as it comes, enjoy your interests, smile a lot, work hard and accomplish all your aspirations and allow yourself the knowledge that you're human and nothing will ever be perfect. Before I finish I wanted to ask or propose an idea, I'm not really sure what to consider it 🤔 but basically, regarding not reacting to all groups, since obviously you won't be a fan of every single group that exists, that's impossible first of all and also normal in the space to find a spark with some and others not, but in terms of logically speaking then, would you ever consider the idea of somehow sort of making a post or it shown somewhere accessible to new people finding your channel and patreon, who your top groups are? This is simply to know which groups are most likely to get the most content, so people feel more in the know of what to expect from your content in a general term Thanks again and stay healthy!

I'm happy with your decision. I just hope you take it easy and don't have to worry too much about satisfying us. You can ALWAYS about your self first and take breaks.

I’m happy that your doing what makes you happy and setting boundaries so you can love what you do good luck with moving best wishes ❤️

Megan Bloedel

Caitlin ❤️🔥 Love how you never give up and continue to press forward. I really love your channel and your reactions. You always make my day. Have a smooth move! I hope your new way of doing things work out for you and if they dont, that’s okay too! Rooting for you.

Atikah

I'm so happy you're setting boundaries now and I'm so excited for the new schedules!! try not to overwork yourself and remember we love you <3

marleyy

We all need to do that sometimes, good or bad. To cry, I mean. You're welcome! I can't imagine moving houses, so like that'd just stress me out, lol, but man, all of that new extra room. I'm glad you are going to have that space for yourself. It's like your graduation-from-college present. Even if I could never leave my house, I'm a little jealous about your new house (even while knowing I'd have zero ideas for how to decorate it) except that I'd have one room for pets or something. Man, remembering how you did the rose thing for Taeyong in the office, I already know you have tons of ideas on what to put up in the new room.

Take your time caitlin !! i'm also preparing to move by the end of summer to a whole other state so i get it! No worries if you can't upload or commit to certain things! :) We will all still be here

Kt

Omg 11 variety shows is crazy 😭 def cut back, don't overwork yourself. Never be sorry, you should be happy doing what you love and not just to please other people. Out of curiosity for the deep dives, would that mean you would be reacting to more of stray kid's older music and videos. You mentioned something about stay week on YouTube but I just wanna know if that's still on or not. Regardless, no matter what you do I'm okay with anything. Also, doing a movie sounds so cool there's so many good ones I could recommend. Your reactions to horror movies would be so funny and enjoyable 😭. Set your boundaries girl, no matter what you do I'm here to support always <3

juli

as a student and a content creator i really salute you Caitlin! I’m just a student and I still can’t handle my workload LMAO!! But imagine where you have to edit and upload reactions??? All I just want to say is you are doing a great job :) and I know all these efforts will come to fruition!! Fighting!!!!!!!

heyitspf

Don't be apologetic for setting your own boundaries girl :) I'd rather have you happy and cheerful than practically burnt out and not getting any joy out of your channel <3

Eva

Wow almost cried haha thank you so much for understanding and your kind worlds. Really needed to hear that! So excited for the MOVE! Haha like I’m let’s goooo! Appreciate you guys! 🥹

Caitlin Benson

Good luck with your house, Caitlin! Waiting for almost a month more seems like a lot to deal with, but you're probably more excited than anything else, right? You'll get that space you want and can shout as much as you want without disturbing anyone! Thank you for your video explaining everything. You didn't have to make the video, but it's greatly appreciated, Caitlin. You are very open about your goals, like setting boundaries to keep from burning out, and I really enjoy that, especially because I can never meet my own goals (I'm not even a reactor). So, all I have to add is that I hope you can make everything work out because as you said, you do work hard and it shows with how much content you have released over several years. It's kind of mind-boggling, honestly, if you count how much content you have made, Caitlin. That's both amazing and concerning because as you said, doing too much is not good for your health (lack of sleep, burnout, anxiety from not meeting expectations/pleasing everyone, etc). I'm thrilled that you will be setting boundaries for that reason alone. Good luck with everything; I hope these new goals can be met and will help relieve your worries.

Alexandria T

The way you disregarded this whole post like??😭😭

Sophia

I was thinking the same thing, Sarahvtae. Only because FifiZappa reacted to the 2 MVs (Plan A and Plan B for "Renegade") and I was surprised, but it was a good surprise. Didn't expect anyone to react to it, really. It's up to Caitlin, I agree.

Alexandria T

oh i see, thank you for letting me know. i'm always watching you from japan and honesty YOU MAKE MY DAY. please know that whatever you do or decide not to do, i appreciate it all. thank you for going through a comeback period with me. it is one of the most precious things for me. love you🫶

nya

Ok thanks 😊

Najwa Aabirouche

Read the post and watch the video please 🤍 - I’m not longer taking requests on posts. There will be a dedicated post for that.

Caitlin Benson

Thank you for the updates Cait! i wish you the best with the new house and i'll be here for the changes and content, i have a great time watching shows with you! you are doing great!! love you 💕💪🏻

Nataly Pecora

I’m just here for SB19 reactions from my fave reactor but do what works for you, Caitlin! Always here to support you no matter what 🤗

isabella

Najwa Aabirouche

yes big yes for rtk<3

fullsun

Love this for you~ set your boundaries <3 Do what feels right and works well! Said this before and it still holds true: I'm here for the ride, and I'm sticking around to see how far you go. Take care of yourself! Will be here to enjoy the uploads whenever they drop.

Beatrice Chang

Okay, sounds like a good plan. Thanks for clarifying🤗❤ Also sorry for asking about this, since it's kind of a "request", but mainly a question...are you going to react to Lucas (mv's, album, live stages, documentary)? I get that a lot of ppl are rather "careful" about it, since they'd be risking possible backlash...and i know, you've been choosing not to really talk about it (as is your right). So...if the whole "risk taking" thing possibly applies to you...would you consider to at least check it out on Patreon? (As soon as you have time obviously)

Sarahvtae

Also...please don't think, you're disappointing us in any way, shape or form!!! You're doing so great and it's clear, that you're trying so hard with everything you do here. So...Don't worry about any of that❤

Sarahvtae

Omg good question! I forget to clarify that! - so I’ll of course keep up with my groups comebacks (or if I find something interesting and want to check it out). In terms of older albums I’ll be checking out my groups older albums so I can finish out their Discography. This has been a huge goal for me for so long cause I stan too many groups and I haven’t heard half of their music. So in regards to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generations I’m sure I’ll get to a ton of them but for now I’ll be focusing on my groups albums UNTIL I feel like I’m at a good point to add more if I’m vibing with something. I really hope to get to A lot of those older groups though and I’m looking forward to it! 🤍🫶🏽

Caitlin Benson

Hey Caitlin! Just a question regarding the Album reactions...are you going to focus on newer Albums, or are you also willing to react to 2nd gen/3rd gen Albums? I genuinely think, you'd enjoy a lot of older Albums as well😊

Sarahvtae

The NCT SHOW won’t be a Patreon thing because I started it on YouTube. So when I react to the last couple of Episodes I will upload it over on the channel instead of here cause I feel like it’s not fair to put it on here when I started over in the channel. I just haven’t had time to sit down and film the rest of those Episodes yet. They’re longer and most likely will take me about 2 hours to finish so when I can do that I’ll upload them. Hope that helps! 🤍🫶🏽

Caitlin Benson

I really appreciate your update, and thank you for your hardwork as always. you are always the best reacter for me.🫶 if you don't mind to answer, will you react to nct's contents ''the nct show'' which you haven't reacted yet? i know that you took a poll about it, and i'm just curious about if you will react to it someday. i'm not forcing you to do that, it's totally ok if you watch it on your own!!

nya

Thank you so much Kassandra! Appreciate you! 💕😭

Caitlin Benson

Haha yay! I was trying to make it kinda cozy like we were just talking to each other at like a cafe or something lol I didn’t want it to feel like a meeting or that anyone was in trouble. Just VIBES! ✨💕

Caitlin Benson

HAHAHA much love 🫶🏽 we really are like the same person sometimes haha but we getting through it one day at a time out here lol

Caitlin Benson

Thank you for your update! You are easily one of my favorite reactors and I hope the balance of the new method helps you do what you love to do while still being able to find time to relax and have some peace ❤️

Kassandra Ament

Thank you Caitlin really appreciate these updates. The new plan sounds great and I hope it helps you feel more in control 🫶 Completely random but your voice is so soothing and I love the background music you use for these. This update was surprisingly relaxing to listen to as I’m working 😂

Pippa

it’s crazy how much we be on the same page and you have school going on, you’re so strong in the balancing act of it all. aye, i’m down for &audition whenever, i’m trying to find the joy again too. burnout is crazy and the approach i had too, go back to the beginning because that was peak fun and was most optimal for me without any pressure or expectations just explore groups and learn. on top of that, as time went on i was basically skewed away from the music aspect of it all, which is wild because that’s where it all started. true, too many shows is so hard but it’s very hard to do them all evenly within a month & such. this is a great explanation, you speak better than i do, wish i could take this vid and share it on my page too 😂

anthonytoo

Hope this new way moving forward won’t stress you out even more! Grateful you’re still out here giving us content, just remember breaks are important too! Always here to support you!!

Alyssa de Leon

Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to your content this month, as I do every month haha Setting boundaries is a wonderful thing ❤️

surem

Totally understandable to cut off on some variety (11 shows is crazyyy). I'm here for you as a person. You're just so fun to vibe with but I also love hearing you talk about music it's just so inspiring and cool to see what you find cool what you might not vibe with i just love seeing people who love music and know about it talk. Burn out is real and yeah it's important for it to not be a job but a fun time. Thank you always Caitlin for the amazing content <3 I'm excited to get to know more music with you :d

eve

Cheering for you to feel the joy that comes with consuming content and continuing to do what you like without it feeling like a job/obligation! I have a lot of fun watching what you share with us when you’re reacting to stuff because I can see that you’re having fun too. Take all the time you need to re-orient and do what you need to do so that you continue having that fun too. 💜

Yasss let’s goo! 🤍

NNTI

I'm always happy to see putting proper bondaries is that weird to say lol? You have a LOT on your plate and we understand that thank you for wanting to explain and compromise anyway. I hope school goes well for you (it's hard but you got this friend i know you do!!) I'm super excited for your mom and you!! You shine when you talk about your new space :) I hope the new schedule works for you and you gets to enjoy uploading like you did before. Thank you and take care 🫶🏽 see you on twitch ! Also I LOVE your hair looking mighty cute girlie 😉

Caitlin Benson

Thank you caitlin, i really appreciate your update 🥺💛 If you don’t mind to answer, are the next episodes of 7inn will be included on your 1-7th of april schedule on twitch? 😁

sela

This last year has been crazy for you, and burnout is no joke. Hearing you explain it, I completely get where you're coming from. Even though I love your variety content, I'm also excited for the deep dives and album listens! hope things get easier for you and you can get back to having fun with this! Never disappointed with what you make!

Haley
