caitlin, because you mentioned it a few times, i want to emphasize that you have not disappointed us (that's why we're still here!) we want this to be a safe place for you where you don't worry too much and can just enjoy the content in peace. we care about your well-being, and i look forward to seeing you figure out a format/schedule that works sustainably for you (even if that means no schedule or taking breaks) i always appreciate your sincerity and transparency when giving us these updates. you don't know me personally but i really feel like i care for you like a friend, so please take care of yourself and we're always grateful for you!

All of my respect goes to you Caitlinnnnn. As someone who barely got out of Uni alive, I'm so in awe of how you're able to juggle between your studies and creating content. So thankful for all of your reactions, podcasts and just general content. I love your channel and everything you do. You're definitely one of my favorite creator. Take good care of your self and don't overwork ❤️ a lot of people appreciate everything that you've put out for us

Girl hands down ur the best reactor out there for a reason well imo! Most of the times I see u literally drained and u just keep pushing and working which is amazing but like take all the time u need please! Your work ethic is remarkable and just keep that in mind. Anyways i am super grateful and wish an amazing life!

hey Caitlin! honestly I love the fact that you were thoughtful enough to do schedules to begin with since I haven’t seen many people do something like that and you know what, if it isn’t working for you then I’m really happy you took that into consideration and put your foot down! it’s very understandable for you to not be able to post a lot of things in a month since it is very draining and aside from being a reactions creator, you are a human being. please be able to love yourself, heal yourself, and most importantly be yourself🫶🏻 I truly understand your situation and wish you the very best as a reactions creator & human being🫶🏻✨.

it makes me sad knowing that you’re getting frustrated at yourself for not being able to do as much as you want but i also understand (i’m a freelancer with mainly self-imposed schedule but sometimes i also get SO upset at myself for not meeting my own standards of productivity)… it’s very valid but also you’re doing SO much for all of us, plus idk if everyone realizes how much time it takes to edit & manage all your content!! what you do is v admirable & i hope you can give yourself more and more grace with time bc you truly deserve it 💗

ppaulina

Wish I could offer you more than encouraging words and a few bucks every month because I relate to this so hard but I always admire that you’re so open about your process and learning how to manage everything. I hope you’ll find a better way for yourself, and thank you for your honesty 💖

Go easy and dont be so hard on yourself! Burnout is normal but please know that you're doing great. (In Jeno's tone - inhale exhale)! We always thank you and we love you! Go girl and graduate, you make us proud.

Burnout is so real, please do whatever you need for things to feel more manageable. I love every reaction but I hope you do feel like you can do less. You put out more content than many other reactors combined so no wonder it feels overwhelming. You bring a lot of joy to lots of people but that shouldn't be at the expense of your own joy 💜

Caitlin, considering the number of videos you create, I can't help but wonder how you manage to even study in college and live your life at the same time! You're a great talent and hard worker, and you have every right to do everything at a more comfortable pace. I understand what burnout and anxiety feel like, so I get where you're coming from. Please, prioritize yourself and your health. The schedule isn't important. What matters is that consuming K-pop content brings you joy rather than becoming routine or a chore, because otherwise, what's the point? Take your time. You're one of the best k-pop YouTubers out there and an incredible person with a big heart, great sense of humor, a strong moral compass and a sense of justice. You're the sunshine! Be kind to yourself and don't feel the need to justify it. We value and love you very much. Take care of yourself!

I understand, I think that you have to many shows ongoing now that you feel so stressed to post at least 1 episode of each, both variety and dramas. try to start less shows at a time so they will go faster and you have less hours to film and edits since there’s classes and homeworks for example watch 1 drama or tv show and 2/3 variety shows at a time it’ll be less stressful even myself I watch one drama at a time or it would be longer to finish them 😆

Valtinyy

omg didn't know you were a senior in college too ! we'll be graduating around the same time (i go to school in the UK) but girllll its tough out here ! you are doing more than enough so do what works for you ! wishing u nothing but the best boo

chy 💋

Caitlin, you need to be chill and think about yourself first is the most important thing for your own self. please don't feel pressures to pleased everybody because no matter what is going to be a same result if people aren't happy they're going to be unhappy. I love you!! I respect your decision and thank you for be part of your moments of life. Love ❤️ take care!

Nina

I'm glad you try to figure out how you can make Patreon work for yourself. Take your time, your videos are great. Thank you so much for your hard work

Lu

I really hope you find a method that works for you. You are my favorite cc that's why I am here supporting cause you put so much work and care out there. As far as rotating content it really does seem like the best option you are doing so much and it is totally fair for you to cut it down a little so you can enjoy your life too. I think most of us see and appreciate how hard you work

lexpaw

Caitlin I can honestly say I am always so surprised and impressed by the amount of content, and the High Quality of it, that you put out each and every month. I can only speak for myself but I joined patreon, NOT for the content here but, to support your overall work on your reaction YouTube channel and other places. I might be in the minority but i'm honestly ok with just the content you put out on YouTube haha. I think you have proved time and time again that you have what it takes to produce amazing content. AND I really believe you will only get better with time but, I NEED you to recognize what a great job you are doing already. I love your content and like what others have said, I even watch your reactions to groups I don't follow just to hear your opinion and recommendations. Definitely do things at your own pace. It's so important to prioritize your health and happiness. Thank you so much for your hard work! We're all rooting for you!

HAHA yeah this month I was up at like 3 or 4am uploading 😭 - thank you so much for understanding! I will try my best to get better so that your experience over here is even better! Thankful for your kind words and encouragement! 💕🥹

Caitlin Benson

Thank you so much for your words 😭 - it means so much to me! The fact that you’re here for little old me just makes me want to bawl haha forever thankful for you! 💕

Caitlin Benson

Haha I kept rambling I’m so sorry but I wanted to let you all know where my head was out. Thank you so much for the support and love! Appreciate you! 💕

Caitlin Benson

Stopppp! Haha appreciate the offer! I may take you up on it lol but I seriously wanted to thank you for still supporting me all this time. You’ve been here for awhile and you always leave such loving and positive comments as well as helping me with information I may not know about so I wanted to say thank you so much for being here. Appreciate you! 💜

Caitlin Benson

Thank you so much 😭 - you have no idea how I’m trying not to cry while reading this haha it means so much that you see the hard work and sometimes I don’t get much sleep but it’s so worth it for you guys (I’ll try to get more sleep tho haha) Thank you SO MUCH for seeing me 🥹💕

Caitlin Benson

Haha I keep telling myself I can do it! Thank you so much for understanding! Appreciate the encouragement! 💕

Caitlin Benson

I really appreciate your kind words 🥹 - thank you so much for supporting me. It means the world to me! Thank you so much! 💕

Caitlin Benson

i feel like more so this month, i’ve been aware of when posts go up from my notifications, and sometimes i catch myself going “dang?? isn’t it like super late for caitlin?” i don’t know if patreon has like a scheduled post feature but if not, i can definitely see how time consuming it all is. honestly, as a girl group stan who stans only a couple groups, i am one of those patrons who is only here for reactions to certain things. but for me, i’m still happy to support you just because i see how much love you have for the channels and all the groups you have given time to. so there’s no disappointment here, i can say that for sure! hope this new no-schedule thing works out, and i always appreciate you updating/communicating with us on how you’re doing.

Courtney

I think the idea of not specifying what you are going to release for the month is a good idea. If people aren't happy, they just aren't happy. You are going to always have people who are still upset even after you've released the content they want. You have to do what is best for you, and I think simply saying what you are watching or what's in your rotation is good! Don't be afraid to put your foot down. We subscribe because of YOU. The content doesn't matter, because without you, the content is just that.

chaeekies

Hello girl.. all i can say is, we understand. You have a life outside this reactions. I hope this lessen the pressure you felt, please calm down and relax. We know you also have a life and we understand! Fighting!

Sherry Sembrano

Thank you for the update and just as what the others are saying ur health and well-being comes first. I'm honestly okay with no schedules since I just rewatch my fave videos, mostly NCT ones 😁. All the best! 💚💚💚

Francis

Hi Cait! Thinking about you first is always the hardest but the best choice. Dont worry and try new ways on your own time so we can enjoy music together, you are already doing more than enought. Love you and thank you!!

Naty

We love you so much and appreciate everything you do. We always have your back no matter what :)

Jessica

Υou are my favorite reactor and Ι enjoy every reaction that you post ! I subscribed to your YouTube for your personality and how drawn I was to your content and I have been here ever since you started and have enjoyed every bit of the journey …Personally the no schedule is perfectly fine with me because I remember when there was no schedule and you uploaded just to upload and it was kind of a surprise so it was nice and I think it also helped you a lot and it seemed like you enjoyed the content more because it was less stress and expectations so I think this will be a good thing for you in the long run! I will continue to watch and stay subscribed regardless of any of your decisions ..I hope you become less stressed and the weight eases a bit so that you can find that balance again to help ease your mind a bit :)

MyaTalks XoXo

we're here for you caitlin! i hope this makes things easier on your behalf

Anshika Nath

Cait I can't believe that u just uploaded a video with 17 minutes to just tell us thats u r not going to upload a schedules every month, u r really the sweetest 🥲🥺, u really a hardworking person and u r doing so much for us and I really appreciate ❤️. BTW ur health comes first so please do whatever u could to keep ur self happy and healthy, we love you and Thank you for ur hardworking 🤍🤍🤍🤍

Kiko

although this was a big stress on you, you’re doing great! always put yourself and your feelings first, they matter more. thank you for all your hard work and dedication, we appreciate it so much. all my best wishes to you and your senior year! you got this :)

nelli 💌

Thank you for your time and honesty! I really love your channel and your reactions and I truly appreciate that you are putting yourself first. Anyways, hope this change will make you feel better, we are here to support you!

Mands Gaymer

Maybe hiring an editor may be a good idea. Maybe you already have one, but I'd be happy to do it for free. Maybe it can lighten some of your workload? Idk just trying to help❣️ anyway, you do you Caitlin I'll be here. You always brighten my day and I find myself so excited when you post. I literally squeal. Take your time and take care of yourself.💜

Lunatic 370

I think you are amazing when I get notifications of your uploads is not often one video but several sometimes I think you actually don’t ever sleep with the amount of things you put out I mean this is maybe tmi but I’m also in university and sometimes i get burnout from all the things I have to do or want to accomplish that I end up with a ton of anxiety that often leads me to discouragement, I see you and all the work and effort you put out in the things you do and feel encouraged that I can also do it you know, you do you Caitlin! And whatever makes you feel at ease and happy with your life you should do it, music and content will still be there today, tomorrow, months from now so no dnw! you worked hard :)

itim

Honestly, CAIT, your reactions are so full of life that I sometimes watch some random reaction videos of yours of artists I don't even stan. You're absolutely fully capable of getting through with school. It's been 4 years that I finished grad school and I can't imagine myself in your shoes, handling so much back then. Do your schedules as your energy allows you to.

Utpala Shrestha

Caitlin you always work so hard and I'm so proud of you. I honestly wouldn't be able to do what you are doing and I just want to thank you for being such an amazing reactor. Please take care of yourself first thing no matter what, your health is top priority, reactions can wait those videos aren't going anywhere but if you feel like you need to rest, pls do I rather have you be healthy and happy in reactions in a slow pace, rather than getting quick reactions but you're tired and stressed. conclusion, thank you again for everything, you work so hard and you deserve so much. You are one of the only YouTubers/reactors I still watch and follow. I love you and pls take care of yourself!
