I do wish people would be more adaptable when it comes to your content. It's so unfair people push you to go out and do "entertaining" things during a pandemic? You're doing what you're comfortable with. I understand, it may be boring to some, but pushing you to go out and explore for content during a global pandemic, nah. Especially in NYC. i love your homey apartment vlogs. i feel like we are on facetime. and i definitely need that since i live alone and I'm quarantined during my senior year.

@rebekaaa507 3 года назад

Omg yes I completely agree with this! every time she mentions it I'm actually shocked people are pushing her to do this?!

@JulianneMalene 3 года назад

YES!! Please stay home if that what you feel comfortable with

@AnnEvelyn7 3 года назад

Jackie Roberts You’re spitting out some knowledge! I, too, live alone. I’m just happy to see someone else. I could watch her vacuum and be entertained. The pandemic has definitely lowered my entertainment expectations.

@empritchard13 3 года назад

can i just say.. the same people who are like “omg brooke u never leave ur apt” are the same people who would hate on u for being unsafe if you spent more time out/with friends! lol! people are so annoying i don’t know how u handle it!!!

Just wanted to say I feel like your content lately has been so WELL ROUNDED!!! Even though your videos have the same “lifestyle vibes” and common theme you always different types of videos throughout the week and I love it:) you’re killing it!!

@IsabelLachlan 3 года назад

I agree!!! Love the content, Brooke!

@Jaidancer1 3 года назад

Someone fill me in.. So people are pushing for her to be out in nyc and enjoy her time during a global pandemic. ( Also keeping in mind she’s in a major city so safety should be her top priority, not having her expensive camera and phone out to vlog and not being aware of her surroundings). But friends of her and even her own cohost gets draaaggggeeed for going out. If someone can explain the logic to me in a respectful way that would be greatly appreciated.

@danielleinfante5086 3 года назад

Hey Brooke, I think it would add a little something in the vlogs to start showing the city when you do go out! Not that you need to vlog the entire time you're out, but montages of the city & views would be cool :)

@allisonrhyu5889 3 года назад

honestly i love how your content has been focused more on staying in during this time especially in wake of the pandemic, where many "influencers" have seemed to be promoting the opposite. as someone who recently moved to a big city in a pandemic too, watching your vlogs has definitely helped me feel more at home!!

@AnnaS-my6oc 3 года назад

@michellec2937 3 года назад

Hey Brooke! I’ve been a subscriber for a long time and am happy to see you’re living your best life in NYC. I felt compelled to say something because in your answer with regards to safety I feel you left out a huge part of what’s been going on that city over the past several months. Over the first half of 2020, homicides increased by 21% and shootings increased by 46% compared to same period in 2019. And in the first 7 months of 2020, murders have jumped 30%. In the month of July alone, the number of people murdered rose by 59% and shootings increased by 177% from the same period last year. Crime has dramatically increased in that city and people are fleeing at levels never seen before. Whether you blame that on the lack of leadership and enforcement of the law or COVID, I think it’s important to acknowledge. I hope you stay safe and I am happy to hear NYC has been a treating you well so far

I truly hope that you end up having a different/more positive experience, but for me/in my opinion, the NYC dating scene has been absolutely awful over the course of the two years that I've lived here. Just adding in how my own experience has been! Don't want you to lose hope though, and I think it's great that you remain optimistic and have a positive outlook on it. But is anyone else in the same boat as I am in?! Please tell me yes lol

@Erika-ym8vc 3 года назад

@@hannahguzman123 Glad it's not just me lol. That's exactly what my experience is like--iit's almost like I THINK something might come of the situation between me and the guy I'm talking to at that time, but then 3 or however many dates later it's like JUST KIDDING. Like... oh, how foolish was I to think that I might get lucky lmao. So I've had the apps deleted for a while now because I just don't have the energy for that.

@rachelgiallella4121 3 года назад

I was extremely lucky with my boyfriend i have currently and been with for 2 years now. I met him randomly and honestly was expecting him to be flaky like everyone else. There's so many young people in NYC but not a lot in this age group that want something serious.

Ok you should do a video where u go through your Spotify playlists and explain like ‘what each playlist is for’ and ‘memories from playlists’ and ‘what inspired playlists’ and ‘which ones u use most’. I follow u in Spotify lol and I feel like that could be a cool video. Also I think a cool video would be showing your favorite photo from each year of your life or reacting to your old videos. I know u said u were wanting to do more sit down videos, so these are all things I’d love to see lol ❤️

Jackie Roberts that sense of entitlement and thinking they aren’t affected at big southern universities may have something to do with it.

As someone from NYC, you’ve been as safe as the rest of us! Definitely don’t push yourself to do things that make you uncomfortable but everything you’ve been doing in your vlogs is what locals have been doing for 2ish months now.

Curious, has Brooke ever disclosed how much her rent is in NYC? I'm always curious of real estate prices in different cities. Not sure if she said this in another video.

@AnnEvelyn7 3 года назад

Honestly speaking, I feel like none of us are happy 100% of the time. Maybe some people are lucky and are happy 98% of the time, but there are good days and bad days in life. Watching you in NY, over the past however number of vlogs, you seem pretty happy. That “are you happy” question can be hard to answer because sometimes I’m just content, which isn’t a bad thing. I am sure many of us are the same, no?

@lilianazha4350 3 года назад

@stelladan6211 3 года назад

Lolls, first time ever commenting. But I kinda disagree. I’ve lived and worked in Manhattan for 6 years and all those previous years NYC was a lot better. It’s very different now, as it should, of course we’re in a pandemic but like it just doesn’t feel like New York anymore. Also I live on the upper Eastside and it just seems like crime has gone up in some parts of the city so I don’t feel as safe anymore. I use to never feel unsafe at all, but now I do. I just kinda wonder if you’d have a different opinion of living in NYC now if you weren’t so close to family too. Like I’m 600 miles away from close friends and family. I do hope and I really want NYC to recover and come back though. I absolutely love the city. Anyway, thanks for helping the city out and I do enjoy your content.☺️

it is interesting that someone actually wonders if spending more money on an apartment in the city if worth it because of a pandemic. I would argue that home is MORE important because you are home more...i don't know, that question hit strange?

@Linalaaa 3 года назад

But look on the bright side! During the pandemic you get out much more use from your apartment than during regular times, when you'd probably be out more, go on trips etc. So by only paying rent, even tho its a lot of money, you're basically in a more financially stable situation ;-)

@huesito111 3 года назад

@@jennifercarlson2797 Reading through some past comments I have seen people say her content is boring and less entertaining. That seems to imply that she should be out, doing more things which can make Brooke feel pressured. Also, in the COVID environment, maybe its not appropriate to be recording your surroundings as often. People are on edge and maybe Brooke doesn't want to be touching her camera as often.
