WHY I DON'T ANSWER COMMENTS (MOSTLY) 

You're probably not gonna read this, but I'm glad your back and along with your content. Stay up.

I've been doing flight sim causally for many years since FS2004. But you are the reason I decided to take it to the next level after your amazing PMDG 777 FULLY LOADED series. Lockheed Martin, PMDG and many others should pay you a commission for all the addons I purchased after watching your videos, learning from you and being inspired to get into a more realistic simulation. You can respond to your followers; you can respond to genuine constructive criticism. But just ignore the trolls and evil people. Don't let them dictate what you do or don't do. NEVER let them get you down. Thanks for all the great content and I really hope you bring back the full flights and fully loaded videos!

Never doubt yourself! You are the reason myself and I'm sure many thousands of people gave flight sim a go and have found a life long hobby. I think RU-vid should do away with the comments and just have the thumbs up and down option. Thanks for everything you have done for the FS community and I look forward to your future vids.

Us in the 99% appreciate what you do!

You being back is really a good thing. there will always be bad people, but dont read/listen to them. you are doing a very good thing for many people and when even you feel down. save some of the good comments from people and get yourself boosted up again. Good will always overcome the bad, just focus on the good and let that drive you. I been following you for many years and there was a little hole in my little life when your news shows was off for awile. so thank you for being back and just keep at it !! You have my support all the way ! Cheers!

I have been watching your channel for years and don’t think I have commented more than a handful of times. I usually don’t read the comments but am really disappointed and shocked so many have said those things to you. So many of us missed you when you had to take some for yourself but completely understood. Just know you have some Friends here and although some are relatively quiet- just know we are here and that you do provide a valuable service that has contributed immensely to the success and growth of flightsim.

Lots of people with a chip on their shoulder wishing they had the success of others will randomly lash out, happens everywhere not just online, completely get where you're coming from, if it happened in a pub you'd walk away and ignore them, it's just the same on here I guess. Keep up the good work ignoring them and making content.

Been a fan for years. I have learned ( is that a word) a lot from your vids and blogs you have created. We all have days that suck and you have had a very rough couple of years but I still think you're great. Chin up my friend. F the bad stuff! Do what I do and have a cold beverage and chill. Love you man!

I really used to enjoy and look forward to frooglesim news and when the videos stopped coming, I really missed them. I was genuinely happy when you came back. Just remember that there are many more of us that like what you do on RU-vid, than those small minded trolls who are probably only jealous. Keep ‘em coming mate.

You are the reason I got heavy into flight sims. Started with watching your videos on FSX and the PMDG 737. From there I started watching other videos you made. You taught me a lot of things. I even thought about being a pilot. I was happy to see your videos again. Then you started doing reviews again and its like finally, frooglesim is back, the guy that started it all for me. Before you I was flying the default air craft which are not inspiring. Watching your videos opened up a new world to me. So thank you. Please keep doing reviews.

Ironically I'm making a comment, but as a fellow small youtuber, I appreciate your honesty. PLEASE keep doing what you are doing and be kind to yourself. Congrats on the new motorbike btw.

You are the reason why I bought the PMDG 777. Best flight series I’ve seen. Love your content from back across the pond, hope you are well!

I'm right there with you on the comments. I prefer the "post & ghost" method of releasing new content. Not just because of the haters but also because it's insanely time consuming - and you have so many more subscribers than I do!

I still love your content, I've learned a lot from you over the years. You've taught me a lot about flying and loving what we do!

Been listening to your great vids for YEARS… don’t go down that rabbit hole my friend…. No answer required.

It's just nice to have you back man!

Been watching your vids since back in the day of FSX and I really have all your content and have learned some things so you have a lot of people that are here because you bring a lot to the

You are my main Ytber for Flight sims and Aviation - the main reason is you play for the interest and the fun, instead of these arrogant kids that think their P3D skills will get them into the BA Acedemy... Try and remember thats what you are here for and the 90% of us that leave you postive comments will always appreciate it. I too have a busy schedule but i always make time to watch your weekely news when you have time to do it as it always brings a bit of excitement to my week of whats coming out next! Thanks again and i look forward to your future content *coughcoughHIND?coughcough*.

Hi Froogle, have always enjoyed your content, and I know from personal experience some of the comments you probably get. Just do what you need to do and continue to enjoy it your way. Thanks

Love your work mate ! Keep those videos coming, when time allows :)

Hi froogle, understand your opinion. I only can respect your work and all the Joy you have given the flighsim community and me in personal. Following you for almost a decade from the Netherlands. Keep up your good work, learned a lot from you!

well said mate. Classic mike drop monologue. Keep the videos coming in.

Froogle, I just want to let you know that *you specifically* got me into flightsim half a decade or so ago with some of your P3D videos. I have been a huge fan of yours ever since and I thank you very much for you content. Glad to see you're back at it here and uploading fresh content. Cheers to you and please keep it up, you have MANY, MANY fans!

Hopefully you see some of these positive comments, but your flight sim videos are by far my favorite. You have a way of demonstrating methods and highlighting the important parts of updates that make it easy to watch and understand. Please keep up the excellent work

Froggle, you were my first RU-vid flightsimmer that I discovered and started following. I have always completely enjoyed your videos and the content you provide. Your views, advice and knowledge have been awesome 👌. Please continue to do what you do, ignore any negativity and just be wonderful you. God bless always. 😀 -Glenn

as I was saying you bring much to the table keep it coming

froogle ive followed you since you started enjoy your vids and brought many planes controllers on your say , your the best keep going your true fans followers will be with you many thanks chris uk

Any time you have self-doubt (and I could say 'don't let the bastards get your down'), just look at your subs. 79,000 ! You're doing something right. I've been YouTubing for 5 years now and only have 6.3 subs but I do have an amazing community around me. Do NOT doubt yourself. Put out the content that YOU want to put out and if people like it, that's a bonus. Be you and people will tune in for that.

The sense of entitlement from viewers will never cease to amaze me.

We love you man keep them coming

I studied performing arts as a kid, and one of the tricks they teach you is how to not care about what people think, through basically self humiliation. Being shameless. We used to have competitions about how to humiliate ourselves in public places, like pubs or in the streets. One classic was my mate doing the dance from the show oliver on the floor of a disco. Combing your hair in the middle of a pub, being as vain as humanly possible or going up to girls with cheesy chat up lines and getting abused. Just excruciating but fun. I could literally stand on any street corner, in the world with a guitar and perform anything. I felt no shame. Creative people, who put themselves out in public need this skill. It is our super power. You think Jimmy Hendrix cared about the haters?

We all love Froogle . No you are not always right 100% of the time, but that makes you human and not a machine . Case in point , when you were not excited about MSFS coming out , and once you were invited to Seattle by Microsoft , your opinion changed. Like you I was not all that keen on a new release from Microsoft , but I am happy to say I was wrong and eating crow is fine with me . I know you have been through a lot over the last year. and that also makes you human . That is why I will remain a fan of Froogle !

your feelings are natural . but i for one love your show . do what makes you happy and if others can share in your happiness,,,awsome .thoes who choose to bring you down to their level . let them "JOG ON" ( lister from red dwarf) .

No response is necessary... Just kicking the algorithm along!

Dont turn comments off, like you said, viewers do interact with each other and share ideas and tips. Keep up the great content and dust it off, ignore those bad comments, you have an army of good subscribers here. Great job man!

I guess this is why some channels just straighty up disable comments, thanks for giving me that context. Hope you feel better.

Unfortunately the negative comments do most stick in your mind - although what the negs don't always realise is that they are interacting (whether good or bad) and RU-vid see this generally as positive interaction; so in a way, it's helping a video become more successful.

People can be absolutely horrible at times and will say things with a keyboard that they would never say in person. I would say don't let it bother you but I would be lying. What I will say is that look at all of the people who do support you in a positive manner and look at those like Greg and the rest of the crew at Jetline who back you. That in itself speaks volumes about who you are as a person and a content creator. Keep your chin up and keep doing what you have been doing! 💚

Well done Frugal! You have to understand the negative comments you get are not really personal. They are form people who don't deserve a response and clearly have personal issues of their own. Sure you're going to be sensitive about this and they hurt - because they are meant to. They probably know nothing about aviation or about you and care even less. They just need to hurt. They have mental health issues. The wise will realise them for what they are. Your own lack of self confidence is another issue entirely. And if you feel that well that's nothing to do with them. Most people get self-doubt but judging by all the supportive comments here, you have helped many of us a lot and we enjoy your news reports and feel helped by your advice. That's all that matters. Keep it coming and don't let the others in and destroy your confidence! There is not one vlogger on YT or any where else that won't get these comments - it's just they learn that they have issues and the last thing you want to do is let them win.

Any criticism or errors pointed out by me are made with good humour, and certainly never with any malice. I have always loved your content, and there is never any desire by me to disparage you in any way! I hope you realise that.

Been watching you for years and always enjoyed the content. I think you had the opportunity to be the leading face of Flightsim on YT. Still think you could be if you 'really' wanted to.

I very rarely comment but in my opinion when you read comments from rude ignorant people and they make you have doubts about yourself. instead you should have doubts about such sad people. Your channel is great, keep it up! No, I won't get upset when you don't read or answer this. I just hope some of the morons do and maybe they will think twice before being so offensive again.

Ignore the haters froogle you're doing great and as a pilot both on the sim and IRL I appreciate your content

Pete, you should ask yourself what contribution the trolls and snipers make to the FlightSim Community? - SFA I would guess! Stay well, and we all look forward to your next vid. 😊

No worries Froogle, I like your flight sim videos because they are short and to the point. Please reply ;-)

Some channels do 'responding to mean comment' videos, and turn it into a joke and everyone has a laugh. Not saying you should do that too, but it does seem help deal with the negativity. The channel '747 Gear' is a great example of this.

Ignore the trolls, but do reply to the people who write nice comments. That alone sends a message. Keep up the great content Froggle!

Just do a full review of the PMDG DC6! I hated it in P3d, Dunno if Ill go for it in MSFS.

I enjoy your videos Froogle, those guys can f@#! off. I've learned so much from you it's not funny, your videos are part of the reason I got back into flying. I love Froogle News and your review videos. Please keep doing these videos I'm sure many others feel the same way.

Please disregard the negative personal stuff man. 👍 Do what you do for the “love of the game.”

Love your video's Froogle...no need to respond except keep those videos coming. Hope your enjoying PMDG DC 6 as much as I am :)

I don’t get some people. If you don’t like someone’s context then don’t watch it and move on. Never apologise, run your channel the way you want to. I never expect channel owners to reply, anyone who does is unreasonable.

Yeah. It can get harsh sometimes. Sorry that it hits you that bad :( You can always just turn comments off. Lots of channels do that.

Unfortunately, our world has many negative people who can't be successful themselves. Apparently, these people feel better when they write negative comments for those who step out of their comfort zone and produce content that thousands of people enjoy. Please ignore the minority negative Nancy's, and know that thousands enjoy your content. Keep producing your content and that will be response enough for me.

F Them Buddy, you inspired me to get a PPL so welldone

Illegitimi non carborundum.

You Da Man!

Keep up the good work, I've always gone by the adage, if you don't have anything positive to say keep your mouth shut. Unfortunately this medium allows to many people to hide their identities and get away with saying things that they wouldn't have the guts to say to your face. Please keep on making the content.

I'm glad I met you. Skip the comments. You could get someone to screen them for you. I had one sock higher than the other. And your videos count. Keep it up.

I like your videos really I do and thankfully you always respond to me. But haters gonna hate

Hey,always remember that when they're having a go at you,they're leaving everyone else alone.There will always be naysayers,they're not worth a breath from your body..................

Switch em off?

Why don't you just turn the comments off. Problem solved. I don't watch your videos and await the comments. I watch them for the content of which I have always enjoyed.

Thanx again froogle. What plane was that????

Comments are overrated. There's a reason they are below the content.

So why can't RU-vid ban them 🤔🙄

I enjoy most of your vids, but this is a back and forth medium. I think that's what most people mean. But if that's your position (and I have no problem with your position), you should just turn the comments off.

Turn comments off. Done

I think it's just the nature of the beast. Text is a terrible way of expressing nuance and emotion (unless you are a novelist). The comment you mentioned is entirely benign. Comments like 'you should die' are just so obviously sent by children/drunks they are just comical. I'm afraid that putting yourself out as a performer (which is basically what you are) invites critique, after all they are called comments not congratulations. You would do well to take an art class, it'd harden you up! Critique is a fundamental part of it. Either way, just ignore anything that is DE-constructive and put on a shelf anything that is constructive to pick and choose what you will that makes sense.

There's another channel?

I was going to make a comment but I suppose I better not.😁🤣😂👍👍👍

Well in that case, I will write comments to whom it may concern instead. Not criticizing the uploader, yet it's part of the process of being a content creator. If it's too hot get out of the kitchen lol. I understand the comments getting you down, but yet again it may be a hobby or a 9-5 in RU-vid land, not sure, either way you are doing it to keep a roof over your head or because you love it. No troll can take away what you love even if they tried. It's what makes you tick or tock, no pun.

Can anyone say what is the aircraft he's flying?

Buddy you’ve been around for years and I’ve noticed myself that since msfs dropped a huge amount of new starters are putting down content creators. The same creators that actually were invited to Microsoft to see msfs before anyone else. The same content creators that have assisted in bring us the audience the good the bad and the ugly of flight sims and if people don’t like it then just scroll past. If you can’t say something nice then don’t say anything at all. The only time I would put down a Creator / streamer is if they were putting out a ton of miss information in regards to the content they were showing.

I'd have thought the simple option would be to just disable comments on all your videos! Problem solved.

The comment from that screenshot is incredibly selfish. Like he deserves to be responded to. Get real bro!! LOL.

You don't answer because you're sensitive, but it doesn't matter because you're not going to read it. Our job is not for us to motivate you too make more videos. People are going to say whatever they want to say, I'm not saying it's right but if the negative bothers you and you can't handle the general criticism then maybe RU-vid really isn't for you.
