It's nice when people take the time to say "Thank you". It is a polite thing to do and it makes the receiver feel good about something. It doesn't take long to say it, but saying thank you in the anonymous online world takes a little bit longer. Typing out a comment takes some time as does selecting options to create and publish a comment - not to mention a few seconds to check for typos and grammar.
A few of my YouTube viewers take the time to say "Thank You", while this is a small fraction of the total number of viewers every day, it is nevertheless gratifying that they take the time to do this. As of today there are 7,467 comments on my channel since the beginning of 2010 (when YouTube started to track comments) - not all are favourable and there are also many questions from viewers. But the vast majority are viewers simply saying "thank you". If each of these comments took an average of a minute to write, it adds up to just over five days worth of non-stop commenting. Here's what some recent viewers had to say in the past week:
- life saver!!!
- Super helpful, thanks
- thanks! Short and to the point
- thank you so much this was so helpful!
- You legend! Thank youuuu so much!
- Outstanding... worked like a charm. Thank you for this informative video.
- Great video, everything is explained simple and steb by step. Thank you!
- Thank you! Helped a lot.
- thank you sir this one is very useful for me ..
It has made me more likely to do the same on other websites - I sometimes comment and "like" posts, or share them on LinkedIn and Twitter.
So - this is my opportunity to say a BIG THANK YOU to all my viewers and to those who take to time to comment.
