"OMG you're soooo gorgeous" comments

It's one thing to look up to someone, but it's like they see her as a God or something. "Ohh we could never be like you, all powerful being". I don't know... it's hard to explain how I feel about it. It just really, really gives me the creeps.

Tell someone that enough times and they'll start to believe it a bit too much.
Sure, a few comments are fine. But when every comment is that, to me, it starts giving the youtuber an undeserving ego of themselves.

It's like telling someone on facebook that they should get into photography when they nothing about and got lucky with a half decent picture.
To the untrained eye it looks amazing. To the trained eye, it looks mediocre at best.

Please elaborate on the untrained eye thing. I’m interested in hearing more.
Anyway, I couldn’t agree more! It's so irritating how ALMOST EVERY guru gets "you're so pretty" comments. I'm fine with people who are actually gorgeous getting those comments, but when plain-looking girls are constantly getting those comments, it's downright infuriating. Often times, it's an average-looking guru who is very well-groomed with nice hair, but facially still plain. (amarixe, ilikeweylie, TiffanyD, QueenBeeuty and many others) Even when these gurus come on camera without makeup looking super plain, they will STILL GET “YOU’RE STILL PRETTY WITHOUT MAKEUP” comments. Um, no, you look homely without makeup.

Of course their teeny bopper subs would think they are pretty - they are fooled by the illusion of great hair and great makeup. They are so easily impressed. What annoys me the most is that these gurus start to believe these comments! Little do they know that ALMOST ALL GURUS are complimented on their looks. Sorry to break it to ya, but you are NOT PRETTY. I don't care what their idiot subs say. People who watch youtube videos appear to have relatively low standards!

Another thing I noticed from watching blogtv and video responses is that a lot (NOT ALL, but a lot) of girls who watch makeup videos on youtube are.....to put it bluntly, below average looking. So of course, to these girls, these gurus would seem "gorgeous" because they are better looking than them.

Sure, some of you will say "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Although that is true, there are limitations to that rule. Most people have conventional tastes in beauty and it's glaringly obvious most gurus who get these "gorgeous" comments don't get these comments in person.

There are only a handful of gurus who have looks that can compete with models and these are the gurus who are actually WORTHY of those compliments. (AndreasChoice, sardun1, DeziredBeauty and a few others)

"Gorgeous" and "pretty" are purely physical labels that only the truly physically blessed should receive. These adjectives shouldn't be watered down to include almost everyone. The words “beautiful” and “gorgeous” no longer mean anything to me after seeing them being used so loosely on youtube.
End rant.
