They would just prefer to avoid some of that by avoiding the label.

I think for some, including myself, we kind of fear being seen as a critic because to be a critic, you have to be some type of expert.

at the thing that you're critiquing, or you have to have an advanced amount of knowledge to critique that thing.

And I don't consider myself an expert at anything.

Sometimes I say Jack of all trades, master of none, as far as my channel goes.

And I just... try to stray away from it because these videos aren't gonna exist on for a very long time i can't believe i'm coming up on a decade of my videos and i never want for my opinions to evolve on a certain topic and people refer to my old videos like oh well back in 2018 you said this So I'd rather not.

And I see it happen over and over.

So I'm just wondering, Crystal, in your experience, how do you deal with that uncertainty and lack of transparency?
