    I've been in this community for so many years and the things I've seen and experienced. Frag comm can be a circus show and many of the behind the scenes and a lot of the people can just turn you off. I use to be about the community, now I'm about me and a few people. I enjoyed the video and agreed with many of the things you've mentioned. I do feel like IG is way friendly than YT and FB but I might be wrong.

    Those vanity hashtags! Thanks for covering that one. The self-appointed leaders. Machiavellian stuff... Great video, my friend.

    Great video! One more positive above those you mentioned. Is how I've grown not just as a person. But also as a human being. I more acceptance. I understand other people more and I don't judge as fast as I used to do. But on the other hand when my judgment has fallen, it is definet. Time to sleep for me know. Thanks for the mention.

      Most definitely... giving benefit of the doubt is so important but yet when there is a track record of bad behavior, the person is exactly worth of sympathy. That's a conscious decision they've made to continue aling their bad course.

    "It is okay to just be yourself, live your life, and just live the best life that you can." YAS! I love being allowed to be here commenting on your video. I'm actually too much of a newb to have seen any of the issues of which you speak (thank goodness), but here's what I know: I LOVE PERFUME! And I love nice people. And I love nice people who love perfume, too. :p (YOU! That's YOU!) It's good to say the things we need to say. :) I'm Julija Graham, and I approve this message. :p

    I know I haven’t been here before but the title caught my attention and you raise some excellent points. I can’t say I’m 100 percent innocent but we learn and grow and try to be better. You explain your points in a very eloquent, intelligent and positive way.

      @scentremix6201  Před 2 lety +1

      Thanks for watching Tony! Well, you bring up an excellent point yourself and one I should have mentioned a little more succinctly. It is very easy to get caught up in things and find ourselves guilty of some of these shenanigans. So, like yourself, I cannot say I'm 100% innocent either. But when you recognize the mistake, it can be a good lesson at least. So kudos to you for being honest with yourself. If we can't do that first, we can't possibly be in our other relationships.

    You are absolutely right I remember when I first started my frag journey. I try to be positive to everyone until one day. My name got caught up in some one else drama. And I ended up loosing a lot of subscribers. Behind it. So what I am trying to say is frag com. Are full of negativity and everyone is out to bring you down. Thanks for sharing your topic about frag com.

      It can easily happen. Some of the stupid things that go on really blows my mind sometimes. I guess the thing to remember is, we only have control over ourselves and our actions. So we have to continue trying to contribute to the positive as much as possible. Thanks man for the watch and comments!

    Hey Nick! Great video, I agree on both sides of the scale. I'm relatively new to Instagram, but almost everybody has been friendly so far and made me feel welcome...many users gave me tips on photography, on brands, on fragrances, no jealousy whatsoever...it really feels like a family where everybody is helping each other to grow, so the whole community will grow. On the other side, yes, I had my share of "backstabbing", but I hope it is and will remain a one-off...guess what? Using me as a connection with a brand for free stuff...pathetic, but an isolated case...The positives outnumber the negatives by a lot. Keep up the good work!! 😉👍👍👍👍

      Alex, appreciate the comment and sorry that you have had the opportunity already to see some of those negatives. We take the bad with the good and hope that raising awareness and calling these types of behaviors out will help cut down on incidents like that. But continue being a positive influence yourself as you have been! 👏🏽

    Watched the whole video and enjoyed this. You are very good with your words Nick.Thanks for this. I agree what you said and I have many other especially those negatives too that bothers me. Hypocricy and the fakeness of some people are some of the worst things. I can see through that very easily. Have a good week!

    Hey Nick, that was a great video! I agree with some of your comments about Fragcomm community and as it relates to social media. I've wore many of the fragrances that you mentioned in-the-day! I am a friend of Kelan from Scents Of South Jersey....I'm a former tennis player & coach from Stanford Univ., I'm 71. Love to have a chat some time with you, Nick!!!!

    Hey Man , hope you are having a great day. I've seen alot of this myself. I try to keep this as a hobby and do this for fun. I do enjoy it and try not to take it too seriously. But it's easy to get caught up in it. I've seen a lot of backstabbing myself. But I try to remember my dogs not in that fight lol. But I am glad to have met and became friends with the people that I have. You included.
