  • @notamuffin
    @notamuffin Před rokem +5470

    He said at one point, he didn't actually mind the YTPs at all, the reason got angry about it was when he assumed kids were watching the YTPs, as well as it being a copyright issue. Once he understood fair use and realised most of the audience's weren't kids, he calmed down about it and embraced it.

    I remember him awhile back saying that he's indifferent about it and didn't mind as long as it didn't interfere with his own stuff on a more personal level. I'm glad he's grown to appreciate his extra layer of fame though, it's always nice to see people appreciating their fans even if such an audience wasn't intended. He brings happiness to the world either way and that's all that really matters in the end. I'm so happy he was able to recover from COVID, I hope he has a good rest of his life with his friends and family for as long as possible. R.I.P. to his second son Eddie, (1980-1999) who tragically passed away at 18 years old. I hope everyone has safely recovered and continues to do well.

    Michael Rosen is legendary!!!! His silly children’s stories are so cute when you listen to the originals and he is always trying to be a positive role model and teaches those younger than him without ever talking down!!!

    Micheal Rosen is like one of the most gentle and kind person ive seen on the media. I understand why he explains stories for children, he is so calm and kind!!!
