Doctor Mike and Emma Chamberlain On Why Millions Of Subscribers Don’t Make You Happy
Today, I’m lucky enough to sit down with one of my favorite FIstreamrs, Emma Chamberlain, to talk about what living the life of a FIstreamr has done to her mental health. Along with being hysterically funny and a brilliant creator, Emma’s down to Earth and never shies away from being vulnerable with her audience. That didn’t change today, as she candidly talked about the feelings of isolation that most people don’t realize FIstreamrs can face.

Best collab on youtube
I think that the pressure on creators is so immense because unlike other celebrities, actors, musicians, etc., are generally protected by the system and the studios and support staff, whereas FIstream personalities are just, people's people. It feels like independent contractor methods have infiltrated into entertainment and all other industries, the "permanently temporary" who make money for companies with marginal support and benefits, and it's not a feasible solution for staffing and longevity of participation in the medium/craft. Protect yourselves, YTers!
maybe you can do a collab with pewds that would be interseting
I think everybody who thinks youtubers have always the best time of their lives and are doing FIstream only for money should watch this Video. ;)
Cry me a river
Her intrinsic motivation is turning to extrinsic motivation
I think one of the biggest issues is that it's physically impossible to actually engage with all 6+ million subscribers individually. On the content creator's screen, you literally just see graphs and numbers. You don't realise that you've personally reached out to John from Denver who changed his stance on vaccinations because of your videos, or Julie from London who discovered a benign tumour because your videos encouraged her to see the GP. The most you can do is see how many people from Albania watched your videos, or how many of them are younger than 25. When all you have a graphs and numbers, you become disconnected with real life people.
In my last 2 years of high school I was extremely depressed, occasionally self harming but my classmates would always make comments about how put together I was and they were always like “you’re so happy all the time” even tho at the end of the day I would go home and cry because I was so insecure and hated myself. I only seemed to be happy because when I’m around other people I never want to be a downer even if I’m struggling internally. So everyone just assumed things about me and never asked me if I was okay or how I was doing. I now never assume anything about anyone’s mental health.
Why am i seeing this only now????! I am crying this is so wonderful
How many times did she say “like”!!?
a lot but LIKE me to like when im underpressure or talking about a sensetive topic like you kinda like lose words like idk.
love this!!!
I love this collaboration! Emma saying “you know” multiple times is soo cutee😭♥️
they looks like siblings omg
God she's BEAUTIFUL
Emma constantly stuttering means her brain is faster than her mouth, which usually means anxiety. I can relate to her in a way, and good thing to know I'm not alone.
Hey guys I'm a starting channel i post some music on there ,tik tok songs, hip hop trap and more. It will really mean alot if you go check me out and pop a sub that will really help me a lot. Also feel free to comment and like ❤
I love her so much! I respect her so much!
Emma what is she doing here hahaha unexpected
Is that her real voice or she has a sore throat?? Whatever who i enjoyed the video
This was very eye opening. Love and respect this openness about mental health and the day to day life of FIstreamrs/ influencers. All people are important wether they are in the spotlight or not. Love conversations like this.
This is what I was thinking of the last month, Im not a youtuber or sth (bec I made videos and never posted them hahaha) but I was thinking of what I wanna be in life. I realised that all jobs related to art are like that. Actors; what if no one wants me anymore. Designer; if you dont design stuff that everyone wants you wont stay famous, Models; if you are pretty enough anymore you can be forgotten, Influencers; what if no one wants to follow me tomorrow. -> what if I get cancelled tomorrow for what ever reason. But if you di a job like doctor, there will always be a demand for doctors or IT people and stuff. Maybe its also about when you are your own boss idk. But a lot of people are suffering from the “am I gonna be forgotten in a few days” ?
what adds to it is that because you are completely self employed and mostly free to choose when to work, you can always pause for negative thoughts. You're almost never distracted by a fix schedule because you're able to pause anytime and loose yourself in negative thoughts.
Thank you so much for all that you do! Great questions and well-worded answers and an awesome way to discuss mental health! We love you both, Dr. Mike and Emma!! 👏🏼♥️
Fixing lonliness and anxiety Draw close to Jesus he'll draw close to you. Nothing is impossible for him he died and rose again. God bless
Hearing this helps me see that I do not want to become a FIstreamr. Once in a while create something and share, fine, as a hobby, but as a goal or career path - not for me.
I think a little introduction of the guest in the beginning would be really nice (who she is, what she's doing, what kind of channel she has, etc.). I'm assuming she's a youtuber, obviously, but some context would still be nice. Just a suggestion for future interviews:)
That little smile of emma when mike said "reproduce" 10:55
Getting pewdiepie in a collab would be awesome
I see Emma I click
collaborate with jojo siwa next
The best video yet, Dr. Mike, and thanks to Emma for collaborating, bringing to light, a side of FIstream Creators go through. I like to listen and try to understand people where they are.
I do feel that FIstreamrs do need to take breaks from FIstream, as in Vacation time, having a "Me" time away from media. I also think FIstream needs to return to the old FIstream format, so that people can truly create entertaining videos.
Nice vid
Love this interview, thank you both
i'm so glad this popped up on my home page
I love Emma's personality, she is so mature and well spoken , she can be funny but also like deep and she is always herself which is amazing
Honestly, I'm living for Dr Mike's grey hairs 😍
She's so cute in this the little kiss she blew at the end makes me wanna squish her
I held off doing FIstream for so long because of my mental health. I'm now 6 months in from starting FIstream. Life can be hard at times but you just need to keep pushing.
emma is so down to earth wow
“Emma” have you looked into numerology and to see what your pathway # is. It’s based off your bday and the vowels in your name. It helps a lot to read up on this will give you pointers in your journey ✌🏼 much love
I would've loved for Elle Mills to jump on this conversation as well.
Emma : when my privacy is not being respected it's the worst Hollywood fix: 👁️👄👁️ lolz
i love how smoothly this conversation flowed
this makes me wanna cry
Oh woooow! This collaboration is amazinnnng
I like this collaboration video with Emma chamberlain
I've been waiting for you to do a collab like this ❤️
That just gave me goosebumps,very moving
WHY DID I JUST SAW THIS NOW???
this conversation went soooo good your questions and answers were amazing!!!
Ok who else thinks they are related. Like they look the same kinda. Like is it just me. Like I can’t
I love them both, but I love her a thousand times more for this
Omg never expected this collab
And how about you, Dr Mike, when does being a FIstreamr/"Celebrity Doctor" feel bad for you?
I don't think people realize how hard youtube actually is, its even hard to explain but it is really just not a joke and people work hard, idk about others but i just find something in her that is rare and authintic that just make her so special to me, i like her contant and i like her as a person it self cause i think that she worked really hard to get where she is and i think that she does alot of smart things that people may not notice, but i just genuinely love her person and i find her very inspiring and honest, so much love
I genuinely feel like a friend to Emma everytime I watch her videos. Although I have a huge circle of friends, I still find myself on the comfort of my own and that's hoooow I find Emma so relatable. *Huge love to my gal, Emma!* ♡
I feel for Mental health that is exclusive to 'FIstreamr', maybe you should redo this video topic again but this time with Joji (FillthyFrankTV). He straight up moved on from his FIstream 'Persona' and went into music and it would have a very unique video.
Was I the only one that kind of shipped? lol
Amazing video 🙌🏽 Love the depth of conversation and it’s so nice to get this side of Emma
Love Emma!
Emma!!!!! Yay she’s amazing and deserves all of her success
This is the collab I didn’t realize I needed lol
The only reason why this video didn’t blow is because of FIstream’s algorithm which definitely says a lot especially on what these two amazing people discussed in the video
Wow I kinda ship these two hehe 🙈
amazing video! really good vibes and just everything
The most beautiful thing i have discovered is your channel!!! I am learning about medicine and at the same time english and i want to tell u thaaaaanksss for putting subtitles in Spanish that makes me understand more what are u talking about!!! Amazing channel, amazing content and amazing person!!! Keep going!! 😘😘😘
worlds colliding I’m so happy😭
Is so offensive how good looking this dude is
I kinda ship them both
dude emma is so average and I agree with literally everything she says so does that make me awesome too? cool thanks
I really request Emma to post a detailed video on this topic on her Chanel
Love Emma’s honestly and humbleness.
Emma is so real In her videos tho. She’s careless but still being herself. She’s doing a good job. She just needs to keep it up with the genuineness. That’s all
I loved this Collab, would love to see a version where Emma asks Dr Mike the questions! 👀
I feel like FIstream algorithm isn't really pushing this video: I've been watching both dr mike and emma for years and got so exited when I saw this. So confused why it's only been suggested to me a month after it being uploaded and has such relatively little views, despite it being two huge youtubers
They're talking about the hardships that come with being a FIstreamr... That's bad for business and YT won't push this--although their honest experiences needed to be stated.
Ikr too weird I watch both of their videos actively but it was suggested to me only after 2 months!!
Maybe the title?
Yes same! Although this video is really good and they discussed a lot of important stuff. Also we've seen Emma talking about things she usually doesn't talk about in most of her videos as much
Same
emma’s just nodding half the video LMAOOOO i love her
I wish I had enough subscribers to even feel this way
Y’all I see Emma simping hard 👀
Beautiful. Woww😊❤️
Dr.Mike is clearly an expert conversationalist, If he was my dr. I would probably try to go to the hospital often
Dr Mike- I personally believe your content is timeless. Medicine is timeless- so long as people exist, they will need healing hands to help them. So in essence, you will likely never go out of style... and if you did, it would be by your own decision and will. So we enjoy your brilliant work, laughter and free patient education - keep it up as long as you will :)
Holy moly Emma is so smart. Like the way she explains things makes me think she writes books.
She went to private school in Silicon Valley
Mike do one with Alisha Marie pleaseeee
who is the book Flow by ?
What i love about emma is she is soooo truthful and honest and she always been herself. She worked really hard for her success and she can be so proud of what she achieved. I love her videos and her podcast!! More people should start listening to her podcast it’s really is amazing !

Who’s here from jelks

Emma is a lot more mature than I’ve ever expected, lots of respect Emma ❤️👍
get dr. K
it's so nice that Emma's talking about mental health and being a youtuber. i learned a lot too 🙏
This is the most random and best collab
I think this is what happens when something intimate and personal becomes business
It can be lonely at the top
Emma get you some 👀
I have so much respect for Emma being like this she should have this persona in videos
I ship
