Hello. So, VidCon is approaching very, very quickly.
When this goes up, it'll be about two to three days before it starts.
And I want to make this video to let you know,
those of you that are attending,
what you should not do at VidCon.
I have four things I'm going to share with you.
There are likely more,
I know a couple of friends of mine have thought of more tips,
but I am giving these to you as someone who is a featured creator
and has been for three years.
These are important, so please, please pay attention
and make sure to keep them with you and use them
for the three-day convention.
Number one - do not ask your featured creator friends to get you into parties,
to give you their featured creator pass so you can get into parties
or any other area that you're not supposed to be in.
People have asked me before, and I just don't feel comfortable doing it.
I don't want to risk it.
And honestly, I don't really like the feeling of being used. (Laughs)
Like, you're trying to use me and my featured creator status
to get into places that you haven't really earned your way into, I guess.
I don't know, I just don't find it really appropriate to
ask people that.
Too risky. Don't want to get in trouble.
Number two - don't ask strangers who are featured creators
for their passes and their names to get into parties.
When James and I were going to our hotel rooms after a party last year,
two girls stopped us and they were asking if they could have our passes,
if they could have our names, to get into one of the parties -
the party that we just left.
And we were like, "No. First of all, we don't know you.
"And...no!"
Like, this isn't even the end of VidCon,
and you're gonna have my badge,
and how am I supposed to know that I'm gonna get it back?
And I still wouldn't give it to you anyway, because you are not me.
I just went into the party, and people are going to know that you are not me.
And again, I don't know you.
Go work your way into the party or something.
No, don't do it. It's disrespectful and weird.
Number three - please don't scream and chase after your favourite YouTubers.
During my first VidCon,
I saw one of my friends get chased after by a group of boys in the hotel lobby
and then I saw two other YouTubers who I had never really heard of,
but a whole herd of girls just tried to go around these two guys,
and it was terrible, it happened outside, which is really dangerous.
And it was so bad and so loud
that I could hear security screaming at the group of girls.
Like, it was a lot of girls.
If I had to guess, I would say about 50 girls,
probably maybe a few boys as well,
but basically just 50 people were surrounding one guy at a time,
and it was awful.
Don't do it! It's creepy,
you could hurt yourself, and you could hurt others.
You hurt the person that you are chasing down, and it's just not safe,
and it's also not respectful.
Please. Don't do it.
And then we have the fourth one,
which is do not stand in the middle of the hallways and stay there.
Okay, so, even though I'm not really supposed to,
because I am a featured creator...
Featured creators are not supposed to go into the public areas
of the convention centre and all of that.
Now, I'm not very well known, not a whole lot of people know me,
so I kind of go through the public areas anyway,
but just don't stand in the middle
and stay in the middle of the hallway for any length of time.
People have places to go, and it's a lot harder
and it takes a lot longer to get to where they need to go
if you're standing in the middle of the hallway and you're not moving.
So if you can, please, stay at the walls, and let people go through.
Remember the extremely slow walkers in high school?
This is that same scenario.
Just don't relive the high school moments,
unless you're in high school - don't continue it.
Just... It's safer that way. Just...
So, those are the four tips that I have for you.
Don't ask your featured creator friends for their pass
or to get you into parties.
Don't ask random featured creators you don't actually know
to use their name or their passes to get into parties.
Don't scream and chase after your favourite YouTubers.
And do not stand in the middle of the hallways.
Or anywhere. Just move out of the way.
Conventions are fun, but they can be very, very scary
and very unsafe very, very quickly,
so please have lots of fun,
but also make sure you're keeping yourself safe and everybody else
and we can work together to make things as smooth as possible.
