Fan meetups are a great way for YouTubers and other public figures

to connect with you guys in a more direct manner

because we want to show you how much we appreciate your support.

was about three months after starting my channel

and maybe 10 or so people showed up at the food court where we held it,

and while it doesn't seem like a lot, I was just happy that anyone showed up.

It took a bit of icebreaking, but soon enough,

who valued my work, even though they were just crappy drawings with choppy movements at the time.

countless fans that have expressed their enjoyment of my work,

and it is honestly a big push to continue working when I feel discouraged about myself.

It's one thing to quantify how many subscribers one has,

and it's another to actually see the people behind those numbers.

And while a YouTuber's goal is essentially to grow in viewership and [consequently] in subscribers,

DAMN, do meetups get harder the bigger you get.

Fan meetups can be a bit difficult to organise on our own,

because you need to find a good location that's very accessible to the fans,

but also a location that doesn't pose a hazard for everyone else.

Impromptu meetups at conventions can get us in trouble because without careful planning,

some fans can get a bit rowdy and aggressive

and maybe trample other people to get to the front.

And it's very hard to stay calm and meet each person

while simultaneously yelling at everyone else to stay in a line, and stop pushing.

of the amount of people waiting behind them.

And I have no choice but to cut them off in the middle of their autobiography

because as much as I want each interaction to be meaningful for the fan,

I also know what it's like to wait in line.

Especially if it's outside in the hot blazing sun.

And it gets even worse when you combine meetups with other public figures.

A couple of years ago, my friends Albert and Lily came to visit Toronto

and wanted to hold a meet-up while they were here.

Wendy and I were trying to figure out a good place to hold it,

and really only thought Dundas Square would be a convenient place

for people to get to, because it was in the heart of Toronto, and beside a subway station.

On the day of, we headed downtown early to grab a bite to eat

and then made our way to the square with about fifteen minutes or so until the meetup started.

It seemed semi-crowded, but then again, it was Dundas Square.

A lot of events get held there all the time,

so high pedestrian traffic wasn't out of the ordinary.

yeah, all these people here, are here to meet us.

It was a little bit of an underestimation on our part.

Luckily, we had other friends to help us keep things organized and be our bodyguards,

but we definitely knew we were gonna get in trouble

And without prediction we try to get through as many people as we could,

And mind you, each interaction might have been brief and rushed,

but would you rather have weak Wi-Fi or no Wi-Fi? Hmm?

actually, i guess it depends on what you're doing

I really hate playing smash online sometimes

so yeah, I'd rather have no Wi-Fi than some weak b*tch Wi-Fi.

Okay, a better example: would you rather have some drinking water or none at all?

- Yeah, well, that's why you're crusty and dehydrated. Drink some water, oh my goodness

And soon enough a cop approaches us and tells us we're being an obstruction.

No, we did not have a permit to hold this meetup,

but we were definitely keeping things organized,

We just thought, you know, it'd be a casual meetup of people

with similar interests that happened to be in the same location!

Hey, what a coincidence that we are all here at this specific time.

(slowly rising in pitch) hhmMhmmmMMMmMMMmmMmm?????

But we couldn't argue with him. He said we needed to leave.

Someone speculated that we only got reported

because some street performer complained that we were blocking his business.

I asked the officer if he'd recommend anywhere else we could go

because there were still maybe a hundred or so people that we didn't get to,

I guess we'll just convert this obstruction at the square

into an obstruction on the sidewalks, because we had no idea what to do with all these people.

We'd probably just get reported again and kicked out wherever we go,

and while thinking over this during the fan parade,

we agreed that it was just best to break it off.

But we had no way of telling everyone past the couple of people in the front,

and even if we successfully did that, we knew not everyone would listen.

(overlapping voices) what da f***, a-hole?!? are you kidding me?
