Take Care Of Yourselves Y'all - Blog Posts

Hey! Californian here! Please do not come here for VidCon.

Please. The number of Covid cases here has spiked with kids going back to school, and the Delta variant is hitting us hard. Conventions like VidCon are not worth it. Simply not. To see your favorite streamer IRL is not worth the huge risk to yourself and other people.

Theres Youtube videos, there’s Twitch vods, there’s other ways to see your favorite streamer and to get their content that are so much safer than coming to this huge convention just to see them in 3-D. It’s just not worth it. Conventions like this are not safe to be having while still in the midst of a Global Pandemic. It’s a superspreader event, and people will inevitably get sick.

It is so irresponsible of people to even be letting the convention happen this year. Even if you are vaccinated, even if you think you’re safe, it’s not worth it. If not for yourself, think of all the other people. All the other people who could get sick, all the people who could be carrying and spreading this virus, or the (more contagious!!) Delta variant.

Please. Do not come to VidCon. Do not encourage your friends to come. There will be other opportunities to see content creators when it is safer, and when there are not thousands of lives at risk.

I know I’ve said it a bunch, but I cannot emphasize it enough: VidCon is not worth it.

Please stay safe.
