A pep talk behind '🥰🥰' fills Bridey Drake's comments with thank-yous
Viewers wrote back far more than usual to the short of encouragement, while her cooking short from the same Friday drew the bigger crowd.
Bridey DrakeStory of Why this story? The video drew 2,633 comments in its first day, 11 times a normal first day on this channel (240).
🥰🥰
Two emojis, no words. Bridey Drake often lets a heart or a smiling face stand in for a title, and "🥰🥰", posted on Friday, came a day after "💖". What the title leaves out, the comment section fills in.
Going by what viewers write back, the short is a message of encouragement aimed straight at whoever is watching: a reminder that they matter and that they were made for a reason. More than 2,600 comments arrived in its first day, about eleven times what a new Bridey Drake short usually gathers.
Most of them talk to her, not to each other. Viewers say they needed it today, several say it brought them to tears, and one plans to watch it every morning. A 60-year-old grandmother in America checks in, others mention a hard week of their own, and many answer in the language of faith, thanking God as much as Bridey. One viewer says the short gave their confidence such a lift that they started striding around.
It was not the channel's most watched video from that day. "#learningtocook", posted the same Friday, has gone several times further in views. But it is the quieter short, with nothing in its title but two smiling faces, that people stopped to answer.
