I am a great fan of self-portraits. I am not the best photographer, but I’m my own best model, that’s for sure. At the same time, I don’t really like selfies and I rarely take them.

But I gave it a thought, and I came up with several essential differences between a self-portrait and a selfie....
“It’s a camera bag, for God’s sake. Just pick one already.” Therese was losing patience.

Some videos, naturally, deserve all the dislikes they receive, but many are simply the victim of trolls and haters. Well, YouTube’s been experimenting recently and they’ve decided that they’re going to start hiding the dislike count.
