@25YearsAgoLive I have no idea why people are so averse to people getting paid to make the content. Like it doesn’t even cost them anything. Someone else is paying you and they are mad? This is legit work and I wish you the best!

[Fourth-Wall Break] I want to sit down with you all and seriously address something that happened today: I posted a piece of sponsored content and the backlash was overwhelmingly severe and extreme. I lost hundreds of followers and my replies and DMs were filled with accusations of being a “sellout,” a “grifter,” a “scammer,” and a “Jew.” I want to introduce myself and my case a little bit. I have worked on this project for several years, and each and every week I put 20-30 hours of work into this project. I make almost nothing - from X revenue sharing, I can usually expect less than $100/month, and from Patreon, another $75. I’m really passionate about this project and I want to continue it as a hobby while balancing my real job and my real life, but that’s difficult when I’m bringing in almost nothing from it, so that’s why I decided to run ads. Many creators on YouTube thank their sponsors. They spend many minutes of video time doing so. Many Instagram posts are devoted wholly to sponsored content. But when a post of mine on X featured sponsored content, many of you felt that was intolerable and lashed out in extreme ways. A concern some of you expressed in DMs was that posting sponsored content is a “slippery slope” that inevitably leads to “selling the account” or “making every post sponsored.” I want to reassure you all that this account is my life’s passion and I will continue doing it until the day I die. But I have to make a living as well. I have run sponsored content in the past; I am running sponsored content in the present. I am not sure why that act merits anger, if it’s only one post a day and it’s one reply that you can disregard easily. I make sure that the companies with whom I partner are ethical, and are doing it for the right reasons. I will never ever push a scam, crypto product, or meme coin on you. And today’s sponsor was none of those things, as much as many of you aggressively claimed that it was. Anyway, I welcome your feedback.

“They were looking for someone that would authentically, no shade, be preforming in a barn.”

I love him 🥹

@jennineak Happens more than you think smh

this is kind of surreal to me, who the fuck would do this to anyone

“I’ll bring ya family together” is a top tier threat lol

This is a storyline they would’ve given to Lynette Scavo

He was intent on killing somebody at some point

I’m ready to have a conversation on how Trader Joe’s is overrated

I'll bring ya family together.......

If you were a cheerleader or have kids that cheer, you know this man was just diabolical. Just the most capitalistic monopolistic man on the planet and why everyone hates Varsity.

You can’t slip nothing by the hive lmao

not he accidentally revealing act iii rehearsal tea with 6 inch

you’d think it was weird if an adult man wore something like a spider man graphic tshirt?

I actually just butst out crying when she got to this during the Cowboy Carter tour

And I would STILL go see him if he toured. I just will take his opinions and bad takes with a grain of salt when it comes with a lot of stuff.

But I don’t expect him to understand his part in capitalism and billionaires now being seen as unsavory. That was seen as the highest achievement for so long.

I love Jay Z. But he been out of touch since he got Tidal and came on here tweeting, trying to convince us to use it bc it would make the artist soooo much more money. Lost the plot about Kapernick was kinda the last straw lol.

...we knew st. ives was bad for your skin in 2016. are y'all talking about 2009?

Police: Can you describe the man that hit you with his car? Street takeover aficionado: Are you familiar with Norwegian expressionist Edvard Munch’s “The Scream”?

Booooo
