We all know the entertainment industry is rapidly changing. Marketing dollars are shifting from platform to platform. Money, power, and fame is now more accessible to the young than ever before. Entertainment starts to turn into a popularity contest, claws come out, and back stabbing happen. No one is to blame here. In fact this is nature's way of giving back to the people, giving the people a voice as to what we would like to consume as entertainment and chose the path for our nation.
As a content creator in a position of influence now, the baton is now in my hands. It won't be forever as someone younger will take over, but for the time being, it's my corporate social responsibility or duty to voice my opinion. As a people we develop with unity. As a community we push forth and improve. Internal conflict doesn't help us at all, fighting amongst ourselves simple puts us behind other nations and stagnates our progress. As opinion leaders in this day in age, let's think, and let's lead in the best direction we can.
A younger me had a "I'll bully the bullies" mentality. I would stand up for what's right and fight. But now I see a different way. Let me focus my time and energy onto my fans and fellow content creators. Every time you support and encourage me, every time you send me words of encouragement, it reminds me of how blessed I am to do what I love and be able to give back. Everyone is a loser is this "YouTube Drama" the only winner is YOU. YOU who isn't discouraged and continues to believe in your dreams. YOU who picks up your cellphone and starts to snap and create. YOU who one day I will meet and say I'm a fan of.
This is my theory: "The majority of the population slaves away at jobs they don't desire. They come home to 2-3 hours a day to spend with their loved ones. This is the time I am a part of your life. It's my job and calling to make sure that those 2-3 hours you spend with your loved ones are the BEST times in your lives. Because those are the moments you look back and smile about when time runs out." I promise you I WILL give my life to making sure these hours are the best they can be. I will do everything in my power to make that happen. That also means I will clear anything and everything in my path to keep this promise with YOU. It's just YOU and ME baby. Now let's start creating.
Keep Rockin' God Bless* (Cocks my wrist back, and sprinkles salt like #SaltBae)
