Hello Emily! This makes me so happy. Thank you for showing us what true courage is, especially after seeing waves of hate targeted at others who have done the same recently. I can’t wait to see you in videos again when you’re ready. Much love ❤️❤️
I automatically click with people who put pineapple on pizza. Why?
Cause it tells me you don’t give a fuck about what “belongs”. You just know what’s delicious.
Fuck tradition. Sausage. pineapple. romano cheese crust.

Hey there Day9. I was browsing the interwebs todays and came across a clip of yours. I felt compelled to create a gif because it made me laugh so hard. Cheers.
A real brand deal I just got offered (that should be an unfathomable and unforgettable red flag to you):
-Brand provides x1 product @ $75 value
-Deliverable requested is a single short form video 30-60s to be posted on my profile w/ 230k followers.
Here is what the brand
If you're considering a career change, consider a job in IT! Where customers will pay you $200+/hour to tell them what to do, and then disregard all advice, do it themselves, fuck it up, and then pay you again to fix what they fucked up and say "god i hate technology"

This is the correct answer. That said, we have a commitment to dealing with GPL violations in good faith, and in the case of TikTok/Bytedance we would be happy to have a friendly working relationship with them as long as they comply with the license.
Apparently April is snake oil salesman month, and another one bites the dust. Blocked when backed into a corner tells it all.
If you follow this person, tread very carefully. He runs a company that sells “PC tunes” and “network upgrades” for gamers and streamers. Stay away.
DON'T GET YOUR DISCORD HACKED.
This phishing attempt is still going around on Discord. I didn't even realize it until I saw the link ended in .exe because it came from someone who very well could have asked me to do this.
Be safe out there :) Make sure your mods know.

I hope you read through the other replies in this thread and educate yourself on why this is actually in violation of the licensing.
Unfollow me if you support what happened today. In fact tell all your L friends about me too so they can do the same.

When with this myth leave our universe?
- Computers are designed to be on. You're not doing more damage by leaving it on
- Hard drives average lifespan is 40-45k hours before degradation. That means 12 years of 10 hours of use a day.
- The difference between the wear and tear
As a former IT tech I am begging you guys to turn off your computers each night. Your hard drive WILL wear out faster, updates won’t go through like they should, and it’s also just a waste of electricity 😭😭😭
This might be awful advice if content creation is your job and pays your bills, but good advice if you’re part time or hobbyist:
The audience doesn’t run your shit. And the ones that think they do, are creativity kryptonite.
Your show. Your choice. Your ramifications. Run it.
I love beer & whiskey. Gettin buzzed is awesome, but I also see danger in it. I’ve never had a break from drinking since age 18, so in July I decided to stop buying booze for the house. So far, down 40lbs.
If you’re wondering “what if I just took a break?” Please try it.
White men have the easiest life out of anyone on the planet and they’re out here crying about bud light. How embarrassing.

1️⃣ The GoXLR is not “dead”

Thank you
@browsercompany
for the gift, you guys have been amazing and I support you SO HARD.
Brands will refuse to send you a $50 product that costs half that to make because you won’t guarantee to make a video on a product you’ve never heard of before.
So you won’t let $25 go, but you expect creators to drop 3-6 hours on a video AND advertise it?
Come on…
Dear fellow creators who have less followers/subscribers/engagement than I do, or think you’re “smaller”….
…I get more inspiration and motivation from watching you work than I do larger creators who are leagues ahead of me. You’re doing great. Thank you. ❤️

Are you nervous about leaving Discord servers because of how the owner will take it? Saw a few comments on this, so let me share some insight.
1. Most importantly, you can't control others feelings or reactions to your action. Nor is your responsibility to do so. So stop it XD
Dear anyone, I left every single Discord server I was in except 1)a best friend 2) brands/creators I'm actively working with. If I haven't opened your server in more than a week, I left. Started 2 months ago, and I think I went from 70+ to 8.
It ain't you, it me.
Fellow creators, your biggest fear is true. When you take a break, the audience forgets you exist. It doesn’t even matter how long you’re gone, the effect is the same.
And then you come back, and they forget you even took a break.
Take the break.
Brand: "We want to send you free stuff!"
Me: "Okay! What's the terms?"
Brand: "Make a 30s video"
Me: "K. Money?"
Brand: "Sorry no payment. But 5% commission of sales"
Me: "Oh"
Brand: "Also here is the video script. Post video within 14 days."
That's called a free ad, lol. No.

@cozywithronnie
Hey there - I spent many months posting about how ridiculous it was that they hadn't addressed the issue. The last time I posted, I finally got a response saying they published an update to fix. I head from some that it did indeed fix. Hope it does the same for you!
Creators who are doing product review videos, take photos as you go!
Just in the last month, I've sold usage rights to 3 photos. They weren't part of the deal, but I included them in my deliverables package and the brands inquired about them.
Take initiative and show value 💟
Story time. We’re losing a customer to another IT company.

Well, it works! 😂
2 PC’s. 2 physical monitors. 5 total displays. 1 keyboard + mouse.
Wether it works well, only the coming weeks will tell. But I got a good feeling. There will be quirks, but I’m impressed.

Content creation as a hobby is very rough. You spend so much time and research to make stuff for others to freely enjoy, and your reward is being dehumanized and called names.
I’m 🤏🏼 close to my villain arch.
If another streamer is promising chance of a raid, host, or tip in exchange for you having to be involved in their stream, discord, or interact with their social media (like TikTok)...
You are being taken advantage of.
