That content creators have for making money is very real. Almost everyone would cave for the kind of money that gets offered. It is just the reality. I have avoided it because personally I value integrity over money and always will. That being said I do not neccessarily thibk that accepting the offers makes any of them bad people. Quai for example was offering $5k for a video. Vosk made it clear it was sponsored and followed all the legal guidelines. I don’t think he did anything wrong. However, I think it is also inportant that I make it clear how the game is played. I am walking a thin line I suppose. One that is honest but not damning of others. It can be difficult. The fact is I chose locals and an ecourse to monetize because even though it is way less profitable I get to keep my integrity in tact and still monetize my passion. The benefit of the path others have chosen is that they don’t need to take money directly from the audience. Some may think that is better. To me it’s just a list of pros and cons and depends on your perspective. I don’t want to foster a community that attacks other creators though either, so I feel it is important to clarify these thoughts semi regularly. Basically the idea is that I wouldn’t choose to do it the way Vosk or even RPM do it because I have a different perspective; but I don’t thibk that it makes them bad actors if that makes sense. Basically I am saying that this community is a reflection of me and I think that treating others with understanding is important. You can not like how someone does something and understand why they do it and not hate them for it. I am basically saying that I want to do better as a community of being both positive while maintaining integrity.
