All these people complaing about Jordan don’t realise that he started with nothing. Before his channel started he had high plans for education but dropped out from depression and other personal reasons.
He worked hard at his channel and has always tried to make himself a good role model. The media always focuses on the money of the situation - not the struggle beforehand. Most YouTubers didn’t expect to get money, their just sharing what they love doing most, which is playing video games.
Like, are we not going to talk about KSI?? He bought a mason at the top a skyscraper, and is having a swimming pool AIR LIFTED BY HELICOPTER onto his open terrace.
Pewdiepie? Everyone complains about how much money he earns - he gives most of it to charity because he almost feels bad for having so much money he doesn’t really need.
Same for Markiplier.
No one gives media attention to the dark side. In Korea, players are literally farmed like battery chickens to be a great e-sports players for League of Legends. One man jumps off a 20-something story building when he realised the truth. Thank heavens something broke his fall and he lived..only just though.
Jordan is living his dream, but he worked his ass off for it. Everyone complaing they work their asses off too but can’t by 4.3millon mansion. Well neither could he 3 years ago!
Take it as a fucking message. Don’t take it the wrong way and sob in jealousy - take it as an insperation and keep working hard, because you will get there too some day. Perseverance will get you anywhere.
I think this video sums up why media makes youtube out to be just for basement dwellers and tries to make it not be taken seriously
Essentially it says if people treat youtube as legitimate entertainment, medias will lose a lot of money. I think that’s part of the reason people refuse to acknowledge him as a celeberty and the other part is that people are jealous that they aren’t charismatic enough to run a successful youtube channel. I jsut hope that jardon buying this house will help people realize that youtube is a legit source of entertainment.
Seriously though, why are people shitting on jardon for buying a big house
He’s a celeberty. he has action figures of himself that can be bought at toy stores. He entertains millions of people. He has a steady source of income from his streams and merch. He’s essentially self employed. Him buying a big house is no different from johnny dep or nicki minaj buying a big house. He’s earned all this by being charismatic and funny. If anything, peoples reactions are disappointing because Jardon being in forbes should make it easier for people to recognize youtube as a legitimate source of entertainment. Nobody pisses on bill murray or estelle for buying an expensive house so why is this any different?
Why do you hate it? He’s an entertainer It’s no different than if johnny depp or nicki minaj bought a fancy place. If anything, this is good because it means that there’s a chance that youtube entertainers will start being taken more seriously. In TV shows like jimmy kimmel and various magazines like time, they make youtube entertainment seem more like a niche thing for basement dwellers because if people focus on youtube more than actual TV, then the TV stations will lose money. The fact that spaklez got into forbes means that youtubers can get taken more seriously. Or are do you hate it because you don’t have the charisma to run a successful youtube channel?
