Disappointing Stream Experience Leads to Reevaluation of Content Consumption
In the world of content creation, kindness and respect should
be at the forefront of every creator's mindset. While it's natural to encounter
criticism or challenging situations, it's crucial for content creators to
maintain a positive and respectful demeanor, even when faced with negativity.
This is especially true when they receive tips or financial support from their
audience. In this blog post, I will tell you about my experience with Julian
Barboza.
Recently, I came across a live stream hosted by Julian
Barboza. The stream had a set goal that viewers could contribute towards in
exchange for a reward. While taking part in the stream, I saw an exchange that
left me rethinking my support for his content.
During the live stream, the conversation shifted towards
celebrity crushes. When viewers began suggesting names, Julian expressed his
dislike for many of the suggestions, particularly those of actors Megan Fox and
Beyonce. His primary objection appeared to be their age, using terms like
"ugly" and "too old" to describe them. He then moved
on to talking how the women that were being mentioned were not attractive which
was all age related. He followed that up with saying, “I don’t understand how
you guys think women in their 30's and 40's are hot because they're not!"
While personal preferences are undeniable, I found the
commentary focused on age to be age-shaming. I felt compelled to respectfully
voice my disagreement in the chat. Unfortunately, Julian's response was
unprofessional and dismissive. His response was, STFU! I'll say whatever I
want in here, you p*ussy. Then he continued with, I can't believe someone came
in my stream and tried to tell me what I should and should not say, if you
don't like it, you can get the fuck out of here.
This interaction prompted me to re-evaluate my support for
Julian's content. Despite having contributed a significant amount towards
tonight's stream's goal as well as in the past, I decided it would be my last
contribution. It's important to me to support creators who foster a positive
and inclusive environment.
Furthermore, Julian co-hosts content is potentially affected
by this behavior. He a co-host on a podcast with Brandon Cardoso on Patreon, a
platform which I am also a subscriber to. Either Julian has not thought about
it or worse doesn't care how his actions could negatively affect his co-host
and current roommate Brandon Cardoso. I will say Julian's actions have
unfortunately influenced my decision to re-evaluate my continued support for
their collaborative work as well.
Moving forward, I will focus on supporting content creators
who show respect for their audience and avoid negativity in their interactions.
At this point in time, I will follow Julian's suggestion by
GTFO and search for content creators who appreciate their subscribers and hope
they will not try and squeeze every dollar out of them like Julian Does. I will
continue to subscribe, watch and support Brandon Cardoso’s own and separate content.
Remember, the impact of our actions extends far beyond the
content we create, and fostering a kind and respectful environment is essential
for long-term success in the digital landscape
