Brandon Cardoso, began as a rising star on TikTok, known for his engaging content that ranged from dance challenges to heartfelt vlogs. Born and raised in Massachusetts, Brandon’s journey began with a simple passion for entertaining others. His infectious energy and genuine personality quickly garnered him a loyal following. Brandon’s content often features his friends and family, giving his audience a glimpse into his everyday life. His ability to connect with viewers on a personal level has made him a beloved figure across all social media platforms.
Julian Barboza, on the other hand, has made a name for himself on Instagram and YouTube. Hailing from Texas, Julian’s content centered around a blend of fashion, lifestyle, and motivational posts. With a keen eye for style and a knack for storytelling, Julian has built a brand that resonates with young people around the world. His YouTube channel featured a mix of vlogs, fashion hauls, and advice videos, all delivered with his signature charm and wit. Julian’s journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and staying true to oneself.
Despite their different backgrounds and content styles, Brandon and Julian share a common goal: to inspire and uplift their audiences. Their paths crossed at a social media event, where they instantly clicked. Recognizing their shared values and complementary skills, they decided to collaborate on a series of projects.
Their first joint venture was a series of TikTok videos that combined Brandon’s dance skills with Julian’s fashion expertise. The collaboration was a hit, amassing millions of views and bringing their respective fan bases together. Encouraged by the positive response, they launched a YouTube series where they explored various topics, from mental health to personal growth, sharing their insights and experiences.

As their partnership grew, so did their influence. They began hosting live events and workshops, where they connected with fans in person and shared their journeys. Their authenticity and relatability made them role models for many young people navigating the complexities of social media and personal identity.
Like most web personalities, they have created their own Only Fans page. In the beginning they created solo content. Despite living together, it took them about seven months before they felt comfortable enough to make appearances in each other's live streams. Either way, the type of content they produced was lacking in some ways. Some of their fans started accusing them of Queer bating.
If you are not sure what Queer baiting is, here is a quick explanation:
"Queerbaiting involves hinting at LGBTQ+ relationships or characters without actually depicting them. This tactic is used to attract LGBTQ+ viewers and allies, but it often results in disappointment and frustration when the promised representation never materializes. It feels like a manipulative ploy to gain viewership without genuinely supporting or representing the community."
If you were to subscribe to their content today, they have made a real effort to support and give their fans what they want to see. They have begun collaborating with other male content creators, despite very limited if any collaborating with each other. Of course, this is not happening overnight, but they are definitely heading in the right direction. This brings me to their pricing model which can be on the pricey side, at least for me. They both have a free Only Fans page which offers very little content. It is meant to tease you and hopefully entice you to subscribe to the VIP pages.
They live stream frequently and are very friendly and responsive on those pages. Brandon will stream on his free page and has a tip menu and a goal. He will perform tasks related to each tip he receives (if it's on his tip menu). After reaching his goal he will end the free live stream and switch over to the VIP page and charge a fee to view the real spicy content. Being charged on the back end of the live stream doesn't sit well with many people, especially after getting him to his tip goal. A lot of people think this behavior is the equivalent of ripping them off.
There are some fans who question if they are actually performing the task in which they claim. Sometimes the camera is out of position and with no real view or proof, some are starting to call them out and are letting their subscriptions expire. After paying the VIP pages subscription price, they have adopted the PPV pricing.
In addition to his subscription price, tipping in the live streams and the PPV content which averages about $49.99 per video, you can quickly be relieved of your hard-earned money. In the live streams, Brandon's goal hovers around $1,000.00 while Julian's isn't very far behind with a $650.00 tip goal. Most people think that once they reach the goal, we will be rewarded with an onscreen happy ending because that's why we keep tipping. After the goal has been met, they end the stream then starts another one with a $14.99 entrance fee.
The following is directly from one of Julian's Only Fans posts:
"You guys showed so much love in here despite of all the hate I was getting elsewhere. You all have changed my life. You helped me get through one of the darkest moments of my life and y’all made me confident of my body more than ever. Y’all also motivated me to workout / go to the gym more so I can maintain a healthy and balanced body ++ mind. Knowing that this is ONLY the beginning of everything makes me so excited on whats more to cum 😏. Whether you’ve spent a dollar or thousands on me, I appreciate you FR FR"
I don't know how they do it but they are busy marketing their brands on just about all social media platforms all while hosting their podcast: The Wild Podcast, where they provide life updates, interview other web personalities, provide their Patreon followers with a chance to participate and be included on the podcast and they occasionally visit West Hollywood to interact with the LGBTQ+ Community to show their support while trying to learn more about our community and spread positivity.
When content creators acknowledge the fans and thank them, their stock goes up that much more in my book. While it is great to be thanked, I would recommend posting at least one video a month on your timelines as a way to show your appreciation and in exchange for our old mighty dollar.
In closing, no matter what you think of them, through their collaboration, Brandon and Julian have shown that success in the digital age is not just about numbers and followers, but about making meaningful connections and staying true to oneself. Their story is a reminder that with passion, creativity, and a little bit of courage, anyone can make a difference in the world.
