These cats get like 8-50k views man they not big time, i wouldnt stress if I was Ak



Ak probably make more money off youtube than both them combined
You niccas really got this YouTube money shyt f*cked up.

Is Ak seeing good bread? Yeah. Is Ak caking? Let me give you an example...

The Hodge twins have multiple channels with 1 million+ subs. Yet and still, these niccas branched out and did their own clothing and supplement line and for the past year and change basically stay on the road doing comedy shows. Recently they talked about how YouTube ad money has dried up. These niccas had to stop cussing just to get some crumbs of the ad money they used to get.

These dudes have 2 mil+ more subscribers than Ak and are out here trying to use every ounce of their notoriety and make all different kinds of maneuvers to maximize their earnings.

So again...is YouTube money holding Ak down when compared to the average guy making 60, 70 grand a year...yeah. Thinking he's making more than Desus and Mero combined from YouTube is foolishness though.

He just lost the reason tune into his ONLINE tv show on COMPLEX. How is he rising? Where is his next venture? He is not some hot commodity out here. I salute Ak for making a GREAT living on something I have been doing for free for close to 10-12 years, but he is not there to the point where is the one nikkas would beef off of to get hot. Your basis is so closed minded.
I hate Ak but would have to disagree, he does numbers on his youtube and I'm sure everyday struggle has only helped his brand so he is a big commodity. He also says he has lots of opportunities on the table so he is in a great position and is rising for sure. I know I would rarely ever watch him if it wasn't for this show, that's for sure, but let's be honest he has some strong supporters. It's on him not to fukk this up because he has the potential for this to take him to the next level.

They had a complex show before Ak was even relevant :mindblown:
True that but they are firing back at AK. I don't know if Ak indeed took shots at them but they are using the buzz from the Ak and Joe situation to boost their shyt. Even putting Vince's clips into this who hates Ak is 48 laws shyt and part of destroying your enemy and controlling the options. They may not even be realizing it but I think they definitely are using this to get more buzz and it's smart.

Y'all nikkas are living in a hip-hop twilight zone if you think DJ Akademiks is the guy in this situation. :dead: He may have y'all listening to his hip-hop gossip, but no one knows him like that. And the youtube money isn't even crazy anymore, they cut the ads down.

I been fukkin with Desus and Mero lateley but these nikkas seem out of touch. Nobody gives a fukk that these nikkas had on celebrities and had celebrity cosigns when their highest views on youtube is the same views of an average Everyday Struggle clip, let alone one of Ak's own channels videos. Only :flabbynsick: nikkas think TV is still the wave but young nikkas are cutting cable more and more year after year and they seem to be fukkin with Ak way more then Desus and Mero. Desus and Mero are both more talented than AK but AK provides way better content. Its why that nikka has 1.3m suscribers
