Is it a wrap for DJ Akademiks? Desus and Mero on his neck now

[Spacely Sparkus]

Ak definitely making more bread than these nikkas
Twitch, Youtube, Complex, instagram and the occasional payola bag

Fact is, Ak get more streams anywhere compared to them
+ all their guests come on their show after doing Everyday Struggle

I still don't get how can anyone stan Wackademics, it's the equivalent to someone stanning the director of TMZ

i think it's because he's basically a more successful version of themselves

 

[NYK Loyalist]

It's unbelievable that people Stan for akademics. I tried to watch an episode of everyday struggle and couldn't even make it through because of him. Maybe it's because I came up in the 90's but that guy is a cornball.

The shyt that Desus and Mero are doing is way bigger than anything akademics has ever done and probably will ever do. Unless Joe is taking him wherever he is going YouTube is probably going to be it for akademics.

These dudes have a late night show on TV while Wackademics is playing videogames drunk on twitch to entertain his fanbase of 14 year olds.

Wackademics stans

And now Ak is making moves and rising

Not a Stan. I just spit facts

The man is cool and all...but I really don't get the stanning either...

Like this nikka...literally just talks about people for a living....

Like he has no talent and no real appeal...besides reporting the news of drug addicted rappers...

You think...social media these days really pays more than TV?




Everybody that grinds on YouTube and Instagram wanna be on TV and not the other way around...

What moves? He hasn't done anything yet. shyt, Joe was the one who left the show, and already, three days in, shyt has thousands of dislikes. I respect AK for being able to monetize posts from Coli, KTT, and Reddit, but let's be real,he's horrible at interviews, not charismatic enough to host to anyone but his fanbase, and most rappers don't fukk with him. How exactly is he going to get anywhere near D&M success.

You're not spitting facts, you're just caping for a dude based off the fact that he might do something. Even though he has a limited skill at doing anything other than play gossip girl at home.

 

[Terrance Curtis Beasley]

you don't need youtube views when you're getting cable tv money and sponsored podcast money.

so basically they are industry plants. they are everywhere but nobody watching their shyt

a 3 minute video of akademiks commenting lil pumps new haircut got more views than their entire youtube channel. they are on cuz they got connections

 

[King Jove]

so basically they are industry plants. they are everywhere but nobody watching their shyt

their tv show must be doing something for them to be able to book guest like jason sudiekis and andy cohen. guys like that don't just show up to any random talk show.


and people were definitively watching desus vs mero when it was on complex and their podcast is popular too.

Lol but they got deals with Nike and ESPN a tv show a Netflix series.

 

[Hungerpain]

Hearing Akademiks tryna talk "cool" is hilarious to me.
Son you're a dweeb/vulture and you literally just came outside like 8 months ago.
fukk outta here.

Dude came into complex and rose up.

Joe on his podcast announced that he is cool with Ak AND wants him on his podcast.

So basically Ak can make his money on complex and can be on Joes show and continue their interactions

Ak is hot and your just a hater bruh.

They get people like Jason Sudekis on because of connections, TV is old money and we are in a transition period. TV is losing money day by day but they still have hella bread from the before the internet era. Ak has more views on any random video than their entire Youtube channel. Most likely the demo that Desus and Mero are looking for (18-34) is more likely looking at AK's page as that demo is more likely on the internet and AK has the internet numbers. I fukk with Desus and Mero but just because you have the old money backing you does not mean the people are backing you.

Don’t even bother breh, Ak stans are clearly kids who don’t know about real life yet

that old money is still paying them to do their show on their tv network. maybe in the future tv money will be obsolete but it hasn't happened yet.

plus desus and mero also get bags outside of just viceland.

they still have a podcast sponsored by red bull, live podcast that you have to pay to see, pop up shops, a netflix show, espn, etc.

they hustle and keep building connects. like real connects in hollywood and new york. like hanging out with shane smith and spike jonze type of connects.

the youtube bubble is also bursting because of demonetization.
