Month 1 in the books! The first month on @HotDropApp was amazing. It’s everything I thought, hoped, believed it would be.

If you’re looking for a better place to be on the internet, Hotdrop is it. We are making it better together.

Hotdrop is ontological.

It’s a place the creator world identity can simply exist.

Pretty much anyone reading this has played Last Wish raid. Shuro Chi prepares an ontological weapon. Defeating the guardian isn’t the goal, it’s erasing from existence. The only way to survive is coordination to reach your door, to reach safety.

@HotDropApp is your door. It’s open.

Tagging @danfinitygg @Skarrow9 and @A_dmg04 because I think they’d appreciate this metaphor.

@PauseResetPlay Josey for all my ribbing on you I’m glad you streamed you gave a place to feel safe enough just to be me and a community full of love and positivity a place built from your soul to ares I’m infinitely grateful and owe you the world thank you sir

When I streamed a lot, of course I wanted to grow. I wanted to get a silver play button. I have all sorts of screenshots on my phone. Things that were exciting and I wanted to share with people I care about.

Years later I’m still proud of those screenshots. But what I remember most was helping people, or at least making it a priority. My streams of course were built on that. Helping people get things in Destiny!

But I also remember trying to help other creators, as best I could in whatever shape made most sense and took the greatest meaning. I felt it was a dharma. If someone who has a similar dream as mine is here with me in my streams, how can I help?

As a creator, what turned out to be the most exciting thing for me was helping others feel excitement and belonging and identity validation as a peer. I’m proud of that and I’m thankful to have been afforded the opportunity to do it. It was special and it mattered to me then, possibly even more so now.

Twitter sucks for most creators. It’s shouting into a void.

Instagram and TikTok suck for most creators. You’re competing with slop farms.

Discord is siloed. Connecting outside your space is difficult and tests boundaries.

Hotdrop doesn’t have the noise, the slop farms, the barriers.

@HotDropApp is better for creators and their crews.

[Josey @PauseResetPlay]

HotDrop update is out!

If you're a creator or someone who watches streams, hotdrop is for you.

It blends stories, a feed, and live streams. If you stream, you'll have a better chance of being seen by new people.

HotDrop is all your homies in one place. Everyone there is directly a part of the creator world. Come hang out!

On @HotDropApp you can make your own website. If you’re a small streamer or just getting started on YouTube, you might like it more than a traditional link-in-bio tool. It’s also free.

Oh. There’s also a ton of awesome people on hotdrop.

Why I made hotdrop:

Back in 2016 I made my first YouTube video. I thought I could do it. I thought I could be something. Someone. I have screenshots on my phone of reaching milestones. Random ones, too - like when a new video was doing well and my views for the last 24 hours was good!

When I was around 300 subs, I noticed a bunch of email alerts for new subscribers. A larger content creator had referenced a video I made! It was a special moment. At the time seeing the new subscribers and comments was awesome. But what emerged from that was even more special.

What I’ve come to learn is that in content creation, some of the most impactful moments are when you don’t feel small. It could be someone liking a video, or commenting. It could be someone coming and talking to you in stream. Or even just someone tagging you. Confirmation that what you’re doing, the choices you’re making, that they matter and mean something and are being recognized.

Dignity.

For as wonderful as the creator ecosystem is, it has gaps. And not one single place addresses these things entirely.

I built hotdrop because I believe it’s the missing piece. It’s the piece I would have told @cbgray_ about when we were doing our toys for tots stream in 2018.

It’s what I would have told @Marcusbgaming about when I introduced myself to him after finding his channel mentioned in a Reddit thread all those years ago.

It’s what I would have told @Shellski5 to join whe she was considering streaming for the first time.

It’s the place I would have told @PAID2BFAMOUS and @ThatUnknownyt about because it because their dreams and goals have a home there.

Hotdrop is a place where the content creator ecosystem can simply exist. It’s a place that will feel familiar to you because of the features, but even more so because of who is there.

I built this piece by piece over 5 months. Hundreds of hours, thousands of miles doordashed. I built this because it’s what I think the creator space deserves. And I sincerely hope and pray it deserves you.

[Josey @PauseResetPlay]

I streamed tonight and had a lot of fun. And so many people were there! Which feels incredible and also like I don't deserve it, with how long it's been. I'm very thankful for that support and the opportunity I have to be a creator. 🤞��️❤️
