it's crazy to think how much of content creation is just not giving up before you finally get lucky

[Shuryuken778 @RayRodriguez778]

@HisWattson In my opinion they need to punish dying harder it's not the drop ships or the old way of landing

Don’t worry about what others think of you.

Start worrying if you don’t love yourself. Believe in yourself. ❤️

@HisWattson Goated advice

[GuhRL @heyGuhRL]

Before I played Apex Legends I was advised by a very well known Youtuber (RonenGG) not to play popular games because discoverability is nearly impossible. What he said did make sense but I played Apex anyway. Why? Because I loved it. And after years of dedication, nearly 15,000 hours streamed in total... I have built an amazing community, played in several tournaments, got to be apart of official Apex events, worked with some incredible brands, get to playtest some amazing games and do what I love for a living. All that because of my passion. FOLLOW YOUR HEART!

Wattson mentioned God chose this path for him. I fully believe that & feel similar

In February 2019, Apex dropped & I started streaming. 8 months later, I was thinking about quitting trying to be a streamer & going back to real estate ( I was still working real estate 60+ hours a week & streaming 60+ hours every week). With anything in life, I need to see progress with what I’m doing or I don’t feel like I’m succeeding. I was stuck at 50/60 viewers & no matter how many raids I got & 24 hour streams I did, still didn’t make much progress. I went to get dinner w my friend & the main topic was me quitting streaming. He was telling me to stay with streaming because that’s what I loved. We went through the drive through of Kelly’s Roast Beef. I forgot to get a drink & asked him to pull over so I could walk in & get one. While I was walking to the counter, the cashier was looking at me weird & in my mind I was thinking “the fuck is this guy looking at.” When I got 5 feet away from the counter he looked at me with a smile & said “Yo do you play Apex” I instantly started smiling, probably to this day, hardest I’ve ever smiled in my life. I replied “yeah dude haha” & he says “dude are you WeThePeople” & I lost my mind haha. I can’t describe that feeling & the closest thing I could compare it to would be being a little kid waking up at Christmas morning. He didn’t have a twitch & never watched a single stream but followed me on Instagram & enjoyed the content. At the time, I had 1000 something followers on IG so the chances of me getting recognized were slim to none. We talked for 5 minutes & he gave me a chocolate frappe for free (coolest thing ever). His name was Tom & he’s the reason I never quit streaming. We still stay in touch on IG. I feel like meeting Tom was a sign from God for me to stay on the path that I was on with streaming.

Fast forward to 2023, again I wasn’t seeing much progress. I was a recognizable name in Apex but still averaged 100-150 & I was making enough money to support myself but no where close to what I’d need to help support a family (Always wanted a wife & kids in the future). Streaming has never been about the money to me, I’m truly doing something I love but we need money to survive. I was thinking about getting a corporate job in the video game industry or going back to real estate & stream in my spare time. I was talking to one of my viewers SkubaSkeeve (He’s been part of my community since I started streaming, watched every single stream & been one of my biggest supporters financially on Twitch) & I mentioned to him I was thinking about not being a streamer full time anymore. He was sad & said he believed in the stream blowing up in the future but said I gotta do what I gotta do. A month later, season 17 dropped & I was grinding how I’ve normally grinded for the last 4 years of my career. Didn’t play ranked day 1 of the season cause I was going for #1 kills on Ballistic. Played for 4 hours & raged off. Next day I played ranked with Diffq & Sang & hit top 100 pred. Next day I was top 10 & Diff & Sang asked me why don’t I go for #1? Diff said “this season is made for you, no one can out grind you.” Still I kept grinding at about the same pace I always have. Ended up becoming the #1 Pred a few weeks later & it changed my life. I never planned on being rank 1 & even though I grinded, almost felt like I was given #1. Monetarily, going from 150 viewers to averaging 3k for an entire season since hitting #1 was insane. The feeling of going live & within 1 hour having 1000 people from around the world tuning in is a feeling I can’t put into words. It truly changed my life. It helped me get the opportunity to host ALGS (something I’ve fell in love with) & so many other opportunities.

Truly feel like God is the reason I’m still streaming full time. It’s a blessing to do what I love as a career. Thank you to every single person who’s been part of my journey

No battlepass for me!

Ranked is thee most useless playlist, no ties to competitive whatsoever (the biggest part of your game) Skins cost more then entire meals and cheaters run the entire game.
