He said:

“Imma say something real quick; I'm going to be honest. One thing I learnt with this sh*t bro a lot of people have been talking about how this sh*t should be on Netflix, how this sh*t should be on Amazon Prime,” he said about his Streamer University.
“We already been getting talks with different people but I wanna go ahead and say this- that an idea like this so original, you gotta keep it were its at. You wanna know why? I want you to learn something bro, your channels are who you are as a person. Your channels, your pages of being content creators; this is your idea. Treat your platform as if you would treat other platforms. Shout out to all these big platforms they have subscriptions bro. Twitch– I think of it like this, if you gonna sub up you going to get some good sh*t. You all have the opportunity to make your platform as another platforma that you see. They all doing the same thing. Its the same thing exact thing.”

“Bro lost millions.”

Similar comments echoed this sentiment.

“Like if we seen it on our screens and fw the creators we would definitely then go sub and tune into they personal streams obviously but idk I feel the way we are seeing it is unorganized and rushed and a streaming company would’ve gave it a different push,” @liiyahameliia commented.
“If this is real, biggest L in streaming history. Bro turned down mainstream audience and professional assistance to prove a point?” @annon_male replied.
“ImAgine turning down Netflix which would give you global access plus Amazon prime...smh! Did nobody teach these folks distribution, etc Wtf,” @XaiTcp added.

“global exposure? With Netflix? Netflix probably need him more than he needs them. These companies aren’t your friend, they’d probably come with bs contract details like we own this now and you can’t do this and that. Doing your own thing is always better,” @GapeBongani commented.
“He has control of the money. Letting all those people get involved means they will start trying to control how it’s done, they will take most of the money and we all know in hollyweird it’ll just get worse. I think he’s making a damn good choice.” @LedBetterTarra wrote.
“Learn IP. I have a newfound respect for you and everything you just did @KaiCenat These big companies have bank but they DO NOT have the creativity, period. Very glad I tuned in.” @blizzydiamond added.
