The money or the truth !

After all we always have two options, either to be fully materialists, or to be real !

As a non-native English speaker, I heard so much about being real, but not fake. And I always wanted to understand what people mean by that. Usually it's not clear what they meant by that. So, I had to experiment to understand. I mean our journey in creating content is after all an experiment where we see how our audience reacts, and it's up to us to give them what they want, or to keep sharing your truth no matter how the audience reacts.

I'm seeing so many famous vloggers and even bloggers using this technique. I mean, giving the audience what they want and leaving their authenticity behind ! Especially when I see one narrative supported the most. I even see people having nothing to do with the topic, or not even knowing anything about it, but just repeating what others say to get rewarded. They know where the money is. And they may think that no one is noticing that. Of course those who have been in this for so long, they can distinguish the real from the fake, in terms of whether someone is really sharing his/her opinion, or just repeating it after others, or for money.

And the interesting thing is that finding ourselves in such situation where we have to choose between support and truth, it's sometimes hard to do. But the thing we should do is hearing our intuition, hearing what real people are loud about. And mostly the truth comes from real people, but not journalists, or even famous vloggers. Because we all know how the algorithms of social media work and who own them. That's why taking it for granted from the mass media or someone popular in a social media could be a slippery slope.

After all we have to think twice about the side we take. Money can go away, but the reputation will be hard to restore.

Because even with the truth we can earn that money, but that will be clean.

We never should let the greed win in us.

Let's do what's better for people !
