Out of touch with reality

Khangelani Chili

I was enjoying this show until I heard someone make a comment about how, “EVERYBODY IS A BRAND, these days.” The irony is that your podcast is adding to the same pile of brands and millions of minutes of content that exist out there. It’s sad because all it does it make people feel discouraged to even try and put content out there. I admire your bravery as black gay men, but I will not support people who say things that sound out of touch with reality. In the real world, people just need to do whatever they’ve got to do and your comment sounded judgemental.
