Self-sponsored creators are the future

Sponsorships are broken. - As a creator, I don't want to be told what to say. - As a follower, I don't trust sponsored words (unless there's skin in the game). Greedy creators will take any sponsor for more $$$ (check @bryan_johnson's video calling out the AG1 influencers program). Great creators like Theo will take the blame if followers dislike the brand or if the brand fucks up. I believe self-sponsored creators are the future — creators selling their own products and taking full ownership. - As a follower, I spent $2,000 on Bryan Johnson's blueprint diet to put the same thing in my body as he does. - As a creator, I promote my products only. If you don't like them, call me out. If you really don't like them, you can punch me in the face at my local beach break in Bali (careful, my wife does jiujitsu though). Theo has a massive audience of developers. Tons of little startup ideas to explore and make enough money to sponsor his team of 4.
