I don't need to be liked by everybody.

I would rather be truly liked, admired, respected, loved by a smaller group of people who I am, what I believe in, including the music I'm making,

than like half-ass liked by everybody.

Yeah, it's honestly a matter of having the time to do it.

And I want to prioritize it because it's a priority to me.

It's important.

But I also have several businesses to run.

And it's tough.

There isn't even a part of me that knows.

I often get a lot of support on what I'm posting.

And after doing it for so long now, almost two years, I was seeing it trend to just be so much more support.

And then I posted something just a couple of days ago that was Hamas versus the IDF.

I saw that.

And by the way, part of that's a tactic, right?

You put it there so that people look at that and want to see it.

And it's not me trying to stir the pot, but you have to hook people into even watching the content at all.

And unfortunately, for whatever reason, this one got less reach but then more hate.

It got like a ton of hate.

And I'm laughing about it now, but I'm human.

I'm affected by that.
