Ever since I was a kid I’ve wanted to start a YouTube channel where I prank people, pickup people of the opposite gender (dating advice), and financial advice. Am I risking my career here? E.g. coworkers/boss find my content and find it offensive and I lose my job/career (struggle to get job in future)
Do what you love. Fuck it
❤️ you only live once and I don’t know if I can go to my grave knowing I never pursued this.
Don’t bother, those pranks are overplayed and won’t give you a good rep. Of the 1% you see on the search results, there is the 99% that do the same thing with no views. If you don’t care about rep though, by all means, have fun with it.
True - though I’m more in it for the fun and laughs. It would be great though if it could replace my income.
Prank videos are very distasteful, but having a YouTube channel is always a differentiator, if you have interesting content add it to your resume. With that said, try exploring other types of content, doesn’t have to be related to your job but something less controversial.
No offence and maybe I've misunderstood you - but I'm not very inclined to take financial advice from.a YouTuber who also does prank videos. However as others have said - do what you love. Life is short. In a 100 years time none of us will be around to tell you it was a good or bad idea.
Aww cute. You can start it under a diff name and change your look a bit like wear a cap or sunglasses. Tbh even I wanted to do this but I’m on visa so did not as USCIS is a b1tch.
Yeah, use a pseudo name and some kind of cap/sunglasses. So, if by any chance someone finds the pranks offensive, they can't really track you down easily.
If it’s offensive enough to get you fired, not a good idea to do it anyways, you can get banned by YouTube
The financial advice idea is the only safe one. No pranks or dating stuff
