I CAN’T BELIEVE IT
We took my 10 million subscriber diamond plaque to pawn shops to see how much they would buy it for… We also tested to see if it was real diamond!
What is the Diamond Play Button and what does it symbolize for YouTube creators?
As video platforms have become increasingly popular over the years, some of the biggest content creators have been awarded with coveted Diamond Play Buttons in recognition of their success. However, for one creator, selling this prestigious award was a difficult and controversial decision.
For those unfamiliar, the Diamond Play Button is a award given to YouTube creators who have surpassed 10 million subscribers. The award is a symbol of success and achievement in the online video community, and is highly prized by its recipients.
As a content creator myself, I was proud and grateful to receive my own Diamond Play Button. However, as time went on, I found myself considering selling the award. It wasn’t that I didn’t appreciate the recognition or that I didn’t feel that I had earned it – on the contrary, I was immensely proud of my achievement. However, as my career evolved, I began to think about the potential financial gain that could come from selling the award.
After much deliberation, I decided to move forward with selling the Diamond Play Button. I listed it on several auction and resale websites, and was quickly inundated with messages from potential buyers. While I was originally hesitant about selling the award, the high demand and valuable offers quickly swayed me.
There were many people who criticized my decision to sell the Diamond Play Button, arguing that it was a symbol of my success and that it was disrespectful to sell something that held such meaning. However, for me, the decision ultimately came down to a matter of pragmatism – I saw the opportunity to make a significant amount of money, and I decided to take it.
While I have no regrets about selling the Diamond Play Button, I do recognize that it was a difficult decision to make. There was a certain emotional connection that I had to the award, and selling it felt like I was losing a part of myself. However, I believe that it’s important for creators to evaluate their achievements based on more than just symbols and awards. In the end, the value of my content and my impact on my audience was what truly mattered.
In conclusion, selling my Diamond Play Button was a difficult and controversial decision, but one that I ultimately felt was the right choice for me. While some may disagree with my choice, I believe that creators should be able to make their own decisions about their achievements and how they choose to monetize them. As the online video community continues to evolve, it’s important that we continue to have these conversations about what success truly means, both on and off the screen.
