I saw something interesting today where there is this guy who from what it appears has made a living out of being extremely outspoken and rude as a way to entertain. It seemed like he had a lot of followers too. For one reason or another it seemed like he was recently trying to raise money for a charity. The thing was, it seemed like he couldn’t really get any sponsors despite him having a large following.<\/p>\n
I guess that is an obstacle as if you are in that situation a lot of companies want to stay away from associating themselves in a business way with a persona that may be too dark\/controversial even though the people themselves may very well be a fan of some sort. That then makes people think from the start if everything you do should try to be say as clean as possible.<\/p>\n
At the same time, you could argue there are a ton of people who do get the support and aren’t afraid of pushing boundaries. It’s just a lot harder to find that support I guess you can say. I think it’s even more true that if you are going in a direction that goes against the majority then you have to be prepared first to pretty much fund yourself. If you expect to do things so different than I suppose it’s reasonable that you need to take a different path for funding too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
