Introducing “They Will Kill You” - From YouTube to Steemit (and Everywhere in Between)
Hello Steemit community!
My name is Angelo & I’m the producer of the YouTube channel They Will Kill You (as I write this, we currently have over 841,000 subscribers). I’m excited to support & be a part of this fast-growing platform & hope to help it expand even further by encouraging my viewers/subscribers to get actively involved in it as well, as I find the idea of blockchain-based social media so innovative!
My main goal of joining Steemit is not to make money (although that’s a HUGE perk!) but rather, to use it as a means of providing valuable, meaningful content without having to worry about YouTube’s censorship, restrictions, & ever-changing ad policies, while at the same time raising awareness of Steemit by promoting it to my subscriber base :)
I’m currently based out of Las Vegas, Nevada but within the next month will be selling most of my belongings & packing my bags to live/work remotely throughout the world! I spend a lot of time with my girlfriend in Vienna, Austria but also make frequent trips to Asia & Latin America for business purposes.
If you have any ideas or suggestions on how we can help build up this community together, hit me up at anytime! Thanks & I hope to hear from you all soon :)

Edit: Verified on YouTube!
Wow, hello! You have a huge following!
Do you mind if I verify that you own the Youtube account? I'm going to comment on your latest video, please just reply to confirm that you're the same person. This is just to help avoid impersonation and identity theft.
Done :)
you guys are interesting
@demontruk you the real MVP. and @theywillkillyou Angelo Welcome to Steemit! @jerrybanfield who has about 160K followers in youtube spreads a word about Steemit and that's how I joined. Letting your followers know about Steemit will be huge boost to Steemit community. Thanks in advance!
Demotruk, please - I dont want to sound so suspiciously, but big youtubers often do have moderators who take care of their channels. I also do manage a couple of channels and I can just reply to your comment to "verify" myself as somebody that I am not. Replying to a comment is not a good verification in my opinion.
You know, it is different with jerrybanfield as you can really see that it is him and he do promote himself and his steemit posts.
But we can really hope this is the real theywillkillyou! :)
Please do not take it as a insult from me theywillkillyou. They were some people who did identity-theft and rake a lot of money and we have never seen them there after they withdrawed it. It is always good to be 100% sure. :)
Thanks, I was not aware that this was a common practice.
Though the verification at least narrows it down to a few people with access to the account. And they pinned my comment, making it more likely the channel owner would see it. I guess we'll have 100% assurance if they do a video mentioning Steemit.
Even without 100% certainty we have a full week to catch identity theft and revert the votes.
Good idea, I have a video in the works at this very moment which will also be including a Steemit mention to be released in the near future--stay tuned!

Welcome to Steemit Family Sir >_<
Very glad to have you on here
judging from your content I can see why censorship can be a real threat to your channel, this should be a very good alternative/supplement to your youtube channel.

Hey @theywillkillyou ! Thanks for joining the community, it seems like you got an epic first start here. I'm a fellow YouTuber myself and I've got to say, congrats on amassing that following! Steemit is a great place to get more fans, enhance SEO and social signals for your channel (and your Steemit account as it goes both ways) and make some moola at the same time. Long-term I see a lot of potential if you stay here. Just remember, consistency and posting quality is key :) Cheers
Edit, I also wanted to say I like how you're responding to a lot of comments here! Great engagement.
Thank you so much. I didn't realize the benefits this would have on search+social, but that's great to hear! I appreciate your advice on posting consistency...I'll be sure to definitely stay on top of it. If there's any way I can help you out too, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Followed.
