Don Banks Is Quitting YouTube Here’s My Take As A Travel Creator & Alaska Seafood Processor

Don Banks Is Quitting YouTube Here’s My Take As A Travel Creator & Alaska Seafood Processor In this video, I’m breaking down my honest thoughts and reaction to Don Banks’ recent announcement about stepping away from full-time YouTube travel vlogging. ​Don made a lot of valid points in his video about YouTube burnout, algorithm changes, and the reality of expenses when traveling full-time. But there's a whole other side to the story that needs to be addressed. People look at his videos with all the models and baddest women across Brazil and Colombia—are these women collaborating just because they think he's a cool, genuine brother doing his thing, or is there a lot of behind-the-scenes creator overhead paying for appearances and trips that didn't get mentioned? ​I also talk about Don’s decision to return to work as a merchant seaman. Coming from my own background working seasonal contracts in Alaska's seafood processing industry, going back to work in a high-paying, honest trade is NEVER a downgrade. Working a solid job, stacking your money without expenses weighing you down, and using that income to fund your YouTube on your own terms is actually the smartest move a creator can make. ​Drop a comment below and let me know your thoughts: Did Don Banks make the right call, and what’s your take on the reality of travel vlogging? ​Watch Don Banks' original video here: Why I’m Done Being a YouTuber ​FOLLOW PHILLY GLOBAL: ​Subscribe to the Channel: @PhillyGlobal ​Main Channel: Philly Dom #youtube #travel #seasonalwork
