@andrewhuang

Thanks so much if you're able to pre-order my book!!

@samuraiguitarist

Worth noting that all the people I know who worked at youtube, no longer work at youtube. Great choice

@mcolville

If you were worth $100k to KZbin, that means they thought they'd be making a LOT more than $100k off of you. Better to work for yourself then.

@philip6252

Don't care mate

@andrews4321

You dodged a bullet when you turned down the $100k. It might seem like a lot of money, but the cost of living in California would have consumed your paycheck before the ink was dry.

@Shadow0fd3ath24

100k in San Francisco isnt even enough to afford an apartment. Thank god you turned that down

@DrewRichmond

I’ve been watching your stuff for years now since I was a kid. 21 years old now and making a decent living with music. A lot of what I learned was from you in the beginning so I’m really excited to get my hands on this book. Thanks for all the knowledge throughout the years.

@Dontae9

i cannot imagine a world with no Andrew Huang. What you do and what you give is unique and appreciated by, i'm going to say all us fans bro! Thank you.

@CreativeMindsAudio

You did the right thing, 100k is awful money in Los Angeles or SF. it's enough to live comfortably in a 1 bedroom apartment in LA as a single person, if even.

@FREAKBAiT

I've been banging my head against this algorithm for about two years now. Over 400 videos and it's going way slower than IG or Tiktok.

@Daresport

You made the right decision. Up to $126K a year income is considered low-income in the Bay Area where KZbin is located (San Bruno, CA).

@RhettShull

Glad you turned that job down, your channel was (and still is) a huge inspiration, and was instrumental in me deciding to start my own channel 5 years ago. Congratulations on the book release!

@S1L3NTIGamer

Andrew I have been a fan since the days you had ~10k subs. You are such an inspiration to me. Even though I don’t make music, your ability to adapt, be creative, and bet on yourself has helped me on my path to doing what I love. Seeing you go from shows like “We are what you tweet.” To all of the songs you did based off of sounds like rock, paper, scissors, to your space series and now sonic boom. You’ve grown and become the person you’ve dreamed of being and ever compromised what made you special. that’s something that very few people can claim to have done and it has always been a part of what inspires me to be my true self. I’m super happy about your book. Can’t wait to read it.

@00muinamir

Honestly, you made the right call. Cost of living is just ridiculous in CA and I watched a lot of friends get burnt out and discouraged working for the various Alphabet companies.

@jakesayzhi2pizza

I found you roughly 13 years ago when you posted Pink Fluffy Unicorns (showing my age 😅) and now I am showing my kiddo your music and they absolutely love all of the creative ideas you put out there! So thankful that you have closed every door that would have absolutely closed your door to the creative flow. Thank you for being you!

@pancakemanor

That magical book reveal was very satisfying. Congrats on the new book, Andrew!

@whipmolla

Really cool to see you do something so honest and transparent, it’s very inspiring to see you kept focus on your vision and didn’t let the distractions get in the way.

@rftm

Book pre-ordered. Plus, thanks for sharing this story. You've have been a godsend for learning to hone my creativity. Can't stress how thankful I am and how impactful you and your channel has been on me and tons of others.

@Cooldude518

As someone who has followed your career since the "Songs to Wear Pants To" days, it's been amazing to see your growth and confidence in your ability in music and video making. It's been very inspiring to see where steady but focused growth can get you. Best of luck with the book!
