Why everyone in their 20s should move to NYC Actually he meant : Why Kelly should move to NYC

[@purpleskies1709]

Elliot, you talk a lot about adding value and not contributing to "white noise" on youtube and tiktok. Idk bro but your last few videos have been nothing but you 1) Eating food; 2) Meeting with a friend; 3) Talking about you going to the gym => Take a look at your last two tiktoks for example. It looks like your viewership is taking a hit as a result - people are just getting bored.

[@jinjunliu2401]

@@purpleskies1709 That's probably why he wants to bring a few creators together to live with eachother for different content. And I also think that the reason he takes this structure for his current vlogs is because it's essentially the same as in college, except that in college you're often surrounded by groups of people while outside it's less so. And of course him being busy with his merch line probably led him to churn out these routinal videos. Personally I still like these, definitely when it's constant Eric Reprid music ;)

[@SteveJobIess]

This is all to eventually promote his other job whatever it is hes doing to actually make money He doesnt make money off his videos, he is actually garnering an audience to buy merch and eventually to promote whatever it is hes working on. Thats gotta be why his vlogs are just fluff - gym, coffee, wework, korean food w/friends at night).

[@truthyousay7369]

Idk but his last few videos are very just like out there . I used to be an avid follower of Elliot but he's just too flashy about things nowdays and also "just putting it out there" is the theme nowadays

Elliott needs to NOT live with his creator friends. Visiting here and there works, but living together is actually negative for Elliott's creativity. Last year when he moved into that LA house, he only put out like 1 video a month, and whatever he put out was trash.

[@cameronn1891]

Okay honestly, not that I know Kelly personally or anything, but I feel like his vibe is much more California than NYC. Elliot is more about productivity and work like a lot of New Yorkers, while Kelly is more about spontaneity and fun like people in LA. I know it’s a running joke among fans, but Kelly’s vibe doesn’t fit the east coast as much as Elliot’s does. Just content wise, obviously I don’t know either of them personally

[@ruslanfataliev8861]

you make sense

[@totoroid]

[@vincentmorrelli3025]

Eh, NYC is more spontaneous and fun because there is so much to do. LA is just tik tokers, homeless, and actors

[@georgeruellan]

I get Elliot's point but it's just so unrealistic. Especially early 20s. Elliot has connections, savings, doesnt have to pay rent, a somewhat consistent income etc. I know you should follow your dreams and believe anything is possible, because it is, HOWEVER you can't have your head in the clouds all the time. You need to come down from time to time

I hate criticizing but i feel like these are getting repetitive. What do i mean: Going to Gym, meeting friends, Eating out, Unboxing packages, etc.. These are fun don't get me wrong, but as a viewer, i feel like i already saw you do this 10 times.. Bro you're young. Make a video about a new skill you're learning, How you get these impossible camera angles, Encounters with Chess hustlers in NYC, Asking strangers random things on the subway, documenting someone else's day in the life like a "Day in a life with a NYC actor, Day trader, Skater, etc", Asking NYC ravers embarrassing questions, etc etc..As an outsider, it feels like NYC content creating is limitless given the vibrant nature of that city, but again, i could be totally wrong here. meh

Free rent really helps Elliott eat out all day, join a gym he rarely goes to. Plus money spent at wework is an expensive excuse for Internet when any random coffee shop wifi will do. He doesnt need to spend money on essentials, and can splurge on non-essentials. Of course he doesnt get why everyone doesnt just move to nyc. Its sooooo easy.

Legitimately can't tell if you're being genuine or just stirring shit up for views/engagement LOL - I think you know why more 20somethings aren't making it out to NYC. You're so rad but you've rly been toeing the line between motivational and tone-deaf recently 😭

[@mathmagician155]

[@binch99]

@@mathmagician155 He's right, it's an amazing place to be in your early 20s! But only if you've got rich parents/zero student debt/a high-paying job/YT money. Otherwise, just surviving there is stressful af. Most 20somethings today can't even afford to move to NYC, let alone thrive there (nice apartment, good food, fun stuff, savings). Elliot is an educated adult who should know this, so it kind of felt like he was just joking - but it's not a funny joke, lol.

[@mathmagician155]

@@binch99 makes sense

[@RCSlim123]

not surprising honestly. he's from a privileged family... he can afford to risk so many things (from the things he did in the early days of his YT career to now) that many of people in the world cannot because his privilege allows him to have this safety net

changing your mentality like seeing things in different perspectives really makes a big difference especially when you're trying to achieve something that you think is insurmountable; thinking you're still in the process and not yet on the top and pushing yourself, doing things one step at a time, that's just an indication of huge success ahead of you.

I like following elliot’s journey and he’s great at what he does. But my problem with some of these vlogs is that I wish these young KZbinrs could recognize and speak about their privilege of freedom, time, no real responsibilities etc. i get their message of not wanting a cookie cutter life, but I don’t want it to seem like a diss on people who do. It’s ok to want a 9-5 with income stability.

Hey Elliot, I know leveraging spending to acquire points is fun and rewarding. But in business, someone always pays. And there are fees assigned with paying with credit cards, which is why most people write checks in the business world where you don't force the people you're purchasing from to pay the credit card fees. Business etiquette is important.

From someone that’s lived in NY their entire life and is now moving… NYC is great + inspirational but it is not for everyone. It is grossly unsustainable unless you make a very large amount of money. Everyone that lives in the city typically has a roommate, even grown adults because of how expensive it is just to have a roof over your head. A lot of people I know are leaving NY for NJ or are just leaving the north in general. For anyone coming over to NY to live, especially from the south… know that it’s going to be a major adjustment… you’ll never lack entertainment though lol.
