"A drug user's paradise" | Drug addict interview in Kensington 

Unfortunately that is the case. But I guess that's one of the benefits of these types of videos, show the rest of society that these are still human beings deserving of our compassion and empathy. Too often do people well-off judge them and act like it's taboo to even consider wanting to help.

Trouble is they rip each other off,weres the brotherly love in that?

@@dawnwalker4965Lol sounds like somebody burnt you for drugs.

Reach out to me on Instagram I'd like to speak to you a bit about yours and his upbringing if possible @arturio55

Exactly what he talking bout. Nobody cares. Respectfully u sound fake as ever😂. Respectfully. U just here for likes. You don’t know what that man going through. People act out and be class clowns to escape reality fyi. To run from home problems. Sad American public. GTFOH respectfully 😒

​@@TheBestStreetInterviewChannelyou made 100k views off the kid. At least buy him some food or give him a safe space for the night. U could legit make a channel off helping like 2 or 3 ppl to.

@KyleTO7 what makes you think I didnt?

The self reliance aspect is a good attitude. However, there are absolutely people who care. They may not care in ways you feel they should, but plenty sobriety advocates, addiction counselors, and others choose to work in that field because they care. It’s not a lucrative, nor glamorous, job. “No one cares” is an unfortunate personal experience. It is not a fact. Be careful with your words, especially when speaking to a vulnerable audience. Hopefully you’ll find someone whose care you can see.

@@TheStiiizyAvenger He ain't lying

@@wandererx86 cool story bro

Some body cares. I care and I blame the system of white supremacy for all of black peoples problems. We have suffered through some harsh stuff and have trauma passed down and this ain’t no excuse this is facts! However I do care and I pray for people like him!!!

As a recovering IV heroin user... you took the words out of my mouth. It's reality. The world's not gonna clap because I did a year of rehab not including 6 months of jail and 6 months supportive living. It's life! Boss up

I agree 👍 💯

Thats spooky!!!

Thank you. He's definitely genuine and full of good energy. Hope he gets out of there. I'm also glad I'm on my own. It'll be a long journey tho

Just subscribed 🤙 I wanna do something similar like this. Giving the homeless and addicted a voice. Helping with food and stuff. Just being the change I wanna see in this world. Peace and love bro ✌️ ❤ ty for what you do. You’re channel is gonna blow up , keep that foot on the gas

Thanks I'm glad my work is being so well received. Tbh I see a lot of room for improvement but seems like I had a good start so only uo from here. It's great that you've maintained being clean. Hope all is well for you and wish you positivity and success. Keep striving to stay safe and prosperous. If you ever wanna get your story out there stay tuned, in future I may start traveling and let some of you people in the comments be featured on my channel if you want to give hope to others and let them hear some success stories.

⁠love this channel as well!

Thank you, I do try. Always want to show them respect and give them my attention. To be honest it can be a bit challenging to focus when you're constantly watching your back and all angles looking for threats. Gotta stay on alert at night.

You hit the nail on the head. Hes a really great person and I'd like to soon consider him a friend myself. I hope I can influence some change in him

@@TheBestStreetInterviewChannel that's really cool. I thought the same thing, I reckon it's something to do with you too and a different way of connecting. It stands out from all of these other channels where you come across in a more sincere way, as yourself rather than a documentary maker, and setting yourself apart from the 'subjects'. I guess it's hard to explain, but you aren't patronizing, overly 'compassionate' (which is another form of patronization or othering). It's not just a better technique, it's also a reflection of your personality as an individual, and the intention of connecting with the people who cross your path as if they were a potential friend. This approach really contrasts with the others I've come across, and stands out to offer a much more enjoyable experience for viewers. Not in an entertainment sense, not at all, but to enjoy seeing how easy it is to connect in a deeper way that's more of a mutual thing. As I said, this is the only time I've not felt like the obvious interviewer/ subject dynamic, and feeling so separate from the part of the world you are in. I've not come away with that uncomfortable feeling of exploitation, of the interviewee's but also viewers feeling pity and a sense of implicit superiority their lives are 'better'. This is usually reflected in the comments however well intentioned, and I've never been comfortable with it. It would be great if you and Scooby could forge a friendship, as you can sense the potential and mutual connection. Well done for creating a really nice channel, that's coming from your heart, and I hope you get to make some new friends along the way 🫂🤗

I'm using high quality wireless mics (not the best by far, but for under $500 they're top tier) and I was an audio engineer for a while before getting into videography so yea I take some time to process and EQ the audio during editing. Idk how those other guys do it lol that bad audio would drive me insane , let alone bad visual quality 😬😬

Also yea his perspective on everything out there is pretty interesting. I'm glad he's so positive, maybe to the point where it's even his youthfulness leaning towards naiveté, but in a good way. I have a lot of hope for him, he can definitely make it out and live a good life.

No "Scooby" doesn't have any insight beyond that of a middle schooler on drugs because that's basically what he is. Why don't you go find insight from someone who doesn't live on the streets dirty and on drugs.

I agree idk what happened ,but this is a million times better! Subbing to this one

@@TheBestStreetInterviewChannelkeep doing your thang .. 🫡❤️🙏🏽🇨🇦

Thank you for sharing. Congrats on your clean time. Keep fighting and be strong. Hope all is well and that you are enjoying life

We all live to just die another day mate. Sober or not. It's part of life on earth. But I'm proud of you for kicking the fet,it ain't easy at all,but one thi g I found when getting clean qas sober life was disappointing,work sleep eat repeat. No fun,no excitement,even my family said I lost my spark,but hey at least I didn't have to wake up sick anymore or wait on the dope man everyday I guess..🤷‍♀️

@@CookDogosNZAnd that’s what makes you sad. Why can’t you have the same spark even when you’re sober? You live for the substance, not yourself. You have no self love and respect. You don’t believe in your abilities and persona. You are useless, to put it in simple terms.

Scooby indeed has potential. I spent several hours with him this night and again the following day. He's pretty cool and definitely doesn't want to be out there. I think he's just too used to it all. Gonna develop a real relationship with him and try to influence a change. You'll be seeing him a lot on my channel. Glad you notice and appreciate my approach to it all. The good thing about being arrogant is that I won't allow myself to do the bare minimum lol. I'm gonna try to have fun while doing all this and put my best foot forward each time. Hopefully I get as close to 100% as I can. I not only want to stand out but I want each interviewee to feel unique and important themselves also. It'll make for a better experience all around. As usual, thanks for tuning in and I'm thankful to have you not just as a viewer but a youtube homie 🫡🫱🏻‍🫲🏽

Aiming to be the best quality channel that produces this type of content. Aiming to do a long form documentary at some point

Glad you appreciate the quality. Scooby is an amazing guy hopefully he can turn his life around

@@TheBestStreetInterviewChannel Same brother. I really hope so too. On a sidenote tho. Your editing and the quality of the videos is absolutely amazing. I totally mean that. Top notch frfr 💯💜

Thanks and I hope to continue to deliver at this level. Stick around, lots of stuff to come soon. Got some new ideas that will be a bit unique too

Well Kensington ave is a whole vibe at night.

He's 27 and full of life. Definitely has potential and a good head in his shoulders. I'm looking forward to helping him

Please please please try to help him as much as possible before it's to late very handsome smart broken guy that needs help and for someone positive to show him love and help him like you 😊❤🙏

I appreciate the recognition and acknowledgement. I drive myself crazy trying to make everything as best as I can and not just follow trends. Plus these people need a true platform so I want to try and make every interview unique. Treat them like an actual individual with their own story and experiences. Hopefully I can keep executing on my goals. Thanks for watching and hope you stick around for a while

I wholeheartedly agree

@elisabethsalmon4107 I'm glad that you do and I hope I can continue to produce not only at this level but I strive to get better as time goes on.

The humanized side. A lot of the people down there are pretty cool tbh. More often than not I have a pretty good experience with them

hoping you make it out of your addiction ❤️ you have so much life to live .

Only gets worse man. I’m exactly twice your age. Wish I would have joined the military or fire department and got it together then instead of now. But it is what it is. We do what we can when we can. Take life seriously it only gets harder. And if you work hard your life will be easier. If you try to make life easier it will be hard. Good luck.

Thank you. Well wishes to you and yours.

I appreciate the support and love to see people in other countries enjoy the content. Glad to have you as a viewer and hopefully I travel the world and can see Iceland one day

Thank you for your recognition and support glad you enjoy the content

He is so full of life and has potential. Hopefully he can turn things around

Let's emphasize that not pushing religion on people lol

If anyone can change its scooby. You can tell he doesn't really want to live that life. Seems like a young inquisitive guy who just trying to figure things out, maybe just doesn't believe in himself enough. I'm going to maintain a relationship with him and try to help him out

Glad that you got out. Stay out and live a prosperous life. Hopefully more people can overcome the drugs

I definitely will and I'm glad everything resonated with you. I've been pretty busy this past week but will be going back to Kensington soon to try and get some more footage. Stick around for a while and always feel free to reach out I'm always down for a quick convo in the comments. Stay safe and take care

Lost access to my old account so I had to make a new jawn. Just so you know I ain't on no imposter stuff... Lol

Lmao well glad you're still here and that sucks, hopefully you can get access again. Gonna try to make every interview unique from here on out.. I'll get better as time goes on, been a little rocky for me so far. Dealing w sobriety and after being locked up, I'm not the social butterfly I once was. I know I'll get to where I wanna be tho. Soon.

I wish the best to you also. Hopefully we can all prosper and execute on all of our goals. I'll be checking in on scooby soon and will try to influence a real change

Thanks for the recognition and support. I always love when people appreciate and acknowledge the effort that goes into the quality of what I create. I plan to get a lot better and hopefully can do it soon lol. Will enjoy seeing you in the comments from now on. If there's ever anything specific you'd like to see feel free to reach out

There's another on my channel with Abe

Will do. Some of them are so sharp and cool. It's sad that they get outcasted the way they do

I'm happy that you appreciate the quality and the effort that goes into it. Hope you stick around for a while, lots of great content to come and hopefully can help a few souls in the process.

Congrats on your sobriety. Scooby is a bright one for sure , observant and definitely spent some time reflecting on himself. I have faith in him. He can get out of there.

Much appreciated glad you enjoyed it. You've been knocking some out of the park lately too 😎

@@TheBestStreetInterviewChannel Appreciate you bro. I’ve been trying to go Live more too. Shits hella awkward. Lol! 😬

Thanks for the support, happy to have you as a viewer. I'll definitely be doing an update with him soon

Always appreciate your support. You have a good weekend too 💯 BIG JERSEY 😎🫡

The night time interviews show people’s raw emotions

Glad you appreciate it. Hopefully I can continue to deliver like this 🔥🔥

I try to. Thanks for the well wishes. Hope all is well with you also

@@TheBestStreetInterviewChannel thank you!

I will definitely try to develop a relationship with him so you may seem him again. I always feel guilty when singling out anyone above the rest, but he's definitely one of the ones who doesn't belong down there. Such a great person, I really spent a couple hours with him that night and again the next day. Stay tuned, lots of content to come featuring him if he will allow me. Gonna really try to help him

@@TheBestStreetInterviewChannel I think that’s an idea, but keep the relationship you make with him a professional one! Also be prepared for disappointment. As I said in my initial comment, some people don’t want help!

I'll be honest I still get excited whenever anyone compliments the work I put out. It validates all the effort I put into this stuff and trust me it takes a lot. Some of these comments really make it all worth it. I'm glad you appreciate the content and I hope I can not only continue to put out this quality but I'll get better too. I have room to grow and plan on achieving more very soon. And regarding the competition, there is none 😈

Thank you I'm always glad to see that the viewership appreciates the quality and effort put into my work.

Very deep he's wise beyond his years just need him to put that wisdom to use

Thank you for the compliments and I'm glad you enjoyed the interview, it's one of my first that i conducted. I'll get better as time goes on. Yea unfortunately I doubt me and fox will work together ever again. I still have love for him. Can't throw away 20 years and family ties. But we just don't see things the same.

At first glance I thought it was Brad Pitt 🙈

If he cleaned himself up he's definitely someone I'd take to the club with me lol probably a great wingman

@@TheBestStreetInterviewChannel Love this 😊

@@user-ur3rj7br4t Me too! Brad Pitt young.
