The thing is, he was so close to having an actually hilarious marketing strategy. Imagine if the ‘rumors’ he made up were just unserious, obviously silly, lighthearted goofs, but the ‘quotes’ were similarly worded to how they are now- Noah Beck gets over his lifelong debilitating fear of broccoli, and it’s all thanks to this one song. Noah says “I always thought broccoli was just icky and a little stinky, but the strength I found in this song helped me conquer my fears. This is my Fight Song.” Honestly think that would have been pretty good
Dev speaks with so much passion and sincerity which makes it clear how much she cares about creating a safe space for people and just spreading information and her thoughts in the best and most entertaining way possible
Why would God care about people in Hawaii when it doesn't give a shi about malaria ridden children and children with cancer that die everyday? 💀 Just help them yourself...donate don't use god as a way to ignore struggles of others
real !!!!! Im in Hawaii , not Maui but the Big Island . Had some family , dogs in quarantine in Lahaina and like . Dude . Worst news of my entire life . Glad people are worried abt it
Honestly, the things people do to go viral are insane. Posting a couple videos promoting your song is fine. But starting rumors about people is not it.
Slightly different instance but I still remember a model/influencer that got exposed for saying transphobic stuff, when people called her out she came out as trans, people started sympathizing for her thinking she was being self hating, then it was revealed she wasn't trans and was judt trying to get out of being transphobic! Last I saw of her she was a model for Tyler the creator's golf le fleur pop up shop, just wild
@@MarigoldMars Carissa Pinkston, and she was one of his models handing stuff out to people at the blue mountain store when it first launched, I haven't seen her on social media since
i’m not sure who these ppl are cuz i’m an old lady but whether the person is queer or not, the intention of outing someone is one of the worst things you can do to the LGBTQIA+ community. just awful. thank you so much Dev for your compassion around this subject. i’ll be at your show in october and i CAN’T wait!!💖💗💕 69th comment btw nice
Coming from a Maui local, thanks for boosting the awareness! You're the first RU-vidr/ musician who I follow, that's said anything about it. Absolutely insane devastation to the local community & loss of irreplaceable history. Other safe places to donate are the Maui Food Bank/ Maui Humane Society who both have links on their Instagram pages.
Im not a Hawaii expert. But isn't tourism the biggest industry there? If everyone stopped travelling there it would result in mass poverty? In fact, the Hawaiian govt is scared that a knock on effect of the events in Maui are that people will stop vacationing in the state at all for the next bit, which would really hurt a lot of people, mostly from the working class.
@@Me-ui1zythe tourism industry in Hawaii is an incredibly complex issue that you can’t just boil down to ‘they’ll be poor without it'. I would recommend reading about it more and listening to the natives and people that are affected by it the most. There’s pros and cons to it but in an ideal world it wouldn’t exist and America would’ve left Hawaii alone instead of exploiting it and its people. Now, having said that, I really believe that the people that run the industry are fucking evil. They’re keeping the hotels running, not letting people that lost everything seek refuge and they’re also hosting diving tours where people have died from the fires just mere meters away. So, go figure.
@@Me-ui1zynative hawaiians aren’t the ones primarily benefiting from the tourism industry also the environmental damage to their land + resources being taken away from natives have much more of an impact than the jobs tourism creates, like someone else mentioned natives wouldn’t even have to rely on tourism if their land wasn’t taken in the first place
when a small minority of the audience ships you its easy to ignore but when its huge like this it can ruin relationships. imagine every little thing you do being analyzed as a sign you're together (an example is jacksepticeye and markiplier)
i had no idea about this so thank you for talking about it…as a member of the lgbt community myself it’s a pretty known thing that it’s never okay to out someone (even if it’s just a fake rumor) especially to promote yourself and make money off of it like ..?!?!!? incredibly scummy and it’s clear he’s trying to gain notoriety through controversy but every time someone does that they fade into irrelevancy in a month tops. anyone who is willing to throw away their morals for a couple streams and tiktok views clearly never had any good morals to begin with 🤢
Thank you Dev for spreading awareness for the Maui wildfires. It is very generous and kind, you're an amazing person and I will always support you and your career! ❤
As someone that’s trying to figure out my sexuality I couldn’t imagine being outed when you’re still trying to figure it out yourself. If he’s Bi then that’s amazing and if not that’s amazing too
sadly we’re also experiencing major fires here in canada too )): to be exact , my hometown Yellowknife (in the NWT) and so many people (including some of my family) have lost their homes and are being forced to excavate because of it 😞 the government isn’t doing anything to help & arent spreading the news anywhere.. pls if anyone can support the cause or even share the news around it would help sm! 💞💞
btw dev i got an MRI for the first time yesterday and they let me listen to music so i listened to Delusional for 30 minutes while i was in there so thanks for making my comfort music
was waiting for you to mention Hemlocke Springs at the end there, I absolutely LOVE her !!! And Maude as well, so many artists worth mentioning on tiktok that it almost makes up for all the crappy people on there 😭
You're nothing short of incredible. Your videos are always so compassionately and emphatically crafted to give people the benefit of the doubt while still drawing attention to serious topics that need to be addressed. You discuss things with such cohesion and conviction that I often find myself thankful to have found your channel and, in turn, your unique perspective. Seeing the cutaways to thoughts you've had during the editing process is always a treat, and I truly respect how openly you show moments of reflection and how your thoughts/feelings develop over time. Your delivery always comes across as genuinely sympathetic, and it's clear that you have a true passion for the subjects you cover in your content, from your commentary vids to your personal music projects or even one-off guest appearances on other channels. Above all else, I find it so, so commendable that you have a sort of optimism that runs as an undercurrent throughout your work. Using your platform to spread awareness and rally for service like the current Hawaii wildfires and ensuring that you concluded this video uplifting hardworking musicians instead of letting yourself grow jaded in the face of inhumane publicity stunts are small glimpses into the generosity you always appear to carry. I know this is a ridiculously long comment, only tangentially related to the video, and something you'll likely never see, but I had to express how much admiration I have for you as a content creator. Thank you for what you do and how you do it! Excited to see what comes next for you :-)
I really love where your content has been going recently, Dev! You are such a comfort creator for me, and you put out such high quality work. Keep it up!! :)
Your latest content is some of my favorite. As much as I loved your wacky dating app videos, which is how I found you, listening to your opinions and seeing how your brain works makes me happy
this is the exact type of person to get some amount of fame and then say to their fans, "woah, hey, you guys need to quit diggin into my personal life and making things up, its not nice."
What in the wattpad fan fic is going on here why would anyone believe they were together and they came out to this random ass song 😮💨 dude should get sued
I’m so lucky I got to have my teenage years before there was an internet. I swear the rapid evolution of all of our culture’s issues and environmental issues since the internet make me think it’ll be the thing that ends us pretty soon.
I hope this is a good reminder that being queer does not mean you can't do things deeply hurtful to other people in the LGBTQ2S+ Community. It isn't ok
I need to listen to the song bc I just know it’s the most milquetoast Target commercial 2014core Macklemore same love rachel platten fight song sara bareilles brave obama pr pride tweet ass consumer product in existence
This is the real queer baiting, it’s ridiculous and hurting our community. Just like being gay isn’t a phase, being straight isn’t, don’t question others sexuality. It’s just as gross as men telling me they can turn me straight. -a lesbian
you are the only content creator ive seen talk about the maui wildfires. thank you so much, you will have my continuous support for this reason 💛 your soul is beautiful
Tik tok songs made specifically to have one hit line are just extended jingle advertisements like the jg Wentworth I would name some more, but I can't remember any
Also I appreciate how dev lemons Talks about art earnestly and with a lot of passion. Trying to describe his marketing tactic there are Marina and the diamond lyrics I like to use, "burning dirty gas won't get you that far"
Hey dev! Thank you for the resources to support the people affected by the fires! I will be donating as well as sharing them on my insta and sending them to family members. You’re the best!
So either... A) one or both of them are queer and now no longer have the ability to come out on their own terms, or B) one or both of them are straight and will now have to make a public statement that they are not queer, which will lead to those influencers being accused of "queerbaiting," or "exploiting off the LGBT community," even though they themselves never claimed to be queer. Like.. no matter what the outcome is, it's shitty of the "artist" to literally make up false claims about other people. This was NOT the move and as Dev said, it's not going to lead to fanbase and it's not going to lead to the song getting legitimate popularity.
dev i’m genuinely asking u as a member of the queer community - please make promotional tiktoks saying gay marriage was legalized in the US bc of queef jerky
upload said 23 seconds ago, i clicked, its lonely here, just watched a dave portnoy pizza video, that was good, eating weet bix rn, semi good, too many commas? maybe.

bro i kept seeing these MONTHS ago and it took me forever to figure out that it was fake. let me tell you the shock i was in when i realized... shit's crazy
Literally been talking about this like ALL THESE VINNIE AND NOAH BI fake news ways to promote music is just so awful its like a way of pressuring people to explain their sexuality and that's literally no ones business... like if someone doesn't wish to disclose their sexuality that's completely their own choice and acceptable
Literally just found out Noah's has actually never come out through this... it's shocking how far this rumor got. Even I, that know pretty much nothing about the dude, saw the "he came out" repercussion and believed it.
theres another song called waddup that just plays in the background of shootings idk if the artists is aware but an account is posting them all over yt shorts
if anyone can’t donate for the fires and you would like to you can with your xbox points. I just found that out the other day and donated mine. Although I don’t think it goes directly to the families, It goes to The Red Cross which is helping aid the families affected. Just thought I would share because I know not everyone can donate
People love making up anything for their music. One girl has been NONSTOP promoting her song, granted its a decent song, but with the dumbest backstory that anyone with 2 working braincells can see shes made it all up but god i cant get on yt shorts without her posting about it for the 6th time that day 😮💨
