I Won Creator of the Year

So I remember me, Zane, and Scott, we were all like, fuck, like this, this, we should try to, we should try to get bigger on Snap. So every day, like, the thing that I was promoting the most through my vlog and through Vine was Snap. And I kind of did it in like a big I like definitely cheated my way to pump my Snap because I was, I had, there's one day I had to get in makeup for like this little video I was in and it looked like I got my ass kicked and I had this, I had this like, I had this sports account that I used to run or this, this theme account that I used to run on Vine. And I made a video, me in the makeup as my ass kicked. And I was like, I just got my ass beat. The full story's on my Snapchat. And it was 6 seconds and I would put my Snapchat at the bottom of it and I'd post that video on that theme account about 6 times a week. So like constantly reposting it, which grew my following on Snap to over 6 million. Wow. And then I used Snap for a little bit, and then when I got more into the vlogs, I stopped using it as much. I would use it to promote my vlogs, and then I really went heavy on it when like Jim came around and gave me the call and was like, it's time for you to start snapping away. And I was like, fuck yeah. I have like a following on here. I like, I, this is crazy, right?
