Examples Of Controversy Content Creators

These content creators who talk about highly controversial topics not only quickly grow in popularity…well, most of the time. While their content may not be advertiser friendly, people are willing to support them by purchasing merchandise and donating money.

There are certain kinds of controversy content creators can thrive on. At the same time, such topics can also destroy your online publication. The main reason is you’ll offend a bunch of people and they’ll do whatever it takes to shut you up. Some methods include calling you a bigot, bullying you, shutting down your social media account, your blog, etc.

Some examples of controversy that can help or harm your online publication are:
•criticising Islam,
•discussing men’s issues,
•fat shaming,
•fat acceptance movement,
•feminism,
•gender identity. More specifically, those who identify as non-binary.

If your boss ask you to nicely to do something as opposed to yelling at you and demanding you to do something, you’ll most likely react differently. The same applies for content creators.

For example, Michael takes a stance on a particular topic. He is insulting individuals and groups of people. He’s also telling people what to do. Sarah agrees with Michael. However, Sarah is more friendly about it. She is not insulting anybody, she’s not using harsh words, and she empathize with people who disagree with her. The point is, if you’re nice to people, there’s a better chance that they’ll listen to you. It’s just human nature. Now, if you plan on creating controversy to promote your business, you’ll have to do things differently.
