Paul was clearly upset by the allegation, stating: \u201cIt\u2019s fucking stupid people think that\u2019s manipulative. I don\u2019t see a problem with it at all. A big part of my content is to make someone\u2019s day. To me, that\u2019s what the merchandise is about. For people to say I\u2019m trying to manipulate younger kids, it\u2019s ridiculous.\u201d Now Nerd City has produced a new video, challenging Paul for pretending to not understand social influencing and the power his social media reach has, when he believes the Team 10 owner is an expert in the subject. \u201cJake, it may benefit you to play the idiot from time to time, which you clearly do,\u201d said Nerd City. \u201cBut we\u2019re not fooled by it. How honest you are about your goals depends on who you think is listening. \u201cIf your fans are listening, you say your goal is to make their day, but if you\u2019re talking to businesses, your say your goal is to build an audience and monetize it, and since that\u2019s what you do, it\u2019s silly to deny it.\u201d In his video, Nerd City shows clips of Paul speaking at various business conferences about the power of social media, and also found websites owned by Jake Paul that advertise and promote his and Team 10\u2019s ability to sell products. One site even focused on Chinese companies who would like to move into the American market. In one video, which Nerd City took from a channel called \u2018Jake Paul Biz\u2019 where the YouTuber makes content for business, Paul told companies: \u201cYou need to create content around your products. That\u2019s what makes people buy it.\u201d Paul has yet to respond to Nerd City\u2019s latest video, but we will keep you updated as the story progresses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nerd City calls out Jake Paul for playing dumb during Shane Dawson documentary YouTuber Nerd City has created a new video calling out Jake Paul for lying and pretending to be stupid during the Shane Dawson produced docuseries \u201cThe Mind of Jake Paul.\u201d In the final episode of the documentary, Dawson referred to a previous [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-56227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56227"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56227\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
