...I have an idea? Wanna help me manifest something? (Patreon)

Y'all, this might be a long shot, but I wanna try!

TEN announced his North American tour last night, and presale started this morning! So, of course, I had no time to think or plan a budget, I just bought a ticket + VIP. Lmao. It's my ult! #5 in my Top 20 songs of 2024, and #3 AND #1 in my Top songs of 2025. My all-time favourite male idol. The ONLY idol that I get truly delusional and unhinged about in my reactions (though Seonghwa & Taemin are also reaching that level lately, but TEN is still my ult). It's also a small venue & ticket prices are pretty reasonable so I just jumped. HOW CAN I NOT SEE HIM LIVE???

HERE'S THE THING. I've been seeing a bunch of different idol interviews with somewhat smaller online platforms in the last week... and I had the thought ONCE AGAIN, "Why can't I do that?" Lol. Why can't I be the person to interview an idol when they're in town for a show. COULD YOU IMAGINE ME GETTING TO MEET AND INTERVIEW TEN?! (Gaia literally mentioned me meeting TEN last week when we were watching THE FIRST.)

This is the best time for this to be possible. He started his own company, it's still fairly small not a behemoth like SM, so maybe more likely I can directly get in touch with someone responsible for this North American promotion. I looked at his pages and saw he did a bunch of interviews with smaller YouTube channels in Thailand to promote 'If You Don't Mean It.' Soooo... isn't now the best time to try to make a collab happen? I'm manifesting, it's possible.

I want to reach out to ILLIMNT and see if I can just get in touch with someone. If this is possible, I will hire a videographer/crew in NYC to help me film & edit. Or maybe try to connect with any k-pop content creators who are based in New York to get their help. BUT, I think it's worth a try, right?!

The only issue is... my views are quite low. Even for smaller channels, companies are just looking at what kind of views you will get to promote their artist - RiVERSE's first collabs with k-pop idols all happened when we were still below 50K subs, but we were getting really high views each month.

So I think what I'm asking is if we can all do a little mini-campaign to try to boost my analytics, even if it's just in the short-term. Posting clips on YT Shorts, TikTok & X are the fastest ways to bring new audiences to the full videos*, so do y'all think you could help me with that over the next week? Whatever your favourite reactions of mine have been, share a short clip of it and use hashtags or tag fan accounts to help get it shared to the right audiences? If we go ham for a week trying to boost my content, then I'll reach out to ILLIMNT and pitch the idea of me doing an interview before the show in NYC.

My gut tells me this is possible. I know it's possible cuz I've seen other people do it! So, I gotta try, right? I gotta!

(* This is a whole other thing. I've been wanting to hire an editor to JUST make short-form clips of my reactions, because I KNOW this is the best way to grow my platform but I never have time to do it 😭 Anyway, another problem for another day!)
