Israeli vlogger Nusser Yassin, who took the video content world by storm with his Nas Daily channel, answered a tough personal question when someone at the NDTV World Summit asked him if he would have had the kind of success he has. Was found. If his political views were different, he would be enjoying today.
Nas Daly gave a presentation at the NDTV World Summit held in Delhi on the evolution of content creation and distribution, after which he agreed to take questions from the audience.
“You are an Israeli citizen of Palestinian descent. Do you think – you can say yes or no – that the kind of success you’ve had and the kind of political opinions you have had you had different political opinions, do you think That you would have been successful like this?” an audience member asked.
Nas Daily responded, “That’s a good question. Did I become successful because of my political opinions?”
“So, my friends, I became successful despite my political opinions, not because of it,” Nas Daily said.
“And you have no idea how difficult it is. Israel is eight million people; the Muslim world is a billion people. Indonesia has 200 million, Pakistan has 200 million, Egypt has 100 million, Libya and Tunisia have 100 million, others There are 200 million in Bangladesh, right?
“If I just make what’s popular, and say ‘Oh yes yes yes yes free Palestine, I’m with everyone’, I’ll literally get followers, I’ll be more successful. I won’t need protection. But that’s me. Which I believe in. I believe the truth is a little more nuanced, that it’s not black and white, it’s actually gray because unfortunately, I’ve spent 30 years studying and living this conflict.
“So, if someone sitting in Pakistan or Indonesia is telling me what to think about this conflict, I will not listen to him,” said Nas Daily, who has achieved global fame with his Facebook page and YouTube channel. Where he ran a project. Create and publish a one-minute video every day for 1,000 consecutive days.
Each video, known as a “Nas Daily” video, features him sharing stories, experiences and insights from his travels around the world. He eventually launched a media company, Nas Daily Corporation.
“…My political opinion, which I make very clear, is that we need two states for two peoples, but we also need to liberate Palestine from Hamas, from fundamentalism, from terrorism. I am absolutely for that. Neither do I. I think Israel should exist. Every time I say the word ‘I’, I lose followers, I lose brand deals.
“So, I succeeded despite being canceled more than 10 times. Because the videos are so good, you’re willing to listen to someone from Israel, even if you hate Israel so much. And I think that’s the lesson here. There’s this amazing picture of a man standing and 10,000 people standing and the man says, ‘You’re all wrong.’ I want everyone to think about this picture, ‘You’re all wrong. ‘
“You’re willing to stand up in front of 10,000 people who disagree with you and tell them ‘you’re all wrong’? What is something that you deeply believe in, that is deeply, deeply unpopular ?For me, this is the Israel-Palestine conflict. But for you, this is a great exercise for every single person sitting here.
“What is something that you believe deeply in that everyone around you still disagrees with? Yet for some reason you still believe in it. I think that’s what you should watch this video about. Should be made,” Nas Daily said.
At the event, NDTV World was launched, continuing NDTV’s legacy of leading media; It aims to be a leading voice of Asia and India on the global stage.
