Fox owning Tubi was never a secret.

There’s plenty of positive black content on Tubi, along with educational content. If you only want to watch ratchet movies, then they have that for you as well. You can also find those types of movies on Peacock, Prime, and other platforms.

Tubi gives black creators the most dollars for their content and offer a low barrier of entry (for better or worse). No other platform is paying black folks like that for their content. Hell they don’t even let black people put their content up for free.

Roland is upset that his independent platform isn’t receiving the same amount of attention and investment, and he has a valid point in all honesty. However, discouraging black folks from supporting black creators on Tubi is not the solution.

If he was smart, he would try and get a deal to get his daily show on Tubi.
Both things can be true at the same time.

Let’s say “disposable income”. Like Roland said… companies are spending ad dollars—cadillac, Hyundai, Ford, Disney etc … for black viewers… money is being spent and money is being made somewhere.
Still gotta respectfully disagree with you. What kind of disposable income does a person with a net worth of $11 in Miami really have?

He has that 11 bucks

Think about how brand loyal Black people are.

Rarely see Black people in the ads but I never saw a non Black person smoke newports

Black people move culture that same Broke ass Black person will tweet 378 times about Tubi movies it will be retweeted by the blogs and soon it will be mentioned in white media

Tubi gets a ton of free advertisement

Ok. Sure. I’m a cynic. If you calling out an issue then believe part of the solution is for me to invest in your property/entity then excuse me for not falling for that banana in the tailpipe. I ain’t volunteering to be a sucka. That’s how Umar been tricking y’all nikkas for a decade plus now.
Im all the way with u on this one breh. Saw that part and immediately hit the :jbhmm:

Admittedly, and i havent watched the video yet, its a big difference between asking ur viewers to donate and hitting up corporations who both have the means and will most definitely just write that shyt off anyway.

i will have to check out this video myself before i draw any real conclusions though.

Same as it ever was.
nikkas feasting on cheap poison
brought to you by The Stolengolds.
This is by design.

As long as we are listening to and watching
bullshyt about ass shaking,us killing each
other and getting the bag by any means
we will remain in Stasis.

Us waking up is their worst nightmare.
They cant afford for us to aim our money,
votes,unity and anger at the right targets.

Yeah he went in. I’m glad he did it too because it needed to be said. Tubi gives these unknown movie makers a platform though so I don’t know what would or could happen to get them out of here, plus it’s a free platform that relies of ads. Man we got to get a positive platform that black folks will support and throw money behind. I mean the black news channel was here and it was not a bad start, but it did not get much support. Putting it on regular cable might’ve helped
I always laugh when I hear this from nikkas :mjlol:

There's already black owned media platforms, you just never cared enough to look for it and it's a strong possibility Netflix/Hulu/Disney will get your money before KweliTV does :mjpls:

Maybe if they were promoted more :yeshrug:

Everybody and they mama talk about Tubi but never seen this one before.

Let’s get one big black owned platform and throw money behind it so it can grow. All these little known ones will not work. Also I support black owned anything way more than you know.

He's speaking TRUTH. You have to be skeptical of ANY network that's pushing black content that isn't owned and operated by black people.

If Tubi continues to grow, the same thing with Fox will happen. All they need is a live sports contract.
That’s the issue with the conversation. The content is owned and operated by black folks. It’s just a platform to get it to the willing consumers of it.
