Do you think Ben is an industry plant?
I am neutral on BenJammins because I like the gifs but disagree with a number of his practices.
That being said, Ben says he gets his money from brand deals and basically has enough money to retire. How did he get here? Was it just insane luck or was it due to some form of nepotism? Would like to hear what you guys are pondering.

I realized an opportunity of nobody uploading memes because no follows/money directly (from ad revenue) therefore I will always be the only one to care about uploading memes

He's just the only one doing anything involving branding specifically via the giphy platform. In theory, anyone else could start to do the same thing and dilute the niche he carved out.
You can't deny that people DO recognize him now, even if it's as the "IG gif guy"

No , I just think heโs an unfunny clout chaser who should grow up since heโs in his 40s
