Ravish Kumar reveals why he created his personal YouTube channel
New Delhi: Noted Journalist and Senior Executive Editor of NDTV Ravish Kumar on Tuesday revealed the reason why he created his personal channel on the popular streaming site YouTube.
In a video released on Tuesday, Kumar said that several YouTube channels have been made using his name and profile hence he decided to create his own channel with original content.
“The country is already marching behind a fake man, so I decided to bust these fake accounts by creating a new one. It’s easy to get used to fake things, but it is never easy to get rid of it.” He said in the initial part of the video while also urging people who run fake channels using his name, to take the channels down.
He also cited a report adding that 80% of people who buy and use fake things are under the impression that they are buying and using the original product. “Those of you who follow fake channels being run using my names, I would request you to not follow them and not be among that 80% of people.” He said.
“A similar study should also be made on fake accounts across social media platforms and how is it damaging the reputation of people. Using these fake accounts, people often spread fake news and content.
“People who have my contact or are in any way connected to me used to often bring these fake channels to my notice to confirm if it was my official account. I was not able to reply to all of the queries. But yes, I had created a YouTube channel in June this year aiming to keep it active, but I was not able to keep it active owing to my busy Prime Time schedule,” he further added.
“With a view to bust these fake channels and to free the audience from their confusion if a particular channel is run by me or not, I will try to keep this channel active by posting content regularly.” He said.
