If you wanna sell shirts, powders etc. to help support yourself so that you can keep spreading such a positive message like you do... that's more than okay with me. I think some people just don't understand the amount of time that goes into making quality videos and how much it actually matters. Even if your message is really good.. the lower the quality of the video, the harder it is to actually reach people and spread that message.

I always enjoy the content you put out Derek, you're greatly appreciated my friend : )

Hey Bud. I've been carnivore all my life (22yo) and turned vegan 6 days ago. Prior to that I've been eating at least 500g/meat per day and cut it off to zero day to day. I also do calisthenics and this is still a big experiment for me, but I already noticed I have more energy and I did not observe strength drop. Also, I must say I >enjoy< eating again. My meals are more colorful and less boring! Your channel is very inspiring. Will definitely follow it. Thanks for all knowledge you are sharing! So glad to join this crazy community. Stay strong and THANK YOU!

You arent a sell out! Thanks for the information as always, and congratulations on your recent success.

[veganhealing]

You're so great at these Q&A's, no matter what kind of question it is, you answer thoroughly and with such a great attitude. I'm so glad I found your channel!!!!

[rasriddims]

Derek you rock. I dig how you field these questions and comments with a great positive attitude and answer. Much love brother

[theoneatyourdoor]

A true sellout would be someone who partners with a company that they don't agree with out like their products. You care about what goes into your body. There is a difference between partnership and selling out.

[fabfourfever]

Derek, you're always so sweet and gracious regarding the comments. You deserve all of your success, and you don't ever need to apologize for partnering with Vivo Life. That's your business, and I don't see how it's changed you or your channel. If some people don't like it, they can simply move on instead of complaining. Don't stop doing what you do, and don't stop being you. 😊

[mauricecooper]

I'm really enjoying this channel, dude! Terrific videos! You rock!👍👍💪💪

[knowuthrume]

Your patience, compassion, intelligence, and generosity are deeply appreciated.

[ivettebravo]

If you hadn’t promoted Vivolife I would have never known about it. I fully support your decision to take the opportunity to expand your brand. People need to not get so upset about that stuff. Thank you so much for being genuine, informative, and sharing your knowledge. Thankful follower 👏🏼

[TheNordicHunter]

Apparently those people don't know what a sellout is. If you preached vegan and then decided to sell meat products because they were going to pay you, THEN you'd be a sellout. You are only providing the rest of us information and a way to shorten our learning time by saying, hey followers I truly believe in this product and how it could benefit you. So much that I'm going to have them support this channel so I can continue to help everyone.

With that being said, thank you for taking the time to educate us so that we can be healthier and also help others. Focus on the reason you do this and don't worry about the naysayers. The ones that get it will stay and that's all that matters.

Hi Derek! I really loved that you showed the books that you have read. I am always interested in studying more about what is important! I totally support you as a vivo ambassador, I totally get that you need support to keep this movement going and also, as you mentioned, you are not forcing anybody to buy anything you are just promoting what you think is good nutrition! I love your channel! Keep going ahead!

[TheInfloence]

DS is the realest! Never a sellout. Although some might find his promotion of bananas suspicious lol. I've definitely tripled my banana consumption since watching his channel ;)

[GuillaumeFeelgood]

Thank you very much Derek for all the information you share with us! I love every single one of your videos!
Don't worry about people being mad about you sharing Vivo Life stuff... We are much more to understand, enjoy and respect that! 💪😉

[mikemetz]

You are the MAN! Don't ever apologize for being successful. You have amazing integrity in everything I have seen. Thank you for the fantastic info and generosity Derek! Cheers!

[Madcaphippo]

I’m happy you’ve “sold your soul” to vivo life because now my smoothies always taste like fricken delicious blueberry muffins and I have nothing but joy and blueberry goodness that surrounds my morning thanks to

[kaletothedrum]

I've been watching your vids from very close to the beginning. My favorite channel. Absolutely not a sell out!!

[mlc]

I appreciate all the useful information about nutrition and living a healthy lifestyle. Thank you for pointing out that we as an audience receive this information for free and you do put a lot of work into these videos. Go ahead and feel free to share whatever product or service you use and get value out of. Thank you so much for all you do!

[vivianjosephbeerannavar]

I am just so glad I came across your channel. Not just you transformed your body but i your mind also transformed. I truly respect you.

SEAWEED TIPS:

Sea Spaghetti is YUM, in salad. you soak it in water & salt and seaweed flavour dissapears, rinse it well & dump Into a shredded saladification w tomatoes and cucu and red onions and lettuces and black pep,
Really kinda tasty. ngl I would/could/shouldn't eat the whole 500g but

Maine brand Dulse is tastier and milder and not as hard/chewy as some of the other brand i'v found (salty though and heard some1 refer to it as kinda Dorito-y
And apparently their Smoked Dulse is really good. (Can't get in U.K. So no com)

Also seaweed sprinkles can be kinda tasty in salad (they get hidden away in there & also I swear seaweed tolerance goes up and if before you're like wtf is this, and then you kinda find urself like oh gimme some.
