In other news…. A concerned fan has taken to social media to advise popular activist and influencer, VeryDarkMan (VDM), to withdraw from his recent business engagements with Chinese partners, warning that such ventures may not be as straightforward as they appear.
In a post that has stirred reactions online, the man expressed admiration for VDM but urged him to focus solely on his online activism and content creation, where his strength and influence truly lie.
“VeryDarkMan, I know you don’t listen to advice, but as one of your biggest fans, I will advise you to withdraw from doing any business from China. It’s not as easy as you may think. Continue your normal work online, focus on it and leave business alone,” he cautioned.
The advice comes amid the ongoing social media drama between VDM and Chinese businessman Ross Boss, who recently accused the activist of damaging his reputation after a failed business deal. The saga has sparked widespread debate about trust, business ethics, and influencer partnerships.
Many netizens seem to agree with the fan’s position, arguing that VDM’s strength lies in advocacy and social commentary, not international trade. Others, however, believe the activist has every right to explore new ventures as long as they align with his brand and vision.
