Eva Gutowski on YouTube Trends: Being a Leader Keeps You Places Longer

Eva Gutowski has opened up about being a leader or follower in the YouTube world nowadays.

The 23-year-old social star spoke with Galore recently and was asked about her thoughts on the toxic side of YouTube and people like Logan Paul.

“I’ve always been an observer before I dive into something. I think it’s smart to observe where trends are going and then decide if I want to be a follower or a leader,” she told the mag. “I’ve always noticed that while being a follower gets you places faster, being a leader keeps you places longer. I tell myself to step back and look at who I am as a person, and if someone is doing something that’s not me, I stick to me, and it’s always worked out for the better.”

“I also think that everyone has a responsibility with their audience – if you have 9 million followers, or just 10 people watching your stuff,” Eva continued. “Who you’re around influences how you think, so I always try to surround myself with the most open-minded and educated people. I try to live the same way, so that my audience can also grow to be educated and open-minded. I want everyone that follows me to grow up to be a good person, vote for what they believe in, and be worldly, educated people that stay ‘woke.’ That’s my goal.”
