Ruth Kadiri calls out producers who pressure actors for 1 million views on YouTube
Nollywood actress and filmmaker Ruth Kadiri has called out producers who pressure actors to generate one million views on YouTube within the first day of uploading movies they featured in.
Known as the “Queen of YouTube Nollywood,” Kadiri urged her fellow actors to resist such pressure, emphasizing that one million views should not be seen as the standard for a successful movie.
In a post on her Instagram page, she wrote: “Dear Nollywood actors, take the pressure off your shoulders! Any producer who requires one million views from you in one day has failed. A good production requires more than your face.
“One million views is not a standard of success. So much y’all don’t know about YouTube. Don’t let their ignorance rob you of your joy.”
