Haters mean you&#8217;re popular enough to have haters! And haters and trolls make you better! <a href=\"http:\/\/shankman.com\/why-peter-shankman-loves-his-haters-and-why-you-love-yours-too\/\">I love this Peter Shankman post about haters<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I am not surprised by the reactions but as much as someone can prepare for it, it&#8217;s never easy to read comments from previously raving fans cry &#8220;Sellout&#8221;, &#8220;Boring&#8221;, and &#8220;This F***ing sucks!&#8221; Still, I am here to say that while I truly want to preserve my entire subscriber base, I don&#8217;t want to at the expense of going back to the old format and my old approach.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a new journey this time around. While my show is still called Freezerburns (with a slight addition of +1 to the title), it feels like I&#8217;m starting over again. The difference is when I started 4 years ago I gained subscribers one person at a time with my original concept: frozen food reviews. Now I have many more subscribers whom I have to shift my brand with. It&#8217;s like I&#8217;m the new CEO and I inherited a couple hundred thousand people that were hired for a different company. I&#8217;ll lose a bunch and I&#8217;m ok with that. <\/p>\n<p>My new show isn&#8217;t for college kids. My old show was. <\/p>\n<p>My new show is for me. And I happen to think it will resonate with others like me.<\/p>\n<p>Much, much more on the grand vision for my show but let&#8217;s just say that this comment make me say, &#8220;Yes!&#8221;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/followgreg.com\/gregoryng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Screen-Shot-2013-02-23-at-10.26.50-AM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2013-02-23 at 10.26.50 AM\" width=\"362\" height=\"125\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/followgreg.com\/gregoryng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Screen-Shot-2013-02-23-at-10.26.50-AM.png 362w, https:\/\/followgreg.com\/gregoryng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Screen-Shot-2013-02-23-at-10.26.50-AM-300x103.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 362px) 100vw, 362px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Until then, know that I am happy and stubborn and am gonna crush this thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So this week I launched my new show.
