Ruth Kadiri Criticizes Producers Pressuring Actors for 1 Million YouTube Views
Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Ruth Kadiri, has spoken out against producers who pressure actors to secure one million views on YouTube within the first day of a movie’s release.
Kadiri, known for her influential presence in Nollywood, took to her Instagram to advise fellow actors not to succumb to such unrealistic expectations. She stressed that the success of a movie should not be measured by YouTube views alone.
“Dear Nollywood actors, take the pressure off your shoulders! Any producer who requires one million views from you in one day has failed,” she wrote. “A good production requires more than your face. One million views is not a standard of success. There’s so much you don’t know about YouTube. Don’t let their ignorance rob you of your joy.”
