The Reactorverse Podcast Ep. 04: Struggle Nation's MDogg & Struggle Soldier

The Reactorverse ventures into the Struggle Nation this week as Eric is joined by MDogg and Struggle Soldier. The duo talk about the evolution from starting in sketch comedy to their eventual dive into reaction videos. Their passion for comic book films, comedy and horror have established them as one of the most unique channels in the reaction space.

The Reactorverse is hosted by Passionfruit video editor and community organizer Eric Rodriguez. Every week, he interviews a different YouTube reaction channel who share their experience of building a brand from watching new movies, tv shows, trailers, and more in real time. These are the stories of those who have succeeded in turning their passion project into a day (and most likely night) job.

Passionfruit is a news site, multimedia brand, and community space for creator labor issues. In an industry estimated to be worth half a trillion dollars by 2027, the majority will go to platforms, distributors, brands, and other corporate interests that rely on creators to produce an endless stream of new content. We are dedicated to advocating for the rights and fair treatment of online content creators, provide resources, news, and advocacy. Every worker in this space deserves Sustainability, Accountability, Equity, and Transparency: a SEAT at the table of the creator economy.
