Serious on YouTube, Ahmad Dhani Says El Rumi's Content is Alay

Kapanlagi.com - Free from prison, Ahmad Dhani is now seriously pursuing the world of YouTube. Not wanting to be left behind by his two children, El Rumi and Dul Jaelani, who have YouTube channels, Ahmad Dhani also has a YouTube channel named Video Legend.

"I've actually been doing this (YouTube) for a long time. I want to participate in educating the nation. So I don't make culinary videos or prank videos," said Ahmad Dhani when met at his home in Pondok Indah, South Jakarta, on Friday (17/1).

The content that will be uploaded on his YouTube account will contain many lessons and stories about history. "I want to participate in educating the nation by creating a YouTube channel about history," he added.

1. Say El Alay Content

Through his YouTube channel, Ahmad Dhani wants to contribute to the intellectual development of the nation with educational videos.

He will not create videos that are currently trending like his children do. In fact, jokingly, he refers to his son El Rumi's YouTube content as 'alay'.

"It's not the same, it's a different concept. El might have a lot of 'alay' things. He himself admits it, El admits 'Dad, if you make something 'alay', more people will watch it,'" said Ahmad Dhani while laughing.

2. Not Chasing Subscribers

Ahmad Dhani explained that in Indonesia, there are still many people who want to learn by watching educational videos. And this is one of the reasons why Ahmad Dhani chose historical content for his YouTube channel.

"Actually, I see that Indonesia has the potential to want to learn, Indonesia has the potential to want to watch educational content, that's why my content is always related to education, science, and music," he continued.

Therefore, he is not chasing subscribers like other YouTubers.

"No (chasing subscribers). I just want to contribute to the intellectual development of the nation," concluded Ahmad Dhani.
