In 2021, Jidon Adams, famously known as JiDion, was on his way back to his hotel room at DreamCon, an anime and gaming convention held in Arlington, Texas, when he ran into Desmond Johnson, a member of RDC World , a content creation group, in the elevator. Desmond is also one of the masterminds behind the event, and JiDion, who is a big fan of the group’s work, praised them for the platform they built through social media and YouTube, which led to this convention. Although appreciative, Desmond had no idea who he was talking to, which was the common theme for JiDion that weekend at the convention. Despite having a solid following of 900,000 YouTube subscribers, JiDion didn’t have the five million he has now and he wasn’t widely-recognized yet by his peers.
