Mohd Arbaz Khan a well-known vlogger, he has recently returned to India after successfully completing his tour of the United States. So far, he has traveled to more than 36 countries. While this may sound easy, the reality is far more challenging.
Traveling to even a single country can cost lakhs of rupees when you factor in visas, air tickets, accommodation, food, and other expenses. In such a situation, visiting 36 countries is nothing short of an extraordinary achievement. Generally, vloggers rely on two main sources of income: YouTube AdSense and brand promotion deals. The truth is that compared to AdSense, promotional deals often pay several times more.
However, if you are a regular viewer of Arbaz Vlogs, you would have noticed one very important thing:
there has never been a single promotional video on his channel related to betting, gambling, or online gaming apps.
This raises a very crucial question.
When even small YouTubers and Instagram influencers receive offers ranging from thousands to lakhs of rupees for promoting such apps, why is it that Arbaz: who has a reach of millions and an active audience – has never done even one such promotion?
The answer is quite clear.
In today’s time, most promotional offers are linked to online betting, gambling, and gaming apps. You must have seen how a large number of creators openly promote these platforms on social media. This has now turned into a serious social problem.
Almost every day, news reports emerge about individuals who invested money in online betting apps, lost everything, and then: under immense mental pressure – were driven to take extreme steps, even ending their own lives. Promoting such apps is not just unethical; it is playing with people’s lives.
Recognizing the seriousness of this issue, the Government of India has imposed strict restrictions on the promotion of online gambling, betting, and related activities. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and other regulatory bodies have clearly stated that such promotions are harmful to society, especially to the youth. Despite this, many creators continue to ignore these guidelines purely for money.
Amid all this, Arbaz recently revealed that his trip to the United States alone cost him approximately ₹8.5 lakh. It is important to note that this amount covers just one trip. Now imagine the financial responsibility of someone who has traveled to 36 countries.
The conclusion is clear:
Arbaz spends almost as much as he earns on his travels. Without promotional deals, it is extremely difficult for any content creator to survive in the long run.
During a conversation, when Arbaz was asked why he avoids promotions, his answer was straightforward and heartfelt. He clearly said:
“I will never do anything in my life that ruins other people’s lives.”
Arbaz explained that even today he receives offers worth lakhs of rupees from gaming, betting, and other unethical promotional brands – but he rejects all of them without hesitation. According to him, a creator’s biggest asset is the trust of their audience, and he will never compromise that trust.
He also stated that even if surviving on YouTube becomes difficult for him in the future, he will still never mislead his audience.
This mindset makes Mohd Arbaz Khan not just a successful vlogger, but a responsible and honest role model. In an era where money has become the top priority, Arbaz has proven that success can still be achieved without choosing the wrong path.
His journey is not merely about the number of countries he has visited – it is a story of integrity and ethics, setting an example for every content creator to follow.
