"Looking back, I was just someone with a dream na makakapagpasaya kahit pandemic. There were moments dati I wondered what life would be like if I ever made it," he recounted.
Esnyr first rose to fame on TikTok through his relatable comedy skits, where he portrayed multiple high school characters. As his audience grew, he took on a bigger challenge by creating long-form content on YouTube, producing his first high school series.
In a previous interview with Melai Cantiveros on Kuan on One, Esnyr opened up about the biggest gamble he made while pursuing that dream. Despite being told that creators often struggle to transition from short-form to long-form content, he decided to invest all of his savings into the first episode of his YouTube series.
"Nag-start jud ko, tanan nako savings gibuhos nako sa first episode kay ang gusto lang namo maka-reach lang siya ug 100,000 views. Mao lang jud to ang among goal kay niana sila, lisod daw mu-transfer from short-form to long-form videos. Mao to gi-risk nako tanan," Esnyr recalled in Bisaya.
Translated into English, he said:
"I just started, I poured all my savings into the first episode because all we wanted was for it to reach 100,000 views. That was our only goal because people said it was difficult to transition from short-form to long-form videos. That's why I risked everything."
The risk proved to be well worth it, as the series exceeded every expectation and became a massive hit on YouTube.
"Tapos okay ra sad na gi-risk nako kay murag ni-boom siya, first video namo niabot 9 million views. Mao to nakuratan ko kay dugay-dugay na wala ko kakita ug videos na 9 million, 10 million [views]," he shared.
In English, he said:
"It turned out to be worth the risk because it really boomed. Our first video reached 9 million views. I was shocked because it had been a long time since I had seen a video reach 9 or 10 million views."
Five years after quietly filming videos inside his room with no budget, no wigs, and no professional lighting, Esnyr's story has become an inspiring example of how determination, passion, and the courage to take risks can lead to remarkable success. From hoping to reach just 100,000 views on his first long-form video, he eventually saw it soar to 9 million views—an achievement that validated every sacrifice he made along the way.
