Career
So how did Sydney start her career in entertainment and political commentary? You might be shocked to find out that she started her content-creating career in 2011, making music covers, which she has since stopped uploading. Her political awakening happened later in 2018, where she started embracing a conservative perspective on American and Australian politics.
Although it may seem radical and unreasonable to some, Sydney is an anti-social justice, anti-multiculturalism, and anti-feminism kind of conservative (she is also in favor of keeping the United State’s 2nd Amendment as it is). If she’s against all these, then what kind of content does she do? You might ask. Well, Sydney usually criticizes feminists who demonize men and even went as far as organizing the March For Men Movement in Australia in support of men’s rights. During the event, she was able to raise $5000 for fathers in distress.
Some other things worth noting about Sydney are that she is strongly against racism and gender ideologies, which she claims are getting worse and worse worldwide.
Sydney Watson On BlazeTV
In September 2021, Sydney Watson joined Elijah Schaeffer to co-host the BlazeTV show You Are Here. For fans of candid conversations and bold opinions, the show quickly became a must-watch. With guests like comedian Chrissie Mayr, conservative commentators Savanah Hernandez and John Doyle, and even controversial figures like Alex Jones and Kyle Rittenhouse, the show brought in a wide range of perspectives. They even featured YouTube personalities like Actual Justice Warrior and Gothix, ensuring each episode was packed with differing views and heated discussions. But, despite its popularity, *You Are Here* faced some rough patches.
The show’s run wasn’t without its challenges. By early 2022, You Are Here had received two strikes from YouTube and was dangerously close to being terminated. Then in March of the same year, Sydney missed several episodes due to illness, raising questions among fans about the show’s future. Just a month later, the show was put on hiatus, and Sydney eventually revealed that she had quit. What went down behind the scenes? Well, she wasn’t done talking about it just yet.
But the drama didn’t end there. In a particularly chaotic incident, internet personality Ethan Ralph was set to appear as a guest but backed out due to allegations against him and fears of being ambushed by YouTuber Nick Rekieta, with whom he had beef. In a bizarre twist, Ralph showed up at the BlazeTV studio anyway, trying to confront Elijah Schaeffer on a live stream. Schaeffer, however, ignored him, leading Ralph to mock him on social media.
The story took another turn in early 2023 when the You Are Here YouTube channel saw all of its videos wiped clean. The channel was rebranded and handed over to Alex Stein for his new show, Prime Time with Alex Stein, which took over the time slot on BlazeTV. Many subscribers were left scratching their heads—what happened to *You Are Here*?
In February 2023, Sydney Watson announced she was suing BlazeTV, citing retaliation and wrongful termination. She alleged religious and gender discrimination, as well as abuse by Schaeffer. The legal battle only added more intrigue to an already convoluted story. What really went down behind the scenes at BlazeTV? Fans will be left wondering as the drama unfolds in court.

Sydney was born on June 25, 1993, and is 31 years old as of 2024.
