Pivoting towards advocacy, Jakob now uses humour, satire, and powerful storytelling to expose the harsh realities of animal agriculture while encouraging audiences to reflect on their choices.
Reaching millions of people each month across his platforms, Jakob is able to blend education with entertainment, making ethical issues accessible and impactful. His engaging style has resonated with thousands, inspiring a growing shift towards compassion for animals.
