Didn't he do something extremely distasteful outside a concentration camp once as well?

Just the term 'YouTuber' makes me expect to loathe the individual concerned.

I don't know who this prick is, but going by Chris's synopsis, karma's a bitch. Fuck him.

I don't agree with the assessment of "Youtubers" in general (it's a term that covers a gamut much like "celebrity" does), but this guy is a real prick by the stories I've seen about him.

Look on the bright side, the guy who swindled him is laughing all the way to the bank. :twisted:

Man someone should invent some sort of a locking mechanism. Bidens open borders and open trains isn’t working. Woke nightmare!

Point of order there Mssr Raid, for once I did not wield my usual hanging-judge decision making, I merely said that the term made me expect the worst 8-)

There are a few that are acceptable but for the most part I know that I am right to be concerned ¬_¬

There are loads of high quality content-creators on Youtube, many of them covering interesting topics without being annoying in the slightest, but the term Youtuber does bring to mind someone with a silly haircut telling me things that no human needs to know at a frustrating speed, surrounded by garish coloured lights and some godawful R&B background music.

Influencers are the real detritus of this era. There's a reason they sound like influenza.

Yeah, can't say I disagree with that assessment. Anyone using the term "influencer" to describe themselves clearly enjoys the whiff from their own behind. I suppose they're vaguely equivalent to what "socialite" tends to stand for in the modern sense; self-important people thinking they contribute to society and list "rich" as a personality trait.

Add those "First Time Watcher" Reaction video Youtubers to the list too. All pretending they haven't seen films and putting on a surprised face whenever anything happens. There was one who calls himself a 'film-maker' yet seemingly has never watched any films. Ever.

If you make YouTube videos I tend to assume I hate you and you have to win me over. I guess that’s why I subscribe to about 4 channels. I also don’t care how informative you are, if your thumb is reaction face and/or your title is “don’t X till you watch this video” it’s a firm no.

Yip, if I see some gormless Edwin with a reaction face thumbnail I will never watch that video no matter how interesting the subject matter might be. Also any gameplay video which has a face cam in the bottom corner gets turned off, it brings utterly nothing to the video.
