Here is the problem with influencers…this guy is a prime example…

Says no steroids and found to have an 11k/MONTH habit!
Many promote wrong, or even dangerous info and people follow it.
Any influencer found to be promoting dangerous info should be charged, jailed, and stripped of all their funds.

My wife watches this. It drives me nuts. I have to put in my earbuds and listen to something else on my laptop.
My wife and MIL watch a Polish version of something along the lines:
- farmer looking for a spouse
- marriage on first sight (they meet at the ceremony and have 1 month together)
- love at the old folks home
I tried telling them it’s all BS…but they enjoy it so what’s the harm
GTAM in the wintertime is about as ridiculous a reality show as I can watch/read...
I don't watch any specific channel religiously nor do I subscribe to any. For that, I don't have any recommendations.
If I find one that is interesting for whatever reason, I will look thought a few more. Come to think of it, a lot of them them have something to do with travelling. I like to see other parts of the world and how people live and get by. In some cases barely get by. I like to travel myself, but I lack the time and money to visit all these places. So I do it through someone else's lens.
I hate the fake stuff and as soon as I sense it, I'm not entertained anymore and will not continue watching.
Also, a lot of YouTubers have come and gone or can't keep up anymore. Simply because trying to keep up with the demand of staying relevant is actually hard work. Not to mention of the young influencers ending up in therapy etc because they couldn't handle it anymore, some even receiving threats from haters etc.
This guy from Vancouver explains it in his video how we would sometimes rather go back to his day job, being a drywaller then a youtuber.
He made a decent living creating videos on how to do drywall. COVID helped him as his views sky rocketed as tons of people were doing renos during that time.

Don't make me start a "What's the best oil to use in my bike" thread.
Did you put fuel stabilizer in your bike? WHY or WHY NOT????
They filmed in BC they had to wait for a storm , when the producers decided to move filming to Alberta ( LacLaBiche to Ft Mac highway) all you had to do was wait till tomorrow for a huge truck wreck . It was literally a daily occurrence. My son appeared in the episodes where they did road racing on the frozen ice on LacLa Biche , they put him in a race car said put the tranny in second , mat the gas and just let the clutch go when your ready , your on ice . He made quite a mess so I heard from witnesses.

Two+ decades of GTAM in my brain, I can basically predict how every single thread will go, ChatGPT-Stochastic-Parrot-style...

'Guy at work did "the Great Canadian Challenge" or something like that...
Word is he lied to his employer about the time off, so he got fired...
How the hell he thought calling in sick or being AWOL for weeks to do TV show would fly when... he was on TV when he was supposidley "sicK"

Interesting, as there usually is a several months difference between filming and airing.
Here’s another ********* ‘influencer’…

Ontario labour ministry investigating injury on Toronto set of 'Beast Games'
Ontario's labour ministry is investigating an industrial accident on the Toronto set of 'Beast Games,' the newly released Prime Video competition series from YouTube star MrBeast.
How is he an "influencer"? ....an influencer demos or suggests products to buy.
The guy from Revzilla or from Fort Nine are influencers/infomercial creators for motorcycle products. Entertainment is secondary to the product pitches but helps.
This kid has been doing it since he was 3 and making millions.
Mr Beast is certainly an entertainer...can't say I've watched much if any but his focus does not seem to be suggesting products as just pulling eyeballs for clicks. I could be wrong on that.
Shows like My Kitchen Rules ....popular here ...are entertaining to pulll viewers for mainstream media viewing, not Youtube.
I've not seen any issue with the veracity of MKR and t is engaging

I don't personally classify a regular old YouTuber who occasionally hawks a product as part of the video an "influencer" honestly. They have to pay the bills, and the bigger youtubers get, the more opportunities there are to make a paycheque, I get that. In Too Deep guy just did a plug for Jackery in one of his recent episodes, but it was pretty clear it was a "they sent me this, it's cool, it's useful, I like it" type thing, not a fake 30 minute thing.
The "Oh look at me I'm special, everyone dote on my every word, oh by the way, this perfume/cologne is soooooooo amazing, everyone really should buy it, you'll smell sooooooooo good, I use it, you could smell like meeeeeeeee" type ones annoy the **** out of me though.
My sister and I got stuck behind one of the latter sorts while we were in line trying to get a picture at the famous "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign - there was some lady there with a small gaggle of followers and 2 or 3 guys with cameras hovering around her trying to get every possible angle....she tried to skip the line to begin with (people where having NOTHING with that, but then she seemed upset about that that someone dared tell her no), and then when she got up there (thankfully after us) it sure looked like she was planning to spend 15-20 minutes as she was doing all the "pose for instagram" nonsense, blah blah blah. Everyone else was spending 1-2 minutes tops - stand up there, take a photo (everyone was helping everyone else to take photos, it was nice) but the line was long so it was a "get your photo and GTFO thing. Not sure what happened, we left.

I don't put up with that nonsense. After 1-2 minutes, I'm going in. If weird insta person is in my pictures, that's part of the story. If they're ******, I don't care. If they want 20 minutes of alone time, they can wait in line ten times.
