This is not a defence for the shmee's of the world and I recently replied to his Instagram picture of a bracelet with a meteoright in it which replaces your car keys for £60k saying how much good he could have done with that money... I know I shouldn't get drawn in but that did seem to me like he was sticking two fingers up!
Im not a fan or follower but thats exactly what his IG account is for. ADVERTISING.Its not his key/bracelet. Is just for the picture and the payment.
Manufacturers take him seriously and lend him virtually any car these days as he has genuine influence.
His posts are read by 21-35 years olds, he says.
The JWW guy is new and has attracted 45k followers pretty quickly but for what reason he's doing it I cant work out.
He's already rocking north of 700K worth of cars so it could just be ego.

In fairness I watch some of his stuff from time to time (usually on the loo tbh) and there's some interesting cars. Not massively into the 'I've bought three cars from you tube 'views' but that's where things are going now - just look at that Kardashian mob for example In fairness to the guy I emailed last year after he did a piece on the Ferrari and Lamborghini factories asking for some tips for a trip and he emailed straight back with loads of good advice - seems a genuine guy, just from a different world (I'm 42 o oh).........
I do think the vlogging thing is a problem. Normally i would just ignore it, but having an Instagram account it's unavoidable and i'm starting to wonder how this vicarious living will affect kids longer term.
This easy access to celebrity or millionaire lifestyle starts to breed the idea that these people are the rule, not the exception and that, once you hit 18, suddenly you'll be in a Ferrari.
What impact will that have? I see no stories about the pride in grafting or building a career. Worse still, occasionally these vloggers will skirt round the question of how they earn money and suggest something ambiguous such as they've "been saving" or "done some investing", giving further hope that their status is actually attainable to the average kid.
The people relgiously watching this videos are going to get a hard dose of reality when they leave education and find out that, most likely, they'll actually have to work for a living, furthering the sense of entitlement i get from younger people today (bear in mind i'm saying this and i'm 30!).

Quite. one of the things I really like and admire about Guy martin is his attitude to fame, fortune and wealth; first and foremost, he's a truck mechanic and that works takes priority. Whatever else he's involved with - racing motorbikes and push bikes, or TV work etc. - is merely a sideline and earnings from that are just a bonus, not something he feels entitled to or to base a lifestyle on. He's a very good mentor IMHO whereas, as you say, a lot of vacuous celebrities of various sorts are certainly not.
why oh why anyone would listen to a pop up car critic such as Schmee or any of the other miriade of "lets make a buck out of advertsing on youtube" commentators I'll never know he's target audience must be 12 to 15 year olds 25 to 35 year olds yeah right...LMFAO anyway go drive the car yourself if you intend to buy one I'm sure most blokes can manage to formulate there own opinions.....I remember when the motoring industry Professionals absolutely panned the 964RS and you could buy one for £20k then in latter years they became the purist 911 driving experience you could get and we know what happened to values from there on in.....Critics Pah!!!!
