Note the lack of an actual apology. No doubt or they’ll then blame Mallory or someone else.
- stFest became a trending theme, many of you turned around after ridiculous 4 hour queues, and even more people were simply stuck with no food, water or communication about what was happening and why.

You do get the impression with this Alex chap that he's in a big rush to take the world over. Setting up on his own and then setting up this production house arrangement with other creators then a show on top of it. All with no experience of running a business. These guys need to chill out and just make sure you're doing one bit properly first then move onto the next thing. Having the ability to do YouTube doesn't necessarily translate into being good at business outside YouTube.
Unfortunately what happens is that you just make a hash of everything by spreading yourself too thinly and in the case of this show it ends up hurting your brand. Looks to be a bit of a Fyre festival scenario where they just expected the thing to happen without meticulously planning for it. There's widespread demands for refunds. It could wipe him out the from this.
This sums up my thoughts, he seems to be making a lot of clangers lately and I feel it’s going to get worse.

I'll subscribe to TDC etc and enhance Alex's wallet that way
Enhance his wallet? - The guy who is clearly a petrolhead, like the rest of us on here. He became a writer for Autocar and then a presenter on a car channel. Takes a huge risk and sets up alone. Creates a number of channels with enjoyable content which costs nothing for us to watch, creates 'Mattwood' event for a fellow petrolhead who has terminal cancer, and then like Shmee gets endless hate on here. Why? because Brits cant stand others either doing well for themselves, or doing better than others.
Bitterness and Jealousy as always on this thread
Im sure Shedfest will be a great event, I wonder if the people who are commenting it will be terrible have ever organised their own events for anything?
Actually, no doubt someone will pipe up that he isnt a Petrolhead, like Shmee isnt apparently.
Shame the show was a write off, reminded me of the good old Edition38 show days. That place was bloody mental.
Massive congrats to Matt Armstrong what a story what a success. If PH was a pub tonight it should look like this

It must be terrifying in some ways to be a YouTuber and getting a house like that on what I assume is a mortgage?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYkRG4cgCrE
You just never know when a trend might change, what terrible decision YouTube could make that wrecks your career etc

I took from watching the video that Mat has been savvy with his earnings and has enough passive income from rental property that he would be completely fine. Not to mention he has probably not far off 7 figures in cars if it came down to it.You just never know when a trend might change, what terrible decision YouTube could make that wrecks your career etc
Well done to him he has worked hard for it and it is fully deserved. I much prefer this type of story to "rich guy buys expensive car with daddy's money"...

Also nothing wrong with being proud of one's achievements, especially when you have taken risks to get there. Can't please everyone whatever you do.

He should be allowed a brag, he's worked very hard, working several jobs and long hours and gone from not a lot to what he's got now.
You can see from the video he can't believe it himself.
I quite liked his comment which was along the lines of enjoy what you've got today because you might not have it tomorrow. Something i should try and learn to do.

Anyone should be allowed to brag. And people who fund their lifestyle should be entitled to comment. Plenty of people have more than him but don't feel the need to post videos of their lifestyle on the internet.You can see from the video he can't believe it himself.

Not on YouTube on the back of daddy’s money and/or a privileged background.
No finance propping him up either with his car stuff.
Gets his hands dirty …..
No condescending “I think I’ve done very well for myself”
More “I’ve done it so can you”
Well done Matt…
