I was introduced to this channel the other day, and it really is a bit bizarre.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC__spnljoqvOVYaMT...

I only watched a couple of videos (they all look the same), but it looks like the concept is thus:

- Man sits in his home office, and videos himself opening cheap chinese tat that he is sent for free to 'review'
- He doesnt really review it, he just opens the boxes and tells you what it is
- He then goes on to sell the free chinese tat and pockets the income (nice little earner!)

Is it really that interesting watching someone open an Amazon box? Granted, he doesnt have a huge number of subscribers, but 62k isnt bad!

I subscribe, he does review but it is just once a month he opens all the boxes he gets sent for free. I like his very dry presenting style.

Google 'autonomous sensory meridian response'.

Some people seem to find ASMR unboxing videos calming, like watching Bob Ross painting, though Stu needs to improve his technique biggrin

It sounds like ur a bit jealous of him pal!!!! He's not rly getting stuff for 'free' is he... he puts imself out on the web for 62k people. And what do u think he make his vids wit... magic beans? The stuff he gets is part of the whole package of making vids for us, and as I see it, he can do wot he wants wit it. Sellin it gets back some of his time n money I gues!

Chill oot bro and if u aint got something positive to say about sum1s passion... don't say it at all!

Also, correct me if am rong, but he donates a part of his earnins 2 charity… how much ov ur wage do u donate pal!?!?!?

I subscribe and like him. I think his opinions are worth listening to on some products. However, 90% of the stuff on his channel is landfill. Good luck to him if he makes a living out of it.

Chill out brother and if you haven't got something positive to say about someone's passion... don't say it at all!

Also, correct me if am wrong, but he donates a part of his earnings to charity… how much of your wage do you donate pal?

I like him and he does review stuff, but only the stuff he is sent that interests him.

He does do reviews - just not everything that is sent. Seems to do a regular 'unboxing' of all the stuff that comes in and then reviews whatever is interesting. His videos pop up in my YT feed every now and then.

He does have a slightly strange presentation style though, very dry and understated - But no worse than a lot of the completely false 'Wow, shiny! best thing ever!' Youtubers that you get so many of. There are more than a few very slick and polished channels out there that seem to be doing little more than shilling for big companies that send them very expensive items and take them on expensive junkets to presentations and launches.
