Shmee 150, what's your thoughts?
Discussion
So I'd never really watched Shmee 150 before. But today I sat and binged watched a good few of his YouTube videos. Tbh still kind of unsure if I like him, on one hand he's comes across as a rich pompous tool, other times a genuine car enthusiasts and quite honest. What's other thoughts on him?
He uses the forum so if you’re lucky he might pop along shortly to tell you what he thinks of you in return.
To be fair, he’s not my cup of tea - but then I can barely stand any of the auto youtubers these days, even the “proper” reviewers are quite off putting for me.
I quite like TGE though, he seems to be the farthest from taking it seriously so even though he’s a click bait master he’s probably one of the few I watch with any sort of semi regularity.

king massive thread??? Really??? His great-great grandfather was the founder of Burtons Menswear, so he definitely comes from a significant amount of money.
The videos are of good quality and are usually quite interesting, though it would perhaps be nice if he was a little more transparent with how he got to where he is.

I don't watch him or any of the countless others, but why would it make you feel better if he confessed he'd inherited some wealth? Do you ask the same question of radio or tv stars? If not, why not?...though it would perhaps be nice if he was a little more transparent with how he got to where he is.
Perhaps more to the point, what difference does it make and why is it any business of yours? Or anyone else's?
Like him or not, his family background has no relevance to his sale-abilty or 'talent'.

It certainly wouldn't make me feel any better, but I feel like a lot of the youngsters starting youtube channels look up to people like shmee and the cars they drive, and end up with completely unrealistic expectations. I don't think there's anything wrong with a little transparency when you are trying to sell a certain lifestyle.Perhaps more to the point, what difference does it make and why is it any business of yours?

I quite like the Shmee 150 channel and personally think Tim comes across as a decent guy. I got into watching his videos during lockdown 2020 and let’s be honest, if we had the cash we’d be living a similar dream. His videos are entertaining and how he funds his car collection/lifestyle is of no interest to me nor is it my business. What is clear to see is that he puts an awful lot of time/effort into his work.
