It can’t be real. I review trainers in my channel and came across this guy https://youtu.be/W9txZZVNQ8w

I wonder if he’s trying to emulate Brad in a sort of way. Or do we think it’s genuine???

He genuinely makes me feel uncomfortable.

The number 1 car reviewer or Brad Hall?

Brad Hall.

The number 1 car reviewer reminds me of most of the men in my family. Worldwide comedians and full of it.

Ha, to be fair it’s an act and while cringeworthy I think it’s quite funny

What if one of us watches it 100,000 times? I feel there's some people in this thread who would.

Edit: Have a link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMQwybcRUVw

If someone could return the favour at 12pm that would be appreciated <3

That could work. Did my best Attenborough with this one. CRAB TALK

So. I had my original post, quoted here by tge removed due to rules. Out of interest, what rule did I break, and why wasn't the quote of it deleted?

Yep, I've assumed that it's some sort of odd trolling, comedy thing, that isn't hitting the mark. Came to my attention on one of the Lotus forums where he posted a link to the "FXX Donuts" video claiming he'd just happened across it. Despite his forum name being rather similar to that of the chap in the videos. It then got even weirder with him neither confirming or denying it was him. Odd, very odd.

At a guess probably because you scored zero out of 10 for subtlety with the "I'll post your link if you post mine" routIne. But that's just a guess

daft isn't it.
Either allow the influencer to link a vid, or ban all links. Otherwise it just becomes cringey.
Put a little description next to it, so that we can decide whether to either watch a man walk on a beach or watch a man pick up some fast food, that'd be helpful for the discerning petrolhead who only watches quality car based content....

The irony is, no one did

TGR has gone from cars watches to trainers to holiday vlogs to iPhone reviews. Hitting all the key verticals

TGE was banned from this thread, again :/

[danzman1991]

Personally, I will miss TGE terribly.

He was pushing the self promo stuff a bit though. We all know the rules.

[Brainpox]

He was getting pretty boring with the whole trying to get people to watch his videos thing. I'm sure those of us who want to watch will be subscribed already.

Ironically his content has been utter ste for a good while now.

Personally, I'm here for more of an insight into the vlogging world rather than self promotion. It reeks of desperation where it's not needed. Let the videos do the talking...

Sam's wrapping his new 718 Cayman S already.



Interesting he's going with Yianni rather than Dub as usual.

That is not interesting.

Because of this thread, I am now subbed to many of these YouTube lunatics. That Shmee wrapping video was excellent- I think him and the seen through glass person are producing genuinely interesting and original content. And I am late 40s.

There really is a lot of spectacularly st content out there as well. I am glad the internet wasn’t around in my early 20s for me to make videos of myself to watch back 20 odd years later.

Well you're a ray of sunshine aren't you?

[limpsfield]

Sorry- was genuinely meant as more of a jokey comment.

But, you are quite right on the ray of sunshine shizzle!

I mean... they're pretty much the same thing.
