As you say, the audience is developing and will now backlash just because they see the words "Paid promotion" even if the content is excellent.
This is one of the more bizarre aspects of some youtube audiences.

Some Quality Cursing on your latest video. Even better with the subtitles on... Although the automatic speech recognition keeps putting up the word "can't" in error. smile

I see BOTB has started doing a PHTV type chat show:

Ep1: https://youtu.be/L8XGIPGbCS4

Ep2: https://youtu.be/34LkxrDCfVM

I quite like it, definitely better than The old PH efforts!

I'd like to see this as podcast rather than a short news segment. Sounds strange but I don't have time to watch a 10-20 min news video but have time to listen to an hour of news and car chat.

I’ve made that suggestion as it happens Patrick. Christian is more than comfortable with voice only!

Plus they’ll be ~12mins in future. We’re still learning but hopefully people will like it biggrin

Youtube now plays when your phone is locked. So you can play a video, then put your phone in your pocket as if it was a podcast.

Wait so TGE said he had a car 8 weeks but it might actually have been 6 weeks? fk! I don't know what to believe now, is nothing real any more? Can nobody be trusted? Who will stand up to these fat youtube cats telling these massive lies?

Exposing "smoke and mirrors" whilst posting under a pseudonym. Irony

You refer of course to TGE, who was caught posting on here, bashing other YT’s, using a pseudonym. Irony.

I post under my real name. Here’s me at Cessnock: https://twitter.com/SkyRacingAU/status/87160368494...

There appear to be a few rumours regarding car ''ownership'' of late too. (or the lack of it anyway)

I have seen a number of social media posts from people giving it the big I am in "their" new motor, when I know the V5 is in a filing cabinet about 10ft from my desk...

So you counteract that by doing the same thing? I'm not against what you're saying, far from it. I just think it would carry a bit more clout if you were even loosely associated with your profile.

Also I almost replied without clicking that link, praising you on outing yourself laugh

does anyone care if they actually own the cars ?

surely the viewer just want's to see new shiny , who owns it doesn't matter.

When they are claiming that they are all self made by "playing the markets", or investing in property, when in reality they have hit the short lived peak of being a binary trading affiliate or had a lucky viral video, it's somewhat disingenuous at best.

So what , i watch to see shiny cars i'll never own.

I don't care if you pretend to be a businessman whilst actually living off mummy/daddy just show make videos.

If i want to watch somebody real then there's danny dc2 or monkey london .

That's certainly very cheeky, but knowing everyone in this space quite well there's only one person I've been able to deduce would fit the bill.

Let's hope they don't get called out on it, internet audiences can be vicious and don't forget things easily.

I've seen it more than once, but I won't be identifying my company vehicles.
We supply vehicles that are not permitted to be resold for a period, so when I hear that somebody has "bought" one, I need to do some digging.
