Get it wrapped at yiannimize wraps and put a stupud exhaust system in it and have archie or tony as a cameo.And bam you will have views and be one step closer to becoming a rich youtuber.Do not forget to put multiple amg badges on your merc and mention that your mate owns a lamborghini

Or Bentaygas...
I think I would prefer the speed bump option. The chances of me purchasing a £150k vajazzled/motorised sofa are pretty slim.bluemason said:

Already on it. I'm going for an ArmyTrix exhaust, gold and blue wrap, lowering it to within a millimetre of its life and then I'm going to do a selling video, and then a "what have I bought" video. Which will be something really dull that will drag on for ten minutes, have literally no content, but I'll show off my G-Shock...
Don't forget the "5 THINGS I HATE ABOUT MY CAR".DomesticM said:

I see Matt Farah has posted his final 'One Take' video. Will now be concentrating on his podcast and car storage business.
That’s a shame - I liked his videos (particular his drive of an Aston Martin DB4)Yipper said:
Seen stats recently suggesting that, for an average YT video (all types), roughly ~20% of viewers will be gone (click away) in under 10 seconds, ~50% will be gone in under 5 minutes, and ~99% will be gone in under 10 minutes. Very difficult to maintain people's attention, particularly the prized under-25s.
I think the only content on this trip I watched was STG's 4 youtuber video. I think like most people I cherry pick, although on this occasion I did watch all the way through.Blink982 said:
So did any of the cardashians say anything bad about the Bentayga during their 4:43:55 "reviews"?
That's all content in the week, not just Bentayga videos. I think all four videos in some way complained or joked about the price, but my video isn't live yet for that matter.
The price? Of a Bentley? Inspired criticism. You have just summed up your lack of car journalistic skills in one hit. Ok, easy target on my part but I cannot remember any of the main UK car YouTubers saying anything negative about any car as it's always "awesome" as you've been paid to be there. Ah, I forgot you're not serious reviewers, it's just "entertainment".

Never have I once in my life been paid to review a car, you should be a little more careful with your accusations.My content is a balance of being informative and providing entertainment, that may be describing the car, detailing the experience, explaining the thought behind it and offering some impressions. In this instance the car in question carried options totalling an additional 60% of its base price, which anybody with frequent experience of these things would know is unusual.
If I wanted to be a journalist then I would have studied subjects and aimed for qualifications in that regard, whereas I prefer to create my own style of media which many people seem to enjoy - and I think most importantly, I do. The mistake is that you don't understand what you're watching, you've created an image in your mind of what you think these videos should be and are offended that they aren't that. I think that's quite an old fashioned approach in a fast changing world and as quickly as this has arrived, so will the next thing, maybe you'll prefer that but maybe you won't.
