I can't be the only one here who hates these cunts lol!
I ended up chatting with a friend of a friend at a gathering one weekend. The guy I spoke to was about 15 years younger, and he showed me a youtube link that brought up a crapload of videos all made by a classmate of his from high school. The guy lives in L.A. and has done very well for himself. He owns a big house, has a bunch of nice cars/toys, and all from the videos he made. On average, each video had been viewed ~30 million times, and there are a lot of them. I wish I could remember something to post a link, b/c there's nothing to them. There's content, but I was amazed at the life this guy was able to have just from those videos. Anyone who is a good salesperson could make a decent income if they can brand themselves in a similar fashion. I don't see the appeal, but I'm glad I didn't have to deal with social media like kids do today, or the internet.Go and talk to a bunch of kids ages 6-18 and ask them what they want to be when they grow up.. you'd be shocked at how man ywill say youtubers/gamers/ tik tok etc

I haven’t had cable in many years
I just recently signed up for stack TV tribal on amazon prime, it quickly reminded me why I hate cable and why most people in this world have brains of mush
As far as youtube there is kids of crap in there. There is also some very good content. I watch a lot of stuff about travelling, living in different countries.
I have also gained a pile of knowledge about financials from YouTube as well.
Just like anywhere else you need to do your own research and check facts.
The thing I like about youtube is it levels the playing field. Anyone with a good idea and that ability to edit can eventually make some decent money on there. It’s nice to see Hollywood not decide what we watch.
My main gripe with Youtube is the ever increasing censorship and commercials
Been hearing good things about Patreon might have to check it out
My grandson likes to watch videos of gamers, it’s how he learns to play the games, find Easter eggs and so on.I'm not on any social media, but it does amaze me that some bloggers, or influencers, or whatever they call themselves, are able to earn a significant income doing nothing. Same for youtube stars, like those tards that kids watch playing video games instead of playing the games themselves. And this inspires more kids to do this thinking it's an easy way out... it's sad really, furthering the degradation of society.
The world is changing, us dinosaurs are just not with the times, lol.
Nah, I have go-pro, it was a gift. I considered taking it when I fish, but like you said the video quality is terrible. The guys who are making quality, watchable videos have people who know what they are doing, and not some camera attached to their head.The way I see it, if you have a good personality, good looking, do something that people also really like, got a good camera and slowly build your name you can deffinitely make a living..
That being siad, there's tons of youtubers who never amount to anything...
Have you ever tried to make a video? I used a go pro before and once in awhile my cell phoen to try to document some hunting trips, trapping stuff etc.. It's incredibly hard to make it look anything more than early 70's amature porn.
