Love them or hate them, look at the numbers following them and the money they earn as a result and its clear why they do it, for many its simply easy money. Its a role a persona they adopt purely for the follows.

 

I would call it prostitution.  Selling themselves for money. Some even live in a Walter Mitty fantasy land of being a minor celebrity. 

 

Different strokes for different  folks.The same applies to bar girls. Those who are ok with it do it , others wouldn't  dream of selling themselves no matter what.

oh  I didn't know he was married before since he never mentioned it.  His current wife looks miserable and he doesn't get along with the family. It's looks so terrible, I really feel for the guy. He's doing a great job chronicling how to ruin your retirement in Thailand though so there's that.

 

You would not be feeling for him if you knew what he did in Ireland, he never mentions it for a good reason, got kids in Ireland as well.

yeah, last video i watched of this guy he was complaining of poor service at mcdonald's and advising people not to marry a thai woman. 

 

 

Check out his video tonight. Some freelancer doesn't like him filming and hits him in the back. He turns around and yells at her and she flashes him her tits. He's gotta get out of that city for this sanities sake.

What about the beef thats going on with the YouTube live streamers, fellas who live in Pattaya against fellas from the uk who just visit a couple of times a year, all arranging straighteners and doxing each others info online,, its quite entertaining...😂

I make and post videos on YouTube. It's a hobby, and a way of staying mentally active. I don't make money from it.

 

My videos are a different genre to the people who cruise the streets of Bangkok and Chiang Mai with a camera.

 

My best result was 53,000 views.

 

 

What is your channel?

You were doing fine till that last little snip... 🙄  Obviously the laughing emoji didn't clue you in to the comedy.

 

No, I don't do mine's bigger than yours.  Or have monetized content, or care or need to.  Good hobby, but too much work for me in this late in the game.

 

Want a lot of views, put 'adult content' in the title.   The pervs, or not, will flock to your channel 

 

 

 

The black tape catwalk videobat the end of yours is far far better

Too many nutjobs on ASEAN.

Best interacted with through safety of a screen....

 

So many unhinged foreigners in Thailand pass for 'crazy farang' in the sense they mean "white western culture's baffling and different ways"...when we as westerners would simply say "F-ing crazy guy" observing some of the antics that go on.

 

Can you imagine the things westerners do in Thailand being done by a Thai in your home country ?

Puts it right in perspective.

I had one who sent an abusive message.

[MarleyMarl]

There is some good content but most of it is annoying and having them come up in my feed are people who lived here for 6 months talking like they are experts in all things Thailand.

I hope people realize it is mostly a scam.

Many of them buy everything.   There are several websites where they can buy subscribers, likes, views.  You Tube is aware of this, but enforces nothing.

Also, there are websites where you can check the algorithms.  Seeing how they might go a period of time with nothing, then suddenly 500 subscribers are added to their account in one day because they bought them.  Buying to make themselves feel important. 

It is a joke when you see them with 20,000 subscribers, but when they do a live stream maybe 100 people are watching.  Liars and cheaters the lot of them I actually think they should be banned many exploiting Thai people it is so arrogant and disgusting. 

 

Source? URL's?

 

You know how the whole monetizing thing works don't you? In case you dont: Youtubers get a share of click price that advertisers pay. I doubt Google allows clickfraud in huge numbers. A few clicks might be fraud but that does not pay an income. You can buy Subscribers from shady providers but a) subscribers don't matter at all - it's vanity and b) black hat and you would never risk to loose the channel to get a few thousands subscribers.

While part of me doesn't want to promote his channel by pasting this link👇🏻the winning part of me wants to say how really fckn annoying this guy is, especially his voice/accent.

Chad is actually one of the better ones.  Maybe you dont like the American accent?

The man knows his stuff, he formerly worked in the Car magazine sector.

I met him at a car show, he is a really nice bloke.

 

[proton]

Some nice Thai ones

 

 

Earn is cute but a bit heavy on the e begging

 

 

[nickmondo]

I watch a fair few, mainly because I dont watch much normal tv, which nowadays is worse than the You Tubers.

Yes, they walk around like they are superstars, and some of them have the personality of a badly designed wall unit...........but they are pretty harmless.  Mainly, if i see any of them filming, I just laugh at them.  But they are harmless.

Some are arrogant, rude, dickheads........particularly one Aussie in Hua Hin.

They do make me laugh when they promote property for rent or buy.......and they are never getting a cut of the sale or rent price!..............yeh.......we believe you.  And of course the property is always a good deal, and great value for money............when its usually a crock of <deleted>, overpriced and in a crap area.

Some of them are good though..........Paddy Doyle for eg.  He is a bit of a whiner at times.........but he showed us Thailand by visiting all of the provinces, so it helped me in choosing places to visit.

On the other side of the coin, another middle aged skater boy tells us what his plans are, his visions et, etc........like any of us could give a rats arse!  But again......he is harmless, and making ok money........I know because he told us......whats that all about?  Do we give a monkeys about his income or his plans?  I guess we must do.

So yes, i do watch.........these people are harmless enough.........if they think they are famous.......i dont really care.....up to them.

It's quite amazing when you watch a YouTuber as some noise in the background while you do something else, only to find out that they make a decent living from it.  I don't think I would ever pay for it.

[Caldera]

A few are brilliant, some are mediocre and most are shyte. I think it's great that people can do this, it just doesn't mean that everyone should.

his videos are a bit bitter sweet, recalling the thailand i arrived in.

He used to be -- maybe still is -- a member here (thasivisa) and on <URL Automatically Removed>.

A low tier dj around town and a utter <deleted> at the time, his youtube channel really good, but I reckon far too niche.

Ah, Pelvis from Portobello, Pattaya’s 2-Satang drivel pump on steroids, back once again to air his grievances about people daring to enjoy themselves in his own private paradise. The rage, the sheer indignation! Imagine it, some bloke with a GoPro 10 having the audacity to film himself without first obtaining permission from Butt-Rash-Bob, the gatekeeper of all acceptable behavior in Thailand. It must be exhausting, mate, spending your fleeting golden years seething over other people’s engaging hobbies.

 

But let’s address the real issue here; this thinly veiled threat of dousing some unsuspecting YouTuber in warm Chang piss suds. Now, Barf-Bag-Bob, let’s be honest. We all know the only thing you’re throwing at people these days is another minging forum post whining about a barmaid overcharging you for a half eaten bowl of greasy peanuts. Or maybe an aggressive eye-roll when a waitress forgets the ice in your watered down whiskey-soda. A face full of beer? More like a muttered complaint into your half-empty glass before shuffling off to your next big adventure, probably whinging to the world about 90-day reports again.

 

And of course, there’s only one content creator you like. One. An Irish bloke, no less? No doubt some miserable young nonce who spends his time griping about the very same things you do such as overpriced drinks, “scammer” motorcycle taxi jockeys, unwashed ladyboy panties, and how Pattaya isn’t what it used to be back in the day when you could get a short-time in for under a fiver. 

 

But tell us, Brokeback Bob, what really grinds your gears about these YouTubers? Is it that they’re out there enjoying life, while you’re here, day in, day out, thumping away on your sticky, old keyboard, searching for new ways to be bitter? Do their smiles offend you? Their followers grind your jock strap? The fact that they’ve actually got faces people want to see rather than one like yours that makes children cry in fear into their McDonald's Happy Meals?

 

At the end of the day, mate, they’re doing their thing, and you’re here, moaning on about it to a bunch of elderly state pensioner on AN, none of whom you know personally and who honestly couldn't give a toss. Who’s really winning now, eh Elvira?

 

 

I admire your neutrality.

I watch his videos only from time to time because I don't care much about history or far away parts of Bangkok. But if I want to know details, then his videos contain a lot of them.

Just watched that, half pissed stumbling along Sukhumvit hating the place moaning about the cost of girls saying it's a waste of time anyway. You just know he would cheat on the mrs in an instant, if free,

I subscribe to some of these Thailand channels.  Mostly, though, once I subscribe I never really look at them.  Anyway, sometimes I pick up some useful travel information.  Places I've never been, hotels that look interesting, and so on.

 

Otherwise, I don't spend any brain cells worrying about any of it.

Tim starts off todays show with:

 

'You can ask me questions about anything, I probably wont know the answer if I don't I'll make it up' At least he's honest, his knowledge of Thailand is quite limited.

As for DJ Pat, he would probably still posting here if mods didn't chase him away
