It seems to be an international trend with youtubers.

Hungry for clicks, hungry for subscribers, hungry for moolah, going just a bit (or a lot) too far to provoke conflicts on the streets.

 

This seems to be a prime example.

 

Sure anyone may have the right to walk around the mean highly sexually charged late night streets of Pattaya accompanied by a spectacularly beautiful though provocatively dressed not commercial young woman.

But if you do that, especially with ethnicities like Indians roaming about (where rape is sadly way too common back home), are you not asking for trouble? Are you at all justified in expressing fake surprise, outrage and moral indignation when it predictably occurs?

Wasn't that the intention of doing that night walk?

Would it have been at all interesting if nobody had noticed his girlfriend? 
I realize this is controversial and perhaps some feminist types will really be offended, but I'm putting this out there anyway.

 

 

 

 

Yah, it started with that guy provoking a fight in Philippines.

 

He went viral, ever since then they're all doing it.

He has more money than many Thais but he's not in any way a rich foreigner. He's ambitious though and I wish him success.

I posted this video as an example.

Not to specifically go after one youtuber.

So many succumb to the temptation of crossing lines to generate interesting content. 

I suppose many are rewarded for that and others end up paying a big price. 

it's just stupid useless content.

and the video is 3 hours.

 

go watch a Rick Steves travel video instead.

most bloggers are just idiots pointing a camera and they are degrading the content.

He has cameras. Necessary for his trade.

Not aware of any Benz cars.

He buys a lot of older cars usually needing modifications for his car related content though. 

That woman has a nice rack and is in the prime of her life, of course men will look at her. The woman hams it up by saying she's scared, so he can fluff himself up as a protector. 

 

He should get himself a sturdy babushka if he's insecure.

Back in those days, content had to be good to get published.

Now, any idiot can point a camera and put it on Youtube. There's no standards.

And kids today are being born into low standard travel vlogs and don't know the difference.

So gotta teach 'em. 

 

Why does anyone watch that dweeb? What a knucklehead.

How do this tubers get all the clicks? Some numbty puts links up on social media, then people start to click on the video. The video gets more clicks, that will push it to show in your news feed. Tuber get paid for every click, so you support such idiots by watching the content.

 

Best to not click on this kind of videos to start with and just ignore any content about it.

just ignore all.

I never saw him in Thailand driving a Benz. He seems to favor older second-hand brands like Toyota and get them "modernized." He also likes to eat as evidenced in many of his videos of Thailand and recently Vietnamese foods.

Not true posting on Youtube and that's where you find Ivan.

Also not true on X but "standards" border of lack of free speech.

Who is the little America t wat, curly hair. that provokes strangers into attacking him, but then big minders step in to protect him?

The Rachada stalker is as bad, if only the women he creeps around knew what he had been in prison for back in Ireland they would run a mile

If ******* makes you go blind.....he is well on his way.

 

He must be able to see atoms with those glasses.

This Ivan guy is doing all this stuff for clicks on YouTube! That’s how he makes money! All of those YouTubers are pretty much doing the same thing! If anyone doesn’t like his content, simply don’t watch it on YouTube! We live in a free country and make choices all the time! 

Strangely it's always Russians and Arabs actling like a$$holes.

 

Who'd have guessed.

He should wear a paper bag over his head. We don't need to see that face.

Western vloggers = "Been here for 3 years" - "Let me tell you what's up"

he sold a benz not long ago for like 240,000 baht and purchased a 2011 Camry to replace.

 

That does not suggest rich to me.

I agree with that but in the pursuit of clicks lines are crossed and there could be consequences. 

Maybe he didn't know before that its not OK to film walking street stuff. Probably did though. Not a law but may as well be. So he gets pushback and then gets defensive that it was OK as he was only filming himself. He can film himself in his condo! He was doing a sin city scene video. He should man up and admit it.

Kev in Thailand (deceased) was taken to court for filming 2 woman and uploading it without their consent. Kevin Hart on integrity legal covered to law sometime ago. You are not free to film people in public if they object, they can complain and you can be arrested.

I watched it for about a minute just to get a feel for it and see where it was heading. Even that was too much and I stopped. It's brainless tripe. Who the hell can subscribe to that garbage? Who can even stand to watch it to the end?
