Malinga the Swinga Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Suppose it's like any walk of life. There are those who work incredibly hard at promoting themselves and the brand they produce. Guys like the Sidemen, Chunkz, Young Filly and others produce content people want and enjoy and although they act like dafties sometimes, they are anything but daft. They are smart with money, constantly reinvent themselves and diversify into loads of different steams to produce revenue. Then there's the 'only fans' workers who cover a slightly more adult stream of work. Still, it's up to them and if they are successful, then I wouldn't criticise them. For every success though, there will be loads who are unsuccessful and fail to make a living, either because they don't work hard enough at content or they simply aren't good enough. Even more than some professions, you only get a good living out of it if you are prepared to work hard in first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyCant Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) There’s a couple of kids called Vlad and Niki whose parents did a couple of review videos for toys they had bought. They started about 5 years ago. Pretty soon they were getting toys and other stuff sent to them for free for testing and their stuff is so globally popular now that they have a net worth of $17 million. Go into any big toy shop in the world now and you’ll find Vlad and Niki endorsed products. The original kids are getting older now so they’ve recently produced another 2 to carry on the franchise. They now have their own production company, huge house with a pool. Great cars, free holidays all over the world, all because the filmed their kids playing with toys !!

Vlad Magic Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 1000lb sisters. Made their name on YouTube and now have their own TV show.

Shooter McGavin Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 A lot of YouTubers seem like total twats, but fair play to them with regards to the the level of production that goes into their videos, a lot of the time it seems just about on par if not better than most of the crap on the telly. I’ve no doubt TV will be killed completely by Netflix, YouTube etc at some point in the near future. Instagram influencers on the other hand? A bigger bunch of talentless narcissists you’ll struggle to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauld Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Followed Ray William Johnson from about 2009 when he first started his =3 channel. Watched him go from nobody to millionaire and now does stand up comedy across the US among many other projects. The thing about him is he's always been this really sound, humble, kind hearted, positive guy who does loads to help people as well. One of the good ones. One from back in the day, how he got started. And him now...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but it's so easy to disappear down a rabbit hole sometimes and you suddenly realise it's gone dark outside when you look up. The Music and live gig ones, the aviation pilot videos and the freight train riders in the US are the ones I get carried away with most . I am now into stealth campers and of course the booze review ones which take up even more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
