Lots of
at some of those observations guys.
I never really got into YouTube because: I’m old, I detest narcissistic self promoters and I generally had much better things to do.
However this year, despite being busy as hell 90% of the time, I managed to start watching a few of these ‘channels’ occasionally so that I could avoid going out mingling with the irrepressibly stupid and the arrogantly self entitled that swarmed my area “because it’s safe down here so we don’t have to follow rules like we do at home” and yeah, I still managed to get the zombie apocalypse virus thanks to their efforts.
Anyway, one of the first I got to see was Joe Achilles having a short term loan of a just released M135i x-Drive direct from BMW UK so he could influence away.
Fake enthusiasm overload. The car wasn’t a hugely overpowered RWD saloon and so in all honesty he probably thought it was dull. Alas he’s trying to make a living out of it and seems like a very nice chap so I watched a few more of his vids. Then I stopped because I’m not a BMW overpowered RWD saloon fanboy being paid by BMW/Audi.
About the same time I discovered a man called Ped. Now he seems like a nice chap too but f**k me... 😴😴😴
Having decided YouTube was not for me I then happened upon a ‘channel’ that looked like it would be in all German but decided I’d go with it anyway and that’s where I got a little bit of hope up. That just happened to be Thomas of Autogefuel (sp?)
A far more professional magazine style review at last.
A mixed bunch. At least YouTube isn’t exclusively for finding out how to fix your bog seat hinges I now know.
Oh, and Mat Watson can be amusing in a throwaway sort of way.
Thus I became an occasional viewer rather than a total avoider.
I’ll probably stop again when every other video is exclaiming “look, it has drift mode yo!” when the VW Press fleet Lapiz R’s become the internet’s next A45S.
