Why are we Irish so reluctant to support other Irish Youtubers?

I follow mainly gaming, comics and a few historical channels like the great war.

There's a few youtube news channels like vice as well but none of the actual news channels like RTE or CNN.

RT and DW have made some good documentaries and I find myself binging on them every so often but there's no way I'm going to watch an Irish lad suck up to right wingers and moan about in a pseudo intellectual manner about left wing politics. I spent 15 minutes watching him last night and I think he's both an idiot and deluded.

And I nearly forgot. Fail vids and russian dashcam footage

The Great War is fantastic. I could listen to Indy all day.

There are plenty of good quality Irish channels and Irish people on YouTube, one of them has over 18 million subscribers -

Hmmmm...one eyed jack links to jacksepticeye.

I watch Linus Tech Tips. That's about the only one I get notifications for. Otherwise I am watching people getting hurt in hilarious ways on the likes of Failarmy and kittens doing cute kitten things.

Was about to link the same thing. This Galway lad is great. I back him on patreon to actually support financially (and because I have ad-block) https://www.patreon.com/realengineering

Foil arms and hog are also pretty good.

I'd follow mostly fitness & nutrition, highly recommended is recently site banned boards member James Hanley.

Why'd Hanley get a site ban?

Oh and the Epic News lads.

Ahh jaysus I miss them. They haven't put out anything in a while I don't think. Their Tallafornia swipe/St Patrick's Day swipe was gold imo

When I think of people 'following youtubers', I just think of my kids watching Dan TDM.

Hector Bellend

99% of all professional youtubers are shyte.

Therefore, as an extrapolation, they won't get a subscription

I hate the fact that a "youtuber" is an actual thing....

Thought youtube was the medium for sharing light-your-own-fart videos.

Fairly sure they're the lads behind the Paddy Power Fan Denial stuff, some of which is gold.

Here's a Computing Forever video about a shoe ad. While I agree the ad is ridiculous I can't understand why an Irish man is enraged enough about a Danish advertisement about womens shoes to make a 13 minute video about it.

The original ad is a little over a minute and a half long.

You know, I'd give women more than equal pay just to annoy that lad. Christ, that guy is insufferable. Anyone that uses the term 'cultural marxism' is almost always a tool.

Of all the irish youtubers to suggest we support you pick this clown? He insists on shoe horning politics into everything. He's massively anti-SJW to a ridiculous degree. He's obsessed with the colour of everyone's skin. He lost the plot when the main female character in the new star trek series was named "Michael". He's stirring the pot but just on the other side. Ugh just listen to his voice. Was gonna post some of his videos but I frankly want him to go away.

He looks like a generic "Look at me, I'm so politically incorrect and I love triggering SJW's" type. No thanks.

If I find an Irish youtuber has videos I'm interested I will watch them like Sminky Shorts but for the most part I listen to Dan Carlin or watch Royal Jordanian filter with envy.

He also just gained about a dozen boards subscribers on the back of your post. :pac:

Any chance of a link?

I don't think we are TBH. I think anyone who sh1ts on them probably falls into the jealousy camp, considering that these are people making a living and being successful from doing something they enjoy.

My mates enjoy all the content from Youtube heavyweights like Casey Neistat and Reviewbrah. They even watch the daily news uploads by Philip DeFranco and are therefore well versed in American current affairs but have no time for Irish discussion channels like ComputingForever run by Dave Cullen. Even then, most of Dave's subscribers are from outside Ireland. I hate to use the word but is it a case of classic Irish begrudgery or is their content just crap?

I like Dave Cullen. I think he speaks alot of common sense about the world which is increasingly becoming more and more insanely PC and Communist like. We are being encouraged to celebrate everything from obesity and mediocrity, to gender quotas. Goal posts continously being moved by a hoard of empty spoilt entitled individuals who make demand after demand without any rationality or consistency.

Alot of people dont like to hear this kind of thing because they are fully paid up members to the world Orwelian described in 1984 where independent thought is killed stone dead and minority groups continue with this victim complex that is serving only to continue to cause worldwide division and segregation.

Ill continue to watch Dave anyway because its certainly far better than any of the self serving bias shíte peddled by the leftist mainstream media.

Respectfully TG, I'd both agree and disagree with what you said. Specifically I'd disagree with the first part of your sentence and agree with the second. Though I beg your leave in the explanation as earlier I was "dragged" kicking and screaming running and smiling to the pub.

The plain fact TS is that "Independent thought" is all over the bloody place. On Youtube alone, among all the unboxing selfie sluts gurning for their cams for our clicks you'll find right, left, whatever you're having yourself thought all over the place, just search click and agree and subscribe. If society, rather the follow the ringing tills types were out to kill independent thought you wouldn't. All you'd get would be one side. This is historically consistent with regimes. Orwell's 1984's denizens would know no different and they wouldn't be able to say what you said because they would be blocked from any dissension to the correct view. It simply wouldn't, couldn't exist. Pick any regime in history and you'll find only a very tiny minority, usually with equally minority and lucky access to external information asked questions. And they asked them privately. If [insert your fave opinion setter here] says X, then you will easily find a rebuttal in short order.

To your second part; minority groups continue with this victim complex that is serving only to continue to cause worldwide division and segregation, I wholeheartedly agree. What IMHO we're seeing is not "censorship" of one view or another, but a largely free for all of all opinions. And echo chambers. And divisions. And as you say segregation.

The old saw of divide and conquer fits pretty well. Though I'm no tinfoil hattist, I would suggest that if any loose group in a position of power wanted to keep a society under a semblance of control and make coin on the back of it; then 1) give all of them the notion of self governance, 2) give all of them the notion that they might be "victims", 3) give all of them the notion that there is an "oppressor" 4) Give all of them the notion of a voice to express all that 5) Sit back and watch the tills ring. As we speak there are wars and takeovers and economics that will ultimately affect us all to one degree or other. Fruitlessly arguing on Twatter/ArseBook over whether transgender folks leave the toilet seat up or down is one helluva distraction from all that.

Plus whether you click and view this Cullen lad or go watch his polar opposite Youtube/Google are getting your profile and revenue from it. Win win for them, no matter what you believe or watch, so long as you believe and watch. Make no mistake, Google/Youtube would put up vids of naked whores bullfighting with lasers. And mud. If they thought they'd get away with it and it got clicks and revenue.

Fair enough. I'm still not seeing the communism these lads see everywhere.

It must be the gleam off my Orwellian Worldview Subscriber Card that's distracting me…
