...really gets on my tits.

Not quite sure why, just thought I'd share the loathing.

Yeah cheers for that, what are you going to do next poo in my icecream?!

So is anyone else jacking their jobs in then to do youtube videos? I think I might quit and just film 1/2 hour long 1080p videos of inanimate objects starting with an ironing board.

That's actually a good idea, infact I'm going to challenge myself to get more hits than the majority of his videos, perhaps something good from this thread is born after all.

There are actually a few people on Youtube that do make a living from this kind of thing, but really to be succesful it's more about being in the right place at the right time, with content people want, rather than anything else.

The problem is that there are too many people that genuinely believe they are special, funny or have something worthwhile to say when the reality is far different. I honestly can't understand why vlogs and all that sh*te gets watched by people, but I'll happily watch the likes of people doing something more extraordinary like FPSRussia, EpicMealTime (which seems to be running out of epic now) and a few of the gamers/reviewers channels like BlueXephos (they can't play games that well except for Minecraft, but they are funny guys and British which makes a change).
