mrcharliemofo Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I've tried having a look at some of them and also looked at a couple of bars live streams. My conclusion is that watching paint dry would be more fun but that the good news was that if I suffered from insomnia then a couple of minutes watching any of this shite would do the job of sending me to sleep better than any pill. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are quite a quick easy way to do a bit of research. I selected my hotel in Iclemer partly based on vloggers once I’d rounded them down to 2 or 3 I was interested in.

So how did you search for that, did you just put in Icmeler vlogger to google or utube? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just searched the hotels in you tube mate, there was a bunch there about each from simple videos with no one speaking to vloggers, mostly just amateur holiday makers doing reviews. Also a few about the resorts in general rather than specific hotels just to give you a flavour of what the places are like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i usually do it search on facebook about a specific area or hotel, and usually there is a facebook group or 2, so i can read and ask questions as i need to. But will give the vloggers a look if need be, though not sure i'll be needing much bar Southend for this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightcrawler Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I don't know whether it has been mentioned, but Kevin Thailand passed away in April 2020. He had a long battle with cancer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hideaway advert posted and quoted twice that says "We will be celebrating the life of" followed by "The wake that we never had" and "It's been 1 year already, we miss you mate" are probably enough clues even for the not so bright amongst us. 😉 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stray Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I follow NDTVi and he produces some quality videos. I will certainly visit his bar when the Kingdom opens back up as a thank you for everything he has put out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butch Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I only go onto youtube for music or DIY stuff and Philippines news. I have seen a few of these vloggers on YT, but the comments area on many of them seems to be quite "toxic", with arguments, insults, and one youtube channel in particular actively seeking to get these vloggers off YT altogether. Some stuff is really nasty, after watching a couple I kind of thought that it's probably good for local info, but ignore the whole comments section!!

Sherlock Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Anyone heard of the Thai blogger called Tom Ford? Not sure of his blogger name but he its a right wanker!!! Loves to scam his members (those who pay monthly subscriptions to him) and he loves to rip off and con Thai's to their face!! A truly disgusting vile piece of shit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I stumbled on his channel (not going to mention it in case it's not allowed under forum rules) a while ago, watched a couple of vids and a bit of his livestream. He has since changed the name of his channel I think, or maybe started another one as it keeps coming up in my recommendations. Again, I was pretty shocked at the level of vitriol on the stream itself coming both from him to others in the "chat" and vice versa and in my own, personal opinion I thought he treated the Thais very disrespectfully. I binned it after about 5 minutes, haven't been back since, not will I. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chappo Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 vbeggers ..... not really a fan of this concept - will watch some of it but quickly get bored with the presentation style. godness knows why people pay money to watch this stuff - but its a modern thing - people pay people to watch peopl eplaying video games or open packs of cards in fifa - crazy .... There is a channel i watch when the Spacex starship is live, as they have commentary from actual space engineers (not spacex employees) - and its quite informative, but people PAY to ask a question - like 5-10 dollars a time - absolutely stupid... other vbeggers only do a channel to make money from youtube adverts / adsense etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the sailing channels I watch.... you know, young couple, want to sail the world, no income, made YouTube channel to document their travels (actually, they're quite good and watchable, well, I think they are), recently found a real problem with their old yacht which meant their travels were over. They set up a go fund me page, and in 3 weeks raised over $120,000us. They've just bought a "new" yacht for $260,000us.... It's amazing how many similar channels sink their boat (literally), only to have patreons and other "supporters" fund its refurb. No, I dont support any... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappo Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 @sangsom completely agree - and many use it to fund their lifestyles (aka that tom bloke) - i just dont agree with it and i choose to not watch a lot of it.. like i watch tommy's youtube posts each morning to get my daily pattaya news of yesterday... for me the Internet is a technological wealth of information and content - just that some people want to monetise this information and content by adverts. If i dont like their style - then i turn it off... another example is the bloke called dan about thailand (delete if not appropriate) - he always seems to start his posts standing still focused on the camera without blinking - and then starts walking and it just puts me off 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not even including the people that ask for money via that route, I was talking about simply the ones that make it through ads. At around $20,000 revenue for 1 million views with many vids getting several million views and them putting up 1 or 2 vids per week you can see how much some of the more popular vloggers are making. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
