    So I never thought I'd be one to watch people documenting their lives through video but my brother got me onto them. Before this, I only really used youtube for music and some PopSci.

    He's a professional poker player and when he last visited, he put a few on and I was hooked pretty quickly. Even though I haven't played poker properly in nearly a decade, I find them really motivating. These guys, while successful, go through major ups and majors downs constantly and seeing how they handle the downs and keep at it is really interesting. I guess their downs are more frequent and expected than the large majority of professions.

    I go through emotional ups and downs while building a big website of mine so I like to try and learn from their example. Some days, I get something great to work and I think I'll be rich. Other days, I want to quit because who the hell would want to use this stupid website.


    I usually watch one each morning with coffee. Takes like 20 minutes.

    No, none at the moment. Closest thing would be listening to some podcasts.

    This and they all think their celebs and full of self importance and have very thin skin if they get criticised and hop on the ‘bullying’ or ‘mental health’ bandwagon if you disagree with them.

    It can be very lucrative once they start selling out, particularly cosmetics and fashion.

    I watch a few gaming ones. It's handy for knowing what the latest tactics are. Plus some are funny.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    No, but I did come across professional soccer player and Ireland international David Meyler's youtube channel recently where he plays Fifa and does a vlog about going to training, coming back from training and playing Fifa. What a life.

    Assuming that is Doug Polk, he has been making content for the past year or so consistently .
    He was the top most feared heads up NL player for a while but I think a lot of people question that nowadays (doesn't really play high stakes games online anymore , does a lot of online content etc)

    But ya he is entertaining

    I watch him a little bit because while I don't play anymore, I like his analysis and the maths / GTO way of thinking about hands. I like to know what way my brother plays basically.

    The guy I'm on about is Andrew Neeme. A really normal and likable guy who makes an OK living from poker. He's the type of vlogger who'll go to a really nice bar in Vegas to show you what it it's like while he describes some hands, but doesn't stay for more than one or two drinks cause it's really expensive.

    Casey Neistat is really the only vlogger I watch on youtube.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,238 ✭✭✭Ardennes1944


    Casey Neistat, although he doesnt post much anymore. Gotten into Wild We Roam lately, cool vibe.

    Mostly watch tech reviewers like TechTablets or photography guys like Kai W, car stuff like Car Throttle and music stuff like Colors.

    i watch Rolf Nylinders videos about fly fishing for trout. He basically travels around with people he’s met fishing, drinking coffee and getting philosophical about the whole thing. Surprisingly entertaining stuff.

    It should count.

    I also enjoy Lazy Game Reviews,Nostalgia Nerd and Kim Justice (I'm noticing a theme here).
