To think there was a time I was about to drop 1000ish on equipment to start a Youtube Channel.

Very believable.



In the old YouTube days, the main British Youtube 'Agency' (I don't know what you called it) published a really good quality documentary, weekly if I recall about proper lighting and framing for a 'chat show' type format, : how to correctly illuminate the subject's face, and complimentary colours -

if you wanted to go out and buy recommended kit and furniture, it did'nt cost the earth either, particularly the lights.


Today though, YouTube creator channel wants you to have manic levels of POSTIVITY and why, you'll find lot of friends on YouTube more than willing to help (not my experience) and so on and so forth...

I waffle on about a variety of topics.

I already have that URL too ingrained in my memory for the shock to be effective anymore

Their moderation has gone mad since the ad revenue started to pile in. Literally if it doesn't fit the narrative or any indication of copyright and you're flagged.

My Youtube account got terminated on grounds of "Hate Speech" for saying I didn't agree with the actions of BLM, particularly the Riots...

Got a copy/paste response on appeal from 'support' that definitely didn't bother to read my comments... but being flagged by the automated overzealous algorithm was enough for termination... :rolleyes:

Can someone tell me if I'm correct, is Manic Moran the Chieftain?

There was an Irish lad who had a gaming channel called 'How to annoy people with Kevin'. It was pretty funny, he would do stuff like join multiplayer games and shoot his teammates. I think he's still on youtube under a different name but focuses more on playing games than winding up other players now.

I just happened on his show last week and watched/listened to a number of episodes. I have been tuning into a lot of crime interrogations and trials recently. It seems like they are getting weirder and hard to believe. It is incredible the lengths some will go to in committing capital crimes.

Money for old rope... Fair play to jacksepticeye millions would love to be in his shoes.

I think the success of YouTube just comes down to having personality. Johnny Carson once said as long as you come off well you'll do great. Saying and doing are two completely different things tho

Stavros969 does weekly videos on Trucks and Classic Cars. Worth a look if you are into that.

Not really the point of the thread.. BUT a TIP for anybody following the thread who wants to grow their youtube channel:

If you're concerned that a troll has subscribed to your YouTube channel like happened to me, I suggest a 2 stage test:
Check out their own YouTube channel. If it has NO VIDEOS AND IS A BARE PROFILE. If it it is a channels with videos and wallpaper not to your taste then BLOCK THEM as follows:

Click on the FLAG icon on their 'about' page. Choose Block from the dropdown menu.

Anyone looking for a quick laugh, pretty chilled out videos I recommend CallMeKevin, he's from Cork. Very funny.

Has to be call me Kevin, he’s hilarious, and still winding up people on online games and playing other games ‘incorrectly’ with hilarious, and often sadistic, results

Tony Cantwell, the Fresh Prince of Hilar, has some good “content” on YouTube. He’s, currently, doing a podcast on the Great British Bake Off, it’s very good.

Yea, the three lads from the OSW review show, reviewing/commenting on old skool WWF PPV's, they started with Wrestlemania 1 from 1985 & the last review they did was Survivor Series 1994, they also do bonus reviews of crap movies, like Fatal Deviation, The Happening & The Marine 6, to just a few.
If you like cheesy oldskool wrestling this is a great channel.

Yep, that's the same guy. I don't know how he manages to straddle the right line with it, a lot of people would come off terribly if they did the same things but with him he's just funny.

I looked over some of his older vids, 3 - 4 years old. He looks super young compared to how he looks now. I know it's the beard but looks like hes ages at least a decade.

Foil, Arms & Hog have loads of very funny sketches.

Yes,, some of his oldest are 6 or 7 years old, he was 14 in some of the early ones.

He was even too young to get an adsense account, so for the first year his vids were not monetised, so I used and old adsense account I had but was not using at the time. I also had an amazon affiliate account from when I built my own websites.

By his second year on youtube and with good viewing numbers by then, Most months he was earning €120 from youtube and another €40 or so from amazon.

It was not too bad for a 15 or 16 year old lad,, and his mum and I were happy that he spent most of his spare time up in his room making vids, and not running around on the streets with other teenagers.

But, now he comes home from college, and takes over our kitchen, brewing beer..
