Proving his point by asking, but, what is this about?

I love TheSmokingTire but give me a break! Sweeping blanket statements never helped anybody however big you are on Youtube for example. You mean to say I took the time to create a Youtube account, understand the subject, watch your video and spent the time to type a comment that might lead to some discussion means I am part of the shittiest fringes of society?

I am not talking about “LOL YOU SUCK! CAN’T DRIVE FOR SHIT BRO” comments.

If I had to deal with YouTube commenters for years on end, I’d be this bitter too. YT comments really are just the worst.

“LOL YOU SUCK! CAN’T DRIVE FOR SHIT BRO”

That’s who he’s talking about not the thoughtful shit. You’re personalizing his comment and excusing the very group he’s talking about. C’mon man.

The other group are nobodies who say how he should do it but don’t have the wherewithal or stamina to attempt it themselves. If they can’t realize their own limitations, they shouldn’t be commenting on his accomplishments.

I really can’t stand Matt. Or Alex Roy. Or Tavarish.

I find all three of them to be pretty irritating

He’s really getting to be a bitter old man. I hope his watch and automotive podcast future treats him well.

RIP One Takes.

Commenters are the stupidest fraction of a single percent of your viewers .

Is this the royal “you”, referring to Matt’s own commenters as well? Or is he talking shit about Tavarish’s commenting viewers, specifically?

Takuro Spirit > TeamClearCoat

Everyone knows you don’t read the comments.

Funny that both of these dopes owe their meal ticket to YT commenter types who lap up their “work”.

Takuro Spirit > CarsofFortLangley - Oppo Forever

I’ll agree with you on Roy. Matt has his good moments but tends to shit on his fanbase quite a bit.

04/05/2018 at 14:40

I think someone is probably just trolling him. But, YT comments so who knows

Matt has pretty much retired from youtube. He announced it on the podcast today. Personally IDGAF, just looking forward to Zach resuming the one takes. He’s a very humble, chilled out guy.

It’s a conundrum. On the one hand, you build your brand by interacting with your audience. On the other, then you end up paying attention to morons. I guess you need a thick skin.

Takuro Spirit > Urambo Tauro
04/05/2018 at 14:41

I’m going with both. To say ALL commenters are stupid though? I’ve seen some pretty smart and helpful comments in both of their videos...

Takuro Spirit > Noah - Now with more boost.
04/05/2018 at 14:43

Oh, the podcast that no one watches? If I had a hour or more to sit there and listen to him talk to someone in the automotive biz I’ve never heard of I still wouldn’t watch or listen to it.... and I’m not a watch lover so I’m not at all interested in THAT podcast.

I’ll miss the true one takes.

I can’t get behind Zach, he’s TOO chill and too monotone. Not interesting to watch.

04/05/2018 at 14:45

I hope what you’re saying is true but I have seen some of his personal responses to criticism in YT comments and sometimes he comes across as grumpy old grandpa and so this statement felt it was not that shocking.

I’m not going to stop watching or commenting, just saying...

gettingoldercarguy > Takuro Spirit
04/05/2018 at 14:46

I think it’s a tough job not internalizing their jealousy projected in a form of criticism.

The automotive YT space is pretty sad right now man, I take whatever I can get! Teenagers vlogging their parents cars, pretentious BS from Petrolicious, rich British supercar guys... yikes. Also I am very much into watches and doing nothing but studying for the LSAT for the next couple months. That and getting my stupid rice rocket on the road.

You need to subscribe to Bozzy. He puts up great track footage of cars we can’t even dream of affording and just awesome cars in general.

Right, but the LOL YOU SUCK! CAN’T DRIVE FOR SHIT BRO are 99.9% of them, so you, the rational commenter, are a fraction of a single percent of a fraction of a single percent.

BeaterGT > Takuro Spirit
04/05/2018 at 14:52

Tavarish has backtracked on this very Lambo build because of some of those helpful Youtube comments. I believe he really likes the community feel of it but gets brought down by the imbeciles.

gettingoldercarguy > KingT- 60% of the time, it works every time
04/05/2018 at 14:52

Yeah, I don’t think his skin is as think as some others and responding to that stuff usually just makes it worse. The best thing to do is to find out where they work and criticize everything they do. :-P

Dope recommendation. Subbed. I had even seen enough of his videos by happenstance that I knew to type in 1992 haha

Urambo Tauro > Takuro Spirit
04/05/2018 at 14:54

I very rarely read YouTube comments. There are too many, and I can’t make heads or tails out of the sorting system anyway (except for the “pinned” comments. I wish Kinja had that feature).

The “stupidity” part is definitely an over-generalization, and doesn’t apply to all commenters. I just can’t tell if he’s taking a extra shot at “people who watch Tavarish videos”. Probably not, but it could be interpreted that way.

BeaterGT > Noah - Now with more boost.
04/05/2018 at 14:55

Hah yeah, I always forget the numbers. I like that he gets a lot of Monza footage with Ferrari clientele. I could watch 599XX’s go around all day.

But some of Tavarish’s viewers have comments on his videos and gave him help and tips and notified him when things were wrong that he himself did not notice.

In fact, a LOT of Tavarish’s comments are good natured. Much so than on other YouTube channels.

As much as he is right, you can’t shit all over your commenters and by extension your viewers. They drive your revenue. You have to pander to the audience.

Thats a lot of the problem with ‘entertainers’ on YouTube. They think that they’re owed something, and do not realize when they spout off, they may be aleinating the people that got them to where they are.

Matt’s done nothing but bitch and moan about the YouTuber lifestyle lately, and I get it. Its a sinking ship. But instead of crying and assaulting his viewers, maybe he should give them what they want or go do what he wants.... not both.

I think it was Tyler Hoover that has the watch sponsor.

Takuro Spirit > BeaterGT
04/05/2018 at 15:02

I don’t think he’s getting brought down by them, and only lashed out on Twitter as a joke. Matt tends to take the Anti-YouTube train too seriously though, and made a very broad generalization that is not quite true of Freddy’s channel.

Future next gen S2000 owner > Takuro Spirit
04/05/2018 at 15:06

I think it sets in that it isn’t taking them were they wanted to go and doing a successful channel is hard, and really time consuming. I gotta believe that most auto youtubers think they will end up on Top Gear and that isn’t the case.

Takuro Spirit > McMike
04/05/2018 at 15:08

If Hoovie turns HIS channel into a watch podcast, well I wish him and his firey deathtrap 355 all the best.

It sounds like both parties are crying and assaulting their respective audience. Nothing like an amicable divorce.

gettingoldercarguy > Takuro Spirit
04/05/2018 at 15:18

Another hot take, how about if all commenters had to follow the “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all.” rule? There’d be like what, five comments per YouTube video?

They should be in it for the fun, and for sharing their passion. To be in YouTube for the money or the glory, well..... don’t quit your day job.

Depends on the channel. DeMuro would still get lots of comments, but they’d all be nice versions of “Doug’s The Type Of Guy....”

A man after my own heart. I will have to check out MotoAutoTV and Colwarmotors. Hoonigan and MCMTV2 are fantastic. Moog’s music on the main channel drives me nuts though haha. At least use a different track sometimes!

Sinking Ship reminded me of something. Why doesn’t he do One Wakes anymore? I know jackshit about boats but I found them very interesting. Especially the one where he had a sailing 101 and boat tour on his vacation in Thailand or somewhere

I too liked the One Wakes. Some of those boats.... MAH GURRD.

Makes me miss the days of skirting around the lakes in Northern Wisconsin on a 70's bass boat with a 150 Evinrude outboard.

I think the problem is, in order to create consistent, high quality youtube videos, it has to become your day job. You have to be in it to make the money if you want to make good videos with any regularity. If people weren’t willing to take the leap we be stuck with my cat did this or something random happened without all the quality content on youtube.

If you look at the view counts on the One Wakes, I don’t think they even covered his travel to the locations to shoot the boats. More of something he enjoyed then the money, so you have to start weighing if it’s worth it or not.

I for one loved them, and agree the sailing 101 he did was amazing.
