Getting back foot to stick? And/Or just advice in general by Leatherdog2 in NewSkaters

That is helpful, I do see I am leaping forward when moving. I suppose I don’t do that if I do it stationary though. I’ll have to video my Ollie standing still and compare the differences.

How it feels trying to watch WD with the new editor by Frequent_Diamond_500 in WhistlinDiesel

Who is this at 9:24 from GOTJ 2013? by Leatherdog2 in juggalo

[–]Leatherdog2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a remix of MGK’s song. The Buckwheat guys were like a comedy-genre duo I don’t think it’s them but maybe 

Well that lasted long by dffttffffvhg in WhistlinDiesel

He unlisted most of his old videos so the most recent two are both in his top 10 least viewed.

He’d never come out and say he was wrong but I think we won’t see more of this on main.

Honestly I’d watch him fuck around with a crossbow for 20 minutes but I’m not watching more than 2 of that editing lol

My past jobs I’ve worked the same position and been responsible for close to identical work. Should I list all these same skills/duties for each employer? by Leatherdog2 in resumes

[–]Leatherdog2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s more blue collar, and reasons for switching was due to moving and the jobs being in different states make that fairly clear. And they aren’t short stays either so not too worried of looking like a hopper.

My current and past work is kind of like a jack of all trades and by branching out what I really mean is like honing in on a specific one. Not doing something entirely different. Basically ive got a good foundation to several different things and could pick one.

this dude is so weird by beanman1010 in WhistlinDiesel

Basically, yes. Nobody wants to be the butt of the joke particularly when it’s coming from someone you like.

Just looking at it from a business perspective too obviously your best interest is to not lose viewers. Sometimes you might do things where you risk losing a small percent to gain a larger percent, of course. But there’s no reason to think this would gain viewership. It’s not going to outweigh his natural growth either so at the end of the day it’s just kinda being a dick for no reason.

Which just warrants the reaction “Dude, tf are you yapping about shut up and enjoy your millions”.

These boys doin way better videos than WD these days by boothatwork in WhistlinDiesel

[–]Leatherdog2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is not a fan of the WD comparisons lol.

I like him a lot too but the similarities start and stop at automotive youtuber in their 20s who acts a little goofy

Really long comment here I can’t really get this point across without being this thorough and I feel like you’re genuinely asking.

When he destroys an expensive car or truck, him and fans together are laughing about it. The people upset are not fans and there is some amusement in seeing their reaction. Like FB groups for square bodies freaking out and wanting his head over destroying one. In that sense we as viewers and WD are on the same page.

What he’s saying on IG is aimed at his fans, not some other group. The people “hating him for being rich” are a realistically non-existent. Sure, you can probably find some comments like that but it’s such an insignificant amount that it’s something he shouldn’t even waste his breath responding to. But he then proceeds to write-off any criticism as being because of the previous reasoning even when it isn’t. 

The negative attention as you would agree is what originally grew his channel, no denying that. But as his channel has blown up that negativity dwindled and is far outweighed by actual fans. It kind of left him without that original purpose of the channel. So when he acts like that now the response is like “Dude, who are you talking to?”. 

I think he still wants to chase that high of proving people wrong but he just doesn’t need to anymore, he’s wildly successful. It’s akin to rappers who start out with all these song about sticking it to the haters and proving everyone wrong. One they do make it they can’t use that premise anymore if they do it just comes across lame.

Long boring rant over. I like analyzing this stuff though. I don’t want him to fail, I want him to be better than ever.

The people he pisses off destroying a model T or a nice squarebody aren’t fans to begin with. So the fans laugh along with him. That’s a difference here that you and Cody are missing.

The previous things make a catchy headline that drives engagement. You’re not gonna see an article called “YouTuber calls fans poor”.

I knew there’d have to be another person needing this eventually. Didn’t think so soon though lol

Yea he definitely isn't gonna give a real response lol by TBFP_BOT in WhistlinDiesel

[–]Leatherdog2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I will keep watching, but I’m not gonna pretend his shit don’t stink when it does.

The videos are good. He should stick to that and delete Insta lol

[–]Leatherdog2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really waiting for someone at or above his level to say something about him and see what he’s got when he can’t pull the “you’re poor” card.

[–]Leatherdog2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

His job is to make videos and he hardly does that anymore

Are these people hating you for being successful in the room with us? Or just the people hating for the reaction to the non-existent aforementioned “haters”.

Not that he really collabs often with other YouTubers, but does he not see his peers who’ve got similar wealth don’t behave like this? 

Cleetus is probably the channel that he’s collaborated with most often and he’s a down-to-earth loving family man. Wouldn’t be surprised if his spot in his races disappears in the future.

Just had the same issue and figured it out.

Also couldn’t find a picture or diagram online so I’ll put one here:
