I think saying he makes mediocre content gives way too much credit. He licherally makes lame copies of what he's seen others do while simultaneously thinking he's an amazing creative genius that's changing the world.
Little things he does are infuriating and show how he's never had any real issues in life. Like how he actually screams and makes such a big deal of the landrover being too hot / cold (delete as applicable for the time of year) while he sits with the engine idling waiting for it to heat up / cool down.
Yes agree, he just never gets any better. Watching the new vlog all his ghastliness seemed clearer than ever. Heās ripping off Casey neistat when he started vlogging... but SO badly. Itās kind of more frustrating because he canāt even mimic talent convincingly, yet he has all this success. His mundane time lapses, the way heās tried to play about with the speed and sync music to it as Casey popularised in what 2016? Anyway it was just so poorly done, no heart, no skill, no innovation. (To confirm it Casey uploaded a really lovely video today. But more to the point he has developed through about a dozen editing styles since the one Alfie is trying to ineptly to copy.)
It also occurred to me how bland his personality is, though heās got so used to being watched itās given him a false sense of how interesting he is.
Not to mention the time change. Wow I needed a new paragraph for discussing how ludicrous he is with that stuff. Every time the clocks go back or he takes any trip to Europe and jumps an hour or two ahead he acts like heās just flown to Australia. Alfie itās in your head if it āfeels so much laterā than 8 o clock and no one really cares that thatās the time - because itās nine. An hour. It drives me crazy how he patronisingly explains to the audience, twice a year, exactly what mad thing has happened with time and why. And I mean really explains...
āItās currently like 8pm? now but it literally feels like 11pm because the clocks went back. So itās only 9pm. But itās actually 8pm.ā
We arenāt ready for this-sick-content, guys.
