I think at this points Ali's videos must just be wannabe entrepreneurs and YouTubers. He's become an influencer in that space only and his content is geared towards that and it's only going to get that way further over time. Look at the comments nowadays and it's just other YouTubers circle jerking and trying to get noticed by him or people from countries like India and Pakistan who see him as very aspirational. The "normal" people who were commenting on his videos 18 months ago have all left, because guess what we don't want to build 9 income streams we've got jobs to work and degrees to study for.
Can't help but think he's just incredibly jealous of his brother and wants to go down that route.
When he had more study-related stuff, many could relate to it. Even I, after graduation related to it, because I was doing some additional education. I am 30 y.o. - I can't understand his content and the way it goes. He looks like a banana-guy from rich family, who doesn't know what to do in life and his biggest problem is that his M1 iMac has 7, instead of 8 GPU cores.
Tbh I hope people like KharmaMedic keep on the medical student train. I was interested to see Ali's journey from student to fully trained doctor so it's a shame that journey has now ended.
Man is having an identity crisis. He wants to be Matt Da'valla, his brother Taimur, MKBHD, Ed Sheeran and a productivity guru and entrepreneur all in one. His Instagram and Twitter feeds are
weird messes. He's changed what he wants to do with his life completely about 3 times in the past year. Sort it out mate.
Nah I've completely stopped watching him. Definitely poor engagement numbers.
I'm a few years older than him and just cannot fathom his approach to life. Not even to hate watch.
I think those who still find Ali admirable may also be quite young and still undergrads? Just an impression I get.
I'm a couple of years older than him too and definitely far less well off (and less intelligent, but think I've got my head screwed on better...) but not jealous in the slightest (apart from the fact he's on the property ladder). His life seems boring and sad to me despite his calendar being full up.
You see people like him throughout school and uni but they seem to drop off as you enter working life, either they learn to cope or idk get deep in academia or something. I can see Ali being very aspirational to people across the world from a similar ethnic and religious background, and also to some students in the UK, but not anything like a majority of the UK student population. I suspect many of his viewers are now international in the USA and other parts of the world.
