That's Ali's PA btw. Makes sense that the video and mannerisms are inspired.
anyone seen this?

Exactly my point. I am all about productivity and I like practices like listening at 2x speed too but what ticked me off when he posted something about watching anime at faster speed and then I was like, "What??"Oh he needs to bore off I can't believe people watch, and in some cases, idolise, this bullshit.
I am all about being productive but can't we enjoy hobbies simply as they are anymore? Can't I just read a book without it being something profound and life-changing? Sing for the sake of it making me feel good?
I feel like I'm going to go on a rant so I'll leave it there
For me, he’s completely just forgot how to enjoy things, it’s like it’s for him to tick it off! It’s like he just can’t do anything without being productive or claiming it’s productive which doesn’t help at all because where’s the down time from work? And being in a work like mind frame?Exactly my point.

Tbf - the base salary for an NQ lawyer at the magic circle law firms is over 100K. Chances are that Cambridge grads would be going to these types of law firms so I would say his figures there would be relatively accurate.Watched a bit of his video about how much he earns and the part where he mentions grad salaries of his peers definitely seems exaggerated - he says that those who did law or economics almost instantly started making 6 figures whereas medicine takes longer. Whilst it's true that medicine generally takes longer to build up income, I remember seeing data about the average UCL grad salaries (believe it was from the ONS or IFS but don't have it to hand, if anyone knows what I'm talking about feel free to link) which gave the average salaries after leaving (I think it was 1 year after?) where the range was roughly £18k to £30k, with medicine at the top followed by economics (£29k), don't remember law but it's probably not representative given that a lot of lawyers take a humanities subject and then a GDip. Law would take longer as an LLB doesn't qualify you to be a lawyer without a training contract (which often have ridiculous competition ratios), and it would probably be a couple of years until you made 6 figures anyway with either of those degrees in almost any job (even in investment banking I think it takes 2-3 years and that's a highly competitive area which very few grads can actually go into). The idea that even a significant proportion of a cohort of econ/law grads make 6 figures *almost instantly*, even from a top uni, is misleading.
I think one problem with medtube in general is how money is talked about: it's either seen as the sole focus of pursuing medicine or denied as being a factor at all (I'm hoping to pursue GEM and even the salary for F1/F2 doctors, which I've heard used as a reason why you shouldn't go into medicine for the money, is a far cry from my household income growing up)
not tsoony! he's a great med youtuber. kind of like the eve cornwell of med.Most of these Medtubers/Productivity Youtuber's come across as if they don't have a life outside doing work
Something is off about him, I can’t put my finger on it, his videos are well produced and he’s honest but there’s something that just I can’t work out about himnot tsoony! he's a great med youtuber. kind of like the eve cornwell of med.
I love soony but I just wonder if he’s like... ok? As in I just can’t tell if medicine is really what he wants to do. I know we only see snippets but he just seems to be coasting through. I know he wants to specialise in dermatology and I think that’s a good fit for him. He doesn’t strike me as being an A&E emergency med type. Tbh I think a lot of it may be down to confidence as I know he struggles a lot with imposter syndrome.Something is off about him, I can’t put my finger on it, his videos are well produced and he’s honest but there’s something that just I can’t work out about him
Yeah, apparently he's responded/reacted to some comments from on here on his podcast with his brother? Might have to give it a listen...He mentioned this thread in his valentines vid
Let us know if he’s honest about some of it, might have a bit more respect for him if that’s the caseYeah, apparently he's responded/reacted to some comments from on here on his podcast with his brother? Might have to give it a listen...
For anyone who doesn't wanna listen to the whole podcast, the comments thing starts around 56:00 minutes. Btw, his brother tried to call him out about sugarcoating his feelings about these comments but he constantly saying he is indifferent to them and does not feel bad. The way he was grappling for words (since he is usually more eloquent than this), though, I think it affected him even for a bit but he was trying not to show that, at least publicly.Yeah, apparently he's responded/reacted to some comments from on here on his podcast with his brother?

Everything in his life has to be productive?! How is that healthy or unproblematic? He's doing exactly the same as other influencers by promoting something that is so unobtainable. Sometimes its OKAY not to do anything and simply enjoy life's small pleasures like having a piss without taking your iPad with you in the guise of being 'productive'. Wtf is a productive valentines day?I cant believe there is a thread about him. He is so unproblematic and actually using his channel for some good. Even if you watch it, and pick one useful tip from a video it is 1000 times better than 90% of influencers out there, constantly shoving products down your throat, lying about ads etc
