Think you are spot on about Nasir. He has also made it very clear that he would never ditch medicine for youtube!

I'm probably misinterpreting you here/something lost in translation or different slang but are you talking banana as in an Asian person "acting white"?
Ah, sorry I literally translated it from my native lanaguage. In Polish a "banana person" is a person from rich background which has plenty of cash, acts badly, shows off, and thinks he/she deserves everything, plus treats people like a c...p.
I promise, going forward, I'll check if this kind of expressions exist in English
In that case, Ali meets that definition - his last video is also about cash.

Three of four videos now about exactly the same thing. Clickbaiting about money, get rich quick and easy doing these X amount of simple thing. Not only is the content boring now but the video style is also. Funny how he was talking about being upset that people on this forum thought he was snake oil salesman -like and now he's just unironically leaned into that so hard.
His comments also are just filled with crap now. If this is the audience he wants tho I guess fair enough Ali you do you mate.

yeah, it's repetitive. Hopefully he'll have a vlog or something about going back into medicine part time soonAh, sorry I literally translated it from my native lanaguage.

That simple 'yep' response says it all really. I wonder if he'd benefit from some time offline. It might cut down on a few income streams for a bit but could help him figure out some stuff re his purpose/goals moving forward?
He does these short replies on this friends videos too always commenting "Good stuff" on stuff Elizabeth or Sheen uploads. Not sure if it's supposed to be funny because everyone goes mad for it in the comments but if this is the way he speaks to his friends no reason why he' not having any success on all of his dating apps.
Honestly this devolution into money content is so weird because he's got so many avenues of video topics he could go down - study stuff, Tesla content, his journey to getting shredded (because he does look in shape), productive wardrobe tips etc.
I think this is it really. He's getting a lot of attention from viewers from his own ethnic and religious background who see him as rightfully a very aspirational figure. The people interested in his life in Britain and his medic content are clearly not his main priority any more as he has so many other sources of income. Medical students living in the UK are also highly unlikely to afford or buy any of his courses so that's why I think he has moved away from that content - the YouTube is simply a vector in order to move people onto his courses and I think the uptake from the former demographic will be far higher than his actual demographic.
He is still making decent numbers on his videos but there are some outliers and it does look like the views are stagnating rather than growing. 200k seems to be the ceiling which is around 10% of his subs watching.

Does anyone interact with YouTube comments the same way they would with a friend in real life or a romantic prospect tho? Completely agree on the other avenues he could go down, although maybe he thinks 'just hire a personal trainer guys' isn't enough for a video, because that's basically what he's done to get into shape.
I mean if I had just spent hours pouring my time and effort into making a vlog or video and posted it on YouTuber, and then all I got from a good friend and work colleague was "Good job" I would be even sceptical if they even bothered to watch the video. A few more words could go a long way.
He spoke about it in an interview with Paul Millerd.
Anybody watched Elizabeth Filips' latest video about Ali? I must say - it was entertaining for me.
I don't wanna come off as insensitive but he once stated that he never faced any discrimination for his skin colour or religious background. He also said (i think?) that at times, he passed off as a white person for his fair skin (or whatever - sorry it was an old video and i can't paraphrase properly). As a minority, I would not be able to relate to him. A role model for me would be someone I can relate to for a bit and who gives me hope to achieve the things I desire despite the lack of privilege.
Edit: just wanna be clear - that does not change that he is a part of minority in the UK. I am not erasing his ethnic/religious background in this case. Just saying that he never face any discrimination for it (his words).

At least the people he is close with have the same thoughts on some of the stuff he does as this thread
This guy is the most unfunny cringe youtuber I've come across in my life. It's mind boggling that he managed to get 1.8 million subs. His comment sections are a swamp of indians frothing at the mouth, scam accounts and "first" spam. Almost zero real engagement and intellectual discussions. No matter how low quality and uninteresting his content is, he still gets 95-98% likes. Feels like people watching don't actually give a tit about how bad his videos are, they're just happy to see one of their own "make it".
Ecommerce ads people usually target India for engagement then switch the demographics to countries that actually have money and can purchase their crap. His entire channel seems like one big ad that just got indians riled up then switched over to peddle garbage to viewers that have money. That youtube course of his is just spitting out clones of himself that copy his everything then go off on twitter creating praise threads about how much they've learned and doing his advertising for him. Great ponzi scheme, wonder if they're getting a cut.
As for his "team", it honestly seems like he just keeps surrounding himself with yes men just to feel like a CEO of something. There are much bigger channels that handle content creation with 2-3 people, meanwhile he just keeps stacking more and more orbiters around him, along with the ridiculous coaches for "freestyle rap" and "magic" and more idiotic hobbies, after which he has the nerve to claim that his time is worth hundreds of pounds an hour. HAHA WHAT. Unreal. He doesn't even know how to cook himself a piece of chicken but he hires coaches to teach him freestyle rap. I don't even...
Also it's pretty obvious that he slept with his so-called executive assistant as suddenly she's sponsored by the same companies that deal with the agency he claimed to have purchased into. Not to mention the non-stop promotion of her videos and the fact she keeps making videos about him to leech his audience. The same assistant that's sorting his ridiculous wife emails. The girl must have zero self-esteem. Pathetic. Especially because at no point did he admit he was involved with someone. So he's banging Elizabeth but not even acknowledging her presence publicly. Bonkers. Although you'd have to be kind of a dimwit to see Ali as boyfriend/husband material so maybe she had it coming to her.
I tried to show his channel to some of my friends that are real people and not rabid indian fans just to get a second opinion and they were all going "what the duck, this guy is a loser". Seems like flexing your Apple toys and how much money you make constantly doesn't take away from the fact that you're a dweeb Ali. I know you're reading this thread. You could be making 10 million a year, you'd still be the same dweeb. You think you're putting out value because your braindead fans keep clicking Like now matter how bad your content is but take it from someone who's been around - your content is absolute trash. Constant showing off and recycled boring millionaire mindset garbage that all the scammers talk about on instagram and twitter. Get a grip on reality.

He's renaming the poorly performing videos now to try and get mentions of money in them as apparently now that is all that's important.
Yet another example of how unrelatable this clown is becoming. That video has almost nothing to do with money but because fewer people gave a tit about his recycled lessons, he's making it about money just to get clicks. Holy tit I can't, how do people even like this guy.
To be honest he has probably read some marketing book that's changed his life or something and the technique is to show off how much money you are marking to get your audience interested / jealous and then start shilling for the products you are selling.
All of his "passive income" videos are ridiculous anyway and do not work unless you are a YouTuber. And he has a course on how to become a YouTuber so essentially all of his videos are designed to show off his wealth and then send you to buy one of his courses.
I'd wager he's trying to take advantage of the higher CPM that finance-related videos have. He's constantly mentioning Graham Stephan and trying to enter that niche only the difference is Graham has charisma and is well versed in matters of finance, while Ali just keeps regurgitating the same "learn to code" crap and "sell a course" bull over and over.
He just seems to be unaware of the fact that his validation stems from the sheer number of Indian/Pakistani viewers that will gobble up his tit without even blinking, and not from the validity of his advice.
He has 50 zoom calls back to back with "coaches" that are fleecing him for moronic hobbies, nobody got time for watching a show and doing human things. /s
