They all plead poverty so that they get Superchats, Buy me a coffee, Patreon etcOnce a YouTuber get 1000 subscribers, they can monetise their channel. So he has probably been earning money for ages.
The ones who put out a 10 minute video once a week, which includes 4 minutes of sponsorship, are the worst - nothing but sponging freeloaders!They all plead poverty so that they get Superchats, Buy me a coffee, Patreon etc
You're spot on. I'm the OP of this thread and I actually used to enjoy watching his videos. Some of it was because he looks like my late husband, who wasn't a huge fan, declaring Gary to be 'boring and repetitive.'I used to like Gary and his videos and still do enjoy the odd couple, back when they were simple, light hearted, checking out some of the good food this country has to offer in both well known and hidden gem establishments (for those I could let the odd fast food chain slide as theyre not somewhere i go anymore so it can be interesting to see current trends). But the descent into rage bait slop is disgusting, manifesting into half the comments on that latest potential food poisoning curry takeaway being racist shit (at the time of writing this they hadn't been removed). The misleading titles and not to mention the stupid shocked or deep in thought thumbnails that've been out of trend for, in social content terms, an age. The pop up table also has to be one of the dumbest gimmicks I've seen in quite some time yet he and danny seem to think its the most original and hilarious bit in decades. It definitely feels like that group who seem to have gravitated together (though Harrison seems to have managed to be intelligent enough to steer clear of what i'll be generous and call bad content decisions) are feeding off eachother and using one anothers ideas in a race to the bottom.
And I know its clearly a winning formulae views wise for him but jesus christ is he going for the Guinness book of records achievement for most fish and chip shops reviewed?! How can you not be bored making the same thing over and over let alone being a viewer. Going back to my point of unoriginality with every single one apparently being either the best or worst in history if the titles are to be believed
Finally, as someone who actually works in the restaurant industry and not someone who as far as I think we've been informed didn't just grow up with parents who owned a pub? (feel free to correct me if more info has been given in a video I've missed) some parts are outright (I think intentionally) dishonest. Specifically when referring to things as 'not worth the money' or 'overpriced' etc (I grant you in some cases eg Salt Bae restaurant this is fair and true). I say intentionally dishonest because in some videos he acknowledges costs of rent, running, wages, quality of produce etc but in others its ignored entirely i presume to get the reaction of a lot of people who don't think about those things with the 'oh i could make that at home for half the money' mindsets. A recent example that comes to mind would be where he's reviewing i believe a hotel cafe that serves 'the most expensive pastries in the country' then comparing it to Greggs, without any consideration of location, atmosphere, the experience of a highly trained brigade of patissiers, the high quality ingredients vs takeaway, made by a machine, frozen, with the cheapest ingredients possible to keep margins high, Greggs. The industry especially now needs much better ambassadors, not people/wannabe influencers slagging it off.
Without too much stretch of the imagination in Garry's very formulaic shtick: 'has he got too big for his boots? I'll let you decide. Buh bye' *walks off muttering to myself into the distance while trying to dodge people and/or traffic*
I used to like him (ish) up until he gave the Chinese woman £500 on camera to look like a good Samaritan ( I've just said this on RMT thread, I didn't realise Gary had his own)I used to like Gary and his videos and still do enjoy the odd couple, back when they were simple, light hearted, checking out some of the good food this country has to offer in both well known and hidden gem establishments (for those I could let the odd fast food chain slide as theyre not somewhere i go anymore so it can be interesting to see current trends).

I do sometimes didnt like his video with Gary tonight though it was like some weird fever dreamOn another note does anyone watch Harrison Webb? I’ve created a thread for him
I've seen him on other vids and he seems entertaining. I've just started a thread for Barry Lewis who has replaced the Gary slot.On another note does anyone watch Harrison Webb? I’ve created a thread for him
he's done it before but not quite on that scale, the times i remember were the £1 meal steak food truck paying for 20 meals or something and making a donation to the RNLI who happened to have a pair collecting there. Not to mention a point of always tipping if there was no service charge etcI used to like him (ish) up until he gave the Chinese woman £500 on camera to look like a good Samaritan ( I've just said this on RMT thread, I didn't realise Gary had his own)
I watched a couple of his videos after seeing them all do the Fallow collaboration. Found him pretty inoffensive in all aspects. Is pretty influenceresque but feel that can be looked over if there arent other issuesOn another note does anyone watch Harrison Webb? I’ve created a thread for him
He is inoffensive but I automatically flinch at very obvious posh boys speaking as if they're from 'the hood' - his constant use of 'bruv' is a particular irritant. Some of his videos can be overly long, too - 20 minutes tops is more than enough but 40+ and I'm definitely not watching!I watched a couple of his videos after seeing them all do the Fallow collaboration.
