Steve Marsh

[RedheadWrites]

I used to watch when it was just Steve but they've gone the way of many others and introduced a partner. I watched because I was interested in a person travelling on their own. That usp has now changed and I felt really uncomfortable with the amount of times he called her 'honey' or similar in the last video or a how many times she was saying that she was going to have a shower.

The amount of people sending him money in the comments is wild! Yes he got his phone stolen but I am sure the views on the video will pay for a replacement, plus the costs of his trip. Find it bizarre with his line of work that he did not pay for Cloud storage

Is it just me or do you not find Alicja a bit strange? she comes across as a nicey nice girl but theres quite a few things that stand out about her. The fact she's with a man almost twice her age, the fact she refuses to use toilets on public transport and chooses to refrain from drinking on trips to avoid using the toilet (that's seriously weird), and it comes across that she's maybe got an eating disorder cos Steve feels the need to praise her for eating half of a fish supper

Is the beds thing a pattern? I’ve never noticed until the QE2 videos and thought it was odd but didn’t know Steve had a thread here at the time. The most recent couple of videos they seem totally over it and didn’t want to do anything in which case why suffer through it? Just don’t make a video that day. Nobody has a gun to their head. It’s not great watching people make a video that they are clearly hating making. It’s a really long sweaty and tiring route they’re doing, if it wasn’t all just about cash and they cared about the experience they’d accept some days they wouldn’t make a video. It’s only when the cash cow needs a regular milking that you’d need to force it.

I enjoyed the latest vlog. Seemed a lovely place to spend a few days.

Newbie here, but I've been watching Steve for some time. I enjoy his trips, even made a couple of trips myself only after watching his vlogs, I went on the ferry to Shetland and had a holiday there. Also after seeing him do it, I also went to Netherlands from Newcastle on the ferry trip.

 

[Sneachta_1987]

Yes I totally agree. But stay in the thread you can still chat without watching his vlogs properly. I just skip through them.

It's just a shame as I did actually generally like watching the majority of their videos. This has tarnished it completely for me now.

 

[Telly Fanatic]

This is a place to talk about Steve. Good or bad comments.

I enjoy his pub crawl ones. Edinburgh and Dundee

I don't know why we're splitting hairs to this degree. The reason I got into his channel is because of his short trips within Europe that are *relatively* modestly priced and haven't been labored over with rigorous planning and are pretty improvisational. He has put out a mountain of videos of this nature and it sets him apart from a lot of other content on YT. The long haul trips he's done are basically bonus content to me.

 

[PJones]

I haven't watched him recently as I don't like the way the vlogs are going. Really liked him on his own

 

[hssdrs]

Same, just come across his channel and thought it was nice how it was a dad and daughter travel channel- not just the age gap, but they look so similar! Really shocked she’s his girlfriend. How old is he?

Really shocked ????? why it doesn't affect you.
The title of the channel is "Steve Marsh " he does most as a solo youtuber.
Alicja has a full time job.

How beautiful was that mountain lake.

Absolutely stunning. I never realised how beautiful Poland is.

 

[Judes1974]

Has anyone else thought that this set of vlogs has been boring? So much they could have shown, instead we saw them wondering about aimlessly.

 

[Bibbybeave]

Hahaa no wonder he said his relationship status was 'complicated'

Aww I find this a wee bit unfair. Blair or his mum shouldn’t be mocked. I agree with some of this thread but this isn’t fair

 

[pinkmug]

It's bizarre, isn't it? I subscribe (with ad-block enabled...) to Steve for the low-fi, budget friendly travel content and didn't even know he had a thread until 20 minutes ago. When I saw how it had gone crazy with posts I honestly wondered if I should put the news on as he'd hijacked a North sea ferry and declared Foula a Democratic Republic or something. Instead it's a pair of weirdos being weird. Must be tall poppy syndrome "Jings, there's no M&S in Montrose!"

Now I'm going to use this thread to experiment with the ignore button for the first time

Yeah, when someone posts over 80 consecutive messages on one thread in a short time, I find that a bit concerning Nobody cares that much, surely. Ignore button is a gem indeed.

Edit: On a second thought, why is this guy's thread even in Families section? Doesn't he do just travel vlogs? Maybe I missed his hidden wife and ten homeschooled kids in between the travel content.

Lots of YouTubers don't have the begging bowl out for patreons. Dale Philips. Bald and Bankrupt. The Macmaster, a few I know of.

1) Two out of three of those people have 10x the subscriber count Steve does. Obviously they make a shit ton more than someone like Steve from YT views alone. I don't think creators with smaller followings need to "pay their dues" and for some bizarre reason spend years earning very little from their efforts with the hope of one day accumulating a massive following and living off Ad Sense alone, do you? Why?

2) This Macmaster person has a donation link and a shitty low effort merch store.

I don't know if he or Dale do sponsorships, I do not watch them. If they do, then that negates this entire conversation. I don't believe B&B does but I could be wrong, I don't watch him regularly.

3) And? What again is the problem with providing your supporters the option to subsidize your content? This isn't some hard sell where the bucket is being passed around the church and the struggling parish guilt tripped to donate. It's "if you like what I make and want to see more, feel free to join my Patreon".

I will also just add as a side note that Steve, like or dislike his content, is not grifting. He does not make trending, exploitative bullshit content. And that counts for something.

 

[Cold&Bitter]

Hard to fathom traveling all the way to Honningsvåg, but not going another 45 minutes up the road to Nordkapp.

Yes, it’s touristy. So what?
No, it’s not the most northernmost spot, only the most northernmost spot reachable by car, but the actual point is right there in plain sight. (Can even hike to it, if you have four hours to spare each way.)

 

[Cold&Bitter]

Surely everyone backs up their phones these days, it's usually automatic

Maybe he couldn’t afford the $2.99 (or Scottish equivalent) a month for extra space.

I quite liked last night’s video. It was classic Steve in a number of ways, a bit of moaning and everything going wrong but nothing too annoying. It did seem to be over very quickly, it was more ‘here’s a few bits from our holiday’ than a proper holiday review. The first thing I said to my partner was I wouldn’t sit there on the plane you’ll have bums in your face all flight and that did end up being the case. That’s what you get for cheaping out. The worst room in the hotel and the worst seats on the plane. You’d think he’d fork out the £11.50 per head to choose your seats instead of two aisle seats not even together. I wouldn’t have been happy with the hotel or Jet2 putting me in an unmade room with an active leak in the roof and then washing their hands of it. They customer service was shit.

Are the seat in the front row nit usually quite expensive? They did say in fairness it was all very last minute and when she went to book seats, all the window seats were booked out.

 

[serendipitous_daydreams]

I quite liked the scenery of Perthshire and Angus he has showcased in his videos, and his latest video in which he compared the Polish city they ended up in to Dundee!

Thought this post from the Ordinary Adventures thread would be a good talking point here. I have watched them for years and I remember being a bit annoyed at Peter posting Kitra’s injury on their cruise all over social media.

A Tattler poster compared this to what Steve did when Alicja had an accident hiking. I replied to the poster as I didn’t think anyone on here watched him.

I then later discovered that this thread had been resurrected!

Ordinary Adventures Kitra seems okay, but Peter is creepy

She does look like a different person. You can tell this is an old photo… his glasses aren’t blindingly fluorescent green yet, and years of shoveling junk food into their faces hadn’t fully transformed them into the bloated mess they are now. #ThemeParkVloggerLife
