[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 1038602, member: 58362"] I sort of hate myself for watching these. Like you say, he's very likeable, but his schtick gets very repetitive, very quickly - friendly banter with staff, self deprecating fat jokes, saying how amazing the food is and general cheeky chappyness. But I'll put one on because it has been suggested to me and find another couple have auto-played next before I bother to pick up the remote and put something else on. It's also a covid curtain twitcher trigger, although I'm not quite sad enough to figure out what rules were in place at the time the video was filmed. I wish he'd sort the sound in his videos out too. Another of my guilty pleasures is Beard vs Food. Again, very samey, but slightly more justifiable based on my weird fixation with how a little dude can put so much food away and his personality. I assume that's why one of these videos was suggested to me, but I hadn't realised what a recent phenomenon it is. It looks like that Grandma (50yo, which I assume makes her a late starter in Bolton) video really sent him viral. He's gone from nothing to 180k subs in around a month. Social Blade has him down as earning anywhere between £2k and £32k a month at the moment. Given that wide a range, presumably they're always right in their estimate, but does anyone know where on the scale a channel like this would land? Even if it's the lower, it's not a bad hobby. Apparently Danny (Rate My Takeaway) lost the mother of his children to a heart attack recently. It makes his happy go lucky outlook all the more impressive, although a little bit ironic that we see him eating large portions of unhealthy food. Either way, he comes across as a genuinely friendly, personable, positive bloke with no edge to him, so I wish him the best with his new found fame. At the moment, his subscribers are climbing like positive covid tests at Christmas, but I'd have thought it's got to level out pretty soon. I'd have thought that his appeal is going to be limited to this country and he doesn't strike me as someone who would invest in the channel or make changes to increase his subscriber base. [/QUOTE]
