I know this is a bit late, but I wanted to ask anyway. If I was to buy one of the rifles, how much of my $1700 dollars would go to Karl? I like the idea of the rifle and I’m sure it’s probably really good, I just don’t really want to be giving Karl a substantial amount of my money if I’m going to be completely honest.
I used to like Demo Ranch back when the guy was grounded. The bullets in microwave videos were funny. However, it seems to me that he shifted his videos towards vlogs and silliness. Seems to me that it’s geared towards children and people who can’t own guns. I have long called him “The McJuggerNuggets of guns.” for that reason
That right there is the core of the issue I think.
I just call him the PewDiePie of guns instead. People tend to get it when you phrase it like that.
I think he has to share that title with Brandon Herrera.
Brandon has got the meme review, sure. But he's more dudebro and less "family friendly" than Matt. Plus he sometimes digs into slightly more technical stuff, while Matt tends to be pretty firmly planted in the zany "ISN'T THIS COOL?!" side of gun culture.
That's an incredibly concise description!
I didn't even know about his channel until fairly recently, but the whole "let's shoot this thing with progressively larger guns" schtick got old real fast. I don't get the appeal at all, aside from him seeming like a nice enough guy.
They're different people?
His Vetranch channel is way more interesting, but he shows actual veterinary procedures on there so if you don't like watching animal surgeries it won't be for you.
I know a couple of people who have interacted with Matt in the past (one for business reasons, the other in one of his events), and they tell me he seems like a really nice guy in real life as well. His videos don't do anything for me, but he does sound like he's got his head screwed on straight for the most part. That he's got a seemingly happy marriage and a couple kids to his name is a very rare thing among successful youtubers.
That's not his channel anymore, unfortunately. I think he stopped working as a vet so he passed it along to the rest of the crew who featured in it. The doctor running the show now (Kari? Kerry?) is pretty good, though.
It's a good thing I waited until now to purchase a med-kit, apparently North American Rescue is having a Halloween sale of sorts.
Oh boy you'll hate Edwin Sarkissian. He did the "how many X to stop rounds" with stuff from PUBG like frying pans and replicas of the Altyn helmet.
I think I've mentioned it before but at least for me, the point about watching Karl is that if you have nothing to do and you're eating something or you need background noise, he's usually the best channel for that. Sure his content can get repetitive, but he's charismatic enough to make it entertaining. If he was edgier and didn't worry about monetization I'd enjoy his stuff more though.
Yet even with content that's long been in his wheelhouse, the lack of enthusiasm & interest is palpable:
Ah for fucks sake. I had a feeling I botched something up. I meant to say Brandon. I don't like Karl.
