Snowflake shoe0nhead / June Lapine / June La Porta & Armoured Skeptic / Gregory "Greg" Fluhrer - A poor man's Boxxy: rejected by Vaush, disowned by /pol/ for burning coal, sleeps in a dog's bed surrounded by trash, and her ex-boyfriend.

[The Beer Padawan]

Word of advice:

Youtube is a hobby.

If you get a bunch of people interested enough to watch thats great, if you are able to make it profitable then thats wonderful.....

....but its still a fucking hobby

Tying your future prospects and aspie-rations to "making it big" on youtube is as fucking retarded as betting everything on your fucking mcdonalds happy meal toy collection.

A normie 9-5 job will offer far more pay, far more potential for advancement, and far more satisfaction even if its in fucking sewage works than endlessly and miserably pissing into the youtube void hoping to go viral and then hoping this viralness translates to actual profit.

Just do it for your own enjoyment, and if you no longer enjoy it then fucking stop and find something better to do.

What you fail to understand is that every single youtuber who does it as a full time "career" is a lazy degenerate who wouldn't survive being employed in anything.

 

[The Fuck's Going On Here]

Honestly, I kinda feel half the reason Greg's feeling like this is he doesn't have family or close friends who'd go "Well, shit...that's crazy, man. Here's a beer; I'll go and check if there's a job I can fit you in tomorrow."
Honestly, if the guy had more RL stuff happening, I doubt he'd focus so much on a YT account that he doesn't even post much in.
Well, time for him to step into actual sunlight and touch grass; though tbf, he's canadian. For him, RL is probably shittier than the internet. Unlike Canada, you can at least say 'nigger' or laugh at troons on many parts of the net.

 

[Zizara]

TL;DR: entirely too many Internet people think the party goes on forever, and make no plans on how to stay alive when it ends. Some do.

Hell even Totalbiscuit was broke as fuck by the time he died. Sure the cancer diagnosis doesn't help there, but dying and leaving behind nothing but medical debt for your family to remember you by is plain embarrassing for a guy who was once basically single-handedly propping up the Starcraft 2 esports scene outside Korea just because it was a passion project for him.
TB was a dude who by all appearances had his shit together too, and sold his image on repeatedly making it clear that youtubers needed to treat what they're doing as a proper career with investment and backups. If even someone like him can fuck it up in the end, you can't expect much better from the typical neet who stumbled into internet success ass-first.

 

[Murenu]

Admittedly, the videos Gregory has been making in the past 3 years talking about paranormal & conspiracy subjects in an objective way are pretty good. That just makes it extra strange he'd pathetically grovel publicly like this. There was nothing to indicate he was doing poorly prior, as if anything his channel is better than it ever was compared to when he was blabbing about atheism through an embarrassing Knight OC. I have no idea what's going on.

 

[No Batty Boys in Jamaica]

A friend of mine follows Shoe. A few months ago I asked him if Shoe had hit the wall yet. He said “it’s only a matter of months”.

Now it has been a few months and it seems to have happened.

Gregg isn’t taking it very well.

Lol.
Lmao even.

Edit: I just looked at recent videos and she still looks pretty good. Gregg could’ve still been hitting that. Ahahaahahahaha way to not appreciate God’s gifts, yah goof.

 

[Det. Frank Washington Esq]

he probably let her weird worshipping go to his head like, "damn i deserve more, i should be like ghengis kahn, im a kang". then he dumps her and is like oh this is actually really hard and most women want me to clean my own dishes.

You get a solid 7 that's way out of your league? Need to hold onto that sumbitch for dear life.

 

[TheDarknessGrows]

Hell even Totalbiscuit was broke as fuck by the time he died.

Totalbiscuit was a no-talent hack that deserved his cancer. He literally asked for it.

 

[ReasonablyRetarded]

What you fail to understand is that every single youtuber who does it as a full time "career" is a lazy degenerate who wouldn't survive being employed in anything.

Not to mention is often too retarded to do something useful with their money, such as properties etc (yes that has its downsides, but if you're some homo uploading 1-3 video's a week, you definitely have time to learn & apply yourself in that sector).

I can imagine & sympathize with buying something nice you otherwise couldn't afford for yourself when you get that first paycheck from adsense of whatever, but there's a difference between doing that once or twice a year & doing it every month.

 

[OrangeJuliusEvola]

All these e-celebs fail to ask themselves a simple question: "Am I and can I do this when I am 40?" 99% of e-celebs are lost in the gutter after a few years of e-fame and unless they made millions its back to the grind with them. Now obviously most of them think they're the exception, but I doubt this question even crosses their minds.

It's funny, most of the youtube channels I've followed were hit pretty badly by the adpocalypse, the general decline in popularity all channels suffer, and a lack of new innovative content. That said, most of them delt with it with a minimum of whining and drama. They tried some new shit, most of which failed for them, and they quietly went back to full time jobs and retired from making videos or reduced output.

But then a lot of the channels I follow are either builder-based or music production based. I figure talking head channels have the most to lose with the littlest to return to.

 

[Stop Sign]

Considering his videos and the frequency at which he uploads them, to me looks like that Greg doesn't know what a youtuber job is.
He looks like the kind of guy that thinks that being a youtuber means making a video "when you feel like doing it". Well, guess what Greg? It doesn't work like that.
Making a living off youtube means doing it as a full-time job, and like every job on this godforsaken planet, it means you have to do stuff even when you don't feel like doing it; because, you know, it's a job, not a hobby.
I've heard some youtubers explaining their jobs: they have a very strict routine. They need to look for material for the next video, properly document about it, write down a script, film the video, find relevant photos/videos to add, properly edit it, etc. That's something that takes your whole day. There are youtubers out there that upload twice a week just to stay relevant, and they barely make enough money to make it to the end of the month. Some youtubers work so much to grow and keep their audience, that they start to have health problems (the first that comes up in my mind is Arun from MrWhosetheboss, who in a video some months ago stated that he needed to tone down the work on the videos because it was starting to badly effect his health).
Our beloved Greg, on the other hand, spouts out a low-effort video every two months, and expects praise for it.

I might understand that making videos for him is a "passion" (and I'm being very optimistic on this one by not calling it a "grift"), but passion without dedication brings you nowhere. For comparison, imagine a dude that wants to be a professional bodybuilder, but works out and eats healthy only when he feels like doing it: this is Greg.

Greg always looked like a spoiled, low-IQ manchild, and this depressive rant of his just confirms that. He just wants money handed to him for merely existing. There are plenty of jobs out there for people who have no market-worthy skills, and even if they're menial jobs it's still a thousand times better than being homeless. But I guess that a "normal" job is out of question for Greg. Perhaps it's true: the long-term morbid adoration from June has gone to his head, and he's started to think that he's really special and above others. What a hard way to find out the truth.

He sounds more like Spoony here.

Ironic that his youtube channel shares the same fate as June's real hair by fading into non existance.

 

[Burning Fanatic]

yeah that's always my thought. people saying "omg i cant bring kids into a world like this... where x is happening.." nigger there were babies being born in berlin in 1945. deal with it. shit will never be perfect.


he probably let her weird worshipping go to his head like, "damn i deserve more, i should be like ghengis kahn, im a kang". then he dumps her and is like oh this is actually really hard and most women want me to clean my own dishes.

Last time I checked in on this thread, after Greg broke up with June and called off the wedding, he started putting out more podcast type content where he talked with some Australian chick he seemed to be into (which was rather ironic, considering how June and Greg claimed that the "long distance relationship" between the US and Canada was a big issue for them). Then, iirc, some months later, that same woman said that she had breast cancer or some type of life changing illness, and he very quickly dumped or blocked her. Although a lot of this thread has been dedicated to dunking on June, I vividly remember a bunch of people here hating on Greg for being a total douche. And I'm sure there are plenty of other examples I've probably missed or can't recall. So I'm not surprised to see his channel slowly dying out as he's been losing connections left and right, likely due to his own overinflated ego pushing people away.

Nah, Thunder (unlike most Antitheist ‘tubers of yore) has an education that allowed him to successfully move on to something else: he debunks bad/fake science these days. AFAIK he hasn’t done a video on religion in years.

I mean, for all his lack of reading comprehension (like when he thought the women in refrigerators trope was literally about fiction where women are stored in freezing containters), the guy is an actual scientist who does real science work (some chemical or nuclear thing, if I recall correctly) and that's his main source of income. I think they even tried to get him fired years ago and his boss was like "lol".

The Amazing Atheist did well. Still does his channel, did Drunken Peasants then Deep Fat Fried

Edward Current, Potholer 54, cdk007 are just dead channels

Thetaomega and that British astronomer grew up

Dprjones died

Theowarner vanished. Damn I loved his videos

I lost track of a bunch of others. Teal Deer, Noel Plum, Justicar, Mykeru Media. And a bunch more.

Yeah I've listened to some of the podcast thing Quartering, Dankula and Bearing do and they sound like they feel the need to religiously pay attention to the algorithm on youtube and pump out videos as they can. Algorithm doesn't like it when you don't put out videos consistently and even then you may not make much off the video itself, but rather off of ad reads.

Even if people mock the idea of making living as a youtuber, the reality of it doesn't seem to be something you can do casually.

In Greg's case it probably didn't help that he didn't want to chase trends and get into talking politics the way others were. Politics got clicks and devoted followers, plus you had a relatively established group of youtubers that all worked at promoting each other so everyone could get more views and Patreon bux.

 

[Pepper Jack]

I still miss The Justicar

Thanks to Justicar, we got this Sargoy gem

 

[Brahmin]

I lost track of a bunch of others. Teal Deer, Noel Plum, Justicar, Mykeru Media. And a bunch more.

Teal Deer went to BitChute for a bit to upload certain content exclusively, which went as well as you expect. He later went on to make a news parody channel called "I Can't Even News" which unfortunately received low viewership as well. He's less active nowadays.

Even if people mock the idea of making living as a youtuber, the reality of it doesn't seem to be something you can do casually.

Even people who play the algorithm game religiously should have a secondary income stream (or in fact, a primary, with YT being the secondary). There's that Mutahar guy, also an algorithm slave from the looks of it, but I remember seeing a video where he talked to a psychologist, and he said he's constantly doing stock market trading. Which, if you know how to do it, is a smart thing to have in case YT decides to fuck you one way or the other.

 

[Benzo Samurai]

All of these glorified NEET-celebs of days gone by should have done 4 things:
- saved money
- got education
- got part-time job, just to have something to show a future employer once ecelebism dies
- maintained health(the most important prerequisite for anything "life")

Yeah I think Quartering and Dank have talked about buying real estate so they have something when the Youtube gig dies out for them. Also have Sargon with his comedy club (if I remember right).

The more level headed the Youtuber the more doomerish they seem to be about having Youtube being a long term career. Which seems like the most level headed way to go about it. Most of them seem to feel like they can do this for a few years and should cash out doing it while they can then move on.

Greg's situation is just staggering to me though since he was one of the few semi-successful youtubers who could've easily gotten carried into minor success (like at least middle class income). He had to pretty much purposefully avoid making connections with any other successful youtubers who could've helped him or even just acted as sympathetic ears to listen to him cry about bullshit. Weirdly antisocial.

Should have married Shoe when he had the chance.
