Farmers earn more from YouTube than their crops

[cows sh#t me to tears]

And ass less chaps

Whatever floats your boat

 

[mountfarm]

I really shouldn't watch any more farming channels on youtube, watched Mike mitchell, Larson farms, Brians farming videos, millennial farmer and Welkers for a good while, thanks to this thread started watching olly blogs as well, me and Ben have watched over 40 of his videos in the last few days, could almost do with a 10 day isolation period and we'd watch them all from the start. All that said I almost want to watch the other olly to see if it's really as bad as it seems.

Don’t watch him because then he gets more views so it fuels his belief everybody likes him.

He’s a blithering idiot and not liked in his locality either.

@mountfarm Absolutely right!

I tell the idiots I work with not to watch him, but they insist on keeping me up to date with what he is doing, because they know I cannot stand Olly as he winds me up like a coil spring! I cannot believe they want to push up his views either.

The latest is he has bought a very low mileage Defender that was one of the last ones to be produced, not to look after and keep in the shed, but to wreck, like he does with his telehandlers. Yet, he keeps going on he must give it a clean off! He doesn't live in the real world.

On the plus side however, they showed me the video of his Massey Ferguson 65, because I'm quite a MF 65 enthusiast, that he has bought to supposedly invest his money in. This 65 he has bought has got too bigger wheels on the front and the back wheels have had their wheel weight centres taken off and oil is breathing out of engine! To top it all, he paid £3900 for the tractor. I thought to myself the seller saw you coming.

He upsets me the way he believes cows are bad for the environment. Just why is he trying to put himself out of a job? Yet, he drives a gas guzzling Land Rover and goes to machinery shows in Germany. As if this is good for the environment? I just wish he would show people a better understanding of saving and looking after money. To me he just needs to have a go at things such as fencing in his videos in order to give people and youngsters encouragement to give things a go yourself! None of this "the fencing contractors really do know what they are doing and I like to leave it to them". If everybody thought like that nobody would get anywhere in life. Mind you I can't say much for myself as I have no YouTube channel and he has nearly 100k subscribers on his.

Well said. Couldn't agree more.
I can't stand the arsehole because he gives off the impression that farming is a high financial reward for such little work involved - all he does is talk rubbish about what machine he's buying next, how much of daddys money he can spend yet never shows actual work of doing the unpretty side of the job and getting his hands dirty (probably because the spoilt little twit never does )
His " harvest " video is the perfect example, paid someone to do his combining, bailing and even cart his grain while he filmed it, then had the brass neck to claim he was very tired from such a long day... from sitting on his arse doing f**k all.
I can believe what @mountfarm said about him not being liked locally. Hes a smug, self-righteous, self-obsessed, lazy, spoilt little stroker who paints the picture of farming in a terrible light. He's certainly not the type of person I'd want to be associated with.

I don’t think you like this you tuber. Hmm but you are absolutely right in what you have said, l think the majority of his audience are children but that’s know way to portray our livelihood.

The worry is he's got 100k idiots watching him.
But then isn't it about £10k per 100k subscribers.
I know it depends on views, time length and more importantly advertisements. There must be a limit to what advertisers want to pay to interrupt a farming channel.

My 7 year old started to watch him yesterday. He watched part of the one about his hedge cutter, then got fed up and started to watch the one about the blinging up of the Deere. After a few minutes he switched it off and said why does me have a tractor and want all this machinery when he doesn't do any work

Old Mr uuurrrrmmmmmm, george Saunders was a much better watch!

 

[graham mc]

the guys obviously a grade a stroker but he must be playing the system for $$$

The average age of his watchers must be 3-5 years old so does this affect the money he gets for advertising? surely advertisers would get more out of ollyblogs and tom pembertons videos where the viewers are least of school age!!! if there is no differnce fair play to the guy for exploiting a loophole i guess.
It always catches up with these guys tho in the end some else will come along and grab the pre school audience and he wont survive in the real world

Remember a you tube Channel is for life not just for Christmas

Just catching up on the last couple of videos, I think a big ollybloggs themed steel cutout is what you need on the end of the building.

My colleagues have been on about him today and winding me up and the latest thing is he wants to employ a videographer because he will be too busy to make the videos himself!

Me and the 6 year old son had a similar situation today,we thought perhaps the few episodes we had previously seen were just bad luck,but no,after 4 minutes in to a video about compaction my son turns to me and asks can we watch something else please It really was that bad

Slightly off topic, (although I believe he has a you tube following and a merch store) but this chap is mint..

I think the average age is a lot higher as everyone on here seems to watch

Unfortunately jealousy is rife in agriculture. It's baffling seeing grown men having a go at a lad who is making money by keeping his hands clean rather then being covered in cow 5hi7 all day and wearing his body out.

In my humble opinion the content you put out should have attracted over 100k+ subscribers easily. Even our fitter who has no interest in agriculture loves your hands on boiler fixes and general problem solving on a day to day basis.

However as you have new machinery, Fendt tractors, nice sheds and several business's many farmers won't subscribe due to the green eyed monster.

You'd do alot better on Youtube if you had run down buildings with machinery held together with bale band like Tom initially started.

So true . I ve subscribed mind, been watching from day 3 I think

I think we seem to watch it for the amusement factor.watched one today and he wanted to buy a subsoiler and decided the cousins subsoiler was the wrong type for his light land and he needed a simba version.the cousins version woukd do his job perfectly all right but maybe it was too old or unfashionable.
