I typically don't pay much mind to the whole YouTube skate thing because I mainly view it as something targeted toward kids. But it's weird how much they seem to want it both ways. They wanna go against the grain of "traditional" skate content and fish for views with clickbait-y titles and gimmicky premises, then they act shocked when those traditional avenues don't embrace them. They declare themselves "pro" without a quarter of the work and talent then they expect actual professionals to consider them equals in an industry they're actively isolating themselves from. They're selling pricepoint hardgoods in an already oversaturated market to compete with real brands, and then they're surprised when a media conglomerate that heavily relies on those real brands doesn't include them in the mix as if they're somehow entitled to be. Like I said, I'm not very concerned about their content. If they wanna cater themselves to 12 year olds and cut corners for attention, fine. Get that YouTube money. But you don't get to have it both ways.

he uploaded this video on the same channel that has videos such as "I SPENT $30,000 ON A SKATESHOP!?!?" and "Can Americans tell the difference between Asians?!?!?"

Being pro is Arbitrary. Every asshole has the right to start their own skate brand and do whatever they want with it and thrasher can pick and chose who they advertise with. IF they wanna leave money on the table so be it.

anyway he humble bragged about he and his friends youtube following and how he doesn't even need to advertise with thrasher so what's the problem? Why even chase that thrasher approval if you don't need it.

Also that trailer had a way to much park footage.

I never understood how young kids get so wrapped up with these YouTube pro’s. If I was a kid and the only exposure I had to skateboarding was through them, I’d probably never start skateboarding in the first place. Every single one of them seem like they’d be Bible Camp counselors if they didn’t get into skateboarding, doing some sort of weird Christian Rock youth group nonsense. It has to be people who don’t skate who’re keeping these guys view counts high, right?

As far as I’m aware, Thrasher is a publication centered around & catering to skateboarders.
What does Revive, Braille, or John Hill have to do with skateboarding? Is Walmart a skate company because they have boards for sale on aisle 6?
Anybody remember when Thrasher let Heelys run an advert? Or maybe it was soap shoes. US Army recruitment ads?
Maybe some things are better off left out, John Hill being one.

Believe Thrasher may fear that they will seem less hellride if they have those ads in there. As in lose a certain hellride audience/ element to the mag and legitimacy of that image. Not sure if there is as much of a hellride to project anymore at this point anyway. It's pretty heckride at this point. And really has been for years.

But you don't get to have it both ways.

I listened to the entire video (for whatever reason - maybe seasonal depression or morbid curiosity). The general lack of awareness on John Hill's part is pretty interesting - i.e., being subtly offended that Thrasher would want to know sponsors a skater is affiliated with before posting their content. Skateboarding is so multi-faceted and I think the division between which platform display which brands/riders will grow more and more apparent. I don't think there's anything wrong wit that and, if anything, will help the John Hills, John Cardiels and John Shanahanz thrive in their own space.

I really expected to hate this but it turned out to be a really non-inciteful bit of whinge.  I do feel a little dumber having watched it but if you like braille shit then it seems like a natural next move.  Thrasher doesn't want your "we are the world" skate videos and you don't need to advertise of thrasher.  So... whatever then!  There's probably $100 billion to be made by being the fisher price of skate media companies.  Why would anyone complain about that opportunity..?

The youtube skate world is like christian netflix. I don't know how these people don't see why theyre not accepted into mainstream skating. Thrasher is willing to give voice to sub cultures (skate witches, unity, etc) but not youtube kooks because no matter how you slice it, filming your daily vlog for the millionth time in a row, putting your mug making a quirky face on your vomit layout thumbnail, and click batey titles will never be that interesting.

all jokes aside, for everyone saying it's dumb for him to whine about "not being allowed in the mag," it does make sense for hill to want to buy his brand an ad in thrasher. it's just another thing off the checklist, and it would be for anyone who wants themselves or their brand to "make it" in skating.

the fact that he has his own competing platforms is almost beside the point. SB and tons of other brands have "their own platforms" on YT and IG etc. and still get in the mag.

they should just take the money and look the other way, that would be extra hellride.

Doubt he cares how lame his schtick is. As long as he gets 12-year olds to subscribe to his YouTube channel, watch his videos, and wear his lame ass clothing brand, he's getting paid and that's all that matters.

It's the YouTube influence formula. YouTube preview images that have a bright, colorful background, bold type, and their face (for recognition). They react and make content about the lamest shit, because numbers is the name of the game. The more numbers, the more ad revenue they get.

Never heard of this guy (lucky me) and I was sad because is not JONAH HILL.
Like I saw in this video there´s a lot of youtubers like this that call themselves pro and post content for another audience (not slap posters).

I know people can make a lot off money off youtube and cool for them, If you have that fan base, views, etc, why would you are dying to be in that "antique magazine". Just shut up and be happy because you´re doing money off skateboarding without actually ¨making it"  in the industry, be grateful.

This new type of youtube brands and content that those guys do is not my cup of tea, but they have their audience, and followers, and maybe them, don´t really care about thrasher, this forum or stuff people here like, its ok. That stuff like the olympics make the skate for different type of people, that´s ok, is diversity, but don´t act like you don´t care the older way of promote skate and start crying because you´re not in thrasher.

Like someone said it, it´s funny this guys call "conecctions" in the industry to all his youtuber friends.

2 more things:

- I´m not thrasher, but if in your Ad I see that park footy obviusly is a no no for you.

- Thrasher commented on the video inviting him to go back to double rock, LOL

He doesn't care he didn't get to place an ad. He just wanted to make a clickbait video. If they had let him run an ad, the clickbait would have been "we made the craziest/stupidest/funniest etc etc ad for Thrasher magazine and look what happened next"

If Thrasher had replied and said "um, no" he would have made a 13min video breaking down all the possible meanings that two word response could have.

It's a win-win for this douchetowel. "I wanted to make a clickbait video and then you'll never believe what happened, suckers on Slap talked shit about me for three pages, generating more clicks and earning me more money for my orthodontist bills"

It´s just me or you guys also hate the "speaking-to-the-camera¨ kinda people/influencers/youtubers shhit?

I don´t know man, but hate that shit, I unfollowed lot of people, even hot chicks after seeing that kind of content, and talking bullshit to the front camera of their phones, IDK, maybe is the norm and I´m just out of the loop.

 I just crossed with this IG the other day of a famous (not skate related) and all the post were the guy speaking to the camera and showing all the free stuff he gets every day, and not like unboxing cameras, or sneakers, just food and even toilet paper, not from chains, more like from small restaurants, or food truck arround the corner who want to get mentioned.

All the IG was like that, like not doing content or dancing tik-toks just saying thanks to those who sent him the lunch that day. Felt second hand embarrassment.

Any mention of youtubers on this forum should be instant and permanent ban from mods, this guy especially.

It's insane this morons start their own garbage companies turn themselves pro, film parts full of skatepark footage and then expect Thrasher or any legit media or sponsors to support them.

great earlier points from pizzafliptofakie & twist.

I have no problem with this. People doing their own thing rather than going through ‘established’ ‘traditional’ routes.

Is it corny as fuck? Yeah.

Is it aimed at kids? Yeah.

But like it or not, that has always been a part of skateboarding from the beginning.

Yes, it’s fun to mock and feel superior, and start defending the integrity of Thrasher as if we don’t shit on it every other day.

It’s just another quirky thing that is outside skateboarding for most of us, like mega ramps and energy drink sponsorships.

Him attributing Thrasher's disinterest in his friend's part to lack of proximity to a major city is a joke.

The fact that he doesn't seem to understand that Thrasher is more than a magazine, but a brand in and of itself, that has to choose who to align with just shows why he is where he is, and they are where they are.

John Hill is unaccepted by the skate community in NYC because he is a total kook.  Nobody in the city wants John Hill's stink on them...Hill sessions NYC alone or skates with his 20-something razor scooter friend.  Thrasher made the right decision by denying Hill's shitstain of a company to advertise in their publication.

There will always be real skateboarding going on, and I think eventually the whole YouTube / Social Media Landscape will collapse because people will realize its not authentic to film yourself every waking moment of your life.

There's plenty of real skateboarding that goes down and never gets filmed. It's just passed down by word of mouth from skate Bard to skate Bard....someone like Stranger comes to mind

Not sure the actual pay revenue but it's somewhere in that ballpark.  I was basing it off a mild youtuber Ben Degros he has a modest number of followers.  I'll say .75 cents per view to be modest either way that's quite a bit.

Now someone like Pewdiepie or some other jackass with a shtick and a shitload of foloowers they make a gratuitous amount for views.

I thought it was way closer to $0.02 a view or something along those lines. Maybe I'm confusing it with Spotify, but it has to be somewhat low the way they can only make a living by pumping out videos on a semi-daily basis.

Yeah from personal experience this is WAY inflated. If your talking about ad money its generally like $1,000 per 1,000,000 views so like .0001 cent per view. Now sponsored videos and the like are a whole other ballgame.

I typically don't pay much mind to the whole YouTube skate thing because I mainly view it as something targeted toward kids. But it's weird how much they seem to want it both ways. They wanna go against the grain of "traditional" skate content and fish for views with clickbait-y titles and gimmicky premises, then they act shocked when those traditional avenues don't embrace them. They declare themselves "pro" without a quarter of the work and talent then they expect actual professionals to consider them equals in an industry they're actively isolating themselves from. They're selling pricepoint hardgoods in an already oversaturated market to compete with real brands, and then they're surprised when a media conglomerate that heavily relies on those real brands doesn't include them in the mix as if they're somehow entitled to be. Like I said, I'm not very concerned about their content. If they wanna cater themselves to 12 year olds and cut corners for attention, fine. Get that YouTube money. But you don't get to have it both ways.

I dream of this often. I would love to have a nice quarterly magazine with subscribers dedicated to free expression instead of commerce and patronage.

Thrasher didn't do it like that though, it was no dream or literary vocation, it was part of marketing the brands that the head already owned. More like a newsletter.

$2 per view seems like a lot. I thought they get a fraction of that.
[close]
Not sure the actual pay revenue but it's somewhere in that ballpark.  I was basing it off a mild youtuber Ben Degros he has a modest number of followers.  I'll say .75 cents per view to be modest either way that's quite a bit.

Now someone like Pewdiepie or some other jackass with a shtick and a shitload of foloowers they make a gratuitous amount for views.
[close]
I thought it was way closer to $0.02 a view or something along those lines. Maybe I'm confusing it with Spotify, but it has to be somewhat low the way they can only make a living by pumping out videos on a semi-daily basis.

$2 is way too high, just look at his social blade if you want to know what he is earning;

https://socialblade.com/youtube/user/john2010hillbilly

But in general your looking at 1-2k for a million views, depending on what watchtime rate he is getting paid. Smaller channels get paid a lower rate so someone like John would be in the 1k rang for a million view video, which he seldom does so he is hardly rich. He's making money for sure, but it's hard work don't think it's easy..

He puts out about 10 videos a month, even at $500 a video in ad revenue, he's averaging $5k a month. Then add that he's constantly selling out his shitty clothing line, he's probably making enough to live in NY comfortable. No, he's not living in luxury, but it does allow him to skate every day for a living.

You kinda caught me off guard with the part where he’s figured out how to make money off of SLAP.
Thought HSP were the only ones collecting revenue from this place, but live & learn, I guess.

I remember some other John hill/Nigel vid where he expressed cognizance at the fact that being a youtube skater earns you an automatic blacklist position from the industry, so I'm sure (apart from actually trying to get in) he's just making an observation for the most part. I mean, if anyone remembers, it took Welcome skateboards some time before they were even able to break through; with the Ryan Lay/Huf debacle being a prime example of industry attitudes towards the "fringe". Does thrasher represent the entire landscape of skating? No, just the core it seems. But you can't really deny that the Revive camp has a chunk of skateboarding. Maybe something like Transworld would be a better bet?

Had to edit your so it's easier to read, yes Thrasher represents the core image of skating and if you feel entitled to be apart of the "core industry" you should've known Youtube wasn't going to be your avenue. 

Entitlement and his expectations like anyone would really want him on their roster apart from some kiddy brand.   who would really want him?  Maybe Birdhouse? Darkstar?

Either way you make your own lane with youtube and start your own shit for whack pricepoint decks. nahhh even Ben Degros has started his own board brand with BBS got a couple at first launch and they are on point with DLXSF brands.

There are unwritten rules to this skate industry shit... always has been and always will be.


John, Andy Schrock, and Shaggy from Braille have no industry connections. Their brands got popping because of YouTube. It doesn’t matter how much money they make or how many views they generate, if you’ve never been in the industry at a high level, i.e., a professional skater who skated for a legitimate company without being reputed as a “kook”. You can’t start a brand and then want to be with the major players in the industry. Doesn’t work that way.

You can a brand or company as this is a free country but you will never be taken seriously or be seen as legitimate if you never were a pro.

Maybe Confusion Magazine is what you are looking for? It's made by skaters for skaters, with an emphasis on underground skate/art scenes and DIY spots all around the world. It definitely corresponds better to my own definition of what is "core skateboarding", which is far from Thrasher or what happens in SF.
