The simple fact that the Gifted Hater thread has devolved into a discussion of the validity of adults riding scooters really illuminates what this dude is bringing to skating.
GH and scooters both equally suck though.
I actually don't mind when he does the skatepark reviews. They're pretty entertaining for whatever reason and he can be pretty funny when he's clowning on some obstacles or what his friends have chosen to bring for snacks. He's a pretty good skateboarder too, I gotta give that to him.
However, I've watched a total of 30 seconds of his twitch-style sit-in-front-of-a-big-pop-filtered-mic-with-big-ugly-headphones-on-and-whine-for-hours videos before I got really annoyed by it all. But I find that video format in general to be the worst thing on earth next to tik tok, so that's just me I guess. How do people watch these?
Not just gifted hater but that style of stream in general. Is it just a friend simulator?
Yes, that format in general is so unbearable to watch. Even when I search for some info on something and it's some highly regarded professor doing the talking, I just cannot watch it. When they're straight on into the camera it's somewhat less offensive, but that 3/4 view just makes me sick, it's an uncontrollable reaction. It's like looking in on someone have a private conversation and we can't see the other side, seems gross.
I prefer my friend simulators in podcast form, thank you very much. Or slap.
Millions of subscribers and viewers of all lenguages around the globe say the total opposite. We are just too old and that's our problem.
I have a 12 years old son who sees shit like this all the time (twitch/youtube gamers), and I mean ALL THE TIME; and its not only him, its ALL his friends, nephews, every single kid nowadays basically.
They grew up with this kind of content and they feel related cause its something "they could do".
That being said, I reckon GH skateboarding skills but can't stand watching his content for more than a few minutes. I have him on youtube to know some skateboarding gossip/new videos.
