Since I can't speak very well at the moment a community post will have to do. I was going to make a video about this a while ago but I never bothered, I kind of wish I had now. About the concept of "hate watching" and the followings that certain "influencers" or whatever you want to call them are able to inadvertently gain on the internet. A general rule that I have always tended to live by on here is that if I don't like a channel or if a channel annoys me in any way, then I simply won't watch them. Because my time is precious to me and I won't be wasting it on content that I don't get enjoyment from. On YouTube all you have to do is hit the "don't recommend" button and the channel is essentially on your blacklist.
For example if I find out a channel is an atheist or a liberal, straight to the blacklist you get the picture. What I have never been able to get my head around is the concept of watching and subscribing to a channel ran by someone who you hate on a personal level and who's content makes you angry or upset. Watching simply to stir up negative emotions in yourself and spread that hatred into the comments section.
The reason I bring all this up is because even with me practically trying to distance myself from this channel and Boxing content in general, and becoming more of a satirical troll who occasionally gives some insights into Boxing (if and when I feel like it) and with my channel not even being remotely big by the standards of modern YouTube. Somehow I have consistently since the very beginning been able to amass these kinds of viewers over the years.
I study the metrics from time to time and have noticed some very disturbing things.
There are more than a handful of people subscribed to this channel who utterly seethe about me on a daily basis, watching the channel like a hawk, clicking on videos, leaving multiple comments on multiple seperate accounts daily, desperately begging for my attention and validation. Making the lamest, most generic and unimaginative insults known to man. Sometimes I will log out of this channel for days and not waste any time on YouTube, and the vast majority of my regular subscribers (who I assume are normal working class people like myself who have lives outside of the internet) don't seem to interact with the channel much if at all. Because why would they if the channel is inactive?
However what interaction I will get is from these aforementioned "hate watchers" people who I have never met, and if truth be told don't really care to meet (I'm not very sociable) yet for some reason I live in their heads rent free, so much so that they are willing to spend all day refreshing my channel just waiting for something to jump on. Sometimes it gets so disturbing that I will turn the computer off for an hour, then log back in to check my emails and will get a string of notifications from these "hate watchers" asking me where I am and begging for a response. Creepy behaviour that conjures up some disturbing images of what they must be like away from the internet.
Some of them are long time subscribers who have the scorned ex girlfriend syndrome, meaning they were into my channel for some reason until I said something that angered them and they're now vengeful towards me instead. Basically they have female energy. Others are simply sexual deviants (like one in particular who is a known cross dresser who made fake accounts impersonating me on numerous live streams lol) who I suspect is simply demon possessed and triggered by my stoic, Christian machismo! Others are simply autists who lack the mental capacity to understand the way I think, so they freak out and become psycho stalker types.
Point is the vast majority of the, I guess you could say "off peak" interaction that this channel gets is negativity from obsessed former fans and haters. Now it cannot be denied that I deliberately make provocative and depending on who you ask offensive videos. I challenges the status quo, societal norms and openly say things you're not allowed to say. I make bold predictions (most of which are accurate as proven by my record) and am willing to put my neck on the line with them, though it means very little since again this is the internet and its not "serious business" and I do deliberately trigger cultish fanboys and haters of fighters as well as people who are into the sport for reasons involving their own baggage. With all that in mind you could say that I expect and even on some level want backlash.
But its important not to miss the point isn't it. The channel has regular subscribers who understand me, understand my world view, my ideology and most importantly my sense of humour and they don't get into their feelings over the provocative and "controversial" things that I say. And for those that do, hey the channel isn't for everyone, you don't have to watch. There are plenty of safe, edgeless normie channels for you to watch instead who will keep you updated on which promoter Anthony Yarde is considering signing with next, or who Tyson Fury has most recently called a dosser. You know the big important news channels.
I don't know about you guys, but to me spending every single hour of your life obsessing over a crappy, inconsequential 10k YouTube channel that is basically dead at this point and actively doesn't give a crap, has to be one of the most mortifying things I can possibly think of.
Its like these people will do anything, even spend hours of every day desperately trying to upset me or make me mad, or make me emotional in some way, or make me behave as if the internet is in any way equivalent to real life. But no matter what they do or how hard they try I never compromise and I never change. There is nothing they can do to me, and its honestly quite cute that they still try. I make videos if and when I feel like, on whatever subject or topic I feel like and nobody influences me one way or another.
Its actually beginning to fascinate me a bit, and even make me feel pretty good about myself. Yeah that's the last thing I needed on here right an ego boost. Because clearly as much of a failure as this crappy channel is, and as much as I don't even care about it. Clearly I made an impact. I made you take time out of your life (assuming you have any life at all outside of the internet) to follow my channel around pouring your heart out in an attempt to make me feel as miserable as you do.
It takes a certain amount of charisma and personality to do that without even remotely trying, that's something not everyone's got, you've either got it or you don't and I've obviously got it. So yeah, I kick ass. Which lets be honest is the reason why you're here watching my channel and I'm not watching yours. The reason you took time out of your day to read this entire post which I made off the top of my head while sick and chilling out on a Sunday night, and are now frantically thinking of some kind of response or set of emoji's to convey your scorned ex girlfriend emotions.
I am the kind of person who avoids consuming negativity, yet for some reason I absolutely THRIVE on negative feedback. It makes me feel good. I'm not sure if that's normal but oh well who cares. Would have been fun to talk about all this in a video or maybe even a live stream but again as I've already stated I'm not well enough to do it. I'll probably have a video ready when I'm recovered if I feel like it. God Bless.

FYI I intended to have either a video or a live stream up this weekend. But unfortunately I have come down with a horrendous chest infection or something and can barely speak without gasping for air. Sorry for the lack of content.

I swear there's something about the Scottish countryside that just seems to give you unlimited energy.

Does anyone else find it strange that I made my 5 grand offer months ago and still nobody has taken me up on it, yet comments like these are still somewhat prominent?

Was going to go live tonight since I had things to do last night, but I can't for the life of me think of anything to talk about. There aren't any fights coming up that interest me in the slightest or that I haven't already spoken about at length.

I swear its like some of you guys don't know a thing about me and have never listened to a word I've said.

Fantastic fight between Abass Baraou and Sam Eggington. It was interesting to see Abass use a high guard the entire fight and actually take the fight to the bigger man. Close and competitive fight but a clear win and a well deserved decision. A Jack Culcay rematch IMO is one of the most interesting fights that can be made in Boxing right now.
On a side note, watching that fight felt really old school in a good way. Sam Egginton is the perfect example of a REAL fighter who has genuinely developed over the years. There was no corruption, no BS commentary, no dive. Just a good old fashioned fight between 2 warriors. You don't get that much in Boxing these days. Great night.
