Why does BCF hate Vloggers so much?

[madmax123]

What's the deal with it?
I watch a load of MotoVloggers and I Vlog myself and have a lot of fun doing it and have close to 1,000 fans
Don't worry I'm not here to plug it and I won't even post my channel.
Question is why do BCF have a bad view on Vloggers as whenever I see posts about them it always strikes up fury the likes only seen when discussing Hitler.
Anyway as I said I do it and I do mostly comedy stuff, jokes and wordplay, general life and I have even done bike reviews.
some of you must like Vloggers surely, I would have thought a Biker forum would be the best place for it, I understand that it would annoy the forum when people sign up just to plug their content but a general dislike is a bit much.

because they are boring and shit.

When there was just a few vloggers chatting about interesting bike stuff it was ok, but now you have millions of pricks bitching like housewives.

[kerr]

Because a lot only sign up here as you said, but really its because the vast majority of vloggers just like to hear themselves talk, try too hard to come across funny and generally just talk inane shite.

Because the vast, vast majority are little/un-edited drivel with a background of boring riding.
A stream of consciousness which exists in our minds purely so that we don't embarrasses ourselves by talking complete **** in public.

The best place for it would be in a toilet.
In an isolated out-house.
With no one else within 100 metres.

HTH

Something like a 'bike review' can be a good subject for a youtube video.
Until your typical vlogger gets hold of it, at which point it becomes painfully boring to watch.

Best viral marketing campaign ever.

Personally, I don't mind them. If they are shit I don't keep watching. It's the same principle I had when they launched channel 5.

Think of it like this. Without v loggers there would be less footage for crash compilations and that I do like.

[MarJay]

A Vlog is a crime against biking. Taking something that is inherently exciting, interesting, vibrant and fun and turning it into a dull dreary soapbox full of monotone verbal diahorrea and making biking look as exciting as folding the washing on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

HTH.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

[Musketeer]

Most of the vloggers are:
-boring people with nothing interesting to say
-inexperienced riders with low skills, poor observations (many L platers or new big bike riders)but ranting about other motorists
-swearing a lot for no apparent reason, thinking they sound cool (?) or something
-attention seekers completely ignored/rejected othewise
-people recording themselves in boring locations like motorways or towns on their way to work

[Irn-Bru]

Because not everyone likes the same things, why fight it?

i like vloggers who talk about bikes and stuff like roadcraft nottingham, he talks a lot about bikes and how to ride and braking and other useful tips and does reviews on other bikes.

OP,

It's because there's thousands of them who love the sound of their own voice despite being dull as a dull thing on dullsday afternoon in the land of dull.

There are one or two more entertaining ones but it's kind of like one of them 'got talent' tv shows where everyone thinks they're talented and they're really, really not

If they were vlogging about LC's, tits, raves and racing off from the old bill then maybe I'd watch them. Some cunt riding to work, no thanks.

As most of the others have said. Its bloody boring. The only one I found amusing killed himself in a house fire the other year. He was fun to watch because his vlogging was not restricted to boring drivel. He would post pranks, fantastic rants against the establishment. His Legoland rant was a peach. And his vlogs on the bike were often interesting and damn funny.

I wouldn’t say I hate them. I just have no interest in what people on YouTube generally have to say. So I always have the volume off when I see a vlog. That leaves it to the road alone to be interesting, which it rarely is. Cant speak for your videos, don’t know who you are.

[DrDonnyBrago]

I hate Vlogs.

Boring, monotonous shite spewed forth by a hapless mong with an air of indignation and superiority. The riding is shit, the topics are shit, the vloggers are perpetual whiners and it is the only thing on the internet that I consider more contemptible than blogging.


I've only ever found one to be interesting, but that was because some bloke was failing at getting a GSXR through a green lane.

[Rogerborg]

As usual, I look to the Historical Documents for wisdom. To wit, the infamous Star Trek: Enterprise decontamination scene.

Star Trek + Vulcan bullet nips = awesome, right?

No, as it turns out insipid Sci-Fi + weak porn farr = wasting my time twice as fast as either taken in isolation.

If they have something useful to say that will help me with maintaining, or riding my bike, i'll watch the video of it.

The problem right now for me is, like with gaming, every single person out there seems to be making youtube accounts, to post vlogs, lets plays, and all that other rubbish, thinking they're the next best thing to hit youtube and with only the intention of getting a partnership, so they can make money, whilst doing as little work as possible.

I feel that if i did something i enjoy for money, it would take all the joy out of it. It'd become a chore.

That's my view on it, and that's what has ruined the whole vlogging thing, it's not a little hobby anymore, that people do for fun, they just do it hoping to get money.

Ofcourse, this isn't aimed at you MadMax, so i hope it doesn't offend you.
