No, in response to your innacurate comments about her e.g. "trustafarian".

What an odd comment.
Bhud wrote: | You say you've been married for 20 years, and you're one in that circle of Venus-worship. Well, good luck to you. |
No, I don't worship her; I like her, and I enjoy her channel. I don't know what you find so unbelievable about that.

I'm not going to share someone's personal information, to satisfy your curiosity.

I couldn't care less whether or not you believe me. Or that you are unable to see that some people live differently from you; that you wouldn't have the bottle to do it doesn't mean that she hasn't.

Even if she was single, my wife wouldn't look at someone as creepy as you. Maybe try the inflatable kind.
Bhud wrote: | No, I didn't. I wrote in very general terms. You immediately thought of Itchyboots and sprang to her defence. |
You weren't speaking generally. It's there for anyone to see that you used the word 'trustafarian' to refer to Itchyboots. That you try to claim otherwise now is pathetic.
Bhud wrote: | You see, she doesn't have dreadlocks, even if she has all the other characteristics of a trustafarian. |
She doesn't; you know nothing about her.
I really must go, now. But I'll grant you the last word, if it means so much to you... |

While I'm sure that daring to not join in the chorus of Venus-worship says a LOT about me and it's very important that you take time out and fill me in about everything it says, I also feel it's important to point out the disingenuousness of your truncated post above. Let's look at when you joined and when you started your rage-posting here.
You joined a month ago (in order to spam someone's Youtube channel when the opportunity arose, correct?)
You didn't make a single post here until yesterday. Your interest in bikes is such that no introduction was necessary, on your part. No need to talk about such irrelevant things, eh. You waded straight into a knightly defence of your favourite Youtuber. You claimed, repeatedly, to be that person's friend. You claimed to have special knowledge about their finances. These claims proved to be false.
Quote: | No, in response to your innacurate comments about her e.g. "trustafarian". |
I haven't edited any posts. Look back and tell me in which post I said she was a trustafarian.
What happened was, I wrote that I disliked trustafarian Youtubers. You, being a "friend" of hers or not, dropping her first name here and there, connected that with Itchyboots. Well, if you say so, and:
If the BOOT fits...
Quote: | No, I don't worship her; I like her, and I enjoy her channel. I don't know what you find so unbelievable about that. |
It's the backstory I don't find believable, and moreso since you decided to ineffectually wade in with your claims of special knowledge. I suppose you've already done your world tour having sold your house and are back in Blighty now, having landed softly on your feet with a million Youtube followers. Completely normal thing to do, eh? Why, who could possibly doubt a story like that?
Quote: |

Once more, claiming falsely to have access to someone's personal information. You're basically saying you know her finances but don't want to share them here. Well, who would you have to be, to know her bank balance? You would have to be her, or her accountant, or her banker. Being a "friend", as you claim, doesn't cut it. Not even my family members know my bank balance.
Quote: | I couldn't care less whether or not you believe me. Or that you are unable to see that some people live differently from you; that you wouldn't have the bottle to do it doesn't mean that she hasn't. |
As I've said before, taking a holiday by motorcycle doesn't require any particular "bottle". Your sense of perspective is way out of sync.
Bhud wrote: | Even if she was single, my wife wouldn't look at someone as creepy as you. Maybe try the inflatable kind. |
I would like to try the inflatable kind but it's more expensive than bringing your wife a bottle of Blue Nun.
Quote: |

You saw someone writing about trustafarian holidaymakers being worshipped for nothing on Youtube by sad sacks. You then immediately connected this with Itchyboots, your "friend"! Some "friend" you are! And now you're insisting I was referring to Itchyboots, as if my post couldn't possibly refer to anyone else! Some "friend!"
Quote: | She doesn't; you know nothing about her. |
YOU know nothing about her.
Quote: | I really must go, now. But I'll grant you the last word, if it means so much to you... |
Oh, it means the world to me. Don't let the door hit you on the way out (unless you have a 6-foot cutout of your favourite Youtuber on it, in which case have fun). |

This is demonstrably untrue, and there for anyone interested to see. Your original post (in response to the previous two which were explicitly about Itchyboots) used the word "her". That's not a term that it would make any sense to use to refer to trustafarian Youtubers generally; it was, quite obviously, a reference to her i.e. Itchyboots. |
If you insist that since I used the word "her" I must have been talking about Itchyboots, well, what else can I add to that apart from that you have a really, really low opinion of your "friend".
You say, there is only one female trustafarian Youtuber, and her name is [YOU FILL IN THE BLANK].
You seem just a little bit slow.
Quote: | It's embarrassing that you'd try to squirm your way out of that, now. |
You are embarrassing.
I'm not squirming out of anything. You assumed I was talking about Itchyboots (as you keep making clear, there is nobody who could possibly merit the label of "female trustafarian" Youtuber apart from Itchyboots in your view), and I picked it up and ran with it. Why not, eh.

Three times, four times, last post, really really really, this time?
You walked straight into the trap and you aren't walking out with your dignity. |

One can easily make a living from that, but the reality of Youtube is, it won't happen for most people. They would just end up losing everything if they tried walking in those uncomfortable boots. There is no guarantee of views unless there is, a lot of help and expertise has to be garnered in order to stand a chance of becoming a Youtube celebrity, and there is a lot of planning and calculation involved behind the scenes.
The major problem with channels like that one isn't even that some people watch it and enjoy it for the wrong reasons - it's that the unspoken reasons why it became popular in the first place present a misleading picture of what leads to success in real life. It's the stuff behind the scenes, the stuff you don't see behind the edits, the team and support and backup. Unfortunately, while it's probably meant as sort of escapist fantasy entertainment, it sort of resembles reality TV a bit more (i.e. has little to do with reality).
Quote: | She did mention selling her house etc in a Q&A she did some time around the end of her trip from buying the bike in India back to the Netherlands. |
She may have said such things but I have doubts as to whether it was the whole truth.
Quote: | She's enthusiastic, or at least acts so well you think she is. That's the draw of the channel. It's not some boring twunt waffling on about specs, some teen/20 something kid thinking he's a badass, someone talking about mundane dross into the camera. She's making an epic journey, shows fantastic sceneery, and actually has a clue how to edit a vid and balance interest and informing her viewers. |
Of course, we all enjoy Youtube as entertainment. But one look at her latest video has hundreds of comments from people who don't know her wishing her safety and health in the midst of the corona virus. That's a bit sad - none of these people know her, they probably all claim they do, and she doesn't even know they exist. That isn't her fault but more a sort of planned outcome from Youtube popularity. There's nothing naive or accidental as to why they're all posting these things (not just the "you have the most lovely blue eyes" ones from the Beds stalker types either). Sure, there may be interesting and entertaining things to watch on her channel.
Quote: | Veneration? Not by a long shot. But yeah, decently entertaining, irrespective of what bits she has. |
Could be, yes. But I do wonder about all the other motorcycle travel channels that never got off the ground simply because they weren't fronted by a blue-eyed blonde woman. There's that motorcycle adventures guy who shares a lot of decent footage and really good adventure motorcycling tips. He gets a tiny fraction of her views, of course. So many hidden gems that we'll never get to see because of the Live Laugh Love effect. I'm not saying she can't be entertaining or have good footage, but that her popularity does not come from that. |

OK, you claimed to be her friend. That was a lie. Yet you claimed you know all about her finances. When asked for details, you ducked the question over and over. So, you were lying.
As I said before, her accountant, her banker and herself would know all about her finances. A "friend" wouldn't. As you aren't her friend, you're her internet stalker at best, or else you are her.
Now you're denying you are her, and you've more or less given up on pretending you know her personally. So which is it? Are you going to finally just admit you're a liar with fantasies about a Youtube personality?
