It's just to address the strangely hyperactive rumour-mill surrounding this guy. The theme goes like this: if you criticise him in any way, it's because you're envious because he's rich. This is a thing that's getting posted in Youtube comments a lot. People have written that he's got money to burn. They have asserted these things:
- wasting £15K is like buying a cup of coffee, to the likes of TMF, and "having money is fun"
- TMF owns a massive fleet of cars, and an airplane
I doubt these claims, and I have my suspicion that they might come directly from him (he has called his detractors "poor and stupid" before painstakingly erasing his steps). So he thinks we're poor, and stupid. Poor because motorbikes? Stupid because we can't see through his tactics? Not all of us. A lot of very positive but unsubstantiated rumours surround this guy. Did he spread them himself? I really do wonder... In one interview somewhere, he claimed that half his income comes from Youtube, and the other half from his pension as a retired project manager. Project manager? Really? I mean, we only have this project to judge his project management skills, but whatever...
It's all incited my curiosity. At the end of the day, take bikes out of the equation and it's just standard Instagram influencer stuff, except for the guy's age. I don't know any retiree who has to resort to such activities to sell keyrings and hoodies on a website to support their income (I say "support" but I'm more leaning towards the idea that he retired from whatever he did in order to do Youtube full-time as a primary source of income - he's free to come and clear up any misconceptions about this but it looks to me like he really, really needs it), but it's a free world. However, the claim that he's magnificently rich needs a closer look because it's all based, rather suspiciously, on the rumour mill. There are kids around my way who hire Lambos for a day or two, and cause a nuisance around town on occasion. But they are not rich. |
