Every photography Youtuber I come across seems to follow the same template:>wears a fisherman beanie>dressed in either boring vintage clothes or hiking gear in the inner city>no personality beyond street nonsense and gear faggotryUnironically where do they make all these guys? It's like a virus
They’re building a brand online and no one will ever give a shit about your photos. Ever.
Flat brim hats are a in now apparently. Particularly if you shoot film.
>>4316917It's people jumping on a trend and hoping to be successful. For some reason they believe that gear youtube is not saturated already. 95% of them will be gone in a year. 99% in two years. It's people desperately trying to find a way to quit their job. Not realizing that being a youtuber is one of the worst jobs imaginable.
>>4316917They need to try to make photography look interesting somehow. What should they do? Show their photos instead? lol

It's funny how you can break down YouTube photographers into two groups. Street photographers who look like how OP describes them and wildlife photographers who look like pic related, with no overlap. Like, I've never seen a bearded fat boomer taking street pics and I've never seen some 20 something zoomer with a beanie going in a woods to snap at birds.
>>4320659Older people have money and more free time than younger people... its that simple really. That guy has like a down-payment on a starter home worth of stuff if he bought it all brand new.
>>4320664Some of these zoomer influencers are rocking leicas and Hasselblads which while not as pricey as an end game birding setup still cost a pretty penny. Also, they seem to have plenty of free time to fuck around in down town shopping centers. I guess wildlife just isn't as trendy.
>>4320669I'm talking about the everyday person. Not an internet influencer. A company like Lieca will product placement their stuff with trendy young people who get attention. A company like Nikon will product placement with more mature and well known photographers I find.
>>4320659>not blocking all goytographer recommendations on jootube by clicking "do not recommend" and "not interested"
>>4320456not the same as everyone i irrationally hate, but the same as everyone else.

>>4316917Urban types are always cringe.
>>4320659I started go get into photography a few years back and i feel like i was the only young person who wasn't solely taking pictures of one thing. I did less urban photography, but i don't live in a city. I can't stand urbanite hipster yuppie types because they're usually faggots from the suburbs who are overcompensating for having not grown up in a city. I can't stand that gay urban identity shit. I understand our urban development sucks, but urbanites are tools. It reminds me of gay corporate shit at work. Their identity is being a faggot urban liberal.The US is the land of extremes for so much and it extends to this shit. They're overcompensating for our shit infrastructure. If i lived in Europe i wouldn't live in a major city, but it would still be easier to get around. These types can't fathom that. They have to be in the most urban areas with the most fucking noise and bullshit. Anyone who can't handle being closer to nature is a fucking psycho. These people want to live in fucking Courescant. Smaller European towns aren't good enough for them. Then these psychos want to tell everyone else what to do. Some faggot who can't handle being in the woods. Not even deep in a national park woods. Just the woods 20 miles outside a city.
>>4320716Show us the YouTuber sponsored by Leica
It's none of your fooking business.
>>4320751This guy >>4317011 is clearly sponsored by nikon, show me where it openly says that beyond him just using the equipment and showing the logo...No one on YouTube is going to openly say they're sponsored by a certain brand because YT would want their cut.
>>4320691but I enjoy boomers talking about demosaicing algorithms and I enjoy watching zoomers waste their money on overpriced pieces of plastic
>>4316917This is that case , with most of the arts Most people don't give a fuck about creating and making cool shit they just want to be perceived asan "artist" or a "creative" whatever that means As an ex sound engineer use to see all these "artists" with most "crazy" styles , I mean tattoos , green hair , "niche" band shirts ...And guess what they made the most generictrash imaginable While the semi autistic lowkey weirdos made music that blew me away They just want to be an artist not make art
>>4320761Cool story anon. Show us the YouTuber sponsored by Leica tho.
>>4320911Are you stupid or something?
>>4320515Has he ever taken a single good photo?
Most youtube "photographers" are youtubers first, photographers second. Once you realise this you'll understand why most of these faggots only talk about gear, it's easy content. If you actual start taking photos you begin to realise that gear matters a lot less than they would have you believe. I'd recommend looking at the videos of Tatiana Hopper, she mainly talks about photography and not gear, so that is a big plus.

I bet a few copycats "trying to make it" got slapped in the face when they met reality.>>4321341>If you actual start taking photos you begin to realise that gear matters a lot less than they would have you believe.Yup.. You need to take photos that people are willing to look at for more than a couple of seconds rather than focus on gear, but having an eye for the interesting is something many don't possess and as a coping mechanism they buy gear instead.
>>4323205You can do anything with a d70 and a 35mm but i would rather leave flashes at home, never carry a tripod, and not cross highways spending 30 minutes on just one photo ok
>>4323205gear matters when it gets unusably bad, like fuji worms and larp dials, micro four turds phone quality, phones in general, and self destructing snoys (cant take photos with a broken camera)just get ANY canon (preferably a dslr) and never have a worry in the world
>Check out my presets! They enhance every photo with the click of a button>It looks like fucking shit
>>4323228Presets are the biggest fucking scam.If you even know the basics of editing, you'll know that even self made presets rarely work across different cameras reliably.

>>4323205The bigger the camera the less normies seem to care about getting their picture taken. If you take photos with a phone people give you the dirtiest looks, but when I hauled an old VHS camcorder to a festival everyone was waving and smiling, jumping into frame to make a face, etc. Having a huge stupid camera seems to make public photo taking okay.
Don't forget the generic mid-atlantic accent and infomercial appeal.
>>4320728I think it's pretty worrying, we can sit here and make fun of their wank writing but the truth is a lot of people (women) out there think this is moving and good writing, and vibey photos and whatever. I literally did not believe it until I was it with my own two eyes.
>>4324870The irony
>>4326676It's awful writing, and the picture is just an ok snapshot. The general public is retarded. Better to accept it.

>>4316917They're targeting people who want to appear artistic by carrying around a camera while looking mildly bohemian.When I think about it, most people don't get cameras for photography itself...When you find a jaded pro with a potbelly talking about the time constraints and budget for a commercial shoot, you have reached peak YouTube.
Am I the only one who purposely avoids JewTube photography channels?I watched one guy I don't even remember who it was but he was a total goober and the feeling I get from most of these channels is people grifting off of a hobby and they don't know shit about it.I miss when PhotoshopR did his live streams, that was some genuine carnal knowledge until faggot mods ran him off.
>>4331807No. The only good channels have next to no subscribers and are run by pros who post once per month. Automotive channels have the same problem with everyone being shills or wrenchlet influencers.
>>4316917the algo works based on your browsing habits. says a lot about you.
>>4331629Niggerfrog
>>4331958I have noticed that on the automotive side, when Donut dropped the Probe video and completely botched everything about it I knew they were just grifting.Nolan is pretty cool though I ran into him at Bonneville and honestly anyone making a serious effort at Bonneville is a certified /o/tist, wrenchlets can't pass tech and they were out there running some flavor of roadster which is a whole different level of car autism over fixed roof guys.

>>4331807>>4331958The only one I enjoy is Simon D'entremont mostly because I'm a noob and he demonstrates what he talks about well, and the usecases even if his titles are clickbaity. His videos on exposure compensation, histogram, and metering types were invaluable for me starting out. Agreed on the auto channel part, even mightycarmods has gone to shit over the years, Garbage Time is really the only one that stuck to his roots. God speed you weird down unda' fellow. Other ones are probably Vice Grip Garage, Junkyarddigs, and Pole Barn Garage(peak jank) but mostly enjoy them for the long format stuff.
>>4332241>Simon D'entremontGreat educator. I'm following a tiny no-nonsense channel called The Photography Rebuttal. As for cars I only watch Harry's road trips, and Dave's Auto Center.
>>4316926hilarious considering all of their channels will crash and burn in a year after this shit stops being trendy again.

>>4320832Couldn't have been said better honestly. We're entering a new era, social media makes every normal think they need to be unique. As we all know, normals don't know how to have original thoughts, so they just shit out endless imitations of real art. They'll never understand and they really don't want to, it's all just an aesthetic to them, a personality trait. So fuckin obsessed with being different.

I do like Duade Paton's content at times, mostly the in the field stuff cause dude is just having a blast, and Ausie's have beautiful birds.The rest all seem gearfaggotry or streephotography related.
