    Well he has over 6 million followers, so apparently a lot of people do.

    I mean did you watch the video? He is talking about the particulates being produced from a GDI engine. The Tacoma was just in the background as an example.

    There is very limited content creation old white dudes can get on the Internet besides yelling at clouds.

    Most of his videos he’s just reading off vehicle spec sheets, and then giving his opinion, whatever the hell it’s worth.

    And you have to feed the algorithm.

    Since we’re talking about YouTube, the ones I really hate are the douchebags who wander around dealer lots saying how “Ford, Toyota, Dodge, etc. are screwed” and then making fun of the ridiculously high sticker prices.

    Right. I did watch the video.

    Because he intentionally pictured a Toyota Tacoma next to the word, “Deadly!”

    = clickbait.

    Excuse me, sir, can I help you buy this truck?

    No thank you, we’re Youtubers filming on your dealer lot, we’re kind of a big deal.

    I'm waiting for Sarah-N-Tuned to do a full Tacoma review- she has an oddball sense of humor but really knows her stuff. TFL is barely entertaining and Scotty is downright annoying. Ryan from Driving Sports TV is also a good source and has done some good Toyota truck stuff.

    Most of us guys that like Scotty are not going to say so because we are terrified that you Scotty haters won't like us. And then we won't have any friends in Taco Land.

    People feel smarter about themselves when they pretend they're an art critic.

    Nicely put. I would have said much more and not so politely.

    there was another car youtuber who stopped making clickbait titles after his audience voted on it. After about a week he had to stop because the viewers halved or something crazy like that. He was like, too bad, this is your fault lol
