Honestly the kid makes good videos, I definitely vibe with them. That being said, it’s undeniable he seeks attention which is cringeworthy but I’ve seen substantially worse. What makes me personally have no respect for him? That would be right around the time I hear him slip in an advertisement on “logten pro” or whatever. I’d say filming an approved video for Envoy and then using that video to profit off advertising is the same as accepting a tip from a passenger.
I really have nothing against the guy personally and to be honest, have only seen his videos because people made such a huge fuss over it. What turned me against it was the videos being made during negotiations when things were really clicking. That should not have happened and if he is in fact advertising for things inside of a company-approved video, that is pretty slimy as well and should come to a quick halt.
I know the argument is that anyone could get "approval" to make videos like these, but in reality that is a lie. This guy fit the perfect image they wanted and allowed it. They certainly wouldn't approve me to make videos so it sets up this uneven playing field where some get to make extra money and others are shut out, not by work but by the companies policies. That seems wrong. If he wants to continue making videos like these while the rest of us cant or are not allowed to, perhaps he should jump out of the union and become a management pilot.

Hope all these youtubers are saving their loot. The fad may not last forever, and when they're no longer quite so young, fresh, and hip, they might get replaced by newer models. It is after all youth-oriented entertainment.

Depends on your market. There are plenty of successful Youtubers in their forties and fifties. Many Youtube providers are teaching a skill or reporting news or similar and don't have to be young or attractive to give good value to the viewer.
I think Tic Tok is the home of the young and stupid these days. Youtube is so 2010.

I just don't think this is accurate. Not only is YouTube certainly not solely youth-oriented, but it also isn't a fad. I am firmly middle-aged and I spend the majority of my time on YouTube when I am at a computer. So much useful information for my various hobbies.
