Donegal traffic wardens

Dan does come across as a bit of a plonker, flatly refusing to see that his parking would restrict a wheelchair or pram, plus his choice of a smaller bay when larger bays were available.
There are many many youtubers who sole reisen d'etre seems to be to thrust a camera into people faces, be they police, bailiffs, wardens or joe public, knowing full well that it will cause a reaction, then they become like jumped up lawyers spouting off 'their rights'.

Irritating little pricks imho.

Clickbait springs to mind.

bit of a sweeping statement there!
 
Personally, if I parked up like this, got out to check and saw how much room I left on the footpath, I would move forward without any doubt.

Deserves a ticket? 100%
 
Exactly crazy support for them on Youtube going by the comments.Maybe these supporters are also dumb enough to contribute their cash to them through this paypal donation many youtubers seem to beg for. They are the ones laughing all the way to the bank being able to tour for a year all paid for.Maybe going by the support we are getting for the toilet thread on here it would be good to start a Youtube channel based on going around all the public Toilets in the Uk and Ireland at our convenience disposing of our cassette contents and gauging reaction from anyone we encounter at our Convenience.Someone doing this would make a killing in views from daft sods who would bend over backwards to throw cash at them(actually forwards as being shafted of their cash) Just like Dan and Mazzy are doing here as the Travel Trolls.
 
Not looked at the Youtube video but the screenshot but on by Wildebus shows enough to know who was in the wrong anyhow.

Different magnitude but similar mindset to the people who get pulled by the coppers then get really anti with them. When it all goes pear shaped and they wind up in the clink it's the copper who's in the wrong for some reason. Now I might be a coward but if a fella with a baton and a taser at his disposal shouts 'Jump' I would not stop to ask how high.

Cheers

Think you maybe right. Just watched one of the other videos. Trying to fill up using a hose without a correct fitting for the tap. They finished up with a 5 ltr bottle and pouring it in through the trapdoor in the floor. They certainly don't seem to know much about their motorhome like how much water it holds. Wife keepson going on about the yellow water :) .. Think I will give the rest of the videos a miss.

As for blocking the path. He certainly did but it would be nice if the Warden could just have said something.

For all we know the warden might have. We are only hearing one side of the story.
 
These two have been around for ages there videos are sometimes a bit tongue and cheek. he’s got a rubber face like mr bean and she’s all dumb blonde and tits like Barbera Windsor . Kind of dumber and dumber it’s all a big act to get viewers on there u tube channel I defiantly wouldn’t take there stuff to serious. That confrontation with the parking warden just filled in a few boring days of content on there U tube channel think about it how many of us have watched it so as far as there concerned the video has had loads of views so it’s done the job intended for them. €40 in fines but ten times that back from u tube.

but how many turned off before 10 seconds of adverts played? no money if that happens.

Really is this how youtube works?

that is my understanding at a high level.
Basically you need a certain level of subscribers and views before your videos are "monetized".
However if you have certain things in a video (e.g. Copyrighted music) it gets "de-monetized".
If you ARE in the money-earning category, when Youtube shows an advert, you get a share of the revenue Youtube earned from, the advertiser, but only if advert is allowed to play for at least a minimum time (which I think is 10 seconds).
As an aside, Youtube is owned by Google (well, actually Alphabet) and they control and manipulate all this to Youtube Creators to maximise their (Youtubes) profits. Just the same as they frequently do to sites showing Google Adverts, and will often cancel a sites revenue rights just before a payout (they did this to me a few years ago and you have no right to appeal).

because of all these variations, the only people who know how much a channel earns is Youtube and the channel themselves. One thing for sure, it is not as much as people imagine!
Here is the info for TravelTrolls - https://socialblade.com/youtube/channel/UCd2_Z8IE9V2THqtdzNVQsIg

At a guess, I would think it will be significantly towards the lower range as most people skip ads (I certainly do!) and Youtube randomly de-monetize a channel for no reason.
So some handy pocket money for sure, but not an income.

I don't think earning any kind of living from Youtube is very commonplace at all and for individials is pretty well limited to people who actually put a hell of a lot of work into the videos or happen to hit a certain sweetspot (like the 6 year old whose parents post toy reviews).
 
Good explanation Wildebus, it has kicked into touch any thoughts I may have had fo earning a bit of pocket money via youtube.

I was actually going to do a youtube thing on how to pack everything into a mankini, it could have been a winning formula, there again, maybe not?
