The New Age of Bodybuilder - The Social Media Bodybuilder
« on: March 29, 2016, 09:16:20 PM »
IFBB Pro Justin Compton has 6000 youtube subscribers. This guy has 25,000 youtube subscribers (he looks nothing like the thumbnail, just goes to show you that everyone these days relies on photoshop for clickbait). They'd rather get famous on social media than accomplish anything in real life.




We are in an age where people would rather watch videos about a goober nerdy looking guy eat his food for the day than get advice from a top pro bodybuilder.

Exactly.

The OP qualifies for dumb post of the year (so far). Why does this guy have more subscribers than Justin Compton? Um, because they average family man has absolutely no intentions of looking like Justin Compton, so why would he seek advice or follow him.

Why is it so difficult for the OP to understand that most men do not want to look like Justin Compton, hence why they do not follow him. Really, its not too difficult to understand.

LOL. He has a baby's head in top of a deconditioned adolescent's body.

FWIW, YouTube actually pays pretty decent money for content. Wouldn't surprise me if this dude was making a little pocket change to "supplement" his lifestyle. Get it? Supplement?

I'll be here all week, folks.

More views/subs, more $$ you get from ad revenue.
There are some stipulations, like you can't bash other youtube partners and stuff. And they also look at your subs to views ratio. So if you have a ton of subs but very little views, you won't get paid or paid as much since you may have created 1000 accounts to subscribe to just yourself and try to rig the system.
That's my understanding of it. It does become a full-time job for most people, and in the end they get rewarded very decently. A good example is Kinobody (Greg O'whatever his name is), from youtube alone he built a whole intermittent fasting empire lol. Drives around in a Lambo and a Tesla, lives in a very nice house. Only thing is, he's probably the douchiest, self-absorbed asshat on the internet. But I feel like the douchebags are the ones that do the best on this youtube thing.

Yeah one needs a strong belief in what there doing which is usually the case with these douches, as there self critical faculty is absent.

I disagree. Reading all the transhuman, part human/machine, artificial intelligence threads in getbig, the new generation of self worshippers are doing everything according to the plan.

Secondly, who the hell wants to actually step on stage to pose? ehh...
