He doesn’t care about the abuse. As long as some click (or even subscribe), and some will, it’s mission accomplished.

You can count me as one that won't click. I love his BS headline title - Confirmed BIGGEST Chevrolet CORVETTE C8 NEWS EVER Like he has some exclusive, oh please. Should be retitled Confirmed BIGGEST LOAD of C8 SPAM BS EVER.

I made the mistake of clicking on the video and expecting it to be something productive... that's my bad.

You forgot option 3: Complain enough and hopefully these annoying clickbaiters will get the idea and just stop. I know, far-fetched, but it might work.

Nope, they're just like telemarketers. They won't go away on their own.

I wonder, if he wasn't African-American, would he be abused as harshly as this?

Ah, the good old race card. Do you see Rick posting his videos here anymore? Do you see that creepy pedo looking dude with the blue C7 posting his videos here anymore? Nope. The forum got tired of their BS, just as we have with this guy.

Good to know. Thanks for citing those examples. Corvette lovers come from all backgrounds.

About the only use I have for YouTube is for DIY projects. In those situations, I am searching out information and they are providing actual how-to step by step instructions. I replaced a laptop screen using a YouTube video. I could care less what the YouTuber's race, religion or anything else is. These click bait types are just like telemarketers. Don't call me, I'll call you.

My read on it is if he were NOT African-American he would be treated MORE harshly. Everyone is afraid of being labeled racist (usually by white people like you) so they tread more lightly if there is the remotest possibility that could happen.

I don't care if he is green and ***** purple, these ridiculous YouTube click bait videos are just a load of BS. If you want to supplement your income with them, then do an information video that shows how to do something that most wouldn't know how.

Is this for real? Abused, are you serious? The guy, regardless of skin color, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, political affiliation, etc. spams the forum with his useless videos in a lame attempt to get people to watch his boring channel.
