Its strange because random old people channels produce great content. Its just that, most of them don't try to be annoying influencers. I follow some old dude who repairs his motorcycle and writes music. He doesnt talk, and its great.
- mrweasel 6y agoI follow some guy in France who restore random stuff, he doesn’t talk and there’s no music, it’s fantastic.
- antihero 6y agoIt's so refreshing to have content that is actually just good content and isn't some trainwreck of seeking attention from an increasingly more vapid audience.
- rchaud 6y agoVery true. I came across a channel run by a 60 something man where he sits in his music room, puts on a record and talks about what that piece of music means to him, when he first heard it. I usually don't watch the whole video as it can get a bit dry, but otherwise it is nice to just see someone expressing themself without shilling their Patreon or using clickbait thumbnails and titles like the more commercial "personal" channels do.
- pjc50 6y agoI miss https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmond_Carrington https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmond_Carrington 's show, which was basically that on BBC radio. Him, his cat, and a huge collection of old records. (BBC radio is at the very opposite end from begging for likes; once someone establishes a show, if it's not in a highly contended timeslot it can basically run forever no matter how obscure or unfashionable it is, until the presenter dies)
- anigbrowl 6y agoDoesn't that sort of depend on the channel? eg Radio 1 has always been Obnoxiously! Trendy! Pop! Music!, Radio 2 a lightweight blend of news, musical standards, and entertainment, Radio 3 classical or music and Very Serious Discourse, and Radio 4 intellectual topics, politics, and and quality news, little or no music. I know there are a few other radio channels but I can't remember what their focus is. And of course all of these channels have variations of their own depending what time of the day/week people are listening.
- rchaud 6y agoRIP John Peel. Remarkable how many iconic punk/indie/weird bands he introduced to the mainstream.
- glandium 6y agoRick Beato? He's 58.
- mos_basik 6y agoSounds like my kind of thing. Got a link?
