    I always laugh when they say" The poster has XXXXX followers" What that tells me is they have XXXXX tools that believe their BS.
    Don't you have your own thread where you detail what you do everyday?

    ^Stumpy doesn't tell us to like, share & subscribe to his thread. His thread isn't monetized either. He also doesn't get sponsorships or try to sell us "lordships", pseudo Japanese knives, ridge wallets or VPNs.

    (to know more abt the lordships & knives, search for Established Titles scam on YT)

    Kidding aside, I think if you monetize a blog/ vlog/ IG or FB post, then that's when the rules change. I don't see anything wrong with having a blog or vlog & talking/ writing about your daily life or hobbies.

    Other members here have blogs. I remember one had a blog (outside of TD). He showed pics of his family & their farm. I've forgotten his username - I think he doesn't post anymore.

    Exactly Katie. My thread is for fun like Mendys and people who post up travel threads. If you don't look at it, read it or comment it's no skin off my back as they say.

    I must say though that there are many youtubers that have awesome channels that are very well done and informative plus they literally make a living from them. Good on them. I have three or four youtubers I follow, and they use a drone, and have awesome footage and up to date information on Thailand and different places.
    Not all youtubers are shit imo.

    Hmm, as I said above, many of them have over 100,000 followers and have great channels that they spend almost 100% of their time making and editing. They also promote certain sponsors and get money from that plus get free rooms in nice hotels from promoting them. I follow three or four people that have made a living out of youtube and good on them. Their information is good and well done.

    Agree. There are a couple of travel vloggers I follow and some tech reviewers also. I also enjoy this fellow from the US who does videos where he lets fate decide his lunch by rolling dice for bread types and ingredients. Kinda dumb, but kinda brilliant too, lol.

    Nice! I also follow some travel vloggers that are sooo funny, informative and make me want to travel soooo bad.

    RIP to the deceased. I see there are many youtubers that are exposing how insane this Leo person was. Read he was bipolar and was on all kinds of prescription and non prescription drugs. I'm sure an autopsy will be done.

    YouTube’s ‘Penis Enlargement’ Grifter Suffers Bloody Death in Thailand

    Leo Rex, a self-described “masculinity biohacker” famous for once declaring himself the “foremost expert in penis enlargement” on his popular YouTube channel, died mysteriously Monday inside an apartment in the coastal Thai city Pattaya.


    While local cops haven’t declared Rex’s cause of death, details they released paints a grisly scene that suggests the American influencer may have been brutally killed following a struggle.

    Police say Rex, who’s legal name is Laith Abdallah Algaz, was found face down in a bathroom, surrounded by cannabis, antidepressants, bipolar disorder medication, sleeping pills, and “muscle-boosting antibiotics.” He was naked besides a black shirt, had a black eye and still had blood “flowing from his mouth and nose” when cops arrived, reported Bangkok Business News.

    Pattaya’s police chief, Kunlachart Kunlachai, said Rex’s apartment appeared to have been ransacked, with items scattered across the bedroom and bathroom, according to local outlet ASEAN NOW.


    Rex’s body was reportedly found by a friend who entered the locked apartment with a spare key after he hadn’t heard from the influencer. Cops estimated he’d been dead for about five hours by the time they arrived.


    Sombat Kaewmulsuk, a captain for Pattaya police, said officers were checking security footage and conducting interviews, the Daily Mail reported.


    “We will be interrogating the victim's friends, and a woman who had stayed with him before he died,” Kaewmulsuk said. “We urge the public not to jump to any conclusions until a complete examination has been done.”


    Media outlets have reported Rex was either 34 or 35. He was a Colorado native who reportedly moved to Thailand after his ex-wife, Lucie Colomb, divorced him last year.


    In a request to have a domestic violence restraining order against her former husband last March, Colomb said Rex abused alcohol, drugs and was “extremely verbally and emotionally abusive” to her and their 1-year-old daughter.


    Colomb said Rex’s “abusive behavior” escalated when she became pregnant in Nov. 2021, especially once they learned the baby would be a girl instead of a boy. From then on, he allegedly “alienated” Colomb from her friends and refused to let her leave their apartment unless she asked permission, court docs say.


    In a portion of deranged texts submitted with Colomb’s court filing, Rex allegedly messaged her: “You should have lived to serve me instead of feeling sorry for yourself 24/7,” and, “I am happy with the way I treated you and believe you deserve much worse treatment...You deserve much worse. MUCH.”


    Rex, who ran the YouTube channel Leo and Longevity, had amassed 123,000 subscribers at the time of his death. Most of his videos highlighted bogus science that required disclaimers in each video before he dished out quacky advice.


    While the channel discussed topics like bodybuilding, experimental health supplements, steroids, and his experience taking different drugs, like psychedelics, Rex’s most popular videos were about his journey to growing a “supraphysiological” penis.

    As bizarre as it sounds, the channel’s most-viewed video was titled “How to Build a Better Penis” and had nearly a half-million views. In it, Rex told his followers he’d successfully grown his manhood two inches through a system of pumping and weights.


    Many of Rex’s videos were rife with misogyny, seemingly preying on sexually insecure men.


    YouTuber Jon Bravo, who just four months ago posted a video titled “EXPOSING Leo & Longevity” where he grilled Rex and called him a “con man,” reacted to the news of his old friend’s death.


    “He was my friend. We had a falling out, but even when I have a falling out with someone they're still my friend,” Bravo said. “I’m just really shocked so I don’t know how to portray how I feel right now…You don’t wish this on your deepest enemy.”

    Bravo said he’d asked a mutual friend to check on Rex just hours before he received word that Rex was dead. The YouTuber said he doesn’t “know what he was into over there” in Thailand or “what he was doing,” but he was “so shocked.”


    Rex’s family members and Colomb did not respond to calls from The Daily Beast on Tuesday.


    Pattaya police said they’re not listing a cause of death until an autopsy is complete. The U.S. embassy and Algaz’s family members have been notified, the Daily Mail reported.

    What fucking annoys me is the hoops we legitimate retirees and spouses have to go through every fucking year to remain here supporting our families and yet creeps like this can get to stay here seemingly on a whim without any likely means of qualifying under any apparent immigration rules.

    Fucking corruption.

    Just a Few Acres Farm is my fave YouTuber. The only one I look forward to seeing his next video. Pretty sure he’s around 250K subscribers.

    Edit … make that 350.

    Agree MM. However I just do not have the patience nor do I want to spend time browsing YT hoping to come across an interesting one. Most are utter crap and these guys are hoping to make a living on it and never really take on a real job. As Mike said a few posts back, they are 15 minute get rich types and there are people out there that will subscribe to anything. I do not live or sit in front of my computer all day and my free time is off doing things.

    But to each his own.

    ^^ cool I’ll check it out.

    ^ fair enough. The real stories of some of these full time YouTubers are interesting. A few that I follow had full time jobs as stockbrokers and great paying jobs, but were sick of the grind and stress and now are living a different life travelling the world and making money.

    Well, you're spectacularly missing the point there.

    Did you not read the thread properly again?

    Despite Jon Bravo's kind words, the deceased seems to have been a mean and angry nutter. Given all the crap he was putting into his body, I expect he was also causing trouble in Thailand.
