What does everyone really think of kickingmustang

[Colin Allen]

No doubt, after all jedward made £6 million in the 12 months after their first TV appearance, Katie Price another example, been a multi millionaire more times than enough, how many "stars" of towie like Gemma Collins are raking it in. 

Are they all exceptionally talented ?, or is there a generation of gullible sheep out there who hang on their every syllable & feed their talentless egos by continuing to buy their worthless tat or advertising streams. 

Is KM the problem, or his thick as shit following ? ?

Or both?

There have always been gullible sheep out there; the likes of George "Beau" Brummell and the other dandies were earlier incarnations of the "famous for being famous" phenomenon.

I’d love to think this was true, but the spunktrumpet has almost 3M subscribers.

C,mon , own up!! 
He’s making a few quid off of his unsavoury antics 

The thing is

His last video - posted up 3 days ago has almost 135k views already

Which averages out to roughly 45k views per day

I wonder if you need to declare income from YT to the tax man?

(figures roughly calculated using this website)

https://influencermarketinghub.com/youtube-money-calculator/

You are conflating two entirely different things.  His alleged financial success through YT does not negate his many failings as an airsofter and, more importantly, as a human being.

One does need to declare YT income; however, that calculation is deeply flawed as it assumes that the initial number of daily views is maintained over the year.

I wasn’t justifying his action in the slightest, merely showing that he is funded by his subscribers who follow his fowl play and are suckered in by his editing.

Lets face it, the quantity of videos he has with massive viewing numbers , one of which is creeping up to 8M having been uploaded 19 months ago, along with the rest of his back catalogue, he’s earning decent money from it all combined. 
 

This isn’t a justification for the cock, but shows his motivation to shrug off what we think about him.

What does he care when he can pay for a new car finance off it every year!

He probably has quite a cushy easy job, but supports his income off his channel.

Still a vile rodent though!

I did not say you were.

Is he really making that much though? I'm sure it was posted elsewhere that he drives a 20 year old sack of shit

This is current ranking on socialblade.com. It uses actual figures to generate approximate income just from youtube views and doesn't take into account any advertising revenue. Even on the lower end of their approximations, he's doing very well!

Probably because it gets keyed at every site he visits

And looking at his Twitter, I'm pretty sure he rents wherever he lives. If one was making that kind of cash, surely getting on the property ladder is a number 1 priority?

Not every one wants to be on the property ladder!

To be fair, if I was as disliked as much as him, don't think I'd be ready to commit to a permanent residence, or turn up at a site in a fancy motor ?

I doubt he is upping sticks every year. Only a fraction of a fraction of the general population knows who he is.

And given how much he complains about landlords ("parasites" in his words) and rent and such like, he clearly DOES want to be on the property ladder.

Ah, so you watch him to know this stuff?!?!? ?

Uh, it's on his public Twitter. Like I mentioned before. It's not a big mystery.

 My point is that you know that from his social posts you are a part of his followers! You are feeding him his much needed social interactions. lol

A-are you serious? I don't have to follow or interact with his internet content in any way to observe and draw conclusions from them when it's all public. On your basis anybody in this thread who has observed KM's nonsense (99% of which comes from his own social media) is "a follower" and is somehow contributing to him carrying on. I kinda resent that.

 

[DanBow]

A - No, I wasn't being serious! We can all rejoice in our shared dislike of him.

I can certainly agree with that.

Not being on the property ladder is not a viable long term plan for the vast majority of people.

 

[Cannonfodder]

If social media is his only income then I doubt any mortgage lender is going to accept that as a stable income and lend him hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Also if the figures posted earlier in this thread are accurate even then it wouldn't be enough to get anything bigger than a shield box in Essex

Worst part of it for me is the people who emulate him. There have been a few ghillies at Worthing Airsoft recently who have been spawncamping a LOT. Last game day I heard from my friend that the game after I stopped to get my m249 sorted our team got spawn camped by a bunch of snipers and nobody could go anywhere. It's a shame, because there are people like me who have been running a ghillie probably longer than he's been in the hobby, and certainly longer than he's been a thing on social media, who are disincentivized to play the way we want to because we don't want to be associated with these idiots.

I don't think I'll ever stop, because I refuse to concede the ground and I'm incredibly stubborn
