Gifted Hater

UK skater, skates UK spots horror! The Hater thinks all pros should be doing lines down El Toro stair sets at this point?

Although I obviously donā€™t agree with his hatred for Knox, I still find his points funny. The fucking Y and X axis graph was too nice :joy:

I havenā€™t watched it yet but it does feel a bit like punching down. Fair play have a pop at finance bros etc but leave our Tom alone!

Found the graph a bit basic American math (its maths!). Height good! Length good! Knox bad! A British graph would factor in more, like roughness and difficulty of the spot, ha.

This :slight_smile: itā€™s pretty tongue in cheek

Haha yeah I know what you mean actually!

Ad the bullying claims, GH has 100% been focusing too hard on Knox for the last year or so but I think he will say ā€œHow can I, a YouTuber, punch down on a pro skateboarder?ā€. Sometimes I donā€™t think he realises the power he actually has.

Anyway, we all just get a little triggered by his hate for Tom because heā€™s our guy. If he was shitting on somebody American I donā€™t think weā€™d care as much.

Nah, Iā€™ve been finding him more unbearable over time about ā€˜Americanā€™ stuff too but I would like to take him to a Knox spot and watch him get a line as a sponsored skater himself.

Heā€™s got a pointā€¦ :laughing:

I appreciate the lolz but it getting a bit old now. Point your audience at something worthy of cringe overload ā€˜hateā€™ to pay your bills now.

Aye doesnā€™t seem that genuine. Dog shite.

I mean itā€™s funny to an extent or was at first but considering heā€™s making a decent income off talking shit and has previously aimed at far more deserving candidates like Twat Pool, picking on a dad of 3 whoā€™s actually doing it seems a little lazy to put it very mildly.

I generally enjoy GH content but this level of repetition smacks of Beerics-level content exhaustion to me.

Sort it out mate.

I agree with you but I think heā€™s trolling people who like Knox. It seemed more like heā€™s dissed Tom in the past but white knights have made a big thing of it so this time he went all in just to really ruffle feathers. Hyper criticism for free.

Playing devils advocate because Iā€™m a fan of Knox, GH made a pretty funny case highlighting the pop shove it Enders and Tom going for width over length.

Yep Knox is one of the most legit, hard working skaters out there. He seems a strange target.
Also the fact GH takes freebies/sponsorship makes him even less relevant to me personally. If youā€™re taking money/product off someone in the industry, you are no longer 100% impartial in your opinions and criticism of the industry. Which is his whole grift (grifting hater).

No one is ever going to be 100% impartial, though. GH is getting a few boards from a relatively lowkey company. Heā€™s hardly Nike SB CEO.

Still think GH has value. This was a misstep, and kind of smacks of GH not understanding British skating (despite his mum being a Liverpudlian). On what planet is that 5-trick line easy?

Yeah again itā€™s a personal thing. The Nike CEO is not making YT videos slagging off the shoe industry, while being a part of it. As far as I know?

Industry outsider talks shit on the industry. Cool.

ā€˜Wait if we give him products and make him feel a part of what weā€™re doing, heā€™ll be less inclined to talk shit on us surely?ā€™

That there is what makes his shit talking pointless for me now.

Nerve touched

Not at all. I just watch a lot of other YT channels (like photography say) where they turn down deals all the time as itā€™d be compromising what they can and canā€™t say about the products they use. Even though itā€™d make life a lot cheaper and pay better for them and I respect that sort of approach. Keep the lines 100% un-burred and total transparency.

Yeah Iā€™m aware of that - doesnā€™t mean itā€™s still funny the 30th time though does it?
Ultimately he can do and say whatever he likes and so can I.
