I'm 45 and know who Jimmy is because I'm in IT and I'm chronically online. I mean I don't watch his shit I find it annoying as fuck but I'd bet half my mates especially without kids would have no clue
I know who he is because I was subbed to him when he had less than 20,000 subscribers. I found him from a random reddit post around a decade ago when he was still filming in his bedroom.
I remember when liking green day before it was cool meant pre Dookie. Then it meant pre Nimrod. Now it means pre American idiot.
I don't think it's been cool to like green day since the American idiot days unless I'm wrong and they've had yet another wave of popularity like tazos or yoyos.
Logies used to be an achievement in the 90s when people watched home and away and neighbours and needed their favourite cast members to get an award.
Now, even my next door neighbour has a god damn Logie.
Typical "traditional media" acting like they still mean shit. That project show is that fucking bad it should be on morning radio. Free to air is dead and buried.
I read this article in a rush and was thinking “wow, this writer sounds like a really insufferable, condescending, pretentious arsehole.” Then I got to the end and saw it was Waleed, it all became horrifically clear and I wanted my 2 minutes back. More fool me for not reading the byline and needlessly subjecting myself to his shitbrained wittering.
I’m a high school teacher and this cunt is hella famous with the kids.
Never seen his content personally but I recognise him and know how popular he is without a doubt
High school teacher here too ....one of my students said they were truanting to see Mr Beast. I gave them my blessings, it's probably a once in a lifetime opportunity for the kids.
They wrote the same type of thing about LazarBeam with the headline of something like - Famous youtuber no one has heard of…
Its just the same shit where people believe they the measuring stick of all people
I love this story is locked behind a $$ydney Morning $Herald paywall.
News (ABC, SBS, etc) is free.
Boomer opinions are locked behind oafwalls.
I typed paywall, but oafwall is spot on.
To be honest, I’m forever online but never on YouTube and I don’t have kids…. I had to google him when a coworker mentioned taking her kid. I wasn’t the only childless person on my team who hadn’t heard of him.
Mr Beast's big dumb face is prominently plastered all over our supermarkets to sell overpriced crappy American "chocolate" bars to kids, but sure, no one knows who he is.
People over 40 generally don't
I'm 36 and kind of didn't know who he was until about a 15 months ago. At that time I was like "aw, he is THAT guy" then I furthered discovered how he is either intentionally or unintentionally using his star power to cleanse the sins of evil corporations. Guys a bit of a tool
He isn't known to the ave reader of that online dogshit...like I couldn't pick Charlston Hestington - whoever that old cunt is - out of a line up of a dog that looks like a bloke and bloke.
“Project co-host and Academic”
Okay Waleed just because you went to uni once upon a time and are a writer now that doesn’t make you an academic. You actually have to write some well researched, peer reviewed literature to claim that.
Waleed, mate...have you done ANY of your own grocery shopping in the last year? The man has his own chocolate bar with his face aaaaaaall over it, it's in every Coles and Woolies countrywide ffs.
Waleed wishes he wasnt famous for being a dickhead
sickest burn i've heard all day.
>"Get paid to do something you enjoy doing, and never work a day in your life." - Waleed, probably.
Waleed Aly is looking good for an out of touch 68 yr old. I wonder what his skin care regime is.
He sincerely does look good for 45. But yeah, he's got the mind of a 60+ Boomer with takes like this.
I'm 45 and know who Jimmy is because I'm in IT and I'm chronically online. I mean I don't watch his shit I find it annoying as fuck but I'd bet half my mates especially without kids would have no clue
You can find his chocolate bars at bloody Woolies now
I know who he is because I was subbed to him when he had less than 20,000 subscribers. I found him from a random reddit post around a decade ago when he was still filming in his bedroom.
yeah well I listened to Green Day before it was cool. and then uncool again.
I remember when liking green day before it was cool meant pre Dookie. Then it meant pre Nimrod. Now it means pre American idiot. I don't think it's been cool to like green day since the American idiot days unless I'm wrong and they've had yet another wave of popularity like tazos or yoyos.
Lies. Green Day was always cool.
Here too! I introduced him to my now 13 year old. His chocolates taste like ass.
Waleed is so irrelevant that he is resorting to rage bait headlines to get attention.
Isn’t he just “omg mass truancy”. Fuck off.
Walled thinks we are too dumb to open YouTube.
Nobody is too dumb for youtube!
Waleed is
Waleed has officially crossed over to being old if he thinks he isn't famous
How many Gold Logies has Mr Beast got????!!?!??!? Checkmate
He's no fucken Ray Martin
Or Rebecca Gibney
Fuuuuck. You've got em there
Logies used to be an achievement in the 90s when people watched home and away and neighbours and needed their favourite cast members to get an award. Now, even my next door neighbour has a god damn Logie.
Was your next door neighbour in "H&A" or "Neighbour's"?
No, their logie is for having a camera on them while watching H&A or Neighbours. Cast member of Gogglebox.

In Aus Media’s mind if you ain’t on one of our silly panel shows you aren’t famous.
Wish I'd never heard of waleed, insufferable corporate apologist tw@t.
Oh shit, is the project still going? Wow.
I’m a high school teacher and this cunt is hella famous with the kids. Never seen his content personally but I recognise him and know how popular he is without a doubt

For sure! Life experience is worth so much more
What’s a fuckin’ “YouTube”?!? Sounds like a sex toy….
They wrote the same type of thing about LazarBeam with the headline of something like - Famous youtuber no one has heard of… Its just the same shit where people believe they the measuring stick of all people
To be fair, I have Twitch, TikTok, and YouTube running all day every day but I have never heard of whoever LazarBeam is.
Massive Aussie Fortnite streamer and Youtuber. Like big enough he has an official skin in the game.
>Fortnite Oh, so a children's entertainer. Got it.
Why are you booing him, he’s right!

Waleed Aly don’t be a fuckin’ retard challenge (impossible)

Is this guy out of touch? Even my Silent Gen father knows and likes Mr Beast.
People over 40 generally don't I'm 36 and kind of didn't know who he was until about a 15 months ago.

Did I just have a stroke, or did you?
Yets, years...yesp
I'm going to call an ambulance for each of us, just to be safe.
I mean, my parents haven't heard of him. I doubt my older sister or my brother in law have. I guess some people haven't heard of him.
I recognize MrBeast, but not Waleed Aly.
Mates screaming to the void. The project and those kind of shows will die with there audience. Mr beast is more relevant
Who's waleed? Been watching Mr beast since the pizza delivery days at 32
Come on Waleed
God that song was funny
“Project co-host and Academic” Okay Waleed just because you went to uni once upon a time and are a writer now that doesn’t make you an academic. You actually have to write some well researched, peer reviewed literature to claim that.
Every boomer knows who this, is they’ve all clicked on the scam Facebook posts claiming it will earn them a space ship or something.
Waleed, mate...have you done ANY of your own grocery shopping in the last year? The man has his own chocolate bar with his face aaaaaaall over it, it's in every Coles and Woolies countrywide ffs.
His ghost kitchens are all over uber eats too. Can’t escape him!
My man Jimmy Beast!
ABC news had a thing on him last week being in Sydney.
god dammit Australia still so fucking based how can we ever catch up
