It's always been clear to me that he's just jumped on Racing in an attempt to be an influencer by farming engagement. I found out that he tried this in another industry before racing.

I just can't fathom why people can't see this? It's not like the content has any insight in it.

I too find it baffling. Perhaps people just want to believe too much. No illusion, no thrills.

Horse Racing seems a very weird thing to choose if you have dreams of being an influencer. I have no idea if he knows what he's talking about as I don't follow racing but i still find his content amusing. It comes across to me like he does have genuine enthusiasm for the sport even if he's trying to milk the exposure and make a living out of it.

He has some knowledge of Racing, but has just played on it heavily. When you look at the content, it's not about Racing or any insight; it's LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME.

This is normal, though, for engagement of this type. The content isn't as important as the engagement. Doesn't matter whether you like the content or not; it's just that you have an opinion on it.

You see the same thing in other industries; it's a numbers game. If you can get eyeballs, you get more eyeballs and stand a chance of monetising it. It's a modern sort of metric similar to TV views or newspaper readers. If you can get the eyeballs, who gives a f**k about the content.

Fair do's, he doesn't claim to be good at anything and his bio states: -

'The Best Content In Horse Racing History. I Changed The Game'

So he isn't claiming to be anything other than an eyeball generator.

I'm surprised that people think it's the right thing for racing. There isn't any depth to it, and the gambling aspect of it is very irresponsible. Which I find a bit alarming.

It's so hard to explain to people what I do and to give us any credibility, but it's much harder when all influencers think the way to get views is to film themselves 'aving a couple on some nag and shouting at it during the race.
