I imagine somewhere deep down they would feel a bit uncomfortable for the free trip anyway and then having him play mind games..
And on the second hand I wonder how much Zalfie actually get for free daily because them forgetting their wallets is a regular occurrence, which hints that they don't normally even need it..
Definintely. He was probably expecting another freebie. And it does happen to him all the time, "the lovely people at blah recognized me, they're watching the videos and gave me xyz for free".Citrine wrote:Or, regarding paying for the meal, he was just mindfu*king his friends.

So annoying when he does that!!!

Surely there's a big portion of the day missing? I'm wondering if they just slept / watched Netflix at the hotel .
The whole trip seemed so awkward to me. I wonder if it's him paying for everything in order for them to have "fun" created a weird dynamic.
Probably been discussed before but I don't understand why he buys so many cameras for his awfully shot, extremely boring and monotonous daily vlogs??????!?!?!?! It seems like he gets a new camera every few bloody months and theres LICHERALLLYYYYY no difference in anything. And then he buys all this other equipment for his main channel that he'll never start up again because he LIOCHERALLY is not respected within the YT community. And he's been putting it off for a long time. All he has is his vlog channel for his teen & preteen viewers. He's not going to start his podcast or w/e tf it is, because if he really wanted to he wouldve already. He won't be doing gaming videos any time soon because it'll take too much time and effort and hes just sooooooo busy going to his house-sized office for a 'meeting' about putting his logo on a a coloured background for a pop socket.magucken wrote:
And at the same time he makes a big fuss when he has to buy a new flogging camera for 500 bucks. At his income. Dude, that's your work tool. I bet he can deduct those. It's like a carpenter whining about having to buy a new hammer after using it for so long.
I'm a hobbyist photographer and videographer, and for the life of me I can't understand why he does buy so many cameras. The speed that camera technology evolves is rather slow, there has been some advancements in stuff like 4K frame-rates but for the content he produces, he could shoot it on an iPhone and a cheap stabilizer and nobody would really know the difference. I think what he does is watch other YouTubers and sees what they do and shoot on and then assume that the camera they use will make his content just as good, when in reality, it doesn't do jack.GothMoth wrote:Probably been discussed before but I don't understand why he buys so many cameras for his awfully shot, extremely boring and monotonous daily vlogs??????!?!?!?!

It's a play on his "inspirational philosophical quotes" just like the famous philosopher, Aristotle.

Licherally thinks that a camera is what he needs to have good content instead of putting in effort & creativity to produce good contentscruffythebone wrote: I'm a hobbyist photographer and videographer, and for the life of me I can't understand why he does buy so many cameras.

Yeah I think you’re right. ^^^^ anyways they were eating at the restaurant in the hotel. He could of charged it to the room. Just sayinnnnnComolemntfou wrote:He's a compulsive liar.

The way he made a big point of paying for meal almost certainly means he wasn't paying for it.

But that would take time and he has so many meetings to go to - it's easier to buy buy buy.sid wrote:If you bought a £800+ camera and it broke within the first 2 years, a normal person would contact the vendor/manufacturer and see if they could repair or replace it. You wouldn't throw it in the bin like a baby and immediately head out to Jessops to buy a new one.
This just clearly shows his monetary values, and lack of common sense...sid wrote:If you bought a £800+ camera and it broke within the first 2 years, a normal person would contact the vendor/manufacturer and see if they could repair or replace it.

Why doesn't he get insurance for his gear if he is so careless. Or become an adult and get a credit card so you would get some protection for your purchases.
....or maybe invest in a case for the G7XII? or maybe stop hitting the lens to say "goooooodnight"

I feel like it’s a mystical tent we talk about in the Alfie thread that I’ve never known the origin from. I must have skipped all the blogs and Instagram posts about it. Can someone please explain?
