Video Description:
On YouTube, a subgenre of content is people speaking their “based” thoughts while walking within woodlands. Popularised by Luke Smith before being “cloned” by other creators.
This video goes into those “clone’s” not being as “based” as claimed. Examples covered, include; Mental Outlaw (Nicknamed; Black Luke Smith) whose channel is now vastly bigger than who he’d “cloned” and Speak, Machine (Nicknamed; European Luke Smith) who’s a newer channel whose creators is looking to raise money to move off-grid and start a family.
These both have money as a motivator. Mental Outlaw outright creating a store front (Mostly drop-shipped stuff and print and demand merch).
The main point is no one can claim to “based” when uploading content exclusively to YouTube.
