Jason Koertge abandoned his 5th Gen for a ........

I like his videos. I appreciate the honesty that comes across when he approaches things he doesn't know much about. I'll still watch them, but I'm less enthused without his T4R.

[MENTION=142164]shrub1[/MENTION] No one is trashing on the guy, what you see here is a by product of niche marketing culture. If you don't know what channels an "influencer" is on (geezus I hate that term, hence the barf smiley in my last post), you just don't know who most of these people are and what credit they actually have.

[MENTION=99702]jrandom[/MENTION];-They are trashing him and they have the right to do so, it's their opinion. Just don't say there are not. I've never said he had ton of off cred and I never said I know him. What I am saying is that the guy is harmless and humble and doesn't pretend to be something he is not. Don't you find that refreshing? I am not a die hard fan of his. I just watch some of his stuff for entertainment, nothing more.

100%

Meh. Once I caught on to the fact that he'd need 4 camera angles, a soundtrack, circling drone shots and a 10 minute preamble to pump gas... I didn't have any more time for him.

 

[mrblah]

Lol the guy may have started off as a enthusiast but by the end, he was a straight up infomercial.

Good riddence

Well one is not they (EDIT: at the time of posting : ). I saw one outrightly neg post. Everyone else simply "wondered" who this guy is, sarcastically, sure.

I don't mind him a bit, he is a nice fellow. He is using what is available to get him where he wants to be, good for him, I just don't really groove on the whole influencer method.

My know-&-credit remark was about influencers in general, not necessarily directed at anything you said, I should created a better separation.

All good.

Never could get into his vids. Not sure why.

He seems like a nice enough guy, but not my cup of tea at all.
He really does not know much and takes way too long to get to the point.
I trip off people who are all in on something and have a following then do a 180 and go off in another direction.

He had his 4runner for sale in the classifieds on this forum. To my knowledge I don't think he works or modifies his own trucks. He is primarily a video blogger and an infomercial for his channel/life Also reviews and peddles products. Smart guy, gets sponsors, makes youtube/instagram etc foot the bill.

He sold it months ago.

 

[BigCountryT4R]

I’ve been watching his YouTube channel for awhile now. He owns several vehicles including a 200 series that his wife drives.

I wonder if he’ll keep the Turtleback trailer now that he has the RAM?

Nope. He was selling it or sold it already.

 

[ZenArcade]

Maybe Casey Neistat will trade his boosted for a 4Runner?

 

[macscac]

pretty sure this happened a month + ago??

anyhow, who cares?

hes just an 'influencer' and following his other buddies down the path of buying the biggest rig on the planet and making videos.

Let him do him i spose

I think my influence is that my big toe nail that needs o be cut like this story :fish:

Dont hate brotha... dont hate... to each is own :hug:

 

[Fargone]

Based on a few of his videos I've stumbled across he strikes me as the kind of guy who loses interest in a project after he can't spend any more money on it. He should buy an old Land Rover.

 

[GripT4R]

So some random dude sold a 4 runner and bought a dodge? Why do we care about this?

I was just thinking, its quite amazing that this guy has four pages without a single post lol..

 

[Cymon]

The fact that there is a 3 page thread (and likely many more posts to come) on this only demonstrates the way this media culture works.

:nicethread: :noidea:

And I can’t believe I just contributed to it.

:doh: :frusty:
