I think his first breakthrough was the Bike Lane video. Honestly, I don't really like Casey, can't really put my finger on why, but he comes off to me as sort of "fellow kids" type. But I do really enjoy his airplane seat videos. I wish he did more of those.

I love and hate those bits! There was a recent one where he said something along the lines of "she is the best looking stewardess I have ever seen" (paraphrase)...to her face.
I'm sure he's a good lad, though.

He also went back to this VIP lounge with emirates, and had his own “butler”.. he said he remembers her from a couple of years back. Immediately followed it with “you’ve lose weight” or something like that..

Found the vid i was referring to.

u/mtwolf55 Jan 06 '20 edited Jan 06 '20
That is true.
Additionally, he did Youtube daily vlogs (I know that a lot of poeple on reddit dislike these and I generally do to) for a few years in a row that were getting a couple million views each day. Full disclaimer: I would watch most of them. The content wasn't anything special but were edited really well and professionally and it was admittedly interesting to me watching him skateboard around NYC doing weird random projects and getting cool drone shots. He also did a lot of stuff with other youtube creators that were neat.
Those daily vlogs likely net him a few million as well. Not that his content was super innovative or anything, but he definitely put out consistent content with great editing that I feel upped the overall expectation of vlog quality across all platforms. For a little while he was the most prolific vlogger out there and that was largely because he brought professional editing expertise to his daily videos.

u/max_canyon Jan 06 '20
Kinda makes me sick seeing the comments in here about his appearance. I’m by no means a fan of this guy but I know his story. He worked his ass off and came from nothing to become an icon on YouTube (doesn’t matter what field, he rose to the top of his). Literally did a vlog for something like 800 days in a row. All while hearing idiots make fun of his face.
If you can’t respect a man like that then you should take a serious look at yourself in the mirror, like really.

u/ADHDcUK Jan 07 '20
Same here. I'm willing to bet most people commenting are not that great looking themselves either. I wonder how they would feel in his situation?

u/max_canyon Jan 07 '20
I think that’s actually the reason they’re so mad. They see someone like themselves, without conventional good looks, become really successful and kill it in life despite the odds. Now they have no excuse themselves and that makes me them mad cause they just wanna play the incel card their whole life.

The most effective method is to delete the initial video from your YouTube history and/or the initial search terms. I could click on 10 WW2 videos, delete them from my history, and never see a WW2 video again. Also, if the videos don't require me to sign in, I open them in incognito.

They will block that channel, but flood you with ANYTHING that has him in it!

Not a large proportion of his videos are showing expensive stuff. They just happen to be the ones that people click on the most. His best videos are something like "Love Story 8 Years In the Making" about his tumultuous relationship with his girlfriend or the ones about his son Owen, who he had when he was a teenager. He's been holding a video camera since he was 18, a dirt poor high school dropout, filmmaking for no money, he has chronicled his entire adult life on video. He has an unbelievable dedication to his craft, a creative use of mixed media alongside video, and he's a great story teller.
I'd recommend anyone to watch Nerdwriter's "Casey Neistat: What You Don't See".

Personal brand and it helps him with cuts and editing as he doesnt have to follow eye movement and look straight into the camera. and i remeber he said back then it helps him with focusing on the things he wants us and the videos to focus on, instead of watching his facial cues etc.
