AFTV

Sorry to have a go actually, just that neither of us see what Robbie does a a bad thing, must have got lost somewhere, my apologies maybe I didn't explain too well.
That's cool man, get the impression Robbie is respected but questioning why he continuously gives guys who are negative a platform... I think it's because what they say is probably mirrored by many immediately after a game so he airs it. Might be wrong tho.

Infighting is never pretty and people tend to lash out which is understandable.

Main reason I joined this site was because of the videos from the other day and didn't understand it, just seemed to me like misplaced rage.

Robbie is cool he just needs to rein in and control DT and more TROOPZ...they take over when on camera...the latest video with TROOPZ he was talking about his **** getting hard totally unnecessary and you could see Robbie was uncomfortable but it’s his channel and he needs to set some markers and guidelines

see tbh I often joke about that sort of stuff... I mind an Arsenal goal was uploaded to a porn site and it was the funniest **** ever. They aren't professional broadcasters, they post raw emotions after a game, you have to expect that kinda content.

This is where I think how much AFTV/Robbie makes is relevant, the two main culprits of abuse/negativity are DT & Troopz however they both bring in the most views which translates to more money for the brand & Robbie, this in my opinion is why he turns a blind eye and for me, I understand why, if I was in Robbie's position I would allow both of them to say what they say so I kept on getting the views (paid).

As an outsider I don't think what DT or troopz say is that controversial.

Us here just have anonymous banter anongst ourselves here, comparing this forum to AFTV is such a false equivalence..
But ironically, you have to be a mong to think AFTV is representative of our whole fanbase, right? And then you’d also have to be some sort of emotionally disturbed person to even worry about what fans of other teams think of you... irrespective of whether it’s AFTVs influence or not, right? I’m sure I’m making sense here.

Back to the quote that I ****ed up though... Not sure how you can say this board during the bad times is any better than even the very worst that AFTV has to offer. We must have about 30 DT’s and Troopz’s here. Don’t make me start putting names up. I might have to nominate myself!

How many times even here lately do people keep saying " arsenal fans are the worst in the world" etc ?

Why are people suddenly pretending they don't care what other fans think of our club ,supporters and so on? Football is tribal, if you support a team you care about what other football fans think. You wouldn't care about winning otherwise. Be honest with yourself .

Yeah, and that's piss poor, because it's allegedly Arsenal fans who frequent this board who are saying it. And we all know why it's said, don't we? The vast majority of the time it's a few ****kickers who aren't happy about the treatment their favourite player receives, isn't it? There's always an agenda behind it. I don't think you condone that, but then why would anyone condone our whole fanbase being tarred with the same brush? How juvenile is it to suggest such a thing? And insulting to all the fans who live in this country who actually support the club. Like really support the club?

Tbh, it's only recently that this 'aftv are making us look like silly fans' thing has come about. Before that, all I was aware of as far as how we are perceived by other fans, is stupid **** about how deluded we're supposed to be... or something... apparently. We've never cared on that level before. We've always cared more about how the club is perceived through it's performance on the pitch. Yes, it's also embarrassing for our fans to have to endure the chants at a match, but thats part of the game. You go home and continue with your life. But to honestly give a **** about oppo fans tarring us all with the same brush because of AFTV... ? Tbh, I don't even think people are really think that's true. I think they just think it's a valid excuse to want them gone. Thing is... it isn't :lol:

Saw a graphic going around a few days ago that showed AFTV makes £300k a month. Robbie's a genius tbh.

is it really that much. WOW.. Could be hearsay tho.

Thing is its such a simple idea that anybody could of put together think about it he has zero editing to do with his vids unlike other youtubers like KSI or Pewdiepie who probably put hours into cutting and editing before a Release.

Robbie just interviews a handful of fans and uploads straight away all Generating about 200k views each probably topping 1 million per match day plus all the other bit and bobs he does.

I can understand why he has his regulars like DT and Troops as these guys always gets him 400k views per interview.

But when people say he makes money off Arsenals failings do hold a valid point. Go to their channel on YouTube search videos by most popular and tell me his most viewed videos.

All rants after heavy defeats. People bashing the club, Slating Wenger ect...

Robbie seems a lovely guy and best of luck to him but some of the people he has on that channel are complete pricks.

there was a video after we lost to Chelsea in Baku and some of them left a live stream running by mistake and you can hear them all laughing saying how they’ve profited after a loss by Receiving £200 in donations.. No sadness or Remorse their team had just been destroyed 4-1 in a Europa League Final

Robbie's making money off our ****ness? Who's fault is that? :lol: He gives the club more than any of us do too, but that's beside the point... I assume the same people who have an issue with that are also getting up in the faces of the funeral directors and shop assistants who sell umbrellas :lol:

I have no problem with Robbie at all, he struck gold, fair play to him.. In his position I'd do the same tbh..

I'm talking strictly numbers though and it doesn't add up.. 300k per month when most of the videos are sub 200k? No way. I can see somewhere around 50k+ which is still a lot of course. Maybe it's including sponsors and other stuff idk.

In my opinion I feel Robbie takes playing devils advocate too far. He sometimes almost behaves as a troll. I watched the podcast with DT and Robbie kept harping on about the risks with Arteta as Manager.

We all know it's a risk we get it. But we've got a complete rebuild job. Arteta is manager now, why question his position? Accept it and support him.

I don't think he realises how much of an impact the channel has on supporters around the world. He needs to be more responsible, his channel is like an amplifier, it can amplify positivity just as much as negativity. No doubt Wenger's leaving was an indirect result from the channels presence, just like the Kronkes coming out and being more active and spending money.

Right now his channel needs to focus on positivity.

In all honesty , he's making money the way so many have in the past , seeing an oppurtunity and going for it , Some of our directors , Levy as well have made some serious coin from the diamond trade. There's real exloitation invovled there. At worse Robbie is stealing from the Kroenke's .

Look, Robbie's guest like DT and Troopz are byproduct of us being ****e on the field. That branches out to a need to scapegoat. They are just over-passionate fans. Robbie to his credit, gives a platform for fans to have their say. although over the years it becomes that he profited from these negative views.

Other fans eventually will feel hurt when they connect the dot that AFTV gets profit from the negativity of the club in fact, we are also jealous that they are doing well financially even though the team suffers while the rest of us mope at the club's sorry state as well as personal state.

Tbh if Robbie does not exist I am sure someone somewhere will start a similar channel, whether its from our club or others and judging by the trend, these channels will continue to be created like fungi growing on a damp wood. Because the environment dictates so.
