Been watching some reaction video channels on YouTube video. Some of these guys get 50k-100k views, and all they do is watch a rap music video on camera and talk about it. Maybe they drop their canned intro at the front of the video, but there's no real editing required. Insta cash. Can pore out several videos a day if they want to. Starting a running youtube running channel for money has got to be one of the worst ways to make money on youtube.
Saw that our boi actually replied to a few YouTube comments today. Mostly 1-3 word half-ass answers (e.g. "Amen", "We got this", "Right on") but better than nothing. The guy is absolutely reading this legendary thread.
Biggest winner of this whole saga is SAGE CANADAY, who is no longer LRC's favorite loud-but-highly-subpar runner to spank.
"I just got the new Nike AlphaFly Next% 2! My wife and I are trying to have a larger family so I thought that I would wear them during our love making. I didn't feel much difference but Truly Beloved said that I finished much faster than usual. I am a little confused because she didn't seem happy when she said that. I guess she just doesn't understand performance? Anyway, I will try to do a steasy tempo threshold vert run in them this week and let you know how it goes. I suspect that they will last 472.62 miles soooo...a 5.3/14 for durability. Alright, let's goooo downtempo and sideways!!!"
The man never fails us. His shameless requests of DEE GEE ARRR get me every time. He just tweeted this out…
”Any proficient writers out there in DGR land? Looking for some copy writers for the website, specifically with running shoe reviews (for now). Maybe we can barter in new shoes 🤫 for you! More updates soon, stay tuned. #runningshoes”

Such a bum.
Wow, this guy is firmly against paying people for their work. The logo, website, reviews..wants it all for free by exploiting his followers. Asshat.

He’ll pay you in shoes that are used by him and are the incorrect size, but you’ll just have to be happy with his sacrifice to you. Just like when Seth gave his family member some old Next% from him in the wrong size and made sure it was all caught on camera to showcase how much of a philanthropist he is.

He absolutely does not give a s*** about his followers. They're just things he uses to try to maintain his lifestyle. He's like one of those mega pastors.

This post is SPOT ON. This is what makes Seth and TL so insanely frustrating to watch. You can clearly tell they are learning as they go, yet have the gumption to preach to the viewers about it like they are experts.
As somebody who had it (a real case of PHT), Seth sounding out the "proooxiiimaaal hamstring tendiiinooopathy" really pisses me off.
side note. We havent seen "SETH FROM DGR FAMILY" in a while, we're due for a check in post Seth!!!
He's a strange little man who's posted something like 2200 vlogs on his YouTube channel. Pretty good trail/mountain runner who consistently makes the most idiotic training choices on the planet, films all of them, and has roped his extremely Catholic family into the proceedings. May have once been endearing (depending on who you ask) but is now a charlatan with a little YouTube cult.
Eats tons of eggs (sometimes while driving), cuts them with scissors, and otherwise seems to subsist entirely on salads, scant amounts of chicken, and the occasional almond, illegally flies drones, reads YouTube comments (and probably this board, hi little buddy!) and does squats on top of 14ers to "recruit red blood cells," talks to his wife in the most condescending and patronizing way possible while she pretends to listen and treats him like one of their six children, and he may one day unwittingly film himself crashing his car on his way into the mountains after a night of three hours of sleep.
The whole thing is turning into a spectacular trainwreck and it's oddly fascinating.

His current situation is a result of not allowing any objectivity into his life. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that he has a fan base who feed into his methods. Anyone who expresses criticism, no matter how constructive, can simply be labeled as a “hater” and ignored. We all struggle with this to varying degrees, but most of us have someone in our life who is willing to pull us aside and say “Look, what you’re doing isn’t working. Take a step back and think about things.” Most of us also don’t have a fan base that we have to appease to keep our income afloat.
I hope he takes this time and uses it as an opportunity to reflect on his approach to training and life in general. I also hope that if there is anyone in his life that is willing to call him out, that they’ll do it and he will actually listen. This is likely a key point in his career and running endeavors. The problem is that the correct way to come back from this is likely antithetical to the approach he wants to take. Time will tell.
Seth is becoming a black hole for others Charity and Generosity. It's all a one way street. and he expects his audience to feel worry about supporting his family, why else would you blab on about having to tighten your belt publicly? Guy talks about "pinching pennies" openly, while he has a $300 a month Starbucks habit, give or take, plus all the eating out with TL. I've gone from really liking the little guy to seeing right through him.
Makes me sad actually, I'm of the same faith, though not traditional Catholic. He brings that Creflo Dollar, Kenneth Copeland Word of Faith false veneer vibe to a running vlog of all things. In that whole Word of Faith teaching, you're not allowed to express sadness, disappointment, and normal human emotion. Always have to pretend like everything is fantastic. All this does is create people who come off as hypocrites no one can relate to. No one likes a plastic person.
Now we know why he hoarded those shoes in his garage. He said it was for "comparison" sake for his vlog (Uh huh), to compare annual iterations. Now the truth comes out, those shoes are money in the bank and he's willing to use them as currency in lieu of cash payment.
I can't believe his first reaction to being sidelined and having free time galore now is to try to hoodwink the "DGR Family" into free labor for his own personal gain.
Go adopt a local inner city Denver school track and cross country team Seth, or your old Buena Vista High school. Donate some shoes, have a fundraising drive so we can donate to one or more of these teams. Giving is where it's at Seth and you should display that if you're going to wear that religious scapular front and center on your neck.
Running has given you so much, use your platform to give back something besides platitudes. Your platform itself is a gift and perhaps its a test too?
Quite sure Seth reads this thread, if so, block off some/most registers in your basement so the AC air gets directed upstairs better instead of wearing bathrobes in summer to keep warm. Might be able to raise the thermostat a notch and "pinch some pennies", the cold air will make its way back to basement anyway.
