So many Seth haters. :) If you put yourself out there on social media, then it is fair to take heat. However, he's a nice guy with a great family and he's a really good runner. I only have time to watch about 25% of his videos, but I really do enjoy them as a flatlander dreaming about the mountains and I think he is a respected independent voice for shoes. Sorry, I just wanted one positive post if that's even allowed. :D
Wrong. He is a locally good runner that excels at niche events with little to no competition. He fancies himself a storyteller, fitness guru, social influencer, and portrays himself as a positive everyman. The reality is that he is a thin-skinned narcissist promoting himself as a paragon of all manner of virtue much like a televangelist. He is a largely absent father. He treats his wife as an accessory at best and an annoyance at worst. His grasp of the outside world is limited. His nutritional and training acumen are virtually non-existent with his proclamations on both topics being both ill-conceived and borderline dangerous. He is nice on camera but often lashes out against valid criticisms. If you kiss his backside, then he tolerates you. If you challenge him, he gets snarky or he runs away. Seth is all about Seth. His viewers and subscribers, The DGR Family, are just cash contributing rubes and he has very little concern for any of them.
He is not respected by anyone in the footwear industry. His large number of subscribers net him product for reviews but, some manufacturers have started to significantly curtail access to products or just straight up ignore him. His reviews are often non-sensical, arbitrary, and offer very little substantive information for the target consumer. Many brands will bring other YT influencers to product rollouts and trade shows. Guess who doesn't get a press junket? Most product seems to be provided by Runners Warehouse and Seth gets a kick back through an affiliate deal with that retailer for any sales generated by his content.
If you like his whole contrived, hyperactive, and cornpone "Awww...shucks!" act, that's fine. I can see the appeal for many. However, Seth is not an expert on training, injuries, healthy habits, family life, nor is he a particularly talented content creator. He gets some good visuals from time-to-time but most of his output is stream-of-consciousness rambling, verbal diarrhea, fallacies presented as scientific fact, hyping himself, and, as of late, begging for funds while doing utterly pointless product comparisons. Just remember this the next time you find yourself trying to recruit red blood cells, suffering from the inevitable lactic acid attack at the 20 mile mark of a marathon, or trying to replenish your glycogen stores with only nuts, eggs, and salad greens.
Wow, imagine if you put this much though/effort into your job...
There is a healthy line between constructive criticism and hateful trolling. If you don't like him or the channel, you can choose not to watch. I don't watch 75% of his content, because I don't need to hear anything about all the shoes I'm not even wearing.
Every so often someone comes along and (I think) believes they are the first person to introduce this line of thinking to the thread. You aren't, and you're just bumping the thread to the top of the front page, so other people can become invested and join the ranks of regular commenters. And there's always the irony of someone consuming content that isn't intended for them (this thread), telling us not to consume content that isn't intended for us. Just give in, drink the haterade, and start roasting the dude with us like you really want to.
For what it's worth, I barely have to watch any of his content to participate in this thread. It's hand-curated for me. It's actually the only way to get a digest of seth's intolerable rambling and b-roll footage, so really his fans should be checking this thread too, if they're time-pressed. You're welcome.
Lovely, I can tell from the hateful negativity in some of your posts what great husbands, fathers, and co-workers you must be. :D There is a healthy line between constructive criticism and hateful trolling.

I mean we can also chose to watch and discuss what we see. We dont have to watch in admiration. I choose to watch some and find pleasure in discussing the circus.

Nothing I say is meant as constructive criticism, it is unabashedly hateful trolling. It's all true though, deep down Seth simps know this.

Ha, I do recognize the entertainment value of some threads like this, but there are several guys on here who have some MAJOR obsessive mental issues. :) I'm sure there have been past similar threads on Seth too, but just this one has over 1,750 posts and only 2 now are mine. ;)

"oh shoot, my first attempt at trolling the troll thread was summarily dismissed. I'd better imply mental illness"
Like take your own advice and feel free to stop consuming content that bothers you. Or, if you plan to stay and try to troll the troll thread, you should take a couple days and write some better material. Stuff that makes me laugh even though it's a zinger. Not this hurr durr stuff.
This thread has only one rule: write good material or GTFO.
Yep. Every 3-5 pages of this thread we get one or more of the following:
1. If you don't like his channel, don't watch, it's not that hard you guys
2. You know, by watching his channel, you are just giving him more views, and supporting him. Haha! Checkmate, seth haters!!!!
3. There must be something wrong with you if you are trashing Seth this hard, some of you seem to have mental issues.
All wrapped up in an attitude of "I am the first person to have had such thoughts"
very amateur of you to reveal all the secrets how to troll the troll of trolls out of the gates. you could have milked this another few pages and your comrades enjoyment level would have been enhanced many multiples. Seth is better than 99.9% of all runners out there, but your thread skills are like a balding 50 year old running 27 minute 5k's at the fun run.
Seth, I buttered all the doorknobs to my house (Land O' Lakes brand). The doorknobs are so greasy and slippery to the point that I cannot leave the house to go for a run. It's just too hard for me to do. Seth, could you help me with this issue?
The current top comment on today's video is pretty great.

Who has major obsessive mental issues??? Come on, come on…. doorknob time!!!
hahahaha you say "illegal drone use video for commercial use" and then post a link explaining local laws, which right in the preview says "Drones are allowed in Colorado for recreational and commercial use"
Again, DRONES FOR COMMERCIAL USE IS NOT ILLEGAL. How do you think aerial shots in movies, documentaries and sports coverage are done? What about realtors who put drone shots of their houses in listings?
There's plenty of real material to zing him on, don't delegitimize this legendary thread.
agilesamus 15 minutes ago Seth, inspired by how you eat eggs while driving, I decided to take it to the next level and eat eggs while RUNNING. I was on the treadmill doing so, and watching this awesome video of yours, but the eggs spilled on the treadmill. They seemed to plug up the conveyor in a nasty way due to all the butter I used making the eggs. To make matters worse, I couldn’t turn the treadmill off cause my hands were just soaked in butter. I jumped off the treadmill, but couldn’t exit my garage / home gym cause all the door knobs were just coated in butter! I tried to text my wife for help, but she must’ve been busy raising my 18 screaming children, and didn’t respond. Eventually, the police had to come and de-butter the door knobs to get to me. They charged me a small fine due to all the illegal drone footage I’ve been taking. Would you be able to send me some cash to help cover this? I’m incredibly embarrassed and am running low on eggs.
