Peachy Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Great to see TT120 voting options this year in the Hornby Magazine Industry Awards. Maybe one of our lot (TT120 Specific YouTubers) might get a nomination next year? Although apparently you only need to make vanilla content, buy 10k subs, show a bit of flesh and you’re on the list? 🤔🫣🤣 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rallymatt Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Quality over quantity. Last year ‘YouTuber of the year’ was won by someone who absolutely slated TT:120 with genuine hatred. Voice of the hobby? Errr no. Rob (little wicket) definitely should have been in the nominations, although Pam Stains is no stranger to the carpet…. Will it be red? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dBerriff Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 (edited) Now I have to show my ignorance (edit: again). The flesh bit I understand. 🫢 But a 10k sub? I agree that Little Wicket should be on the list. Edited September 6 by dBerriff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skelton Junction Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I’d guessed it meant at least 10,000 subscribers so that the sponsors of said awards can mine the data for potential customers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skelton Junction Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 An audience is an audience but I do wonder how many emails have to be sent out for 1 customer to be found. Probably in the hundreds of thousands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted September 6 Author Share Posted September 6 (edited) FYI if someone’s YouTube data shows that almost all their subscribers come in tidy units of 10, then they’re buying. And where you see minus views in red, that’s where YouTube takes down bought/bot views so they don’t have pay ad revenue. No prizes for guessing who’s data this is 🤨 Edited September 6 by Peachy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTSR_NSE Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Considering the YouTuber being alluded to avoids negativity & actually seeks to promote & encourage new people into the hobby (particularly an under represented demographic) hopefully this thread can itself avoid becoming too negative! Personally I believe that anyone who seeks to act in a damaging/destructive/negative way towards the hobby is fair game for criticism - however I would question if allegedly gaming YouTube’s algorithms quite fits in that category. I do agree with one part of the first post however - that hopefully dedicated TT:120 channels will soon be included in the nominations! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_watts1 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 OK, I'm stupid, but are you referring to Dawn Quest? https://www.youtube.com/@modelrailwayquest/videos Because I think she has some quite good videos. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted September 7 Author Share Posted September 7 Dawn? Yes, I agree she’s very positive about this hobby. Like she was with her wellness coaching project. And her Children’s healthy eating scheme And her Online financing company Traces of which are hard but not impossible to find….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without being negative to her videos, I just didn't gel with her, a bit too professional for my liking. After seeing that list of previous then that may be the reason. I have seen a couple of TV presenters a bit like that, . . . this is my latest 'hobby' to earn a living. Good luck to them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy tt Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 have i missed something what's going on what as healthy eating got to do with TT 120 .
