OK, when it comes to Morgz there's a million things I could rant about.

Why why on earthdoes this ENGLISH family say dollars when they are shopping in English shops, spending pounds Confused

The kids love them and I will admit they make me laugh sometimes but it drives me crazy!

They're at the poundshop and they're calling it the dollarstore Confused

Maybe the audience is majority US-based?

TheDarkPassenger · 17/02/2020 10:35

That would annoy me too. But youtube has a very American culture.
My kids say trash can because of it Hmm

Beaniebeemer · 17/02/2020 10:37

Drives me wild. I’m dying to block the channel from YouTube.

I have huge admiration from them making so much money from these videos but they are absolutely nutty 🤣

Everyone on Youtoob has talk American.

Lots more potential followers in the US than over here - and that means potentially more sponsorship/product placement, as they're appealing to the larger market.

For example, if I wanted to become a YT home cooking type of person, I wouldn't use Imperial measurements - I'd use cups (with a metric conversion in the blurb), as that would appeal foremost to the most lucrative market, rather than putting them off because it's weird old fashioned British measures that aren't the same as US ones.

I'd piss off a few older UK viewers, but, frankly, they aren't the people who advertisers are going to make millions off and I won't make money from ads or 'partnerships' on the basis of a handful of 50 year olds earning fifteen grand a year - the wealthy American homemaker is the one I need to appeal to for advertisers to be interested.

YABU to watch it in the first place.

BEANS AND BURGERS.

BubblyBarbara · 17/02/2020 11:34

Morgz mum is my spirit animal

ComeOnTesco · 17/02/2020 11:35

Beans and burgers.

🤣 Big Gill does make me laugh with her Big Macs.

Maybe I'm secretly a fan and I can't handle it

I want to punch the tv if my dc puts Morgz on, his mums voice hurts my ears. Nice house though.

Nowayorhighway · 17/02/2020 12:10

God I hate this twat and his shrill Mother. It’s all fake, they say it to appeal to Americans.

ComeOnTesco · 17/02/2020 13:03

Their house is gorgeous.

At least they’re not the Norris nuts

PegHughes · 18/02/2020 10:08

Oh God.

I'm just thankful that the Morgz/Share the Love/Youtub3 Family phase seems to have passed.

The fake 'happenings', over the top 'fear' and stupid pranks were so annoying.

I hate this family with an absolute passion. That is all.
