Troop has a couple of vlogs with 500,000 views. You would think a little effort on content and title once a week to increase views 50 fold would be worth it.

Try "Cockroach in the Fries" and see how many views you get.

There is no downside to swimming in the sewers.

If you sort his videos by most views you have to scroll a long way down to find any from the last few years. Most are from 4+ years ago

I think that even if he did come up with better titles most people that are interested in poker vlogs are already aware of him and have consciously chosen to watch others that they prefer. While he might pick up a few extra views I think he's kind of missed his opportunity which was back when Neeme and Owen started when he could have been a front runner. Nowadays there are so many poker vloggers to pick from. He also probably has another issue with younger viewers as his demographic will be very skewed to middle aged people. Can't see many people under 30 watching his channel

You're way off on this. Most of Trooper's audience is composed of people who are, at best, very very casual poker players. Many of them don't play poker at all. Trooper transcends poker as his vlogs also draw the gambling crowd, the Vegas tourist crowd, and the middle-aged rant and rave watching crowd.

Yes, his target audience skews older and more blue collar. This is a huge target demographic that is largely ignored by the plethora of 20-something YouTube stars. Because his vlog transcends poker, I'd argue that his upside potential far exceeds that of the other poker vloggers. Of course that potential will never be met for a plethora of reasons including watery spaghetti.

What do Troop's vlogs have to do with poker?

Poor coverage of his game especially compared to the real poker vloggers and absolutely no post-production work.

His vlogs are LV travel-oriented and cheap food.

Much larger audiences and no need for any post-production.

A travel-centric vlog and a food-centric vlog name/content have a chance of increasing viewers.

A big problem is Troop looks like a baby seal waiting to be clubbed on camera.

Co-hosting with C would greatly expand his base.

i played locally (connecticut) with a guy that was the trooper Doppledanger (minus the huge gap between his nose and mouth) I wanted to take a pic but forgot to.

much better player than the troop...Im shocked he won 3 buy-ins. why isnt he shoving OTT with the set? lmao he's so bad

LOL you need to be vaxxed to go to most of those events, and well...

Best keep your opinions of The Man to yourself. Look for trouble, then find it, son. Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun. You make one move and you're a dead man, friend. A long, hard ride downtown to the bottom of the jailhouse. The Man don't take no lip.

Rampage is a shill for PokerNChill now.

Unlike our anti-hero (the Trooper), Rampage is always trying to make a buck.

Cameos by Ryan DePaulo, Rampage, Matt Vaughn and Matt Keifer

The phrase "The die has been cast" comes to mind.

Not even the combined efforts of Casey Neistat, Brad Owen, and Andrew Neeme, could change the trajectory of 'the Trooper's' viewership numbers.

Opportunity came knocking on Trooper's door 5 years ago, he simply doesn't have the personality for it.

That said, he will always be our ante-hero.

Always liked Rodney Crowell..... not lookin' for trouble, tend to only go to Louisiana on business invitation..

"Two Girls, One Cup", if you want to swim in the sewers..... got the producer 4 years.

"Whatever you do, don't search for "2 Girls, 1 Cup" after reading this. I did, to learn more about producer Ira Isaacs being sentenced to prison for making the viral video. And the automated images Google includes in its results may not be something you want to see today, or any other day.

I've never personally seen the entire clip. But the number of reaction videos on YouTube, and even Stewie's reaction on "Family Guy," gives you some sense that if you watch, you'll want to watch with an empty stomach."

yet another case of a repressive regime imprisoning its artists

All the mask talk has been moved to the mask thread, where it belongs. Thanks.

Whoever started asking mask questions originally, we have a FAQ thread and a covid/mask thread.

I would like to take a moment and commend the mod for trying to keep this thread Covid free.

We should have more important things to do around here.

Like the Trooper for instance.

A-f'ng-men

Brad Owen with a wild vlog.

He was in a good game

That one guy's stack in Brad's VLOG. Was that like $60k??? Rolling deep for a $10/20 game.

No Luck? I guess the dog is a better player.

The thing about luck is that when you don't believe and lose you are a loser.

Latest Trooper Results:

Will be interesting to see if Trooper's clickbait thumbnail can get this Vlog over 10,000 views. If a puppy can't get Trooper over 10,000 views, all hope is lost for him.
