Who are the best auto social influencers?

I think it's a lot harder than than imagined. It takes a certain skill set to be truly successful in that field, and one little slip up and you're toast for life. Hardly a way to make a real career.

I've known people who have had to work with her and her husband/ around them...

Said they are absolutely dreadful people. They also treat staff and waiters terribly.

Also corroborated by another YouTuber account and they said they will never... Ever... Do anything with them... Ever.

 

I would second the seen through glass channel.

That guy has absolutely beautiful episodes. Seems extremely genuine. His quality is fantastic.

The other guy who doesn't get enough credit...

Nico rosberg. His YouTube channel is killer.

 

I can not stand the arrogance of daily driven exotics. That channel irritates the **** out of me.

The funny thing is I've heard nothing but nice and humble things about Dave. I have heard he is a genuinely good guy. His channel to me puts off the opposite vibe.

 

Doing a YouTube search for that channel, the search results looks entirely like a bunch of whining videos:

1. FERRARI CALLS & DEMANDS: STOP DRIVING STRAIGHT PIPED 599!
2. MY NEW $250,000 FERRARI BLEW UP!
3. DAMON IS GONNA FIRE MIKE ESSA OVER $10,899 FERRARI SCREW UP...PART 4
4. HATERS THREATEN I PAY $25,000 & SILENCE DISTRICT ATTORNEY IN LAWSUIT UPDATE
5. LAWYERS BREAK THEIR SILENCE IN LABORING HATERS LAWSUIT!
6. MY ATTORNEYS REVEAL CRAZY BREAKING NEWS ON HATERS VS LAMBORGHINI LAWSUIT...
7. DEVASTATED MY LAMBORGHINI SHUT DOWN DURING GUMBALL EVENT...
8. TRUTH ABOUT MY MCLAREN 720 GTR CRASH... *CAUGHT ON CAMERA*
9. Guy SMASHED My Lamborghini Windshield... How Much $ to Replace?
10. FERRARI'S LEGAL TEAM SENT ME A LETTER ABOUT MY CAR...
11. TWIN TURBOS DESTROY $82,899.00 FERRARI V12 ENGINE.... Part 2
12. CROATIA BORDER POLICE DENY LAMBORGHINI ENTRY... *NO GREEN CARD*
13. They took everything I have...
14. BRITISH POLICE SEIZE MY LAMBORGHINI AT CUSTOMS!

And then I gave up. Every title appears to be a stupid disaster that becomes a sensational pity party video where he's the victim. Zero interest in clicking on any of them.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

It's 100% **** for kids who are like 12-17 years old.

But hey... Those guys get PAID

 

I watch,and mostly enjoy, most of all of the previously mentioned channels. I also have a couple to add that I watch regularly.
David Cironi drive experience,

David Cironi is good peeps.

 

Haven't heard of him. I'll have to check him out.

I watch far more YouTube than regular TV anymore.

 

Mostly geared towards Italian/Euro markets, but all his videos have subtitles. He also speaks fluent English... when he wants.

 

This right here. Both are hardcore Ferrari guys. Davide is probably my favorite. He somehow gets to interview these legendary people, make high quality film content AND... he knows how to ****ing drive!

I am also surprised that no one has mentioned Jay Emm. He is very much an homage to the old Top Gear Clarkson/Hammon/May days and he too, is a hardcore Ferrari guy and really cares how a car drives. He's one of us. He's an everyman that found success and is still true to his roots. I get the impression that all the money he makes on YouTube is going straight to buying Ferraris. He's doing it exactly right.

 

Cannot stand JayEmm. He's a poor man's Harry's Garage. Purposefully sewers cars for views. Just awful. Not an heir to TG at all

Throttle House is the heir to original Top Gear.

 

Henry Catchpole, He's a knowledgeable intellect!

 

Harry by far!

Tyrrel's workshop is great as well. His review of some of the most important Lamborghini are super enlightening (and a bit geeky).

Davide Cironi is also amazing (https://www.driveexperience.it/). His interviews to some of the designers/engineers/racers from some of the best cars ever are epic and an amazing legacy for the future.

Experience, knowledge, sophistication. Much more than discussing specs or exhausts as most of the "car channels".

 

Maybe should not say this but I do enjoy Shmee because on something like the gumball 3000 he does manage to convey the atmosphere of the event and his road trip videos are great, equally him driving a Ferrari Monza in the hills, he manages to convey the experience very well. For full disclosure I used to really dislike him!

What I cannot watch is JWW, for me the worst of the lot....barring Supercarblonde....

 

Lot's of good stuff here! Thanks for putting these lists together.

One I have been listening too as a podcast, but they also have multiple YouTube Channels is Everyday Driver.

 

No disagreement with the prior mentions but has anyone mentioned the car guys?

Ohh supercar driver is now my favorite YouTube channel they do an absolutely amazing job. Great comparisons of cars that are from the 2000s. Super high quality.

 

Jay and Harry. But give also Johny Smith and the Late Break Show a try. Nice down to earth bloke who revives old barn finds found in sheds.

 

I was watching their GT3RS comparison video, but to me its too much talking by the presenters and not the cars.... They seem not to brake a single law almost driving those cars on video, which (to me atleast) makes the videos boring.... but other then that, the quality of the camera work is good

 

Alte Schule is one of the very few youtube channels that's worth watching. Features people who really know what they are talking about. Unfortunately it is in German, so that kinda narrows down the target audience to people who understand German or people who really enjoy subtitled interviews.
