What's wrong with the internet or life cycle of a know it all noob
My one friend mentioned this to me today, i checked it out and figured i would share.
Basically my friend mentioned some vlogger's video that i remembered, then went on to say how he made an ass out of himself and it is all laid out on his youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCke...CCZA_pw/videos In short Dude gets an R3, goes through typical beginner phases, this is great, bike is great, don't need anything else, ive learned so much in my several months of riding blah blah, i'm getting a bigger bike (insert typically rational here) Gets Daytona 675, BEST THING EVA! These are easy to ride, 300's are stupid anyone can start on a 600 SS or similar, I do lots of immature stupid stuff, but i'm smart and will not screw up Dude takes a bad crash Gets back riding, eventually gets another Daytona, has an even worse crash So what is wrong with the internet... this guy. How many people did this jack wad give advice to and they probably took it. Has 160k subscribers

I suppose it's not very different from emulating the cool guy in high school who had a fast car or motorcycle, it's just a bigger class size. I tried to teach my kids to think for themselves, and so far things are going OK for them. They made it to their 20s, anyway.

I blame it on the parents.. or rather lack of parenting. When I was growing up, there was always someone at home, my grandma, my mum. My parents spent a lot of time raising me and teaching me things. To have manners, values, to make decisions not based just on my instincts or impulses. At 14-yrs old, they even encouraged me to go dirt-bike riding with my friends, so I can learn in a safe setting (relatively). When I was flunking out of UCSB, my dad came down for a month to live me, make me meals, do my laundry, tutor me and helped me with homework.

Before I clicked the youtube channel link I thought to myself "it's probably Yammie Noob"... and yep: it's him
Yammie is kind-of, famously stupidly. He seems to have some awareness of his stupidity at least. Thankfully there are also people like Royal Jordanian to counteract his extreme stupidity. I think there are more stupid riders out there than smart ones, but I think that observation can be applied more generally to all of humanity. I pretty much agree with @JacRyann . It's more about parenting than it is the medium we use to communicate. If a person doesn't know how to accurately discern and to act wisely, then they're gonna copy people doing stupid sh!t or make up their own innovative brand of stupid sh!t regardless of what communication mediums are out there.
