"jimmy the giant" was pretty much humiliated by konstantin kisin on the triggernometry podcast (they've since taken it off youtube as the guy apologised afterwards)

He claims to be neutral but i'd say he's centre-right. I have found that over the last few years that listening to just left-wing media, or just right-wing media gives you a warped sense of perspective on issues, so i've found the triggernometry podcast on youtube that has guests from all over the spectrum quite a good balance.

Unfamiliar with this person you mention or the incident you talk of, but I do know Jimmy gets things wrong- he’s not afraid of acknowledging when he’s got things wrong, which is unsurprising seeing as he comes from a place where previously he was indoctrinated into far right ideology.

I’m not defending him (I don’t know who either of them are), but shouldn’t podcasters be interviewing experts rather than other podcasters? I’d listen to that, but don’t see the value of an interviewer’s views unless they’re also an expert in the subject. Or am I missing something? I probably am, as I rarely listen to podcasts.

Jimmy’s just a normal bloke with a YouTube channel and an interesting story, there’s a little gaggle of these creators, influencers and I guess politicians now? Who trying to drive change and reframe the conversation.

I don't know who Jimmythegiant is apart from the interview i saw. Apparently he was calling out people for grifting or something and kisin was one of those, so he invited him on explain what he meant and er, it didn't go well
Have found it here but reproduced by someone else. Ignore all the nonsense from the person who has reproduced it and ff to the conversation itself.

Ah right, thanks. I’m a bit of a numpty when it comes to anything social media lol

Totally valid, mate - I’m probably immersed in it somewhat more than your average 37 year old because of my job.
I think these chaps will be becoming quite mainstream soon though, Gary’s Economics arguably already is, he had a very successful book and was on Question Time I believe?

I would urge all fans of Gary to fact-check most/if not all of the key points he frequently uses to advance his media channels and self image.
During Covid, I was persuaded by a friend to watch a video by Dr John Campbell who (I found out) had a qualification in nursing.
His videos attracted huge numbers but early on in the video he produced a graph and drew conclusions from it that I thought weren't justified. It made me think I couldn't really trust anything he said so I didn't watch any further. But I assumed he must be making a lot of money.
It merely confirmed my view that I'd rather do my own research and form my own views than adopt the views of some bloke off the internet.

I remember him being posted on here. He went out of his way to promote falsehoods about vaccines. I just searched his name because it rang bells, and if you believe what's on Wiki he was a nurse educator rather than having any qualifications or worked experience as a nurse. I bet he makes a mint of those conspiratorial videos.

Quite, not really an equivalence to Gary’s Economics but fair play. Of course you should always take information with a pinch of salt and do surrounding reading and research-
I do find it interesting though that people are so keen to discredit though.

Agreed.
When Gary’s videos started to get traction 18 months ago or so I thought he had some fairly reasonable things to say.
He’s since shifted way over to the left and much of what he says is either incorrect or full of half truths.
Sadly, like Farage, I think he’s now realised there’s a lot of money to be made from selling half truths or info devoid of context to the economically less informed. Which is a shame.

Interesting assumption to make that a guy who was earning millions at Citibank in a remarkably successful career would be caught by the bright lights of YouTube…
I don’t know how ofey you are with how the payment system works over there but with his statistics he’s probably making around £5k a month, which is nothing to him due to the wealth he accumulated over his career and investments.
Is there a specific falsehood or half truth you could highlight to me? I’d be interested to see what it is that rings alarm bells for you.

Assuming this Gary Stevenson, I read his book and I don’t think many of his claims (of him being the most profitable trader on his desk/in citi/in the city) hold up to much scrutiny.

Based on what?
I listened to the audiobook read by Gary himself and unfortunately I did get to the end thinking he didn't come across too well in several places but overall I am a fan of his and think he's certainly correct on the asset economy.

Gut feel whilst reading it and backed up by speaking to colleagues after. He stumbled across a (admittedly very lucrative) niche in a desk and coined it for a little while but don’t think it was via some super savant skill set.
(FWIW I don’t disagree with a lot of his conclusions about inequality etc, I just think he’s a bit full of himself in the book as some sort of Nostradamus type).

I don’t have a problem with his messaging, I agree with quite a lot of it. However it’s easy to break things, not so easy to fix them. From the content I’ve seen he doesn’t offer up many solutions, but maybe you have to buy the book for that…

The book is just the story of how he got the job and what happened.
There was no practical advice.
To be fair to him though he has been open about what he's doing and what he thinks other should do if possible.
