It’s time to put an end to ski influencers

This shit needs to stop. Every time instagram feeds you a dumbass clip from an influencer or generic repost account, either click “not interested” or report them. We can kill them with the algorithm. It’s time to take action

Awful influencer. Don’t forget about AJ cutler

I usually come to the defense of women/girls in the ski community.

That said i think she’s a little annoying.

Just run the views on old Bunch / ON3P / HG vids and bump those back into circulation. No matter how cringe they get I will never see them as anything other than "The Bunch" personally, which was one of the greatest film crews of all time hands down
 
i follow companies and athletes and the occasional ski girl thirst trap. insta like to throw in some influencer pages too and tbh its better that than these stupid fuckin videos of people asking people questions on the street and some of the other shit out there

The bunch trilogy and creation nation are what the bunch will be for ever in my head
 
Unfortunately we can’t do this though because most of the views come from people that can’t even catch a foot of airtime let alone ski in general. If only
 
Ever since high school or so I started trying to make my insta solely focused on skiing. Only following skiers I know/consistently post good clips and no influencer types. and unfollowing non skiing people lol. Also after a long time I've finally gotten my youtube algorithm to suggest edits from stuff like child labor, arsenic, slvsh and all that. Its nice to see what you want from the algorithm

even though I really miss the bunch I fell in love with and can't stand their current form, do I really like hackel´s youtube channel. hackel seems like a cool dude who has knowledge, I would love more videos like these

The Bunch is selling themselves out and it sucks. I wish they would just stick to making films or at the very least tasteful instagram content

I have respect for anyone who creates and films their own content. Even if it's not what I want to see you gotta respect people who actually go out, film, and edit content. I have little respect for accounts that just repost shit cause they know it will get views and grow their own channel selfishly for their own benefit. Especially when they don't either credit the filmer and or event the content was filmed at. If the owner of the content shares it thats a different story and thats totally fine. But drawing away attention to the accounts that paid and produced the content without much consent is whack as fuck. We feed the keyboard monsters when we let this happen and its unbelievably frustrating to me. I understand there is equity in big pages reposting and thats fine but when it comes to "ski media" "cough cough.. they basically survive off of creating and doing nothing. Just sitting on instagram and reposting shit. Unfortunately it will never end.

sorry for the rant. Support the people who actually create. No matter if it's cringe or not and stop spreading hype for the people who don't. Thats my opinion.
 
Not all of them are the worst either tbh, yeah some of them may ski for more than just the love but some are just dudes who want to make money. Met a really cool one today who hit me up to come join an early season pvc sesh. Talked about TikTok and views and money and I’m like sure okay you seem like a chill dude.

tldr: don’t deal in absolutes
 
Its tough, but just go have fun. Go fast, go ski in trees, non of it matters learn a trick hype youre friend up, appreciate doing something outside where you have a passion. all that matters all that skiing is about

Have the first vid a fair shot. Saying the skiers name, “let’s gooo” and then “that’s a sick spot” over and over is not interesting. There needs to be analysis or critique at some point

Unpopular opinion but steepsteep has some actually worthwhile and educating reaction vids. Not sure how I feel about the whole reaction vids for skiing in general tho

Can you blame them? Most skiers can't even afford to be able to do what they love without super loaded parents
 
You realize Instagram gives you more of the content you interact with right? Stop interacting with dumb shit = less dumb shit.

You kids are fucking retarded.
