Message: <blockquote data-quote="Frogdaddy" data-source="post: 190242" data-attributes="member: 31041">This is a generational issue. I think if you took a poll, younger millennials would love Exotics Lair, and older, more seasoned keepers would totally dismiss him. I understand that many people viewed Exotics Lair videos and that's how they got into Tarantula keeping. Yea give him an award. Again, signs of a different generation as older keepers were exposed to Tarantulas through their LPS or these weird things called books.The problem is the very myopic view that Exotics Lair is a good keeper. Especially when newbs who don't know any better try and emulate or copy what he does. He is there for one thing and one thing only. Clicks. I'm sure what ever money he earns from YouTube is a significant income in whatever 3rd world country he's from. But make no mistake Exotics Lair is not about education, husbandry, or hot topic issues related to invert keeping, it's all about entertainment dressed up as education. To me Exotics Lair is a misrepresentation of the hobby and the animals themselves. He doesn't deserve a first view much less multiple videos. But the more sensational his videos are the more click he will receive. I can't wait for his first bite video which he'll never post because it's recognition of what a piss poor keeper he really is. I look at Exotics Lair just like all the Real Housewives reality shows. Sure, you could watch it, but why waste your valuable time with crap.</blockquote>
