Whats up with ex-Pakistani cricketers becoming Youtubers?

is it a financial issue or the need to be relevant? its just odd how many of these foreign cricketers have now started their own channels while most Indian cricketers don't seem to be interested in these things. Kudos to BCCI for taking care of retired players as well. I remember the days when Ranji players were given peanuts and were left fending for themselves after retiring in their 30s.

Not only pakistanis, thousands of western vloggers feed off Indian viewers by fake kissing our ass. 

 

I just cringe at those

 

"What *insert some country*ians think about India?"

 

*some country*Ian reacts to Indian food, music , Bollywood scenes etc etc etc........

 

I mean who cares what they think about us ?

 

Well turns out millions do.

huge following plus easy views = money in pocket for minimal work. Why not? If anything, more players should do it. Hell you can take a walk down the street sipping on a cup of coffee and you'll still get the views.

Pakistan is bankrupt ,retired cricketers are abandoned by pcb no wonder they rely on other resources to earn livelihood

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

They don't make enough money trashing the Pakistan team on TV so they're doing it on YouTube now.

 

Indians too are so obsessed about what other countries think about them, so people make videos taking advantage of that including Pakistani cricketers now, because it's easy views and easy money.

Even Basit Ali is praising Team India and our players, hadd hoti hai yaar, Pakistaniyon kuch toh standard rakho , kahaan gaya tumhara jazba, junoon...dushman se is tarah pesh aoge? Kuch din pehle ki baat hai....

 

 

Aur ab unhi kafiron ka g@nd choomne aa chale, where is DilDilPakistan spirit? Where is Muscleman aggression? Why isn't genetics kicking in?

Yup, can't blame them for making use of what's available to them. That being said, it would be nice if they focus more on the cricketing aspect and less on criticizing and sensationalist headlines.

Not gonna lie, i've watched couple of Afridi's video myself in the past  

He was my fav PAK player, was always curious what he was upto on his daily life.

MONEY ,,,,,,  even lower primary kids can realize the intentions...we can come across even several foreign people commenting on bollywood songs  & other Indian related matters.

[First class]

Just a toy for they, where they can say whatever non-sense they would like to say. 

[Real McCoy]

Come on man. Its a jahb man. Go easy on those poor bums man. Let them earn their pennies through youtube views

[Real McCoy]

Seriously BTW I'm not watching any of those videos from a person whose country hates and kills Indians

which ones? I don't know any of any.

 

Also, this is not a Pakistan- bashing thread. It just highlights the fact that many of these players really have no source of income after they retire. At most, they can work in an academy or come on tv shows once in a while to earn some money.

don't like any of those reaction channels. its clear many of the western millennials are bums with minimum wage paying jobs so now suddenly they found a new love for Asian countries so they do this crap, but in anonymity, they will be the first ones to call us the usual racist stereotypes.
