      It's because it's becoming annoying to see people with "perfect" lives, flexing it in your face constantly about how amazing and good everything they do is, it's overdone to hell and is an EXTREMELY negative way of thinking, it makes people feel bad because their lives aren't "perfection". so it's good that there are people who show what am actual normal life is, instead of whatever Dreamland most influencer live in

We need more strong and positive character in the world, especially in young people. The fact that he's direct and unapologetic on his views while also very respectful of individual choice and autonomy shows an ineffable contrast between him and the majority of content creators. He's a fellow old soul amidst the hordes of confused young adults. Great video btw! 🙂

People can relate to Charlie, sharing his difficulties, his awkwardness in earlier years and he’s just a bro for the people.

    Found out about Charlie earlier this year. It's so refreshing to see a content creator on this platform who doesn't sell out to advertisers and ends with a simple "and that's about it, cya" along with simple content quality with no cringe video effects, pretty backgrounds or overlays promoting his social media. As well as the deadpan humour and presentation.
    instantly one of my favourite personalities.
    EDIT: I think all this makes us be able to relate to him more as viewers with his down to earth personality.

      I agree that it's good he doesn't sell out, but he regularly defends his friends even when they're in the wrong, like when train went after serwinters wife on twitter because of "camping" so while I like him, he can be hypocritical

    Charlie is so likeable that he releases hours long react vids and exactly nobody calls them cringe. He's a good example of don't try to be someone you aren't.

    Penguinz0 humor aged so well because the internet is depressed and he’s able to verbally say what everyone thinks would be too stupid to say, but when it comes from him it sounds strangely smart
