Let's not forget Spencers got a channel with his missus with videos like them getting engaged, why they broke up and even doing their first ever pregnancy test. I love what Spencer has done with Hashtag and he seems a great guy but he also sees any intimate moment as potential content and views.

[@mattbidgood851]

@@mrtoad1408 Spencer has said many times that that channel is also a video memory type thing for their relationship. Him and Alex are both fine with uploading intimate moments because its also for them to look back on and not just for money/views. Which is why the channel was hidden during their breakup

[@mrtoad1408]

@@mattbidgood851 oh do me a favour. If you wanted a 'video memory' of things like breaking up, making up, pregnancy test, proposing etc you could just keep it for yourself. They post it publicly as its guaranteed views and revenue. The proposal vid has more views than most Hashtag UTD vids and probably took a fraction of the effort and involved hardly any people in comparison. I don't watch that kind of voyeuristic stuff but let's not pretend Spencer hasn't been changed by YT... the guy started off playing fifa with a balaclava on.

Spencer is totally right about the place name thing being bollocks, but Port Vale isn't actually an example of this, because Port Vale are based in Trent Vale in Stoke on Trent. Jaack's example of Met Police is more accurate. Alternatively, there are a Welsh club called TNS (The New Saints) who are not associated with a place
