Well, what does a humble crafter wear? And how does a crafter friendly presenter best present themselves to the Club members? Ryan was probably asking himself those types of questions in preparation for his crafting gigs.
It’s interesting to actually give this channel and format more than the five minutes I ever gave it in the past. I can’t think of anything more tediously boring than watching in people in cheesecloth making cards and folding paper. As a result, I always stayed well clear of any of the crafting output on Ideal World. But for me it was intriguing to see how Ryan, if at all, would alter his persona to fit in.
He is certainly dressed differently. A check leisure shirt, unbuttoned with a black tee-shirt underneath. He looks like the well-meaning wierdy beardy science teacher doing the school disco music in about 1981. No aggressive body posture. No sharp suits. No CHECK OUT YOUR BASKETS NAHHHH…You suspect this type of audience doesn’t want that sort of meaningless, pressure BS. Half an hour or so of watching now, and not a mention of stock levels, the aforementioned checkout or anything other than him saying ‘there’s a lot of interest in this clockwork basket weaving e-cigarette machine’…It’s very much like watching the old Ideal World 2000s output. You realise just how toxic the selling approach had become in the latter years of the channel. People saying at times the most outrageous things trying to get a sale.. Another world completely, here on this channel.
