I'm 43. I've always found the mob stuff fascinating so when youtube came along it was great. A fountain of info and rare content previously unavailable to the general public. Franzese was probably the first "mob-tuber" that I watched. Then I came across Adam and Frank Cullotta (Adam being the most likeable mobtuber for me). Great content seeing Im from Chicago. Then I came across Sammy's channel and Calandra's channel. Ok, this is interesting. I'm liking hearing these stories from these guys. Then, the stupid beauty shop drama begins....
As the months go by, the youtube algorithm is taking it's inevitable control, and it's feeding me obscure "mob" channels that are hosted by a bunch of John Q. Publics. Lee Cole. Who? Who the fk is this guy? Jeff Canarsie. Huh? Jeff who? Canarsie like as in Brooklyn? Who the fk is this guy? I dunno, but so far, these guys are coming off as wannabe mobsters. Fat Bald Sicilian. Now who the fk is this guy? Man, no offense, but this dude is such a wannabe gangster and he reminds me of so many BS'ers I used to grow up with. His content is nothing but cat fights between other wannabes and even the real mob guys like Calandra, Sammy, Alite (if u wanna consider him a real mob guy), etc etc.. getting into these high school-esque squabbles. And his videos are like over an hour long. Ive never watched an entire video.
I've got TONS more to say, (especially about a segment I saw FBS ranting against that other shmuck, MRE, about who's more Italian and yada yada. Anyone else wanna chime in and give their opinion of the beauty shop little bitch drama known as "MobTube"?

There is only so much to say, after a while they all just put up content because they feel they have to in order to keep going. Actually guys like Sammy por Franzese still have tons of good stories to tell but as you said they always talk about the same stuff. They have their own reasons though : Sammy is building his brand and he came up recently on the media scene so he started with his main story, which is covered in his book. In his podcats, he mentions sometimes some new stories which are interesting. Franzese doesn't want to talk too much about his interactions within the Colombo Family, which I think is the most interesting part of this story. I am sure he has some interesting stories to share about guys like Gerry Lang, Andy Mush, Jimmy Angelino, Nicky Black...

I just think they all lie through their teeth or greatly embellish most of what they say. Sammy is the hero at the end of all his stories, Franzese is such a sanctimonious blowhard, Cullota is a grifter that has capitalized off being friends with Spilotro. He was never an official member of the outfit, and I'm sure he may have been around a few heavy hitters through Spilotro, theres a 99.9999999% chance none of them really knew who he was. Alite and Borello are by far the worst. At least with Sammy and Michael, they were well respected made men in their day.

There are way too many out there. I actually like Angel Gotti's, but I have seen her video liked Franzese in the beginning. I don;t think I've ever seen seen the video with Angel Gotti you're mentioning, but I used to think she was one of the respectable ones from the family until I saw that episode where she said the next door told her mother ''Wtf was he doing in the street to begin with'' There's no chance he ever said that, and its insulting to his family to hear it.... The Gotti family are all trash....Maybe Fat Pete is the exception

Hers are very amateurish, which makes them alternate between likable and unwatchable. She is funny at times.

Agree with you all , I do think however Jimmy Calandra keeps it real and tells all those horseshit phoney fucks to get da fuck outa here. I have watched a handful of his videos non lately I can tell you that the stories He tells I remember a lot of them Some of people were my friends or I was friendly with. And he def is not lying or exaggerating. The way he describes the neighborhood growing up is spot on.

Say what you will about Jimmy but he grew up in the heart of Bensonhurst, had countless interactions with made men from the Five Familes and bore witness to a lot of Mafia history first hand. He used to shovel snow off of Nino Gaggi's driveway and was face to face with Tommy Pitera and that's probably more than most people can say. Plenty of people who lived there or who grew up there could say the same, he has very little to offer. If he did 3 or 4 videos that would have been it, he is stretching it out. Sure, but they don't have podcasts and he does and he has 30k subscribers so apparently some people want to hear what he has to say. He brings on some interesting guests too, whom you get to talk too about their participation in historical organized crime events.

As for presentation I would have to say right now Gravano is probably at the top even though he is starting to repeat stories and he always tries to make himself look like the hero which gets tiresome. I’ve heard Mikey Scars is coming out with one soon too

I have not seen Angel Gotti talk of Favara, maybe she did. Consider they may be right on Favara, you can't possible know.
