“This just shows that our people have no vision."
Pakistani news anchor and YouTuber Syed Ali Haider criticised Ducky Bhai for what he perceived as cringe-worthy content.
He also expressed discontent with social media users for promoting content he deemed as lacking substance.
In a video shared by Syed Ali Haider, he cited two contrasting examples.
He compared Wild Lens by Abrar, an informative vlog, and Ducky Bhai’s Sehri vlog, which was focused on entertainment.
Interestingly, Ducky Bhai’s Sehri vlog garnered 1.5 million views within a single day.
On the other hand, Wild Lens by Abrar accumulated the same number of views over a year.
This notable disparity in viewership prompted Haider to question the preferences of the public.
He suggested a trend favouring sensationalised content over informative narratives.
He voiced concerns that such a trend could marginalise quality content creators while elevating those who produce what he considers subpar.
The criticism from Syed Ali Haider has sparked discussion among social media users.
Many viewed it as a valid and necessary point of conversation.
Numerous individuals have expressed a preference for content similar to Wild Lens by Abrar, citing its informative nature and positive societal contribution.
Furthermore, some social media users have suggested that the popularity of cringeworthy content may reflect broader societal issues, particularly in Pakistan, where disparities in education levels are prevalent.
The debate emphasised the evolving landscape of social media consumption and the complexities surrounding audience preferences.
A user wrote: “This just shows that our people have no vision.”
Another said: “You raised a valid point. I don’t know who these people are that watch such kind of useless vlogs.”
One said: “In our country, intellectual and informative content is deemed as boring.”
Another commented: “Sadly, our people want to watch this trash.”
However, others had a different view of the discussion.
One person wrote: “Most people watch it to relieve stress, not everyone prefers the same content.
“Both content creators have different amounts of audience.
“We cannot shame people for choosing to watch a particular creator.”
Another said: “In my view, there is so much stress that people in Pakistan want to be happy and Ducky’s vlogs are full of jokes.
“We become happier for a little while. No harm in that, I think.”
