So who are the thinkfluencers? A google search only brings up Siraj Raval. Is this a large category of youtube?

I guess I don’t have much exposure to “thinkfluencers” because I went into a boredom coma shortly into the first vid. Scrolling down I came to “Australia’s got talent” to hear the fucking worst impression of an Australian accent in the history of impressions. Sounds like a UK dialect botch-up. Caitlin who?

Yes, our accent is notoriously hard to imitate… always has a bit of Dick Van Dyke ‘cock-a-knee’ in there. I find humor in the ‘Simpsons’ take, which is to not even bother.
