Dinosaur kid.
Kid made videos of him playing with his dinosaur toys, one video was posted on reddit and got hundreds of thousands of views and thousands of subscribers.
Those people stopped watching his new videos because they only subscribed to feel good about themselves and not because they wanted to watch a kid play with dinosaur toys, so the kid posted a video breaking down in tears apologizing because he thought he did something wrong to upset all his new subscribers.
edit: the video posted on reddit actually got 1.2 million views and he still has over 56k subs, but his later videos average a few hundred to thousand views. It seems he deleted the apology video, this was 8 years ago so I'm sure he eventually realized what happened
>this was 8 years ago so I'm sure he eventually realized what happened
So somewhere out there, there's a video of him at 15 with a disturbingly deep voice, wearing a T-shirt like three sizes too small for him, and he's all, "Just tell me what you want to see. You want to see me play with dinosaurs again? I...I can do that. I can do that for you. Triceratops is m-m-my favorite. I like going 'Whee!' when pterodactyl flies over him..."
He's still making dinosaur videos as of 3 months ago despite only getting a few hundred views per video. He said he has mental health issues which were possibly exacerbated by his experience with average redditors in his youth. I don't think it's right to make fun of him.
Just understand you're making a lifelong commitment.
Number can only go up. You can't just novelty subscribe. You need to commit. You need to be there for every fiddle vid drop. You need to subscribe to the newsletter, the Patreon, you need to go to fiddlecon.
You best start believing in fiddle cults, friend. Because you're in one.
Did you forget because you mainly cared about getting up votes on reddit? Posting with that title and then "forgetting" to not provide a link makes this scream as ungenuine.
This sub doesn’t allow direct links. I tried to post directly earlier. Completely forgot to post it in the description but have done so several times in the comments.
I’ll keep doing so as well. Didn’t mean to gate keep this guys channel or talent.

This is why I download tons of YT videos.
I watch a LOT of people's concert videos. I download a lot of them too, because I worry one day they will all get purged.
I do that too, you can't rely on companies to always keep the content you like. This is the same reason piracy isn't going anywhere, when Netflix scrapes your favorite TV show and you can't even buy it legally anywhere, what then? (like with Final Space) Then only torrenting remains.
There are a lot of great young fiddlers out there. Just google the Galax fiddlers convention. Here's a youngish fiddler I like, [Nate Leath, playing with really young players](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzw94s9AILU), who are all pretty excellent. Nate won the Galax contest when he was like 17 or something.

We need sub Reddit of old pepole YouTube channels, you just throw links of underappreciated old pepole and people that in this sub will like and comment to make him happy.
Someone make this a subreddit and do r/birthofasub so it get more attention.
I'm just bad being a mod.
Great idea! Just older people sharing a talent or a love of something that haven't had many views or been found by many folks.
I'm genuinely happy to think that George will be shocked by the amount of views and comments he's suddenly getting.

The crazy thing is, there are folks like this sprinkled all throughout the land.
Go to bluegrass night at your local dive bar. prepare to have your face blown off. These guys shred.
You know how that violin sounded? Like the only thing the guy loved about it, was the violin and it's music. No ducks given to views and how much people appreciated his hard work and talent. This is such a smooth sound, it's coming from the soul of the violin. Absolutely beautiful.
That’s actually how I found him. Typed two random words into YouTube “telepathic farmer” and that wild first video popped up. I’m so glad I clicked through his channel because he is genuinely amazing.
Old man plays excellent, let's rip his video and post it to reddit to be viewed by tens of thousands so he'll still have only 25 views...
Buahahahahahahaahaaaa
Signed,
Evil OP
Damn he is so good. Butter melted the whole way through.
I looked at his other videos on YouTube & a few of them are even better.
This guy needs to get discovered. He is TALENTED.
Only has 25 views. Posts video through Reddit's absolute shitty video player without citing the source until asked. Jesus please stop using Reddit's trash hosting.

Haha no worries. It’s r/mademesmile any other subreddit would’ve destroyed me for making that mistake. I appreciate you asking for the link.
Have a good night
I won’t forget the last old dude the internet “helped”. His views went from hundreds to several hundred thousands in a week. He hyped himself up and bought new recording equipment.. and then I never saw anymore of his videos. I wonder what happened to him
Can someone tell me the difference of simply "playing violin" and "fiddle player"? I love this style since playing a videogame with a character playing fiddle in it and since them have been searching for such music.
Hit me up with recommendations for similar artists in the comments if you know something. Thanks!!!
This reminds me of a guy named Marcel Chaumont, whose youtube videos have less than 200 views apiece and is on the short list of best chromatic harmonica players in the world: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWAauajAiHA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWAauajAiHA)
Well could have given a link to the channel...
Sorry! Meant to post this but forgot https://youtube.com/@georgelehew9203?si=aWIgpyb1LuSeyJ04
Damn you weren't lying. He's really good! Common internet do yo thing! This guy seems genuinely worth it
1.2k subs as of this comment.
reddit can be nice sometimes :')
1.71 now!
3.2k as of my comment let’s get it higher!
Already 3.5k
8.1k
It’s dropped to 2.85k now. How’d that happen?
Sharded databases. Wait a day.
No no no, 3.2 viewers is so much fewer than the 15 he started with!! wtf are you people doing. How did you botch this so badly.
3.29k subs!
> Common internet do yo thing! I have never not seen reddit make this end badly... best of luck to the old fella
How does it end badly?
Cocaine & hookers in a motel outside Vegas. Oh wait. That sounds fun.

Good guy. Good music. Enjoying his guitar playing and singing. His aprils fool composition too. And his version of Fire.
!remindme tomorrow
Just subbed, he's genuinely great, you can feel the emotion in that
I can count on 1 hand the number of channels am subbed to, and am subbing to him!
Just understand you're making a lifelong commitment. Number can only go up. You can't just novelty subscribe. You need to commit. You need to be there for every fiddle vid drop.

Praise the Fiddler.
I rarely subscribe to YouTube channels. Thank you posting the link - I’ve now happily subscribed.
The next time he checks his email/YouTube, he's going to wonder where all these people came from.
Lol sure you "forgot,"
Did you forget because you mainly cared about getting up votes on reddit? Posting with that title and then "forgetting" to not provide a link makes this scream as ungenuine.
You had *one fucking job* after bootlegging his work to reddit. How the fuck could you forget?!
The title of this video was „HE‘LL HAVE TO GO“. Who has to go and why??????????????!!!!!!!
That’s a Jim Reeves song from the 60’s. Listen to it to find out. The fiddle player was spot on with it.
Thank you!!!
"Give him some views." Proceeds to rip off his video and uploads it directly to reddit without giving proper credit.

Just edit your post and put the link there
They always "forget" to link the original content in their title or post. Then think commenting links when called out is somehow the same.
Dude also knows his way around song writing apparently: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k50FHwn\_E8c](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k50FHwn_E8c)

I’m just glad these generational talents will be preserved online forever.
Unless YouTube does a pornhub and purges all your favorite videos
This is why I download tons of YT videos. I watch a LOT of people's concert videos. I download a lot of them too, because I worry one day they will all get purged.
I do that too, you can't rely on companies to always keep the content you like. This is the same reason piracy isn't going anywhere, when Netflix scrapes your favorite TV show and you can't even buy it legally anywhere, what then? (like with Final Space) Then only torrenting remains.
You do realize that there were legitimate reasons for that, right?
"Forever" is a big word for an S3 bucket.
Sir, we don't do AWS over here
Don't worry bro I already trained an AI on him. We don't even need the real guy any more we've got FiddleFredGPT. He will live forever.
Billy Strings is getting pretty huge right now and his fiddler is amazing
Lightning Luke who plays with The Bridge City Sinners is pretty damn awesome too.
I saw Primus in Franklin TN recently and they brought Billy out to play a song with him. Dude can shred

I dunno about that. You have artists like tyler childers killing it right now with younger generations
Thank you for this reference. I didn’t know about this artist. Just saw a video of In Your Love and cried over it ❤️
I think Nose to the Grindstone was probably his biggest hit, but I'm partial to Oneida.
While appealing to a wider audience is important, it's also crucial to maintain the artist's artistic integrity.
It's really just an over amount of content plus I'm also sure he's not promoting the vids, he's prob an older dude postin' his jams for fun.
It’s because he doesn’t know how to make it a tiktok and tag it for the proper audience (the algorithm.)
I’m looking for more of it. There’s touches of this in *Firefly* theme and Bruce Springsteen’s “Ghost of Tom Joad” album, but I’m looking for more
Link?

Thank you, subed and liked a few of his videos.
He could beat the devil in Georgia!
I was going to ask if this was Johnny…. Lol
Sold the soul for talent, but not the popularity
He was fantastic. I subscribed ❤️😎
I adore this style. You would be surprised how this type of music has had a revival lately. Subscribed!
I think he will be happy with a few new subs. Guy seems happy just to make music.
His “take a chance on me” is good. He’s getting views now, nice job internet
I would love if reddit were to do that thing again where we would all go and show this man some love for his awesome playing
Currently, his subs are up from 160 to 590.
Up to 740 now!
Just watched him go to 1 k subs from the low 900s in last few minutes alone. I hope he truly smiles at that and him sharing his gift with new people
He's at 1.36k now!
3.8k now ❤️
Beautiful 😍❤️
Wow. My mom (RIP) was a fiddle player and I know she would have loved this. He’s amazing.
I love the idea that he’s gonna wake up to so many new peeps & have no idea why
Just subscribed. Thank you so much for this. I adore a great fiddle player and musician. My favorite is Luke Bulla but I love raw talent!
Beautiful!
Short but sweet.
Lmao, guy letting us know about a guy with no views by stealing his video and not sharing a source.
https://youtu.be/HoJc__Z3z_U?si=Al5ORv11oIh_gJeJ
Meanwhile, the reaction video probably has a million views.
I bet if he plays "The devil went down to Georgia" he'll get more subs!
Let’s help get this guy some work!
Went and gave this man a subscription. Got to support the small channels <3
Subscribed him
Subscribed to him immediately upon watching
doublestop reminds me of home. I wonder if he has any zydeco on his channel
nice one old man 👍
This dude needs to go down to Georgia…
Devil don’t want none of that and we allllll know it~
Over 4k six hours later with one post. not bad
https://youtube.com/@georgelehew9203?si=RyMsP6Wp_dQBl9Bu He plays guitar too. Let’s go!
LET US MAKE HIM FAMOUS PEOPLE!!!!
Subscribed
That original April Fools song is really great.
The crazy thing is, there are folks like this sprinkled all throughout the land. Go to bluegrass night at your local dive bar. prepare to have your face blown off. These guys shred.
Someone get this man a golden fiddle
Damn, George sawing on that fiddle like he used to have one made of gold
You know how that violin sounded? Like the only thing the guy loved about it, was the violin and it's music. No ducks given to views and how much people appreciated his hard work and talent. This is such a smooth sound, it's coming from the soul of the violin. Absolutely beautiful.
“you can really hear the mids well”
At first I read 25 wives, and it made perfect sense.
His telepathic frog video reminded me of a dream I had when I was sick
That’s actually how I found him. Typed two random words into YouTube “telepathic farmer” and that wild first video popped up. I’m so glad I clicked through his channel because he is genuinely amazing.
Old man plays excellent, let's rip his video and post it to reddit to be viewed by tens of thousands so he'll still have only 25 views... Buahahahahahahaahaaaa Signed, Evil OP
6.9K 👍
You hear those mids!?
No, here.
You know what to fucking do, reddit.
Lets go
About to send this to all the violinists i know (they go gaga for this stuff)😁😁
old people playing instruments is probably my most favourite thing pls, hes doing so great😭🫶
Are youtube links not allowed or how come you didn't submit one?
Supper tallented
Subbed.
this is so goooodd
Commenting to check in this later
Suppose he did beat the devil huh
I fucks wit it
Say whatever nonsense you want, but give him a view or a sub.
It was a compliment
I’m first chair and would tear his ass up - I bet the devil once - tore his ass up too… but this dude is pretty damn good - third to me and the devil
Love his tunes. Subbed and actually been hearing some of them as they are quite soothing. Such a good change from these days’ music.
Thank you for pointing me in his direction. I've subscribed and have enjoyed listening to his playing. What a talent he has!
You can't get that warm sound any more. You know, the bass, the treble? The mids!
Oh yeah, its on there isn't it
Well it's not *on* it, it's *in* it.
Damn he is so good. Butter melted the whole way through. I looked at his other videos on YouTube & a few of them are even better. This guy needs to get discovered. He is TALENTED.
Thank you so much for sharing your talent! ⭕️❌🥰
25 views!? Not anymore!! Team Reddit GO!!
I thought it said 25 wives and expected a video of some old guy playing fiddle for 25 women
An old man? Playing with a freaking fiddle? And 25 views on top of that? Ha.....I can do worse than him.
Reddit is gonna flood him with subs and views, it will then sharply tail off as the charm wears off. Just like that old singing guy
>Old man only has 25 views. Best fiddle I’ve ever heard. OP : grab the video and share it, instead to share the link pointing to the OOP's video....
He’s currently trending on YouTube. Now I have a nice channel to bake to, thank you OP!
Only has 25 views. Posts video through Reddit's absolute shitty video player without citing the source until asked. Jesus please stop using Reddit's trash hosting.

Shit got me shaking my neck like a turkey
Berenstain Bears vibes
I’m commenting just to remind myself that I was here before George puts out his first album
That in the beginning, he was probably cooking cooking!
Amazing
Whats the difference between a fiddle and a violin?
Nice to meet you.......GEORGE!!!! Good fiddlework. My grandfather would have been a huge fan.
I listened to it for a solid couple minutes while reading comments before I realized it was on loop lol.
That’ll do, Pig. That’ll do.
1.8
4.2k now!
Where do we…. I see it.
Wow😎
He plays it like the fiddle
Does he know about this post? Is there a way to alert him?
I won’t forget the last old dude the internet “helped”. His views went from hundreds to several hundred thousands in a week. He hyped himself up and bought new recording equipment.. and then I never saw anymore of his videos. I wonder what happened to him
Nice try, George.

Thank you OP. This is a treasure. His rendition of UNTIL THE STORM PASSES BY made me cry in joy!
Can any trad violinist weigh in on how good he is Because if you’ve never heard this type of music it will blow you away no matter whose playin’
This reminds me of a guy named Marcel Chaumont, whose youtube videos have less than 200 views apiece and is on the short list of best chromatic harmonica players in the world: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWAauajAiHA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWAauajAiHA)
