Raza Samo

Career

Samo says he started on Facebook around 2013 or 2014. He created his YouTube channel in 2015. His journey in the digital industry has been described as lasting seven years. [1]

Samo says his early content was mostly relatable comedy about everyday life. He says that style has, for now, died out. He says he kept his humour while changing his content. [1]

Samo has made many of his older videos private. He says he began talking about the Pakistan film industry and was often too harsh. [1]

Videos and content

Samo has discussed films such as Me Before You and Ram-Leela in his videos. He says he watches many films and ends his reviews with a motivational message. He also made a video about films that he says indirectly promoted suicide. [1]

Samo recently made a video about marriage. He says he has mocked both love marriage and arranged marriage, and that a second part will follow in which he will discuss dowry. He also made a video about an Indian child. [1]

Samo says he adds something to his thumbnails and titles to attract people. He says he often uses sarcasm, and that some viewers do not understand it. He says YouTube analytics show viewers aged 18 to 24 are his largest group. [1]

Samo says some of his videos have changed people's lives and outlook. He also says he receives only applause from fans. [1]

Views on roasting

Samo says real roasting is not meant to offend the person being roasted. He describes roasting as mocking someone while everyone involved enjoys it. He says that when he talks about an individual, he talks about that person's actions. [1]

Samo says the way roasting is now practised treats it as a way to offend others. He says this change in how roasting is done came from India. [1]

Approach to sharing his life online

Samo says he tries to show every side of his life online. He says he shows his flaws and mistakes, not only the best of his life. He says that when he does so, audiences see him as someone who is learning. He also says he changes his opinion when someone gives him a strong counter-argument. [1]

Personal life

Samo plays story-mode games on his PS4 and does not play multiplayer. He made a solo road trip that he says took eight to nine hours. He says he did not want to go at first, but enjoyed it once there. [1]
