"What about ye internet"

Since every single bloody YouTuber has an intro of some sort, Matt decided to adopt the same tactic by taking the infamous “Hello internet” statement and adding a colloquialism into the mix; the result was - "“What about ye, internet. Matt McGuinness here…”"which seemed to work.

“What about ye”
Matt lives in the Northern part of Ireland, which taught him a number of phrases that you would never hear in any other form of English dialect. One such phrase is “What about ye”, or “bout ye” for short, which effectively a combination of “Hello” and “How are you?” but sounds a lot more natural. Matt stuck this in as his intro line at the beginning of RIP Cybershell as a last minute addition before uploading the video, and the saying stuck.

However, this was not the original opening line that Matt would recite. Back when he started uploading, he used a variation of his outro line instead, which he replaced because he thought it sounded too generic, and “what about ye” was easier to remember (his Asperger's contributed in part to the fact that his memory is not the greatest, so he needed something simple to say).
