Any Advice for those Listening to Youtube Reviewers?


I’d like to recognize that it takes a great set of self promotional skills to become successful in the Youtube world. That said most of the audio reviewers I’ve seen don’t have the experience to review, or the kind of space that would really allow gear to shine.

Most of them start of with K-Mart like gear, did their formula and got popular, and jumped far up the audio food chain. Of course everything they review is going to be great compared to the Service Merchandise system they sold last year.

Just throwing it out there that people should be careful listening to these guys that are mostly working for the views/money (not that some aren’t passionate).

Anyone else seeing this?

There is a channel called the audio analyst, and this guy has got to be the best technician I've ever heard. He's a really smart guy and a superb reviewer of high-end high-quality components. He really seems to know what he's talking about.

By listening to him, you truly appreciate how complex audio issues are. He does a great job and is very gifted at explaining things. A very credible individual.

Yet mysteriously he doesn't have a large following versus the rest of the audio YouTube channels.  

What used to be best taken with a grain of salt seems to require a salt lick of late....😏

 

It’s all entertainment, whether it’s reading a magazine, or watching a YouTube video.  It’s like reading the car magazines, none of us are ever going to buy the $5 million McLaren car, but it’s fun to Hugo and read the specs.

That's probably true. I'll just never understand how some could see Hans or Amir or OCD guy as "entertaining."
