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?

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."

When you are in awe with your own system , you dont need entertainment, you listen music for the first time in your life , nobody has ever experienced it save me ?

i dont read audio review anymore except sometimes one recommended here , by curiosity, because i love people here and what they recommend , thats all... The last one i really read and study was Dr.Choueri BACCH filters acoustic revolution... There is nothing  else to read for me... All the rest is marketing, honest one , at best ... But i dont need to upgrade ...Then ... I read my friends here and i listen music...
