Any Advice for those Listening to Youtube Reviewers?

As always, buyer beware. I listen to YouTube reviewers primarily for entertainment but also to find about gear that I never would have heard about otherwise. I do listen to suggestions and have acted upon them in the past. Demoed totem tribe towers due to several enthusiastic reviews. I wound up passing on them. I bought a pair of highly praised speakers but they had a 60 day return window. I returned them.  My ears always have the final word.

I remain baffled how these guys can do so much work to put the videos together when they only get a couple thousand views. They make no money from YouTube.

And they crank out so many 15 minute videos with their crazy long extended intros and if you have the patience to watch the entire video most of the time there’s nothing to be learned. No one ever explains the technical merits of gear they’re talking about. How is one supposed to learn when they watch these videos.

Yeah I wish I had $350,000 Wilson speakers. And clearly they are paying for them, if it all, its at a substantial substantial discount. If I was Wilson why not give them on loan to a well followed video person the for a while. If purchased I’m sure they’re being tax deducted, which means everybody’s paying for those speakers.

The economics escapes my tiny mind. Actually I’m losing interest in all these videos anyway. It’s a complete waste of time to watch them.

I don't know who you are watching but there are severalYouTube reviewers I follow who have about 200,000 or more subscribers and get thousands even tens of thousands of views for each video.
