Call to Ban YouTubers

[TrustJesus]

Like this world needs more love and treating each other better for. I’m not trying to bash or insult anyone, or make them feel “inferior” because they not. I just don’t approve of the technique they use. Someone recommend to clean my steering wheel using APC and taking a toothbrush, look at my steering wheel now . Yes I’m a little upset, could be worse, but I think we need to teach each other right, instead of trying to make money misleading others.

Yes i can. Pan and Stauffer are the worst offenders of dropping videos for clickbait, with almost no engagement

LOl I was just trying to be diplomatic. I'm with you. Ban the offenders.

Look at post #4 of this thread. Look at FUNX650 signature at the bottom of his posts. Words to live by.

Yeah I'm not at all a fan of an APC on interiors. Only time I would even consider it would be if I were detailing someone's absolutely hammered car. Even then I'd be very careful.

Dennis B, good post. I’ll take it for sure.

I agree about Pan. Actually I watched a lot of his videos, and until he really got carried away with advertising rather than instruction, found them worthwhile. But even then, I kept looking for his engagement on AutoGeek, and found almost none. Someone called him out on it once (during the Geat BeadMaker debate of 2018, I think), and he claimed his YouTube offerings were his engagement. Doesn't cut it for me. Your mileage may vary.

That would’ve been me.. Thank you, and you guys are all welcome.

Afaik, Still to this day he has never posted a single message on this forum outside of his shameless video thread plugs..

I haven’t watched any of his vids in a long time but the thing I remember that always stood out to me was how his so called “reviews” weren’t reviews at all, more like word for word regurgitating of the product label descriptions. It’s as if he was simply holding up brand new bottles and the review consisted of whatever the label claimed as far as performance and durability.

There’s no such thing as pros and cons with that guy, because he’s too much of a brown noser to ever say anything negative about any product. Why even call it a “review” if you’re afraid to be honest and keep it real?

It’s not too hard to provide an honest review without offending some people you may know at any given company... It’s called having a Spine.

I just avoid going into their posts and that’s it for me. Banning seems a little radical because there can be some useful ones.

Put them in moderators forum

To be honest, there's a few youtube videos that I have watched such as Esoteric. However most of the videos I've seen on youtube, there's a few educational ones but product reviews I ignore. How is someone going to tell me about how durable a product is when your video is 20 minutes and you just applied it? I'm always suspicious of the reasons why they made the videos. Especially when I've used the product and I just roll my eyes at the results they claim they get and I know it's no where near it.

Mike Philips is a YouTuber... we cannot ban Mike!

Create a "Shameless Plugs" forum and move offending posts to that forum.
