In my estimation Knobs, by far, is the most creative gear presenter on YouTube. Bo should have had a pedal category just to get him to be a presenter.

I think I only own one piece of kit from this video. Izotope Ozone 8 Advanced and yeah, itās pretty neat.
I do think a lot of these content creators can save us a buck or two by showing/reviewing so much gear. I subscribe to a handful of em.

No need to trash the ones I donāt like, but I do enjoy some of this stuff

Loopop does a smart thing by including chapters and their timestamps within the video. While I know the links to those timestamps are within the caption box, I wish he would embed the links via overlays above the timestamps within the video portal.
If I remember right, you canāt do that any more

Patreon subscription on Youtube makes it worse. Help me review new equipment by giving me your hard earned money.
Unless the messaging is sleazy or the content is bad, I have nothing against content creators pitching their Patreon page. Normally they are asking for just a few dollars, and it does help them a little to create more content for their fanbase, since YT doesnāt send anyone a dime until you hit very high view numbers within a year. And unless you are banging out near half-million-viewed videos every one or two days, there is very little money in the YT game.

Nobody is forced to give a donation to these creators, but the option is available if you feel they deserve it for their time invested in product reviews. Some will give access to patches or samples theyāve put together for a small Patreon donation, so you may get something out of it as well.
Sure, I think the videos are funny because the failure of the synth and Danās expressions to camera where he is painfully aware, he deserved a medal for having to demo that dreadful synth.

Yes work for nothing. Just its not work is it? Well i dont call it work. The working bit is really just building up your social media fanbase. Dont forget a lot of these folk sell their music as well.
respectfully, I would disagree with that

I donāt understand people who complain about donating or even paying people who make youtube or video tutorial - first thereās no obligation of some sort. You support if you think the support can help the creator to make more content to suit you.
Back in the days we bought books and magazine, thereās maybe more avertissement pages than real and useful contentā¦ so ā¦
If someone want to learn it has to be something he doesnāt know, or a new angle to progress ā¦ If he canāt find alone how or what and rely on someone to open up his mind to progress - thatās value ā¦ because he will learn new things, progress or even better unlock him/her. And paying for that is not money throw to the trash.
And Even if :
you want to win time, and you pay someone who watched and learn every tutorial out there to be able to synthesize and give you only the interesting parts (and take maybe 5 years of his life to doing soā¦)
to me : itās normal he gain money for this task.
Of course Iām not speaking about gear review : thatās I really donāt care at all

The definition of āWorkā -
activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result.
You may disagree but these people put time and effort into their content, regardless if you enjoy it or not. Is a podcast work? Itās simply just somebody talking on a subject for a bit. It may not feel like work to them even, but at the end of the day it fits the definition.
I hope you donāt find me to come off as rude either, itās simply just my opinion on the matter.
