I did hear a rumour that a certain blogger charges around £450 for a review of a single product, now I find it very hard to believe someone can 100% be subjective/unbiased when they are being paid for the review. She hardly plays a full day either.

SuckMySock Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 Genuine gameplay, in-depth reviews and unbiased thoughts. I have been watching Gun Gamers lately, that channel is great.

Hell he loves krytac and made a whole video bashing things to do with them because he likes them so much hes found almost all the little issues and niggles people should know about. That is how you can tell they aren't just trying to sell you things or use their "influence" to peddle shit.
Stratton Oakmont Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 More milsim Reviews more night vision reviews more hair gel reviews blah blah blah etc etc dont do YouTube sponsored content (sorry reviews)

Supporters Rogerborg Posted October 15, 2019 Supporters Posted October 15, 2019 I don't know either, but I just like when we're being catty.
Fenderiix Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 I tend to be drawn more towards youtubers that review guns/gear and give good tips for the sport rather than one's who purely focus on gameplay. I go for smaller uk based youtubers like burntwolf or lone wombat airsoft because they have good reviews and good guides on various things within the sport of airsoft. The one's i stay away from most are the one's that have "OMG, KID REKT AND STARTS FIGHT" in the title. These, in my experience, tend to be more common with american youtubers. I'm not trying to put them down or anything but from my own experience, we seem to be more laid back when compared to places like the US. It's a game based on trust and at the end of the day it's just a bit of fun. So yeah, anything with rediculous titles and/or teenagers fighting eachother. Oh, and novrithcjsbfhdb whatever his name is, i can never pronounce/spell it properly. I remember seeing one of his videos a long time ago and didn't really care much. Since then I've seen arguments for why people don't like him and i get it. His stuff being overpriced and trying to get new players to jump in the deep end with sniping and then give up on airsoft when they realise they aren't captain macmillan from modern warfare could prove rather damaging to the future of the sport. Every hobby needs the hobbyists to keep it going and if they splash out on his gear and then give up after they realise it's not as easy as novvi makes it sound then that's not good for anyone except his bank account. Templar is another decent one but i don't think he has done weapon reviews in a while So yeah, i go for the smaller channels personally but to each their own. Just my twopence.

Supporters Lozart Posted October 15, 2019 Supporters Posted October 15, 2019 Garand Thumb for the win. If only for the comments section! Airsoft "reviews" of kit that are literally just "it's a thing that's made of stuff it comes in lots of colours" are worse than useless, same goes for unboxing videos of gifted bits. Actual informative reviews of stuff a la @TheFull9 are great, anything that has the "reviewer" in full gear fumbling about with stuff while wearing tactical gloves gets an ignore straight away. I'll also say one of the BEST channels for airsoft is Negative Airsoft https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdWFrvXg78qI4j8Brfit2XA cos Luke is ace and he swears like a navvy with Tourettes.

Nah my stuff is terrible, nobody watch it. To be fair I often wear some gloves in video where my hands will be seen close up, but usually I've torn back the skin around my nails on gun parts during the week and I just don't think people wanna see it. I sure can't stand watching videos when the subject can't even spend £2 on a nail brush to clear all the black shit out from under there when they wash their hands. Maybe if you're a chimney sweep or like work in an actual steel foundry and you're getting filthy all over every single day, but my hands get filthy from carbon and OX-24 all the time and I get them clean so I don't think there's an excuse for most people.

I liked your live stream, I say liked... I also feel an intense hatred (in a nice way of course) towards you because of the amount of spaff worthy clothing you have accumulated not to mention knowledge on it.
Skara Posted October 16, 2019 Author Posted October 16, 2019 @TheFull9 your reviews are good, the problem (which really isn't a problem tbf) is the subject, it's stuff that the average airsofter will never buy, whether it's because of the price/availability/style/whatever. I could never do a video review of anything, my spoken London is pretty bad unless I've gone through a few beers and in general I am shy and feel dumb talking to a camera

I don't really get this kinda thing tbh, I mean correct me if this isn't what you're doing, but people have this habit of putting you in a box/category if you publish videos/blogs etc. I'm literally just a gear guy, for any purpose or usage. I skirmish occasionally because that's what I did before I joined up, I've also spend a good few months in sandy places (far more time than at airsoft games) and it's been mildly spicy on occasion so I care about 'real' stuff too. I try to cover all potential uses in my content for that reason.
ChrisG Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 I like informative videos on load outs or guns. When they go into detail on their setups. I also like in in play videos like being a sniper or running crazy with an AEG. I'm not a fan of YouTube's who peddle their own shit; KM for example. There's nothing in those videos but a full on advert referring to themselves in the 3rd person ???

It was a comment on your "no one watches my videos" statement, most of the people who look around for military/firearm related reviews are airsofters, and they usually look for generic or well known stuff, something you don't really show (but you do show other things, which may be useful for people who are serving). 1 hour ago, ChrisG said: I'm not a fan of YouTube's who peddle their own shit; KM for example.

"Today I've been tasked with..." "The enemy has sent out a hunter force to hunt me down." Oh do one. You've not been tasked with anything and no one is out looking just for you, you're at the same field playing the same sodding game as everyone else. Shut up and get on with prancing around in your bush suit. Think that's a fair assessment. I like the smaller channels for sure.
