M heart, that pic of me and trappy at the start of the video while bot talks about positive ambassadors for the hobby made my day. amazing video and great take. Got some real channel 5 news vibes. loved it. The problem I think for content creators is not actually the affiliates but the thumbnails. if youtube doesnt promote it than you are out of luck. ive made plenty of best videos and plenty of warning videos but 9 times out of ten people only click on best videos and thats all they see in the recommended etc. becomes a cycle in the short term. Long term I think people learn to trust or distrust who they watch. For me personally ive had ups and downs within the community and people remember the "bests" but dont remember the warnings. eg no one remembers my first warning video when DJi first came out speaking of the dangers of them, or rocking aomway goggles as my main for years, but they do remember a best drone for $99 etc. cheers for keeping it real borother.

Speaking as someone who reviews a bunch of stuff - Although I do tend to give my honest opinions, which is why a whole heap of companies no longer talk to me :) I have seen meteoric rises of channels where every new quad is the-best-thing-ever, and I always thought that there's no way this will last. People will smell the bullshit after 10 videos or so. But no, they keep growing with the channels getting very big and popular. For some reason, people do like to organise themselves into little gangs where they'll eat up anything that certain people say. There's currently so little to be made in affiliate sales for a channel of my size, that it's not worth the effort anymore. Personally, I'm scaling way back on reviews this year - I'll attempt to make money elsewhere and stick to looking at more interesting projects/builds and doing more of my own thing

I think that monetization is the worst thing to happen to KZbin. People used to make videos just because they had a video that they wanted to make and had no expectation of getting views, but now a lot of channels are pumping out videos just because "it's their full time job". They will steer clear of talking about anything that could get them demonetized, but still expect people to trust them. Look at how many "reviews" are just people unboxing the drone and then doing 1 flight and talking about their initial impressions. It's also annoying how a lot of channels start their videos by demanding that people subscribe to them. Do they really think that I don't know how KZbin's subscription system works?
@chronicnugget55956 ай бұрын
Nah this is definitely a bit old man yells at cloud, or at the very least misguided reasoning. There is SO much positive stuff and absolutely award winning content being produced on YT that would NEVER exist without creators getting paid. If they couldn't get paid through YT itself it, people would just be shilling through ad reads, patreon, etc. YT paying ad revenue enables creators to ignore all that and still make a living.
@befru6 ай бұрын
@@chronicnugget5595 The sponsors and Patreon are included in my complaints. I can see both sides of the coin, but its really getting annoying how it seems like every single youtuber and their grandma are doing ad reads and begging people to join their Patreon. Why do so many people need to make a living from KZbin videos, especially when they quit their job first and then try to make the KZbin career viable? What happened to just making videos for fun and to share your interests? I don't have a problem with people getting paid. I'm just really getting tired of the sponsors and Pateron reads in what seems like every single video I watch. Does money really need to be a part of every video? I feel that money also ruined livestreaming too with the donation messages. The streamers constantly stop what they are doing to respond to the donators and it derails the stream. I stopped watching gaming livestreams since the streamer usually spends the majority of the time responding to comments and doesn't do much gaming.
@conorstewart22145 ай бұрын
I think you are way off with this. If creators didn’t get paid and couldn’t do it as a job then youtube would have a lot less content and the content would be lower quality. Everyone else in the entertainment industry gets paid, musicians, actors, presenters, cameramen, editors, etc, so why shouldn’t KZbin content creators? You also have a misguided view in what demonetised means. You don’t get demonetised for saying a product is rubbish or giving you honest opinion, you get demonetised for breaching copyright or KZbin’s terms of service, so for showing nudity, dangerous acts, breaking the law, etc, and even then KZbin seems pretty relaxed about the breaking the law part or practically every FPV video would get taken down for flying without a spotter or beyond line of sight or using too high a transmit power. People unboxing a drone and test flying it once and people never saying anything negative about drones has nothing to do with being demonetised by KZbin, it is either them just getting a video out as soon as possible or them wanting to keep up their relationship with a company.

@mfrfpv9079 yeah, my muscle memory is getting WAY better just not at the level I'm shooting for YET! lol soldering was actually pretty easy for me to learn. I started soldering well over 10 years ago fir my trucks but last September have moved more towards drones and wanting to get a wing next!

Unbelievable how good you are at this kind of video presentation bro. I think you found your calling. Calling out the fake. I came in when wizzards were just comming out. Luckily banggood confiscated my money for about 6 weeks. Before having pay pal tell me your money has been returned because we took more orders than we can supply. I think if you tubers really want to help people out you should show how much repair time goes with this hobby and probably how much in parts your going to need to stock😢

Awesome video, thanks! I don't follow many FPV channels anymore. Just those that are genuinely having fun. A review video with an affiliate link is just a sales pitch.

Quite honestly I wasn't following you until this video. Meanwhile it led me to unfollow a number of other channels I frequented because you made a very valid point. It isn't just the FPV community. I realize that it is every community in which they can sell you a product. I come to KZbin more for tutorials for various things ranging from FPV to woodworking to 3D printing. Keep this stance. Your content is far more respected than a lot of other people on here guaranteed.

Great video! These "reviews" are also hella confusing to a beginner, who doesn't yet know enough to see through the BS. When I was starting out, I was THIS close to buying a cinewhoop for freestyle because of a Captain Drone review and it took me a while to realise that he: 1) Says the same thing about every quad. 2) Doesn't actually know how to fly.
@FunkFPV6 ай бұрын
Fun fact… I just got a community guidelines strike removed from my channel for trolling DJI from back when they first came out with their FPV system. I’m sure the strike had nothing to do with DJI spending millions on a KZbin ad campaign at the time 😜

Speak the truth Botgrinder! I'm a noob when it comes to quad rotor just trying to find my slice of happiness in this fkd up world. I know how to solder and tinkering is a passion so I'm now drawn to FPV. Believe me it's not just FPV experiencing the onslaught of influencers. My history involves electronics and radio, including radio control damn near anything. Let's put a little micro transmitter on a drone to provide telemetry back down the pipe just to see if we can do it. This niche had at one time a core group on who you could seek out and gather advice. Now, it's the product of the week (whatever they were sent free ) and "buy my course" channels. I watch your content because I enjoy it and I feel I can learn something. Lastly, you're the kind of dude I would enjoy hanging out with just to shoot the shit at twenty minutes after four. 🌲Nuff said, Peace
