how I used YouTube to my advantage

[@gentlemanofgames]

Please their master 🤣🤣 it's actually very concerning how accurate that statement. Think people are slowly starting to wise up a little now to YT's taking advantage of viewers 😥 great vid Kev and hope feeling well 🤞

[@accessarea6]

It's true mate , I see how certain you tubers influence for their own advantage like brainwashing to build their collection and extort money from their followers lol it is almost a joke

[@raycooper-i3m]

It's Kevin's fault that we all have to pay a very high price for a dressing gown !! lol

[@perforce1]

It's a funny thing to be a collector and watch the waves of prices rise and fall for various things. Beautiful mug by the way!

[@Redacted-mi4rm]

I have some very fond memories of Ratchet and Clanck. I was poor and an uncle of mine had a video store, he gave me that game and I spent the whole summer playing it on ps2. Always happy to see your videos, I hope everything goes well friend!

[@accessarea6]

Yes ratchet and clank I've played it on ps2 so I will play the ps3 version

[@benjammin316]

Enjoyed that half hour, much better than the telly! Collecting is so much more rewarding when you're not gifted everything you want, like you say, 30 years worth right there. Take it easy Kev :)

[@accessarea6]

Yeah I see too many gaming channels receiving free games with smiles on their faces and then say they've built their collection lol

[@ewstargamer]

That same KZbinr was going for a full Wii u collection at the same time I was a few years back and I noticed the prices going up as his channel grew, luckily I had already got all the big hitters at the time but since he has completed the set the prices have crashed back down I completely agree with you that some KZbin can push the prices up which is annoying if that's a system that you love and your taking the time to collect Great video mate 👍

[@accessarea6]

It is very annoying, we all show our games on our channels but not for our own gain ,some channels will announce that they're going for a certain collection knowing that their followers will go looking for them

[@puginator2711]

I’ll try to search you up to see more of your videos 👍 Ps - also glad you’ve managed to turn over some old items you don’t want for a little bit of profit, Crazy how people and markets can be influenced from the most simple and minimal of things 🤷‍♂️

[@steve36207]

Your spot on kev buddy, tubers defo influence prices/people's thoughts etc. This is why companies give them stuff to advertise and say positive things about the product to get people to buy it. Great you struck while the iron was hot bud 😄👊

[@ak2298]

This channel deserves mooooore subbbsss

[@accessarea6]

Lol my subscriber count is actually going down I've lost around 40 subs within a couple of weeks but I'm not in it for that ,

[@Radek__]

​@@accessarea6​ I've noticed it as well, that your subscriber count is going slowly down. Does it started after the video about no internet connection is required to play games? But more obviouls was after that heavy video where you were talking about trolls and ask them to suck from the back. 😅 For me it was good, honest video. I like to see true emotions - I don't have any issue with it - but I think a lot of people cannot handle rage, negative emotions, aggression, heavy words, so even if you're right and have good reasons to do it they may start to escape because it was too toxic for them. Or maybe I'm wrong and the reasons are different.

[@ak2298]

@@accessarea6 Its the algorithm...KZbin often seems to push some nice channels to like 40-45 thousand subs and then "cancels" them quite a bit! Donno why... So keep up the lifestyle man : )

The second KZbinrs got on the 360 hype train was when I knew that I had to stop collecting, as the price had ballooned and ruined my chance of getting a full set. Prices were doubling overnight.

[@theeveshamgamer]

Hey kev.I know exactly which influencer you are referring to. I've seen that channel do it over and over again. Some examples being blood drive and king of fighters 13 on the 360. I stopped watching there due to the cult like nature of it. It's not just that one though, I could name a dozen like that one but that channel absolutely influences people. All I see in Reddit (for example) are people posting about how much a game is worth. I rarely see people discussing the merits of games now. Hell, I have been guilty of that but I stopped. It's a very sad state of affairs. I don't blame individual viewers. But as a collective, damn we can be selfish and destructive. I had to slap my forehead over the prices you sold those assassin's creed games for 🤦. And vanquish! Nah sorry, you really need to question your mental state if you're going to pay that kind of money for what is effectively a piece of paper. Still, as your title says, use KZbin to take advantage of a situation (and of those without common sense😂)

Still watching your video, paused to say I absolutely knew the £400 Vanquish game would come up. I was watching his videos and noticed people grossly exaggerating prices on eBay. Spookygames on eBay if I remember rightly with the vanquish copy. We all know the person in question, he’s a nice. BUT takes advantage of people’s kindness imo and I’ve never seen him do any decent giveaways, it just tends to be duplicate copies that people have gifted to him and he keep the better copy for himself. These followers are complete suckers. It’s nice to see the hobby and all the fantastic content, but let’s be real here. He’s got a point of doing it all for free and still charges people money for his discord.

[@accessarea6]

I just wouldn't pay anybody to watch their content I would rather switch them off lol
