[@marul8352]

the thing i love about Mat compared to other channels is that 1. He posts long videos with actual content 2. He's never changed since the beginning 3. Most importantly, he is consistent with his uploads and doesn't just upload when viewership is high or just to satisfy sponsors Thanks Mat!!

[@ThorDyrden]

may I add the integration of the product placement into the storytelling? Understandable he needs to make a living from these videos, and they are a lot of work to produce... so product placement is a "necessary evil", but when it is no break, but integrated into the story it is much less disturbing.

[@djshotty1969]

Another thing? He advertises his sponsors in a way that doesn't sound like an advert, or pressuring folks to buy. It's more like, "I use this stuff myself, I love it, my friends and family love it so you should try it too."

[@GuyRichie-yr7ne]

He also never leaves u on a mad cliff hanger click baiting ect he gets the job done in most videos

And as an Australian, I am deeply offended when bands like Split Enz, Mi-Sex, Dragon and artists like Keith Urban and Sharon O'Neill are called 'Australian'. They're not ours, never have been, which is why New Zealand deserves the credit for them all being awesome.
