My dislike for making pen reviews... Or any product

Ok I probably will be temped to make another product review. But I just don't want to sell that there is a connection between our personal development and some endless cycle of materialism.

You’re so talented. I came across your channel bc I wanted to know how carbon black ink works with fountain pen. I’m learning Japanese right now and began to write a lot with only a cheap fountain pen. You’re right that it’s so much more work to gain actual skills using the tool vs. indulging on the consumerism side of things to look at products over products. I enjoy both 😂, but your thoughts in this video resonates with me the most.

I completely agree with your thoughts on certain art products reaching a point of diminishing return, however I will say I think that the way you always communicated your thoughts on those products made that clear, which is why I enjoyed your point of view and your reviews in general so much. As for pivoting your content, I’m a big fan of your art and will happily stick around for your drawings or any other types of videos you find yourself wanting to make. P.S. Very excited to get this notification, welcome back!

Thank you very much.

Definitely true. Its always best to start a hobby with inexpensive tools and only upgrade them when you have a specific need for a more advanced tool. I started using fountain pens about a year ago and found the perfect pen for my tastes a few months into the hobby. I've tried others in stores since then, but even much more expensive pens don't suit me as well as the one I'm used to (A Lamy Aion, not fancy but I like the feel of it in hand more than any other I've tried).

Clicked as soon as i saw the notification, you never disappoint. Edit: if its any reassurance to the quality of your content, I came from the laptop video on the second channel to this channel, and found someone who has pretty good thoughts on pens and life.

Thanks for your confidence in me.. AH yes the Thinkpad video. I'm still using that laptop. As for that second channel I foolishly haven't even looked at it for like 6 months. Silly me he he

Great channel MAAAN, waiting for new acquisitions (jinhao pens), i like your drawings, greetings he he! sorry

If its at all encouraging I came to your channel through your video about refilling fountain pen cartridges and (as I stated on that video at the time) I appreciate your channel entirely because you are capable of talking about and having fun with these tools without making it about commercialism and retail therapy - I should like you to know that that is still my impression. Much respect for the views expressed in this piece.

I came to your channel, indeed, because of your reviews, even though I wasn’t even planning to buy any pen (bc I already had one). And after my only and favorite pen was stolen, I remembered about jinhao just because of you! So you can be sure that your channel saved me some money and let me have a pen I really like in the end. But I started to write this comment because I like your personality and sense of humor. There’s a viewer for every kind of video, and I’m sure the channel still can grow without any “materialistic”, as you’ve called them, videos. I will watch anything you make :)

I'm here for the humor and relaxing flow that your artwork delivers. You have a strange gift for creating an almost ASMR feeling when you narrate and i could listen to you for hours! 😊 You also have the best tips for making your favorite pens last. I have never seen anyone else encourage you to try and refill a disposable pen and provide hours of test data to back it up. So i appreciate all the work you put into your channel and thank you for hours of awesome content!😉

I discovered your channel not by any sort of product review but by looking for pen modifications. That might be the antithesis of a product review? And I have enjoyed all your videos - the ones about your mum's old Isographs is my favourite, but there are others, too. I stayed for the humour and the art - I really like your art and your outlook.

[@karigori6415]

I love the satire on the generalised product reviews these days, it really do be that way! The reason I come back here for every video is because of the way you simply draw on, and on, and just provide your thoughts on using it. A good pen is a good pen because of its ease of use, and using a pen for long periods of time helps to differentiate the good from the meh 😂 Thanks for the video mate, wonderful art as always.

Funny and enlightening, thank you!
