Resellers Clickbait Because They're Boring...

#reseller #videogames #retrogaming
Today, I do a quick rant on a lot of the thumbnail trends I'm seeing with resellers and the trickery going on to get their viewers to watch their boring videos.

[@ADHDavePicks]

Fair points 😁 I am indeed from NC and Clickbait does without a doubt get me more clicks

[@ShinyNxsh]

good sport

[@GtaCollects]

Your IG suck I had to unfollow because you recycle videos over and over again

[@duncfunk2998]

I used to watch some video game reseller videos. Now I just watch Heckin' Steve tear them all a new one. Never change dude.

[@steviefreakinc]

Thanks lol I appreciate you :)

[@Evilotto12]

The most egregious clickbait flipper is Retro Rick. Dude puts out anything for views and exaggerates on the actual content.

[@steviefreakinc]

He used to be worth watching years ago. Dude needs to put more effort into his channel. A lot of these KZbinrs do.

[@ophidianmind333]

Most of those clickbait titles could be renamed "Reseller experiences pant-shitting rage over something miniscule" and they'd be incredibly accurate. Also, despite being a more extreme title than most clickbait, naming a Mr. Wright Way video "Mr. Wright Way pulls a Mr. Wright Way on camera" would be completely accurate in more ways than one. 😆

[@steviefreakinc]

lol I like how pulling a Mr Wright Way is a thing that people say now. It’s not really fully explained ever but we all get it.

[@onelowx]

You got to admit, Kody with a K is an entertaining reseller and has skits and great editing.

[@steviefreakinc]

Yes he puts a lot of effort in. But at the end of the day he’s still doing scummy stuff for KZbin clout. I mean the dude did a $10 collection, sold it all just so he could do it again. All for KZbin views.

[@AJTComicsBrand]

Mr wright way is a thunderstorm trophy. 😂😂

[@NobodyOwens_72]

When they work as a double act .boy it gets to me Homeschool picker works with tnis guy and they are verbally making negative noises together towards the seller at payment time to get the price down very sneakily

[@steviefreakinc]

I can’t help but dislike the homeschooling picker. Lol

[@Bruh_182]

One thing that struck me most watching your videos was when you said something like “you could splice together a bunch of Philly phlippers videos and never know it was a different video”. So true. Boring ass repetitive content

[@steviefreakinc]

That's so odd that you would bring that up because I just randomly rewatched that video about 5 min before reading this lol

[@RNGGamerYT]

I don't resell at all... but every day, I live in fear of seeing my face on one of your thumbnails... 😂

[@steviefreakinc]

Lol we need to do a Hangin' With episode

[@RNGGamerYT]

@@steviefreakinc sure thing! Let me know when you want to do one

[@b.o.4492]

I like the respect Steve shows me by saving me all this time distilling useless content to the only part worth watching. Glad you’re 👀

[@steviefreakinc]

It’s my greatest service haha

[@ohiograssman1564]

I’ve been in this game for a long time. The click bait is real, but there’s a few resellers out here that aren’t so bad. Like I said before, they make more on the views than the reselling for the most part. Society is straight up fucked for not being more intellectual, and I blame the parents 😂

[@nickpapagiorgio2253]

The price of 360 games are skyrocketing because of Metal Jesus Sucks, Mr Wrong Way and Retro Dick

[@gengxr625]

Mr.Wright Way is on my list of channels to avoid along with all the other people that jumped the bandwagon of making people FOMO buy Xbox 360 games to the point where we have $5 shovelware titles going $100+ now. All under the guise of "keeping the community aware." Sure buddy.

[@steviefreakinc]

For real man it's messed up. Fatal Inertia for example sucks lol

[@pmcfarlin7]

The Mr Wright Way part has me 😭😭😭😭😭.

[@steviefreakinc]

I’m Glad you got a chuckle from that

[@pmcfarlin7]

@steviefreakinc I think if we had the dave Chappelle race draft you'd be easily be taken over mr wright for being black lol.

[@L_Train]

Nice LA Knight shirt. I went to a Smackdown a few months ago and all you would hear walking around were random "yeah!!!"s

[@steviefreakinc]

Haha that’s great. Reminds me of NOLA for WM34 back in 2018. You’d hear people walking down bourbon street chanting Rusev Day

[@RickInMaryland]

Out of all the KZbin videos I listen too, resellers are the most dishonest with the clickbait titles. That's ironic because you would think people would be less inclined to buy their overpriced junk seeing how dishonest they are with the clickbait. The worst by far is the Commonwealth Flipper. His whole persona is a lie. With the banjo music and the southern drawl, you'd think he's from the deep south. Nope. He lives in Virginia, but he's from Southern California. In fact, he's originally from the area of California that I'm originally from. We do not talk the way he does. We do not listen to banjo music. Here's just some of his most recent clickbait titles: "You Can’t Make Money On Ebay Anymore" "IS EBAY RIPPING US OFF" "It Just Isn't Worth It Anymore"

[@steviefreakinc]

He is really bad about the thumbnails and titles. I guess he adopted the southern accent to blend in lol

[@MrNuRetro]

I watch Austin Evans and he does that what you say. He changed his thumbnails and his titles. His last video he changed his thumbnail 4 times in the first 6 hours. He not a reseller or anything.

[@steviefreakinc]

And Austin is a guy who doesn't need to worry about views. Dude gets a crap ton as it is.

[@myplatinumlife]

“With everybody saying: Heck-in-Steve!” Love the shirt

[@steviefreakinc]

Thanks duder :)

[@ibapreppie]

Retro Rick and Pixel Game Squad is nothing but clickbait

[@GtaCollects]

Pixel game squad is the best

[@sbgandalf5946]

Retro Rick has changed greatly. There is an arrogance to him these days that he never had in the earlier videos.

[@steviefreakinc]

I agree completely. He used to be interesting to watch. Now I find his videos a chore

[@jamesburchill7522]

But then you have people like Wright Way, who don't mention that they got kicked out of a Portland gaming convention, for selling fake games.😅

[@steviefreakinc]

I didn't know about that one lol but I can believe it

[@hqgirl567]

😮that happened Oml

[@ohiograssman1564]

I used to like him but folks don’t like video games as much as reselling it seems

[@vic8230]

Damn, really? I had no idea about that. I always felt something was up w that dude.

[@steviefreakinc]

@@vic8230 he probably did it unintentionally. But that just goes to show you that a lot of KZbinrs don’t really know what they’re talking about

[@E-Z_Gamerz]

I actually watched that pro picker video lmao

[@steviefreakinc]

and it wasn't worth it right?

[@E-Z_Gamerz]

[@Jake-Day]

I must be the only KZbinr and reseller who aspires to be roasted by Heckin’ Steve someday. 😂 That’s when I know I’ve truly made it.

[@steviefreakinc]

There are resellers that have told me other resellers have said that lol

[@Siouxpreme1979]

I like the way everybody markets collecting, now there's this buzz word everyone is using "FOMO". Mofos out here buying every damn game like they're gonna play them all, I only buy games I'm interested in. At what point is this collecting gone from a hobby to a sickness? I've never been into RPG's or strategy games my Favorites are Fighter's, Racer's and Shooters I don't have hours of spare time to be playing video games they are my favorites because I can get into it and play 30 minutes or an hour. Truth is I'm 45 and I work 50 hours a week and at my age you got real grown up shit to do with your time. Would I like to play more games? Yes but I just don't have the time.

[@steviefreakinc]

Buying what you want is the right way to do it. So many people get easily influenced by these KZbin channels who boast having huge walls of games and I guess it causes envy to a lot of viewers. Gotta have self control and surround yourself with things you personally like. Otherwise you're just collecting what Mr. Wright Way likes or whoever the KZbinr it is.

[@NobodyOwens_72]

I love your vlogs Steve .my hero.youve brought sanity to my day

[@steviefreakinc]

Thanks Ocean!

[@thepinkchungus]

Maaaan, ol Steve aint hikding back here. Lmao loved every moment. A thing i noticed too is the heavy use of yellow text with red in there as well kek

[@steviefreakinc]

Oh yeah man that’s the classic reseller color. They’re planning to change the name “Yellow” to “Lowball”

[@_justyne_fife_]

I don’t think ever click baited a video and I’m not going to start.

[@steviefreakinc]

good because being honest with people will do more for you in the long run.

[@_justyne_fife_]

@@steviefreakinc it definitely does, it’s always better to be blunt about it

[@davidj.9432]

Nothing says clickbait like using the title "Confronting Phoenix Resale," and then sucking up to him for 2 hours!

[@ShinyNxsh]

yet you're still here 😂

[@steviefreakinc]

I was waiting for this one. Already explained myself but I’ll do it again for your brain that suffers from a lack of comprehension. You know that “Hangin’ With” series I do? The video was originally going to be called “Hangin’ With Phoenix Resale” but he insisted that I change it to “Confronting Phoenix Resale” because it would get more views. The current title has been changed to my original title of Hangin’ With Phoenix Resale as it should have been to begin with. I have probably 20 videos or more of me bashing the guy for his terrible scummy behavior and I made my stance clear in that video you’re referencing so you’re either ignoring those facts to be a troll or you are suffering from a low attention span. Which would be severely low considering that in the video I said not even 20 seconds into that “we’re not friends” to Caleb and to everyone watching the video. And as far as sucking up goes. I intentionally was nice to him for two key reasons. Number one because that is how sane adults have conversations and number two because the longer he stuck around, the longer his fans watched and made me more ad revenue. So haha at you for still watching my videos and continuing to make me money when you don’t like me. I won David.

[@user-kt4km9df3f]

Steve clickbaiting his own video, we all know he wasn't going to be asleep in this video.

[@steviefreakinc]

Damn it, you're right! I've become the thing I despised. :'(

[@warmsignal]

I think that "picker" is a title that's too high for most of these guys to be giving themselves. I have respect for actual pickers, like Antique Archeology and businesses like that, those who know their shit and find cool stuff to resell. Just going to a yardsale with a laser focus on anything that's a video game, and trying to play stupid and beat people down from cheap to almost free on it, is not "picking". I bet a lot of these guys don't even know much about the games, but they're pickers because Amazon says it's X and yardsale has it for Y.

[@steviefreakinc]

You’re absolutely right. They’re more equal to a first year law student considering themselves a paralegal
