Review the Reviewer Ep7

[@BigBaldandBeardiful]

DTB has actually quit his channel. He's no longer making Review videos and is now focusing on starting a beard care company of his own, coming Feb '23. He's making a new channel for the company and leaving DTB up for archive views. That's why he hasn't actually been making new videos recently if anyone has noticed.

[@kentuckybeardsman]

Yes I know that I started the 10 people that I was originally going to review I made that list like three or four months ago.

[@kentuckybeardsman]

Also if you have discount codes affiliate codes you have videos up that are of beard reviews than you are a beard reviewer

[@kentuckybeardsman]

Sorry one more hey Literally made a video two weeks ago

[@BigBaldandBeardiful]

@@kentuckybeardsman Yeah no problem! Not criticizing at all. I was just informing you and anyone else that he's done now, so like the "helping his channel grow" comments are acknowledged that he's not going to be growing as he's not making anymore videos. Yeah he made that last video like a week after he announced he was done. He stopped doing Livestreams at least. 🤷‍♂️

[@johnnyTimothyRokket]

Would you try his oils ? NGL, the products are fire

[@kentuckybeardsman]

Oh I am

[@beardswagbbq]

I like Daniel very much and have enjoyed watching him grow. I like what your doing and appreciate how you aren't attacking the folks you don't agree with all the time.

[@kentuckybeardsman]

👍🏻

[@kentuckybeardsman]

Growing in what way?

[@beardswagbbq]

@Kentucky Beardsman the video quality, his intro and thumbnails to name a few things.

[@kentuckybeardsman]

@@beardswagbbq oh yeah for sure those things are great! No argument there at all. Is that what people want to see though? Just an example, I've grown super slow doing things my way and not buddying up with other creators therefore getting their subs, and have grown to almost 1000 subs with a cell phone and a screenshot. The quality of what you see and hear can be amazing but if noone is there to see it ........ Again I get it I come off as this or that , but I'm only speaking the truth in my opinion. He can do so much more and get more ppl interested in him as a person and get true growth. The smoke and mirrors part of it hasn't worked for him. ( The lights, camera, and all that) Maybe the content change would. Everytime he does something outside the beard stuff his numbers are amazing! There's that growth

[@kentuckybeardsman]

@@beardswagbbq and what you doing up so late 😂😂

[@lumpvision5746]

I do have a question. How many views do you expect from a channel with 2k subs? I'd only expect like 100-200 on average based on what I've seen over the years. That might be a tad too generous. Scuba has well over 200k subs. Obviously, Scuba has some bangers but I've seen plenty of views of like 4 or 5k. Which is still a lot but for over 200k subs? At least you would think. I think we might have a misconception on how many views channels should get based the sub count. What's your take on that?

[@kentuckybeardsman]

Honestly there isn't a set amount I feel less than ten percent is very low though. I feel every channel that's not changing and doing the same thing every video will never grow and will never get better numbers. I get it numbers aren't everything, but they are signs of growth. Also, they are a great sign that your subscriber base is interested in your content. Take Daniels channel, he is getting around 5-8% returns of his sub base That's 90 something percent that's not watching. Yes some move on from the beard thing so take 20% away from that 90. It's still 70% of people that walked away from his channel due to, well whatever the issue is.

[@lumpvision5746]

@@kentuckybeardsman it makes sense when you say that 70% his audience walked away. I'm just going off of what you said because I don't care to dig into that. Generally speaking, subs and views aren't even close and subs alone don't mean a whole lot based on what I have seen. Even for me. Most of my viewers are not subscribers. It's a weird game with a lot of gray area for views. Sometimes you hit the lottery but most times you don't! Either way, you gotta play to win. When I say play to win, I mean just keep dropping content!

[@hempwizardbeardcareco3790]

Not super familiar with his channel I don't watch many reviewers or reviews, I find many of them to be disingenuous. I am friends with multiple owners of beard care companies, and sometimes I'll watch reviews of their products to show support but I don't get caught up in any of the drama I have too much going on to participate in that. I do however enjoy your channel because you are sincere with your reviews and that is quality content, I kinda care less about high quality video or clever editing, I know some people are into it but its not a priority for me. Anyway I'm just rambling at this point, much love and respect brotha.

[@beersoakedbeardsproductrev9743]

Great video. As a smaller reviewer I always try to be myself. I may stumble over words, may fuck up from time to time, but you get me. Start to finish.

[@kentuckybeardsman]

And that's the way it should be to be honest with you

[@lumpvision5746]

It's crazy because in a way, you're helping other channels. They say that all publicity is good publicity. Good, bad or ugly, the name is in people's mouths. I've never heard of this dude BUT I'm gonna check out his channel because of you. Again, thanks for the video. This is really a dope concept 👊🏾.

[@kentuckybeardsman]

It depends on how the person wants to look at it and also how they take it. If they watch the video then read the comments (which the more the better especially the honest and blunt ones) the more the channel can see what others think and want to see. I've got a rep of being blunt, asshole, and whatever else you can name me. Lol. It's due to being honest and truthful with people. Some like it and some don't. Some like to see others just follow them and support them even if they are lying

[@lumpvision5746]

@@kentuckybeardsman 💯

[@SamSamCigarMan]

I was a supporter at one time, but then some drama happened and I just left so that I wasn’t involved. Daniel has been polite to me and occasionally comments on my videos which is always nice. Nowadays I’ll watch one of his videos if the title grabs my attention or he is reviewing something I’m interested in. To be honest it’s hard to subscribe to many channels and only a few of them return the favor. So I tend to support the little guys more so than the big guys.

[@kentuckybeardsman]

Yeah that's very true and I'm the worst about catching others vids. I try but there are so many these days it's almost impossible. Lol plus I learned a year or so ago that this community, review thing, and 90% of the people have to come second. Family first. I was spending so much money and time on here and IG I was neglecting my family some and I ain't about that life

[@lumpvision5746]

IDK man. If you know me, you know I've been drama free in this game. Dude has a nice set up! WAY BETTER than my amateur style channel 🤣🤣🤣. Dope thumbnails, intro, camera, background, crispy mic! Like I said, I don't know the dude. I just watched ONE video but I liked what I saw.

[@kentuckybeardsman]

Oh yeah on camera he is a sweet heart. For sure he has a great setup and everything. I have the rinky dink phone and point and shoot style of videos. Like I said in my own EP 2 review I have the worst channel out there. Lol He has his good points for sure man, but his numbers seem to show one of two things either people just don't like the same ol same ol style videos or he has other issues, bc they would come back . Just my opinion

[@lumpvision5746]

@@kentuckybeardsman gotcha 👍🏾

[@crazyabesreviews8608]

I watched a few of his videos and they're nothing I haven't seen before. I can definitely see the similarities to Dan C. Besides doing my own thing, I watch reviews from reviewers I like when I get a chance. I don't need to see ten different reviewers telling me how to use beard oil or the differences between oil, butter, and balm. I prefer originality when it comes to content since I get enough ear fulls of repetitive bullshit at work.

[@alteschky5435]

Early on I watched him I figured ok a blue collar guy like myself I asked him a question about wearing balm at work and he gave me the exact answer from a Dan C video instead of just answering with His honest opinion. I will always consider advice but I’m still going to make my own decision, and if balm creates a protective coating on your beard to keep out hydraulic oil or bar oil from a chainsaw common sense tells me to wear it and not listen to a teacher who sits behind a desk. Great video Bro keep rolling em out!👍🤘

[@WesternRAM]

Daniel likes to take what he hears from Dan and repeat it. I’ve noticed that a lot too. He gives the same answer word for word. He’ll even make videos and his opinion will be the same as dans lol. Like if Daniel makes a video about how beard oil works or what balm does… it should have copywrite all over it because it’ll be the exact same answer that dan has previously said lol. I think Daniel takes what Dan says and makes his own video about it and pretends he has knowledge. Dan could make a video about gorilla ass hair is good for beards and daniel would come out with a video on “why gorillas ass hair is good for beards” 😂

[@lumpvision5746]

@@WesternRAM 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that last sentence! Funny as hell!

[@kentuckybeardsman]

Lol yes, wear the balm. I'd rather have dirt and dust attracted to my beard and look dirty knowing my beard is protected rather than the clean good looking beard that's getting wrecked by that dirt and dust!

[@WesternRAM]

@@lumpvision5746 LOL!!

[@ericmiller66674]

Another great video but I can't really give an opinion I've never seen any of his videos and don't watch DanC at all I feel like as grown men we don't need a video to tell me how to wash my face and have common sense that tells me if I have a bigger beard I need to use more product quite frankly DanC reminds me of a used car salesman always hinting around about that commission... 🤘🔥🤘

[@kentuckybeardsman]

I've honestly referred to him as a care salesman many times. Lol. He actually is just that a salesman, not a reviewer. Now Daniel is just a carbon copy of Dan minus the good salesman part. He used to be a cool kid honestly. It's sad it sold out to the numbers game.

[@johnnyTimothyRokket]

Usually if I’m subbed to other beard tubers it’s to get different views on products and scents. Like you say about Dan. He recommends mint and citrus scents and i don’t prefer those really. Daniel had good videos on the bearded Mack and he actually put me on Js beard essentials. Idk the back ground info but i am subbed to him. I don’t watch every video tho.

[@kentuckybeardsman]

Yeah like I said he has a lot of great variety as far as companies and stuff goes. By no means is this video to take anyone away from his channel or bash him. It's here to let him see the things that can make his stuff better. Also when others comment he can see it's not just me with those cons to give. He does really well with bigger companies outside of the beard world and his channel would take off if he just focused more on that IMHO

[@johnnyTimothyRokket]

@@kentuckybeardsmanhonestly , it wouldn’t matter if you bashed him or not. Criticism is needed with everything.

[@WesternRAM]

Kentucky - stellar review bro. You’ve been fucking killing it. You’ll be reaching 1,000 subs in no time brother. We’re here for the long haul keep doin you! 🤙🏼💯🤙🏼💯

[@chrisarney6449]

Drew, I am a fan of this series. I did what you asked, I checked out Daniel’s KZbin channel. I personally did not care for his style. His delivery is not smooth, it seems like he is trying to hard. It seems like he needs to relax and talk to his audience and share like he would with a friend. Thanks for sharing your insight and attempting to make this community better. Much appreciated, Brother 🤓👍❤️

[@WesternRAM]

💯💯 his delivery is not smooth at all. That’s a great way to phrase it and you’re absolutely right.

[@kentuckybeardsman]

Thanks Chris. Hopefully this vid helps him open his eyes and he will change his content up and grow his channel instead of using others to get subs.

[@scentadventure]

Great video. I'm not a fan of his channel so I'm not subscribed but I've watched a few of his videos.

[@bsly137]

I watched a few of his videos early on in my beard journey. I wasn't overly impressed. His production quality appears to have improved over the years but his content is lacking. I agree, his beard knowledge doesn't seem on the level of other reviewers. Regarding Dan C cloning in general, this seems like a loosing proposition because many are not as smooth as Dan C and do not put out the number of videos like Dan C does so most would just watch Dan C rather than a clone. The monotone laid back review style doesn't really work for me.

[@kentuckybeardsman]

Yeah for sure as far as the I guess we'll call it copying dancy style it's purposeless honestly because then see is Dan C and no one else is going to be able to copy that. Now he's shut down his channel and going to start a beard company so that's going to be interesting because most reviewers that go to a company find out the hard way it's not that easy and all those friends he had while he was a reviewer those company friends that he had aren't going to support him the same way because now he is the competition

[@lumpvision5746]

Also, I'm being the typical knuckle head. I've known about your channel for a good bit but never hit the subscribe button until today 🤦🏾‍♂️.

[@kentuckybeardsman]

😂 all good

[@petewhite4586]

This video series topic is one ive always thought was a great idea

[@kentuckybeardsman]

Thanks Peter. I truly appreciate all you do to support me and the channel.

[@shoulderz4822]

he wears black shirt almost all the time it is because his beard is see through near the bottom of his beard not trying to bad bust just noticed it. for me he i not my style he thinks he is much bigger then he is trust me, I get that from him

[@WesternRAM]

True. His beard is very transparent at towards the bottom.

[@kentuckybeardsman]

Oh 1,000% he thinks he's bigger than he actually is. He used to be the guy that would talk crap about dancing and that whole circle of guys that are his best friends now and then when I noticed that he started being a hypocrite and started hanging out with all those guys while still talking crap about him behind closed doors I called him out for it and then he started dogging me because my channel is so small and how he's going to make his channel way bigger and better than mine and he has his finger on the pulse of the community. And this is when he had like 150 subs and just joined the community

[@Join0rDIE1776]

He’s a dan c mini me. He watches Dan c and then makes his video exactly the same he goes right through me how slick and cool he tries to act like when he slaps his camera before every intro I just get DOUESHBAG VIBE HARDDDD

Great video as usual and yes he talks all monotone which is why I stopped listening to him. Talking low and no energy gets boring to watch.

[@charliemoon29]

I really was enjoying his content early in the year but fell off can’t recall when exactly. Something I caught on, might be insignificant. He doesn’t review or talk about certain beard companies anymore that he used to but will seek those products on beard pages. He’s totally started catering to certain companies. Like alley cat, wonder why…

[@kentuckybeardsman]

Yeah 100%, he's just doing it trying to be the cool kid
