    Youtube reviews are about getting attention, not spreading quality information. Don't even watch them.

    Too right. Anybody can make youtube vids: there is no way that "youtube" adds any status to "reviewer."

    OK OK, I guess that, if you form the view that one or more of these folk has stuff to say that you find useful to hear, then no reason why you shouldn't. Just like forums and printed material.

    I do watch some camera/lens/etc reviewers. I do watch some people who do interesting stuff in their life.

    I tend not to watch anything about audio, because youtube/the-internet is fundamentally incompatible with demonstrating audio. Of course, if it's screwdriver stuff, or how to get these pesky ear pads off and back on again, that's different.

    Thing is, people used to blog. Now they want an audience and advertising revenue.

    Rd is right, social media is about having polarizing content. Doesn’t matter if you are right or wrong. Just as long as the comment section blows up and people hate watch or criticize your opinions.

    I’m guilty but hey it seems true to me. In the end we hear different and sometimes people we disagree with are just as valuable as those we agree with.

    @Gazny, fair enough!

    But my life is so full of internet, I don't have time for the stuff I don't actually like! Excepting news content, of course: much of which, given the state of the world, is unpleasant.
