Anyone else HATE video reviews? (Rant)

[LowThudd]

I'm sorry, I know people put good hard work ito them, but I HATE video reviews. Please, just type your words. I gain nothing from video reviews that I can't gain from a well writen text review. I am just really tierd of having to sort through like 10 min of video to sort out the 20 sec or so that matters. I'm sure that this is a pet peave, but maybe others feel the same way.

I guess you can always ask for a written review on a certain juice. I can see your point. I always like it when they make faces when they drag on their pv

I just hate the reviewer that doesn't take the time to actually know how the mod works... makes me wanna smack em

Lol that annoys me to no end. It's possibly the goofiest thing ever.

Never watch them because I hate them so much. Acting is always awkward and terrible and more times than not the reviews are done out of favor to the supplier. Just bugs me. If someone is doing a video review, there is usually a good reason behind it. Now I'm not saying people don't do video reviews for the benefit of others anymore. There are some who do. But nowadays it's usually for the benefit of themselves or the supplier.

 

[LowThudd]

Yea, I don't watch them atall. Writen word makes more sense to me. I'm glad I'm not alone, I almost thought it was just me.

The only reviews I tend to watch are those for the mods. It's really hard to tell what a particular mod really looks like lying on someone's table, especially in regard to size. What looks like a small mod in a photo may well turn out to be huge in someone's hand.

Just the facts please,I dont want to watch you vape.I dont want you to ramble on and on.Sucking on a PV for a 15 secound drag is not attractive.Keep it short and to the point please!Ya,I guess I dislike video reviews.

 

[Lightgeoduck]

awww I don't do many.. but my spoken word is better than my written...

oh well I don't really watch video reviews, but love watching mine so I at least have one number one fan


please don't let my post interfere with your rant... I see all point of views

 

[jj2]

I love the how-to videos but don't care for the reviews. Like OP said, type it out.

 

[Lightgeoduck]

well one thing that always puzzled me were juice reviews... but I look at it as a way for the people that have a desire to make videos to test the waters.. since they are easily available

I do have to admit I did one or two.. but again..I love watching my videos ... if you only knew how many private family videos I have... no need for tv entertainment in my house

 

[keyzygirl]

Well Ducky,I love your videos.Your just so darn cute!!!

LOL Now we know the reason for the video reviews, they're all narcissists! *Hugs the duck*

Oh, and +1 for jj's mention of how to videos. Those are definitely helpful.

Video reviews of juices make NO sense to me. Some of the PV, cart, carto, refill, etc, vids have been pretty decent. But for cripe sakes don't make me sit there and watch you vape for 5 minutes. THAT part I really do hate

 

[Mr.Self_Destruct]

i'll only watch vids on devices I'm interested in. I'll never understand the juice vid reviews.

 

[Pav]

Some are good, many are not. It's probably due to a lack of editing and prep. Most just turn the camera on and start talking. I've seen quite a few 10 minute videos that could be edited down to about a minute or less.

It's nice to see some things (like techniques) demonstrated though.

 

[5cardstud]

I agree LT. If they would just give the review instead of all the drama and build up before hand it wouldn't be so bad. I usually just slide the video to the important part and skip the prelims.

 

[scinsc]

I have mixed feelings about this. I started vaping in large part because I watched some videos by Shawn at Zigcigs. Very good for a beginner.
I can see your point though most of them take too much time.

 

[LowThudd]

I guess I should have been more specific. Tech stuff is one thing, I don't consider that a review. And demonstrations of unique mods is nice. But juice reviews, rants and common PV reviews I can totally do w/out. Anything you can say you can type. I guess if someone really wanted to, they could go to voice recognition software to avoid the keys. But since I can't smell, taste or feel TH through the comp(yet. lol). I just don't see the point. I'm glad I'm not alone, and I certainly didn't mean to offend anyone. Hopefully this thread can be taken as constructive criticizm more than anything.

 

[Big Hitter]

I can pretty much tell by the preview pic of the vid if its going to waste my time or not. Some people just shouldn't be allowed to ramble on with a camera running.
If its someone with a good cam and a bit of prep work done they are usually worth the 3-5 min.

On the other hand if its some stoner that can't put a sentence together to save his (her) ... or keep their eyes open its going to suck. You know the ones, they usually have two buddies playing Xbox 360 in the background.

Now un-boxing vids are worthless, c'mon at least use the thing for a few days before you tell me your lame opinion!
