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.

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.

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 :D... if you only knew how many private family videos I have... :D no need for tv entertainment in my house :D

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

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

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.

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!
