Nobody likes a bogan.

I have liked some in my past but the world seems to be increasingly populated with them. I would not like a world of them.
EDIT
If by "Bogan" it is meant as Australian slang for a person whose speech, clothing, attitude and behavior are considered unrefined or unsophisticated.

Absolutely not, on the contrary. Sadly such things do exist and are developed, up to now they always fail and create false positives en masse. With the number of languages I don't see it getting near "good" any time soon. On youtube that means demonitization so creators who get flagged by the algorithm have to look for other means to make money.
This "shut down things I find offensive" mentality is the bane of our time and will likely end up in another totalitarian nightmare.

The same thing happens to TV announcers. They get bleeped. It's common in American TV.

I just don't go to a site the second time if the reviewer doesn't suit my language standards. Of course, there's a pile of reviews for every product. I can always depend on a few other reviewers to help me decide if I want to plunk down my cash for a product.

I just threw that out there as it's his theme tune by Area 7.
Personally I quite enjoy a bit of Bogan when I'm in the right mood. He must have a real name, no idea what it is.
It depends if I'm after information or entertainment .
Gratuitous profanity can be quite an art form, having grown up listening to Peter Cook and Dudley Moore and having a brother in law that makes the Bogan sound like a Sunday school teacher , I can find the funny side.
I even find FOWTBatman amusing at times.
As a dyed in the wool libertarian I reckon there is room for all shades of reviewer, even those that are basically just product placement .
If you don't like it , move on.

I don't usually have the patience to look through a whole video. I prefer to go to a vape shop and get suggestions and tutorials in person.

TiaVapes is the only YouTube reviewer that I can stand (not trying to promote; just thought it was relevant).
You must have better vape shops than us. I'd get better advice for vape gear at the tire shop .

He has over 115,000 people subscribed to his channel. Just because you don't like him, there are lots of people that would dsagree. I like the bogan much better than djlsb, but I'm sure there are others that feel the opposite way.

Too many of the big timers say they do not get paid for their reviews, which is supposed to make them look more honest, but push for us viewers to donate money to them. Which means they get paid for their reviews.

Currently I only watch one reviewer, Pal 702, because I agree with the way he does things. Minds his battery condition in the video, builds within the CDR of his batteries, and does a wide range of products from cheap to very high end.

I can’t seem to find Pal 702 on YouTube. Can you add a link for me? I’d lie to check it out. Thanks.

Yeah, I've heard of some crappy vape shops. We don't have too many shops here in Baltimore. The one I go to is about a mile away from my home, so I just walk there daily. There's a guy not too much older than me named Ian. He knows what he is doing, that's for sure! The majority of the Google reviews are 5 stars and mention Ian. He taught me how to build my RDA and about Ohms Law. When I made my first purchase at the store, it totaled around $160. I only had $120. He reduced the price on everything I picked so I could afford it. That was an awesome experience and I go there a few times a week just to hang out and vape at the juice bar.

If i want/need advice with my vape i always either call or visit my favorite vape shop, mostly because i've trusted them many times and never was deceived. If i want to know about a specific tank,rda,mod or anything of that nature then i search on youtube, but i evade some bigger names because i simply don't like their content and how they present it.

In the end lots of people said it already : Don't trust youtubers for reviews of anything, i never did and never will i only watch them to see the product and know what it does.

For the "foul mouthed" i really don't care much about it, i swear alot (in french ofc) myself so dosen't bother me in the slightest.
