It always cracks me up....the expectations we put on these people. They're just vapers with enough time on their hands to video themselves vaping. Some like to portray themselves as engineers or experts, but in all reality, they probably worked in a Starbucks or a warehouse a few years ago.
There is one or two I could see myself having coffee with....like Todd or that Pal702 guy. But, for the most part, they're self appointed experts with giant egos who found a way to make money doing something they enjoy. Good for them. I did too....I happen to love wrecking buildings.
If I'm offended by any of their content, I certainly have the option to not watch .

I wish you hadnt, we're not all like that here in Oz....







Confession: I grew up in a bogan stronghold, but i gave up the flannelette shirts a few decades ago :)
I would imagine your population is as varied as our own here in the US.

I don’t watch for their opinion, I watch because they have the mod or tank in hand. I watch to see how they put the cotton in it, or how the menu works, or how big the mod looks. I don’t care one bit if they love it or hate it, it’s the closest I can get to seeing it before buying.

Profanity doesn’t offend me. Words are just words. Now, if you use words to be cruel to other people, profane or not, that offends me no end.

I watch that pink haired lady, she rarely swears. And also the Scottish guy, he rarely swears as well. The bald guy, uses some choice words but occasionally, but he ambles on too much. So he is a bit dull.

There is one bearded guy with a heavy southern accent, he swears a lot. But is alright.

As for me, i dont mind it, but you dont really drop bombs to express yourself. I guess its a good way, to gain popularity, a lot of folks might find it "cool".

When i talk, my sentences start with slang, punctuation are a slang, ends in a slang. But that is only among friends.

Why? Because it worked for Rip. Since he gets view everyone has to copy to try to get views.
It's funny if you find an old rip video of him building protanks it's a very different Rip. Did he copy someone who was more popular? It wouldn't surprise me.

While you may not like it those who watch them must. If more people would turn them off the next popular thing would get copied.

I really enjoy the Vaping Bogan (Sam Parsons is his real name) 100% legit, no sponsors, no affiliate links and he is not a shill unlike the others. I can't stand Fagan and can tolerate the Heathen in small doses. I have zero use for that thing from Jersey, those from the roxynoodle days on VU know why.

IndoorSmokers was always too creepy for my liking, his 420 channel was even worse. :lol: The Armed Vapor never really had a clue and I haven't watched Rip in years, his antics got too out of hand for me.

Used to watch Bussardo back in the Kayfun days for the charts, Daniel has surpassed him in that area but he can be a little douchie at times...

I always try to check out Mark Todd, Dean and Damien when I can, their stuff can be a little high end sometimes, especially Damien (Bloody Good Vaping).

It's all about what you like and who has the best info without being an outright shill...

It's not about if they cuss, it's about how many times they can drop the f-bomb in a sentence. I doubt that some of them could put together a coherent sentence with out their particular vernacular.

It's most likely an act. It's what sells.

This is probably closer to the real person,

Just saw a few reviews of this guy named Bogan. His reviews are nice and informative. But cant get over the fact, he is painted like a wall. I was more looking at his tattoos than the mods/tanks. But yes, does swear a lot. Just not my thing.

I prefer the Brits, probably years of football commentary has conditioned my ears to the accent and the stiff upper lip thing! ;)

YouTube reviewers are paid and forced to say whatever product they review is "great" and "fantastic". This has been proven time and time again. Just watch for closeups and mute.

Not all reviewers get paid, unless you count the item sent on for review as payment and I can say that I have purchased a lot more item than what I have had sent in for review. I think I have used the word great for about a handful of items that was great at the time and have never use the word fantastic.

I do reviews to show the item off and say what my opinion of the item is and sometimes I will say how they can make it better for me, I don't think I have used any swear words yet on camera neither.

I have a hard enough time understanding Mr. Todd...
