My favorite person to watch it GrimmGreen, I trust his opinion.
He just seems real, and like he is sitting there talking to you and not trying to over act.
I like to watch Rip but he seems to say the thing he is reviewing is the best thing since his last review of the last product or build. It's hard to trust that.......that and he started to get preachy and well the over acting.
Like Todd but hard to keep up, he seems to upload a new video daily (you must have a crazy collection my friend)
pbusardo is very informative but goes long on most of his videos....he also had a preachy stage that killed it for me.
Now as a lower end youtube guy (just under 2000 subs) I can say I've not made one cent on my videos. I monetized 2 of my least viewed videos to open up all the options in youtube. I will never monetize all my videos as I want people to tune in and not get bombed with a bunch of needless ads. I also will never take bribes to say a juice, or device is good. If I get a junk juice or device i'll contact the vendor to let them know my review wont be good. If they ask me to go for it I will make the negative review and be 100% honest. So far only had one vendor that never replied and I never made the review because the juice was just pure garbage and a waste of time to review. Typically the juice will get corrected or I give it a negative review. Devices I am as honest as possible, I use the product for at least a week or longer before I review it and point out all the pros and cons. If a device has a con that can be fixed, i'll make a secondary video showing you how to fix that issue.
I want my viewers to trust me 100%, the only way to achieve that is to not sugar coat the truth. Mostly I enjoy doing my build tutorials (I need to make one today actually) and have thought about not doing juice reviews. But I do have a following of viewers who love to watch them. Even though taste is highly subjective I try to judge a juice based on a few key factors so even if It's not my type I can still give a good honest taste profile.
I also have to say the freebies we get as reviewers does not make up for the time invested in making the videos, formating them, editing them, uploading them, answering the questions, doing the testing, the devices we must buy to make and edit the videos, the networking, and the social media....as well as the research. All this while still trying to be honest and entertaining and informative. (I literally spent 12 hours yesterday from start to finish on 5 reviews)
Also of course I ask people to subscribe to my channel if they enjoy my videos...I also tell them if they think i'm an a**hole to not subscribe lol. It's not so I can make money, but it's more so that I can reach out to as many vapors as possible.
Yea I know tl;dr
VAPE ON!!!
