Wow this thread is absolute garbage and is completely devoid of class. But seeing how it was started by infamous threadcrapper "four_shore" I'm really not surprised.
Dan, I'd love to see YOU try to do a video review. It's real easy to be an armchair commando and talk a bunch of trash, but I've yet to see your efforts materialize into anything besides hot air.
I understand there are a good deal of poor quality knife videos on youtube, and it's a running joke for people on knife forums to stereotype and berate people on youtube (trust me, it's a two way street, and you are a shining example of the sterotypical asshat forum member), but calling people out by name does nothing but breed negative energy and invite contempt. And of course it's all done behind faceless avatars in typical gestappo forum style. No one here would have the balls to really attach their names to any of this nonsense, let alone say it to anyone's face.
I'm surprised such a patently negative and utterly worthless thread would even be allowed on a discussion forum intended to promote the intelligent discussion of knives. Grow up.
lol what thread. well done guys, just another proof of how much you tube is better then forums... its so easy to trash on others from behind the keyboard... im actually surprised that my name didnt popped up yet lol
i dont normally comment on these type of threads but, i have to. first off this Four_shore guy who stared this tread is just extremely tasteless and the fact that this is just a thread based on everyones opinions is true, but to make a thread like this and know damn well it will create this type of bashing on the youtube community is wrong and pathetic regardless if they are just ones opinions, these type of opinions need to be kept to your self. If you dont like what one is doing or saying dont watch their channel period some people i cant watch but im not going to go make a thread in the knife community trying to get people on my side to bash them... how immature is that? do you not have some real friends? do you need some sort of acceptance some where cause deep down your a lonely lonely loser?. we all should be embracing all things knives, because we all share a common interest and bond i would think, we should be praising and giving props to our fellow knife community brothas and sistas.. and honestly the guys and chicks who make these vides, i give them more props then us who sit here on a thread behind a computer and type shit. they put them self out there for their actual voice to be heard and to entertain i think that takes more balls then sitting behind a screen criticizing people and punching some keys. its disgusting to even wanna talk bad about some people who only wanna share what they know, which might not be a lot, but none the less it is and could be informative to some people. and i know those guys dont need me to stand up for them cause they are grown men and im sure dont care about what everyone says about them, but honestly its tasteless and pathetic. and im sure some may call this childish and whatever else but where i come from people like you get smacked in their little bitch mouths and if i were one of the guys you were talkin shit about and bashing you would get smacked like a little bitch. So there is my rant like it or hate it. i said my piece. PEACE!!
lol what happened here. unless you make youtube videos you have no right to criticize anything we do on there, we spend money on cameras, knives etc and spend out time putting up these videos and yet it seems some people take that as a chance to criticize us? someone who contributes nothing to the youtube knife community has next to no right to bash someone who contributes. ill be the first to admit that there are some channels i dont enjoy but this is just ridiculous.
and its so incredibly obvious that the person who created this thread wanted to start beef with people. no one cares who the worst is because they arnt strapped to a chair and forced to watch " the worst channels on youtube." if you dont like a channel dont watch it, but dont come to bladeforums and start talking crap about other people.
As for vids I dislike? None, there are some that are quite bad... But, If I don't have anything nice to say... Well you know.
you said that as if anything i said was wrong, disrespectful or arrogant... which i dont think it was. i do believe that its a shame that i have to even try to bring such a thing to attention here and if whoever runs this place finds it wrong and kicks me out for it so be it. but i doubt that would happen because everybody in their right mind knows that i am right. what i dont get is why would you even bring that argument to your defense in the mess you got yourself to with such a ridiculous thread.
realistically with a thread like this one you made, inadvertently you did make it BF vs YT in a sense..if you ahvent seen it by now then you may need to open your eyes a bit..its just that all the others that had started off bashing have been silenced by the people coming in defense of the YT ppl.
I did stand up for these guys when I called the thread out on the 2nd or third page by saying this thread sucked (and got a bunch of flack and a warning from a mod for it). And guess what? This thread still sucks. All it has done is piss every one off under some guise of objectivity and you feeling slighted because of some "hypocrisy" - those objectives have failed multiple times now. Trust me, I know a piece of garbage when I smell it. I know when it's time to take out the trash. The way I see it this thread is a huge black mark on the otherwise cool knife review and testing subforum.
To move on to the next extremely childish point - comparing bashing youtube channels to a review of a knife.
First of all, it's worth mentioning that typically a knife review involves constructive criticism (if it's a good review at least). Very little of the criticism here has been constructive. It's one thing to disagree with someone and the content of their videos, but to create a thread about the "worst youtube reviewers" is not inviting constructive criticism. It's inviting bashing - which is exactly what happened for the first few pages.
But the real distinction lies in the fact that PEOPLE are not the same as INANIMATE OBJECTS.
At the end of the day we are talking about people here. For example - Someone doesn't like Jdavis's channel? Take a hike, don't watch the videos - because John IS that channel. Sure we can backpedal and say "oh, I'm just objectively critiquing his channel, I like John, just not his channel," but by making blanket statements about what are the worst channels or channels you don't like is ripping on that channel. In turn that is ultimately ripping on the person behind the channel. (Feel free to say once again how you like John but not his channel. Whatever man, we've heard it all before - it's not working. Just do us all a big favor and delete this thread.)
Ultimately you are ripping on people.
Now ripping on people in forums is nothing new (hence this thread still being in existence - this kind of stuff is unfortunately par for the course), but YouTube happens to be the kind of place where you can actually make real connections with people. Case in point, I'm going to a knife show tomorrow and meeting a friend from YouTube. We have exchanged emails, traded knives, talked about our mutual experiences and have chatted on Skype. So we take this seriously. The people you rip on in this thread matter. YouTube is a community and a brotherhood, and it's based on respect - something that is sorely lacking in this particular thread. Your continued pushing of some whack agenda shows an incredible amount of disrespect to all of us, and it's not appreciated.
I like John, and I like TuffThumbz (Geoff), and I like Smokeater (Robbie) and, I like everyone else. So to hear people rip on them offends me. If people rip on my friends, frankly I get extremely pissed off - not just on the computer, in real life too. Hence my somewhat heated initial post. "Sorry" if it came off as a little bit of a personal attack and a violation of the rules of this forum (I'm not sorry), but if someone is talking trash about my friends or family I'll take their head off - and I won't freaking apologize for it.
Blood is thicker than water. Loyalty is something that means a lot to me. I support the people that support me, and a slap on the face to them is the same as a slap one the face to me. Frankly if it means getting banned so be it.
See whats sad is the OP doesnt realize that he is just pissing in the wind. He's back tracking on what he said knowing full well that this stupid thread was nothing but a malicious attempt to get back at some YouTuber that he obviously is jealous of. There is no other reason that an "individual" would try to bash others who he thinks is beneath him. Lets be honest the true intent of someone to criticize others is to express some sort of dominance over them. Apparently his intention what to get at others who he thinks is getting the recognition undeservingly. Why you might ask, well obviously its because of some sort of self consciousness or perhaps some sort of lack of acknowledgement from peers. Why would some one want to start a thread in an online forum to express some sort of disatisfaction with others in another online forum?
Does he not realize that the collective support of all the Youtubers he is openly bashing trumps him in his own forum. Ive read through every page and there is maybe a handful of people who are close to his narrow minded thinking? Even the smallest Youtube knife reviewer or knife enthusiast like myself has more supporters than this person in their own thread? What gets me is that the Op is probably thinking that he has achieved some sort of victory over the YouTube knife community just by posting a thread like this!!
Threads like this is why I dont like BF. It gives idiots like the OP a soap box to spread their hate and stupidity. Good going Four_shore for starting this thread. Not only did it help us realize that people like you are the problem with online forums but it also help unify the community that you sought to bring down. Keep back tracking on the stupid things you say and defend your ignorance because it will only help the YouTube community get bigger and better. It will help bring exposure to our small niche on the interwebs.
HEAR HEAR!!
What a tuff guy you are - nice for you that you are still standing. It doesn't take away the fact that a lot of people disrespect you, at least I do. The sole fact that the vast majority of this thread is about how sh*t it is and how sh*t you are for starting it and you trying to defend and/or explaining yourself says enough - in my humble opinion.i will consider it but i'm still standing up and standing behind everything stated by me in this thread.
