Hey all - seeing as the youtube comments section is basically always a dumpster fire I though I would create a thread for general constructive criticism and various feedback of all sorts for YT reviewers. Keep it civil but feel free to voice your YT review pet peves, constructive criticism or want to see more (please keep this general and don't list specific individuals unless its positive) and also to ensure things keep positive list out your favorite reviewer as a good example of reviews well done.
I will kick it off.
Constructive Criticism - I really wish the YT reviewers would start with a basic understanding of the knifes core design and not bad mouth it when it does not perform well outside of that core design (example "this thin ground skinning knife sucks because it chipped when I was batoning it through an ash log with a rock"). This is ok when its intended to be a funny review, but when they are serious they loose me.
Want to see more - I would love to see more reviews with tradition folders in use. Many of the traditional reviews are fantastic but mostly focused on collecting. More in-use videos with traditional knives would top my want to see list.
YT Favorite - I think a great example of a review well done is (Virtuovice) he always seems very genuine and more like the camera is just with him, opposed to a forced/BS review. His reviews are almost always PG rated, simple/straight forward and informative. Another good example on a different end of the spectrum is (advanced knife bro). Videos are funny, informative and not trying to act like everything is a live or die situation.
