YouTube review problems - a podcast by Aim for the Bushes

I got a fever and the only cure is ranting about YouTube reviews. That’s right folks, we’re going back to Youtube and the issues I have with review channels and endorsements made by influences on the platform. It’s not always clear what incentives channels/people might have when they review or endorse a product. Sometimes you might not even realize that someone is sponsored.

I don’t say it directly in the episode but I’m not trying to suggest that don’t get poor reviews ever, just that the way things are set up there’s a larger incentive to gloss over any faults a product/service may have.

Here is the video I reference. This is about soccer cleats, but it applies to any kind of review. You don’t have to watch the whole thing, just the first 3 minutes:

That’s all for this week.

Thanks for listening!

Peace.
