  • 🚨 MAJOR CHANGES Coming to This UA-cam Channel! 🚨
    The past few weeks have been terrible, and it took another UA-camr to wake me up and make me realize how badly I'd strayed from the path I set for myself.

    Grazie fratello for the shout out. This was a very brave and honest video to make. I really appreciate you sharing your backstory and laying out your new pragmatic approach. I also respect the fact you made the decision to go in front of camera, it takes courage and fortitude, something that is so easily taken for granted by those that never have done it. Don't worry about timing, quality over quantity ALWAYS. Slow and steady always wins the race. As Stallone always says, just keep punching! Let me know if there is anyway I can do to help. I look forward to seeing whatever you come up with.
    Onwards and ever upwards!
    T.

    Extremely honest and transparent upload, we live in a world full of obscure deception and deceptive behaviour shown from individuals with closely guarded agendas. It’s refreshing to see honesty these days and always stay true to one’s morals and beliefs. I wish you well going forward and believe in yourself and your integrity.

    It takes guts and integrity to do what you’ve just done and the changes you’re making to your reviewing process.
    I’ve seen the advertising manipulation of the industry press for years in audio and feel it devalues the findings of all reviews not just the ones that are clearly about keeping the paymasters happy.
    I worked for a well respected Japanese brand for many years and we brought out a mass market product, that was perfectly suited to the job it had to do, but compared to our other products was pretty awful. We decided the press were not going to have one to review it.
    Despite this, one of the magazines who we advertised heavily with brought this product and gave it a 5 out of 5 star review! We were all very surprised, but it was clear they didn’t want to upset the apple cart, rather than review it properly.
    Put your integrity first, as you clearly are, and people will take you seriously.
    Good luck

    It's good to hear your thoughts, I've been watching TGV for years, so that's why I'm here. However, I think people can take things a bit too seriously. Just because I watch a video that recommends a watch does not mean I will automatically buy it, if I do buy it after subsequent research and I have problems, that is not the UA-cam reviewers fault. Caveat emptor after all. Some AliExpress watches are fantastic quality some are terrible, I've had both, I don't even bother with warranty claims, even if I have to find a replacement movement, the overall cost is still a bargain compared to large manufacturers products and so far I've only had one fail. I watch UA-cam watch videos for entertainment, I want to see the UA-camr enjoying watches and using them, the advertorial videos are usually easy to spot, not even sizing the bracelet is a classic giveaway. If you enjoy making them continue, if not, do something else you do enjoy.
