24:46 my point exactly. When Harrier was launched it was declared as next best thing 2 years down the line the same channels who were praising the car left right and centre declared it garbage, they started pointing out issues with the car which they hadn’t earlier. I remember vikas bhai was the only one who said that steering can be calibrated a bit better and no one else did but ekdam se xuv 700 ke aate hi Harrier ka steering bekar hogaya and then again when tata came up with red-dark edition , Harrier ka steering acha ho gaya. Why the hypocrisy? That’s why I firmly believe that car reviews should be used for identifying what to look out for and be informed about the product but car apni budhi ka prayog karke lein. I think Mahindra has it’s PR going strong. There were obvious problems with the product that you could see during the test drive but UA-cam pe toh aisi wah wahi ho rahi thi ki baap re. For getting information about a car I only refer to V3 cars and Icn studio because I can only trust these two to provide with a genuine video highlighting the issues and praising the right things. Keep up the great work Gagan and Vikas bhai Much respect.
Honestly at the beginning the first name came to my mind was " Motoroctane " as I strongly felt they were biased about TATA & Mahindra products ( Specially after watching INNOVA hycross vs XUV 700 Video ). Eventually the name "Motoroctane" poped up in podcast making my doubts clear. This video is gonna win lots of hearts ❤
@@kiranm25x exactly. I’ve wanted to say this for so long. DDS ko jab dekho bas Nexon aur Altroz ke peeche pada rehta hai. Sunderdeep Singh ki toh rehne hi do, wo toh VW Skoda ka paaltu 🐶 hai
@@deepanshjawrani Sunderdeep Singh kiya bura bolta hai? Hyundai builds 5 star safe cars for European market. Why not for India market? Indian lives are cheaper I guess.
Motoroctane ka paid promotion is different, he make a series like top 10 reason to buy this or that car, those are i guess sponsored one....Cuz there reviews are like pretty much ok
Hope the video helps clarify a lot of thing related to paid collaborations being practiced by content creators and manufacturers. Have a great Sunday! 😀
Sir there’s another problem I think. I’ve seen that even though the video might not be paid, aome reviewers won’t criticise anything about the car because they know that if they criticise the next time the company won’t send a car for media or even call them to their events in the future.
Geniun conversation I i have take example,, i owned jeep compass.. every thing is good in that car , like build, quality interior, suspension, steering response is accurate, jeep engine is good But no one channel show their interest in that product. Even if u check same engine has been came in tata herrier, with lot of fit and finish issues, but many channels never give their negitive feedback for that car. Yes i agree service network is not strong point of jeep
@@vinaykumar-wz2by bro no one says Jeep Compass is a bad product. But it’s top model costs over 30 Lakh. So it’s competition is now with Tucson and XUV700. And there those are much better cars. In India ultimately the question boils down to, is the Jeep Compass worth paying extra 10 Lakhs over a Creta, Seltos or Grand Vitara? Compass is better, but not worth 10 Lakhs more than them.
before this podcast it was pretty much impossible to figure out whether the video is paid or not, sometimes it feels but couldn't figure out because of lack of knowledge of this work industry. Glad that u made this video. 😁
It is the narration by Vikas Yogi and Gagan Chaudhary, which has a larger image than any brand. You two are already big Barnds and are doing great job. We always fall back on your old videos to have a proper perspective. Keep it up.
Yes! , I've noticed Motor Octane and other so called big medias upload videos without mentioning that it's paid promotion. Since then i un-subscribed these channels and only have few medias in my subscription list.
Very nice of you two that you have given many insights on this industry. Appreciate your views on sanctity, winning trust of viewers and content creators being socially and morally responsible and with integrity.
Thank you for bringing this issue up. Had watched channels like Motoroctane making an absolute mockery of car community by peddling ads in guise of reviews. Only talking positives of certain "patriotic" brands, while not talking about any negatives. At times I noticed them selling absolute lies to make the car seem better than it is. Channels like these are dangerous as many people trust them and end up putting lacs of their hard earned money in wrong choices.
“Patriotic” brands is the key word here and such media channels are making full use of the andhbhakt janta’s emotions of being filled with patriotism when they see great reviews of “Humarey desh ki mitti/loha sey bani” brands - Mahindra and Tata. Saw many videos of Adrenox malfunctioning dangerously while driving wherein the digital speedometer goes blank or hangs. And everybody knows about the shambolic Tata after-sales service. They do create some good cars but nobody talks about the real issues people face after buying these cars. The aam janta are basically “beta-testers” of cars filled with new age tech.
I really felt a sense of appreciation for both of you guys. Matlab apni hi industry ke bare me sach bolna is something what takes courage and really appreciate the honesty.❤👍🙏
"Khamma ghani deviyo aur sajjano. My name is Vikas Yogi [and my name is Gagan] and here's everything you need to know about sponsored videos aur unhe na declare karne waalo ki beimaaniya". Tahe dil se shukriya Vikas aur Gagan bhai..this needed guts. Khoob tarakki karen.
Very insightful video. We are viewers and those of us who are discerning, definitely realise who the sold out reviewers are. It's not just their content but their mannerisms and the method of presentation that reveals their position - intent. An honest reviewer will be identifiable in his mannerism and both Gagan Chaudhary and Vikas Yogi are prime examples of that. I've seen them being irritated, even a bit frustrated at times with some aspects of a product or the company and these are indications of an honest person. A person who is always happy, sweet and charming is hiding a lot. As someone very interested in automobiles, I watch a lot of car channels, but when I want actual insight & info about a car, I turn to Gangan and ICN, like recently for the Jimmy drive reviews. You guys are doing a great job and that you are honest is a cherry on the cake. Your credibility, for me atleast, is way higher than any AutoCar or Car & Bike. Keep up the good work, there are good viewers who appreciate honesty and will always support your work (till you stay honest). All the best to both of you and hope we have a long relationship as content providers and viewers. Jai Hind. Vande Mataram.
The whole video I was thinking of only one man who I could identify as bika hua, and that is our very own totla Rachit from Motor Octane. I had only last week finally understood that he does paid promotions when he judged my Mahindra ScorpioN as a better car than Toyota Fortuner 😅. You guys put a stamp of approval on it towards the end of your video. Thanks for this video. 🙏🏼
Now listening about the Tigor EV, it feels like Arun Pawar also did a video about it, where he drove it the whole day in and around Delhi for around 100kms I believe and as much as I remember, he didn't mention it anywhere.
No PowerDrift , MotorBeam , MotorOctane were harmed during this video 🤣. Context : The face of PowerDrift (Sagar Sheldekar) once himself left the firm Bcoz of paid content and as he is an unbiased reviewer he can't sell fake information about products he used . So in sake of truth he left PowerDrift first in 2015 . And afterwards Vikram and Shumi (Shubhabhrata Marmar) left PowerDrift in 2021 end Bcoz they were sick of doing paid reviews and selling fake info to the public while in case of MotorBeam , they always sell fake info if Dhanil Vira is reviewing anything in a comparison video . While Faisal never does any kind of paid review he just shows us what is the vehicle . Do note that Powerdrift has many more media houses rather than its own domain and their names are ZigWheels , CarandBike . Stay aware stay safe from these kind of channels .
@@motard_lonewolf Okk. Thats why there are so many interchanges in anchors lots of times. Lately I have started following MotoInc a lot where Shumi and Kartikeya are there. Sagar has his channel, however he more into premium bikes, but still his quality and presentation is awesome. MotorOctane, I guess there were couple of anchors/reviewers early on, who left and started Gearflick.
@@ragschavan You're absolutely right brother . I did the same like you do . Follow genuine reviewers to get clarity over every single thing . And yes Imma big of Sagar Sheldekar . He is awesome and has more experience than many more reviewers and enthusiasts . Plus GearFlick is also nowadays not doing any well . They need to switch the quality of their content irrespective of sponsored videos . They seriously need to improve themselves.
I still remember one video of Yogi ji where he reached Meghalaya in Ford ecosport to explore the nature and inbetween he was promoting the car. I liked that video very much.
Aacha lga aise video dekh kr. Kafi detailed and informative tha. Logo ko lagta hai ki sirf media hi Godi-media hai. Truely appreciate your honesty. MotorOctane ki viewers issi wajah se kafi drop ho gye hai, kyunki paid videos banata hai.
End of the day its a product, you test drive it yourself and decide, all review videos can be watched for an idea and then finally go with your instint
I felt this for Rajat from "Motoroctane" from last year even that how cleverly he mold things. I never said anything in his comment section, obviously he not gonna admit it but I unsubscribed him from that time and Ya I am with you guys only until you are honest with me( as a member of Public). Thank you Bhaiyo 🙏🏽
I don't know about other channels but i have noticed motoroctane is doing such things for very long time and you can clearly tell if you watch their videos
Kudos to both of you.. very courageous and bold from you to openly discuss this.. hope everyone would learn from this 👍🙏🏻 and Vikas ji.. khamma gani.. big fan 😊
@ICN , my friend and I brought Honda Amaze 2019 with help of your content, and since few months I already stopped watching those channels, its visible who is doing paid videos, thanks fir this video @ICN
I have seen in many sponsored videos, the quality & style of video suddenly changes. The rawness of the video or person talking a certain way suddenly changes. That makes a big difference in viewers of those sponsored videos.
Video doesn’t have fixed points of discussion but rather a scattered discussion about how journalists have to be entertainers at times when brands approach them.
Mai pehle aapke videos like karta hoon baad me dekhta hoon ..kyuki mujhe pata hai yaha pe har baar bahut accha gyan bahut acche se diya jata hai..har baar jab aapke video dekhta hoon bahut kuch seekh ke jata hoon.....Thank you 😊
I have personally faced strong and even vulgar replies to my comments on 'certain' car vlogger channels if I share my personal driving experience of that vehicle. It seems that there are some hot headed hires which are only there to protect the main channel owner. There are certain things which are a big miss in some cars like the recent Scorpio N but these keyboard warriors are tasked to demean the viewers in case they are not liking the video or praising the content creator. There are obvious signs in many vlogs these days which point them towards being promoted and that is OK unless you start humiliating the viewers just because they have a different opinion to the content creator's view. A good video which is an eye opener.
Mind goes to MotorOctane's Rachit - stopped watching him from few years as at that time it was very clearly evident that he is trying to make everyone happy...never says anything negative about any car and even if he has to say negative, he dilutes it so much that the intensity of the negativity is lost. And sometimes he balances by quickly saying something positive about that car. That way he can say negative things (which is rare) and still be good in the eyes of manufacturers. He was clearly trying big time to please fans & manufacturers and was unbearable.
I am following Gagan since 4-5 years but when I seen Vikas with him.. I confirmed you both are genuine.. Specially Vikas is pretty much straight forward.. Thank you both of and wish good luck 🙌🏻
Sir ji maine ek Celerio ZXI Petrol purchase kri hai 2024 me Punch CNG ko cancel krk. Lgta hai samaj mere khilaf ho gya hai. I was driving 2nd hand celerio Diesel for last 5 years and majboori me bechna pda due to Delhi diesel rule. Gadi me koi problem nai thi and I was very happy with it. Maine both tiago petrol, Punch and Celerio test drive kra within an hour and found the performance of celerio is even better than Punch petrol. Build quality ki wjh se Tata le rha tha but after driving Maruti and my driving need of driving 95% in Delhi NCR I went for Celerio. Petrol me city mileage 21 ka hai. Smooth, no stress, cost effective...
You are absolutely right … tbh … I watched so many contents from various but when I don’t at her few Gagan videos … I can see the genuineous .. and I always got the negative feeling for motoroctane
Motor Octane is the first channel I started following. Now I know that they are sponsored by TATA. And it is absolutely true Brezza is better than Nexon.
Didn't subscribed yet...but after watching whole video respect from heart for both of you & subscribed. Money is essential for living good life but the pleasure of earning money in legit & honest way is awesome.
You guys must highlight everytime that no Hyundai or Kia have got more than 3 stars in crash tests in India . In India auto journos love Hyundai n Kia for a reason .
A good video for journalism students 😅 Ek taraf P.R. students with good strategies and planning and on the other side hardcore journalist students with good vocabulary and rich content Both need to work collectively.
Fine fine video. These days customers don't get influenced by established UA-camrs, they simply watch them see it as a review (presentation & features) but trust more after seeing the product in person and watching ownership reviews. A good presentation like how Gagan Bhai and Vikas Bhai can surely make customers shortlist a car. It is not about automobiles only but other products too. Some products are selling just because they are too common and it is literally impossible to turn the wave against them no matter what rival brands try or whatever issues these common cars face.
Loved your video... you have asked : " tell us who does paid promotion?" .. --> Powerdrift and family does paid promotion for Royal Enfield....Motoroctane does paid promotion for TATA...
very fair analysis, for long term objective a fair and ethical practice not only mobilise the quality and evolve for sure.. its not about shortcut its actually about the competitiveness and complaint any how the ones who will stay in one term is based on quality ethicality and compliant. And I 100% agree with this discussion AND ITS NOT ONLY ABOUT AUTOMOBILE it's across other industries also- to reflect impact and getting benefitted,. very well done Vikas and Gagan sir at least u pointed a very valid argument within a segregated section...
I think, creators ko starting mein hi bol ker bta dena chahiye ki ye paid video hai ya sirf product receive hua hai aur opinion hamara hai ya Jo bhi hai. Khud bol ker batane se credibility increase hoti hai.
Man there was a point where I was watching motoroctane and they had somehow managed to make me blind towards TATA products, every time I see any other reviews of Altroz they'd say the engine is powerless, which was never the case in motoroctane - the guy just says "apko isme koi dikkat aanewala nahi hai, engine bahut accha hai" - and then I slowly started to suspect if they are paid reviwers, I've unsubscribed to that channel now but video made it quite clear. Thanks! Also I'm still confused on what car to buy, its just too hard I feel given that the opinions are really polarized on youtube .
Thanks for honestly clarifying & justifying from the content creator's point of view. But from viewer's perspective, shall we trust or influence our decisions by watching videos? Answer is absolutely not... i dont see a single reason to trust these "so called reviews". Secondly, youtube is a business... that sums all ! I am yet to see an influencer who honestly expresses his own feedback.... this video has a great material for other youtubers as now they know how to defend.... but message or take away for viewers... "it is a sponsored video but trust us".... sounds funny.
Nice Video. From a very long time since Nexon has launched I saw that Rachit is doing lot of praise of that car and even my perception about the Tata started change after watching lot of videos of Rachit & Nexon. So my question here is, you mean to say it was annual paid videos with TATA to promote their products. Because often I see that he always recommends Tata Tiago & Tiago over other brands which I feel surprising. And also take example of Altroz he praises a lot of Altroz but in reality the sale is not that great. So pls reply
I was thinking from quite some time now, though it is thrill of driving there are few videos which I felt are paid. Thanks for confirming you 2 are really doing great 👍🤗🤗🤗
Aise video 1-2 aur kr diye humne toh paneer choro, humare ghar daal banne jitta saaman nahi bachega. :p
Hahahahahaha. You are not alone in this. Kachori bechne ka business isn’t all that bad too. 😅

Arre bhai bhai bhai
24:46 my point exactly. When Harrier was launched it was declared as next best thing 2 years down the line the same channels who were praising the car left right and centre declared it garbage, they started pointing out issues with the car which they hadn’t earlier. I remember vikas bhai was the only one who said that steering can be calibrated a bit better and no one else did but ekdam se xuv 700 ke aate hi Harrier ka steering bekar hogaya and then again when tata came up with red-dark edition , Harrier ka steering acha ho gaya.
Why the hypocrisy?
That’s why I firmly believe that car reviews should be used for identifying what to look out for and be informed about the product but car apni budhi ka prayog karke lein.
I think Mahindra has it’s PR going strong. There were obvious problems with the product that you could see during the test drive but UA-cam pe toh aisi wah wahi ho rahi thi ki baap re.
For getting information about a car I only refer to V3 cars and Icn studio because I can only trust these two to provide with a genuine video highlighting the issues and praising the right things.
Keep up the great work Gagan and Vikas bhai
Much respect.
Well said brother, the same misinformation is with TATA too

Prime example is Motoroctane, asy cardrive even though it's not a proper channel, and many more
I have personally faced strong and even vulgar replies to my comments on 'certain' car vlogger channels if I share my personal driving experience of that vehicle. It seems that there are some hot headed hires which are only there to protect the main channel owner. There are certain things which are a big miss in some cars like the recent Scorpio N but these keyboard warriors are tasked to demean the viewers in case they are not liking the video or praising the content creator. There are obvious signs in many vlogs these days which point them towards being promoted and that is OK unless you start humiliating the viewers just because they have a different opinion to the content creator's view.
A good video which is an eye opener.
The knowledge and this honesty is what makes Icn studios the best car channel on UA-cam 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Mind goes to MotorOctane's Rachit - stopped watching him from few years as at that time it was very clearly evident that he is trying to make everyone happy...never says anything negative about any car and even if he has to say negative, he dilutes it so much that the intensity of the negativity is lost. And sometimes he balances by quickly saying something positive about that car. That way he can say negative things (which is rare) and still be good in the eyes of manufacturers. He was clearly trying big time to please fans & manufacturers and was unbearable.
The way you speak about a brand whether it pros or cons, I love it man.
Thank you guys.... Had noticed this for long... Glad you brought this up.👏👏👏
Gagan & Yogi Really appreciated this content
May be that's why (by instict) I believe in ICN Studio.
I saw 2-3 channel but the last must be from ICN Studio's video.
No Faisal Khan was harmed in this video.( Kushaq reviews)
I am following Gagan since 4-5 years but when I seen Vikas with him.. I confirmed you both are genuine.. Specially Vikas is pretty much straight forward.. Thank you both of and wish good luck 🙌🏻
Sir ji maine ek Celerio ZXI Petrol purchase kri hai 2024 me Punch CNG ko cancel krk. Lgta hai samaj mere khilaf ho gya hai. I was driving 2nd hand celerio Diesel for last 5 years and majboori me bechna pda due to Delhi diesel rule. Gadi me koi problem nai thi and I was very happy with it. Maine both tiago petrol, Punch and Celerio test drive kra within an hour and found the performance of celerio is even better than Punch petrol. Build quality ki wjh se Tata le rha tha but after driving Maruti and my driving need of driving 95% in Delhi NCR I went for Celerio. Petrol me city mileage 21 ka hai. Smooth, no stress, cost effective...
This video made me believe you more than before
Love the honesty...
Keep it up 👏🏻
You are absolutely right … tbh … I watched so many contents from various but when I don’t at her few Gagan videos … I can see the genuineous .. and I always got the negative feeling for motoroctane
Motor Octane is the first channel I started following. Now I know that they are sponsored by TATA. And it is absolutely true Brezza is better than Nexon.
Bahut achha add jo u tube aur jo utuber ki taraf se aata hai,very good explain
Came here through LLA community post, a great video indeed! Thanks❤️
Didn't subscribed yet...but after watching whole video respect from heart for both of you & subscribed.
Money is essential for living good life but the pleasure of earning money in legit & honest way is awesome.
You guys must highlight everytime that no Hyundai or Kia have got more than 3 stars in crash tests in India . In India auto journos love Hyundai n Kia for a reason .
Cannot talk on anyone else’s behalf. But Hyundai and Kia surely don’t like two of us - Gagan and I. 😅
Exactly
Just like Indian love Tata and mahindra for some reason
Appreciate your honesty in talking about such things and educating viewers 👍🏻
A good video for journalism students 😅
Ek taraf P.R. students with good strategies and planning and on the other side hardcore journalist students with good vocabulary and rich content
Both need to work collectively.
Fine fine video. These days customers don't get influenced by established UA-camrs, they simply watch them see it as a review (presentation & features) but trust more after seeing the product in person and watching ownership reviews. A good presentation like how Gagan Bhai and Vikas Bhai can surely make customers shortlist a car. It is not about automobiles only but other products too. Some products are selling just because they are too common and it is literally impossible to turn the wave against them no matter what rival brands try or whatever issues these common cars face.
Solve hogaya hai matter lagta hai 🤔
Amit from ask carguru also appreciated great to see. Really appreciate you guys ❤❤❤
Great bhai sach bolna hi chahiye. To kisike hard earned money waste na ho jaye. Because koi bhi person atleast 5-10 years ka soch ke car leta he.
One simple fact that I follow, how much does a creator criticize the product. That's why I follow you guys... Keep going....
Really appreciate ur try to bring transparency
my favourite content creators in automobile industry.
Courageous Podcast.... Kudos 👍👍
Loved your video... you have asked : " tell us who does paid promotion?" .. --> Powerdrift and family does paid promotion for Royal Enfield....Motoroctane does paid promotion for TATA...
2:45 hope Republic TV not got hurt
Ye badhiya segment start kiya hai👍
very fair analysis, for long term objective a fair and ethical practice not only mobilise the quality and evolve for sure.. its not about shortcut its actually about the competitiveness and complaint any how the ones who will stay in one term is based on quality ethicality and compliant. And I 100% agree with this discussion AND ITS NOT ONLY ABOUT AUTOMOBILE it's across other industries also- to reflect impact and getting benefitted,. very well done Vikas and Gagan sir at least u pointed a very valid argument within a segregated section...
Vikas ji & Gagan ji thank you for your sincerity...will surely keep in mind of your words
Love you guys, solid and focussed effort.
Both of you have done a good job 👍🏼
Mr. Rachit Hirani is missing since upload of this video😂
I think, creators ko starting mein hi bol ker bta dena chahiye ki ye paid video hai ya sirf product receive hua hai aur opinion hamara hai ya Jo bhi hai. Khud bol ker batane se credibility increase hoti hai.
Pehle tu DDS ka content style churana band kr…
Fabulous video
Courageous exposing video 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for honesty, nowadays its rare ❤
Man there was a point where I was watching motoroctane and they had somehow managed to make me blind towards TATA products, every time I see any other reviews of Altroz they'd say the engine is powerless, which was never the case in motoroctane - the guy just says "apko isme koi dikkat aanewala nahi hai, engine bahut accha hai" - and then I slowly started to suspect if they are paid reviwers, I've unsubscribed to that channel now but video made it quite clear. Thanks!
Also I'm still confused on what car to buy, its just too hard I feel given that the opinions are really polarized on youtube .
Thanks to LLA for recommendation 👍🏻
Thanks for honestly clarifying & justifying from the content creator's point of view. But from viewer's perspective, shall we trust or influence our decisions by watching videos? Answer is absolutely not... i dont see a single reason to trust these "so called reviews". Secondly, youtube is a business... that sums all ! I am yet to see an influencer who honestly expresses his own feedback.... this video has a great material for other youtubers as now they know how to defend.... but message or take away for viewers... "it is a sponsored video but trust us".... sounds funny.
Very valuable information.
Btw, MotorOcatane channel always seemed a little off to me, ab maamla samajh me aaya is video ko dekhne ke baad 😁
Vikas ji, Gagan ji ... You both are doing great job 👍👍
Keep it up 👍
Rachit Hirani of MotorOctain is one of example of paid reviewer.
Hmesa intzar rhta h podcast ka mhine m ek aadh baar to hona hi chahiye btw we always appreciate your honesty and hardwork😊❤️
Nice Video.
From a very long time since Nexon has launched I saw that Rachit is doing lot of praise of that car and even my perception about the Tata started change after watching lot of videos of Rachit & Nexon.
So my question here is, you mean to say it was annual paid videos with TATA to promote their products.
Because often I see that he always recommends Tata Tiago & Tiago over other brands which I feel surprising.
And also take example of Altroz he praises a lot of Altroz but in reality the sale is not that great.
So pls reply
Less sale of altroz is due to punch as mostly people prefer suv aka crossover
Gagan bhaiya is one of the honest & Coolest car reviewer in india
Keep going guys.. you both are doing great job... We are with you..
You guys win the heart. Truly appreciate ❤️
"TATA-sponsored Top Channel" has left the chat!!! :D
Who is it?
I was thinking from quite some time now, though it is thrill of driving there are few videos which I felt are paid. Thanks for confirming you 2 are really doing great 👍🤗🤗🤗
