I'm with Bunky, I always liked that the Project Farm guy talks fast, he wastes less of your time. Although I don't watch his detailing videos (I watched part of one and realized, as noted, he doesn't have the requisite knowledge to make that content useful for this audience), I have found some of his stuff to be useful and interesting.
He talks like it's an info TV paid commercial buy one get one free,
Double the questionable analyses in the same time, I'm in! I wasn't saying I liked everything he did or agreed with it all, I just appreciate that he talks fast and gets right into it, as Bunky noted. Back in the old days when the length of a YT vid was limited to 7.5 or 8 minutes, people had to edit and get to the point...now we have to watch them page through their notes, yell at their kid who walked into frame, etc.
Some bookmark their videos so one can skip to the end. Of course, skipping often generates a commercial. I have seen many rinseless washes so nothing really is revealed that cannot be stated in the summary such as cleaning, slickness during wash or when drying, smell, etc. There is no shocking revelation during these videos.
But Bunky, the picture for all videos on YouTube has shocking revelations...you must have skipped through those parts.
I feel like we are at a stage where products are so good, and so similar, that we have plateaued and people are feeling the need to distance themselves with weird and convoluted methods, just to be noticed among the herd
Or is it because there are 14,000 YouTube detailing channels?
The younger generation are probably thinking this stuff and THOR stuff are heavily involved in social media soooooooooo it must be good product's cos like Instagram and podcasts like so cool.
THIS! The issue is ANYONE can write/share just about ANYTHING on the internet and it makes them an "influencer".
One time when people were bashing Yvan (I think it was Flash skeptical that Yvan ever ran a detailing shop) I found an old video of him in his shop in Montreal demonstrating ONR and linked it here. I think the fact that he did those videos is what got him the gig teaching classes at OPT headquarters, which led his more prominent position there.
^^^^^ TRUTH ^^^^^
Doesn't the longer a video run the more advertisements can be shown, so ultimately more revenue?
Or, are most of these products all made by the same blender(s), using the same basic formula, just change the color, scent and tell us how absolutely fantastic the water beeding/sheeting is. Sounds like a lot of "sheeting" to me. I feel the need to wear hip boots when watching.
Yes. That was my point, whatever the reason was in the beginning that the length was capped, now content creators have no incentive to be concise, which is why I appreciate the Project Farm guy talking fast. Who knows, maybe he's an auction guy.
Just like the reality shows, Orange County Choppers, Monster Garage, Gas Monkey Garage...the longer the shows went the bigger and fancier the facilities got.
This part right here.
I will get hate for this but so what; I feel the same way about Forensic Detailing Channel
That guy rubbed me the wrong way the first video I watched of his, he was reviewing a polisher, it might have been the Flex Pixie, and he's running through the specs, and couldn't remember something, so he turns his back to the camera and starts looking up the specs on his computer...while we wait what seems like an eternity, but was probably 30-45 seconds. And I'm thinking "couldn't he edit that part out??".
