[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 3296304, member: 76863"]There definitely is a lot of junk on there that needs to get weeded through for it to be a useful resource, unfortunately that really describes most coin sources. To me though things like YouTube and some of these other social media platforms are vastly underutilized and under promoted. PCGS has put some real good stuff on there which most seem to be aware of. Some dealers have done well with it as well. But how many people knew that Coin World has a YouTube channel? This will probably make [USER=71723]@V. Kurt Bellman[/USER] cringe but how many people knew that the ANA has a YouTube channel? That's just to name a few if people know what to look for. There is a lot of untapped potential with these types of sites and better advertising from the legitimate sources could also help draw away from the nonsense. As a side note it would also help if some of the legitimate videos featured people with better personalities that seemed to want to be there. It's painful watching videos that have the personality of a rock. You don't have to be a Vegas entertainer but the best teachers are always ones that can keep someones attention. Very true, some are also the same types making the misleading videos trying to push something onto their "fans" or just trolls as well.[/QUOTE]
