<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheSilverpicker, post: 3017484, member: 39201&quot;]Man, you are one angry, angry person. What did I do here that deserves the least charitable reading of my post? Do you realize that my channel has over 2 million views? Do you seriously think I posted this here to &quot;spam&quot; and advertise so I can get another measly 35 views? Seriously? I care a lot about numismatics and that&#039;s why I make these videos. I make nearly nothing from the youtube advertising and these videos take me days to create--I do it because I enjoy it. In any case, I&#039;ll respond to a few of your points:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. Obviously the catchy tag line is to get more views. So what? Really, what&#039;s wrong with me trying to get people to watch the video? You say it&#039;s misleading, the information is correct and valuable. It&#039;s not a scam, it&#039;s hyperbole. Do you get this combative too when you see &quot;Seattle&#039;s Best Coffee&quot; because they&#039;re &quot;misleading&quot; people into thinking it&#039;s truly the best coffee? </p><p>2. Sorry to break it to you, but coin collecting is a dying hobby. I have 2 million views that say I&#039;m helping solve the problem by perpetuating and growing the hobby. I have thousands of YN followers who enjoy my videos and are encouraged to collect and learn about coins. What have you done to grow the hobby other than naysay and call my integrity into question? </p><p>3. I have been a part of this forum for years and one of the greatest things about the community is that people are generally very inviting to &quot;newbies&quot; to help them learn about the hobby. Your elitist attitude toward coin collecting is shameful. The fact that you see newbies who are confused from what they&#039;ve read or seen on the internet as &quot;fallout&quot; and &quot;mess&quot; that you deign to clean up is simply just a poor attitude. You should be thrilled that new people are joining the forum to learn about coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I want to point out that I generally do not get into arguments on social media but this is a small, tight-knit community and having you call my integrity into question especially when I am trying to give back to the community and encourage the growth of the hobby is not something I will take lying down.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
