<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 3017991, member: 36230&quot;]Reality automatically equaling anger exists only in the world and/or eyes of precious little flowers unable to accept fair, just, and reasonable criticism. You specifically asked for feedback and is exactly what you&#039;ve been given.</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps try to understand that the membership isn&#039;t comprised solely of idiots unable to see through this. If you genuinely wanted to help the young and/or new, there&#039;s absolutely nothing stopping you from doing so. There&#039;s absolutely no reason you cannot drop the gimmicky nonsense and produce truly educational videos that promote this hobby in an intelligent/thoughtful way, yet your refusal to do so shows this to be nothing more than an exercise in marketing. The fact you&#039;re here delusionally comparing &quot;<i>expensive </i>(i.e. quality)<i> reference books</i>&quot; to garbage videos suggesting one can become an &quot;<i>expert</i>&quot; simply by watching them is also rather telling, and this all while dismissing the perfectly valid points and/or criticisms others have made.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, why not show how much you truly care by coming here to help deal with the fallout you seem so eager to help create? The only thing that&#039;s &quot;<i>shameful</i>&quot; is the fact that you clearly care more about gimmicks than you do content and/or the damage such nonsense can cause. There was absolutely nothing stopping you from taking the previous suggestions to heart and making a video advertising the &quot;<i>basics in 60 seconds</i>&quot;, but you know as well as I this isn&#039;t as likely to result in as many all-important views.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your videos are no better than silversearcher&#039;s garbage and are made for the same reason. The supposed &quot;<i>everything</i>&quot; one needs to know is no more than the most basic nothing anyone with half a brain can easily discover elsewhere and in less time than it takes to watch clickbait. Also, the mere fact your &quot;<i>60 second</i>&quot; videos are actually more than twice said length due to the self-advertising and begging for subscribers suggests that any educational content is simply a necessary inconvenience.</p><p><br /></p><p>And please don&#039;t give me this crap about how you&#039;re a long time member of <i>this</i> community. In nearly six years you&#039;ve a whopping <i>78 posts</i> with the <i>vast</i> majority being ads to your YouTube channel or sales offerings with a number of contest entries scattered throughout. In fact, I scrolled through your entire posting history and while something could have been missed, I couldn&#039;t find a single example of where you genuinely tried to educate the very people you&#039;re now claiming are so important to you. I&#039;m sorry, but this is more telling as to your true motivations than, oh, repeatedly bragging about your channel&#039;s view count, especially in context.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and perhaps you&#039;re unaware, but you just admitted to the fact that you do <i><u>profit</u></i> from this, even if only modestly, yet you take issue with the fact I called this advertising spam.... go figure. You see, I don&#039;t have to call your &quot;<i>integrity into question</i>&quot; (nor did I try) when your own posts and videos accomplish this on their own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
