Good point, yet there are some video guys who are good. I love what Czapek did with their multi-part video series about the movement. I do not watch TPG, but someone here said...

Yet yes, some video 'personalities' are what they are. It's not just in the watch hobby. Considering how much money companies spend on buying influencer time for perfume, clothing, shoes, automobiles, golf clubs... and even home lawn mowers and... it's quite the business.

Am trying to avoid the 'left turn' into a discussion about paid promotion versus honest enthusiasm. Color me an enthusiast for decades, and boy have things changed over the last few years.
