That kinda is the plan :lol

The girl told me that and I'm like... I came here on an off day before and it was $20. Does it come with a fleshlight?
 
I hate these Youtube "Trailer Reviews" that keep popping up on my feed. You can't "review" a trailer because they're advertisements to promote a product, (hence why they're called PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS) and better term would be "trailer impressions". Back in the old days, journalists couldn't use the term "review" on trailers or pre-released movies, TV shows or videogames because these pre-release media isn't meant to be paid by the consumers. It seems that nowadays anybody with a camera can become a "journalist" without any standards or professional ethics.

Ditto for "Custom Figure Reviews" while I'm at it. You can't review them either because they're not meant to be commercially sold. I know it's nitpicking words, but it bugs me cuz I'm a sad old man. :lol

you dont understand.
Those vids are like virtual friends. people dont really watch them because of the trailer but it substitutes talking to a friend about it. Youtubers take advantage of this to make some money. the fact that they are talking into the camera in an empty room helps to further the virtual friend experience.

Same thing with Twitch and people watching other people play games. it almost feels like playing a game with a friend. you start to feel like you know the guy in the video. thats why so many reaction vids are made, people go to them for a strange sense of company
 
"trailer breakdown" "Things you missed in the trailer" "What the trailer isn't telling us"

I don't bother with any kind of youtube toy review. And the people that post their youtube links all over the forum like it's important. Show me some pics. I like pics. You can tell if something is good or bad with pics. Unless you suck at taking pics. Then you shouldn't be posting.
