Are influencers ruining fpv? 

😂😂 👍👍

Part 107 info is all online and free.

Greed can cloud peoples judgement 😭😭 it's time to stop botg you're a sellout Jk

haha yeah i really should stop putting out free content every week @@lolmetyuri (;

buy deez

thank you homie.

Props to Steele to rip at home as much as on location. Thanks, Mr. Steele!

Where do i sign up to Steele drone school? 😜😜

Mr. Ethnix is the reason I stopped watching fpv a long time ago. Oh and that arrogant dress wearing " and today you're going to learn something" doosh.... Tacklbox face Salvia bro isn't winning me back. Go vape or something

I remember pretty much everything you have made haha, glad to have you in this community with us still my bro. from what I have seen If your in the game long enough you will have ups and downs with the community no matter what, it just depends on how you handle it moving forward.

Stu, it was your flight training vids and budget build that got me into the hobby. Love your positivity and enthusiasm you absolute legend!

Stu also introduced me to the hobby, with a pair of eachine ev2000 and a mob 6. Flew that for several years before losing it in a lake, and my wife "accidentally threw away my transmitter, goggles and spare drone parts". I just got back into the hobby through alot of stu's recommendations. Just wanted to share my story and say thanks. I appreciate the content

Cuz you have to fight fucking snakes every time you lose a quad in Australia.

@@voxtelnismo and the number of times I've lost props to fucking drop bears pouncing on them :(

Yeah like Albert Kim, nothing but scooters n electric bikes

+1

I feel like Albert is the wrong target. He clearly states that he reviews products that he likes that span across different hobbies. Additionally, he's actually one of the reviewers who is critical of the products he reviews. Doesn't sugar coat anything, and has even caught flack from manufacturers and viewers for his criticism for shit products like the BetaFPV Pavo Pico when it first came out @@brianlangford7278

Same! It's sad imo.

Same, between the grifters and stupid remote ID I've all but given up on the hobby.

Only if you're listening

@@grownnotflown2 Only because everyone else is listening, you mean

I'd say advertisement is ruining everything. And influencers are just the last phenomenon turning cancerous. We used to like these guys, because they sounded more real and unbiased than real ads and now they are also ruined

Influences are just advertising. It's like saying commercials ruin everything. Take it with a grain of salt. Do your own research and life will be good.

@@agtjackbauer at least with commercials it was clear what was the commercial and what was the content you are actually interested in, now they are very much intertwined with a lot of videos just being commercials themselves.

Didn't he labeled his videos in the past always as 'honest' reviews? When I started I always thought that was funny because are there 'dishonest' reviews too .....? haha

I dig your content man. Think its great.

Yeah, i think most people can distinguish between advertisements and opinions (after watching a few videos), but it can be a PITA when you’re starting out. That’s for sure.

I like your channel.

You're awesome Currykitten. I just found out you developed a simulator!

I bought your simulator on steam. Sorry I bet they don't pay very well. It is fun to fly I love it. Keep up the good content.

That's why you need to stick around here zoe. The real ones need real ones.

We love you Zoe! ❤❤❤

I still have 3d props I haven’t used. You inspired me to try it though- I just keep breaking shit and running out of money.

Just more shots of Ron's legs to drive the algorithm traffic.

ill share mine with you buddy

yea he was cool but wasn't honest about reviews or he was just a noob idk

I have to agree

When I started 5 years ago drone campus was one of the first reviewers I found after the Steele and rr videos that got me started and Bardwell got me flying. But every video hell every thumbnail was "Drone of the Year"

Yup, trash

@@dimanfpv3247FR? That's a lot of drones!!

you must never have seen Stuavfutures. every week the new bangood hotness is his Drone of the year. IIRC in 2018 there were 4 drones of the year by the time mid-feb rolled around.

he was the !st one i thught of lol

By FAR! Total grifting pimp

💯

​he's the first everyone thought of. 😂@heExcile009

Ahh ok that makes sense it felt like alot longer ago, thank you.

See, Bot, looks like “you’re going to learn something”

Thanks for all you do Bardwell!

DJI "unbreakable" quadcopter frame that got them the 1st lot of money was 2008? Who been in the game long enough to remember the video of matey stamping on the frame, jumping on the frame then throwing the frame out of the 3rd floor window? and EVERYONE going nuts when DJI said they were giving free frames to people who posted lots of messages on rcgroups? tripping over themselves they were lol all trying to get a free DJI frame. Oh lord the lotusrc t580! Was l really the only person to say it was sh!t from day one??

Haha well that's because we all trust you and know you're on our side.

@@BOTGRINDER Something that's VERY interesting is the kickback the likes of DJI offer for "good engagement" on content, that drives these folks to only make positive content and they can get kickbacks of many thousands of $

Do better Ian dammit 😂

Truth!!!

Desist and Cease RC?

@@platty9237 he's more or less said that in his reply and a mail sent to BOT. One of the guys sent it me this morning. It's like he's untouchable and one thing for sure.....DC hates being called out. Goes into little B@tch mode everytime. Seen it on FB and he changes whenever anyone say's he's wrong.

Was too funny when DC got angry at CD for releasing a drone ad "review" before the time it's meant to be realeased (according to their contract by the manufacturer) . It just proves that both of those salesmen are in it for the affiliate links and not the hobby.

Absolutely. It's the first two i thought of. At least captain drones seems like a "good" greedy person 😂 dronecamps is just straight up a salesman

Captain drone claims no affiliate links. Which I never knew

Camps has also been trying to push any service possible on new pilots such as a repair service and or setup for only $160 for a single quad. Lmafo.

Just a Dufus from Dronewanks is just a con (excuse for a)man who clearly bought his subscribers on the dark web. Dislike all his sellout vids.

what drone?

Nah this is definitely a bit old man yells at cloud, or at the very least misguided reasoning. There is SO much positive stuff and absolutely award winning content being produced on YT that would NEVER exist without creators getting paid. If they couldn't get paid through YT itself it, people would just be shilling through ad reads, patreon, etc. YT paying ad revenue enables creators to ignore all that and still make a living.

@@chronicnugget5595 The sponsors and Patreon are included in my complaints. I can see both sides of the coin, but its really getting annoying how it seems like every single youtuber and their grandma are doing ad reads and begging people to join their Patreon. Why do so many people need to make a living from RU-vid videos, especially when they quit their job first and then try to make the RU-vid career viable? What happened to just making videos for fun and to share your interests? I don't have a problem with people getting paid. I'm just really getting tired of the sponsors and Pateron reads in what seems like every single video I watch. Does money really need to be a part of every video? I feel that money also ruined livestreaming too with the donation messages. The streamers constantly stop what they are doing to respond to the donators and it derails the stream. I stopped watching gaming livestreams since the streamer usually spends the majority of the time responding to comments and doesn't do much gaming.

I think you are way off with this. If creators didn’t get paid and couldn’t do it as a job then youtube would have a lot less content and the content would be lower quality. Everyone else in the entertainment industry gets paid, musicians, actors, presenters, cameramen, editors, etc, so why shouldn’t RU-vid content creators? You also have a misguided view in what demonetised means. You don’t get demonetised for saying a product is rubbish or giving you honest opinion, you get demonetised for breaching copyright or RU-vid’s terms of service, so for showing nudity, dangerous acts, breaking the law, etc, and even then RU-vid seems pretty relaxed about the breaking the law part or practically every FPV video would get taken down for flying without a spotter or beyond line of sight or using too high a transmit power. People unboxing a drone and test flying it once and people never saying anything negative about drones has nothing to do with being demonetised by RU-vid, it is either them just getting a video out as soon as possible or them wanting to keep up their relationship with a company.

and you will hopefully continue doing so - they are awesome to watch!

I'm with you there...I have a bunch of crap because I foolishly believed all of these people when I was just starting out.

shit i used to run dronin lol

Bloody newbies! When I started we had tricopters with helicopter rate-gyros, there was no such thing as a flight controller. Then the multiwi controller came along, followed by the Naze32 and Baseflight. Kids today! 😛

@@xjet 🤣🤣🤣

U had a UI? i Had the kk board :)

@@xjet those were the days mate. i watched all your content to haha

look so good make a grown man cryyyyy sweeet cherry pieeeeeee im sorry

Yes, we are pointing a finger at you Drone Camps.

@@shadowofchaos8932 no comment

cherry pies are tasty though@@mark6302

I want to see a RU-vid mma fight in sumo suits with toothpicks challenge laid down and if dc wants views he will accept. He can use the best toothpick of 2024 if he wants . I would sign up to be a patron. Forget the lawyer threats . Fight it out like real men in blowup sumo suits with remote in hand if your really the best you tuber of 2024 !

Is BotGrinder becoming the voice of reason in FPV?

@@shadowofchaos8932 I think this proves what I've been saying for some time now: _"The world is a strange place"_ 😛

@@xjet well i learned it form somewhere!

It may be that way for you but plenty of people are willing to say and do whatever a company wants just to get paid.

@conorstewart2214 it's there mindset which needs changing. Your followers will take care of you if your honest and be transparent with them. Sponsors come and go.

@@edrone_ I totally agree but some of these channels have proven they can continue the way they are for years.

Except Camera Conspiracies. That dude is cool AF.

@@BonesFPV Nah. If you've been watching him lately, he be shillin with the best of em. The only reason he wasn't shillin before was no one gave him stuff to shill.

@@MrPhilbautistamaybe. I always found him pretty authentic - But maybe I am easily fooled... At the very least he is quite entertaining. Cheers.

At least if cameras every single one will give you very good photos and there is a huge market of used gear not that far behind in quality

that was a fun trip though.

wow great idea!

Yesssssss Loving the content dude. Single Handedly got me back into FPV. Just orded a Mobula8 and can't wait to Guerilla whoop lol @@BOTGRINDER

It's all about having a good time!

loose date is "spring" but ill be making posts and updating the discord room as soon as we start so folks can come out and help build it up!

rollins had some of the best interviews hands down.
