I had only one interaction with Rufus, weeks ago. I asked him a question. He said he was "in training" and gave me an incorrect answer. So, I didn't seek him out again and he didn't interfere with my browsing on Amazon.
I hate Rufus too! I also do not like the ads for other videos that pop on the screen on the last minute of the video I'm watching. I find them obtrusive like Rufus.
Sometimes too much help is a hinderance and annoyance! I really dislike RU-vid channels with opening introductions that don't pertain to the video I tuned in to watch. 😊😊😊😊
Old men and technology are always good entertainment! 😂😂 I have 6 concert ukuleles, and every one of them sound so different from one another, to me. Even just changing the strings can give a drastic change in sound to me on the same uke, even different brands of Florocarbon stings can change the sound of a uke for me. They always say sound is subjective, and I think that is very accurate. You just got to play what ya like, and like what ya play! Maybe Rufus will start giving you heads up on great deals. Might like him a little more then. 😊
I can tell the difference when I move a capo up and down the fretboard, ho ho. I can tell the difference between clear carbon and super nylgut, but that's about it. If Rufus was as smart as me, he WOULD say which ukulele to buy . . . and not buy. Nice to hear from you, Dennis!
