this episode of technobuffalo is brought to you by carbonite what's up everyone welcome back there pisode of retinas rants I'm your host Jon renders to show where I get mad red-faced and sometimes i will give some advice i put out a question on twitter i said hey do you want to see another advice video or do you want a solid rant where I get all mad and red in the face and we'll split down the middle so I'm gonna do a split down the middle video up this week I'm gonna give some advice for aspiring youtubers and I'm gonna rant a little bit on my fellow youtubers this is retinas rants go and get started I'm gonna start with the rants up that's been on my mind for actually quite a few months that's me with my fellow youtubers I don't know if I'm breaking some sort of secret unwritten handshake rule but I'm singing a lot of youtubers complaint online about YouTube and I can understand to the rationale behind that then the more I thought about it the more upset i kind of got so a few things about YouTube that I'm guessing you know first of all it is completely free anybody can sign up for a youtube account and assuming you're of age and anybody can monetize their video you don't have to pay YouTube a cent and you can start making money immediately some people start complaining YouTube's having issues YouTube design stings YouTube is slow youtube has a dumb face in a stupid mouth I here's where I to understand you to miss a free platform if you don't like it you have the option to go elsewhere if you don't think YouTube is paying you enough you can live in a free market economy you can take your services take your talent and go somewhere else don't yell at YouTube essentially YouTube is your boss and my boss too and I appreciate what YouTube does I mean it's a free platform that has given me a chance to live my dreams the drive issues yet is what I like the new design no not even a little bit the things sometimes failed your scheduled videos not always go out one hundred percent but it's still free I'm not paying for this service by a very little right to complain it'd be like somebody handing you a free ice cream cone and being like um I want two chocolate not vanilla you stupid face the maybe I'm biased I got a bit of a warm spot for YouTube has given me but come on before you start complaining think about what you're complaining about this is for the new youtubers out there the new tech reviewers who are just starting to get involve hold with PR companies so in previous advice videos a few weeks ago I gave some advice about how to get devices from day one let's say now you've got those devices be honest let's say you've been working with AT&T for example finally got your first phone from 18 teen I remember what this felt like I could not believe that a complicated sending me a phone to review was absolutely incredible and then you use the phone let's say you don't like it are you going to feel obligated to give the phone a good review because you don't want the PR person to get upset with you not send you another phone so here's where the issue comes up always be honest with your audience above anything else be honest we don't like something say it here are people actually understand if you don't like a product as long as you are rational that and you give a reason for it don't to say I don't like it because it's dumb and stupid it's nearby microsoft i hain't microsoft or its android android stupid or apples elitist it's only for rich people you know whatever it might be keep all that stuff out use the device be objective about it try and look at it with fresh eyes and be completely honest PR people understand different like the product they will completely understand inch answer if you don't like it they probably don't like it either are they noticed issues you're bringing up in fact I think they will respect you more for it I dealt with a lot of PR people over my years and doing this I'm best relationships I have with folks the ones where we've been honest with them like listen I don't like this product here's why it's a rational reason front like it i'm gonna share with my audience I feel like you should know and oftentimes they can say oh you know maybe it's a problem to device let me send you another one and see if that you know fixes your internet speed or the camera lag is too long whatever it might be or they say you know what we've heard those complaints it's a fine it makes sense you know thank you for an honest review I think people always can appreciate it people will see through the audience will see through a phony review above all else don't be a phony be honest with you honest with your audience I cannot emphasize that enough whether it's from PR companies or
