Grazie fratello for the shout out. This was a very brave and honest video to make. I really appreciate you sharing your backstory and laying out your new pragmatic approach. I also respect the fact you made the decision to go in front of camera, it takes courage and fortitude, something that is so easily taken for granted by those that never have done it. Don't worry about timing, quality over quantity ALWAYS. Slow and steady always wins the race. As Stallone always says, just keep punching! Let me know if there is anyway I can do to help. I look forward to seeing whatever you come up with. Onwards and ever upwards! T.
@theurbangentry OH mate thankyou. You have no idea what that means to me. Thankyou so much. I will always strive to be better with each video. Ciao! If you ever have a spare half an hour, I'd be honored if you'd do a small interview with me that might help other aspiring true watch RUclipsrs too.
Awesome, thankful for your integrity! Subbed. Nice to see all the positive responses to your video too - there are lots of us who are clearly bored with the status quo of being ‘lied’ to by various watch publications and RUclipsrs…
Extremely honest and transparent upload, we live in a world full of obscure deception and deceptive behaviour shown from individuals with closely guarded agendas. It’s refreshing to see honesty these days and always stay true to one’s morals and beliefs. I wish you well going forward and believe in yourself and your integrity.
It takes guts and integrity to do what you’ve just done and the changes you’re making to your reviewing process. I’ve seen the advertising manipulation of the industry press for years in audio and feel it devalues the findings of all reviews not just the ones that are clearly about keeping the paymasters happy. I worked for a well respected Japanese brand for many years and we brought out a mass market product, that was perfectly suited to the job it had to do, but compared to our other products was pretty awful. We decided the press were not going to have one to review it. Despite this, one of the magazines who we advertised heavily with brought this product and gave it a 5 out of 5 star review! We were all very surprised, but it was clear they didn’t want to upset the apple cart, rather than review it properly. Put your integrity first, as you clearly are, and people will take you seriously. Good luck
Authenticity is becoming a rare thing these days. A genuine voice, speaking honest words are what matters the most in my opinion and you seem to be going in that direction. That is easily a like-and-subscribe.
It's good to hear your thoughts, I've been watching TGV for years, so that's why I'm here. However, I think people can take things a bit too seriously. Just because I watch a video that recommends a watch does not mean I will automatically buy it, if I do buy it after subsequent research and I have problems, that is not the RUclips reviewers fault. Caveat emptor after all. Some AliExpress watches are fantastic quality some are terrible, I've had both, I don't even bother with warranty claims, even if I have to find a replacement movement, the overall cost is still a bargain compared to large manufacturers products and so far I've only had one fail. I watch RUclips watch videos for entertainment, I want to see the RUclipsr enjoying watches and using them, the advertorial videos are usually easy to spot, not even sizing the bracelet is a classic giveaway. If you enjoy making them continue, if not, do something else you do enjoy.
@@dunderhay9169 I 100% agree. However there are some very obvious shills that I fell for and it made me angry. It reminded me of my past in the magazines and why I quit that publishing company. Wheb you say you're here because of TGV, did he post the link to the video? I deeply admire the man and was honored he commented on my video.

@@martinelfver4074 that means the world to me. Thankyou! I have to give all the credit to @theurbangentry though for showing me the light.
People need to share around what channels are not watch shills...
