To clarify:
I subscribe to most of these "WetTubers" and enjoy most videos. I don't see it as creepy, but a chance to learn different techniques and see different hardware and software in action.
Michael Freedberg was one of the first channels I subscribed to on YouTube. All of his videos are informative and lack bias in my opinion. He was on a RazoRock kick for a bit, but quickly moved on to other great products. I don't doubt his integrity for one second. The same goes for Ant "Tight Buns" Smith. I thought that their RazoRock soaps were well-deserved and didn't throw up any red flags for me. It was when "Phoenix Artisan Accouterments" joined the party that the bad taste in my mouth began and also tainted these practices.
Anthony Esposito is also an awesome straight shaver and I thoroughly enjoy his videos.
Like I stated earlier in this thread, my "cancerous" opinion is not aimed at the YouTube reviewers, but at the participating artisans because of the degradation of business ethics than can easily follow suit.
To the "WetTubers": I appreciate what you do and keep it up.
To the artisans: I'm disappointed.
