Kiss Analog butthurt over Dave getting free stuff

SiliconWizard:
The perspective of people depending on public money more than others is for sure a bit different.

From my watching he seems to seldom go over much more than the claimed specs and test some Ohms and voltages. No real use cases.

My thought's on it all is that he doesn't really present the facts, but only talks from own experience. When he reviews products he "forgets" the negatives.

What's your thoughts?

He had posted me a few times about my meter tests confusing it with some sort of safety test.  At one time he was reviewing books and I recommended the power supply bible which he later showed.  Outside of that, I've not had any interactions with him.  Seems like a nice enough guy.     

Most product reviews I have seen are just unboxing with maybe a few basic measurements.  Many people reviewing them were clueless about part identification or they start to try and explain how some simple circuits work and fail.   On the other hand, I found many of Dave's early DMM reviews very entertaining.  I still watch when he makes a new one.  Not for the technical merit, just for the fun of it.  I appreciated that Dave would at least do some basic checks, like plugging the meters into the wall socket and running them through all their modes. 

In the end, there is endless content available.  Rather than complain about specific channels, just find something you like.   I doubt you will find many reviewers who are going to care what you have to say enough to change their format.  So really, what's the point?

Kanbus:
Have you seen the video Joe?
I don't have any hopes that he will change anything, nor do I try to force him too.
You're right, there is enough content out there to just pass on what's not interesting. I like your stuff for example. I have never complained about a Youtuber before, but this video just was too much. But I guess there is no real point or end goal.

Having used a few recent Tek scopes I'm not convinced they are worth the money compared to their Chinese competitors.  That said, they might have improved, I last used an MDO3000 and whilst the RF functions were impressive the overall software package on the instrument was not that great.

schmitt trigger:
Tek’s market dominance and heyday was during the large CRT era.
Tek’s CRTs and video drive circuits were second to none. They were the pinnacle of engineering and black magic.

But back to Kiss Analog’s video rant: my feeling is that he is actually jealous of Dave’s blog. He spends many minutes explaining all of his accomplishments, and attempting to put down Dave. All signs of jealousy. 

If Dave’s blog is more popular, there is a simple reason: Dave is far, far, FAR more enjoyable to watch and most importantly, to learn from. He spices up the conversation with witty remarks: “good enough for Australia”, “winner, winner, chicken dinner” and my personal fave “assembled by nude Swiss virgins”. All without losing track of the technical conversation.
