I personally have never watched any of your videos, but have no issue with them. I don't look at many of the posted videos beyond some of the music links in another thread. But I must say, I have never heard of an "unboxing video". Quote Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?

Hi There tsunkasapa, Unboxing videos have become pretty common I would say in the last 10 years or so, especially on Youtube. The idea is basically anything you could possibly think of, from a new lawnmower,elecronics, shoes....really anything you would consider purchasing, someone records the process of opening it and giving their "first impressions" feedback, then posts it online so the viewer who is most likely considering making the same purchase, can know what they are in store for. I chose to do that with my bigger leather purchase from District Leather Supply, so that people could see what the real life view was as opposed to only seeing the pictures online. I can see how some people might find these videos a bit silly, but I myself have found great value in unboxing videos with bigger purchases I have made. Quote
CFM tsunkasapa Posted January 31, 2022 CFM Report Posted January 31, 2022 Youtube pretty much said it all. Not anything I participate in. But then, I don't watch much of any kind of videos. I would much rather read a news article than watch the video that goes with it. Quote Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?

Members Danne Posted January 31, 2022 Members Report Posted January 31, 2022 I don't really see the problem here. Campleathergoods show what leather he did order from Districtleathersupply. I would say it's useful information. I often see people ask for good sources of leather, so good value for someone to see what you get when you order from in this example Districtleathersupply, and it opens up for discussion. I have never ordered anything from them since I live in Europe, but even though prices are quite high (here in Europe also when you buy smaller panels and with splitting) I wish we had more options here in Europe when it comes to buy smaller amounts and get it split, it's worth paying a higher price for in my opinion. But an interesting question for those who see this as advertising. I recently made a post where I talked about Ksblades edge paint applicator, was it advertisement? If I would tell someone to not buy a Regad Filetuse in US (because they are crazy overpriced) and instead buy from Mando in France, would it be advertisement for Mando? If I buy a leather machine and make a Youtube clip and show people here how the machine looks and what you get, is it advertisement or can it be useful for someone? Quote

Are you selling the edge paint? Is he selling the leather?

I appreciate the supportive words, It's just this one guy who has had a problem with me on here, I'm done with his childish games. As far as your point, I see exactly what you are saying. Post what you wanna post within the guidelines, someone will always have something to say. As long as you know that you are helping people, that's all that matters. Quote
