100%. Plenty of good ones that you don't have to watch ones you don't like.

You are the best. You are always honest, and it really feels like listening to a good friend, not a cars seller or a Jehova's Witness
However, there is one thing that got me confused. Since English is not my first language, how shall I pronounce "beta"??????

He's being normalized and legitimized over time, though. Premier Guitar picked
up his podcast and now it is part of their media endeavours.
And if you want to ask a question it is gonna cost you a 20 spot.
My question, "Does shaking the guitar neck really result in better tone?
We all know the answer is unequivocally, "Yes!"

Hahaha I love Ben, though. Him and Andy Wood are the only instructional guys I ever watch. He’s cracked me up a few times with some of the dumb/dad jokes.

I used to work as a consultant for a company that analyzed mobile games so I saw a lot of them in their data views. I always laughed at how many of those had this sort of face as its logo after Clash of Clans started doing it.
YouTube is pretty much the same. The creators have figured out some stupid human psychology:
People say it's "for the YT algorithm" but I don't think that is the case. It might have been at some point that the algorithms favored videos with faces in the thumbnail and a length > 10 minutes. The length thing led to videos where people just say the same thing over and over again in different ways to pad the length.
I have called Rhett Schull out multiple times for his clickbait bullshit in his video comments. In some cases he has changed the title but he's still doing it.
Honestly especially the larger channels should put their foot down and just say no to this bullshit.

- Add a controversial title and more people will watch your video.
- Add a human face with a stupid expression and more people will watch your video.
