If you can make some coin from videos, more power to you!
To answer your question, I like to read and watch reviews of items that are actually used in real life situations not just used for a week so a video can be make.
Like most people on here, I love to hunt. I hunt Colorado for deer and elk, this will be my 11th year. I like things that make my life easier. A good frame pack, a reliable game camera, rugged comfortable boots, a quality knife that holds an edge butchering an entire elk, good binos, etc. There is always the quality vs cost consideration, some items are worth the extra cost others are not.
Hope this helps.

I also have been recently watching videos on safety items and things that can make an unexpected overnight stay in the woods safe and comfortable. Having things like a compact first aide kit, a fire starter, 550 cord, maybe a small tarp. Ideas like this that don't take up too much space or weight but can easily fit in a day pack are valuable to know. Especially if they are time tested.

Here's the rub, if all your reviews are positive with nothing negative, most won't believe them, no product is perfect! If you say negative stuff you run the risk of the vendor coming after you.
I like videos of real people with real emotion. No stupid tag lines etc. No "horn envy", just hunting, like 99% of us do.

I don't think you can tell me anything. I grew up in CO and shot my first deer when I was 9 and killed my first elk when I was 14. I've since taken over 100 deer of 3 species, 25 elk, 15 pronghorn, 2 black bear, Bighorn Sheep, Mtn Goat, Stone Sheep, wild boar and alligator in North America. I've also hunted Africa 5 times. At last count my count for species runs to 68.
So why would you think you could teach me anything via youtube videos?

I won't because I don't watch any hunting vids on youtube. But I think it is pretty asinine for some new member to come on admitting he is "young" and thinking his vids will somehow teach people like me that have been killing big game for more than 40 years. And he finishes by saying he will " use his experience." What experience could he possibly have that I would find beneficial?
Note he isn't asking for info, he is implying that we're a bunch of idiots that need whatever he is pushing on youtube. I learned to hunt at my father's and grandfather's knees not by sitting in from of a computer.
