No real band, no years of practice and writing songs, no slogging it at gigs etc.
But, the lady has struck gold. She will no doubt improve, but, and I hate to say it, the ‘like’ brigade is mainly men. The less I say the better, but I think you can see what I mean. Presentation over pure talent. A disappointing way music has gone.

Bit of trading feedback here.
You're paying for it somewhere, somehow...
thats all this is.... just as biased as those magazines
Instagram
"Here's some free stuff for you to watch or not watch. By the way, if you like it, you can even pay some money so we can keep making some of this stuff."
Criminal.
However indirectly the videos introduce the brand to thousands of potential customers who may go on to buy online or in store and maybe become a loyal customer. As an advert and promotion tool it works - but comes at a cost like all advertising.
However if you are living in Japan or America etc you probably watch the vids but won’t buy anything and those are the viewers he’s targeting now and looking at exploiting an opportunity to cover some costs.
I actually feel guilty I don't support the patreon of some channels, because I get so much from them.
I will soon, when finances are a bit better
I find it ironic on a forum of musicians that this is even questioned. Imagine the uproar if someone came on and said that they thought all music should be free to the consumer and nobody should ever have to pay musicians for what they do.
Sigh.
Saying that, I've bought from other places that don't have YouTube channels so I might well have found them through Google anyway.
The channel is 100 percent to promote sales though, there are no objective reviews what so ever. There's a video of some amp modeler that they were trying to shift and it gets compared to the Amplifire. The Amplifire could have been set better by a monkey so it seems to me that it was deliberately meant to sound worse than the focused item. Yet compare that to the video where they are promoting the Amplifire itself and it's apparently indistinguishable from the tube amps it simulates.
Basically treat the videos as infomercials, not sincere reviews.
If I watched much of the Andertons channel I would probably pay them a few quid too they do seem to produce a lot of content.
And as for mediocre musicians Glenn Fricker sums it up brilliantly here
Y'know the whining that "We won't pay you, but you'll get the exposure and you'll be able to sell some CDs and t-shirts!" gig offers get on here?
That's what you lot are espousing here. As far as I can see, it's just plain sourness and a textbook expression of the British mentality which loves an underdog until they get a sniff of success.
Let's not forget that they're offering extras in return for the money. This isn't aimed at middle-aged blokes grouchy at the world because they never made it, it's for fans of the channel and the people on it.
Basically, it's for almost none of the people on this forum.
Well you wouldnt catch me paying for them. Knickers not meant for me? No thanks. Thought you’d all like to know though.
