Nice approach. No need to snipe dude. It was purely a post relating to the modern ways of social media, which in turn is not that far from Youtube. In addition, Instagram 'likes' have no relation to real-life success. Your or I could be highly successful people in our own careers...who knows.
Just to lay my cards on the table, I admire and respect those who write, perform, record and produce original music of a high standard. I tend to avoid people who are trying sell something, and if I visit a guitar shop I consider the guitar tech to be the only person worth talking too! Regarding sales advice, you would be better served by any of the numerous musician related forums. So therefore it probably comes as no surprise that I am not a big fan of these salesmen and/or product placement internet personalities. Give me Peter Hook showing how he plays a certain bass line, or Justin Guitar teaching me something useful anyday of the week, even on Tuesdays!

Fair play! If they have lessons etc via Patreon I have zero issue with that.
If Lee Anderton wants to reduce the costs of his YouTube presence he should bin off the bass videos, no-one wants to hear someone plinking and plunking bass solos for 10 minutes. There are only 2 basses worth having and that's the Fender Precision and Rickenbacker 4003 end of, period. We don't need a YouTube channel for that.
Same with the drums vids, we all know that all drum kit's are the same.
Drivel.
Yes, it can be a solo instrument, but for the majority of playing it isn’t.
Agree with both of these. I'm primarily a guitarist but do play bass sometimes. If I'm after a bass demo, I want to hear how it sounds playing 8th notes, not someone slapping and noodling. The Andertons bass demos are worse than most.
I think the only chance of a review channel being honest is if it was some rich guy buying the gear himself and doing it purely for his own enjoyment.
People can send their money to whoever they want, but why anyone would send it to them is a mystery to me.
The videos are basically glorified adverts, and now you can donate your money so that you can continue watching adverts? Erm... Ok I suppose. If that's how you want to spend your money then go for it.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
