[192.02 --> 208.12] yeah oh right uh sponsors uh moss backpack savage jerky and oh ltx oh we're sponsoring ourselves |
[208.12 --> 216.76] we're sponsoring ourselves it's amazing and set that back and uh here we have so much ill-gotten money |
[216.76 --> 220.90] according to this first topic we'll talk about that we can just sponsor ourselves yeah which i think we're |
[220.90 --> 225.42] going to bring nick on for so the first topic of the day is going to be the tech youtubers accused |
[225.42 --> 231.44] of not getting up okay yeah yeah yeah okay i'll just like stand in the back i'll do a i'll do a slab |
[231.44 --> 235.74] squat in the back yeah but um well you're going to get getting owned by the microphone it's okay i'll |
[235.74 --> 240.28] figure it out yeah tech youtubers accused of not disclosing computex sponsorships so nick had the |
[240.28 --> 245.68] great idea of coming down as our businessman to directly address sure um it's pretty simple |
[245.68 --> 254.00] if we're paid by someone we we tell you that's literally it um yes we visit sponsors booths yes we |
[254.00 --> 258.84] create coverage at sponsors booths um we say that right at the beginning of the video at the end of |
[258.84 --> 266.72] the video um we do not charge an appearance fee to show up at a booth um brands reach out to us they |
[266.72 --> 270.36] say we have interesting stuff and you should check it out and we say okay sure we might check it out |
[270.36 --> 277.64] and sometimes we do and sometimes we don't and that's literally how we do it so if you are concerned |
[277.64 --> 281.76] that the content that you're watching is paid for um just check the beginning of the video and if it |
[281.76 --> 286.40] says this is sponsored by so and so then yes and if it doesn't say that then no and it'll also say |
[286.40 --> 292.12] that in the in the video description so it's literally that simple for for us yeah that's it |
[292.12 --> 298.52] cool short and to the point yeah i'm gonna i don't know it's from from my perspective it's like |
[298.52 --> 303.82] i don't know it's it's literally that simple if we're paid by someone we say it and if we don't |
[303.82 --> 309.74] say it then we're not paid by them to make that content that's it yeah yeah cool and i'll add some |
[309.74 --> 316.30] like more kind of anecdotes but that's that's more or less it um i i think most people in the tech |
[316.30 --> 321.52] review space do sort of the same deal i i can't think of anyone off the top of my head who doesn't |
[321.52 --> 328.32] disclose sponsorships that i've been able to notice but um like if if at a lot of the shows that i've |
[328.32 --> 332.34] done it's changed a little bit since i've been doing a lot of shows but a lot of the shows that |
[332.34 --> 339.02] i've done the majority of the videos that come out of that show are not have nothing to do with the |
[339.02 --> 345.62] sponsorship for that show so like say say corsair because they sponsored a bunch of shows that i did |
[345.62 --> 350.48] in the past say corsair is sponsoring it they were a sponsor at computex so we okay that works we created |
[350.48 --> 356.64] 10 videos at computex one video was at the corsair suite they were a sponsor of the show we said that |
[356.64 --> 362.78] it was sponsored by them um the other sponsor we had was glasspass who wasn't at the show and isn't |
[362.78 --> 367.92] a computer manufacturer so it wouldn't be at the show so 90 of the videos were not about the sponsor |
[367.92 --> 373.96] at computex yeah so so nine out of ten videos were not about corsair and oftentimes we'll have it where |
[373.96 --> 379.90] like i'm going to use corsair again i've done a show at pax where corsair was the sponsor and i covered |
[379.90 --> 386.10] like three or four competitors all positively and that was fine and everyone was okay and corsair was happy |
[386.10 --> 389.84] and we were happy and everyone else was happy and just my experience with this which is like |
[389.84 --> 394.50] obviously a lot more limited than someone like luke but i've spent a couple of years since i've been to |
[394.50 --> 400.44] a show for the company with ces but um a big part of my job when i was a ces at that year was just |
[400.44 --> 408.46] go around and find interesting stuff um sponsorship money any none of those sorts of considerations had |
[408.46 --> 412.84] nothing to do with what i was doing it was just walk around take notes if something is interesting |
[412.84 --> 417.30] get some b-roll of it maybe we can do a video on it that was literally it there was never anything |
[417.30 --> 422.52] shady exchanged in the background so yeah and that's that's another important point that i didn't |
[422.52 --> 431.68] mention um but like we don't do anything um where someone says you can't do this all of our sponsorships |
[431.68 --> 437.44] are just about what we can do um we don't do like exclusivity with anyone in the computer space |
[437.44 --> 443.24] at all yeah yeah it'd be a bad idea for us too is tying our hands as to what we can do which makes |
[443.24 --> 447.30] no sense from a business perspective so this is the thing that always makes me kind of chuckle is that |
[447.30 --> 451.90] people go oh you guys just want money you just want money if you think we're all about money |
[451.90 --> 457.92] what would be more intelligent taking some money now and potentially losing the trust of viewers |
[457.92 --> 462.90] or taking more money in the long term while maintaining the trust of viewers and partners |
[462.90 --> 468.48] like if you just think we're all about money the smart choice is for us to be honest about |
[468.48 --> 472.36] who we're being paid by because then we have long longevity and when you have a company of |
[472.36 --> 477.98] 20 odd people i don't know the exact number but somewhere around there um and linus media group is |
[477.98 --> 484.06] indirectly kind of whole propping up float plane right now like that's a lot of people and literally |
[484.06 --> 489.50] companies to support you want a long-term solution you don't want a burst of money in a short period i |
[489.50 --> 495.32] think when scandals or alleged scandals like this pop up people tend to concentrate on short term like |
[495.32 --> 501.72] oh we have evidence of like this one deal that has this like impressive dollar amount on it maybe |
[501.72 --> 507.60] and that's obviously obviously like oh we have evidence of a thing that may have happened one time |
[507.60 --> 512.42] you know and that i think gets eyeballs it gets clicks as opposed to what you were just talking about |
[512.42 --> 517.00] where oh we're trying to like make as much as we can through like a long-term review of things |
[517.00 --> 521.24] and what's going to be sustainable for the long term that isn't particularly interesting to someone |
[521.24 --> 527.64] who wants to read about a youtuber scandal so and like most tech youtubers that i know of that i've |
[527.64 --> 532.88] watched their show coverage of do it in generally the same way uh that we do i'm not saying anyone's |
[532.88 --> 537.00] copying each other i'm not getting into that that doesn't matter but it's you you go to the show you |
[537.00 --> 541.30] do like your little right at the beginning of the video call out thank you for bringing me to the show |
[541.30 --> 546.76] you make a video about whatever happens to be there it'll probably include one to two videos of the |
[546.76 --> 553.80] company that brought you uh plus a whole ton like the last show we were at 90 of the videos were from |
[553.80 --> 557.78] unrelated companies and then at the end of the video you often do another call out thank you for |
[557.78 --> 564.18] bringing me a combutex and then you move on it's it's worked the same way for like five years or |
[564.18 --> 572.48] something i think we're probably like on the more aggressive end of like actually doing content with |
[572.48 --> 577.86] sponsors like that's what made me laugh about this like list or whatever was that like gamers nexus |
[577.86 --> 584.44] was included yeah and they're like the least chilly people you could think they will destroy everyone |
[584.44 --> 589.46] yeah yeah anyway i didn't want to make the whole show about this i just figured yeah i know well it |
[589.46 --> 594.68] was important to address because i know uh a lot of the other tech guys have been really vocal about |
[594.68 --> 597.68] this on twitter and jay made the video and i don't think we've really talked about it much |
[597.68 --> 604.04] we don't yeah we don't typically um he's the wan show for that kind of stuff so we decided to talk |
[604.04 --> 610.28] about it a little bit but yeah that's what it yeah okay thanks nick so yeah if you want if you |
[610.28 --> 616.30] want a little bit more information on stuff you can you can watch jay's video um i don't remember |
[616.30 --> 621.88] exactly what it's titled but i think it's his second most recent video give me one second |
[621.88 --> 626.46] it's called the truth about how i earn money and it's kind of cool because he goes into more stuff |
[626.46 --> 631.84] than just shows he runs down basically uh the like breadth of his business he talks about the |
[631.84 --> 637.52] merchandising line he talks about uh other deals that he's done and uh how he's trying to grow stuff |
[637.52 --> 642.46] like his uh personal branded merch and whatnot it's a little bit like the um the honest answer |
[642.46 --> 646.26] video that yeah did about how we make money although we're not accusing jay of like copying us or anything |
[646.26 --> 651.60] like that it's just a good it's a good thing to do i think so yeah it was i think it was a good it was |
[651.60 --> 656.40] really good timing and a good idea for jay to do his now and we did ours a while ago yes for |
[656.40 --> 663.34] i believe a similar reason i don't remember or not i don't think there was one big specific |
[663.34 --> 668.48] specific event i think just there was a lot of fans were questioning i think there was a lot of |
[668.48 --> 674.08] toxicity like in the comment sections of some of our videos between like that like the intel fans |
[674.08 --> 680.06] the amd fans the nvidia fans all going at each other and trying to say oh here here's who which |
[680.06 --> 684.68] which company's line is favoring the nvidia shill thing or something like that i think yeah yeah because |
[684.68 --> 689.36] i remember in that video we talked about how like nvidia's given us almost nothing uh we just make |
[689.36 --> 692.88] a lot of videos about them because people like their stuff and they're a lot of stuff they're |
[692.88 --> 697.72] they're huge i mean they're the biggest player in the gpu industry so we kind of uh and gpu videos do |
[697.72 --> 704.20] do really well um so yeah we have our honest answers thing jay has his truth about how i make money |
[704.20 --> 709.68] i recommend watching both of them i find them both very interesting yes even our like i knew all of |
[709.68 --> 716.10] ours already but even ours i think was was quite good um and yeah the fact that gamers nexus was |
[716.10 --> 721.02] included is hilarious because they just rip holes in everything they do so like yeah like their their |
[721.02 --> 727.48] stuff is like so technical and in-depth and like if you know if if any youtuber is going to try to get |
[727.48 --> 732.72] away with that kind of thing they would be they would have the hardest road to getting away with it |
[732.72 --> 742.98] so why you know i don't know but anyways moving on to a rumor love them rumors uh we we went from a |
[742.98 --> 748.22] rumor about us to a rumor about a tech company this is a wonderful show it's much less spicy though based |
[748.22 --> 755.42] on hardcore definite facts um so anyways there's a rumor about an eight core version of an 8700k |
[755.42 --> 762.54] that could be coming this fall this is uh by guru 3d and it was posted by rakanoth on the forum |
