How I Make Money with Honest Youtube Reviews: My Business Model and History

[Farm Boy]

If and when you get tired or burned out on you tube videos, you (Will) should write a book about your self and all you have done to encourage others of their dreams in success. I'm sure it would help a lot of other people.

 

[Will Prowse]

Check this out. Great guy with integrity and these companies always try to push them to do positive reviews. Ridiculous! When I work with a company, I'm in control. They need ME. I don't know why YouTubers think they need to sign their stupid contracts. I tell the companies that they need to follow my terms that were created with the help of this forum, not theirs.

YouTubers need to have a backbone and take charge. Its so easy to negotiate terms that benefit the viewer, and shill YouTubers don't get it. They will also make more money being honest. It drives me nuts that YouTubers are swayed so easily.

It's really screwing over YouTube channels because they are just advertisements at this point.

Amazon has invited me several times now to be part of their review program where they send me products to review. Above video reminds me of this.

 

[SolarLvr12]

I like your forum and respect how you do things here, you dont make people wait a month or put up a bunch or limits to get them to the point of being able to post.So many forums treat the people like criminals

 

[HighTechLab]

YouTubers fear being honest, but they shouldn't. I watched this video last night and thought about how many shills I watch on YouTube that bow down to the companies and it really disgusts me.

just rehot the SMC and you'll get fan spin

TL/DR (and I only watched 25% or so), if you're going to stick your nose in someone else's business, consult your attorney first.

If someone says a company violated a law, when the law in fact only applied to consumer goods not industrial or manufacturing equipment, they might find themselves in hot water. Even if they do prevail in a court action they will be out $thousands in legal fees.

Hope it was worth it!

That's why you should finish the vid...

 

[Hedges]

OK, I jumped to the last two minutes where he offered to cover the first $10k of legal fees for others who stand up to such legal threats.

I still recommend sticking to what you are good at and your own causes. And avoiding the possibility of slander suits even when you are in the right. Not worth spending our time, emotional energy, or money getting into these fights.

Same goes for many Constitutional Rights cases. Don't want to be the one prosecuted for breaking the law and stripped of many rights just to challenge a violation of the Constitution.

Let someone else be on the firing line.

He's that one (he claims)...he wants a definitive precedent, to avoid this mess across digital platforms.

If everyone else "lets someone else" be on the firing line, then what?
Someone needs to stand up or we all fall.

Don't need it, and Nevada is zero state income tax. My range is couple minutes from my house. I also hate humidity. Nevada perfect for what I do. Have plenty of land for my testing

I am late to the conversation, but having been in the military, I have traveled and been in lots of States. The States with income tax have more condensed services. It depends who you are and your needs or wants. In the end, a person will find a location and society that they are most comfortable with.
Now I have played with solar and although some will say I am wrong but I think that inverters should either be set at 124v instead of 120v or there be an adjustment for larger properties. This voltage is well within the tolerance of all equipment which is +/- 5%. Any thoughts?

why? for voltage drop over long distance?

 

[Dagoth Ur Does Solar]

I feel like a lot of the inverter generators I have actually output a little bit on the higher end voltage-wise, I always wondered if they're like that because they expect a lot of people to be using long extension cords with them... that or it's just bad QC.

This is the guy that DSC Battery has taken to court claiming defamatory reviews.

The gofundme (contributing to it is a good way to protect the small guy) for his significant legal fees is $110,000.

 

[edrivas411]

why? for voltage drop over long distance?

Yes. I have a couple outlets that are a distance away. The power company brings in 124v to my panel. This gets me 118v at those outlets but my 12000xp gets me 113v. That is below the 114v that the manufacturer recommends. I also trip a breaker when using a extension cord to a portable AC unit to an outlet already used. Changing wiring for using solar is very expensive. Buying a transformer to increase voltage is expensive. If I am noticing this, what kind of deterrent is it for others? At the inverter design level it is least expensive and most practical.

Its because the motor under load slows and causes voltage drop due to RPM drop. A solar inverter compensates for voltage drop in batteries with higher amperage draw.

you products are designed to run between 110, and 120 if you have that much voltage drop then your wiring needs to be upgraded for safety reasons.

 

[fuzzmunky415]

Particularly the extension cord to portable AC on shared outlet. That would throw my breaker too.

Inverters can be configured for a range of voltages and frequencies.
Although sometimes, not all functions utilize the adjustable parameters, may have one hardwired.

My Sunny Island are nominally 120V. I've configured 120/208Y, but also 138/240 high-leg delta (using transformers to shift the neutral.)

You can use buck-boost transformer to add a few percent to the voltage. Auto-transformer not isolation transformer, it can be 5% or 10% as large and expensive.

The problem you have starting A/C is 5x starting surge. You're lucky it tripped a breaker, didn't just brownout and burn up the motor.
Is the 12000XP 120/240V? Put a transformer at the far end to step 240V down to 120V. Transformers are a nasty load for inverters, so find a used transformer meant for 240/480 to 120/240 and use just the primary windings at half rated voltage, 120/240V. Or buy a 240V A/C. Or an inverter A/C, no starting surge.

Locate inverter at load and run PV wires the long distance.

The prodigious tree of MGTOW produces abundant high quality fruits and will continue to do so.

Well done, sir. Well done.

I'm neither honest nor intelligent - a quality which you so diplomatically failed to state.
I admit total defeat, I'm only worthy to hold a candle to you.

I can only pray harder to God that he bestows upon me with favors.

 

[DPC]

Thats a great question.....

Some things have a lot of droop in them...
I find setting no load at 125 to 130 compensates for a lot of sins....
Better a touch higher than a touch low when your loaded and it counts.

honestly my magnums when loaded do nto droop at all. perfect example is my centrifuge. when it starts up it draws 90 amps and the voltage at the inverter dips form 240 to 239.5 for such a short duration i can barely catch it on the fluke meter when set to record. at the motor itself it drops by a total of 1 volt once again with the same fluke measuring it and recording. sound like a wiring issue to me.
