Yt Vent (hair Gurus Exposed)

I’m going to be all over the place for the sake of not making this post super long.

I feel like once one popular YTer (Naptural85 - Aloe Vera) post a video....so many other gurus clickbait their ideas (OMG!!!! You Won’t Believe Aloe Did To My Hair:eek:) - this is incredibly annoying. I don’t even click anymore.

The thumbnail videos are annoying too. Before I use to be like awesome before & after, this must work. But if you closely look at the thumbnail pics and surrounding video posts (How I Grew Back My Edges).... those pics are photoshopped. STOP CLICK BAITING FOR VIEWS

Remember when EVERYONE did a Pantene Gold Series video and everyone swore up and down that they loved the products and they were very moisturizing and just the best thing ever.... I don’t see a nare Pantene Gold product in anyone’s updated hair wash routine.

I’m so over YT at this point. Sooner than later Cantu gonna come out w/ a Rice Water Rinse. I’m over YTers saying that don’t follow other YTers tutorials but y’all hopped on that Eco Gold. But now there’s a whole wave of “I Followed A ______ Tutorial” click bait stuff (I do click on those but it’s out of hand now. They’re taking over my feed.)

Anyone else need to vent. Ppl doing too much for this YT check.
 
I was thinking the exact same things the last few days. I’m going to hurt someone if I see another aloe leaf pre poo tutorial. Or if another video comes on and they’re talking about that shampoo massage brush.

It’s to a point that if I see too many YouTubers raving about a product or product line, I won’t even bother trying it.

And then they have a nerve to say that it's $40 and give you a 'discount code' to get it for $20. Mine was $16 on amazon and that's the most expensive one.

Cant even trust reviews these days because they're all sponsored.

Exactly. I bought mine on Amazon too for under $20. It’s an okay massage brush. No reason for it to make an appearance in EVERY natural hair video.

Even the men hair YTers have aloe vera videos. WHYYYYYYYY???!!!!!!
 
Lol! Yeah, some YT videos/themes have gotten odd.

When I'm trying to improve styling or a technique, I gain a lot from combining the smallest details from a very wide variety of videos. For this benefit, I'm usually able to ignore all the shenanigans and appreciate that there are so many folks to watch, from whom to learn tiny things that help.

I never clicked on the $500 video, the mix all my hair products video, etc. Too much.
 
So far I haven't seen any or too many shenanigans on the channels below (and others' channels; these are just some).

CurlyGirlJess does a lot of super honest reviews. Super. :lachen:

MelissaQ
Green Beauty
Olivia Rose

Personally, I take ALL hair videos with a grain of salt. In the end, what works for one person may NOT work for you due to too many differences from product usage to skill to hair texture/quantity, etc.

I like Nap85 and Curly Proverbz because they tend to stick to their routines but neither have the same density as I do so I can't duplicate their styles.

Thx for the shout out! This new trend of "I tried ___ tutorial" is annoying to me as well.

Ugggh, I hate the "I mixed all my product together and THIS is what happened..."

Girl, I am not gonna take 50-11 products with different ingredients, that all serve different purposes, just to mix them altogether.
