Well... I see a new trend

On YouTube, so far 2 of the RV channels have gotten a new Dish satellite system... How many more will post videos? Let's see.. Last month it was a cell phone booster... **** YouTube is turning into a infomercial channel! Like we don't know these slackers are getting this stuff for free
  • You folks haven't seen anything yet. A few days ago, the courts made the death of "Net Neutrality" official. The BIG players and internet providers can now control everything about the way you access the internet. Money rules! BIG Money corrupts everything it touches.

    "Net Neutrality" was a COMPLETELY UNENFORCEABLE FARCE piece of legislation.

    Would have ultimately COST TAX PAYERS AND ALL USERS in higher taxes PLUS ADDITIONAL SERVICE FEES which would have been passed on to YOU the CONSUMER WHO BUYS AND USES THE INTERNET CONNECTION.

    Additionally by attempting to "level the playing field" you now squash out any additional technological advances which would increase bandwidth and equipment because now there would no longer be any incentive for companies to do R&D or spend money on upgrading infrastructure.

    So what, your "You tube" channel may not be quite as fast as someone else s, WHO CARES?? As long as it doesn't buffer it WILL STILL WORK fine.

    You're out of touch with reality. Your cost to connect to the internet (which is already higher in the USA for poorer service than other developed nations) is going up even more as providers strengthen their hold. The big will get bigger as they buy the smaller competition up and raise rates. Bigger has never meant better throughout my lifetime - only more costly.

    Just got home from work. All I wanted to do was watch some football. But kept getting interrupted by commercials. I am officially done with tv and all these companies begging me to purchase their products.

    I gave up TV long time ago,when Internet came,now on YT I can just swipe and turn the adds off.

    There are RV channels on youtube?

    Whole bunch o them actualy,
    Some people who arent able to travel or in other countries love to watch them.
    Nomadic fanatic is interesting
    Cheap RV living too
    Many others too just search for Van living or bus conversion or whatever and its there
    Australian campers have some great designs

    I mostly like technical advice and YT has everything from car truck repairs to RV stuff

    Half or most of them are E beggars. You can hardly get through a video without them prompting you to support them on Patrion, or buy their merchandise. Most of them have links to products they are pushing in their headliner that they get a kick back from. Seems like there are getting to be too many of them trying to get viewers to pay for them to rv. Many are young people. You got to wonder what their retirement will look like in 30 years, when they have not saved a nickel, and have never had a real job. Maybe I should have retired at 25, and went rving. Please, could everyone send me 20 bucks so I can rv at no expense to myself. Thank you in advance.

    No one is forcing you to pay,,I never do,they make money from Ad revenue anyway.
    Retirement LOL,chanels with milions subscribers take in so much money they dont ever need to worry about working,
    Its the new world out there.
    Thats why so many people do YT

    I like to see diferent countries
    And could never aford to go so YT vids are great escape while siting at home for example

  • I like watching YouTube as well, but I already pay $70 a month for internet, and watch a commercial before, during, and after ever video I play. I don't need to send money to people who think taking videos and posting them requires more money on my part. Like I said, when YouTube starts charging for its content, I will quit watching it. With the amount of commercials they have now, its as bad as watching TV.
  • This has been happening right along, and some YTubers tell you right up front that they've gotten the items free. Many times you can at least see how they install them.
