Spreading Stone, who else shakes it on?

[ovrszd]

I never really seen Messick's posts here, so can't comment on that. But, I do have to say that I've seen Everything Attachments get a bit spammy here w/o adding anything to a thread other than self-promotion. They did that to one of my threads. But hey if they're sponsoring the site, it's entirely their right to, so whatever.

Yep, I've saw that too. I even pushed back against them for it. Especially the fact that the guy responding is using another guy's Logon.

I don't give anyone more rights than another because of money they might or might not contribute to this website. This website is profitable because of post count.

We'll see where the OP falls in this mix.

Well stated.

His post count as of now is at what 10?

Maybe we should give the guy a chance to establish himself a little without jumping the gun?

I totally agree. That's why I am waiting to see what he does.

Maybe post some of his other videos minus Ads??? That would be a great indicator of his intent.

I'm all for him becoming a major contributor and sharer of great tractor operation information on TBN!!!

I wouldn’t expect someone to post video that are already online with ads to post them here without adds. To me that would seem like a lot of hassle and not worth the time it would take. But again I’m no expert at you tube. I would think an honest opinion or answer here and there without always posting a link to a video might be more realistic.

A question I have is

If I was to post a link to a video should I find a way to always do it without ads?

If everyone who posts a link to something they find weather theirs or not to support, show or explain thier point better had to find a way to do it without adds then I would agree!

Again I say, we'll see.

I’ve started watching more than my fair share of crappy YouTube vids. (Not the OP’s by the way). Bad lighting, no editing, terrible sound quality, and poor command of the English language and grammar by people whose PRIMARY language is English turn me off. I have more respect and tolerance for an ESL videographer that is doing a good job.


Anyhow at this point I cut my losses and move on. I’m already disgusted with myself for making a bad choice to waste another moment with the dislike button.

Actually I don’t use the like button either. But that’s just me...

As for the next post below yours, Everything Attachments is on here all the time CLEARLY working it for customers, I don't see anybody here raising an issue about it, so...

EA is a sponsor of TBN. Messicks is a sponsor. Ken's Hooks is a sponsor. FitRite Hydraulics is a sponsor. And so on. They are following the rules and are site sponsors, which gives them the ability to advertise and link to their own stuff for profit. Their handles are marked "Advertiser" so we know. It's transparent and they are supporting the site.

I am a mod on another site and we frequently see folks posting videos with the sole purpose of promoting their YouTube channel. They do it under the guise of participating and being helpful, but about 99% of the time it's really basic/obvious information and not genuinely beneficial to the forum members. In reality, it is a form of spam because they are using the forum as a path to run advertising which profits them, not the forum. That violates the rules of most forums, by the way, but it's up to the management and moderators to enforce it.

When I see a video where someone is telling people they can shake loose materials out of a tractor bucket to spread them (= duh) and it's got advertisements (= profit), it totally fits the pattern.

I'd love to be proven otherwise. Show me a breakthrough video with original thinking and no ads, then I will be thankful and impressed.
