A few things I probably could have expanded on:\n \n- I am very much open to the idea of making videos with new gear if I'm not speaking in them. The problem is that few companies would want this and it's YouTube algorithm poison. \n\n- I should've emphasized this better: No part of me feels like I'm \"giving into the trolls\" or \"letting trolls win\". Those who do value this channel will just see more inspiring and educational content, those who exist solely in the geartube community will see one less face on the weekly treadmill of content. \n\n- I have no ill feelings towards Polyend, or really anyone in-particular here. When I explain these things to someone who isn't part of this space, I probably sound like Brad Pitt from 12 Monkeys.  It's the same ridiculous controversy with the company name changed every few weeks and for some reason I unintentionally volunteered to be the spokesperson for it. \n\n- I've managed to make some of the most viewed gear content on this platform this year and lose money in the process. I started an NPO that is bound by law to make all transactions public at the end of the year. I routinely disclosed my friendships and biases. If THAT is considered \"shilling\", I simply cannot offer more. This already wasn't sustainable. \n\n- Finally, in my position, spending money on gear was actually more problematic than receiving or borrowing a prototype because confirmation bias is MUCH stronger, and nobody is immune to it. I will take a bullet for something I spent $400 on while having no emotion at all regarding something that showed up for free.","like_count":621,"author_id":"UCshObcm-nLhbu8MY50EZ5Ng","author":"@BennJordan","author_thumbnail":"https://yt3.ggpht.com/n4yN6OoQTOtdKr9MtPVRhT38hPTP0NUkc10Ni6wZWljek_9XRq0EuBi7PbmJb2bRs_WxcgQe=s88-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","author_is_uploader":true,"author_is_verified":true,"author_url":"https://www.youtube.com/@BennJordan","is_favorited":false,"_time_text":"2 years ago","timestamp":1727827200,"is_pinned":true},{"id":"Ugzd_ZuMA1RNpfr7mbx4AaABAg.9xOC_XUIPW49xOSvLAWD91","parent":"Ugzd_ZuMA1RNpfr7mbx4AaABAg","text":"The speaking thing is the same thing I'm drawing the line with too.

It's a wild world here especially when you have a fanbase that could be opinionated and I would say, if you look at the analytics or made statistics of those who are vs not subscribed, those who give positive vs neutral vs negative comments, those who actually act on against your content vs those who don't, usually the analytics will show up more of the good rather than the bad, but those who become persistant and those who end up trying to make you feel a certain way are trying to give you a taste of how powerless they are and throw whatever they want at you to give you an understanding of the pain, others tend to be psychos and just do it for the shiis and giggs, but understand that you are suported by thousands but only baffled by a handful compared to those who genuinely support you, they may be jealous for all I know.\n\nDon't get baffled by the backlash because the best content creators suck it up, and learn to immunize against the harsh criticism, and hence simply move on, but if it's someone who criticizes in a polite way as in feedback, hear them out, not those who wish you the worst because you've made a name for yourself for reviewing products in your respective way, and I believe that reviewing products with the showing of cons will actually prompt the manufacturers (if they watch) to tweak on certain things rather than shut you down, because unless you damage the products intentionally in vulgar criticism, they'll worry more on how you approach the product and how you use it, but companies, if they use your video for a commercial to prove credibility on the product, they will just exclude the cons and only put the pros on there while they tweak or consider what should or shouldn't be added or removed on the product.\n\nIt hurts to see that you have to fight through a cranky crowd but I believe that this too shall pass.

The JD-XI was always in the way of me trying to make something on it. If you clicked one wrong button you could lose all everything you've done since last save. Well, I'm taking the list of things the store owner said i wouldn't be able to do without 1800 dollar keyboard and saving them in bank F, cause fuck this shit. 8 years was long enough for me to master and fill up all the banks and save extra the usb feature. What I needed when I went back to the store was a Musician who understood midi implementation, instead I got a gear guy that didn't know. The business of lying for money just takes the soul and humanity out of daily life, and it makes me sad. Also the people, that made the track limitation and no external instrument feature for live lite will not walk free when The American Church of Gay Communism starts righting the wrongs of capital. This decision may make you less money, but you have earned loyalty like few will ever do. Your a real one Benn, lets keep it that way. <3","like_count":0,"author_id":"UCwHdGN0XsIWmfJrxLMZXBQw","author":"@NathanChristensen","author_thumbnail":"https://yt3.ggpht.com/kaCQED1KVDl9FMmRpdcf2rDYItxYorucDY6M4JHqzR3r8XUQvnn7HmKqx7zNbG9Ro-OeGT_E4Q=s88-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","author_is_uploader":false,"author_is_verified":false,"author_url":"https://www.youtube.com/@NathanChristensen","is_favorited":false,"_time_text":"2 years ago","timestamp":1727827200,"is_pinned":false},{"id":"Ugzd_ZuMA1RNpfr7mbx4AaABAg.9xOC_XUIPW49xPCT92u5Rm","parent":"Ugzd_ZuMA1RNpfr7mbx4AaABAg","text":"You can always make gear videos with comments turned off.

Since I am skeptical of who gets paid what on places like you tube, and don't want to accidentally watch bias adds, I tried to find your non-profit to check it out but couldn't find it. You say all business is public and that it's legally mandated, could you provide a link to where we can get this public information? Because I have tried to find it (maybe not hard enough) and could not. I can't find it mentioned on your patreon about page, and it just seems weird that its hard to find this \"public\" information? isn't the Patreon for the youtube channel, which is a non-profit now? The about section of your patreon does not make it seem like it is non-profit which is weird TBH. I can't find any link in your link tree for it either.\n\nI think it's important for you to clarify these things, because while there are unhinged jerks, there are also reasonable people like me who are skeptical and would never dream of threatening, doxing, or anything like that. Just stating my opinion of something smelling fishy, you seem like a nice guy but I don't know you, so why would I take peoples words for these types of things when non-profits are often times very shady? This is why making it easy to find info about your non-profit and these \"public\" transactions would benefit you if you have nothing to hide. \n\nI say this with all due respect, but you have to see how it looks fishy, right?","like_count":1,"author_id":"UCqQWFCsGclT_HtwI7-mERUw","author":"@maxricemusic","author_thumbnail":"https://yt3.ggpht.com/ytc/AIdro_mehMecnKK_rlSUzP-KuumOoFYH2rKKjZUGkTSPvR3Bew=s88-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","author_is_uploader":false,"author_is_verified":false,"author_url":"https://www.youtube.com/@maxricemusic","is_favorited":false,"_time_text":"2 years ago","timestamp":1727827200,"is_pinned":false},{"id":"Ugzd_ZuMA1RNpfr7mbx4AaABAg.9xOC_XUIPW49xORu5i6Yl9","parent":"Ugzd_ZuMA1RNpfr7mbx4AaABAg","text":"Hi Benn.

And musical gear is much the same. The buyers are buying a dream of becoming a top musician. And in reality, the majority never achieve that. So eventually go looking for the next bit of kit that will  get them there.

I do just fine with a $50 mic with some free plugins, and a $35 webcam with some free plugins, and no one has ever said anything. My dog-cam is a 2004 logitech notebook clip-on webcam and it still works fine. My mouse is from something like 2010. I did splurge on a keyboard when I moved from using a laptop and its screen to having a full on second monitor and standalone keyboard setup when I got a bigger desk. No regrets on the K100 Air. But it's the ONE item I've splurged on. I have an app on my otherwise daily use tablet that functions as a stream deck, for FREE. Some people think having bright and shiny shit on screen that lights up pretty colors for the audience to see (like a musician having bright and shiny gear on stage) will cover for their inability to be a good entertainer... but the audience isn't stupid.

Cheers Ben\n\n(In short: I just love what you do man 😀)","like_count":1,"author_id":"UClp1h1a56JkKfsRwWWB7kUw","author":"@Benshisan81","author_thumbnail":"https://yt3.ggpht.com/XL6mGMz7JWQfRyc2QBiE9WMeMQ7CQMK7W6Wtdqt6MEKbNLbY2ufkNt0hVHLOpzdWFtecv5tPaw=s88-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","author_is_uploader":false,"author_is_verified":false,"author_url":"https://www.youtube.com/@Benshisan81","is_favorited":false,"_time_text":"2 years ago","timestamp":1727827200,"is_pinned":false},{"id":"Ugy9R4UR0eJTRG5sHuh4AaABAg","parent":"root","text":"i'm more of a passive watcher but now i almost feel guilty for not letting you know enough, that you videos are real fun to watch and brought lots of interesting points to my thinking about music and gear. sending lots of love man <3","like_count":59,"author_id":"UCr_PSNVZG2hxeLtns5Le-Pg","author":"@HisoriSan","author_thumbnail":"https://yt3.ggpht.com/ItEUB9_xX_7Un2jpAek0AjDF-EkDo1AFMnNyxGP3IWy6IfIKYbyt_ck3xeQhqxjfbHb_vW8O4g=s88-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","author_is_uploader":false,"author_is_verified":false,"author_url":"https://www.youtube.com/@HisoriSan","is_favorited":false,"_time_text":"2 years ago","timestamp":1727827200,"is_pinned":false},{"id":"Ugy9R4UR0eJTRG5sHuh4AaABAg.9xO1_9D_gP-9xOfKSH8mj9","parent":"Ugy9R4UR0eJTRG5sHuh4AaABAg","text":"I second that, thanks!","like_count":3,"author_id":"UCrET5Y-bSpq_F5SDCsb2l5g","author":"@Sool101","author_thumbnail":"https://yt3.ggpht.com/ytc/AIdro_lzn9TLT0OXowM88TgNFZ6rHhiQkFxIaak19UpKnlycfQ=s88-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","author_is_uploader":false,"author_is_verified":false,"author_url":"https://www.youtube.com/@Sool101","is_favorited":false,"_time_text":"2 years ago","timestamp":1727827200,"is_pinned":false},{"id":"UgwaeKmbADHgSgvi1DN4AaABAg","parent":"root","text":"Man, that was gut-wrenching.

But I've learned in life that the most toxic people out there usually are just lonely and hurt and the only way they've learned to get attention to themselves are by redirecting all that negative energy towards others. I try to remind myself that sometimes so I don't get triggered. But whilst that work on a smaller scale, as a creator, I can imagine it must be exhausting when those toxic comments and actions are starting to get directed at you personally in a larger volume.\nSo, end of long text, I get why you do this, I think it is the right choice to do for your own mental health, and for you to keep feeling joy and inspiration in what you do.\nI'm looking greatly forward to all the other content from you in the future, in any format.\nYou're a great inspiration, Benn, one of a very small handful of people that I genuinely look up to and find inspiration in, and that is exactly because of the characteristics that I listed at the beginning of this rant. Least this reminds me to support your Patreon as soon as I get paid.\nTake care, stay inspired, bless your heart, man 💜🙏","like_count":11,"author_id":"UCdn1ZGnlHcZ-vjYBp6kto6w","author":"@Omnimegamog","author_thumbnail":"https://yt3.ggpht.com/ytc/AIdro_nsrz4zSg5dCaCCnEm7_KS4-_Sfa1doGWI7EyxUDUrudZ1ahvhxsdDwvXeOce18W0Drwg=s88-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","author_is_uploader":false,"author_is_verified":false,"author_url":"https://www.youtube.com/@Omnimegamog","is_favorited":false,"_time_text":"2 years ago (edited)","timestamp":1727827200,"is_pinned":false},{"id":"UgyQA56iyY-8cpHN9q14AaABAg.9xN3lkDONzh9xNhEMKDotr","parent":"UgyQA56iyY-8cpHN9q14AaABAg","text":"Oh!

Gotta say first off, really appreciate how honest and upfront you were in the video. That's some real nerve! My Clarett crapped out on me halfway, so I missed the last part, but I still wanted to share a couple of thoughts with you, might be helpful.\r\n\r\nI've been in tough spots too, like what you're dealing with now. A while back, I had to decide whether to stay in a 2.5-year relationship or call it quits. Tough call, right? Both choices had their ups and downs, and it's never easy when you're the one steering the ship.\r\n\r\nSo, a friend suggested I just jot down my thoughts on paper, kinda like a pros and cons list. No need for it to be perfect or structured. Man, there's something about writing stuff down that helps clear your head. Definitely gave me some clarity. Hope it might bring you the same. Always worth a try, only takes like a few seconds anyway.\r\n\r\nI don't think you owe anyone an explanation, or an \"excuse\", as you said, to anyone. \r\n\r\nYouTube's really a place of its own. That used to be a good thing... Now, it's just one of the many variables that people use to interact with their lives. I remember when people didn't even know what YouTube was. Good old days. Comment sections were nicer back then too. New generations are rough.\r\n\r\nDon't take this the wrong way, but I do think you sound  conflicted about all this, and to be fair, I completely get why. The folllowing is coming from a good place. \r\nHave you ever thought about talking to a therapist or counselor maybe? You'd be surprised what these people could do for you. It's a surprise how much one can get out of just 1-3 sessions even if you're tight on cash. The lessons learned may be invaluable and help you in many other areas of life as well. It's not so much about being in a bad place; it's about keeping your head straight. \r\n\r\nFurthermore, there you'll be able to talk  to someone you can trust that can help you deal with the complex emotions and feelings you may be feeling from somethinhg turned sour like this. The kind of public attention you get, is something they might be able to help you handle and deal with it better too.\r\n\r\nThanks for all your work, and best of luck!

I'm happy if you got some free gear out of the gig!  \n \n I value that you're sharing an opinion, above all.  I can go to the manufacturer's web page for the details.  It's a shame that some folks aren't secure enough in their own selves to allow someone the space to hold their own opinion.  As for me, I welcome them, respectfully delivered, that are different than my own... I'm open enough sometimes to let that change me, to learn something new and expand my own breadth through that exposure.  I hope that the folks who channel their self-expression through toxicity can learn a happier path though life.  They've got bigger issues that whatever the latest perceived gear slight they've found, and unfortunately for them those problems will plague them, diminishing their own quality of life until actually dealt with and healed.   \n \n But I diverge!  \n \nAs for your stated \"What's next...\" I've always found your \"other\" videos (ie non-gear denos) much more unique, creative and special.  You've got a curious mind that takes you and your viewer on some incredible adventures and a real penchant for sharing that joy and discovery.  I've always felt richer, smarter or otherwise uplifted after one of them.  I can't wait to see you grow in this direction.  You can be damn sure I'll be along for that ride.  One day I hope to shake your hand at a conference, club or other venue and give you an abbreviated version of this \"Thanks\" in person.  Screens are ubiquitous, but a real human connection is priceless, however brief.  \n\nPS. I totally relate to your \"Forgetting how to string a sentence together,\" esp. after the pandemic shift to work-from-home.  LOL!!!

I have watched this video with interest , and a growing \"oh yes - THIS phenomena again\". Without giving too much away (my real name, what I do, etc..), I would share one piece of wisdom passed to me years ago on a stage (who it was passed to by X , and before by Y, etc throught the years) that I have never forgotten. Through good gigs and bad, satifying record sales and doldrums, I have always remembered that I was a PROFESSIONAL. I was being paid to provide a service. And, as such, I was taught that a \"professional never explains, and never complains\". We get up, we do our job, we say thank you and good night. In that vein, while I completely understand your exhaustion with the .01% of bad actors out there, I would counsel a re-think. And, then, having re-thought, I would come out swinging like Ali and plowing forward through the morass like a freight train. The calculus really is a simple one: is the space you inhabit in this world of ours better, or worse for having you in it. I think we can all agree that we are all better off for your honesty, opinions, reviews, et al. Your sweatshirt reference was spot on: there will always be hand grenade throwing people out there on the sidelines whose sole contribution to the world is to see their name on line, or know they have \"gotten\" to you. These people can best be described using syntax that YouTube will not permit. For now, I urge a short period of R&R, which we all need from time to time, and then get your Pro hat back on and come back stronger than ever. We would all be better off for it. I know I would.

If the need or want isn't there to make reviews videos, fuck them off and do what you do best which is make music, reflect, challenge yourself, go deep into a research/scientific musical areas and share those findings with us.

When I was a kid, no one screamed at Roland or AKAI for having high prices or lacking modulation routing options. We simply kept on dreaming, saved up, and hoped that one day we’d own one of their products. With YouTube, we can literally “experience” these products without having to wait. It spoils us in a sense. The other issue is that because gear is expensive and our resources are limited, we fall into the trap of feeling the need to justify our purchases, which turns the community into warring factions (to the great detriment of appreciating these technological marvels).

I am not one of those people that comments a lot, but I felt like saying something now. It's a shame that you stop to enjoy because of negativity surrounding what you review. I understand it. I agree with you reasoning but not the effect of it, but I'll come back to that later.  I wanted to say that I follow you because you radiate enjoyment in all that you share with us. I've never thought of you as a reviewer but more as a nerd who loves talking about gear, thus \"Ben and Gear\" was very fitting tmho. For instance I love how passionate you are about revebs! I happen to enjoy nerds who ramble on about tech. and you don't just fit in a corporate box, but you have and share your personal view, have your philosophies and even have scientific approaches. I am sure that your audience follows you because of your unique voice and approach. I know I do!\nIt's a shame that more and more corners of the internet become \"infected\" with toxic behaviour. It's something that has been growing these last few years, even into the \"gear section\", one of the friendliest communities. Maybe also a good topic for a documentary, but it's not something new to the world. Why I said that I agree with your reasoning is because I don't agree with it's result in a general sense. I've worked in the film industry as a film-editor and I have seen how both negative and positive reviews affect some directors more then others. A positive review in the papers lifted their spirits and a negative one downed them into the ground. Some of those reviews had constructive criticism and others were biased by a personal view and thus clouded their judgment of the film. An emotional respons to those articles clouded the believe in what they had made and the enjoyment during that proces. A room full of enthusiastic applause during a premiere was forgotten the day a negative review was published. Somehow we have a tendency to make the negative bigger than it needs to be. The reviews did not change the proces of making the film and everything that was experienced and learned throughout that proces. I guess what I want to say is that constructive criticism is something we can learn from, the rest is biased by a personal view like you've also explained in this video. Toxicity comes from a place of not understanding ourselves and or the context something is made in. As long as we know the context we can also look at the criticism and leave what is unnecessary and the toxic for what it is.

However, I'm struggling to see how I'd fit within the survey after reading through it.\r\n\r\nI'm of the belief I have an exceptionally sensitive sense of vibration. I've never considered thought  that any hum/vibration I perceived wasn’t of an explainable, relatively local, source. Large trucks or other heavy equipment come and go fairly quickly. When if goes for a while I’m always sure it’s a train. If a windows is cracked, a handful of minutes after the vibration started, I'll faintly hear the train. The tracks are fairly far away, and that it precedes the train being in auditory range but that much, it tell me I'm sensing it first from quite a considerable distance. Trains are bloody long now and each train lasts quite some time (maybe will try to time some day) for the whole time I can feel it.\r\n\r\nI lived somewhere else, about as far away from tracks, though it was actually a full train yard. And there the vibrations would sometimes start quite suddenly and I might almost say violently. Only when it was at the most extreme, I would ask other people. No one could ever feel anything. To me it was as clear as a bell/elephant-in-the-room.\r\n\r\nIs this \"the Hum\"??? I imagine not??? I have a very hard time believing any externally-sourced low-frequency phenomena is occurring and I can't sense it. (prove me wrong!)\r\nI maybe would function more of a control?

You wouldn’t believe how many people criticize me for the way I speak. I’m originally from Mexico but grew up immersed in British and American music, which shaped my passion and outlook.\n\nI am a music producer originally, and, long story short, I ended up sharing my synth collection on YouTube—in English. Living in New York, I wanted to connect with English-speaking audiences and share this passion.\n\nWhat I didn’t expect was for some people to say they can’t stand my accent—so much so that they claim they can’t even watch my videos because of it.

It hurts a bit that you get mistreated for the things you do.

Non-subscriber, first-time commenter, just passing through. My opinion here is worth about as much as the cost to send the pixels over the internet, but... I figured I'd share them, because THIS IS THE INTERNET and apparently THAT'S WHAT IT'S FOR ... when it's not porn.\n\n...I guess.\n\nI do see your videos crop up from time to time, though. Thanks, Herr Algorytm. I've watched a few of them, and while I've never felt compelled to subscribe, you're NOT on my (rather long) YT Channel shit-list, so... yay? (I should add: I'm old. ...and a curmudgeon. ...and frequently rude and abrasive. e.g.:)\n\nYou are a bad gear reviewer.\n\n...and that's fine! I do actually like watching your videos, because, despite that, I find you are very insightful and you have very interesting things to say about the industry. A lot of those things are Hot Takes™ and I disagree with the majority of them, but what you say is STILL insightful and interesting. ...I think if I knew you in person, we'd probably get along, despite frequent differences in opinions.\n\n(Isn't it interesting how often people judge the people in media they consume by how well they might \"get along\" with the person in some fictional world that will never exist? ...as if they're being judged as members of the same tribe? ...I find that fascinating, yet inescapable.)\n\nI'll continue to click on your videos now and then, FWIW. I like what you have to say, even if I ... don't ... AGREE with what you have to say? ...if that makes sense. \n\nMy favorite videos of yours, as if that matters, are the \"Science!\" ones. Those are great. ...and the ones where you pick apart the nefarious practices of corpo bastards. I hate corporations SO MUCH MORE than I hate people... so that's always fun. :)\n\nGood luck. It SUCKS that people react in the horrible way that they react. ...For what it's worth: I have found that people are simple and stupid and reactionary and generally awful and to be avoided as much as possible. Sadly, establishing good relationships with good people is also the most essential key to personal happiness. ...So... Good luck sorting that out. \n\nANYWAY... my hot take is: I think you're making the right move, and I feel sympathy for your having been forced into doing so. People really suck.\n\nAnd there's my Hot Take™ that no one asked for.\n\n- Another person","like_count":0,"author_id":"UCQWRuIy_YiSpIrGOvf3pkCg","author":"@jriceblue","author_thumbnail":"https://yt3.ggpht.com/ytc/AIdro_myvbfFYCccuO9inFqoD8iKcwRP0WriNE2erxOYwwO8DYFH=s88-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","author_is_uploader":false,"author_is_verified":false,"author_url":"https://www.youtube.com/@jriceblue","is_favorited":false,"_time_text":"2 years ago","timestamp":1727827200,"is_pinned":false},{"id":"UgwfqLA8kG7dFIOG1mF4AaABAg","parent":"root","text":"Are you talking about the choir drone noise?

I've been here like forever, 23 years already. So I do make music, I got friends working for KORG, developers and marketing but we rarely talk about gear. I believe it can be toxic. Not to mention that I'm happy with what I have and I buy something when I really think it's something somehow I wished I could have used before to boost my creativity. Second: for reals? You have been threatened and all the stuff you just said... What the heck? I feel you, dude. That sucks. I don't know if you are a nice guy or an idiot behind the cameras. How can people think they know everything? Your opinions were cool, I like what you say and that's it. There's a lot wrong with people out there, including myself writing and endless message just to say that I stand by your side, and whatever happens just email me, come to Japan, cool off I don't know! That survey thing. That really grabbed my attention. I've been not actually hearing but feeling like the floor is vibrating as if there was a Hummer or and big SUV outside home, or my studio. I can feel it right know on my suspended floor. It's been a month already and Chat GPT says \"you should be seeing a doctor\". Of course I will, eventually.

They can live for 100-500$ salary/pension and their opinions are pretty emotional of course. Some of them write angry comments after similar videos. They don't care about your past, your career.

Nobody deserves abuse.\n\nYeah, the synth/gear community is super toxic. That's one reason I've only ever really posted on sites that have very active moderation. My perspective is that many--if not most--gearheads are on the autism spectrum or at least ADHD. I sure am! And those (we) folks get really, really passionate about minutiae that most people wouldn't give a shit about. They (we) also have poor impulse control and often an inability to understand social cues.\n\nThis doesn't excuse anything--everybody can be kind if they just slow down. But it does suggest that, unfortunately, in this very specific community basically everyone who does what you do is going to get shitty comments. Nor should ASD/ADHD folks use their diagnosis as a dodge. But I bet most of the people who sent you that shit don't, actually, feel very good about it afterwards. That kind of unhinged anger suggests people who have a lot of personal issues they haven't resolved.

Secondly; you've made a ton of cool vids that weren't commercial gear related at all, like the bat sonar one and the loudest sound possible and other ones related to how the music industry takes advantage of people and such and many others. When it came to the gear reviews, I always favored you as prob tied for NUMBER 1 of ALL TIME on account of the fact that you left all the tedious spec details up to other masters such as loopop, and gave your own very thorough take on it based on a bunch of real-life musician exp and workflow mentality. You were the only one to really show how to actually make the MUSIC with a device that I cared to listen to. But all good things come to an end eventually and I think it's good to remake ourselves every so often anyhow. I look forward to seeing what you come up with :)\n\nAlso, I have heard the hum before or rather a low freq rumble in specific places (puget sound of WA, Federal Way, area a while ago but have since stopped being able to hear it. I have moved away but when I come back to visit, my pops still mentions he hears it when I can't now--and he is in his late 60's now) I had many years experience working on fishing vessels and I always assumed it was the main-engines from giant container vessels/their exhaust noise radiating through the topography of the puget sound valley (underwater and then above and through the lands nearby) but idk. It was of such a ''lowness\" that it would be impossible to record or reproduce with anything less than its source (device?). I will take your survey and I wish you good luck man.","like_count":0,"author_id":"UC-qT7J1yFTNr7frtlR2QhGw","author":"@derangedsynthesizer7598","author_thumbnail":"https://yt3.ggpht.com/ytc/AIdro_kpqgAPftQlEhglqZmA4oDWQXRTYAMTjxTSM6GwEH0qLg=s88-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","author_is_uploader":false,"author_is_verified":false,"author_url":"https://www.youtube.com/@derangedsynthesizer7598","is_favorited":false,"_time_text":"2 years ago (edited)","timestamp":1727827200,"is_pinned":false},{"id":"Ugy7WPDyvAXfM50o7Fl4AaABAg","parent":"root","text":"Benn, \n\nSorry to hear about the seriously vicious threats and verbal attacks you have been in put through, for what is basically your comments on pieces of music equipment: not exactly hot political potatoes.

The definition of this is \"a person filled with excessive and single-minded zeal, especially for an extreme religious or political cause\"...I think it's worth noting some descriptors here, 'single-minded' and 'excessive'.  This describes 'the fans' to a T mentioned by Mr. Jordan in this video when he describes the 'fan reactions' to his comments about gear he's trying out on his own time to report his findings and thoughts. \n\nMight I suggest for some of you who have some kind of self reflection capabilities...maybe not be a fan of anything.  How about...enthusiast...or aficionado (my personal preference of term and approach).  The definition of enthusiast is based on the word 'enthusiasm', defined as : intense and eager enjoyment, interest, or approval...with aficionado's definition being:  person who is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about an activity, subject, or pastime.  \n\nSee the difference between a fan and these other types of folks into a hobby are that a fan will fight about their opinions in such a way that they will destroy the enjoyment of others in the same hobby by sheer will power of their beliefs and energy put behind them to make sure all others share that opinion. That's cult behavior.\n\nSo...please...\n\nJoin in the chant (any Nitzer Ebb homies in here?)...and that chant is:\n\nFUCK THE FANS.  FUCK THE FANS.  FUCK THE FANS.

What the hell is wrong with people? My take on the Play upgrade is generally positive. I may or may not take them up on the offer - though, I'm still very pleased with my Play and get a lot of fun out of it; it's not going to stop working (unless I drop it). Nothing really changes, just a nice option should I choose to pursue it. No one's forcing anyone to do anything. ~£400 is a bit steep for me at the moment and being so close to Christmas I probably won't take them up on it for a while, if ever, but I will still enjoy my Play as it currently is. The entitlement people have is absurd. To threaten, or wish someone dead, is completely unacceptable in nearly all cases. I can't say always, as there are extreme circumstances. This is not one of them. At all. If you are one of those who behave like that, what the hell are you doing? Stop being a massive bellend and grow up. This is a hobby for most of us; it's supposed to be fun.

Music youtube is in a sad state and the very vocal part of the people watching it even more so.\n\nPeace, take care and stay safe.","like_count":0,"author_id":"UCPu_3yhv-E7U0NC4tYd-ndA","author":"@PerpetuallyTiredMusician","author_thumbnail":"https://yt3.ggpht.com/IbbsJZidrm40Fxaxvn0vmlYhn7uzY9q5H5S2Xtui2V31RNU2lr75AKMBuq3dDWQmJ7DxTvlm3w=s88-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","author_is_uploader":false,"author_is_verified":false,"author_url":"https://www.youtube.com/@PerpetuallyTiredMusician","is_favorited":false,"_time_text":"2 years ago","timestamp":1727827200,"is_pinned":false},{"id":"UgwwakIrcQh0QhRFX2x4AaABAg","parent":"root","text":"does this mean you'll have more time to make videos on why spotify is a piece of shit? ;) because i'm here for it. also, move on. do the thing that isn't gonna be a drag on your life. internet/youtube commenters are often thriving on drama and gossip and don't really have anything to contribute to anything worth while other than \"gear news channel youtuber dama\". it fills a hole in their lives that would otherwise be filled by soap operas and model railroad trains.","like_count":0,"author_id":"UCRCk82FY0ES-XKSqwpTw-Jw","author":"@buriedintime","author_thumbnail":"https://yt3.ggpht.com/ytc/AIdro_ny3xhtbP-vw2YoqyQ7uT21j8ojwLnzWzmR7GMobrQRras=s88-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","author_is_uploader":false,"author_is_verified":false,"author_url":"https://www.youtube.com/@buriedintime","is_favorited":false,"_time_text":"2 years ago","timestamp":1727827200,"is_pinned":false},{"id":"Ugy64noe7JlFXazg6zl4AaABAg","parent":"root","text":"Dude give them the finger, at the end we live in a simulation, laugh you take life too serious, make music and FK OFF with everyone","like_count":0,"author_id":"UCNg_8LWFWibV2h1x1mlRpwg","author":"@jvf6257","author_thumbnail":"https://yt3.ggpht.com/Z4x0l1aiftWeJIDDJT2Q3Ix6bLSYeuxBGEbCxJddAEg51_VNt1R3YQR04PZmxfvAMtqpMFij=s88-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","author_is_uploader":false,"author_is_verified":false,"author_url":"https://www.youtube.com/@jvf6257","is_favorited":false,"_time_text":"2 years ago","timestamp":1727827200,"is_pinned":false},{"id":"UgzysZKzGHUypCG8dZZ4AaABAg","parent":"root","text":"Dude you have to stop carrying that much about people opinions.
