He needs a new job, adapt with the new normal, get out there and work his ass off, instead of doing nothing with his life ... a parasite.

Wow, I didn't make it through the entire thing but crying because companies won't pay him for good reviews is a unique thing to go public with.

Instead of being an objective place this forum is becoming more of a place to put people to shame.

Respect isn't politeness, it's earned. If you think such brazenness and entitlement doesn't deserve mockery, I wonder what does.[/QUOTE
This seems to becoming the attitude these days, ever questioned if you and others are nothing more than bullies?
I'm having serious problem understanding why the majority of members on this forum (while being bullied out of several fora) are just displaying the same attitude here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

True but it's still kinda negative and these threads come across as being self-congratulatory .

Not a enviable trait .

Well, there's a fine line between a laugh and an obsession. Just hope this thread doesn't continue, because there's only so many ways to roast him without looking repetitive.
Wouldn't have posted here, normally, but I saw someone being wrong and as an Internet Reality Check Police (TM) officer, I had to do my job.

The writer can work in the marketing team of an audio gear manufacturer/retailer. That way, he will have a defined goal, agreed upon by him and the company. Companies only pay entities (excluding employees) from whom they derive (or see the potential to derive) some benefit/growth.

Ironic that there are many Youtube'ers making serious money solely off their videos. I was floored to find out that a guy who basically wanders around Asia acting like a typical patronizing, racist, ugly foreign tourist makes $500,000 a year off of it.

What kind of world does he think, he's living in? Openly paying reviewers for positive publicity would be financial suicide. Not a single customer would ever trust you again :D

I find the whole Instagram, YouTube etc phenomenon rather distasteful. When YouTube started, it was a way for people to post fun personal or instructional videos, not as a means of making money. The whole 'influencers' and reality TV business stinks, people who get large amounts of money without any talent for doing anything other than being outrageous.

When somebody can make $500,000 for being a tourist, whilst scientists have to struggle for funding for important research indicates there's something wrong with our sense of values.
