It's ironic that some of the best reviews on the web are POTV's own, yet these get no publicity on the main forum, and, I'll bet, are seen by very few members.
 
Ok, I've thought about this .....

Most of these reviews are essentially advertisements for the products, there's a reason the companies are happy to send reviewers stuff for free, because it's a cheap as chips way and effective way to promote their gear to us. So lets forget about the reviewers for a moment and look at what EHPro are getting out of this relationship, they are getting massive exposure for a new tank. That's the symbiotic relationship, between the reviewer and the manufacturer. ... and one cannot really exist without the other. The companies now know that in such a crowded market that's moving this fast if they don't send their products to the youtube reviewers then that product can almost completely pass people by. So yeah I see that it's of mutual benefit to both.

It's also of some benefit to us as consumers, like you said we get to see the item in close up and in some detail before deciding if we want to spend our money on it, we get some build tips or whatever.... all good stuff.

The question is how the forum fits into this?

.... and I mean the forum itself and the forum owners specifically. To me it doesn't seem like a very good relationship.

Lets pretend for a moment that I write a vaping blog and I get sent free stuff for review all the time, my blog gets loads of hits a day and is one of the go to places to find out about a new product. People can comment of my blog and I will be happy to answer those questions posted on my blog, I'm doing good, I get free vaping gear almost every day and I get some revenue from the advertising on my blog.

Now lets pretend that my only contributions to this forum are that almost everyday I will post a link in the reviews section to my blog.... It looks something like this

Review EHPro Big Bear RDTA

The EHPro Big Bear is EHPro's release into the RDTA market. With a design that vapers who use the Limitless RDTA design will recognise but with a deck and tank structure that makes the latest offering from EHPro a little bit different to the run of the mill top coil RDTA design.

Split tank sections so you can put two different juices in, with an included blocker so you can single coil it and with a different spin on the dual post velocity deck it makes for an interesting tank.

Read the review on my blog for close up pictures and full details!


..... I'm not sure how the forum benefits from that? It's essentially the same thing apart from in youtube's case it would be "Watch my video on youtube to find out all the details ..... don't forget to like and subscribe!"

I think I've come to the conclusion that the forum should get something back from that, I'm not convinced it is a 'fair trade' .... for you and me maybe, for the forum owners I'm not so sure.


The same could be said about a load of posts on the forum, Loads os them are in a way free advertizing, but see the other side of it, they save people money which in my book is the most important thing.
I also see in the bargain basement the fasttech new year coupon code thread. now you will obviously take advantage of that as will many of us even though fasttech contribute nothing to the forum themselves and are getting free advertizing.
The point is how is the thread any different to a reviewers thread, fasttech will make a load of money from forum members after getting free advertizing wouldn't you agree
 
So basically im getting singled out for posting reviews in the review forum.

I'm posting a review a day during the working week. Looking down the list of the review forum theres others that are posting far, far more.

...thats fine though, after being group attacked by other reviewers and their friends in February while i was mourning the deah of my dad (some of which i recognise their names in this thread) I have kinda got used to being cornered and forced out of various places.

I'll leave PoTV and remove all links to it.

Have fun folks.

So me getting an email from Digbys and sharing that code on the forum, that's the same as this thread to you?

Even though I have no association with the company in any way, I don't get sent free juice for sharing the code, I'm not reviewing the products and I'm not promoting my own youtube channel that reviews e-liquids ...... that's the same thing?

Sorry, to me it's not 'how is that different' it's "How is that remotely the same?"
 
talk about a "pity party" for a response, mostly no one singled him out at all, as for being "group attacked", geez

as for being pushed out of other forums, maybe contributing a bit, answering reply's to to your self promotion, may not be such a bad idea
