I think you have made your point. However, others perhaps feel differently.

 

I actually like seeing how the car stacks up against its competitors. Thats one of the things I like about his reviews, he compares cars to their competitors directly. Like I said though, I can only sit through videos on cars that really interest me.

His reviews are very good, but they are VERY long.

 

That's why he has an entire channel dedicated to abbreviated versions of his reviews:

(Alex, please take note)

 

I will check that out

 

One way to get through alex on autos review is to simply change the playback speed to 1.25 or 1.5

 

I have done that!

 

His style of reviews resonate with you and your style...we get that. I also subscribe but selective on which ones I watch, and do skip sections I find boring. But AOA's style tends to be what people reading CR would be looking for. The enthusiasts, he already has stated that his channel isn't that kind.

 

....which perhaps is not surprising, considering that the majority of vehicle-sales (perhaps a large majority) are not made to what we would think of as "enthusiasts". They think of their vehicle as personal transportation, and little else. Of course, as I have outlined in other threads, one can also be a car-enthusiast without being a speed or aggressive-driving enthusiast.

 

Deleted by myself.

 

The majority of his viewership tends to be people shopping a particular vehicle (like appliances), usually finding him on search. Compared to guys like Sofyan Bey/Redline Reviews, I guess most people do prefer shorter reviews, hence why AOA is only at around 370K subs. But I subscribe as well, as no one is limited to only watching one content creator. I even watch that old boomer mechanic in Houston, just to see what clickbait info he is pushing.

 

You must be talking about Scotty Kilmer. I think he finally realized that his former video-habits of loud decibels and arm-waving were turning people off (me included). His recent videos are far more tranquil, quiet, and adult-like.

He also changes his mind too often on what is reliable and what isn't. There are some exceptions that he has stood firm on, but on many vehicles, he will do one video explaining why they are junk, and then another video a couple of days later on why he would actually buy one of them. I've given up trying to make sense out of at least some of what he says.....although he has been consistently right that FCA products rank near the bottom in reliability. But, take Toyota, for example.....he will often prop them up as the most reliable brand, than pick out one Toyota model or another, and make a video about why you should never buy it. Like I said, I've given up some of his advice.

 

He loves to post a clickbait title that something is unreliable, even if he doesnt say it is in the video. All about clicks for him.

 

Alex is great if you're actually buying and don't plan on test driving, I get bored by Alex or I watched a specific part to learn something specific that isn't covered by the other mainstream reviewers.. Savageese is a Toyota Fanboy, even dings Porsche 911's. Red-line I think is the best overall that gives thorough reviews. The guys like Smoking Tire and the Canadians are for us enthusiast's or those of us who buys and like fun cars. As for Doug, dunno how he has that many subscribers I think he's over rated.

I only subscribe to 3 Auto channels on YouTube: Track Tv USA based, Carwow and Joe Achilles UK based, that's it. Other's I watched now and then or if they review a car that I find interesting.

 

I can't stand him. I think he swore once when I first tried to watch and it just turned me off. I won't watch him again.

I used to like these reviews. But lately not so much


As AoA, if he were to hire a professional producer and his show was polished up quite a bit, he probably could be the best there is.


I personally like Doug...he does reviews on old cars and finds odd stuff to talk about. His new car reviews are just pandering to viewers...but his old stuff is great.

 

I like Savageese too...I don't really get the feel that he's a Toyota fanboy though. I also like Motoman
