A couple of weeks ago, responses to my post about YouTube coin vids were universal--don't watch 'em. There was one I found useful and fair and I've since found another. But, because I was a longtime consumer reporter, I decided to do a deep dive into all YouTube coin vids.

Mr. Minow's "vast wasteland" comment was aimed at commercial TV, but he could just as well have repeated it re: YouTube (he died only last year at a ripe old age). The lies, scams, come-ons, screaming *** Edited by Staff - The bad word filter is in place for a reason. Bypassing the filter and making the intended word obvious anyway is completely unacceptable. *** headlines and amateurish narration and video editing have both amused and angered me. It's 99.5% "Must NOT See TV."

The one I recently discovered is Dub-C's. No hard sells or sells at all. Just intelligent talk about important news and aspects of our hobby. Some of his videos are overlong and bordering on ponderous. But all in all--I like the guy. Perhaps a number of you do, too. Enjoy your day, friends.
