This is a fair enough argument to have.
Iām trying to see it through the eyes of a child and really donāt think Iād be affected at all by his advocacy of fake cards. As a parent and collector though, I donāt like it.
For someone that does these videos for a living he legitimately has no idea about the hobby. Heās the kind of guy that walks into a toy store and buys whatever is new, freaks out when he pulls a $2 dollar GX and says it is worth $25 at minimum. Youād think if your living were something as simple as making Pokemon videos on YouTube that youād at least invest in some time to gain real knowledge on the hobby⦠just canāt stand this guy.
Thatās why I got so triggered about it, he opens packs all the time and didnāt know about this and itās not even new information anymore as itās been around since BREAKThrough or BREAKPoint I think? A set that is over 2 years old already ._.
It feels like he makes up the stuff he says on the fly sometimes. The information is out there to find, but he gets it so wrong nearly all the time. Truly a bizarre thing to witness.
Oh yeah his views are on the decline big time. Iāve noticed most of these big Pokemon card openers are low on the views for the past few months. It was bound to die off sooner or later, opening booster packs is really only so entertaining.
In his Fossil booster box opening he is surprised to get a non-holo version of a holo card, then asks āmaybe itās an error?ā Then he decides to look up the price of his non-holo unlimited Fossil Moltres and proudly proclaims itās worth $13? He acts surprised when he sees commons, saying heās never seen them before⦠Heās blown away by getting ārepeatsā despite the set being 62 cards⦠Was pretty blown away by how little he seemed to know about WoTC era cards, despite literally making his living from Pokemon cards.
I couldnāt imagine having as little knowledge as he seems to when it comes to his career and collection. His channel is on a downward slope and it canāt fall any faster.
Definitely shouldāve put a trigger warning on the vid ⦠I shouldāve told him the whole box was fake and that he should send it to me for disposal
