    Thats Public School Education and disabilities at its finest. Its also a goose oversight for you to loose your mind over.

    I'm gonna be honest man. You've got spelling errors all over the place in and around your videos. Disabilities or no, spend a bit more time proofreading or have someone else double check your spelling for you. It goes a long way toward being more professional, which I assume is what you want for your channel. Also it doesn't help to be snarky with anyone that gives you advice like this fellow has. Especially when you have another post on this forum asking for advice on your video/antenna. Slow down and do it right if you want good feedback. Also don't ask for feedback if you don't want honest feedback. No one is here to take you down. All criticisms are valid and can be learned from. There's a mentality that's crept into a lot of youtube ham radio creators that they are infallible gods among men and no criticism applies to them. Some of them even teach unsafe practices and brush off safety concerns that experienced hams have for the ones learning the way. Don't fall in with those crowds. Be safe, take your time to make sure your spelling and grammar is right in your videos, and research your topics. Then take feedback constructively and make changes where need be. Best of luck.

    So far, we've heard "I make these at work, and have very little time", now you're blaming the Public Education System... and then, there it is: blaming disabilities.

    In 2021, there is absolutely no excuse for such basic mistakes.

    Just be a man, take ownership, admit your screw ups, fix them and move on.

    The last thing the world needs is another whiny amateur radio YouTuber.

    After the advice I gave in the post you quoted, I would not be a man of my word or honor if I did not acknowledge and heed your advice. I will attempt to do better in that regard in my future posts. Could I find the option, I would edit my post.

    Now I pose this question back to you. Why do the admins here on QRZ act as if the so called "YouTube Influencers" are infallible as well? There is at least one video out there from a popular ham radio youtuber that is of an instructional nature and shows very unsafe practices that could hurt or on an extreme level kill a new ham trying to just follow their lead. Upon the issue being brought up, their response was to say "don't do what they do". This was of course buried in the comments.

    You guys time and time again back up and support these guys, even when they purvey illegal and/or false information and unsafe practices and act like the people calling them on it are in the wrong. I've asked this before, but I've basically gotten the response that mods as well as the Youtubers are not to be questioned and to drop it. So be it, but if someone gets hurt, killed, arrested, or fined by the FCC, the blood is not on my hands. This is not a reference to ol' Spotter here, whom I would love to see succeed and has not done anything blatantly unsafe or wrong yet. I have a feeling I'll be met with the same response from you or another mod that you are infallible, untouchable, and too high and mighty to be wrong and placed in a critical eye.

    Good day my friend.
