Shownotes
Can we trust this review or is it just an ad? This is a difficult question to answer in the age of Influencers that try to make a living out of it.
In this episode, I invited @hydro_gav (studio.youtube.com/channel/UClKoHRH-qY-A6YZoXe…)and @hoppline (studio.youtube.com/channel/UCcoMkDM1ttcSti319l…)to chat about being biased or unbiased in videos and reviews. It is difficult to be 100% unbiased but still honest. Our advantage: we are a bit older and are not surviving off Youtube and Instagram. Still - we love support from riders who enjoy our content.
