| For those that don’t know Project Farm, and are ready to hit ‘back’ after hearing him talk for 2 seconds, stick it out. He’s incredibly thorough and detailed in how he tests and ranks things. And he tests all kinds of things, from drill bits and bed liner paints to portable battery banks. |

| Exactly, I was initially put off by how weird his videos are, but dude has serious conviction to presenting pure content with no fluff. He pays for all the stuff himself, and reviews kinda weird things you wouldn't expect. I've bought a few things based off of his recommendations, like bungee straps and wrenches. Not always his top pick because I don't always agree with his weightings, but he flashes the raw data so you can make your own calls. |

Sometimes I fast foward to those if it's something I'm interested in. But he's usually too superficial anyway. Torque Test Channel is a lot better and more watchable imho. | | |
| ▲ | bayindirh 16 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | Some of his videos are result of testing things for a couple of years, like headlight restorers. Also, some of the things he shows are pretty through. If it was a wall-of-text sans videos or images, it'd not have this kind of details and information. Because as everyone and their horse say, while he has a ranking and weighing, you can decide what to buy (if you need it) through the video by seeing how it's applied/works/fails/excels. This is hard to convey with text only. | |

| ▲ | stickfigure 4 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | ...and when you're ready to up the skookum level by a couple notches - for similar content - check out AvE. | | |
| ▲ | UltraSane a few seconds ago | parent | next [-] | | AvE was a big supporter of the truck convoy in Toronto which I find very off-putting | |
| ▲ | Arainach 4 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Eh. AvE was amusing for a while, but the shtick grew old to me and it all feels much more theatrical and artificial (not necessarily artificial as in faking data, but artificial as in the entire process designed to be amusing rather than useful) as opposed to the no-nonsense "here's the methodology and the data" of project farm. |

| Yup. He lays things out in a way that gives you power to make a decision. Perhaps you don't like his methodology or his weights, totally fine, you can understand what's important to you and feel pretty happy with a different pick. Style wise, he's like a product reviewer version of kipkay lol. I do think that I'd prefer an NPR whisper version of his reviews though. |

| No, sorry. I just can't listen to him for more than a few seconds, it's something about the way he speaks, the fast cuts, the flashing, it's simply too much for me. I hate that all content that would be better off as text has to be presented as videos now. Thanks for nothing, big tech. |
