Misc I have a problem with Canadian Caliber
https://youtu.be/YhwBX_gDBWA?si=6zRR3ldTLChiHUfJI have noticed in their reviews they don't say anything negative about the guns they are "reviewing". All they have is saying positive things about the gun and appear to be shilling out.
What made me post this here is they are deleting all YouTube comments that have any criticisms associated with their flawed review style.
In a industry so small we need people that actually reviews products and not shill. We can't just have people talking complete positive and ignoring any problems.
I have a alcor 223 but I have had problems with it. It baffles me a review channel can go about ignoring everything and deleting comments just to prop up a product.
Deleting comments was a tipping point for me. Even if they weren't deleting comments and this was all a YouTube glitch, they still need to start reviewing effectively.
Do better Canadian Caliber

Everytime i watch one of their videos i just think "easy now boys, save some pussy for the rest of us".
Plate carries, garbage accessories, misinformation, cheap turkish guns that shouldn't even exist. Canadian mall ninja, they just need to slap some red anodized parts on that 410. Revolver shotgun.
The truth is, these guy have a target audience, its new shooters, with little knowledge, looking into firearms, often ones they can afford and with a tacticool vibe. I would not say its a grift, but the biased exaggerated reviews are intentional. One because they probably are involved some how with the import and sale of a lot of this crap, and two, because their target audience doesn't want to hear how shitty the gun they just bought is, they wanna hear the dude in the plate carrier praise everything in their limited price range.
In reality, we all want AR15s, and I don't care what any of you say, most of the shit these guys are reviewing probably wouldn't ever be imported if our market wasn't so restricted, and we certainly wouldn't be paying this price for it or discussing it on reddit. We are filling a void or trying to have a taste of a firearms experience we were to late to.
Canadian Caliber (not Caliber magazine) exist because of niche viewership and market. And honestly a lot of these guns are janky, don't run well, won't last, and/or will be impossible to repair or improve. There really isn't a need for a negative review if you assume the 600 dollar r92 lever action or the only weird turkish 223. Left on legal might have issues. And its pretty obvious that none of the guns they do review get more than a few dozen rounds through them, so they can really be honest at all.
