Even though he was a bit annoying with the way he interacted with Ryan, I kinda miss his brs videos. I see that lately the interesting videos brs made are a thing of the past. I guess too expensive to make without a big enough roi for the investors. Who else misses the videos from before the buyout?

I gave up on BRS videos. It’s all just “spotlights” on things you should buy now. I know there are a couple of newer YouTubers that I used to watch that are now at BRS but I but don’t like them as much as I did before.

Couldn't agree with you more. The videos are imho 100% geared towards selling you something. I wonder how Ryan feels about his new work environment? I always saw him as someone who is really into the hobby and made a business out of it. Sometimes deals look great on paper but are really different in reality. I think randy saw what was coming and didn't want to be a part of it and just moved on.

The new videos with Elliot and Randy are good

I do miss the content him and Ryan were putting out. Plenty of other content out there but nothing with that investigative flavor.
found him far more relatable - and consistent

Ryan buys 2K of gonis at a crack, and changes mind about 2 UVs vs 1 vs none in a span of a year - no time for that

Do miss randy and have stopped watching for anything new from BRS

Yup I miss him. I loved the BRS investigates videos. You could tell things were going to change as soon as Bertram joined in.

Maybe, maybe not. You just have to understand that Ryan is a very goal driven person who had a vision and making it happen. Nothing wrong. In fact people in and out of the hobby should respect that because it is a success story.

With regards to content that is a different issue. Much of the content on the web is horrible as it relates to our hobby. A lot more success in the hobby when people opened a book instead of asking a search engine of forum.
