In other words, RichA doesn't know how to read a financial statement.


the last three words of that sentence are superfluous.

Nikon isn't going "down the tubes", despite the FUD campaign from certain
websites.


the last two words of that sentence should be replaced with richa.

He's not the only one making such claims. Ken Wheeler AKA The Angry
Photographer is probably one of the most notable examples, claiming inside
information. It's frightening just how influential some of these YouTube
reviewers are.


many of them are paid shills. that's their 'inside contact'.

Some of them seem to start off independent but as soon as money is to be made
from advertising through YouTube or affiliate links, they start being
controversial and go out of their way to create drama in order to generate
clicks/likes/shares etc.


yep, because it generates higher revenue.

I certainly suspect The Angry Photographer and Ken
Rockwell of having corporate sponsorship these days.


ken rockwell is a lying sack of ****, by his own admission.

nothing he says can be trusted. he thinks he's funny, but he's not.
unfortunately, a lot of people believe the bull**** he shovels.

it's not just photographers either. just look at politicians. they lie
so much that it makes kennyboy look like a saint.

Whatever criticism can be
levelled at them, they did have some useful information early on and were
capable of giving good advise on lenses and cameras at one time.


they might be 'capable of giving good advice' but they deliberately
chose not to do that and instead, sell out.

These days,
it's all "Z-mount lenses are horrrrrrible" or "This lens is great. I bought
mine here..." or "Just get Canon instead" with no actual content or
information.


then stop watching it
