Well said! I’m a freelance graphic designer and these types of videos annoy the hell out of me! Somehow they seem to find a way to pop into my feed, even tho I’ve told KZread not to recommend them to me! Thanks for speaking up ❤️🇦🇺

Thank you so much 🌻! I get what you mean, it makes me cringe when I see the hyped up thumbnails, I try to avoid watching them as much as possible too (but I watched and rewatched more than a dozen to make the parody depicted in this video).

Thanks for the shoutout Mariel, glad to see you back posting again.

My pleasure! Keep up the great content Danny :)

I’m very picky about whose advice I follow on KZread. You always produce well-thought out videos, Mariel.

Hello 🌞! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I always appreciate your kind and supportive comments, thank you!

I agree "There's a sucker born every minute" PT Barnum for the most part I report them as a scam and move on. Yours is one of the few channels I regularly visit (in reality it is to creep on your KDP sales ranks and be jealous of your success :) ) The information here is not self serving but rather directed at doing the greater good for the KDP community. I applaud you for that!

You're doomed. Just kidding. It's up to you and your goals as a content creator, go with your gut!

Thank you! I also listen to the 1st 3 KZreadr's you mentioned, so I guess I am on the right track, lol. 👏I agree with you 100%. You definitely need to pay attention to who you are listening to.

What do you mean?

I'm new to this, but I have been making my own brand since day one, and started selling on Amazon. I'm not sure you are accurate.
