Are they so tone-deaf as to be oblivious how many people have decided to straight up boycott them permanently? Especially among their Deuce purchasers?
I got my Deuce set late, but still about as early as any regular non-reviewer customers (who actually got them!!!) got them. But seeing how they handled the majority of cases/customers means I will never be supporting them with my money again. They oversold. As far as I know in some cases they never delivered.
Same as with Penon: I’m not saying I won’t ever buy a set second hand out of curiosity, but never new in a way that funds their operations.
I guess some people loyally line up for the punishment machine.
I’m still enjoying my Deuce and using it as my daily , but i had to laugh a bit when i got the Quantum mail lol. I’ve learned my lesson the first time. Imagine going trough that amount of struggle with a near kilobuck set. No thanks.
It sucks because the set itself is great.
No, they simply don’t give a fuck.
Lotta reviewers who woulda blasted them if they were a chinese company barely mentioned it in vids and reviews.
The spectacular fail.
Ironic that the Deuce was actually made in China.
I thought the public apology was being withheld to avoid being held responsibe?
Nah, it was being save d up as a sales angle (which is worse)
That guy who lost $15-$20,000…everybody just moved on yeah?
Just saw the vid… So Arcanis doesn’t have special sauce? Just regular tuning. Honestly, I’m happy either way. I had the OG Tea, still own Tea 2, and will add Tea Pro to my arsenal.
I’d be pulling stuff outta my ass to say it’s better than a set I claimed was the best in it’s bracket.
I thing Tea Pro is one of the best deals in the hobby actually.
Enjoyed giving it love again.
The next big thing is sometimes already on your table
They never missed. Unlike most companies, they don’t release 4–10 sets every year—probably just one set a year. Mangird is among the better companies.
Tea was absolutely legendary for its very, very nice vocal replay.
Tea 2 was just a slight improvement on that and also had great 3D.
UP is just a great bass set overall, without the V.
Top is an improved Variation.
Now, Tea Pro—an absolute beast
More and more I appreciate the Tea Pro, right out of the box I called it my fav tuning of all time.
What it does is really highlight diminishing returns with more expensive sets tuned like it. “Valhalla Jr” is how I hear it after some extensive comparison. When you add just a bit of bass, it’s a lot closer in qualities across the board than the massive cost difference would lead some to believe. Would buy the Tea Pro over and over again, value monster that it is. I love the Valhalla, but cannot say I would buy it again, for the price and what it comes with.
Channel was hacked Feb,19 2022
Youtube and Google must get involved separately since your YT is linked through your chosen Gmail.
The 1st compromise is that your adsense is nuked because it is money/bank/tax info and compromised.
How is it possible that the original is listed when it was nuked and my hacked email was switched off to another existing Gmail since they would not proceed using the hacked Gmail? I can’t change it…(it’s existence is baffling)
#2 I was told my paperwork was approved after several attempts over the years.
New account and tax info
Youtube studio on iphone says money on the way
Nothing from Feb 2022 to Feb 2025 is ever being paid
PC Youtube says still processing
Bank says no monies received?
iphone says it was due by march 26??
I have a physical key plus 2FA…and checked and nothing seems to be amiss besides a bonkers 3 year money adventure.
If you ever see a Youtuber having a meltdown about stuff…i can vouche for em
Yo…wtf?
They saved my channel
My members…god bless ya’ll
That money is in the ether too. Same payout system.
Somebody gets my money from ads and members…or it defaults to…?
My channel posts my vids and my Son is healthy so winning but…
I gave up for 3 years, the iphone YT studio app suddenly told me money is coming.
It didn’t and hasn’t since Feb 2022.
PC YT Studio says it’s in process.
With a nuked pay system still listed.
I gave up on this but that’s a lot of money
If the nuked adsense is still listed…where is my last 3 years of payments?
They told me this might be a lingering issue back when they rebuilt and recovered my channel.
Since it can seeminly be redone (just repeat what I did in 2020)
Meet the criteria
Confirm identity
Fill in relevent tax info
set up account to recieve
Pretty simple.
Apparently not…
My channel went through a “Manual” evaluation to get my 100,000 subscriber plaque.
Somebody went over the whole channel history and content and confirmation and approved.
How is this even possible after that.
It’s a bloody shame that there are no real alternatives to YT out there. I’m guessing you never got to talk to someone in person once but had to do everything by mail…
They were epic (Youtube)
They recovered a very badly screwed channel.
I am forever grateful
The recovery requires Google seperately
They have to switch the chan to a mail that is uncompromised
I was told at the time adsense might be a long haul.
Was kinda comfortable and gave up but the approval false alarm made me get back in.
I’m working on it now.
The horror stories I read online about lost chanels and chaos made me happy just to get it back
The YT team in particular are exceptional
To your point, the care was epic but during Covid if you even said the word in a vid it was blocked.
That was a censorship I was not cool with. I had Covid bad and mentioned in passing and vid was blocked and I got a warning.
I know they don’t want false info but folks were on Joe Rogan saying some crazy stuff and he’s no doctor.
I just said the word.
