First off, Im not a very social media savy person. I barely have a facebook account and it has about 40-50 friends that I actually know..I don't do twitter at all..Dont have a youtube channel etc..I do like to watch youtube on occasion..
The last few years it seems Ive seen a trend that, well I don't understand. Ive seen a lot of smiths and makers take shots at other guys, preaching to their fan boys at how "their way is best".My grinds are best, thiers are awful ,etc..Nothing really pointed to the fact of mentioning names but it dosnt take much to figure out what they mean..Some of them are spouting such awful information, I mean none of it with any factual basis at all and people are eating it up..I just don't get how a kid can make a youtube video and suddenly they are superstars in the world of craft..People talking about how great their stuff is but don't even own any of it This steel superior to that steel with absolutely no good information to back it up
Am I that old guy that just dosnt get it now?
