"HamTubers" and the Yaesu FTX 1: Everybody needs to just chill a little

Man, oh man.......has this radio ever brought out the haters and grouchy old men in the comments section of.......well........every social media platform out there LOL. This video was spurred on by a conversation on Instagram about the FTX-1, and about ham radio YouTubers, and how we're all just shills and getting paid and kickbacks for "talking up" this radio. I can't speak for anyone else, but I have not been paid a red cent by Yaesu. I bought this radio with my own money. I pre-ordered it the day it went on sale. I wasn't given any preferential treatment in any way. I did want people to understand what DOES go on under the hood when it comes to paid promotions, sponsorships, and paid product placement. Okay, now that I've said my piece, everyone just chill and play radio. It's just not that serious folks! 73! Evan K2EJT buymeacoffee.com/K2EJT
