I've agonized over making a post on this subject as I am on neither side in regard to liking or disliking this company. Full transparency that I am not tuned by said company and that was a choice I made after doing my research and deciding to go with national another tuner which is currently used by others as well. With that out of the way, let me say this:
I actually look at this individual's videos to see if I can glean some knowledge as it seems like he is informed and capable on the Coyote platform. Although I have a GT350, which there is not much content on his channel, there are some individuals with GT350s that ask questions sparingly which I hope to come across for current or future reference. Although I am not a fan of his presented personality on YouTube, I don't know the man personally, therefore saying that I don't like a person based on a "product" for public consumption is a line that I won't cross. IMHO the content on his daily postings has "devolved" as it relates to the percentage of requested knowledgeable feedback on questions regarding tuning and setups. I get it that some of the questions asked are either common sense or potentially trolling questions and his responses are provided accordingly, but that content that I believe used to be there has been marginalized. His dislike of Ford products and other YouTubers has now taken center stage, therefore, I have to tune out most times. Additionally, I do not have a particular interest in seven, eight, and nine-second track cars only because my car is street driven, therefore, my goals for my car do not align with discussions on those setups. As we all know, many local quarter-mile tracks are being closed, mine included, so even seeing these cars run those numbers are not in my purview. I admittedly do look at and enjoy his content outside of the daily show on his car dynos and tuning, dragy times on his vehicle and installs which MAYBE relfect his personality outside of the daily show. He actually seems like a chill guy with none of the histrionics included. Lastly, what is dicey to me is in regards to him separating the company with which he is employed and what he says on his channel. Although the disclaimer is stated often that his views do not represent that of his employer, the lines, again IMHO, seemed to be blurred when that is said, then in the next breath it is stated to "take your business elsewhere, "WE" don't want you" in speaking about responses to customer tickets that come across the transom at his place of employment. There seems to be a very vague delineation of "work" versus "YouTube" and the casual observer, based on their perception of his personality, may base doing business with said company on how he is presenting company business as part of the channel. Forgive my long post as I just wanted to provide an objective view on the subject for consumption. As with anything, we all have the choice to do or not do something. It is a choice whether or not to tune into his channel or purchase products/services from the company of which he is employed based on his channel or based on experience dealing with said company. Proceed accordingly on whatever grounds YOU base your choice on. Thank you for listening if you've read this.
