He's now bashing Pentax, and that appears to be more effective at making him money.
Exactly. Here's the story of a man (for context) I'll call shady....
There's a number of non camera elements going on. They've been going on for a while now actually. He probably deleted the videos but he became very jaded against Pentax because his Pentax viewers weren't buying his Merch, weren't using his affiliate links etc. But The Fuji viewers did so he made money off them. He even made a video explaining it all and at that time he had clearly stated that he was now "done with Pentax". Then he went ahead and made more Pentax videos, however, the tone of the Pentax videos had completely changed. Everything now was just "not good, it has all these faults and whatever other issues he could dream up to pitch to his new found agenda. He went so far as to start deleting his own subscribers comments all the while stating in the next few videos that he's "completely unbiased, even puts up with comments that attack him". During that time, he stated in a video that he "sold all his Pentax gear to fund his Fuji equipment", then retracted that by saying that he actually didn't do that as he still had his KP and some lenses. Then, once again, stated that he was "no longer doing Pentax, it was time to move on and focus on Fuji". Which is perfectly fine for what he eluded to for his channels direction.
Then the announcement of the K-3 Mark III came out with the teaser videos from Ricoh.
That's when it all came out. He made a video complaining about the quality of the video footage and said something along the lines of "If that's the video quality of the new camera, "it's a joke, it's terrible, I don't know what's going on here guys, but that was just terrible".
I commented on that video stating that he should realize that if that is in fact the footage from the camera, it's a pre-production model. Well, that set him completely off.
Out he came with the comments putting words in my mouth stating that I actually said "This is footage from the new camera" He then went on saying things like Pentaxforums is sponsored by Pentax and it's a biased site run by a bunch of fanboys, and then he threw some insults at me here and there. Anyways, now that you know what's been happening pseudo behind the scenes, it should give some perspective regarding the content that's being produced. I made a video calling him out on this whole thing, at which point he blocked me from his Instagram (I can't even search for him) but then claims that he doesn't know who I am (hmmm, are ya sure there bud?). So, there ya have it. Whatever the direction is, it's been pretty heavily weighted against Pentax since before D FA 70-210 came out.
P.S According to him, most of his Pentax content is now being done on Instagram now.
