Man.. so touchy..

i cant hate tho. Ive certainly been guilty of calling it how i see it as well!

 

so not that it really matters, but i’ll offer this comparison. At one time i used to genuinly enjoy working on engines. For free. When i was under the age of 25. Now, i view working on engines as nothing more than a means to support my family. Does that make me “fake”? You decide, while i count my money. And after you decide, i’ll be glad to keep doing what im doing. Regardless of what you conclude.

Youtube is no different. And nobody starts off any passion “knowing” there will be money involved later. The money thing just sort of happens depending upon how much people value what your doing.

as soon as i realized people wanted to give money for my skill set, the game had to change. Because i damn sure aint working on your car because i like to. As soon as i realized my skill was a demand, was the exact moment my “time” became a cost. Tough titty. You want me working on your car, pay me!

 

if your truly a grip “purist”, then all things grip will intrigue you. Regardless of who is or isnt making money off what you deem “pure”. Much like car guys who are truly purists dont give a damn who profits off car parts.

are we gonna call Matt a non grip purist now because he sells grip stuff? No. That would actually be quite the insult to Matts efforts.

its actually looking more like your a brand purist. Or you are Lukes attorney. And if thats the case, shouldnt you be getting compensated for your representation?

did Luke or Ironmind pay Juji to advertise their product?????????????????????!!!!! If not, then there IS no legal, OR moral recourse for the free advertisement from Juji. In fact, the sticker Juji had on his implement (from Luke) was proof enough he didnt have ill intent. Duh.

Oh, and i mean... if we decide to get ballsy enough to go the legal route, maybe Ironmind may jump in here with yet another “opinion” and decide they want to pursue copyright infringements on Luke for making a similar product? Oh man... the cats out of the bag now! Lets all continue saying what we think about others business! Or is it business?... or is it even OUR business?.. ouch, reality hurts sometimes.

 

you could weigh your options here.. thats what i did.

maybe you could contact Juji, and scold him about what he got wrong on the video you payed so much to watch. Or, you can do a rebuttle video to Juji. And correct his audience on what that exact implement it was in his video. You have as many viewers, right? Because that would change everything.... his viewers would then feel so robbed of minute details that they may protest him. Or not. Im sure it will have a huge effect on his “business” given how much his viewers are paying to see his content.

 

or, you could stop paying so much to watch his videos...

 

wait... you did pay to watch his videos? Right?....

 

if not, why are we talking about his money?

 

Oh... thats right.. his videos are free. AND, i had to physically click a tiny button (that certainly no one forced me to click) just to see them. So i guess that means if i dont agree with his content, i should simply not watch it. It is a free country afterall. I know, because i was boots in the sand doing my part to keep it that way. As were many of my loved ones. So enjoy.

 

Try as you may, its gonna be difficult to disagree with anything i just said.

 The only issue I have is calling a product something that it’s not. Called it a blockbuster when it’s not a blockbuster. Also, iron mind can’t patent a square box of metal. There are similar products  For many different things, Coke/Pepsi… Sprite/7-Up… To call one the other is false. I was actually wondering how long it was going to take you to Chime in Tommy.   I always get a kick out of your posts. You make good points on many things.  

You made the comment of fixing engines for free and then making money off it, but you did not misrepresent anything in your work, and you did nothing wrong by making money off of it. You did an honest days work for an honest days pay did not misrepresent anything, I would hope.

That is the only issue I have. Is that wrong For me to think that? I don’t think so. But everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I could care less about what anyone makes, how many views they get, how popular a you tube channel is or any nonsense like that. The only thing I care about is the proper representation of whats being presented. I know this world has compromised the truth greatly nowadays. Should not be that way and will be called out when witnessed otherwise.

No, but much like Juji did in his video, i have been wrong at work before. Obviously, also like Juji, not intentionally. Errors happen. And i was definitely getting paid by the customer when those mistakes happened.  Dont know if Juji was or wasn't getting paid by Luke. Imo it makes all the difference. But even still, that is not my business.

the only thing at risk with this Juji situation is that Luke didnt get the plug people feel hes owed. but i would argue that if he wasnt paid by, or have any agreement with Luke, then nothing is owed.

And lets hit this angle- is Lukes implement easier to lift heavier weight on than the Ironmind block? If so, then it does nothing but make the guy in the vid look stronger if Juji were to further explain the implements. And maybe help Luke sell some merch if anyone decides to get interested.

 

And by using the sticker on his block as reference. that Luke gave him, its obvious he had no underlying intention of misleading.

 

basically what im saying is- so what. And the guy in the vid is still pretty strong regardless of weather Ironmind or Luke got mentioned.

 

now... if the guy had used some tacky or some form of flat out cheat on the lift, and Juji let THAT ride, id be relentlessly blasting his comment section. Only then would it be a purist issue for me..

 

but imo, Juji is the real deal. Hes got a true passion for anything strength related from head to toe. I give him kudos for covering just about every area of body strength without bias. Even at his own expense of not looking so strong sometimes. You wont see bodybuilders, or powerlifters, or strongmen, or especially grip guys these days do the same. Just about every one of those specialists are biased to their own sport, and at times have an open disdain for anything they dont accel at it seems. You know what im saying... powerlifters hate crossfit, bodybuilders refuse to arm wrestle, etc. etc.

But Juji does it all. And i do consider any exposer he gives to be genuine. 

Albiet he is a goober at times.... lol

I can tell you from meeting and competing with Juji  he is a very very nice man. I definitely don’t think he was being malicious in any way. I have nothing bad to say about him having spent a 2 day competition with him and talking to him on a personal level. That being said... state what the product was. 

Your question on easier or harder? I would say that Luke’s is easier because it has a gritty  texture on it.

In that case, i think Juji should do another vid on it. But for no other reason than to make the guy look stronger!

i do get what your saying in regards to the principal of it.. and i can relate. I often operate from a similar perspective. One of my biggest pet peeves around here in particular is when people build a home made thick handle db with plates and call it an inch. i cant stand that!!! It makes me want to running-throw a real inch db at their chest when i see them. ....with both hands obviously. 😆

or when people get an 8-3/8”x3/8” piece of hot rolled and bend it and mention Gold Nail in the same sentence. Ugh.. not even close to the same thing.

 

however, my brows dropped when i saw discussion of youtubers in regards to them getting paid and if they are “real” or not. i hate that also. No one gets a moral or principal say on somebody elses income unless the individual in question is doing something illegal to get that money.

 

 

I have the same pet peeves. A thick dumbbell is no comparison to an inch. Total different animal. 

We are only as good as our word. We should always operate in the highest level of honesty and integrity. Get caught once lying and our credibility goes down the tubes.

But i still dont think Juji lied. Even if he makes no effort to correct the mistake, his intent to expose that guys strength remains genuine.

Lied maliciously no, mistake of equipment? Yes

I heard a guy say one time

working on one car doesn't make you a mechanic.

parking 1 tractor trailer doesn't make you a tractor driver.

 

but you f*+% 1 goat and your a goat f@&*er buddy!

Yes. Human nature. You can do 1 million good things, and 1 bad, human kinds going to forever judge you on that one mistake. Thank God above there is one that does not do that! The only one that matters.

Geeze. every time Tanner posts something supposedly innocent, a huge argument breaks out. Poor @Boulderbrew 😂

I wouldn’t call it an argument. It’s adults discussing their views. It’s nice to have the freedom to have differing opinions and be able to discuss them openly and respectfully. We can agree to disagree, may not like what you say, but I will always defend your right to say it.
