Youtubers

With so many Youtubers out there who are the best ones to check out ?

 When I first started dabbling with 3rd party addons and making my own builds i like 1000's of others went to Youtube to start searching for answers, Wading through until finding out what i needed to know. Then it was time to move on to make my own wizard and after weeks of following tutorials i was hugely frustrated at not being able to see what i was doing wrong. 

 Having asked as many builders and messaging some Youtubers I had many answers from builders but only 2 replies from Youtubers. The first Youtubers response was "this is my living and i will do a wizard for you but you would have to send £170" after saying i would get back to him i had half decided to give up, When out of the blue the second guy said send email me all the details. After a few days he replied that i had done everything ok but the issue was with my hosting. So after changing my hosting iit worked bang on and i have not looked back since. This guy did all that and asked for nothing, So i donated a few quid as a thank you.

 The point i am making is that 95% of Youtubers want your subscriptions, Shares and so on as it is a source of income for them. I am in no way condemning that and i may even look to become a Youtuber myself one day. The reason I say One day is because right now I have nothing technically to teach or help anybody with and with all due respect any muppet can join the crowd where you can watch around 8 to 12 videos a day that are the best builds or best add on and teaching you how to install an addon. We will use metaliq add on for an example, As it is not in a repo many Youtubers used that opportunity to put the link into their own adfly link just to get a few pennies out of it.

 If you want to watch videos of builds showing you the same addons but different pictures or videos on a new IPTV stalker that will last for 2 to 3 days then you are in luck as there are stacks for you to find, however if you are looking on videos on how to modify your current skin and I do not mean from within the skin itself I am talking about using the texture tool and html or the little things required to make your wizard among other things your choice is limited, They are there but finding the good ones you can find yourself distracted by all the other stuff that comes up in a search.

 The best information for addons and repos is by far on Twitter where you can follow the dev's themselves and get all the info you need about sources and repos. 

 After a while now checking in on Youtube and Twitter regularly you will find a certain "clique" between Youtubers and if one has a dispute with someone they seem to then gang up on that person, Hopefully one day they will realise how transparent they are, they was even a recent instance where a screenshot was shown of a Youtuber asking another party for $200 for a good review, When the other party refused there was a review done anyway and guess what???? ..........Well you already know the answer on what kind of review it had.

 With all this said i have decided that everyday i am going to do a review of Youtubers, As i keep saying these will be my opinion and no one else's.

Kodi Builds

Being a very very new blog I was full of ideas when i started out about reviewing everything and his dog. Today i was going to do some reviews on builds......But after checking out around Seventeen or Eighteen I can't quite remember I realised that basically reviewing builds is totally and utterly pointless.

Here is for why.......Apart from the look they are all pretty much the same with all the same add ons, Some look fantastic and of course the lighter builds are a little more responsive, but in truth nothing to write home about. So my builds section will be dropped like a stone from a great height.

I have however decided to do something else. I have today ordered a number of different devices from china. I have ordered Eight in total from the MXQ to a few variations of TV android sticks, All of which i will test out and review for you good people. Then (if i have enough readers by then) I will raffle off for charity.

For my own personal use i currently run with a an Amazon firestick and my Mrs uses a cheap 2gb box i bought cheap some time ago. From my own personal views I read all the time about firestick's not having enough memory and so on. Well I run two builds on mine one of which is over 500MB and the other is 130MB. Both run fine and I have never had any issues.

Final thought for today is back to the "best build" being touted all over twitter again with all this "vote for me"...........GUYS YOUR BUILDS ALL HAVE THE SAME STUFF ON THEM.

A look at the TDB wizard

Today I have been looking around the TDB wizard and in fairness I can only see this going one way and that is up. As well as hosting their own builds they also have a community builds section with more great builds. Full with maintenance tools, In time i can see this wizard giving Ares a run for their money and all in all another great addition to the Kodi experience.



TDB themselves have their own builds which are Horus, Horus xxxl , Ember , Zeus, Steam and chill and Toonflix. Also builds from Kiddo, Tombraider, Top tutorials, LEETV, Done right and Kodi nutz. All respected builds in their own right and all right here in one add on. 

The Forum for TDB is very informative and helpful packed with all all the news from updates to new builds and questions are answered quickly, While the twitter feed is constantly updated and the facebook page as a friendly feel about it.

If your looking for something relatively new and different then this wizard is well worth a look.
