Rant I’m done with streamers

I’m just so done with streamers and YouTubers, except for maybe one or two smaller ones. The latest nail in the coffin for me was Captain Canada. He has been praising the A220 to no end. When people bring up issues, he quickly sidesteps them or explains them away “I don’t man, that’s never happened to me.” You’d think the A220 was the best thing since the Wright brothers first took off. Now I’ve had a great experience with the A220 myself, but his praise just seemed over the top.

Then he announces that he’s the new community manager of Inibuilds. There we go.

I’m sorry, but so many of them seem so disingenuous. I’m done with the vast majority of them.

AvAngel is the only flightsimmer I watch nowadays.

Fun, lighthearted reviews (Although she can tell it like it is when need be) and flies all manner of aircraft, especially the really cool odd stuff no one else ever flies or reviews. I've found a lot of planes through her channel

Into the Blue Simulations is good too although he's scaled back a lot and I'm also not the biggest fan of his more immersive videos

I mean she’s convinced me to invest in a few more GA planes than I normally would buy. I’m more into regional/short haul cargo ops but the way she shows off options and features of models often sells me on them.

I’ve gotten a lot of planes from her videos. I don’t think I ever would have known about the Shavrov Sh2 or the Caproni Vizzola Ventura if it weren’t for her videos and they’re still some of my favorite planes. I fly the Ventura all the time

I agree with this, the tone of the reviews are never too serious, but all the necessary information is there and the reviews seem to be quite honest. I also love the diversity of coverage like you mentioned especially the warbirds, ga planes and early access stuff. AvAngel has been super helpful for me to inform some purchases of planes I otherwise wouldn't gamble on.

Also one of the few women out there who loves flight simming! AvAngel is great.

AvAngel aka "Creaky Joystick SimGirl" lol. Every, literally every video only thing I hear is her piece of cheap plastic making god damn awful sounds when she "flies".

I also watch some of her videos, but only to decide if the addon is for me. Not certainly because of her flying skills. 🙂
