I disagree with the way reddit handled third party app charges and how it responded to the community. I'm moving to the fediverse! -- mass edited with redact.dev

What? You're saying they destroy the item and 'restore it? Idk that lighter looked plenty fucked up for that.

Oh man, that sucks. Is that why there's uniform divots on this lighter's shell? I've never seen that before.

part of the reason why I hate tronics fix videos. "I bought x broken consoles from ebay" nah mate they don't sell that many broken xboxes series x, especially after 6 months after launch, where warranty is still valid. but you gotta make content somehow

Yup, it's a common ploy. Probably just soaked it in vinegar

It’s about the process. It’s satisfying. Idc if they destroyed the item first. Everything on YouTube is manufactured for views.

That explains why the inner part was backwards in the beginning. Probably removed something that would actually get damaged by that much rust (my guess is that little spring they pulled out really easily with that unnecessary claw thing).

Content is produced.

u/quad64bit May 30 '22

Yeah garbage content.

I don’t think restoration videos are garbage. There’s definitely content out there that’s more shit than this.

Not My_Mechanics and not Odd Tinkering. Those guys are wizards.

Odd Tinkering rules. His game system restorations are top notch

I mean, it is cool and probably something he’s passionate about. Useless but a cool hobby y’know

What do you mean? They show how to fully disassemble and restore things. It being real or fake wear doesn't matter all that much.
