Addressing The Controversy...

So uh... stickers 👀

But the real controversy is the clothing colors you discriminate against by not wearing it. Where’s the orange? The purple? The pink? The white? I mean really Bandrew. What’s with the color hatred?

How the times have changed. I grew up in a pub in Ireland. I spent my teens dressed by every brewery and distillery going. All my school and sports bags were supplied by them as well. They were giving them away like Smarties 😂. Now you have to pay through the nose for them. I personally like the stickers and merchandising of music related stuff.

All I have to say is.... "OMG SEND ME A STICKER!!!!!!!"

I understand your point about stickers and broadcasting information to the public. Why I disagree though is because if I dont have any information about a person, why would I talk to them? Maybe it's just me being european, but talking to strangers without a clear reason is just not a thing here. If I see someone who has the same interests as me though, there is at least something that I know we could talk about.

Look out Rode I love Podcastage stickers are going to de-throne you!

Stickergate!

We all know what ya like 🤣
So we know your SERIOUS MOMENTS are gonna have a chuckle moment.
... Wait what... You have stickers 😲
I want one or many 🤣🤣

So my car my pc my butt and my Windows will be sans podcastage sticker still?!??

I knew it! I’ve even had my torches sharpened and pitch forks lit, just in case.

This was so brave of you.

I need a sticker! Please

I'm the same way. I've always disliked graphic t shirts and logos. I wear plain shirts and over shirts. Sports brands were popular when I was a teenager and was never into that stuff. And I just found most graphic tshirts ugly. I do like stickers though. But not logos and brands.

Ok, but where can I order this sticky marketing ploy of yours?

Genius marketing video, Bandrew. 🤣👍

People will still make assumptions based on the clothes you wear, even without branding and logos on it

I don't even know you anymore, Bandrew. Everything about your channel is a lie...

I want one! Please?

:(

You listen to black metal? You look and sound like a lost member of the Weakerthans… can I have a sticker?

I'm gonna need a sticker

This is the biggest case of fraud since that lawsuit against the movie "The Never Ending Story".

I want one sticker :3

Stickers is a odd thing to get upset about

Hunting stuff is big on the stickers too. Like guns, archery equipment and stuff like that. Oh and vape stuff, man do they like to send stickers and other crap. I never use stickers either. For one I simply refuse to put any kind of sticker on my car. I think it looks tacky. And lets be honest you are probably going to get rid of it at some point anyway. Also like you I don't like to advertise what I have. It is no ones business what I own. Sure lets advertise what I have so someone can break into my car or home looking for it. No thanks. I will wear clothing that is branded though. I won't go out of my way to buy it but if I somehow end up with it I will wear it. Normally its a gift or something I pick up second hand for next to nothing. I am not going to spend 25 bucks or something on a Browning or Hoyt branded t shirt lol. I might put stickers in my garage or on a tool box or something though from time to time.

Dude, I kept waiting for you to yeet the stickers out the door... sigh... Bandrew, disappointing. A truly lost opportunity :-)

You've got to flip your thinking on this. It's a phenomenon called brand loyalty. If you like a brand and want to support that brand you will willingly and want to wear their t-shirts and also a sticker on your laptop or whatever. You should be proud that you've built a brand that people want to support.

How do I get some of them stickers

a fridge has two purposes in my house : 1: keeping food fresh, 2: dressing them with stickers Yours become collectors items btw....BE PROUD !

I see your point, but I don’t mind getting stickers. Sweetwater’s little bag of candy, along with a sticker, is kinda sweet. 👍🏻

This explains why you hate the stickers in mic cases so much 😂😂

Stickers that size are good coaster's and when they get too soggy, I put them where they belong, The Garbage 😠

This is why I don't like branded clothing or dealership stickers on vehicles.

Where's my free advertising discount?

Hey dude. Firstly I love your open and honest thoughts;you always present a solid differentiation between fact and opinion, and explain why in both cases.
That said, while I respect your opinion on stickers, I would offer an opinion to the contrary:
I like your channel. I like your videos. And by inference, it would make me happy to help be a part of helping you reach even more people.
There's good and bad marketing. Good marketing is expanding your reach to people whom would appreciate your content, but otherwise (without the marketing) would never have heard of you.
Please don't think that this is exploiting your fan base, not at all. If I can help make you more popular, it benefits me too, as you get to review more expensive shit! 😁

A note aside: I totally agree with your opinion and reasoning on heavy metal branded t-shirts and the like. That being said, if you have some AKG, Shure, Neumann, Austrian Audio, etc. t-shirts, they're cool! But get sponsored 😉

u had us in the first half...not gonna lie

lol

oh man i need a sticker

Don’t advertise for big companies for free.

Oh please, i want those stickers 🥰🥰🥰

I mean I stick want your stickers.

I am exactly the same re: branded clothing. I have actually paid MORE in some cases to get the non-branded version...and annoyingly, quite often you have to pay more to not advertise Nike or whoever. In some case - trainers being one - it's almost impossible - but yes, logo T's and shirts - nope. I'll wear shirts that have messages I approve of, or funny tees, but not ones that have advertising on. I am not a walking billboard!

Could I have some of those Podcastage stickers, please? I sort of want them now!

omg so many stickers, he truly loves stickers

So not only do you have stickers, but also shirts?!? Bandrew, you shock me. 🤣

I share your initial feelings and thoughts about stickers, but my reaction is somewhat different. 
I'm thinking: A sticker? And what am I supposed to do with this? Glue it to my forehead to promote their brand?? I'm sure they'd like that, but what do they take me for? There's no way I'm going to advertise for them, unless they pay me for it.
So generally I just don't use the stickers, but they're far too unimportant to be worthy of my hatred. Even though I do realise that I paid for the sticker!
And I did find a use for one sticker. I keep my Rødelink Filmmaker kit in a small bag or pouch, and I stuck a Røde sticker on it to be able to tell it apart from similar bags that have other things in them.

Dude im crying right now this is so funny I can't take it lol

do you sell something that i could buy so that i could get one of those stickers? i would love to put it on my pc case (dont worry nobody would see it nobody ever comes in here)

The sticker hate is my favorite running gag of your mic reviews :D

All the necessary answers indeed!
