Dude, I've been trying to find a way to say this without throwing kerosene on the fire, but I had a look at your first fifty posts and literally two of those fifty were in threads not related to your own demo threads.
I know nothing of your motives for posting here, and I'm sure you do great demos and what not, but the way you post does make it look an awful lot like you are only interested in promoting your own videos rather than being part of the community. There are almost as many posts in general as there are in gear, so this place is not just about gear. It is perhaps a common bond, but no more than that. ILF has always been changing, but there is, and perhaps always should be, a somewhat anarchistic streak to the place, with a healthy respect for the DIY, noise-first attitude. This makes it a community sensitive to being used to drive hits, influence things and create hashtags. It is sensitive to being part of a hype machine - at least one that is not of our own making (ain't no hype like homegrown hype).
I can understand you getting upset at appearing to be shat on, but I think if you posted more outside of your own threads you'd perhaps understand where some of those voices are coming from.
I understand and I will definitely make an effort to become more active in the community. It was never my intention to bring on all of this drama but I just felt the need to stand up for myself. I do really like this website and I've found a LOT of cool pedals here. I agree with you and I'd like to put this post behind me and work towards being a better member of this community. I don't get paid for any of these videos and most pedals come out of my own pocket. I just wanted to share them with people because I thought they were cool. Thanks for the well thought out and respectful response, that's all I ever wanted and I appreciate it.

Thank you for making your videos. I enjoy them.
RE-plagiarism.
I think a lot of folks need to watch some Knobs videos then scroll through Youtube demos and see that 90% of the folks out there are actually copying him.
No joke. It's kind of ridiculous. That being said, any demo made of a pedal is a better than not having a demo.
So maybe lighten up you douche knuckles.

Someone trying to be edgy and hipster at the same time.

All respect to Knobs, UC and who have you for doing demos, but I can't stand this aesthetic contributing to the "ooo shiny" aspect and shit.
Also I'm having a good day, as you can tell.

Right? I want my demos filled with maggots and rotten fruit. The real edgy stuff. #realedge

Once I get around to making demos, the setup will be purple velvet and an ashtray.

We are all knobs' demos, except the Arena Corner shyboyz.

I have no problem with that. The way I see it, right now off the top of my head, there are essentially four ways to do these things:
1. The Devi era way: your phone and potato quality video and audio. Carpeted floors with old socks, cig butts and bottle caps.
2. The chatty era: "this is the mix knob and you'll never guess what it does"
3. The Knobs era: make shit look nice, have witty and informative commentary in text.
4. Parody/stand up. Aen and Billy Cardigan style.
Some like the mother, some like the daughter. Fair either way as far as I'm concerned. I'm showing off what a music tool does, how I want to. Sometimes I'm lazy and do the cellphone thing, sometimes I talk instead of writing captions, other times I want to put some real work into it and do the "Knobs" thing, if you will. I have yet to get the humor/parody thing on lock. I'm not really a "in front of the camera" person. Nor am I especially charismatic or funny.

I knew you were holding a grudge about that! But like I said, you can have it. I only do br00tal. Go knit a sweater.

For my next demo I'll never play the pedal.
"This setting is super nice, trust me. It goes like bwaaaaaaaaaah"
