I mean the artistic camera shots, set design, lighting and editing. Wide range of product to suit every style, detailed reviews narrated with just the right amount of reviewer opinion. Time stamps on the slider bar to easily navigate past a wallet that's not your style and links directly to the products. SERIOUSLY, tell me what else you could have or want in a review. I think this might literally be perfext.

Yes. The wallet industry really is a ripoff. For 5 or 10 years, I've been using nothing but rubber bands (around a stack of cards and some folded cash.... the best rubber bands are the ones that are put around brocolli stems for shipping or in grocery stores - because they are the perfect length, and are wide).. But I'm thinking about finding/making something like you mention, because the cards on the outside eventually get dirty, and if I sweat a lot, the cash gets wet.

Not to mention some of these look like bricks that would be uncomfortable keeping in your back pocket 😅 Ah well, I guess the search continues for some youtuber that is genuinely reviewing these products and not just trying to see them and get money through affiliate links in the bio or something.
