Big youtuber Glenn usually reviews music gear, does tutorials on how to record guitars, drums etc, but just lately has been reviewing people’s bands.

The issue however is that he asks up to $50 to “consider a review” with still no guarantee of said review. These streams seem to now rake it in, with onscreen “donations” popping up from bands every couple of minutes. You can imagine lots of small and struggling bands clamouring to get the money to get their chance.

However is this exploitation for exposure?
