Pyle's secret advertisement campaign?

I recently noticed several review videos for Pyle products. As we all know, Pyle is pretty crappy (Pyle of Sh*t), and it's name is usually bashed among us, like other brands (Crosley, Ion, ect.). However, there are several "review" videos praising the units, which I found suspicious. Looking in deeper, they are most likely set up by Pyle, because nearly all of these accounts have only 1 or 2 videos, all reviewing Pyle products and praising them. Examples would be:
My review of vintage turntable sound system ptcds2ui
My New PYLE Vintage PVNP4CD Record Player and mp3 Recorder
And then there's this: an account FULL of these videos (some reuploaded from the aforementioned accounts), praising Pyle stuff.
Pyle Home PTCDS5U Vintage Turntable with CD/Cassette/Radio/Aux-In/USB/SD/MP3 Review
Sorry, but this is plain fake. It's obviously done by Pyle to attempt to overpower us in the opinions on their products to sell more. I know it isn't the only company to do this, but this is a bit obvious...

I think it looks like there was some sort of incentive offer to make reviews, and then they were collected by the pylecustomerreview account. :scratch2:
 
I will never buy any Pyle or Pyramid products again, they're not made to last nor have any build quality/performance in mind, just cheap like a walmart brand.
 
Ya might want to hang onto some Pyle gear. Lately I've seen a bunch of Soundesign and Yorx crap trying to be sold for a good amount of money.

In a hundred years that New in Box Pyle could be worth a fortune. :puke2:

Perhaps a discount if you did it? I must confess I've been guilty of this, but atleast that company gave some quality back. For 15 bucks they'd give you unlocking codes for cellphones, but if you made a video displaying the unlocking process and sent it to them, they'd refund you. I did and I got my money back, and afterwards made the video private... Yeah, perhaps I'm a bastard like that, but I found that that video really sucked. :no:
 
I don't know. I purchased a couple pair of Pyle speakers in the past for use as either rear speakers for a lower level HT system, as well as for a small system in my basement. The ones I bought are Pyle Pro PDWR63 and sound as good or better than others I have tried. For $40 to $70 (not $226 MSRP) there are very good in my opinion. . . even as a small set of speakers by themselves.

I don't know about their other current products, but the above speakers have a very good range, depth and handle the rear channels on a Yamaha RX-V765 @ 105W/ch. I used a different carbon fiber swivel mount so I can tilt and turn the speakers to the best position for my area.
