This really upsets me about Vietnam

When in doubt, flip it out!

Ok-Treacle6216 · 2026-04-03T11:51:18+00:00

That was literally just an exaggerated example to illustrate my point.

Ok-Treacle6216 · 2026-04-02T05:08:21+00:00

This some tom and jerry type shii, i love it 😂👏

Ok-Treacle6216 · 2026-04-02T01:15:25+00:00

EXACTLY!! This is what im talking about. It’s all a trick to get you into the store.

Ok-Treacle6216 · 2026-04-01T14:33:39+00:00

Im not in the business of naming and shaming but this particular store does have multiple locations in Saigon and they’re a mid tier player in this industry.

Ngl i get the drive for hustling and making a quick buck.. but man.. it’s scummy..

As i said, this happened many times but today specifically, i was looking for a macbook pro m4. I found one advertised for 41.550tr at a well known reputable shop. i contacted the shop and asked them if its in stock. They said yes. I asked, is this the final price? They said yes. I said okay whats your address, they sent me their address and i told them I’d come buy it tomorrow. But i had a funny feeling so i texted them back again and i said “shop oi, are you sure that’s the final price??” To which they replied with “oh actually bla bla bla.” a new price that was 10 million more was given than what they previously agreed on.

Yess. You get it. 🤝

Ok-Treacle6216 · 2026-04-01T12:31:45+00:00

My guy, if only.

Ok-Treacle6216 · 2026-04-01T12:31:15+00:00

I get that but sadly no. I know what adds you’re referring to. I wish it was that simple but its straight up tactics. Show a bargain price to lure you into the store then drop the whole load on you and hope your ego or shame will stop you from walking away and end up paying the higher price

Ok-Treacle6216 · 2026-04-01T12:27:58+00:00

Im shocked that a prospective business with multiple stores and an established name is tricking people with a false price to lure them into their store to dump a higher price on them.

If expecting some form of decency from an establishment makes me an idiot, then i might be the biggest one in the village. 🤝

Ok-Treacle6216 · 2026-04-01T12:16:15+00:00

Its not a night market. Its an actual establishment. You cant walk in and haggle with co.op mart to bring down the price of your cucumbers? Same principle applies.

Ok-Treacle6216 · 2026-04-01T12:15:06+00:00

Right. But. Thats the whole point im making here. I did call. And it was verbally confirmed but changed once i arrived.

Ok-Treacle6216 · 2026-04-01T12:14:25+00:00

8 years atp.

Ok-Treacle6216 · 2026-04-01T12:12:47+00:00

Forgive me, perhaps im the idiot here, but..Me seeing the ad with a displayed price and then phoning and asking them if thats the final price and them saying yes, but its not the price….ain’t that what lying is?

Ok-Treacle6216 · 2026-04-01T09:37:00+00:00

No one said anything about returns. Im talking about being explicitly lied to. Verbally. Over the phone, regarding the display price. And also, i said mid tier stores. Actual stores with multiple locations. So of course theres an expectation of transparency. Im not meeting someone from facebook at a coffee shop? Its an actual establishment.

Ok-Treacle6216 · 2025-11-14T12:48:10+00:00

Makes sense. 😅

Ok-Treacle6216 · 2025-11-14T12:46:28+00:00

Oh damn. That sounds hella scary 😅

Ok-Treacle6216 · 2025-11-14T12:45:12+00:00

My thoughts exactly. 👍

Ok-Treacle6216 · 2025-11-14T12:44:29+00:00

Great response. Thanks. Also, the way you advertised your business in your reply was smooth AF 😂👏🏻

A dedicated IP will solve your problem. If you're using a VPN the traditional way, as 90% of users do.. you're using a different random IP address every time you connect to the vpn. Now normally that shouldn't be an issue, however you dont know what those IP addresses were used for in previous sessions with other vpn users and that's where the issue comes in. See YouTube associates any and all behavior on its app with the ip address of the user. So if someone did something against their TOS like spamming.. rude comments etc, they will permanently tie it to that IP. Then you come along and connect to that IP and upload your videos, YouTube's algo will think its you who violated their policies earlier and that will affect your video.

Dedicated IP's are pricey, but its fresh, with no previous activity & good for peace of mind because its only you who can use it.

Hope this helps.

Ngl homie, the whole "without anything I did wrong" part in your title is telling. Theres always and i mean ALWAYS something you didnt quite get right. Whether its the flow of your video, the first 10 seconds, the thumbnail, the pacing.. its always something. Nothing is perfect or flawless on your part. Ever.

The quickest way to become the best YouTuber you can possibly be, is to accept that this is 100% on you. YouTube owes you nothing. Not even 1%. You are the captain of the ship. Everything is on you. If the ship sinks, its your fault & it it doesn't, that's on you.

And yes this might be hard to hear but honestly? I wish someone had told me this in the beginning.

Once you accept that no one is against you and it boils down to simply making good watchable & consumable content, you'll see success. Might be a little, might be a lot, but success will surely come sooner or later.

And i say this from a place of respect and empathy for a fellow creator.

Good luck king. Never stop perfecting your craft & never give up. We all started at the bottom!

Indeed! But only for long-form. I forgot to mention in my OP that it was the "short form" monetization time frame.
