Oasis - Roll With It (Official HD Remastered Video) - YouTube

You gotta roll with it
You gotta take your time
You gotta say what you say
Don't let anybody get in your way
'Cause it's all too much for me to take.

OP, the truth is this is the world in which we live now. Influencers, YouTube content masters, etc. get the perks, get the fame, get the insane income in some cases.
It's free marketing for the companies who provide content/products.
I'm not sweating it.
Each day I wake up is a gift and a day closer to delivery day.
Old man once said "Not my dog, not my boot." when asked why he didn't step in and grab a boot a dog was running by with, as someone somewhere would be missing it.
As hokey as it is, I use that analogy a lot in life and it keeps me from stabbing everyone on the planet some days.

Wasn’t it reported that these early builds (Mar-May3) would be used for promo work and sent to media/influencers? I doubt they have as much impact as the 3000+ post-Job 1 priority orders...

But what effect do these influencers have on SELLING Broncos?
No effect on anybody here, but it does/will on those that do not know the difference between the Bronco and Sport.

I hate that they are called "influencers." Who do the influence? And how? I go the Youtube to learn stuff, like how to change a radiator or check the IP configuration from command prompt. I don't watch YouTube to have some random dude in a flannel shirt tell me what to buy.

That having been said, I have a YouTube channel. Can I be an influencer?

I like to know the truth, used to be considered a positive trait. Times have changed....
To each their own, but I don’t see how this has anything to do with the truth? This is REALITY. We all knew it was going to happen.

Or those going to buy one off the lot with ADM who will have theirs before most of us.

Give me some high quality, entertaining content and I'd be happy with that while I wait.

Maybe I'm confused.... What's the lie here? They reserved and recieved a priority build. Big deal.

Or are you just upset because you don't feel so-called "YouTubers" aren't legitimate enough media?

Not upset, are you projecting? Searching out fact does not mean there was/is a lie in a situation. Conflating two issues there that I did not.

What truth? Lol

Companies have used influencers for as long as there have been influencers. I don't understand why people are surprised by something like this. Search youtube for "unboxing" videos, search for product reviews, and there is a strong chance they got a product before the consumers, at a discount, for free, or for limited free use. Hell, movie reviewers get to see movies before all of us.

This is very standard stuff.

Still confused then. What fact are you looking for? You were the one who mentioned being lied to.

The fact is that some will recieve Broncos before others. This has been the case for a while. Not sure what more you need to know.

I've heard that media drive units should go out to media types mid to late June. Can't wait to watch what they create.

The question I posed was is this dealers doing this or is it directly from Ford. All the other commentary has been added or implied by others.

Exactly where did I say I was "lied" to in this thread. Think you may be confused some how.

It was likely always part of a greater marketing strategy from Ford. They have used YouTube influencers this whole time, no reason they wouldn't rollout to them first and continue the strategy.
