I have to admit that I would rather listen to the folks on PA when they express their opinions ... at the very least I know that many of them are much more "educated" in terms of what we all listen to and check out. We might, still, do a few too many old and tired, but goodies, but that's the nature of the art form. 
Scott has an account on PA, and he's interacted with forum members a lot. He's busy now with his show. He has great enthusiasm.

One of the biggest pitfalls of the "album review YouTubers" is that they avoid negativity not to hurt people's feelings. But that in consequence makes the reviewers completely lose their credibility.

yeah I agree. I tend to watch these channels for their entertainment value more than anything else. However to be fair to Scot Lade (and others) he helps to promote bands that get little attention elsewhere. His recent show with members of Echolyn was great and also very informative. However do we have a thread discussing Echolyn? Sadly no (although they have chosen perhaps quite reasonably not to put any tracks up on streaming sites so it's difficult) although both bands have been around for a very similar amount of time!

^ To ignore streaming is a suicidal move for artists. Platforms like Spotify and Bandcamp are promotional devices, and it comes across as incredibly greedy and petty when one in 100 artists says "No! You have to pay up front before you can listen to my music, because I AM SPECIAL!". 

It's their choice, of course. LOL

Yes there is a thread discussing Echolyn but it didn't generate much discussion.
