Stand:
After his participation in 7 vs. Wild, Joe Vogel was literally criticized. Not just on social media, but also on Amazon.
What many people don't know: In addition to YouTube, Joe Vogel also imparts his survival knowledge as the author of numerous books. These can all be ordered on Amazon – but you can also rate them. Apparently some users took advantage of this to get rid of their frustration. Because since the beginning of the 4th season ofThe bad reviews among his life's works are conspicuously collected.
Joe Vogel's books receive multiple 1-star reviews after 7 vs. Wild
Review-Bombing:So far, his books have always had an average rating of 4 to 5 stars. This is still the case, but negative reviews have noticeably increased since mid-October. So it stands to reason that this development correlates with the Stefan drama at 7 vs. Wild. One particularly diligent user even took the trouble to credit the author with several works at once"no idea"from the survival matter.
Overall, the reviews after 7 vs. Wild began broadcasting can be summarized as unobjective, below-the-belt criticism. The following excerpts support this conclusion:
- “Someone seems to have written all the children’s adventure books together or even come up with crafts themselves.”
- “These texts are of maximum interest to amateur botanists. But even these can find better literature. Well, you can use the book to make a fire and wipe your clothes.”
- “Could have been very informative and interesting if another author had written it.”
- “The Relotius of the outdoor/bushcraft world! Like Mr. Habeck, Mr. Vogel should rather write children's books; his stories are more likely to be convincing.”
This is how Joe Vogel reacts:The 40-year-old spoke out personally in a Reddit post on the topic. Overall, actions like these are just meant to make him smile. Instead of being annoyed, he was happy about something more“Encouragement and positive attention”that his critics are causing.He is confident that those“Hate reviews”soon“collectively deleted”become. He also addressed the following words to the people behind the comments:
I have been used to dislike, bullying and insults since childhood. A few Amazon reviews from Whiteknighters and cyber bullies certainly won't break me. They will also not mean any economic disadvantage for me. On the contrary. I receive a lot of encouragement.
But he still wants to gradually withdraw from the 7 vs. Wild bubble. Not because of the hate, but to devote more time to survival content.
