This guy has spammed too much low-quality content for me to give him any more of my time.
Let me guess:
- the usual back seat complaints; usb/rear/vent/4 seats/no armrest
- gearing is too short (a positive in my mind)
- something about the seats
- homelink
- gas tank
- sunroof
That's all I've got, and none of it will be changed.

6th could maybe be a little longer for highway mpgs, but aside from that, I 100% agree. I love short gearing; it makes driving fun / engaging. (Why buy a manual if you don't want to shift?) I'm not sure why this is considered an "issue". It's a core component of the character of the car.
Yep, haha.

Hahahaha, they have to pay for their cars somehow.
Some of these guys spent way too much on these cars just to have them to make content so they can get more views, so they can make more revenue to pay for their cars, it is a vicious cycle.

Same. I can't stand that guy anyway. To make a vid nit picking an amazing vehicle like this just rubs me wrong. Get over the little shit.

100%. It's incredibly annoying. I'm VERY happy still, even with the little things it's missing. Enjoy driving it so much that it doesn't matter one bit. Barely even listen to the sound system since the exhaust is so enjoyable.

The things I'd like to see Acura improve on the car are:
- power passenger seat
- more features for the digital gauge cluster, like map integration (this seems like it would largely just be a software thing, but it might also be related to a under powered head unit/control unit that simply can't do additional tasks without bogging completely down... who knows)
- reduction of rattles/buzzes
One thing I don't like is how the FL5 has true rear wide fenders where the ITS has slap-on wideners, much like the FK8. It bothers me how much dirt and fine debris gets trapped behind them on my FK8 and worries me it will be a future point of rust and won't be caught until the problem is pretty bad. But I also know this is likely too costly for Acura to fix and won't happen. The above three issues seem fairly reasonable as updates happen for the model.
Something tells me we might see fog lights show up at the mid model refresh stage. That seems to be the standard for Acura.

Yea, not having the production value of Throttle House immediately negates any feedback a fellow owner might have, right?

I'm afraid it's far more than that. There's reputation, experience, delivery, and entertainment value none of which this random provides. We're hungry for more content, but I'd soon starve then listen to this neckbeard ramble on about short gearing in a sports hatch...

Experience, delivery and finding a way to be entertaining are all skill sets that take time to develop. I don't know who the content creator is, but him having a neck beard and being "random" are not faults that should be taken into account when digesting his feedback on a car he paid good money for. I made a post regarding longer term impressions, which is basically the same thing this guy did (but he just strapped a Go Pro to his head instead of posting on forums).
There are a ton of performance cars that have close ratio gears 1-4 and then spread out 5 and 6 for cruising purposes. I wouldn't mind having a highway gear. Also, yea, our gauge cluster kinda sucks. We don't even get oil temp readouts.
The ITS isn't a perfect car. Feedback, regardless of what the submitter of said feedback looks like, will help hone in on the idea of perfection.
I do agree that kicking a dead horse on rear seat vents or lack of a sunroof can get annoying. We all knew these things going into the car. But this guy didn't talk to those points.

“Money Shift” isn’t all that bad. He still loves his ITS. He’s pointing out what many others have said. He also has done videos on what he loves about the car; that wasn’t posted. Harsh crowd.

Nah man. You put out videos on YouTube, there's only so many chances you get to make an impression and get me going back. If it's a thing where they're doing it to make money, then you HAVE to have compelling content. I've given this dude several chances to win me over, and it just isn't interesting enough for me to want to watch any more. Sorry.
Maybe you do have to have production value of Throttle House to get me to keep watching? I stopped watching Raiti too. There's only so many "5 things I love and 5 things I hate" videos I can stand. Unoriginality doesn't earn my eyeballs, I don't care how starved for content on this specific car I happen to be...
Integra23 on this forum has posted far more interesting things on here than this guy rambling about what he likes and doesn't like. I get that type of content literally every time I come in here- actually have for months.

^^100%. Every time I see @Integra23 's thumbnail pic, especially on the "What did you do to your Integra Type S today?" thread, I'm like - "sweet, I get to see how it's working from someone else first & get good technical info." Plus I don't waste time on videos.
