One of the things I've noticed in pottery videos from the US is just how often they name brands. Brands of clay, of glaze, of forms, of tools. It's like one long ad.
This offends me at such a primal level, that I cannot concentrate on learning anything from the tutorial. The constant encroachment of consumerism triggers a blind refusal to listen.
This must be a European thing, because Americans don't seem bothered by it at all.
