If you have tin ears, then nothing matters. And being a musician isn't for you, anyway.
The best way to appreciate the differences between pickups is playing them through a real tube amp with real speakers.

Pffft, my hearing is burned out from over 20 years of metal concerts... I can't hear shit, I can barely tell the differences between clean tones. But I do find it reassuring to blame my shit playing and results on my gear!

Or plugging your guitar into your audio interface with a spectrum analyzer.
Or shoving the guitar up your ass

Pickups don't matter cuz everyone has "perfect clarity, amazing string separation, tight low end and singing yet not piercing highs".
Did I mention my new signature pickup? It's completely revolutionary, it has "perfect clarity, amazing string separation, tight low end and singing yet not piercing highs".

I could never stand Glenn. He’s like the Rush Limbaugh of shitty YouTube metal channels.
Bloke acts like he has all the answers, but only spits bad advice and misinformation half the time.

After reading a lot of the comments in that particular video, it seems like a lot of people just take his work for it. Makes me cringe.
The problem is that society has gotten to a point where a large social media following is far more important than truth, education, personal experience, and critical thinking.
After all, someone with a lot of subscribers must be the most credible source of information, right?
Again, makes me cringe.

Good points! It's not just about screaming to get attention, it's about education (as well as entertaining of course) and letting people explore tones for themselves and think for themselves. I like that, cheers!

The key to happiness is never to argue with idiots...
... nevertheless, there's a button near the reply one that reads "+Quote". Click it on every post you want to quote and then on the writing box click the "quote posts" button near the "add files" one. You are now replying to different posts in one go. It also works to hit the reply, copy the quoted text and editing your previous post, but you have a 60 minutes range to do it since it was first posted. Don't forget to clear the "replied" text box after.
He's an old troll, but he has his points every now and then. I tested it myself and yes, for the context I care about pickups don't matter. Sure I have my personal favorites but I certainly wouldn't claim them to be important to the sound of my music. Hell, unless I have guitar tracks specifically labeled as to which guitar I used I can't tell, nor do I remember, which guitar I even used

Talking about idiots and arguing with idiots are two different things.
Nevertheless…
…thanks for the tip.
