  8. I think the problem with all these channels is they are not really tech, rather product demos in the tech space. I never see anything on messaging platforms for example and yet so many scalable products are built on these platforms. I'd love to see a real tech review… in the mean time you can understand why these are popular, you're basically free advertising for companies.

  9. Can you trust any major "reviewer" on youtube. No, most of them are shills, its just the nature of the business. You want companies to send you products (or even pay you to promote something for that matter). and they are not gonna do that if you have a track record of critically reviewing everything.

  10. He endorsed the escobar phone scam and have not admitted to it till today. Me from the future here. Not only can you not trust that scumbag, he is a straight up scammer

  14. If a content creater says for example: "This video is brought to you by LG i want to thank them for sending me their 88inch 8k oled" you can't trust those type of videos because they will never say anything bad and don't spend enough time with the product

  22. There is a problem with modern day tech reviewers, basically the same problem the world had with auto-magazine reviewers a while back: their reviews are shallow. I'm very sure that a lot of them are very honest, and trying their best to give out, what they think to be, an honest review from their perspective. But, as most of them have admitted, they switch ever so often that they cannot offer you any real life advice of what it's like to live with a device for 2-3-4 years. 

    They advise you to buy phone B instead of phone C, because after spending 5 days on both (and that's an extended review), they liked B more. Real life phone usage does not relate to that at all. The best example I can think of is the Pixel phone, the very first one. Every reviewer went nuts over it and could not recommend it enough. After a while (3-4 months) …they starting doing videos saying that their Pixel is slowing down and under-performing in time (MKBHD has multiple videos on this while Lew, which is a massive fan of Pixel went pretty much silent on the matter yet has reduced his enthusiasm for the Pixel lineup since then). Not to mention all those videos "Iphone 10X after 1 month…I was wrong" or "Samsung Note 20 after 30 days…I changed my mind". They can very well change their mind after 30 days…I can't, or else I'd be upgrading every month.

    I see their content more from an entertainment perspective rather than real-life, genuine advice. I personally love to spend time looking at their videos and see what's new on the market. They are really, really talented content creators. But I just don't take real life consumer advice from them, just as I don't take money advice from Hollywood movie stars :).

  25. I find too many reviewers focus on the box. And I'm thinking, "I don't give a crap about the box! I wanna know about what's in the cottonpickin' thing!" Well hmmm …there's one box I would like to see/have. The box the LG Velvet comes in. (Talk about a great marketing visual……)
