Unbox Therapy Responds to the Escobar Fold 2 Controversy

40 Comments

1. 5:02 I dont even know why he brought this part of his video up, Maybe its because I am an old get and I already know better where a lot of the YouTube audience is Younger and not as wise, But I KNOW that this is just a "Persona" – Its an ACT! It is what gives Unbox Therapy a Unique Selling Point – The idea he is so passionate about any kind of tech that he orgasms at the very thought of unboxing anything!

   If he was to stand there and say "Hey, Microsoft just sent me another of their piece of shit laptops… GOD I DON'T WANNA DO THIS!" People would switch off… Hmmmm… I wonder has he singled this out to try and divert from genuine critique?

2. You say on asking everyone about taking the video down doesnt matter it's actually cool that hes asking but it doesn't matter if it stays up because the website doesnt exist anymore so no one can fall for the scam

3. Took long enough to response and this is his best effect
   Pathetic

4. Trying to spin himself out of this
   And failed

5. I might take him seriously when he address the iPhone scam

6. Youtube has its own poll software. Why not do an actual poll rather than “check the comments”. He can delete those comments and change the outcome. That video is not coming down.

7. ….wait?! Are we 100% sure it's a scam? I just thought it was speculation?

8. Yes he should still do unboxing on these type of items because I don't want him getting stuff for free..

9. …to be fair.. any product besides "White" with Pablo Escobar name on it Be very skeptical…

10. Gotta disagree a little bit here. I agree with most of your points. He should have indeed made it crystal clear that this phone doesn't seem right. But, you said that he is a tech YouTuber so people watch his reviews to make decisions about buying tech products. and that's where I mostly disagree. if you look at MKBHD, he reviews tech products. He'll show you every aspect of the phone in great detail. That's where you can say viewers come to make decisions. But UnboxTherapy is NOT this kind of channel. his channel is always about the weird or the ultimate products. sometimes he'll make a camera test but that's pretty much it. He does not review phones and I can't speak for everyone but it is pretty clear by the nature of his videos that he doesn't review technology. He will rather inform about weird products. He never goes into showing details about anything that will make you decide what to buy. That's just not his channel. The best way to put it is like he did. it's about the scepticism. I really can't say that anyone makes their tech related decisions based on his videos. Just kindly disagree with you there. That being said he should have made it very clear that this isn't a normal product and you should look into it carefully.

11. Here is a thought that I haven't heard mention from Unbox Therapy or MKHBD, What's to say the company doing this scam with the phones that they did send out have not been rooted and have malware installed? Keyloggers come to mind.

12. It's funny that the scam used hot attractive chicks in their underwear for their ads. They were probably like;

    "Hm, what will lore ignorant people to buy our scam? Something that mostly everyone loves. Oh, I know! Hot women in lingerie! It's not like anyone used this tactic; it's perfect!"

    Me: * facepalm *

13. He already copied a phone case and sold it as his own, then he promised footage of him using Stadia with no issues and never delivered and now he took drug money and helped this scam… shady greedy dude playing dumb.

14. It’s obvious tone anyone he was paid to promote that, come on

15. Unboxtherapy talks a lot without saying much. I'm far too old and far too cynical to trust anything he says.

16. Why does it matter I really dont understand why people are so upset about this

17. Love the shot at Suzy Who and also really good video Tipster

18. he made it ok but…take down

19. "I didn't get paid to promote this product", you sure bout that? How's that $2000 Samsung Fold disguised as an Escobar 2 going for you? Did you send it back? Nope? Hmmmmmmmm.

20. This is just like the "blackpods" video where basically it came from a scam site.

21. Can we STOP with the YT Jerry Springer shit?! Who fucking cares? Seriously. You have games and gaming items behind YOU. Just do some gaming content and mind your own business. This shit has absolutely nothing to do with YOU, me or anyone else. I call people out on bullshit IN PERSON. Just stop already and mind your own. Seems like you’re doing this for views. I like your other vids but leave this dumb drama shit to scumbags like Keemstar…..

22. Still so happy to see Tip come up in my notifications again..

23. He wants participation for engagement on his content.. This isn’t the first time he’s been less than honest about products… I for one am sick of people getting away with this kind of bs..

    Don’t fall for this bs… Pricks love to bend their values and then when they are caught now all of a sudden “we care what you think; this channel is about you; etc.”

24. I like your videos but your intro makes me want to slit my wrists and bury my hands in salt.

25. I wonder how many people actually paid for one and never received it?, thats all i care about, besides Lews a POS too

26. Why this douche has 8 figure subscribers boggles my mind. His videos are cringing and garbage. He’s already a known scammer of his cases.

27. Complete shill

28. Unbox Therapy is bad at lying…

29. Intriguing?

30. Whether he promoted the Escobar Fold 2 at the onset really isn't the point……unless he knew beforehand that it was a fake. Barring this, it is the audience's responsibility to make the decision about purchasing for themselves. I think that society today is all too eager to place blame on someone else for their own mistakes. If the item was manufactured by a company with no previous history, avoid it until multiple reputable reviews have been made. Don't go by the call of one reviewer as said person may be a shill. This is common sense. As to whether he should take the video down…..absolutely he should. He now knows it to be a fake. To keep the video up would be collusion to commit fraud.

31. Tipster promised to show me his thickness………. i'm still waiting?

32. Fuck Lou

33. How does anyone still unironically watch that hack?

34. Respect to Lou for the direct response. Like an adult…

    But yeah, he's such a bullshit merchant of the lowest order.

35. he could just say: "ITS A SCAM AND I WONT MAKE A WHOLE VIDEO SO NO ONE GETS SCAMMED"
    …
    But ofc he made a video just to make more money

36. Pretty much everything he said made absolutely no sense.

37. In my opinion he seems to be playing dumb. OF COURSE he needs to remove it! Asking that makes me question his honesty about not getting paid for it and it's like he wants to buy time. As a layman on technology, I would 100% think that he was recommending the product.

38. I call bullshit on his “defense”. He was TOTALLY paid to promote the phone. Plus lets not forget this is NOT THE FIRST TIME HE’S BEEN CAUGHT SCAMMING OR PROMOTING SCAMS. Dude is such a piece of shit.

39. throwing some shade there buddy

40. He is a grow man, he should know all of this from the beginning and look out for his viewers that is why they click on this videos. Clearly he does not care as much as he is Con artist looking for a quick cash grab above all else 0/
