Louis Rossman discuses many design flaws made by Apple over the years throughout their entire catalog.
This video also came out a few days after I praise the Macbook Pro series for being higher quality then their competition as well. 😂 🫣
Quite a shame that the vast majority of people this video is targeted at will just not care. Especially in the US, or the UAE, if your Apple device breaks, you just get another Apple device, because it’s a status symbol.
On the topic of Marques though - I haven’t watched any of his stuff in quite a while, after I’ve had an eye-opened moment from his content. He would scald and roast companies that make mistakes, and make bad choices, but when Apple, or lets say Tesla, make the same mistake, he lets them off the hook. That’s not unbiased journalism at all.
Probably has to suck-up inorder to get products early so his reviews can be viewed first. I wish all of these reviewers would be honest as Steve Burke (GamersNexus).
Being honest isn’t where the money is. Not reaching out towards that takes willpower, and strong principles
This is true of apple as reviewers critical of them are never invited for their events.

No. Apple and most major tech companies are pretty good about giving reviewer samples to anyone with a large enough audience. The only thing that gets you disqualified is breaking the moratorium and releasing your review early.
What conducting softball interviews gets you is more interviews.

That isn’t true, for example LTT doesn’t get seeded Apple products anymore because of what they have said about Apple. NVidia has also been caught revoking early access to products to some outlets because they were unhappy about reporting as well.
As @reddit_sux@lemmy.world stated there are more perks than just earlier reviews.
Sometimes a large company will stop assisting you if you go against their talking points. For example Hardware Unboxed got in trouble for saying, raytracing isn’t as big of a deal as Nvidia is making it and it will remain that way for at least the next few years. Thanks to influence of several big Youtubers (like Steve Burke and Linus Sebastien), Nvidia changed their minds.
Yes! He’s literally done this ever since his first iPhone review. I think it was the iPhone 4s? Somewhere around that time…
I lost interest in that guy on the left the minute he reviewed one of the iPhone’s for the first time, and gave the feature-poor handset this insanely positive review.
He’s a shill. He does great videos, but he’s a shill.

Mbkhd’s studio, talking/narrating skills, editing skills, and skills in explaining tech in simple terms are extremely high quality. He just needs to be more honest about famous companies.
I like this guy. I don’t watch him often, but even 5 minutes in I’m enjoying his thoroughness. We need this in the era of misinformation we’re in today.
I had called out the bullshit about devices being less durable if you make them more repairable on MKBHDs video, but of course it got lost in the comments. Apple just refuses to make the compromises that would allow for durable and repairable devices. Not to mention that a repair being difficult shouldn’t be used for justification for blocking repair or making it impossible/not worth it to get parts.
Every youtube reviewer’s goal is to be popular enough to be a paid shill. It’s money they’re after, not your praises.
And Apple marketing invests a lot in their image in internet discussions. There are lot of shills and a lot of sock-puppets that prop them up. Every marketing company does but go to any popular Apple posts on reddit, hackernews, or Twitter, they just have same pattern.
Why this isn’t obvious is just idk.
I mean, duh? Influencers only get paid if they do and say what the sponsor paying them wants them to do and say. You can, of course, NOT do that, but you won’t get a 2nd check, so the whole job requires you play along with your bosses and do what they want.
There’s not a single really trustworthy influencer type out there that takes sponsor money, and you shouldn’t trust ANY of them to do anything other than what they have to do so they get paid.
