hi i don't really know how to structure this but i had this on my mind for a very long time here we go:
1: (the reviews are shallow) i just finished watching mkbhd's video on the s20 ultra(just using him as an example these things apply to most other popular creators). i found his review extremely shallow even though the review is almost 20 minutes.(almost all his reviews are like this) he only went through points which most people knew about, the first 5 minutes was just fluff and d brand sponsorship
2: (the lack of criticism) the s20 ultra cost $1,400, instead of challenging why this phone cost so much, all mkbhd says this has all the specs, but that doesn't justify such a huge price increase, samsung is charging so much yet the phone will only get 2 year software support, this phone such a bad value for money yet that does not factor into the review
they don't purchase the phone with there own money, which can completely change the way you view a product( i don't expect them to start buying phones, but i do expect these biases to be taken in consideration when doing reviews
all the tech youtubers are afraid to criticise tech companies because if they do they wont receive review units in the future(they will throw a little jab here and there that's it)
3:(style over substance) the production quality is so so high yet the actual review is dogshit, mkbhd has being saying for years how he is going to improves his reviews, the only thing that improved is the gear he uses over the years, the actual reviews have stayed the same
tldr: youtubers are just glorified marketers for the companies
