    That mock trailer was expertly crafted, especially since I've seen most of the actual reviews they came from. Props to the editor for cementing exactly how opinions can not just be guided, but straight up misled with some simple editing tricks and restrictions. It's really important to use reviews as a supplementary opinion, but to think for yourself and do your own research and even personal testing in person.

    What you are sharing boils down to trust. A short story from a different angle: I was an engineer for a start-up back in 2001. We had a box that supported all types of traffic over the Internet using Asynchronous Transfer Mode--a popular backbone transport back then. I flew to Dallas to do a "bake off" with the top five competitors and came out on top (and not by a small margin either). These tests were performed in front of a top magazine writer and one other person operating the test gear. I was soon on the phone with our Marketing lead after the published article had pronounced the #2 competitor as the winner. I fell out of my chair when the writer unabashedly admitted that a steak dinner and small gifts, among other things, was all we had needed to garner his favor. Had I not heard it with my own ears, I would have assumed that someone had simply had sour grapes with the outcome. Were you in the telecom biz back then and I told you the name of the magazine, it would put you in your seat. Since then I have been very skeptical about all technology rags.

      I really love one who is being honest when reviewing certain products of a company for viewers or customer's sake. And it does help the company to improve on their weak point. Any way, companies do such positive promotions for a good reason to their own companies. They even don't like one to speak bad about their products on the certain part it can't perform better. So they try by coaching the CZcamsrs who gonna review that specific product on what to to tell the viewers and focus most.
      That's kind of not being honest with the client. Anyway, that's normal game they play with us but we know too

  • @LironSegev

    Awesome breakdown. There is one more factor: Micro-Influencers. While it's great that brands are including smaller creators, micro-influencers tend to be super enthusiastic about products from big brands and they tend to do multiple videos which usually lean on the positive side. The brand gets a flood of content across a sustained period of time and the creator gets the views. This is especially true if it's a paid-for collaboration.

      But for games, if the actual product ends up trash and not live up to the hype, the brand gets absolutely destroyed. No matter how "out of context" they take the quotes.
      Like what happened with CD Project Red's Cyberpunk 2077. More than 10 years of work, and today, its nothing more than a major source of meme materials.
      Tech companies shield themselves by releasing multiple ultra, max, lite, pro, note and what not, at once. People get confused what's what, and the complaints sort of fades away...

    I love this video! It's time these things were said. I just wish you guys would've gone a step further, by agreeing that you would no longer abide by or agree to manufacturer terms that set the stage for consumers being misled. For example, if you believe that a phone is an incredible piece of hardware, but already know the software is crap, please don't make a video hyping us up on the hardware. A lot of us will go out and preorder based on those initial seemingly positive reviews. Or at a bare minimum, give us STRONG warnings to not buy yet, and wait until the second video drops so we can get the full picture. Unless some of you big dogs start taking a stand, these abusive practices will just continue and grow.

    Wow. I never knew about this. This is the level of honesty we expect from CZcamsrs! I mean I honestly never realised all of this... it's made me realise how we really can't trust anything we hear on the internet without looking into it... and it's quite terrifying how these big tech companies are manipulating people... I guess it's become so normalised now that not many people realise the truth about this.

      Second that. I've seen automobile magazines have 'long-term' reviews that talk about failures of components, how the manufacturer handled the repair etc., after using it for a while, supplementing their actual 'road-test' because there's only so much you could say from driving a car for just a few days.
      Likewise, would like to see long-term and ownership-experience focussed reviews which, say, talks about charging / battery drain issues, how a brand makes processing warranty easy or hard (go undercover, absolutely don't reveal it's either of you) - that way user get a 360° view of the device ownership (or at least the brand) to make better decisions.
      Currently, reddit is the source of such experiences / rants. But such reviews from you guys adds more credibility to the claims.

    I love how authentic marques and Arun really are in all their videos. They really show us what is really going behind the scenes when a product launches.

    This is the most subtle way to call them out.
    I do hope this trend stops rather than evolve because all viewers/consumers want is the full truth and not deliberately omitted information.
    Thanks guys for using your voices to the advantage of the consumers notwithstanding.👍

      I am not sure about UT being biased. However, I felt that even some irrelevant products that UT reviews, he creates a 15-20 min video and all praises for that product. And his videos are like drama tele series. Thats why I stopped watching UT.
