    He gave his honest opinion. The facts he pointed out substantiated the idea that the product was terrible and shouldn't have been launched. The developers were so eager to attract attention at this time, when most AI products are still in development, that they didn't care the product wasn't finished.

      Like imagine the concept was executed perfectly. If the AI was actually perfect and not the flawed slow mess they actually are shipping. It's always listening and knows your voice so you don't even need to press anything and just talk to it like you would a human personal assistant and they could do everything a personal assistant could do with the use of a smartphone or computer, but faster. It doesn't connect to a server and processes everything on the device for both speed and privacy. That software could be done and probably faster with a larger smartphone with more processing power while at the same time the AI being able to pull up visual content on the screen for me to check out that the pin would just suck at. What does their concept have over the same software running on a smartphone and using that directly or with a smartwatch as a terminal?

    Marques said something golden in the Humane pin review - " buy the product for what it is NOW, not on the promises of future updates"
    I didn't follow that wisdom & am stuck with a phone I'm dissatisfied with. And the future updates haven't materialised.

    Marques is right that there aren’t really bad reviews for a good product. I’ve seen CZcams reviewers dislike some features of a product they may fully love otherwise but they almost always follow it up by “if that’s not a big deal to you, you may love this product”

  • @billhadam
    @billhadam Před 13 dny +20

    This is the dumbest question to ask in my opinion. The real question should be, why aren’t these companies making good products!! Companies need to stop prioritizing market share and actually make a good product!! (This will be the downfall of Apple and many other Silicon Valley companies) These companies need to take some responsibility for what they put out and make the product better! They need to stop putting blame on their down fall on other people for their incompetence and lack of awareness

      Because Colin and Samir aren't really honest themselves. Sure they are nice guys, but are marketing puppies for youtubers and the youtube brand. There is something insidious about being real nice and then calling somebody out that has a different opinion or going against the driving narrative of the platform.

      Bruh, this whole hubbub was cause by people watching the review not the company. Humane took all the reviews well but some people apparently couldn't understand a good reviewer has to say it's bad when it's bad and it's good when it's good.

Like I think there's been over 10 now. Crazy to think these huge content creators are still not reaching *everyone* even when it feels like they already do.

    Interesting how no one seems to quote the whole title of the review and discuss the implications of the last two words. To me it's proof that people are trying to see what they want to see as regards Marques and his influence. MrWhosTheBoss has near as many subs as MKBHD and had the same opinions more or less but didn't get near the same pushback as Marques has. I think that should be discussed as it would give some insight as to each reviewers' perceived influence.

    Nobody says Mr. beast is too powerful or the Logan brothers or Casey Neistat. But I have recently heard the question of if these reviewers are too powerful with two very popular Black reviewers - Keith Lee and MLBHD. Why is that? Many movies, food, and technological products are excoriated by large influencers but no one questions their size. So why did you choose to word the question as such? (For reference, I am a 53yo Black woman who watches many channels and I do notice the differences that some creators experience than others.)

    • @har795
      @har795 Před 13 dny +2

      MrBeast, Logan and Jake Paul and Casey Neistat are not reviewers and don't make content around product reviews, like Keith Lee and MKBHD. People have many options for food and tech products why would they want to spend their money on something's that bad. The Humane AI Pin is bad, every single review from CZcamsrs to the press have been critical. MKBHD isn't not an outlier in his assessment, he just has a larger following.

I have always enjoyed watching Marques' videos, so when he mentioned it was the "worst product ever... for now", I wanted to find out why. And now it's in Humane's court to see what they will do with their product, and will they succeed or buckle?

    The trouble - for companies trying to sell you crap - is that a well-thought-out, detailed review, especially when very articulately presented, can really puncture their bubble. The bubble they inhabit when they're actually developing this product, which prevents them from realising it is, at best, a solution in search of a problem. I watched some people from Humane listing the wonderful things their little device could do - and I just kept thinking "already got a phone".

    I remember seeing the marketing for the pin a LONG time before I actually saw the Mkbhd video. If I'm not mistaken, it was marketed toward people in need (the elderly, disabled, immigrants, etc.) and not people who have a bunch of money looking for a new widget to play with. Reviews like his don't damn companies who make great products. These reviews protect people who don't have much from wasting money on products marketed toward them that don't help them.

    The 'Apple' question is very valid. It's not that you can't critize their products, it's that Apple really likes their products portrayed in certain way - or you don't get access to them early. For example they dislike Linus Tech Tips a lot, even though they are fair in their criticism.

    @ybemad Před 12 dny +1

    Marques has grown his reputation based on the quality of his videos and reviews. I think of him as different than an "influencer". His primary mission has been to inform. As long as he can continue to keep to that mission I don't think he needs to "consider the weight" of the publish button. He is not the kind of reviewer that relies on primarily negative content - which people gravitate toward because that's what the algorithm seems to reward with exposure. Emotion sells. He doesn't do that.
