What makes the BetterHelp situation worse is how many CZcamsrs I still see who take them as sponsors.
examples?

@@grozaphy most of the psychology and philosophy type youtubers
I think Anthony Padilla still gets sponsored by them.@@grozaphy

“If you subscribe to this channel, you are an instant 10” is a wild thing to say when the context of that number is a 10/10 failure
And it hurts even more if you have siblings 😬
I meam I'm already a failure I might as well be a high rated one
Why does every single person on the internet have low self esteem 😭
@@vreikezen8268Unrealistic standards combined with lack of social interaction, which takes away the ability to tell what's normal, and what is ugly.
That's what I thought are you calling me garbage lol
I personally think the BetterHelp case is a perfect 10.
It's dirty, it's outrageous and it shows how cheaply the tech which revolves around you treats you with minimal consequences.
Amen to that. That was my thought from the moment I heard about it
"cheaper, more affordable" ...? lol
He got sponsored by them?
Yeah but taking a swipe at Elon and free speach"feels better"
There's no dignity; just *money*
Your therapist selling your information to advertisers sounds like something you’d see in a black mirror episode
Wait until you learn how cops getting body cams was actually a marketing ploy by the people who made those body cams, and also made tasers. After George Floyd, most people realized actually trusting cops to film themselves just doesn't work.
We have been living in a black mirror episode for some time now.
Props to Arun for including casetify even when he's had a record of having them as sponsors numerous times.
Dude has integrity. There is a reason why his subscriber base has more than tripled in the last 5 years.
Yeah
Yeah
Yh well he had them as sponsors before they were exposed so he didn't know
@@j.p.obregon1415 I think he's still sponsored by Anker, even though they have no respect for privacy and have been caught red handed
Man that coolest cooler looks legit too bad the product got ruined by the greed of the owner that would have probably been a major innovation for every outdoor party
Fr, I would have got one
@@brundle_fly_3895 yeah most people probably would have but sadly it just wasnt meant to be ig :(
The original design even had a removable Bluetooth speaker built into the front.
Either that, or the owner was not willing to place the manufacturing order for 62k, was looking to increase volume to actually deliver it at promised prices.
Rookie move if true, and killed the product.
@@brundle_fly_3895 As someone who did back it but never actually got delivered, I doubt you would have gotten it. xD
Bro put Twitter first but didn’t say a thing about Threads which managed to die in less than 1 month lol
Meh that's a big overreaction. It hasn't died at all. It will likely fade away in the near future but let's not lie it's still not even at that stage where users are dropping off rapidly.
everyone saw that coming so i don't think it was enough to deserve a section compared to metya's other fails
Thread was not in the position to replace Twitter. With no EU (and yes that is relevant) rollout it was dead in the water.
Threads is alive and well man, what is bro yapping about
Threads died from nothing, Twitter dropped 40 billion dollars in value in less than a year, that is the bigger fail
11:37 - To quote Alex Blechman:
Sci-Fi Author: In my book, I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale.
Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from the classic sci-fi novel 'Don't Create The Torment Nexus'.
People need to do their own research before they do anything
I will do a push up for every like this comment gets…

Ur about to become jacked
My G is capping his ass off

The coolest cooler could’ve actually been something my family relatives would’ve gotten. Such a shame and shady thing from a CEO to ruined it with greed.
Who wouldn't get it ?
It's almost baffling. The only justification I can imagine is that the CEO already reinvested all the money received and couldn't have fulfilled the orders at that time, but it's insane that they wouldn't have actually budgeted for their first orders, and it's wild that the first inclination is to lie about adding features for anyone else's benefit.
Nah, I don't think he was greedy, I think he was just over his head. There is a massive difference between selling 500 to 1.5k units in a month and selling 62k units all at once. If he would have taken down the kickstarter after getting 10k orders, he probably would still be in business.
So true, if it were real I would have bought one
You seriously don't know what are you even talking about, that's greedy, pure pure greediness @@eddiek6390
Ticketmaster caused such a stink in Australia it almost directly led to about half a dozen smaller sites to sell tickets. The Melbourne International Comedy Festival used to force everyone to use it not just lets people use their own.
The issue is that ticketmaster is part of live nation and live nation owns a lot of venues and have agreements with many others. They force you to sell exclusively in ticketmaster if you want access to those venues.
Betterhelp and Facebook collab takes me back to Cambridge Analytica times. We are living in a true dystopia thanks to them.
Something else worth mentioning about Betterhelp is some of the counselors didn't even have the credentials to be practicing.
I suspected that
When he brought up better help I imagines he was gonna mention this. And some of the terrible experiences some people have had. But I guess they're somehow worse than I thought
Honestly, this deserved a 10/10 Compromising sensitive information regarding mental health for ad revenue is downright deplorable.
Is it like castify
And CZcamsrs are still accepting sponsorships from them
In my opinion better help should be top 1, asking people personal questions just to sell them more products with their own private data is just disgusting and cruel to people who are struggling.
Yes I agree. The situation at X is still unfolding and when you have a shake up on that scale, it takes years for it to settle. BetterHelp by design is scummy. It targets the most vulnerable of all ages in their most desperate state and data mines them. I have dealt with mental health issues most my life, and the amount of lowlifes that try to scam this community is atrocious and can lead to people harming themselves. Compare that to Elon being an edgelord and some mean tweets, and a bunch of developers that were WAY overpaid for doing nothing compared to other developers in other spaces, you can see why I agree with you.
It is morally abhorrent but it hasn't killed the company so far unlike some of the other stuff on this list, so he's probably going by that criteria
But even if better help wasn’t doing what they did it’s clear digital therapy are not going to fix the current mental health crisis because their not dealing with the underlining issue, they can’t suddenly hire more clinicians, if not enough exist
@sytherwusky is that what you want to believe
Death battle also takes spnonsorships from them
Am surprised Arun didn't mention Threads as a fail but mentioned X as the top fail 😂😂
What an amazing review indeed! 30:16

1 thing I wanted to add for marvel is not only is it the burn out from so much content that is basically essential by this point but also the quality of that content. We still love shows like loki, having it be one of the most highest rated shows that has been produced by Marvel past endgame but it also really stands out when compared to many other shows like She-Hulk, Thor love and Thunder, Secret Invasion, Eternals, etc etc.
FINALLY! This is my absolute favorite series on this channel. So much stupidity, not NEARLY enough time...
me too
We need more of this
Yep
and at the end bro asks everyone to install opera.... lol...

Zune wasn't a tech fail, it was a branding fail. The device itself was freaking awesome and the software was ahead of its time.
100% true. My Zune was my absolute favorite device but whje I went to buy items to connect to my car, all I could find was iPod connections and then my car I bought had iPod hookup
Same as Windows Phones, amazing concept and they were beautiful devices, it's just that Microsoft didn't pay on the app store situation attention quick enough to Allow people to shift to those phones
I had a zune 30g that I literally dropped down multiple flights of marble stairs and ran over with a car. It's screen never cracked and still worked great. Basically everyone I knew with an ipod had a cracked screen.
@@bhuvandeep1219Windows Phone still hurts my heart! I loved my Nokia Lumia 920 Windows Phone, it looked so much better than most other smartphones that were out at that time and had a unique UI with that cool tile interface, but THERE WERE NO APPS ON IT 😩 I held on to that phone for far too long, but at a certain point when you realise you can’t use any of the apps that everyone else is using, the FOMO eventually wins and I ended up just getting a Samsung phone 😢
Proves that having a superior product at a superior price compared to other competitors doesn't automatically equal success.
I love the way you start your videos with full energy which at the same time it gets people into a wonderful mood keep up the good work
25:30 - Of course Bob Iger is going to blame the decline of the Marvel universe on "Diluting Audience's focus and attention" no company is actually going to come out and say, "Yeah, the truth is we've just hired really crappy writers and the movies suck now."
Glad to see someone as big as you talking about Betterhelp, it didn't help when other large youtubers out there were ignorant about the malpractice and taking sponsorships to shill them out to people who might actually need help.
its so weird to take money to shill out a service that is supposedly for mental health issues that the youtubers themselves have never used
@@SangheiliSpecOp Well, they probably thought they were doing some good
Every time I see a Betterhelp sponsor it feels sus. The internet is a place for paranoia, not a place to be vulnerable.
j
The BetterHelp one should definitely be top of the list. It's sad how many large influencers they sponsor despite their shady information selling tactics. Stellar video as always!
That’s crazy..I remember those loop bracelets being given to us for free at our schools indigenous appreciation day. I never realised they were some super “weight loss” cure 😂 we were 8 when we got them. Crazy.
I question "indigenous appreciation day". Why is that even necessary??
@@jimroscovius Not sure you want to start that conversation! I am on your side, but I can't see it ending well.
You know we're digging in shit when the first item is a *real life microtransaction*
Seeing Better Help in that list with the given rating was the biggest shock ever 🤯, I've seen their sponsorship/ad in literally every known CZcams channel !! Yet in reality they were running this shitty business of selling the most vulnerable people's most personal data to other companies 🤦🏻😤😤😤 UNBELIEVABLE !!!
It is what it is
@@assassin8636it shouldn’t be
Never believe anyone who know you are vulnerable in some way. That's why never share these kinds of things with anyone even with most of your real-life friends, let alone on the internet.
I know sometimes it's hard to tackle the situation, you feel alone and depressed, but you have to fight alone because people will make your situation 100 times worse.
And opera is being exposed right now… how the turntables

I one of those people that like the Zune in fact i got a Zune 30 before eventually switching to a ipod classic because my mum gave me one for my birthday.I still held on to my Zune because of nostalgic reasons and its great ui design. 😀
Surprised to see DashButtons in this list. I think it was brilliant idea and I would love to have them in my house. They could just modify it a bit so instead of sending items to you directly, they will be placed in your shopping bag. It would make everyone happy and avoid many issues.
Props to Arun for turning his filming set and back garden into a landfill for one video
well he did put *props*
@@chillcorner4ever quite literally.
29:00 WHAT THE HELL OH MY GOD!!
I love my Zune! also it was not exactly a "carbon copy" of the Ipod video it accepted way more file formats and you can load files into it without having to use Itunes. (or even microsoft zune's software) Also Zune would do way better at reading the meta data of your music and it would have the artist/ song title and even the album art and have everthing sorted in it's appropriate albums seamlessly without the user having to manually do any of that! No more endless lists of "artist unknown" and "untitled" it was actually a better user experience! But all the media could focus on is "this is a ipod copycat how original hur dur!
I had the later model Zune and loved it, might still have it somewhere. And their model of getting to keep X number of songs a month was great too. The UI and all were much better in my opinion than other music players.
Damn, the cooler one actually seemed pretty cool. It just sucks that people have no chill...
nice pun
Or rather the company had no chill.
Thats cold
And now we snow what happened
IMO i think the company tried their best because they had to fufill like 60k+ orders in around the same time which is near impossible for a starting up company.@@letcreate123

Opera is owned by a Chinese company that used to be a loan shark. They sell your data to advertisers, as if most websites didn't do that enough. Huge L.
When the Metaverse was announced, I was scared that it would create some Black Mirror dystopia. Im glad it failed
Love these videos. This channel gives you a reality check time to time.

This is the only man who can talk about companies like this and still have them collaborate with him.
True
Twitter was months away from bankruptcy before Elon took over. I don't get the 10/10 fail. I can sense a huge bias.

Zune HD was my first AMOLED device, and the UI was one of my favorite things ever.
Ok, I had some Amazon Dash Buttons and loved them!
While “Subscribe and Save” is good for things that you use very regularly (like I know I need 30 dishwasher pods per month since I run it every night). But for things that I order frequently but not on a consistent schedule, like paper towels or toilet paper, it was great. I had the button mounted in the cabinet where I stored extras. When I grabbed the last roll, I just hit the button.
Love how a company literally gouging, stealing and cheating customers out of money is not as bad as companies that make stupid decisions.
Ticketmaster has earned top spot on any list, so anyone above them should be really horrible. And this list misses the mark for that.
@@paulm6737I think it's revenue and over company state, Ticketmaster didn't loose money but are getting investigated while Twitter lost half it's worth making it the worst purchase.
Betterhelp is worse. Save for the fact that it doesn't have a monopoly so people can just go elsewhere.
I think they weight it as, those are almost just more scam artists as usual. Whereas the BIG companies are supposed to already be reasonably well off, so they just have to NOT do stupid things and they should have been, sort of ok. Admittedly I don't know what the real financial situation of Facebook and Twitter are, or were. I imagine the fact that they make their money based on ads means it's always a weird balance of privacy and intrusiveness, and actually serving relevant ads. I get the impression a lot of the lower quality ads are also straight up scams, if not full on viruses for some of the weirder apps.
Ticketmaster is a small company that only makes $16.7 billion per year. Facebook and Twitter would cower to the liberal justice department and would silence anyone the government claimed to be supplying misinformation. Like the Hunter laptop, Russian disinformation, COVID coming from China and more. X does not bend as easily and is attempting to make the platform less restrictive on free speech. @@EricLing64
I really like how Arun puts sponsor breaks after delivering all the content he had planned, instead of having it as an interruption in between the video, which a lotta other creators still do. This allows him to deliver us the content we love while also giving the sponsors their rightful mention
I completely disagree, destroy a good Video by their part for putting the advertising at the end where the ecstasy is high waiting for another "fail" but from my perspective the fail it was theirs, 10/10 fail on Aruns' part. (Of course, everyone has their own opinion 😁)
This is the way
@@burnsZY85I’d assume a lot of CZcamsrs don’t do this because then it’s easier to just close the video and ignore the sponsor
@@JMPolteRit is clearly labeled as an ad, he marks the twitter fail as number 1 (so you understand that there is nothing after it), and you clearly note that the sponsored intro is different.
@@JMPolteRn i g ga, I went to your reply history and you harass a ton of people for expressing their opinion
"But if you subscribe to this channel, then you are an instant 10"
Does that mean I'm a 10/10 Failure 😂😂
8:16 Well done, Aron, for supporting JerryRigEverything about the casetify rip off.
17:03 Fun fact : The Zune had WiFi & everyone thought it was for the music streaming services but it was actually for sharing songs form one Zune to another & Microsoft actually nicknamed it to “Squirting”
I loved my zune back in the day I don’t know why I just enjoyed it
Zune pass was great. Also super easy to rip the .wma files which was a plus.
I can assure everyone it was before that word changed meaning
No it wasn't called squirting ffs
It was not called squirting, that's a fan-made term.
I remember power balance being on shark tank, and Mark Cuban immediately calling them out as a scam 😂
That scam is just sad... it seems fraudulent companies will never stop exploiting the average person's ignorance of science and common sense. Snake oil salesmen - and so many more like them still out there.
But they look so cool and the placebo effect was LEGIT 😭 morally it’s wrong but in practice, they got the job done in style 👌🏾
It is amazing to me that in this day and age there are so many people who could fall for such an obvious scam. Maybe in like 1861 I could see people falling for a "Magic power bracelet that revitalizes the body and mind" but in current times it is astonishing that people can be so easily scammed.
People will be proudly Atheist, claim to only believe in Facts and Science instead of magic....and then buy stuff like Power Balance bracelets

Regarding Twitter, a friend of mine, who's a content creator gets impersonated by other people, but in a very obvious way. Now, even after reporting the person impersonating multiple Times, Twitter always said "We can't find any case of impersonating..."

The standout feature that Zune had that was way ahead of its time was a subscription music service long before Spotify, Apple Music, or CZcams Music. With the iPod, you had to pay for each song on iTunes while the Zune provided an all-you-can-listen approach that every big player in the industry does now.
Yes but their marketing department sucked
Yes and zune also allowed you to drag and drop mp3 onto it like a usb drive instead of how stupid ipod forces you to use itunes to convert the mp3 files
Zune was atually really good. If they stuck around long enough till I could afford one I would have purchased a zune.
I still have mine and it still works
The other thing that made Zune stand out is you could access the music catalog directly from the device. Downloading music from places other than home was so cool!
Talking about BetterHelp, a well-known CZcams sponsor, selling your data and then getting sponsored by Opera. In the same video. What a plot twist.
Lol
Yeah, pisses me off too. Quite hypocritical to get sponsored by them while complaining about the exact thing Opera does to customers.
@@xPandamon"exact thing" doesn't feel like an accurate statement to me. I don't believe Opera markets itself as an alternative to medical services by trained professionals.

29:00 Holy shit, that's the most BIZARRE thing i've ever seen in existance 😂
How the hell did you say "check this out" and then did THIS?! What was Mr.Lizard thinking?! 🤣
The Zune was actually pretty good and deserved better. Sure it was "just another iPod", but it was one of like 3 that had enough storage to hold your entire library, and one of only 2 with a non-garbage UI. That should've been a whole vibrant product category and instead all we got was the ipod and a bunch of sandisk clip type players that weren't meant for much more than a workout playlist.
I loved my Zune. Yo, wanna trade songs?
I loved mine!
I loved my zune as well! I’m sure it’s sitting in my old electronics somewhere in my house
Zune was years ahead in raw sound quality over any Ipod. It could've been really the audiophine choice for playinf flac music if only Microsoft didn't force everyone to use the awefull sync app.
I loved my Zune! RIP!

I have not seen their she hulk, Ms Marvel series and I don't want to. I was marvel's fan but not anymore.
one thing you mention about Twitter and i totally agree with the fact that free speech comes with less moderation, so most people can say whatever they want
I think the way you convinced people to subscribe is a 10/10, saying that if the person subscribes they are the biggest fail.
The Coolest cooler really didn't deserve to go out like that, it had so much potential. Hope it gets revitalised or some good alternatives come around
Over the years there have been quite a few similar coolers made by various companies. Most of which fall into the "here's a cool idea, but lets overprice it" so initially they get good sales but then people realise that all they really need in a cooler, is a something that keeps their stuff cool.
Yeah it's honestly quite sad that if the creator wasn't greedy he could have gotten it listed on Amazon at a later date probably then made an absolute killing with how well it would have sold.
@@badaxe9779Coolers also get old and damaged so spending a lot of money on one isn't the best ('a lot' is relative, of course).
@@WyattOSheaQuite likely he had a bunch of debt which couldn't be cleared by shipping them out to people who had already paid for them. Robbing Peter to pay Paul is always a big red flag.

I remember seeing those Betterhelp ads, finding them sketchy AF (and subsequently skipping past) and I am happy to find my suspicions validated, but sad for all the people who got screwed over.
I've also heard countless stories of some of their "therapists" being unqualified or of dubious accreditation. Very dodgy platform.
yeah, its a really fucked up thing to do to pray on the insecurities of people seeking therapy for monetary gain
The amount of shady sponsorships you see on CZcams is concerning, a lot of them turn out to be scams or make false claims, especially a group of them from the same broader company including “Established Titles” and “Kamikoto Knives”. Yes CZcamsrs just want money but they should do at least a little research into the companies they are sponsored by. The whole “I didn’t know” shouldn’t be a valid excuse, this is something they are promoting to their audience, to get their audience to buy whatever it is, they should have done at least a little research into the companies first. They need to start taking responsibility for the companies they promote.
Better help is probably the worst case of this, if it is a scam product then all you lose is money and feel pretty stupid but trusting a site with personal information for them to just lie and sell it is especially scummy.
33:02 do bro seriously put his sponsor in the biggest tech fails vid😂😂😂
The best thing about the Metaverse: Getting a subsidized, affordable Quest 3 with pretty good specs but not having to actually take part in any Metaverse BS. I just play Beat Saber and Pistol Whip and frankly I prefer it over PCVR.
"if you subscribe you're an instant 10", dude forgot what he was rating in this video 😂
When you said betterhelp i started skipping thinking it was an add hahaha
The zune was actually really good, they just decided supporting their existing music drm service was a bad idea, so they made a new zune store, and nobody wanted to use it, so it failed.
Regarding the while metaverse topic. The meta implementation if social vr apps failed horribly as you mentioned. But third party social vr spaces like vrchat are flourishing. Meta has the current vr hardware monopoly with 60% of all active vr headsets being either quest 2 or quest 3. They are playing the long game and already established themselves as the main consumer vr headset manufacturer
Bro really gave Twitter/X a 10 when it's apparently turning the corner on profitability, and didn't mention the Tumblr fiasco which nearly bankrupted Yahoo. 💀
Better Help is TERRIBLE. Not only with this whole selling data thing, but the thing thing as a whole is bad. I want there to be something for people to get better therapy, but there are so many stories of how bad the therapists are who may or may not even be licensed despite the site claiming they are. Im glad to hear someone talking about it and I wish more youtubers would.
I am not even necessarily a pool party kind of person, but The Coolest Cooler looks like smth I would genuinly buy for the rare times I get together with my family at a campfire, or could go out with friends to drink near the local river.
It looks like an actually well-made and well thought-out product that was basically killed by the CEO being either dumb or greedy. I just hope that I can find it somewhere.
I loved my 2nd or 3rd gen Zune (whichever the touch screen one was). It had the amazing benefit to not HAVE TO use apple music app for audio files. That's precisely why there was a market for it, for people that weren't one of the sheep in the herd.
To me, BetterHelp preying on people in such a vulnerable state and selling them out to Facebook makes them a worse tech fail in my eyes than your top 3 combined regardless of the loss valuations.
I find it absolutely horrible I lost a family member in 2021 and I was suffering from grief for like 2 years and I went to a therapist I’m better now I hope better crumbles to the ground
The Amazon dash button actually can be useful for things other than ordering items from Amazon. It can be used with IFTTT to trigger custom actions. I used one next to our cat litter box, I set it up to record that the litter was cleaned when pressed, and then to send me a text reminding me to clean the litter if the button hasnt been pressed in the last 5 days.
You can get a litter robot and use ifttt to have your roomba clean the litter off the floor after the litter box cycle.

If I may also add some extra information about the meta fail, but not only did their metaverse fail to provide some basics that other games already have, but they buy more and mure game studios only to hinder their creativity and then shut them down. Which, in return, means that there is less and less reason to even invest into VR and in return hurts them more in the long run
I think with Marvel, disney as a whole has taken such a big L this year. Also, mentioning how they took ads from Twitter but doubled down on Meta, which are currently in a lawsuit involving child endangerment, Disney hasn't taken ads off their platform. They're hypocrites.
no marvell fail due overly political correctness and no gives a shit about the absolute garbage they made
Says there is a reply to this comment but when I click to see the reply there is nothing. Why?
Is this like FB hiding comments or replies they don't like?
@nbookie I noticed that too. It's probably comments that youtube considers "inappropriate" and is probably hiding it or held for review.
@therealventures This shit has been happening for decades, and every social media platform does this
I think they should look too fan generated content for inspiration
I friggin' loved my Zune idc what anyone says, it was a tank and very reliable and sounded honestly great.
The Zune was fantastic - and the desktop software was leagues ahead of iTunes.
It was a tank with a hole in it.
I had a zune and I actually quite enjoyed it, grwat for the bus when I was in highschool, I have always hated apple products for proprietary cords, and things like Itunes and basically just everything to do with their OS, but yeah I loved my zune.
Man, that cooler box was really nice... such a shame that it had to be discontinued 🤦🏾♂️
The betterhelp fail was something I didn't even realize until now. That's so messed up
5:33 what a great story of how greed can genuinely ruin a potentially great legacy
It always feels like a missed opportunity when tech CZcamsrs and journalists talk about the failure of Meta’s Horizon Worlds without mentioning VRChat. That thing is everything that Horizon Worlds wishes it was. (legs included lol)
for the marvel one, they got a new leader dude who wanted quantity rather than quality. recently they got a different one who has quality over quantity in mind.
I don't have enough words to describe the good things about this content
Ikr!!! ❤
16:49, did you called us 10/10 failure 😂
crazy thing about the power bands was some were sold as emitting positive energy and it turned out they were pretty radioactive
Don't knock the Dash scanner or the Dash buttons. I LOVED using it. Basically tied it to toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags.
16:44 you basically said I'm an instant 10/10 garbage tech fail if I subscribed... DONE
💀💀💀
Love how if we are subscribed we are considered a 10/10 fail!
hhhh never saw it coming...
exactly what I was thinking
A few years ago, I had to write a school report about an upcoming technology and its uses, and I chose the metaverse. Thank goodness my teacher couldn’t see the future.
Zune was fantastic and you can't convince me otherwise
I used to want a Zune so badly, but instead I had an even more bootleg off-brand MP3 player than came loaded with three episodes of The Simpsons in the crisp resolution of 144p. Still kind of a shame to see devices dedicated to one function fall by the wayside, even with the convenience of my smartphone I do still miss camcorders and MP3 players and everything else.
I was one of the few who bought one, and our boy here is exactly right. I bought it because I wanted a good MP3 player without Apple involvement.
Hey man, I still use my mp3 music player from 2009, it's a small USB stick, with 8 gigs of storage
I listen to all my music on that because it just holds so much value to me, with the memories as well
The Zune was better than the iPod; I don't care what anyone says - it was a fantastic device, and the desktop software was leagues beyond iTunes.
@@raven2785what made you not want to be involved with Apple back then?/gen
@@Killer1984able Even now you mean, since I remain staunchly anti-Apple. I just dislike the company as a whole. The pretentiousness, the Steve Jobs cult of personality, the potential child labor/slave labor thing that has always hung over the manufacturing plants in China, etc. I just hate the company.
And while I may be just a hater, I'm not against their products per se. I am 100% behind anyone who says that the iPhone changed the world. And before that that the iPod changed the world. And I'm not surprised that now at the end of the year, The Best Phone of The Year awards are going to the iPhone. It's an amazing device.
But everything else Apple can die in a fire as far as I'm concerned.
One of the most enjoyable CZcams videos I've seen in a while, nice work! As a hardcore VR user it boggles my mind that Meta can waste so much money and come up with such a bad looking product as the metaverse.
Well, not really.
They wanted to own everything about it, whilst developing it from scratch, which is basically next to impossible, in the time frame they had in mind.
Imagine if Star Citizen needed to develop a game engine from scratch, and implement all of the "never before seen" improvements?!
Our great grandchildren would probably be playing the alpha, or in other words, it would take 3 to 5 times as long to get (maybe close) to where it is today.
Imagine still thinking that the Horizon Worlds apps is the metaverse lol
They got legs now lol and getting better. Best the vr Experience is p c v r and play station five! But they are the best standalone Pico do not make a fifth one
@@MJ-92but star citizen did develope a game engine from scratch and that's why it IS still a beta
Yeah it is turning a corner with the q3 and the fact that Apple and samsung are getting into the game I feel like Microsoft will eventually make all there vr stuff in the gamepass app in meta quest and that will also boost it "oh have an Xbox oh now you can connect them" I see it oh and as far as being empty it's like going out to any other social enviorment people aren't always there sometimes there doing other things but going to worlds were there are more random people finding friends and splitting off into direct events always seems to work when there's nothing to do or getting to know 18 plus places in hw and vrc
3:03 what’s even better is that it wasn’t even an off season April fools joke. It was literally announced on April 1, 2015 and people at first thought it was an actual April fools joke.
On the topic of the MCU, a big problem for Disney has been budget bloat on their films through a combination of producers attaching their names to projects, and then not really contributing, and the fact that production is relying heavily on very expensive post production to compensate for a lack of well thought out pre-production.
It turns out, constantly re-rendering CGI scenes because the director can't understand the shot composition without all of the effects and lighting . . . Is really really expensive.
It used to be that pre-production was the cure to this. Complicated, expensive, shots, were carefully planned out and visualized well in advanced so that effects crews, in particular the old school physical effects crews, thoroughly understood what the shot was going to be like and how they were going to pull it off.
The director might not get EXACTLY what they wanted, but it would be good enough to make it work, because hundreds of talented people had a blue print of what they were working towards. We don't do that anymore.
To use Quantamania as an example, if the movie was made on a reasonable budget, 473 million would have be respectable box office pull. Adjust for inflation it would be about 10 percent less than what Batman Begins Made on its worldwide release.
when i saw better help on the list i genuinely thought it was a sponsored video, didn't knew this was happening,
in love with these type of content!
