Business bros are accusing reviewer Marques Brownlee of “heartlessly” destroying companies following his video on the Humane AI Pin. Is that a fair assessment?

Depends on how "honest" you are, you can sometimes see reviews about stupidly expensive products and they are like "wow the quality is amazing" and they don't go out to say don't buy it, but then they see another expensive product and they go out of their way to convince people not to buy it. If you give advice do it every time or don't do it and just show the product, otherwise it seems fishy.

⁠​⁠@@joeylalonde3458Bad is subjective. Most companies don’t intentionally release bad products. Consumers determine that. Look at Apple products. They make good products overall but look how easy it is for so many people to say how “bad” they are. On the other side of the coin, you can have a company produce new products that are different but because we, as reviewers and consumers, have certain expectations about how something should work or performer, they may come up short, which is the case with this AI pin that Marques reviewed. The best anyone can expect from a product review is that the reviewer will be honest, no matter the outcome. However we take it (agree or disagree) doesn’t necessarily mean the product is actually good or bad.

It should have been tested with the proper hardware at hand before handing out a "not recommended" verdict even if it may seem pointless, because that eliminates any form of bias, whether it's real or imagined. Experience make us biased. The only way to remove the perception of bias is to back it up with data.

Well said Linus. These "other" youtubers who are bashing MKBHD, are hypocrites themselves, because they are getting a lot of attention by putting MKBHD's face in their thumbnails. I noticed this because recently, I've been getting new recommendation in my youtube feeds from these unknown youtubers who capitalizes in using MKBHD, branding him as a bad guy, only to find out that there youtubers are just using Marquez as their clickbate. By the way, Linus, I like the graffiti on your laptop.

There are definitely unethical reviews. Like if, say, a reviewer was sent a product (let's say it's a GPU water block) and they "test" it on a GPU that they knew it wasn't designed for. Then, instead of giving it back to the company, they -sell- sorry, "auction" it off. Because, as we all know, selling someone else's property is totally not okay, but it's completely fine if you auction it.

they did not profit nor intend to profit from auctioning off the block. it was because of an email error billet replied in a different email chain so they never got the address. and heres the kicker, billet said they could keep it and always intended on them keeping the block. it was only after the negative review was released that they decided they wanted the block back, and wanted to be reimbursed for the price of the block and acted as if they were too small of a company to function without that return on investment.

@@wta1518 It is relavent because you're spreading misinformation. Many people constantly parrot that LMG sold off Billet's property, meaning they profited off of it. Every onlooker would see that and think LMG are thiefs. And that is mainstream view many people have because of how it's been simplified. That LMG ruined a company with a bad review and sold off their property. But as far as LMG knew, it WAS their property because the original agreement was always that LMG would keep the block after the video. It was then auctioned off for charity, after Billet already told them they could keep it. Due to a screw up on LMG's side, they never saw the shipping address to send the block back. So the block being auctioned off was because an internal email chain error, and not malice.

Further, that thing was trained using almost slave labour. There's a really good PhilosophyTube episode on that. I said in a previous comment that I went to far and not specified what "AI" am I talking about - im all in for training scientific models for example.

The points he raised from the device being slow and incorrect, and see it as enough grounds to bash such an expensive product. When you're charging 700$ plus a subscription fee you expect a device to do alot more than what a phone can do, that a phone does its job better just paints this device as overpriced garbage. I hate when startup companies adopt nascent technologies with potential, over-hype it with theoretical glamor promises only for the end product falling flat on its face because of shortsighted design flaws; this damages the image of the technology and hampers those with greater vision adopting it and consumers that will come to distrust such products in the future. This is why I often watch review channels before making a big purchase.

I can't accept that there aren't similar players in the tech industry. The fact that LTT take so many steps to demonstrate and prove your independence surely is because you agree there are a lot of bad actors out there.

Honesty in any way shape or form is not of their interest.
