I'm mind-blown by the fact they got so much funding for such an inherently flawed concept. 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?

I have always bought smartphones based on Marques's reviews & never regretted my purchases. The one time when I didn't heed his review & went ahead was with the Nothing phone 2. 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. At the same time time as MKBHD's review, another very well known reviewer praised the NP2 to the skies! I've learnt to respect honest reviewers like Marques even more, there are so few of them.

I like how Mrwhoosetheboss also released a negative review about the same product a few days ago. 2 mil views vs mkbhd's 4 mil but a lot of that was from this controversy. Bascially Mrwhoosetheboss doesnt have that much less reach than mkbhd but only Marques is getting blow back 😂

These independent and unbiased reviews are so important for the customers. They balance out those sponsored reviews and ads. I often find it hard to trust reviews because a lot of companies pay reviewers to only produce positive reviews.

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.

I would listen to MKBHD review anything, even though he has a clear niche that he is tremendous at. Honesty is the best currency. And he is extremely economical and thoughtful with his commentary.

I review products, but, obvs, not on the scale of Marques, but one interesting thing that I note is that my negative reviews always have lower CTR and retention, than positive ones. This is something I think about quite a bit, and I try very hard to make it a useful video for people whilst doing the PSA type work that MKBHD talks about. It's very interesting to me what you say that as a reviewer "trust is your product." Thanks for defining something that I have been thinking through for some time. ;-) Great content as usual.

Why forgetting "for now" in the title in the title discussion.. the "for now" gives context about how he sees the glimpse that it might be up to something..
@paulbuckingham4676 23 күн бұрын
Absolutely, this post/interview was well balanced but it did leave that vital bit off their "critique". After all it focussed mainly on title impact but they didn't fully cover those two vital extra words. - rightly placed at the end as a sort, "let's be kind, patient and wait see"

MKBHD at this point is much more than a KZfaqr. he's become a "figure" or rather "An authority" and Kudos to him for sticking to quality, seriousness, integrity and honesty. I'm interested to see where this power he has accumulated takes him.

I think you guys made a great point about consistency. And Marques has always been consistant. Even with his Auto Focus channel he aims for all the same deliverables that people are looking for, but does it in a fashion that everyone can understand. 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?
@yoda-sensei 28 күн бұрын
I get why Marques is the Goat for tech reviews, but I've seen MrWhoseTheBoss review one day earlier than MKBHD and it has almost 2M views too. It was also negative .... they have approximately the same number of subscribers... and MrWhoseTheBoss had also the creators of the pin in the video... So why is MKBHD's video so much more impactful? I genuinely want to understand ...
@ezydoesit993 28 күн бұрын
i think is because MrWhoseTheBoss is a bit likethe buzzfeed of reviews, with some videos in which he buys random silly stuff, Marques on the other had is always serious.

This is the first time I've seen anything from your podcast. And I did really enjoy it. As far as Marquez, I subscribe to all of his podcasts and channels. I do feel a sense of realism about his reviews. In fact I send him questions on products I may buy to see what his opinion is good or bad. I don't agree on all of his tech reviews I still may or may not purchase. He just seems more Raw in his thoughts on different products. I myself am a GenX I turn 50 in June. But when it comes to New technologies he's one of the best ones in my opinion. I use to really enjoy Austin Evans cause I know him personally because we're both from Kansas City Missouri. I knew him prior to becoming a KZfaq sensation. I also really enjoyed James Morrison but since his unfortunate Eye issues he's rarely doing videos. Which is sad in my opinion. I have gone ahead and subscribed to your channel. I'll give it a shot.
