It is relevant only insofar that if you rely on youtube reviews for stuff you buy, maybe don't click on LTT videos any more.
But that's not exactly new advise, more from like... 10 years ago or so 😂. Still, they did a really bad thing here.
Yeah just YouTube tech reviewer drama. Who cares lol
> Media Company loaned $10k prototype from startup
> Media Company gives scathing review of product after knowingly using it incorrectly
> Media Company also auctions off prototype instead of returning it, now startup cannot continue product development
> Other Media Company calls out first Media Company for irresponsible conduct
> "TeCh ReViEwEr DrAmA"
Is it just drama for consumers to be aware of the potential risks when purchasing something? Do I just love drama if I write a bad review for a bad product?
The point of Gamer's Nexus is to review shit.
Reddit moment.
You don't have to idolize someone to buy something they recommend
I love how you care so little that you came here to argue with people about it lol
I have never purchased anything from YouTube reviews, I don't even buy computer parts
If you actually didn’t care you wouldn’t be writing these comments.
Big mad in the comment section. Some people are way too invested in their YouTubers. It's entertainment at the end of the day.
