I’m Pissed! 

Even if there are products users do like, a good example of this, let's take Nvideo, it still comes down to what is a normal purchase price compared to that ripoff pricey GPU. If they can get a so-called popular smartphone and mass-produce it down to $10, why couldn't they also do the same for GPUs, all because a brand name company says it's a premium GPU?

Tf are you saying

So you're telling me this person doesn't stand to financially benefit from the rage baiting and controversy. Get the f out of here RU-vidr.

It reminds me of the Segway. All the R&D and money and hype involved, and it was a nothing. Who needed it? I like MKBHD. I'm surprised the Tesla fanboys didn't gang up on him for dissing the Cybertruck. :-P

Then the VW CEO shot himself in the foot by turning to the american practices of lying about emissions and trying to change laws about emissions. It's all become money-centered

You realize that their automotive and aeronautics industries are state subsidized, right?

@@UncleButterworth And US is no different? Pray tell, how do american manufacturers keep producing trucks like F150 and others?

@@UncleButterworth is that the reason why American cars are headaches most of the time?

100%! I don't get why people in Northern Europe get Teslas. A lot of people have issues with paint falling off, the suspension getting borked, electronics/mechanisms failing, headlights drawing in water etc... those vehicles just aren't made for our climate. They don't do well in our Winter. Same goes for french/italian cars.

Exactly

Then a lot of people won't buy the product. You should be taking constructive criticism.

the problem is that, I bet a lot of people might not even watch the video, because the title and preview image is like "don't watch, it's just a bad product. don't buy it either, you're warned"

Well if you're a company and you're worried about if a review is going to be bad, your focusing on the wrong thing. You're the business of developing whatever the product is, not being all butt hurt because the version you sent to be reviewed got roasted by all the flaws you both knew that were there and failed to identify. They're crying over spilled milk failing to notice how far down s*it creek they've drifted and they don't have a paddle.

Exactly, if its a bad product people will find out eventually no matter if there were influencers either supporting them or dissing their products. There is some truth in this. Don't be fooled. Influencers is often likely to be biased wether they are big or small in the communities, cause they are after all trying to make a living on this, they are not nesscarily your friend. Just like any other they are trying to make a business. People still have to be able to sort trash reviews from honest ones and Mr Gamer Meld is himself a bit of a drama tablet news reporter. Not dissing any thing here, but just saying 😉No actually harm here as its just his way of telling about new products. The real issue is that influencers can do both good and harm here if they are not carefull how they put their words when they review stuff and they have to be absolutely honest wether they are sponcored or not when talking about specific products. I do think most of those I follow is doing their best to be as honest as possible. I have less respect for the actually companies when they try to do harm to reviewers when they honestly tell about faulty products and actually tries to do constructive critisicms and is hit with a wall of disrespect and blacklisting of getting review samples. Most companies is from time to time doing more harm to their own business credabillity themself than one bad review from a youtube channel by not promtly admitting the product should be fixed and instead trying to blame said RU-vidr for being "against" them. That kind of business never pays off

Marques pointed that out in his latest vid. He called Razer's gaming phone's vibration "trash" in his review, and Razer fixed it.

@@KyanoAng3l0 and that’s exactly what a review should do

If they respond like the Sonic movie's creators it could be beneficial. Good credibility in a new market is worth a lot.

There is no fixing stupid idea...

@@golimonkeyI don’t understand why anyone would buy such a device @ $700. For $25 more, you can buy a Samsung Galaxy 24 with its AI features!

Thank you!!!!This reeks of folks who most likely have money put into the company that makes the product.

@@MrSamPhoenix ill be honest it's apparently 700 bucks and my phone can do the same if not better etc. I wouldn't like the product either.

@@andrewszerbiak7330 exactly, we all knew it was a BS product before any reviews. I hope MKBHD doesn’t succumb to the fake outrage of the investors.

​@@MrSamPhoenix he didn't, he posted a video the next day doubling down like the true review boss that he is. He is honest and that's a good thing. Maybe company's should make good products, if it's bad, they should continue working on it until they get everything worked out before sending it to someone who isn't on your payroll, that has no incentive to cover for them. The public should be happy that he told the truth bc they are the ones getting scammed if they purchased the product.

I was going to say the same thing... Its a slander campagn to burn a reviewer that hurt his profit margin...

The people that are attacking him reeks of folks who most likely have some money put into the company that makes the product.

he's probably one of the shareholders. lol

thats typical maltese customer service, that guy is from my country malta where businesses try to skin customers for money

Agreed!!! These attacks reeks of folks who most likely have some money put into the company that makes the product.

100% ❤

it's genuinely fucking bullshit that in the US it's illegal for companies to make moves that COULD lose their investors money. Investors can literally sue companies for making risky decisions if they lose money. Investment is supposed to be a fucking risk. That's the whole balancing factor to it. The way it works in the US right now, investment is EFFECTIVELY free money as long as you have money to begin with. The system literally enforces "rich get richer".

Will hate who more?

​@@jeevan1198 mkbhd

​@@X82YT I see. I can understand Gamer Meld's frustration. Things are just getting fucking ridiculous.

That's alot of hate for something that doesn't matter. Let it go.

He didn't give in. MkBHD released another video the next day where he doubled down on his views and stood strong. Definitely watch it. Maybe gamer meld can add a link to it in his video description.

It seems like the only backlash that he is receiving is coming from people who likely have invested in the company or the product.

@@Bama_Boymost likely true

When I look at a review on yelp I don’t look at single persons opinion on a product. When a single person has millions of people watching him and he personally doesn’t like the product that’s not necessarily accurate. He should’ve invited people to try the product in his video and see if they felt same about it. Many RU-vidrs do that when they go around asking people what they think of a product.

AI company. Maybe AI reviewers.

@@LotsOfBologna2 I guess

What did Linus do now

​@@MrMariovideo13there's a lot of coverage about it. It was an internal error, hardly Linus' fault directly.

@@MrMariovideo13not much really.

@@AL-lh2ht Not much?? He misused a waterblock with the wrong GPU and then gave it a bad review. Then.. auctioned it, instead of returning it the the two guys who engineered it. GN even grilled them for it, among many other things.

@@MrMariovideo13 GN has a long video on it. Then LTT made the obligatory apology video.

Licking the boot is a weird way of people, especially on "X" these days.

You are completely off here. This is probably a small startup company NOT A CORPORATION. It's one thing to trash the product of a huge corporation like NVidia or Tesla who might experience just a slight dip in their market value that day at the stock exchange but will be overall just fine in the long run, and it's an entirely different story if you do the same with a startup business where the owners invested their entire savings, energy and effort into the project of their lifetime and you go the extra mile and "season" your click-baity RU-vid video title with words like "Absolutely worst product I've ever reviewed". I'm not saying they shouldn't be honest about the defects or shortcomings of the product. But you really don't have to go the "extra mile". That's just farming the poor company for content. That's exactly what MKBHD did. He completely threw them under the bus. It's just like those TV shows accepting those really horrible singers to participate in the contest only to have the entire audience and entire nation laugh at them at how bad they sing. They are farming them for content because of their naivety. Nobody cares what happens with their lives afterwards. "Well, if they're dumb enough to think that they can compete here, than that's their problem"... right. And that's what makes you a jerk.

Agree

Yep! But the corporations are making junk now!

@@shanemitchell477 And I'd argue that the corporations are making junk partially because no one is criticizing them. It's a shitty cycle.

this is what its like when you try talk about how shitty Microsoft, Apple, Intel and Nvidia are. nobody wants to listen to reason and truth they only care to defend their company that they foolishly trust with their lives. when they just get railed by scummy addition after scummy decision. like the 3050 6GB. or Windows adding back Start Menu Ads. Apple Charging 200 dollars for 8GB of RAM. hell 14th gen is a real POC moneygrab. just pure garbage people refuse to criticize!

@@DJdoppIer They're making junk because it seems false advertisement laws have left the building, and chinese companies that sell to amazon and walmart etc do get caught, change the name of their company and sell junk again and again.

This is a bad take.
