If a review isn't honest, it is a commercial.
or a hit piece/ extortion.
So insightful
Welcome to capitalism!
@@3nertia well actually no capitalism is not supposed to work this way. We’re dealing with the death of capitalism.
Some people are actually wise in the Internet
"Distasteful and unethical" would have been saying that this scam of a product is worth your hard earned $700. The main responsibility tech reviewers should have is towards the consumer, not the companies.
yup and that hurts other companies too because if you spend 700 on this garbage that means you can't spend that same 700 on another product from another company which hurts those instead.
buut if he accepts money from the company they expect him to do a good review
Which is a further slap to the face of a bad company that I can get behind. 😂
"Do Bad Reviews Kill Companies?" ..... Then why Netflix, RUclips, Facebook or Amazon still exist ? Or even United States of America or russia ??? 😆😆😆
@@ikuma8291idiotic take
Imagine that, bad products kill themselves, and bad reviews assist. There, saved you 30 minutes.
thanks XD
Was coming straight to the comments before the video to point this out, it's kind of common sense but this is the current state of content creation, pointing out the obvious so everyone can praise you for making a video thats correct regardless if it's actually needed.
Yeah that's what I thought. I'll be on my way then
Reviews are more important, especially when it costs a lot. Look at laserdiscs and VHS. The inferior product won.
@@CB-lw7ty No, it has to be said, because believe it or not some people, even companies, can't even fathom something that is so stupidly obvious.
Imagine going after the weatherman for warning you about an incoming hurricane.
doesn't marques bootlick cyber truck though 😂
@@MrOBJECTIVEOBSERVER”doesn’t this weatherman like typhoons?”
@@MrOBJECTIVEOBSERVER he didn't bootlick that truck (i think), his review was not really negative, but also not very positive too, it was more of a meh. Be in mind that review was more focused on the technological innovation than the glaring basic design and safety issues of the truck, for those issues many other youtubers already did so
This is a terrible comparison because here the weatherman is actually running a business where he relies on obtaining exclusive access to weather reports BEFORE OTHERS to stay relevant and make money.
@@noahwuwungan7533 so it was fair review overtly positive reviews and negative ones tend to created be due to bias
If bad reviews killed companies, Blizzard would be already dead.
Bad products kill companies. I definitely trust Marques.
You shouldnt blindly trust any one reviewer for anything. He was just as guilty as the rest at pumping the Apple Vision Pro when it first released.
@@JackoWillMakeLives-loveupumping it? Yet he didn’t tell you to buy it? Weird..
@JackoWillMakeLives-loveu He wasn't pumping it lmao... sounds like you just wanted him to be more negative
@JackoWillMakeLives-loveu pumping it? Do you have proof or are you just lying on the internet? True brother TRUEEEE
@@JackoWillMakeLives-loveuHere we go again, another brokie NPC. Just because you don’t like Apple, doesn’t mean every product they produce is bad and should get negative reviews. Grow up
Most people blame Marques are tech stock traders whose shares would be affected by his review.
They don't realize it was their idiocy for investing into a bad company that need to blame here.
They probably snap up the shares at $1 , expect it to be like amd or Tesla but the reviews make them become worthless sh!t
The investor class is quickly becoming the new aristocracy
but that would require them to acknowledge that they're wrong... and that's asking way too much!
They're probably pump n dump scheme, & can't pump if nobody believes in the hype.
@@Chopzi11a Always has been ...
Man it’s like we’re in a free market economy where if a product isn’t good people won’t buy it and the company either changes or goes out of business and a new one will take its place.

Bad reviews don't kill companies, bad products kill companies.
Yep. A singular bad review means nothing. A group of bad reviews of a good product means nothing. A bad product that constantly prompts bad reviews, bad word of mouth, etc. will kill a company.
When reviews lie, people who notice it pop up to contradict them. If no one shows up, then that says a lot. It's like movies critics hate but audiences love and vice versa. Barbie and Joker, vs Captain Marvel 2, Morbius, and Madam Web. Right leaning critics hated the first, left leaning loved it, audiences loved it a lot. Left leaning critics hated the second, right leaning critics loved it, audiences loved it a lot. Nobody wanted those last three. Shilling couldn't save them either. Bad products don't sell.
Reminds me of the quote “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.”
@@RobsRemixes both are true so it works
Microsoft can make thousands of bad products and they'll get their money back from the next pandemic.
if you shoot your own feet, don't expect other people to apologize
Marques need to review Ubisoft, Activision Blizzard, and EA
He reviews physical gadgets and electric cars, not companies.
And yet.... thats the joke@ArchiveRagtagMoe
What can he really say that isnt just another voice in the choir?
These companies are run by soulless robots who only care about moving units and making money. Quality of the game be damned.
@@ArchiveRagtagMoeyou're sooo smaaaart!!
@@ArchiveRagtagMoe Captain obvious once again
I really don't get this mentality that some people have that companies must exist no matter what and you're bad if you let them fail. If you put out bad products/services repeatedly or on purpose, you deserve to fail. It's that simple.
You know, in communist Russia under Lenin and Stalin, the management was so bad they ran out of roofing nails as their order to the factories was to produce not to produce for purpose.
You would be shocked if you looked at the stats of individuals that are employed to produce crap, get paid for producing crap and therefore understands that if their crap is reviewed their out of work.
There is a massive conflict of interest with tech reviews which you are omitting. Reviewers actually have a lot of stake in being on the good side of hyped/popular companies because they are themselves competing with other reviewers in terms of who gets the most exclusive insight, or the first to get a product...etc. That means that every single youtube tech channel should be considered compromised to an extent. For example, iJustine won't get her shiny apple products before we can buy them if she starts poorly reviewing the next iphone; IGN won't get behind the scenes access to the most popular video games if they start giving bad ratings to Call of Duty, etc...
@@diverman1023 and that's how you get access journalism. Which is bad.
@@diverman1023 nobody asked.
It's because we have been brainwashed into believing that companies are these altruistic entities that exist to provide us with jobs out of the generosity of their owner's hearts. In America specifically, we are so terrified of what it might mean if we hold companies accountable because then they might go out of business and a congressman's district would lose 150 jobs, which will negatively affect his election cycle.
If bad reviews killed companies, then why is Activision still around?
Because no-brainer still buys the games. The new Ubisoft game wasn't released yet and it's dead but idiots will still buy it so.
@@hakunamatata324 Precisely this.
Because they've successfully cultivated an army of obedient drones who will snatch up everything these assholes produce on pre-order lmao
Almost as if the system has cultivated an army of obedient drones that think what they're told to think and buy what they're told to buy ...
Why people pre-order digital games at the first place anyway?
@@iki_4654 Because they are stupid. Sheeps dont think, they dont lead, all they do is obey and follow.
Whats funny is from my experience working at tech startups is they love the type of feedback MKBHD provided in his review. He didnt *just* say it was bad dont buy it. He gave detailed reasons. Specific repeatable scenarios to test against. Actionable feedback to make the product better in the future. Maybe it was stuff they already knew but now they know what to prioritize better.
Marques is quite literally the best reviewer on RUclips, he started reviewing bought products in his bedroom. Nowadays he's interviewing the top CEO's in the work, His growth has been incredible and it's down to his work ethic, honest reviews. He has not been compromised by company's or societal messaging. The reason is reviews are so respected are because people know they have zero bias.
Sure, bad reviews can kill a company.
But the response to a bad review can also create a golden goose.
Remember when Hello Games fixed No Man’s Sky after everyone hated it and ended up making tons more money AND completely fixed their reputation?
The fact that so many companies’ response to bad reviews is “shut up” is an absolute tragedy
@@San-nj8fjDoing what NMS did takes a lot more effort and money, that's probably why.
@@barahng But it’s been shown to also come with a big payoff too. These companies are too focused on their quarterly reports to see the big picture. Who tf designed this and where do they live?
@@San-nj8fj huh? No Man's Sky is still viewed as a bad game today, that's why the Nintendo guy said "a bad game is forever bad" because no matter what kind of fixes you do, everyone will just go "too late!".
this is only about games tho, physical stuff work differently.
I always only read bad reviews because I already know why I want to buy certain thing, I don't need to see people glossing over it, what I need to know is what kind of problems product have so I could evaluate if it's worth my money.
Exactly, I do the same. I want to know every reason to NOT buy a product so I can determine if it's worth it or not.
Reviews (both positive and negative) should always be in the service of consumers. A review in the service of a company becomes an ad or a sponsorship, and 100% needs to be regulated and labeled as such.
Welcome to capitalism where it's Profits over People!
They already took away the thumbs down button. Wait till theres a rule on youtube that there is zero "negativity" as in, if you say something is bad, even in a review; it will be removed.
No criticial thinking allowed! 😡
@@StackingGainsAs if 90% of people critically think in the first place
Easy - just have a "positive review" where you sit and angrily stare at the camera for 10 minutes. Then nod, say "that's all good features" and video ends.
I just got banned from YT because of the comment “m_nt@l 155ue” on wokeness.
This rule already exists via the comment mod bot
The old Amiga computers used to have a shipping problem where a large number of them arrived with chips that were not seated correctly in their sockets (this was before chips were soldered directly to the board). They created a team to look into the problem and it turned out the culprit was a speed bump on the way out of the production plant. They simply removed the speed bump and the problem went away.
A bad review does not kill the product. The review is just an autopsy on an already dead product.
The review informs us of the death, but does not cause it. It was DOA because it was a bad product before the reviewer ever saw it.
How would people know it's a "dead product" before they purchased it? Many purchases are non-refundable, so they can't get their money back, the company already has the money. Bad reviews absolutely kill products. People avoid getting a bad product by reviews, and therefore the company doesn't get the money.
Many choose products tue to reviews,due of oversaturated number of products. The same product on Amazon will greatly be impaxted by star rating and "review texts"
@@strixt they would know that it is a dead product....because of the review
The review points that you should not buy a "corpse" so the OP is kinda right on this one
@@alnea The original comment has been edited.
@GHOSTSTARSCREAMM Ah, I didn't realize all products had marketing that showed them as DOA, that's good to know.
Also, my comment didn't specify, so I can understand your confusion. Asmon specifically talked about big ticket items (phones, cars, etc.) having reviews is useful to the public. My comment is referring to many big ticket items (phones, cars, etc.) being non-refundable. Unless you've found a way of getting a refund on your auto loan? Or on your phone if it turns out to be shite after your (x-days) return window?
No? Hmm...
If all reviews are "good reviews," then there are no reviews.
When I watch a review, I want it to be unbiased because I don't want to decipher what's nice fluff words someone is saying about something and what's actually positive about it.
I heard that 'bad reviews' are illegal in Japan.
They can sue you for slander over there even if you state facts.
That's almost entirely due to their socio-cultural system which puts a lot of emphasis on how others perceive the individual and/or company as a whole even by small actions. This cultural phenomenon also informs their legal handling of accusations like defamation/slander/libel. While most Western/Westernized countries see truth as an absolute defense to such accusations, the Japanese do not see it as an absolute defense although it can be part of your defense against such accusations through social pressures caused by their cultural mindset. You can see other examples of this in Japan where younger actors and actresses will often hide that they are dating as simply dating someone can affect the person's public image, though this is slowly changing it is still extremely strong.
It is but because of their culture of "not being critical", they've made an entirely new system that is synonymous to saying something is bad, like when you see products in the Japanese market with reviews that say it is "okay" or "unique", those products are shit.
It's technically true but you are EXTREMELY unlikely to have someone come after you. You can BARELY find info on people actually being sued for this. The ability to sue also doesn't mean you're going to win, it's not that scary, people just don't want to take chances no matter how small.
@@nerofl89And people think its weird that I, being a weeb, never want to actually visit Japan. Its a pretty shitty place for someone like me who respects individuality.
Crazy way to live I’ll pass
'Fisker inc' sounds like one of those evil corps you find in video games
Sounds like something solid snake would infiltrate and sabotage
Just because consumers are informed by someone does not make that someone responsible for a company or a product doing poorly.
Someone said the reverse of this comment somewhere here it's hilarious.
He missed the pun. A Razer phone making a razor noise for the vibration? Cmon man.
There’s a reason censorship is so appealing in both business and politics. More so now that so much power is in the hands of the consumer via these independent reviewers
It’s horrific I was trying to talk about homelessness and they censored all my comments, and the guy I was debating was of course pro censorship it made me realize we no longer live in a free country we are no worse than China to do things like that. If you don’t have informed customers a key part of capitalism breaks in the free market it’s insane.
Imagine spending 700$ for a bad product. That man is a treasure. Keep it up homie.
As far as i checked, its just the weird twitter people.
Always have been.
Literally one guy malding.
X-Men
Mrwhostheboss also reviewed this product and called it bad.
Good more should
The difference is no one batted an eye on mrboss compared to mkbhd which is pretty stupid.
Do you guys even count 18 million followers vs 1.4 million?
@@Ruddlinewho has 1.4 mil?
@@RuddlineMrWhosetheboss also has 18 million followers mate
those companies die because the bad product, not because the review. its so simple. those ppl are just mad, that there are ppl that prevent that ppl get scammed by bad shit....
The only circumstance I can think of where a bad review can kill a company is when the company is a tiny startup and the reviewer is incompetent and uses the product wrong and ignores instructions and that was the only prototype of the product and then the reviewer sells it at an auction.
Fisker was already dying long before the car was tested. It's ridiculous to blame MKBHD for that 🙄
I made a comment on Marques's video pointing this out, but as with previous Asmongold videos that one Twitter guy with the screenshot (assuming he's the one who made the screenshot) didn't watch the video as evidenced by the lack of red bar in the screenshot, further perpetuating the "headline culture" nonsense that was the subject of one of the videos the other day.
bad product kills company (reputation),
evil product kills people,
good reviewers saves people money,
and bad company is a rock band
The same argument/narrative has been around for film or videogame reviews for quite sometime now, where bad reviews are constantly being attacked. Glad his video stated the obvious that "you don't get those bad reviews without the product being bad to begin with, obviously".
You're telling me that Marcus is actually a primal that's feeding off our faith in him?
That's what influencers are
Why do you think companies spend so much money on marketing and buying fake reviews? Also, why do you think "ESG" and "DEI" are a thing? They can put out poor quality products, but then when you give them bad reviews they'll just claim it's political.
You forget about the product also need to be praise to the moon and deliver what being asked by 'modern audience'.
They need someone to blame so they can fail upwards. "My product is successful I was just unlucky some powerful haters attacked me. I did nothing wrong and I am valuable, now give me money."
Yes DEI is 100% done for online insulation.
Saw this in recommendations before asmon reviewed this.
Congratulations

He watches videos that get pushed up on the subreddit, which are posted by people that watch him, which have crossover with what you watch because you also watch him. It's all one big content human centipede.
WIld. Been subscribed to MKBHD since 2009 when he did some phone review - and it was almost the only video on the thing and there were no articles or anything for it. Big respect for that Marques!
That’s why consumers should always listen to reviews from multiple sources. If one person says it’s bad while five others say it’s good, look into that one person and decide for yourself whether they can be trusted. Just because more people say something is good or bad doesn’t necessarily mean that’s the case. The vocal majority could be sponsored and praising a bad product, or alternatively they’re right about a product being bad
It's also important to check your bias. I suspect YT algorithm will push creators with similar beliefs or style to one's you already watch. So if one took a hidden sponsorship, it's possible that others you were recommended by YT did as well.
Checking multiple reviewers won't do you any good if you are stuck in the brainrot section of YT with all paid shills.
Yep always followed this rule in Amazon. Never bought completely bad products so far
Pretty sure hidden spnsorships are illegal. If you are sponsored you must announce that before advertising. There are actually laws around advertising believe it or not. At least in broadcast.
@user-zr1tx8ts5y lol yes they are illegal, but there's still a ton of people that do them. That's why you have to think about the reviews you're watching, no just take it at face value.
There wasn't enough time for Fisker to go out of business from the review. Clearly the company was already of failing life support. He is 100% correct. Bad products are the root of the problem, not the reviewer. He has some clout but not enough to kill a good product. Yeah, he might be able to finish off a failing product but he is reviewing a BAD product. He always seems to give a level headed well explained reason for his reviews.
This youtube video of a clipped twitch stream reaction and review to a youtube video self reaction based on a youtube video review changed my life. Bravo Editor.
Sometimes a product comes too early and then later on people appreciate it. Happens in gaming often.
Its literally the best thing to do to make better good products. How many times has a product been recalled because it overheated and burned someone? The only reason why is because of people giving their review of it and input it. Without those people would be burned and dismembered all over the place. Reviews, good and bad, is necessary for better business; if they can't handle it then don't be a business.
I meant positive and negative reviews make things happen, but also Sonic the Hedgehog movie. If we didn't give our negative reviews of that trailer and how Sonic looked and that it felt like one of those 2010 movies of 80s made cartoon characters then the movie wouldn't be at Sonic 3 with Keanu as Shadow with good reviews.
They don't, I'm sure, trust me, I'm a physician.
Much respect for this guy. Exactly the kind of man I would want to hear from regarding his authentic experience and take on a tech product 🎉
at game awards there was segment about starfield and they show clip whit massive page of 5/5 99/10 4/4 etc( is same thing you see when you go on starfileds tweeter) but that game wasnt even nominated to GOTY ( it got nominated to most anticipated game so to most "hyped" game and that only means good marketing not good game)
Yeah Starfield was massively overhyped
A dishonest review is just an advertisement. Nothing more, nothing less.
Most people who don’t like bad reviews are those who already bought the products and those who hate to accept the truth.
Examples: Genshin stands hate Tectone. JinYuan mains hate MrPokke.
I new before i bought my car around 25k miles it needs gearbox oil change i bought my car at 18k miles.
I google all of the manufacturer maintenance schedule for the car then looked up what it has had done.
And i looked up what it needed yearly before even buying it.
We have yearly checks to make sure car's are roadworthy they check about everything they can even kick a cars off the road for service rust underneath.
A Mad Catz controller! 😂
Honest reviews are how people can inform themselves. This is the good side of capitalism!
The side of capitalism where a shit product can be everywhere because they sent out a bunch of free product to RUclipsrs? ROFLMEYERWIENER!
There is no good side of capitalism though there can be good *despite* capitalism 🙂
@3nertia capitalism gives you the choice. Despite some of its flaws. it's a good thing. Free markets.
@@3nertia Capitalism works and that's a good thing
@@3nertia Capitalism also gives you the right to vote with your wallets, so if the product is bad you can simply not buy it unlike a state controlled market which runs a cronie companies....
I will say on a side note, too many bad reviews keep me from applying or interviewing with companies. I do like reading those bad reviews for comedic purposes. If the culture/pay is bad, you won't see me there.
Tbf some of those reviews are from disgruntled employees which are not necessarily due to the management or work environment. Just like any other review, take everything with a grain of salt.
@@Einscrest "take everything with a grain of salt" i started doing that a few years ago and now i have high blood pressure
I had the razer phone 2. It was great for a while, but it had really bad wear on the usbc port and the part was too expensive to consider replacing. The wireless charging was a decent backup for a while until the screen (the half that you use to put in the code to unlock) started to be unresponsive. I had to jump through hoops for hours to get my files off my phone because i couldn't log in. Anyways, it broke due to long term wear. It was decent otherwise.
If companies are worried about their customers being informed and not buying a product that has a bad review and nobody else is willing to step in and say “no actually it’s a great product” then they can suck it
Tip to spotting fake reviews: if the reviewers are talking in broad terms instead of specific things its a fake review.
tbh the company should take it as valid criticism just to make the product better.
Some people gave a bad review and critic because deep down their are actually care. Truth is always hurt, the company/people should take this opportunity as motivation. Thats how business work, be professional.
I think it’s also important to note word spreads a lot faster now via the internet and it’s harder to get away with making mistakes as a company. The higher level of accountability is real which I think is a good thing. Companies can’t just hope things will go unnoticed by the masses anymore
The problem with online reviews though is there's not all good actors out there. I've seen reviews where the product is trashed because the company didn't send a free unit to the reviewer or their channel's algorithm favors bad reviews so that is what's pushed. Some reviews can be bought. Who remembers infomercials that were set up to look like a talk show - in essence, tricking the viewer into thinking it wasn't a paid ad?
Fisker was already in trouble
Bad reviews on good products don’t kill companies
Unfortunately, that's not how people work.
That why there are only 5 stars on tencent apps
I had that same HP laptop with that media center remote lol. It was actually a hella nice laptop for it's time.
I'm a firearm guy this was happening in our space within the last couple of years. Paid reviewers vs self bought and tested. Now almost everyone states how they received it and leave it to you to decide the info you take in. Alot of honest reviewers have help better products come to market in the tactical space because of honest reviews. Some companies take it personally but the best ones take the critique and make better products.
i believe those are bots from those company to shut bad review off, 100mil funded trashed, i believe they spend more than 10mil for army of attack bad reviews.
Free speech and False speech are two different things.
Reviews got popularized because it brought income when some people didn't knew how to make a content like the rest, it slowly evolved from unboxing, to showcasing, to full independent and sponsored reviews. I doubt it was because to help the people, it was the secondary or tertiary purpose, mostly it was the section of YT that go exploited imo., it was a win/win situation, but for youtubers it was simply way of earning money by being the first to bring people in the before-undiscovered topic.
Even if reviewing products is merely "content", if the quality of the review is unbiased and factual then it's still a good review for consumers.
That nay be true, but you have people who would offer unbiased reviews rise to the top. It's still a good thing for consumers and I'd rather watch some random dude who has no loyalty to anyone give an honest review over institutions like consumer reports. It's basically no different from them, they exist solely to review things and I wouldn't be surprised if companies offered them money for good reviews.
It all comes down to how the company manage the criticism and the fallouts that comes with it. If they are able to assess the situation and react to them well, it might actually benefit the company.
Bad products do first and foremost!
Just clicked the video so not watched yet. No Bad Reviews Do Not Wreck Companies... Bad Games or Products Wreck Companies....
Now to watch the Video.
RUclips is the great equalizer with the fine print in advertising and companies hate that.
"A new foundation for thinking."
Indeed. This is why i watch YOUR videos. Because even for someone with horrible diet, your critical thinking skills are very very high above average. You are good at analyzing things and also placing things in context as to how important they are or not at all. I love your videos Asmon.
mkbhd is the only tech reviewer i watch. he's the goat
Same.
You are missing out on real tech reviews lmao
Reviewer
a person who writes critical appraisals of books, plays, films, etc. for publication.
So what was he meant to do? Lie? Ridiculous. What a thing to be upset about!
Big company makes bad product = YOU MUST SUPPORT IT!!!!
Cancel all reviews. Consumers do not need to know anything about anything they're going to buy!
SPEND MONEY AIMLESSLY
There are a few exceptions, which is probably why this became controversial. Like i do agree with asmon and marques, however the thing that happened with linus is probably why this became an issue, because there are some review channels that don't do proper due diligence, and in turn will actually hurt a good product in its niche.
Basically wanting to be first to post a review instead of actually putting in correct information etc.
When I saw the device before all the reviews I knew it would suck. It’s a companion device for your phone. It’s basically a good assistant but the problem is phones like Google or Apple will improve their assistant and kill the pin. So it needs to improve what it does
I guess it is what it is
When you have such a large audience, you do wield an immense amount of influence. When reviewing a product and you know it’s going bad, he could absolutely give the company the notes before he publishes the review and let them try to respond with how they intend to fix these issues in the future. I think that would offset the impact of a negative review and still provide helpful information for everyone, the company included.
But that's not the responsibility of a content creator. They should've put out a good product in the first place. It's not like the quality of the review is terrible.
Waiting for a company to respond means some people stay uninformed about a product's issues while they continue to buy it. You really think most companies will do something about a product if its flaws aren't revealed to the public?
Reviewers are not the companies' quality assurance departments. If a company wants that service from them, they're gonna need to pay.
Any reviewer who thinks like you needs to be removed from the platform immediately.
You can't extrapolate 18 million viewers to the entire market though. There's over 300 million people in the US alone, you're talking less than 10% having enough effect to kill a product. If every single viewer watched the review (which not all did) and they told ten people, (which they also didn't do) you'd get around half the US population. You really think half the population of one country is enough to kill a product?
I trust marquess, but i try to watch 5 to 10 more reviews of a specific item before buying. Just to make sure i get another perspective.
I dont understand people with no interest shilling for companies, like if a company that made a bad product dies, good riddance. A bad review alone will not kill a good company or product.
MKBHD has 18 million followers. If he gives a negative or positive review, the review will definitely affect the company.
There's over 300 million people in the US alone. You're talking less than 10% of the US population here, he doesn't have as much influence as you'd like to think. Also, it's typically younger people who are on youtube so you're not reaching that many people.
“Forspoken” game is a great example of this. Reviews were so bad studio was shut down.
*The game* was so bad studio shut down.

5:40 That’s very specific, bro.
The first step in solving a problem is first acknowledging there is one.
You know what's worse than a bad review on your product / service? People who just stop coming back and never tell you what's wrong with it. That way, you'll continue to do the same thing over & over and never know what was the cause of your failure.
why should i care about companies ?
presumably you buy things from companies. so you should care about companies to some capacity, that is you should care about and support the companies you believe put out good products
i agree; blind corporate loyalty lets apple samsung and the rest get away with poor and underwhelming products that clones defend with their whole being, and personally attack criticism.

The reverse is also true. A RUclipsr being a shill and giving a bad game a glowing review can (and should ) kill the RUclipsrs career. (looking at you The Act Man 🤑)
Is this about the payday 3 or something?
Edit: here we go again 😐😐😐
It's clear that you didn't watch his video and look at the description too. He said himself in the video that it wasn't even a review just his perspective in the showcase. It's clear to me you just skip his intro.
And is it his fault that what payday 3 he experience during the showcase is totally different to the release version?
What review did act man do that was bad ?
@@ceshmate1953 He was invited to all paid expenses holiday and showcase of Payday 3 prior to its launch.. he then released a video called "Payday 3 is a CERTIFIED BANGER!".. (prior to its release). His sellout got the game huge preorders, but cost players a lot of money. The game released as a horrible mess, and is now all but dead.
@@_Shadow_1-6 He edited his description AFTER the backlash. His apology/justification/back-peddaling description was a rewrite in retrospect. He currently has 14k dislikes on that video. He messed up big time. He's a shill.
@@OvercookedOctopusFeet but did he also edit the video? He clearly say that it is not a full review.
Edit: he got scam too. Payday 3 devs put his and other cc's name in the bad light and they all upset.
9:58 Yea, seems pretty accurate. Just waiting for that deep dive kinda devices.
Fisker has been on the slide for years, they were another EV start-up like Rivian, they just made bad cars that literally blew up/caught fire and never were able to overcome all the bad PR on top of their mediocre product quality when it DID work.
i would say the difference is that Strife tries to kill things and does so with a surface level opinion stated in the guise of a deeply formed opinion, and that the comments reflect that accurately
When you raise an issue after buying online - they try to extort a 5* review from you before correcting the service. Bought a home sauna kit & 1st popped electrically within 15min of running, replacement lasted 30min but same issue - Capacitor blew. Each time they asked me to change my review up front b4 finally refunding purchase. A review is just that - the experience at the time, you can't undo an experience. Better that they do it right the 1st time - unfortunately many online purchases are thru agents selling from bulk warehouses so they never inspect the goods.
As far as i remember, Fisker have always had quality control issues. Anyone remember the recalls on the Spyder? recalls since 2015 until now. I dont think the Ocean is a coincidence...
IMO, Bad products kill companies, the bad reviews could potentially save a company if they act in time.
Didn't they manufacture some VR headsets with attached explosives as art project? You can have SAO at home.
As someone who relies solely on Negative reviews for anything, no Negative Reviews are an integral part of the system, it lets you know if disliking a product is aligned with taste, or is potentially just a subjectively bad feature that no one would enjoy.
At least on steam i only rely on Negative reviews, as you get way more information out of them, then the positive ones, what are the fundamental issues with this game, and would i enjoy it knowing that they are there?
Same can be applied to online shops and stuff, especially since a lot of positive reviews tend to be fake.
I don't buy a lot of tech stuff apart from my PC parts but still like to keep up because I find it interesting to see where things are going.
5:59 nah that’s the sound of when ur Xbox power box when it’s abt to give out 😂
This is ultra scary... big companies begin to try ban independent reviews...
"Bad Product kill companies"
Chinese Companies : "That's where you're fkng wrong"
reviews are so powerful that people can destroy the trajectory of a game/franchise by review bombing it even if its a good game. for something like network issues on launch or a political stance
How often do you use the thumbnail picture?
The "ltt" drama with the watercooling that they sold but still they didnt go down i think... I will look up reviews and see 🙈 f the reactions are the samebfor everyone or if there negative for everyone. But if the reviews are mixed i will try it but i will make up my own mind then.
that motor in the phone sound like a prison tattoo gun lol
