People haven't forgotten the truck full of iPhone incident and I wouldn't be surprised to discover that it is the reason people look into anything Lew does now far more closely.
It's a shame because I liked his videos but haven't watched anything on his channels in over a year since he has done several dishonest things that demonstrates he lacks integrity.
I rarely unsub someone but I unsubbed Unbox therapy some years ago ... His first video in his home were nice but he started to scream all the time, do massive clickbaiting, do fake giveaway etc
I feel bad agreeing, but I feel the same way. He used to have neat and interesting content, but I can’t remember the last time he had anything bad to say about a product. You can’t really use his videos for anything other than seeing what a product looks like, but there are other channels which do that better.
CreeperTech did that even become a thing/controversy ? When I realized that no one was getting an iPhone I stop following the channel but I found it weird that no one else cared. This case seems like nothing by comparison, the iPhone made his channel blow up.
@Lassi Kinnunen You're spot on. I always felt like UBT was just a hype machine channel and Lue seems like a vulture of all sorts (including being a culture culture). Always thought he was annoying and sleezy but I would watch the videos cuz I was interested in the products. Had to stop watching them.
Just a little suggestion. It would be helpful to put the date of the clip in the description. That way people know how old it is and can even go back to find the full Wan show.

I’ve had the Pitaka case for almost a year. It is the best case I have ever used. I saw the unbox therapy announcement and it confused me a lot. Mostly because after I bought the case, I found the original video. It was just a really sketchy way he announced it and said, “there is nothing out on the market like this case I made.” That statement was the big problem for me.
Unsubbed to Unbox so long ago. When I watch a video on something tech based, I want specs first and foremost. I can't count how many time he reviewed something and says "This laptop has a good screen." And no info. What resolution? What colour coverage? Touchscreen? All he does is hype stuff up, no fucking thank you.
Thats kind of his whole point imo. Hes not that hyper detailed tech youtuber, hes that more "general use" kind of tech reviewer. Your average mom isnt gonna wanna know this 4k monitor is 144hz and has 300 million rgb colors or whatever, she just wanna know what the overall product is like. dont watch unbox much, but he targets a different demographic than those like linus or gamersnexus target

@@paulfresh I mean wether hes basic or not isnt really relevant. Hes tech because he reviews tech products, but he reviews them in the "guy excited about outer appearances" way. not as the "look at these cores, those threads, this chipset!!!"

@@PowderedNuts I don't hate him for using the format, I hate the format. The obvious shilling, the low effort, the obvious lack of knowledge towards anything tech related.

hey linus i went on vacation to Peru and i was wandering the streets to look for restaurants and saw your face as a advertisement for a pre built pc that kinda sucked. It was everywhere at their internet cafes. Not sure if you wanna look into that.
As a fellow Canadian, I really like your content, i've learnt a lot with you and your team. This guy is a liar, started with the pick up truck full of iphones, the copy cat case, then then pablo phone. This guy should be ashamed.
My take-Lew and his team thought that they were popular enough to make a case, put out a short video and thousands would buy no questions asked. He was wrong-very wrong and got called out on it and had to damage control. In the end, it’s a little blip and it probably did hurt his credibility with many but doubt it will hurt him in the long term. Any time you are a reviewer, and you decide to make products you open yourself up for major scrutiny, and in this case it was all done wrong and there was a lot of scrutiny .
Skull Rings, Knives, Watches Agreed. Another questionable and slimy business practice by Unbox Therapy. Bottom line: What Lew did wasn’t criminal, but definitely shady. I’ve since unsubscribed to the channel.
gadhar anda duru beta dbrand already had the case it was only the skin that went on top of it. The grip case was there before JerryRig’s partnership thingie. They did transparent skins so you wouldn’t have to do the work of opening your device.
Yeah but its still better watching an hour long vid. Right? And a clip is supposed to cover all the things related to the context of the clip, which it did.
Just a side note, pitaka makes amazing cases. I used one on my iPhone 7 plus for ~3 years and that thing went through hell, but the case held up, and my phone never broke. I now have one on my new iPhone 11 max pro or whatever the hell its called, only dropped it once, but it absolutely holds up for how slim it is.
Lol they fucked up the naming so bad the owners don't even know what their own phone is called. I remember when the iPhone X came out everyone got it and called it the "ex" instead of the "ten". Hell even people really into tech thought it would be called "ex" from the leaked name before it came out. If I remember correctly they actually changed it to "ex" when the next gen came out, though maybe I just never watched the release and went with what everyone else called it.
this is like chevrolet advertising for ford when they make a similar product but they both believe that theirs is the best. to sell he needs to distance himself as far away from his competitor as he can.
exactly, he shouldnt be selling products in the same market as the products he reviews. and he shouldnt be selling his product on his youtube review channel. it just becomes impossible to trust him as a reviewer.
@@ge2719 The whole point was that the company didn't make the case he wanted for his phone, so he decided to have it made. If Pitaka had made it, the LaterCase wouldnt exist.
It's interesting that this and Lew's clip explaining how he had die-cuts made, sourced materials from 3M and had them made. He even listed the pricing for each of the die-cuts for each of the models he supports.
Sure, the issue is he then compromises his primary business with the side one. Now his honesty in reviewing other phone cases is called into question, because he's a "competitor". As Linus pointed out, he should have been very candid about this to avoid damaging his reputation which is half of his current business. It might not play into things much, but Lew should have been thinking about this rather than getting caught up in the excitement of $30 profit per case sold.
That's the mistake. He absolutely can, and should, promote his competition on his review channel. There's nothing wrong with saying "this case is awesome!" And then saying "hey I designed my own case that solves all the problems with other cases I talked about before, check it out!"
You guys should post that clip of linus and luke simultaneously reacting to an imaginary kickflip, I've been looking through the wan shows trying to find it but I can't.
In unbox therapy's new video, he kinda tries to tell people that what's special about his cases is that he will listen to his fans and make a case based on his fans needs
i think the information around this situation is clouding the mind. the launch video of the product, the words chosen in that video. the fact that he deleted the video. and his non defense of the accusation. He chose his words wisely to try and sell it as a original product without specifically stating that it is a original product. and it didn't work. his mcdowell's(coming to America) sales pitch didn't work if only he sold it like mcdowell's, at least he was honest about the differences. lew didn't even try to compare in anyway.
And what's wrong with that? Unless there's patent on the design, he can use it. Pitaka should sue Lew if they feel like a patent has been infringed. Otherwise STFU.
To take it further, Hermes, for example, puts their brand on bags that you can buy for 10% of the price that the same Hermes bag costs. Same look; same material, same everything. Brand has value.
@@lecannois There's nothing wrong with being deceitful and trying to fool people? You expect people to just suck it up and quietly take it after they get hoodwinked?
I'm still so pissed that Vertagear dragged their feet on the LED chairs . Since they announced, i've been ready, cash in hand to purchase one. They kept delaying and giving me the run around, but they still showed up at events, live streams, tournaments, etc. Sorry, I know it's unrelated, but seeing those chairs pissed me off, lol.
Whilst I agree this doesn't compare to say, a country burning or a viral outbreak to measure against current times. It still doesn't give him a free pass. People make it a big issue because Lew - through hard work or otherwise - is in a very influential position & as such he needs too respect that. It's a difficult issue for you guys to cover since you have collaborated with Lew in the past, so props for even entertaining the notion to discuss it. Having said that, I do feel that the question posed by a viewer 'he didn't make it was misconstrued & taken literally - granted the viewer could have worded it better but clearly he was pointing towards the potential copyright infringement.
Hmm, his voice is like that because he's sick? I thought he finally hit puberty. All jokes aside, I love LTT, you've done a lot for the IT and RUclips community.
You talk about channels stealing your content as in watching it on this channel... I didnt know this was a legit LMG channel xD thought this was some fan page that yoinked this clip that blatantly lolol. #TheMoreYouKnow
Linus you’re completely wrong on this. You (Linus tech group) doesn’t take the likeness of a product you’ve reviewed and create one with your branding on it and then subsequently remove the videos of the product you’ve reviewed. Lew is the sketchiest reviewer on RUclips. You at least have some “journalistic” integrity. He doesn’t. He just cares about who gives him the most money / incentive. He’s a fraud.
I think you guys confused Lew’s comments about Pitaka and Evutec. In his video he said he spoke to Evutec for manufacturing before launching the case but that fell through. He spoke to Pitaka after the launch about the CEO’s statements.
DemolitionRanch does design and print their own T-shirts and embroider their own hats. He has a merch business called Bunker Branding where he does lots of influencers' shirt merch. Yes I know he's an outlier, but just wanted to shout him out:)
Videos deletion was sketchy, lying about "collaborating with pitaka" was sketchy, his previous fake giveaways are sketchy. This guy was exposed numerous times, he's a scammer
The whole drama was not about copying stuff, but not accepting the fact that Lew's case is inspired by the Pitaka one and about deleting content from his channel and doing the copyright strike.
@@sameer5548 No. The problem was about copying it. That's the Pitaka's claim. And Lew showed that Pitaka also copied their case from Evutec. Also he adressed the fact that Pitaka didn't have any case for the Pixel 4 and that's what motivated him to make one. The truth is that companies copies products from one another (all smartphones footprints looks like an iPhone as an example) and they sue one another for plagiarism but it can take years for them to win the cause. When a public figure made one case similar to their product they rode the wave and got all this free advertisement claiming something they've already done it.

Apparently, people don't understand why I made the comment the reason I made it was because Matt owns bunker branding which prints his merch.
The sound quality on this so good i could record a Drake album on this.
Good Rapman Makes sense, they are Canadians after all
It's interesting that this and Lew's clip explaining how he had die-cuts made, sourced materials from 3M and had them made. He even listed the pricing for each of the die-cuts for each of the models he supports.
yes he sourced materials, reviewed dies because the fab he was using, couldnt copy Pitakas design quite right the first few times, doh
I hope his case is better than his rap music LOL
Linus sounds like steve-o every now and then.
Hello, I'm Linus and this is "drop the graphics card".
Steve-o before drugs lol
He can’t promote his competition, so he deleted the videos
There now you have it
Sure, the issue is he then compromises his primary business with the side one. Now his honesty in reviewing other phone cases is called into question, because he's a "competitor". As Linus pointed out, he should have been very candid about this to avoid damaging his reputation which is half of his current business. It might not play into things much, but Lew should have been thinking about this rather than getting caught up in the excitement of $30 profit per case sold.
@@SemiMono true in that regard Linus seems to be better!
U SAVED MY 20min, may you get 20yrs of prosperity
That's the mistake. He absolutely can, and should, promote his competition on his review channel. There's nothing wrong with saying "this case is awesome!" And then saying "hey I designed my own case that solves all the problems with other cases I talked about before, check it out!"
Yeah U rite
Feb-2021: I just realized that I forgot what the WAN Show set looked like.
You guys should post that clip of linus and luke simultaneously reacting to an imaginary kickflip, I've been looking through the wan shows trying to find it but I can't.
you find it first :P
He deleted the pitaka review video. That's proof enough he knew he was up to no good.
Let’s get this to 1 million views!
hey
"No RUclipsr makes things"
Joerg Sprave: Hahahaha
CROSSBOW MAN
Let me show you it features.
@@yukido42 come to say that but you beat me to it :(
So when are we getting a Linus Pitaka case review...
In unbox therapy's new video, he kinda tries to tell people that what's special about his cases is that he will listen to his fans and make a case based on his fans needs
The ceo of the company even said he doesn’t have a patent for the pitaka case. He said it was a moral issue he has against Lew not a legal one.
His whole channel is likely a shill. If he's willing to directly rip off his fans, why wouldn't he butter up reviews?
Those posters on back look kinda weird. Clean wall would be nice
akshay chauhan they do it for their sponsor displate
i think the information around this situation is clouding the mind. the launch video of the product, the words chosen in that video. the fact that he deleted the video. and his non defense of the accusation. He chose his words wisely to try and sell it as a original product without specifically stating that it is a original product. and it didn't work. his mcdowell's(coming to America) sales pitch didn't work
if only he sold it like mcdowell's, at least he was honest about the differences. lew didn't even try to compare in anyway.
And what's wrong with that? Unless there's patent on the design, he can use it. Pitaka should sue Lew if they feel like a patent has been infringed. Otherwise STFU.
To take it further, Hermes, for example, puts their brand on bags that you can buy for 10% of the price that the same Hermes bag costs. Same look; same material, same everything. Brand has value.
@@lecannois lol, sure stan. whatever argument makes you feel good
@@lecannois There's nothing wrong with being deceitful and trying to fool people? You expect people to just suck it up and quietly take it after they get hoodwinked?
@@lecannois That Hermes selling overpriced stuff because of branding argument is irrelevant to this case.
I'm still so pissed that Vertagear dragged their feet on the LED chairs . Since they announced, i've been ready, cash in hand to purchase one. They kept delaying and giving me the run around, but they still showed up at events, live streams, tournaments, etc. Sorry, I know it's unrelated, but seeing those chairs pissed me off, lol.
Whilst I agree this doesn't compare to say, a country burning or a viral outbreak to measure against current times. It still doesn't give him a free pass.
People make it a big issue because Lew - through hard work or otherwise - is in a very influential position & as such he needs too respect that.
It's a difficult issue for you guys to cover since you have collaborated with Lew in the past, so props for even entertaining the notion to discuss it.
Having said that, I do feel that the question posed by a viewer 'he didn't make it was misconstrued & taken literally - granted the viewer could have worded it better but clearly he was pointing towards the potential copyright infringement.
imagine Linus with this voice AND a beard
Linus explained the "making" thing so well. Cheers for you, Linus.
no he didn't
Ah the good old pre covid days when people could sit beside each other...
I dont know why this interests me more than Brexit, but it does.
Unbox therapy has zero integrity. How he treated the escobar phone. And his policy on sponsorship/product placement is at least unmoral, at worst...
I kept clearing my throat throughout the video for Linus
Upload a clip of the rant Linus made about Intel releasing their CPU just before AMD
i go back to that video just to watch the rant
Was the rant in the 10980xe video
18:30: "This is going to go away."
RUclips recommendations in 2021: "Here you go!!!"
Hmm, his voice is like that because he's sick? I thought he finally hit puberty. All jokes aside, I love LTT, you've done a lot for the IT and RUclips community.
You talk about channels stealing your content as in watching it on this channel... I didnt know this was a legit LMG channel xD thought this was some fan page that yoinked this clip that blatantly lolol.
#TheMoreYouKnow
For some reason it seems to me that he did exactly what soldier boy did
It's 2022 and Linus hit puberty
This is what Linus' voice will sound like when he's 75 years old.
Linus you’re completely wrong on this.
You (Linus tech group) doesn’t take the likeness of a product you’ve reviewed and create one with your branding on it and then subsequently remove the videos of the product you’ve reviewed. Lew is the sketchiest reviewer on RUclips. You at least have some “journalistic” integrity. He doesn’t. He just cares about who gives him the most money / incentive. He’s a fraud.
Incredible how much content was spawned by just an iphone being bendable.
UnboxTherapy has been through almost every phase of being a celebrity.
Holy shit I just realized Linus was a 'rona vector...
I think you guys confused Lew’s comments about Pitaka and Evutec. In his video he said he spoke to Evutec for manufacturing before launching the case but that fell through. He spoke to Pitaka after the launch about the CEO’s statements.
''no youtuber makes things.''
hacksmith: am i a joke to you?
DemolitionRanch does design and print their own T-shirts and embroider their own hats. He has a merch business called Bunker Branding where he does lots of influencers' shirt merch. Yes I know he's an outlier, but just wanted to shout him out:)
Whew this Luke guy gets on my nerves immediately. Edit: James, whatever.
Linus still wears socks and sandals, and not just regular sandals but the ones that have velcro to keep them on.
I always knew he was full of it
Videos deletion was sketchy, lying about "collaborating with pitaka" was sketchy, his previous fake giveaways are sketchy. This guy was exposed numerous times, he's a scammer
What are the chances pitaka and Lew are using the same manufacturer?
"I never heard of em"
-Linus Sebastian
😂😂😂 Love u guys.
Linus is way too young to hit puberty. This is just autotune
Much respect for walking through issues you found so clearly ✌🏻
Lew had no right to copyright strike Pitakka, the video they used was from a sponsored review
You don't own the copyright on your quotes, bruh. If you say something and you don't like looking bad for it, it's a false copyright claim
Realme just launched Their version of AirPods ( exact copy of Apple airpod ) written designed by realme 🤣🤣
How about this ?
The whole drama was not about copying stuff, but not accepting the fact that Lew's case is inspired by the Pitaka one and about deleting content from his channel and doing the copyright strike.
@@sameer5548 yep. What a 🐍🐍🐍
@@sameer5548 No. The problem was about copying it. That's the Pitaka's claim. And Lew showed that Pitaka also copied their case from Evutec. Also he adressed the fact that Pitaka didn't have any case for the Pixel 4 and that's what motivated him to make one.
The truth is that companies copies products from one another (all smartphones footprints looks like an iPhone as an example) and they sue one another for plagiarism but it can take years for them to win the cause. When a public figure made one case similar to their product they rode the wave and got all this free advertisement claiming something they've already done it.
Reminds me how apple claim to be first in anything, just using another names for the same thing..
@@d1gBR Ppl are fuckin stupid. No matter how much someone explains them the truth, they aren't gonna get it.
What to expect from unbox.
Just like Donald saying, "I opened this new factory. "
Geez, it's already been 2 years 😱
11:10
"i never heard of them"
ad plays: "roasted to perfection"
Lol it happend to me aswell by the time I was reading your comments
