I watched his whole review and he was SUPER fair and balanced in his points made. Blaming him for "destroying companies" is an absolute cop-out 🙄
I watched the product ad and knew right away it was a scam. Thought it was obvious but guess it wasn't.
The best I could tell it was one techbro leading that charge and he seemed to single out Marques. Maybe Marques was the most well-known name but the body of reviews were almost all negative. Sure there were other people complaining about the reviews but the rest were relatively unknown people. I hope this convinces companies to make sure their products live up to their own hype before pushing them out the door.
Marques is a tour de force. Tech, cars, collabs with other creators. He really does it all, and does it well
He won youtuber of the century
He doesn't make actual products of his own, so no he doesn't do it all
@@g0d182yes he does. The 251 sneaker.
@@thorfinn7291 No he doesn't. That's not a tech product
@@thorfinn7291 he doesn't it's not a tech product. He also doesn't make or even assemble in house, it's made by atom.
Albeit kudos for him for helping to design a pair of shoes
I know it’s cliche to say something like “two of my online worlds colliding”, but this really is. Excellent, interesting conversation.
On the written ethics statement, Mr. Mobile (Michael Fisher) is one of those creators who has a full, published ethics policy, and has for as long as I can remember.
Thank you!! And appreciate that info on Mr. Mobile!
I've been watching MKBHD's reviews for about a year and I find that they're fair and insightful. Most products he reviews aren't ones I would buy, but he provides a great insight as to where a particular product fits into the larger world.
Marques' reviews are honestly quite kind. He actually tries to be objective and factual about the products he reviews.
Bad products kill companies.
Marques is not my favorite reviewer, but I do believe his reviews are very fair.
The important question not being asked is "Do you think your review is being attacked because you went against the AI hype?"
Capitalism accidentally made the final product (smart phone) so now they can't keep scamming VCs with fake products.
IMO: if you disagree with his review and opinions on products he reviews, you can still go out and spend the money and try it yourself. if you think it's great, fine, make a review sharing those thoughts, but to say He is ruining companies with his negative reviews shows a lack of accountability from consumers, companies, and media. Please let's be mindful and use our own brains and money to make our own decisions on what we decide to spend our money on. 💕💕
The thing is tho, if someone defends a PoS like the AI Pin would never actually buy said product. It's just static noise.
cool to see MKBHD in other channels
"Sorry about your Whopper sir, but do understand, that in 2-3 years, it's possible I will be able to make the best Whoppers ever, with the help of AI"
Really enjoyed hearing Marques' opinion on different facets of the industry in a more casual/loose setting than a review video. Would love more interviews like this!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching :D
His review of the Rabbit R1 is a perfect example of people commenting who clearly haven't actually watched the video. For some reason, there are a lot of people who wanted to hate it and he doesn't hate it at all, just had some constructive criticisms.
I don't really like most tech reviewers. However, I can't deny MKBHD's presentation and writing is among the best out there.
Also; such thoughtfull question. I'm really impressed with your interviewing skills! Thank you Taylor Lorenz!
He has a major in business and IT
Really??!! Why would people criticize a Tech reviewer for giving an honest opinion about a product where he gives specific examples of what features are not working. If he had glossed over the product, his own reputation would have plummeted because people like myself who over the years have come to completely trust his honest and straight forward reviews ... they would have completely lost faith in his straight forward opinion ... which is exactly why he's built such a stellar reputation as a Tech reviewer in the first place!! In contrast, I watched iJustine gush over a similar product, even 'ooooh'ing' and 'aaaaaw'ing' over the product's crappy packaging, then gushing over the gadget's ability to recognize an egg dish, a banana, a flower and for it to suggest some TV channels ... I "unsubscribed" from her channel long ago for this very reason ... it's obvious that her so-called "reviews" are paid promo's or some other benefit provided for providing a positive review ... which is no different than watching some tacky, sponsored TV Ad. Thank goodness for MKBHD's honesty and integrity ... I hope he never compromises his high standard, no matter how much the product developers of half-baked products complain and whine.
Because too many people want to drink the AI cool aid.
If it only takes one bad review to kill your product, then maybe your product just sucks. Nobody owes your company money just because you’re selling something.
It's kinda weird to ask a question like "how long until we don't have to drive ourselves?" in regards to autonomous cars, and it makes sense in most of North America and other areas that don't have other transportation options, so driving seems like the be all end all. If we instead put our funding into trains, buses, streetcars, bicycle infrastructure, building walkable mixed-use neighborhoods, then you wouldn't need to drive. Personal motor vehicles are like the absolute worst option in terms of cost, environmental impact, safety, moving mass amounts of people efficiently, etc. We're wasting our time with "self-driving" cars when cars shouldn't even be the main focus of transportation in the future.
I personally think a bit of both is necessary, but we absolutely need to wean away from automobiles and invest more into public transportation (now I'm in Canada, so it's not super bad at least in Southern Ontario, but there are other places in Canada where cars are your only option to get around).
@@jamestomato1744 I too am in Southern Ontario, and my town is awful. Buses come every 30 minutes and they're unreliable so you could miss it. No bike lanes, just paint on the road in a few spots so no one cycles. The train tracks that ran through town were just ripped out recently since they hadn't been used for years. The Go bus comes through a few times a day, I'm not sure if they've started coming on weekends again. Plus Doug and his goons think a new highway is going to help traffic. 🤦 Canada can be just as bad as the US, unfortunately.
@@MichaelSheaAudio Oh yeah, absolutely that's what I said.
New Jersey loves our MKBHD videos!
That “if I’m reviewing smartphones and a smartphone company wants me to work on a phone for them” was a smart way of telling Mark Zuckerberg that him reviewing the AVP was pretty dumb.😂
He remains very human and relatable even though he is now super rich.
I have always loved his reviews. Truthful and honest. I have reviewed many items and have come to the same conclusions but not always. We do clearly have different needs and wants to some products but have a common ground.
Great interview Taylor!
He is always fair. it sounds like a lot of butthurt to me.
Great interview!!
Great interview Taylor.
Slap AI on anything and sell it is the trend.
i watched the product launch before anybody got their hands on it and reviewed it, even at that time i already concluded the same talking points all the reviewers are talking about, its not the reviewers fault for anything, its the product itself
so MKBHD is *Thanos* he can snap his fingers and your done.
Nice interview ❤
Hi, I’m just here to talk about people talking about people talking about a guy talking about a product.
It doesn’t overheat all the time. They actually already fixed that small bug.
Did you buy it ?
I like Marques. I watched both his reviews of the smart pin and the Fisker Ocean. I thought both were fair. What has somewhat turned me away from Marques's channel is due to his own success. I watched his Tesla solar roof. Then I watched where Marques and 3 other guys discussed a $2500 smart mattress topper. All of these products are beyond my price range. That turned me off. I still like Marques's phone/camera reviews, where he still has a budget/value award. (Now cue the trolling from people who hate me because I agreed with his smart pin and Fisker reviews, as well as the people who now hate me because I criticized Marques. Stupid trolls, get a life.)
he should have reviewed theranos
Great interview
Was a great review tbf
Marques is great. How he fanbois over Elon isn’t…
Any examples?
@@yonkocommander5531 Watch his boot licking interview with Clyde...
It does feel like he's constantly giving him kid gloves. I get that he stays uncontroversial but still
@@yonkocommander5531his review of the cybertruck
the only think i know from him is the will smith fortnite thing
❤
niche thing you are good at, that's true. Reviews ill go to mkbhd, unboxing i would go to Dr debox, see?
People try to put a higher self-determined burden of ethics on MBKHD, because he's a bigger RUclipsr with a lot of views and subscribers. Nobody would push back if this type of review was posted on The Guardian. It doesn't help that we all are chronically online, so we can feel the impact when he posts videos. A reviewer is not a critic. Barely a journalist. His reviews are all subjective, even though he tries to be honest.
I believe, over time, companies' marketing departments have given reviewers and RUclipsrs a lot of reverence because of how wide the audience reach is. That doesn't give them the power to determine how the RUclipsrs and reviewers get to look at and present their products. They were never journalists or critics. They are online personalities who have established themselves through the discussion of tech products. That's the fact, in all its beauty and ugliness.
$700 plus $24 monthly subscription for a product that does what my phone does. Everything the AI pin does my phone does better. 🤷🏿♂️
Great content, great interviewer, great guest.
I'm on his side
This will teach him for using clickbait titles
His reviews are balanced. Just stop making stupid products!
Uh oh, the woke and snowflakes have been offended. 😂
@T.elegramMe-Taylor_Lorenz If a product is bad, it's bad. We need to know. End of.
Really enjoy his content but sometimes his word choices are unnecessarily harsh 😢
That’s the youtube game, blame the algorithms not the players
The Humane AI pin was crap. His words weren't harsh enough in my opinion
How?!? He is the kindest and careful about how he speaks lol. Harsh would be if the aspects he talks of or says are bad wasn’t true.
1:39 Right now I realise that when I'm too critical of tech products my life is in danger. So I try my best not to be too critical because my means of income can be compromised. 1:39 I can become a vagrant if I bash a tech product too much. It's a dangerous world out there just to be honest, people prefer that you lie to me. So I understand Marques Brownlee's position.
nice!
I thought he was a good tech reviewer know I think he’s not he can’t see the future,the Apple vision pro is the worst product from Apple because you can not see the vision in the real world but the AI pin you can,all you need to is project it on a table and use it as a normal computer.
It’s the first generation so big improvement may happen
Have you tried the Vision Pro? What most do you like and dislike about it from your personal experience?
When are you going to have another crying meltdown? As my popcorn could use some salt.
You gotta hire someone for these thumbnails they are horribly bad
I did hire someone! What would you say should be improved? I can pass along the feedback to her :)
He’s doubling down on his clickbait title. But he’s clearly paid for by Apple. The Vision Pro is “interesting” even though not complete. Yet the Pin is the worst (yet only needs a few small software tweaks).
I really hope you are kidding. The vision pro is actually interesting as it is really good at what it is supposed to do ( i dont like Apple either, but that's a fact). The humane ai pin is just bad in every way other than the build quality, which he credited.
Nah man. I've seen the vision pro in action and it's one of the few times I wish I was stacked to be able to try it myself. I believe it's overpriced, as with all apple products but it is fascinating to see function and definitely looks interesting. The human pin is a shittier Google assistant/voice based chat gpt, with a subscription model. It is absolutely not an equal comparison, at all (and I don't even like Apple, I have and continue to despise their attitude towards their product pricing and self repair)
Yes, MKBHD should say all products are great even if they suck.
So all the haters that wish they could do what he is doing will buy all these horrible products and just love them because nobody these days want to hear the truth.
Everyone wants to be lied to just like the person who made the AI Pin lied to everyone but wants to charge you $700. But MKBHD wants to tell you the truth for free.
What the heck is wrong with people these days.
