This video is not monetized. This video covers our serious concerns regarding the data accuracy of Linus Media Group, including Linus Tech Tips, ShortCircuit, and TechQuickie, particularly as it relates to rushing content out the door to favor – by staff’s own admission – quantity over quality. As the company continues to expand into its LTT Labs direction, the importance of accurate data increases; however, even as ‘only’ entertainment, there are still certain responsibilities to the consumer and the manufacturers to report fairly (and to have defined corrections processes in place). We tried to approach this as objectively as possible and hope that viewers are able to listen to the evidence we present, particularly as it relates to significant and frequent data errors that now present in nearly every technical review video.
Dude mkbhd is a hack.
I can’t remember the exact phone. I think maybe it was the Pixel 5a, but he got a few of the specs completely wrong in the video. The specs that were literally written on the box.
I can’t remember the issue exactly, but I think he said it was glass or plastic but it was the opposite of what he said. Like idk how the hell you can’t tell what the phone is made out of while holding it. Then he said it didn’t have stereo speakers, but it did. Like did you not listen to ANY audio on it?
His videos have always been about the cool factor. He makes nice shots and invests in the presentation.
People like Mr Mobile are the real ones.
When MKBHD broke the samsung galaxy fold phone he was reviewing and had to get a replacement from samsung to finish his review then didnt mention it in his review told me where his priorities lie. He values relationships with manufactures over providing information to consumers. Only after several reviewers posted about having broken the phone by removing a protective screen did he make a video about it where his fans praised him for for how honest he was. Here is the follow up video where he explains how he broke the phone and didn’t mention it in his review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtqtyyGZvXM
He was in a video by JerryRigEverything about content creators and if they have ever damage their phones and I couldn’t help but think about the review phone he broke when he says that he hasn’t broken a phone in the last 5 years. He was probably talking about just personal phones but I thought it was funny especially when the video has the line “I wonder if any of my friends here on Youtube have ever broken a phone and just not told anyone about it.” in the intro https://youtu.be/3oGJP9FMWAU?t=316
