Things I will never do -

Pay that much for a phone

Click on a YT link that's clearly an ad

In this case, it's a semi-successful youtuber who does phone reviews.

But I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you.

semi-succesful

18 Million subscribers, Billions of views, has had Kobe Bryant and the US president as guests on his channel. If that's "semi-succesful", what on earth is your yard-stick for successful?

I don't always agree with his takes, but I honestly can't think of a better or better-known tech reviewer.

I mean, Linus Tech Tips exist. So do Jay-Z 2 cents. There are plenty of other successful tech YouTubers.

Mr Blott was suggesting that the review is ultimately just an advertisement. I disagree with it, but each to their own.
