If your company makes a product that is so bad they can't sell, they can't really blame those who review said product, and tell the truth about it. MKBHD as far as I know, is not in the business of selling bad products. There's other channels for "shill tips" heh, heh

Adam Smith and the Invisible Hand. If the product isn’t worth a damn, then the business should go under so another business can use those resources.
@walter4180 Says:
Reviews aren't meant to protect the company but to protect consumers
Sugarcoating a bad product to "not be so mean to the iddy biddy company :(" is dishonest and harmful to consumers
that twitter post is laughable honestly lmfao
WON'T SOMEONE HAVE PITY ON THE CORPORATIONS

Humanity is devolving, I blame TikTok, insta, vine, twitter, I blame vine the least, people’s attention spans are getting worse, a short attention span isn’t good for anything cuz now your going to get bored in activities and really everything, which leads to brain rot, which leads to humanity devolving, Twitter is the one I blame most as almost every idiot goes to twitter and backs up other idiots which then creates more idiots cuz of younger people seeing the stupid shit, anyways good video

@NDM100 Says:
Your review of the Humane Pin was extremely gracious overall. You acknowledged their vision, their build quality, and the effort that went into the first iteration of their product.
Assuming the company creates version 2, i can almost guarantee they'll use some of your talking points to make improvements.
Anyone saying otherwise is kind of delusional IMO.
@SLRCCLUB101 Says:
When sony mobile released xperia these guys review it design is bad, 4k display not worthy, even xperia z made water resistance mobile they said it's not worthy for mobile. But the same thing when samsung was released after a year, they call it the biggest innovations.
I always watch reviews to see what the device offers, but never take the reviewer's opinion.most of them get flavor who fill their pockets.
@dPointe Says:
For the AI pin and other worthless stuff out there; Don't produce and market crappy devices, that's it. I guess next time, they will be afraid to sell crappy stuff. Well done Marques.

@michaelcarrig627 Says:
There was a man who ran for president a few times with the green party named Ralph Nader. He was a lawyer who worked predominantly in consumer protection. One of the books he wrote was called "Unsafe at Any Speed" and critiqued the automotive industry, and in particular GM's Chevy Corvair. While GM attempted to sue and smear him (for which he sued and beat them), the Corvair was ultimately taken off of the market and The National Traffic and Motor Safety Act was developed from his work. He was an advocate for all people against the natural tendencies of corporations to exploit consumer ignorance for their own gain. In our present context, I do not know if Nader would have been recognized as the public advocate that he was. Had his book been about Tesla or some startup, there would be a mob of brand advocates that would undermine the very act of critique as a service. And this is not just a problem in technology. Our culture lacks both actual critical skills and the valuation critique even when one cannot critique something with their own faculties.

I can honestly say youtube reviews on gear...tech...whatever have been a huge help when trying to make a informed decision about a potential purpose. You literally know everything about the item and exactly what you are going to get.
@csward5380 Says:
In the past IGN has stated reviews don't really affect game sales. Not sure how true that is, but I do think companies take it way more personally than they should due to crunch and constantly being at work. Companies need to let critics do their jobs and stop blacklisting critics giving honest opinions.
@kimf3452 Says:
Negative reviews = improvement
@secla_SC Says:
I think an issue with your reviews Marques, is that you name your videos poorly. You name them "the worst product" or "this product is bad" etc, so millions of your viewers will click on your reviews not to form their own opinion on the product you are reviewing, but instead to laugh at the product and/or to see if its as bad as the name of the video suggests. My point is that poor naming of videos skews peoples opinions on a product before they've even had a chance to see it for themselves.

When I was in high school/early college I’d keep up with the tech world by doing my own research. But as I got older I had less time to do so. So now the only person I trust to keep me updated with what’s new, what’s good, and what sucks in the tech world is MKBHD
@marcinf6324 Says:
If I go to a restaurant I expect good food. If it's bad, I rate it, I don't care if the place goes bankrupt. If this happens, maybe a better one will be created
@kaisarkuanysh8932 Says:
The crucial part of developing a product is to start getting reviews and feedbacks from your customers as soon as possible, so you know what customers actually like/dislike/want from your product. And you as a an author can turn the product development into right direction as soon as possible with all those reviews and get it into success instead of burning even more investors' money on smth that people don't like.
Case 2 - product turns out to be good from version 1 and the reviews will eventually boost sales.
So either way reviews is a win-win for reviewers and developers IF the goal of the developers is to really create a good product, not just scam as much investors as possible

I've never heard of the humane AI pin until your review....and I still don't understand the point of it 😂
@tysonbala Says:
There is very few mobiles go well with all department. Mid priced phones always attract critisism. Nowadays chinese companies failed to give quality product even with excessive money.I have 7t with me for 4 years, now got chance to check 12R which way poor in build quality, it felt like cheap plastic box. Now i planned keep 7t for another year ir two. There is less premium now. Buyers are concious due to high inflation,so its normal for big brands to get heavy criticism on mobiles.
@shinyhead6548 Says:
If the review is meant to be good all the time, even when it shouldn't be, it should be called 'helping to clean after someone's ass', not reviewing
@markoffden Says:
Humane: comes up with "Steve Jobs" style video about their super-duper innovation
Me: What a lunatic will constantly talk to his sweater? Why not just use a phone app?
Rabbit: comes up with "Steve Jobs" style video about their super-duper innovation
Me: They will then come up with R2 version with bigger screen and no physical scroll and it will become just another smartphone
I am just a common user and those were my honest initial reactions to those "innovations" (I cannot find my YT comments with those, but they are there).
@iggi3985 Says:
If you don’t give honest reviews, you’re basically Unbox Therapy talking rubbish for money.
@uasakura Says:
If bad review is not allowed, than negative comments shuld not be allowed too then. Dude, its really shocking to me that you are getting heat by this
@Mankey1234 Says:
A potential option for companies is tl work with reviewers more during the prototyping phase. I see no issue having an NDA, and aaking for honest feedback. They'd make better products.

bad reviews dont kill companies. bad products do.
if a single review can kill your company it probably wasnt good enough to exist in the first place.

Bad reviews for bad products are more important than ever these days. MrWhoseTheBoss also had rather negative review of that pin. Also, Twitter is full of nutcases.

It's just that I want to encourage innovation. Close-minded reviewers tried to write off and sabotage the Samsung Z Fold, remember.

It makes me upset all these people blaming you! That you need to be more careful, sorry but that’s bs! If you been here for so long is because your honesty. I feel that people that criticized you are yours jealous they don’t have the reach you do! Keep going Marques! Love your content! ❤
@aceroalma1164 Says:
This made me subscribe to the channel. No one should be shamed for telling the truth on a bad product. Good on you bro.
@Objectivityiskey Says:
No. With the shear number of "reviewers" out there, and their inept interpretations. It's no wonder that products succeed beyond these reviews. People pretend to know things they couldn't possibly know for views. That is a hallmark of YouTube magic. It's like the sop operas of the 80's and 90's staring incompetent boobs, less the individuals that actually understand a products placement in objective reality. Those are fare and few between. It's like giving a chimp a machinegun and waiting to see what happens. It's too bad that the credentialing has been set so low. That's the postmodernist way though. Throw excrement at a wall and see what sticks.
@kavekinituivaga5850 Says:
I appreciate honest reviews, before buying a product I would like to know before hand if it is good or just garbage, and it saves me from all the shitty customer service most new company have
@jacobhuckvale5962 Says:
Release good products and you wouldn’t get swamped with bad reviews 🤷♂️
@romefox Says:
This baffles me, are there really people out there who are upset about bad reviews? Every product isnt a gem, we arent suppost to coddle corporations and consume everything without question. This is how you end up with trash, consumers should be informed and reviews enable that. There are bad takes out there but there is always a consensus as to the quality of a product. We as consumers should encourage reviews, bad or good. Not bend to the will of corporations.
@fki7559 Says:
um, youll never see this but, for bad reviews your review was positive lol. if you werent praising some of the features you were giving constructive criticism. keep it up man
@markoj428 Says:
Ayyyyy Briq50, my man is taking driving lessons
@melanieeeeeeeeee Says:
At least his reviews are constructive. Companies receiving constructive honest criticism should be invaluable to them so they can improve. I once had a professor who only gave critiques like "it's bad" and that was it. Those kind of reviews are clearly useless. Mkbhd makes clear points on what components or features fell short. That should be extremely useful to any company, regardless of the company's size.

I don't take opinions from that site, Twitter, seriously any more. The most brain dead takes always seem to come from there.
