Bad products get bad reviews. The reviews help the consumer by warning him not to buy a bad product.

Bad products kill companies
@leechrec Says:
It certainly helps.
@aryasingh2271 Says:
Hey man, dont even worry about it.. if the product is bad the review is going to be bad as well. We understand your point. Dont give it a second thaught. Just keep making fun videos we love it. Extra thanks for showing the price of the phones in Indian Rupee. Thanks.

Might be the best youtuber ever
@afsallais9825 Says:
Should have given atleast 2 years before giving such a bad review.

A lot of conspiracy theorists/ nut cases out there 😂
@shepherdsgamingrun Says:
If you are beholden to a company, it's advertising. If you are beholden to the end user, it's a review.

@FinMcmissile-44 Says:
Im sorry Marques but your tiny autofocus channel does not change anyones mind on what car there buying, especially when you only review cars that are in a very niche category of cars that most European people are not going to buy.
@reneperezgi Says:
Reviews are for other consumers, not the business. Bad reviews should absolutely kill bad products and if a company makes that error enough times and fail to correct, they should crumble. That should be the organic cycle.

Video title: "Do Bad Reviews Kill a Company?"
Me: "Yes. Plain and simple. Why the f*** make a video about it????"

Your reviews have saved me thousands of dollars. Thank you.

Brownlee is like Rogue from X-Men, with a bad review he steals all of a companies lifeforce which 10x his clout and youthful handsomeness
At this rate he will be bigger and more popular than Mr Beast, and achieve a youthful level of immortality

I was waiting for the last bit, and you didn't disappoint. It's incredibly difficult to bring a product to market. Just earned a new subscriber, not that you needed it 😉
@sanjaysatav Says:
It’s not the review kill the product but it’s company who is reluctant to do a reverse engineering and rectify the honest mistakes !!
@rainers1104 Says:
Think about the iPhone Air.
It’s a gorgeous phone, just not for the needs of a tech content creator.
The so honest reviews about 2-3h battery life, the permanent overheating, the terrible speaker, the outdated USBC port and the sales numbers which only Apple knows will not kill the company, but it will kill the product.
BTW the reviews about the AirPods Pro 3 followed the same scheme. Every YouTuber became an audiophile and complaint about the terrible sound. The Pro 2 were so much better although a year before they were presented with a flat and boring sound.
When I hear phrases like “my honest opinion” the trust is always gone.
@princesszelda1997 Says:
Imagine people thinking you should only give good reviews to the poor little companies. Amazing they took the company richards out of their mouths to say that
@milehigh_onthefly Says:
Bad products/services produce bad reviews - the product is the catalyst.
@youtube-algo-kickt Says:
David Pierce from the Cortex Podcasts said that if he has "surprises" in any review he first has to discuss them with the persons affected by them. That's a company guideline. A bad review can't be published without first being discussed with the CEOs of the affected companies. That isn't limied to bad things, it's limited to things "surprising" people...
@youtube-algo-kickt Says:
I sometimes use AI to ask what Marques Brownlee would choose for his team to professionally work with... Some AI's nail that task pretty perfectly...
@SASH-H4wk3y3 Says:
The product must be good, and must meet an actual market need to be successful. That doesn't guarantee success of course, but without it the chances of success are so very slight. Your example of feedback turning into improvements is exactly what a company should do when they get a string of negative reviews for a given product. And one negative review won't kill a company, but a string of negative reviews that agree can and more importantly SHOULD kill a bad product.Dude, who is that young kid pretending to be you?
@4theMac Says:
Nope, Not at All. If a product is bad, let it be said so, and if it's good the market will accept it thus growing it even much More

Bad reviews don't kill companies, bad products will.
@horationelson1840 Says:
5:58. Totally true. I didn’t even know about the powerbeats pro 2 till I saw your review. I bought them, and I’m glad I did.
You were honest about the benefits and drawbacks, because they certainly aren’t perfect. But for me they’re the best earbuds out there.

Bad reviews don't kill companies bad products do
@andydou143 Says:
The more popular, the more responsibility you will be carrying to make the review truly honest.
@melodyqueen8440 Says:
I do not write a review of any company or business. I got and possess money.

If your products sucks, you deserve to go down as a company

They don't but they should.
@alisedighi7395 Says:
the only way you can get better at something is via feedback
@Nate-g9s Says:
My guy I appreciate your videos but you missed a major point. You are one of the most popular reviewers on the planet. To act surprised that your reviews have an impact on the product and the company is silly, mr. all of my videos have around 5 million views and 20 million subscribers.
you are one of the most impactful reviewers out there, if not the most. do you not think your perspective is a little skewed?
@thedanggame6691 Says:
Good and honest reviews help promoting good company while help the community realise and avoid the bad ones to save money
@navixaxa5023 Says:
It is the same people who're blaming Marques for a 'Bad Review', that are always advocating for Hate Speech Laws.
In the end, they want to control your Speech.
Free Speech, be it a Tech Review, or saying 'Migrants are bad', or 'Islamic Rape Gangs Raped Quarter of a Million White British Girls' is intolerable to them.
@zerokall Says:
the company makes a product and apart from the fact that it is not completely finished, it would still be expensive and useless compared to many others that exist on the market that cost less and then someone tests the product and finds the obvious and tells people this and somehow it is not the company's fault but the people's? I understood...
@bielpope766 Says:
Marques watches swimming videos, that was not in my bingo card.
@Romashka_Sov Says:
Marques tries to talk his way out of a situation for 13 minutes and 27 seconds XD
@DaltonSchuster2006 Says:
This thought process of "dont release a bad review because it can hurt the company" is US corporate brainrot
@512px Says:
thumbnail is "blows up product with mind"
@NerdParaphernalia Says:
Unless they put way too much money into one product or a line of products that end up a being extremely bad, no... Even bad product can sell well. They have to prove them accordingly and put them in the right place.
Like the empty package that tells you not to buy it because it is a scam.
Or the $5 brown bag of toys from the dollar store.
The restaurants that insult you as an aesthetic.
Plenty of bad companies/products and none of that is what kills them.
@gregd6022 Says:
The REAL Q is does one reviewer actually know what he's talking about to warrant his influence.. not usually..
@ishestora Says:
Complimentary reviews do not save bad companies
@electronicintruder9392 Says:
I always look forward to your reviews and respect what you and David Imel have to say because I think you are both tech knowledge tanks. It kills me, though, when you use the phrase "out the box." It sounds so ghetto like it is being delivered from a guy holding a blunt standing outside a bodega. It hurts my ears and kills the flow of your presentation. Curious as to why you use this phrase when you are so polished in every other way.
@nicasiohimoud6378 Says:
Peace
@mikerzisu9508 Says:
This is exactly what most people are looking for.. honesty. Because a good portion of the people looking at review content are seriously considering purchasing the product, and in this case an extremely expensive product. They need to know how the product performs and what they are in for if they pull the trigger. I watch reviews like this all the time for this reason, but admittedly also watch them because I am just curious about what the product is.
