This seems kind of weird to say, but I wonder how much of the demise of the "old school tech reviewers" is the massive quality improvement in many/most categories coupled with a massive decrease in price as well. A "good" 1991 TV was a 27" that cost about $1400 (in 2017 dollars) Today $1,400 will get you a 65" 4k Curved TV that weighs less, consumes less energy and (to someone from 1991) would have what appears to have a sci-fi level of image quality. The fact that it also has apparently nearly everything on demand for the price of a single movie rental is likely also astonishing. I just feel like it's hard to walk into a BestBuy and get what you could call a "bad" TV for $500.
