>> One thing that is missed is that Marques is careful about what he reviews. He is and he isn't. If he feels something is not worth it, he'll tell you. Like the crypto phone: "This is a Crypto Phone. Don’t Buy It." with a photo of him face palming: https://youtu.be/hRSMJGs0YMg?si=_sD9MA7JLeDbI0f1 https://youtu.be/hRSMJGs0YMg?si=_sD9MA7JLeDbI0f1 And who can forgot the famous "Escobar Folding Phone"? https://youtu.be/O8FJSjy3bXA?si=nfAe9tZniafBwDmc https://youtu.be/O8FJSjy3bXA?si=nfAe9tZniafBwDmc And the follow up video when the company responded to his original video: "Escobar Responds! A PSA" https://youtu.be/Ns8ydpZ5-4o?si=3tppQYwiMbSVMfb7 https://youtu.be/Ns8ydpZ5-4o?si=3tppQYwiMbSVMfb7 If you filter through his videos, there are plenty of reviews of stuff that he rips that aren't Apple products. Even his review of the Cyber Truck was brutal. And there very clearly are reviews of emerging products they rip like the crypto phone.

these aren't great buys but they're still better than the wearable device

I don't think that means he isn't careful about what he reviews - just that his selection criteria is not "I expect this to be good". Rather it's, if I had to guess, "this is part of or illustrates an interesting story in the world of technology."

  No need to guess: > But as many videos as I've made about products, there are way more products out there in the world that exist. So the process of selecting which products to even review in the first place is like an art form to itself. Most products are just, meh, they're fine. Like they exist, they get made, they're fine, whatever. So they have to reach a certain level of interest or being really good to even be considered for review. Or sometimes really, really bad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QztFpzKsdeA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QztFpzKsdeA
