You don’t own your own reputation.
It’s never irresponsible to tell the public the truth. One might even argue that it’s irresponsible to suggest that people get in the habit of self-censorship simply because they have an audience.
- al_borland 3y agoThere are reviewers I stopped following, because it became obvious they were just reading whatever a company’s PR team sent them. They never had anything critical to say, it was a paid spokesmodel position. There is no value in that. The one thing any reviewer has is their credibility. Without that, they have nothing. MKBHD retained his credibility here, and no one should fault him for that. If he compromised on that, why would anyone follow him? His alliance should be to his viewers, doing right by them, not the companies. It’s up to the companies to make a good product that someone like Marques can confidently recommend and say good things about. So many people think people should change once they have a large platform, but they got that platform because of who they are, why would they change?
