Vassallo fundamentally sees MKBHD as "punching down", whereas I think the general consensus, and why this is controversial at all, is that MKBHD was not "punching up". I've watched his videos for many years. I can't imagine him doing a video like this for Pinephone, or another smaller company. But a company founded by 2 ex-Apple execs, with hundreds of millions of dollars in funding, and the sort of marketing Humane have come out with... that's a fair target.

> I can't imagine him doing a video like this for Pinephone Especially because they set realistic expectations - last time I saw their Pinebook product page it basically said "if you expect no dead pixels and a perfectly smooth experience please don't order this". They make it clear what their target audience is and aren't even trying to do the shiny Apple-style marketing seen from Humane. This AI pin's marketing set high expectations and the review should take that into account.
