You’ve made a leap that I am somehow making a comment on the accuracy of his review.
I have no idea about Humane’s product or whether MKBHD’s review is accurate.
I’m simply making the point that “The worst product I’ve reviewed… For Now” is a bit clickbaity.
Ie it is specifically worded in a way that encourages clicks.
- FumblingBear 3y agoI somewhat agree that it's __somewhat__ clickbaity, but the other important part of something being clickbait is "being typically deceptive, sensationalized, or otherwise misleading". [0] I'm sure there are some definitions of clickbait that don't require that, but at least colloquially with people I talk to, it's assumed that clickbait necessarily engages in deceptive behavior where the content is not aligned with the title / thumbnail. In this case, it's certainly designed to draw attention and get a viewer to click, but it's also the thesis of the video. He literally considers it to be the worst product he's ever reviewed, and thinks that they may iterate on it to improve the functionality in the future.

- DVassallo 3y agoThe title is opposite of clickbait. It’s so sensational that millions of people will stop at the headline and not watch the review.
