      I may never understand why people get pissed at creators focusing on an issue they are passionate about - because that viewers specific issue wasn’t mentioned or focused on. Surely there is content that aligns with what you are seeking without forcing every other creator to monologe out every possible edge case like a US drug advert reading out side effects.

            He is promoting a product. That product possibly has what many perceive as a severe defect (flicker). He could say it doesn’t personally bother him but still compare it to other lights in the same way he compared colors in detail. Is the flicker large or small?

            I love his channel and watch every video. But that doesn’t mean I have to ignore when he misses a detail.

              Its a talking head show. He’s not a reviewer. Remember Venn diagrams? Go watch a Chris Maher video where hes looking at lumens, voltage, build quality… And then look at this. Its almost as if its completely different content for a different purpose. Within that content they CAN talk about similar things or even the same product while producing a completely different video.

                His dish washing detergent video went to great lengths to create experimental comparisons to show his brand of detergent is better than pods. He has done experiments with other products too like dehumidifiers.

                  His dish washing video went to great lenghts to explain how something works and why hot water matters with an additional comment on different products and cost not being everything. Like any continuing series he did dive deeper into various subjects… and he did suggest some things which he used or liked. That doesn’t make it a review. Venn diagram. Its an opinion not a review.

                  Point in case: was he reviewing kettles in his recent water boiling video? No. But… but he ran a timer!

          Something to that effect, yeah. I genuinely get people pointing out or raising the issue in the comments… If for no other reason than to perhaps inform the creator / community of something. But that has a far different energy than this. It almost always feels hostile.
