Louis Rossman discuses many design flaws made by Apple over the years throughout their entire catalog.

This video also came out a few days after I praise the Macbook Pro series for being higher quality then their competition as well. 😂 🫣

    Influencers only get paid if they do and say what the sponsor paying them wants them to do and say

    I mean that is patently untrue. LTT says negative things about Nvidia on a regular basis and they still sponsor him. And Intel. And probably AMD at some point.

    Other reviewers like J2C straight-up stop accepting sponsorships from companies like ASUS.

      I also don’t think LTT ever calls anyone out about anything, ever. He’s made noises about ethics and sponsorship, but he’s never actively gone after a big sponsor, except maybe kinda ASUS and I’d bet that’s because everyone else did and he thought it’d be a bad look if he didn’t.

      You mentioned nVidia, and I’ll mention what happened to Hardware Unboxed when they didn’t toe the marketing line. Sure, sure, they “apologized” after public outcry, but the point is they absolutely went after someone who didn’t stay in line with what they wanted the message to be.

        …what? Have you ever watched the channel? He has entire videos dedicated to calling out a wide variety of OEMs. Apple, Intel, Nvidia, Google, MS, etc. etc.

        He calls out more OEMs than any I’ve seen.

        Steve of course is more thorough but LTT will complain all the livelong day.

          LTT

          Fair enough; I haven’t watched LTT in a long, long time since his tech clown gimmick just irritates me, but he definitely used to be all over his sponsors, and not in a good way.
