    Things I will never do -

    Pay that much for a phone

    Click on a YT link that’s clearly an ad

        semi-succesful

        18 Million subscribers, Billions of views, has had Kobe Bryant and the US president as guests on his channel. If that’s “semi-succesful”, what on earth is your yard-stick for successful?

        I don’t always agree with his takes, but I honestly can’t think of a better or better-known tech reviewer.

          I mean, Linus Tech Tips exist. So do Jay-Z 2 cents. There are plenty of other successful tech YouTubers.

          I dunno. My local doctor has saved plenty of lives.

          Consider him more of a success than someone who reviews overpriced phones on youtube.

          Suppose how you define success depends on what you think’s important in life.

        Mr Blott was suggesting that the review is ultimately just an advertisement. I disagree with it, but each to their own.
