Ok, given that Google is playing games with review sites. What search engines don't do this?

This is why everything I've bought after 2016 is either some random Chinese brand that'll stop existing in a month, or by some amazingly well known premium company like samsung

I had never heard the word "listicle" before. I actually learned about the whole phenomenon by myself, first paying attention to how there is a huge amount of review articles about all kinds of products that one wouldn't expect to be reviewed by so many testers (instead of just buyer reviews). Then I noticed that those "reviews" don't present any actual tests that led to their conclusions. I realized that what I've been reading are pure advertisements. I find the dishonesty and cynicism of the whole phenomenon depressing. This video added nicely to what I had learned myself, and made the whole picture more clear to me.

I'm worried, because most consumers probably aren't at all aware of this phenomenon. They read "reviews" and understandably think that by doing so they have bypassed the facade of advertising and become armed with some real information to make wise buying decisions. More educations is sorely needed, and I think Linus Tech Tips did great work on it with this video.

Shame on Pure Air. Hope people boycott them

To find negative product info you MUST search using negative framing. I discovered this is essential with a range of recent investigations for large brands where entire forums of criticism ONLY showed up when I began using specific negative terms instead of “Asus strix review”. It was a night and day difference in presented data.

so you are making pure air the victim, pathetic!!

That filter looksblike it weighs like 100 grams

Athletic Greens and Huberman are a massive example of shilling shit based on prior earned scientific credit to make massive affiliate income (20% I believe).

Have you not noticed, that QC has gone out of the window with so many products, white goods, brown goods, clothes and food… all just to cut cost, or is it that to many skills have now been lost?

Also just wanted to add that an independent lab testing review not-for-profit called Choice Magazine were the force that kicked off the campaign that resulted in the world-leading Australian Consumer Law, but they are for sure taken for granted and run only on donations/subscriptions

You should see what’s happening in Australia with the choice sunscreen spf stuff. Independent company that literally exists to independently verify manufacturers claims tested a bunch of sunscreen to see what the real SPF factor is and one high end brand is losing their minds over it. I’m just waiting for the ACCC fine.

Stop posting reviews for companies – full stop. Buy and get on with it. If a company sues a customer, stop using their products immediately.

The real problem is the Chinese manufacturer that got their design and sold it cheaper on their own. This is why everyone wants to get out of China…

So I will just buy from alibaba then

if you live in aus dont buy from lttstore it will take 3 months. worse than wish.

2:30 The brand appeared out of thin air. 😉

the air purifier on amazon: "Amazon has noticed unusual reviewing activity on this product. Due to this activity, we have limited this product to verified purchase reviews." 😀

I was tasked by my friend to fix his friend's portable Ultrasound machine. Don't know why he thought I could do that, since I've never done anything like that before. Weirdly I was able to fix it. Overheating causing the display driver to freak out and corrupt the video signal. Heatsinked it on the proper part of the CPU and not the backside like they had. Created a heat deflector for the power brick. It was a real Mickey Mouse show in there. The power supply was an off the shelf 230W charger for a laptop. The brains was a Cyclone V FPGA chip, and the ultrasound probes used microHDMI connectors (two per probe with a total of 3 probes supported). Anyways, I take to FACEBOOK to warn other people to not buy this company's product at the price they were asking for it, since it was a rebranding of a generic chinese machine and this company was touting it as proprietary, etc. And there were clear fatal flaws in the design that would fall under Programmed Obsolescence. It got heated, I brought receipts to my findings, proving that the mode they had that they claimed to have 100% come up with in 2016 magically had a CLONE model that originally showed up in 2013 with the exact same OS even, slap on a custom boot logo.

Linus was battling to get into a segue pun this time.

Linus bringing out the product is a great challenge 😂😂 "cmon puroair… try me" 😂😂
