Great video. Obviously for me it wasn't news 😂 I've seen all this stuff before, but you guys did a great job of summarizing WHY some of these things are so problematic - LS
Haha.. you're the worst at doing this tho. And it's a shame. I can't really blame you though. I wish companies finished and perfected products so that reviewers could speak honestly about them.
Love your transparency! Hope you guys don't get much backlash from telling the truth...bullies will be bullies! I can't believe that these companies don't ask you for permission or even pay you for your quotes or using your content! Meanwhile they cry bloody murder if anyone did the same with their content!
We thank you for not selling your audience to companies. We all work hard for our money and appreciate an honest review. Hats off to you guys, never change.
@Gabry well I mean that's true but a lot of people work low paying jobs and can't afford to be led to the wrong investments. Having non-skewed reviews of a product is very valuable and is something you can't say for a lot of tech youtubers.
Thank you for speaking up about misinformation and manipulation it’s truly a factor for the negativity and misery that drives life. However, we should also be able to reflect and take responsibility for our own actions. If the goal is telling the truth then “say what you mean and mean what you say”. Don’t write a thumb nail that highlights a positive connotation. Impact is always greater than intentions. It’s one thing to take something out of context during a full conversation or video it’s another to put a one sentence title “best phone ever” and expect someone to think maybe there’s more to this sentence in the video. Just saying if I was a reviewer I’d have have to complete with a attention catching hook for views or telling the truth and dealing with the consequences. My Thumb nail would be ie. “The new iPhone, cool new features but same old design” this highlights my best and worst impressions of the product.
"With great power comes great responsibility.." You guys are proving it. Great work as always. People are gonna keep these points in mind for future launches. :)
This is EXACTLY why I buy my own phones so I can call these companies out on thier BS! Nobody can EVER say they seen a Samsung video from me without me talking about EVERYTHING I don't like at the start of the video.
Arun, I love the content you put together. The effort put behind making a video of such quality is really really appreciated specially during these times when the internet is full of manipulative crap. Thank you and keep it up mate. God Bless
Not to mention his "Rick-rolling" mastery. In all seriousness, he (and MKBHD) are the go-to source for quality reviews. I only wish he would learn that tele-lenses are great, but what do you expect form an urban-hipster, he probably doesn't know that small and great tits also come in flocks, not just pairs.
What you are sharing boils down to trust. A short story from a different angle: I was an engineer for a start-up back in 2001. We had a box that supported all types of traffic over the Internet using Asynchronous Transfer Mode--a popular backbone transport back then. I flew to Dallas to do a "bake off" with the top five competitors and came out on top (and not by a small margin either). These tests were performed in front of a top magazine writer and one other person operating the test gear. I was soon on the phone with our Marketing lead after the published article had pronounced the #2 competitor as the winner. I fell out of my chair when the writer unabashedly admitted that a steak dinner and small gifts, among other things, was all we had needed to garner his favor. Had I not heard it with my own ears, I would have assumed that someone had simply had sour grapes with the outcome. Were you in the telecom biz back then and I told you the name of the magazine, it would put you in your seat. Since then I have been very skeptical about all technology rags.
hahaha. he just make himself clear that he does that in a separate video. just imagine if he would tell the same thing in his reviews? well, he won't. It does not describe their honesty.
The cynic in me believes that even "tell-all" videos like this can work in favour of big tech companies: we now see these two reviewers as more trustworthy because of their candour, hence we're more likely to trust any subsequent reviews from them. Take everything with a healthy pinch of salt
the counter point is if they just did this scam without saying anything people would buy it up even more. (the whole reason the scam exists to begin with)
Yep even though they're dancing the same tune. It's like "it's all a scam and we're on it... but we told you about it so tough... now click our affiliate links!"
That mock trailer was expertly crafted, especially since I've seen most of the actual reviews they came from. Props to the editor for cementing exactly how opinions can not just be guided, but straight up misled with some simple editing tricks and restrictions. It's really important to use reviews as a supplementary opinion, but to think for yourself and do your own research and even personal testing in person.
FINALLY someone said it. Most Clip-Sharers would be afraid to say the truth in fear of being blacklisted by the brand so if there was someone that could do this video, it had to be Arun & Marques. The 2 Kings of Tech. You speak for all of us. Hope to see a positive change in the future! ♥️
But u guy...😂😂, U didn't forget the word " finally", it's almost everywhere in yo video thumbnails and the whole video speech..😂😂, especially when talking about Samsung..😅, but I like yo videos ssung will always be my favorite....
Reviewing a product sourced from the open market is always better than reviewing a manufacturer's sample. Happily for us, our reviewer has the resources to buy everything and anything. Less endowed Clip-Sharers cannot and are dependent on access to samples.
I love this video! It's time these things were said. I just wish you guys would've gone a step further, by agreeing that you would no longer abide by or agree to manufacturer terms that set the stage for consumers being misled. For example, if you believe that a phone is an incredible piece of hardware, but already know the software is crap, please don't make a video hyping us up on the hardware. A lot of us will go out and preorder based on those initial seemingly positive reviews. Or at a bare minimum, give us STRONG warnings to not buy yet, and wait until the second video drops so we can get the full picture. Unless some of you big dogs start taking a stand, these abusive practices will just continue and grow.
Awesome breakdown. There is one more factor: Micro-Influencers. While it's great that brands are including smaller creators, micro-influencers tend to be super enthusiastic about products from big brands and they tend to do multiple videos which usually lean on the positive side. The brand gets a flood of content across a sustained period of time and the creator gets the views. This is especially true if it's a paid-for collaboration.
@Rita 25 y.o - check my vidéó Considering they both still do showcases on their devices, I wouldn't go that far. It's a basic call out and that's it. Making sure the public has some clue about what's happening but even as big as they are, they can't afford to actually take such a solid moral stance to say "Fix this shit or GTFO". For the large companies, they lose a bit of exposure but there will always be someone morally bankrupt enough to work with them. The sad truth is, there's always someone out there shady enough to do what someone else won't and companies like this thrive on that fact.
No shade to Arun and Marques as I would presume they’re successful outside of Clip-Share. But what I’m understanding is that, this particular content is fitting now (vs. back then) as these two have pretty much achieved or capitalized and have nothing to lose at this point…? (Please correct if I’m wrong)
@Isaac Ong They can post as many videos as they want. If they wanted they could milk the first impressions into a short video focusing on one tiny aspect for every day until the second embargo is up or they can wait until after the second embargo and make one long video compiling the first impressions as well as the full review so they can cover everything in one go. The downside to only making a single video after the second video for content creators is it gives the false impression that they're behind with the times, that they aren't privy to certain information, they don't receive the devices ahead of time and can lead to less committed or attentive viewers opting to watch a different tech reviewer instead and there's always going to be someone willing to play into the companies' hands so they can get the views
This was such an awesome video. Really love seeing a behind the scenes look at how these brand integrations work. Would love to see similar things going forward. Particularly with more collabs with MKBHD. You guy's both produce such awesome tech stuff. It's really an absolute masterclass of presentation and cinematography that adds a huge level of professionalism and is much appreciated.
Wow. I never knew about this. This is the level of honesty we expect from Clip-Sharers! I mean I honestly never realised all of this... it's made me realise how we really can't trust anything we hear on the internet without looking into it... and it's quite terrifying how these big tech companies are manipulating people... I guess it's become so normalised now that not many people realise the truth about this.
This is the best video I have watched in awhile, thank you for saying the truth. And I love the collaboration both of you have always been my best reviewer
@matewut no one else is talking about it because it's not being brought up fool! Hahaha we've never of this before so that's justification of what no one is talking about it moron. You're not even referring to the same video, check the top phones of 2020 do you need a link to that? Again you want links to cgtn? Check the dates of when Huawei was banned and match up those videos from state propaganda and his and they're the same. He also praised Xiaomi for being some magical company who came out of nowhere as if they were hard working when really they just received all the support of the Chinese government once Huawei got shut down. Yes some things he absolutely can't defend like saying Huaweis foldable is good, but he did praise it to some extent trying to say the outside fold was a better system. Okay you're not a CCP troll fair enough, but your ignorance on his propaganda doesn't prove it's existence. You want just one link and that will shit you up and make you say I'm right? Is that correct. Please reply yes and I'll get it for you big dog. Oh wait you've already stated that he makes thousands of videos hahaha and that he's bound to have some mistakes or coincidences, like parroting Chinese state propaganda consistently is a coincidence hahaha. And thousands? If he uploads twice a week for a year which doesn't seem to be the case but if so then that's 100 videos in one year. He would have to have been doing that consistently twice a week for 10 years to get to a thousand videos, so you're pretty off on that. No he can't get away with just saying Xiaomi is better than apple, google, and Samsung. But it's called salami slicing, where you cut just a little at a time over a long period of time where you start to say, yeah Apple, Google, and Samsung have horrible business practices, without even mentioning that the Chinese brands have THE ABSOLUTE WORST BUSINESS PRACTICE BECAUSE THEYRE RAN BY AN OPPRESSIVE AUTHORITATIVE COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT! You lose bro. Either way you lose. You and mrwhosethecommunist.
This is actually a serious matter which should be put into account. I appreciate the effort and honesty you guys took to create this video and pass a huge amount of information about what's happening behind. This is why people trust your opinions.
Not surprising. I guess we all expected it, and as the years went on, we all knew it. Thanks for your honesty. Yours and MKBHDs are one of the few channels I continued trusting for my reviews. I hope your message will have an impact. Big tech companies are manipulating on such a big scale it should be illegal.
This is the final battle of collaborations! Both of you working synergistically together to talk about the egregious behavior of cell phone companies and deceptive practices. We need more collaborations like this, most definitely! 🙏👍
Great video, nicely summarized. That is why I always recommend your channel. You don't just agree with what the audience thinks, you make them think. The two of you are a great combination.
Excellent video!!! Keep up the great work! Video transitions were smooth, and this was an interesting insight to a topic that previously, I didn't think about. Moreover, this collaboration was much appreciated!
Thanks guys, for your honesty and for exposing this disease that seems to be spreading into all parts of life... all of the deceit and lies and manipulation from the "big guys" with so much money, influence and power :( You guys have my admiration and respect (and trust) for sticking to your integrity and standing up for justice and truth.
When the only 2 Tech Clip-Sharers @mkbhd @Mrwhosetheboss I refer for real good content Collaborate and give such an awesome and genuine video. Holy guacamole. I can watch this video on loop.
Great video, can’t stress that enough. I would add that while this is specifically about the tech industry it also applies to any areas where money, influence & power are concerned. Media ,government, medicine,etc. This is an issue for the world in a plethora of areas.
Of course, they conveniently left out the most important one - early access, and there’s no way they’d give that up for the right company. They make most of their views off of early apple access
I can’t believe I’m spending so much quality time watching this video!! I’m so proud having those bois in my living room on a glass box travelling at lightspeed through cables. Fu** yeah!! I share your passion for tech so much!! And of course I do my best supporting our fellow, starting off and growing people out there. Much love, I’ll be there, somewhere on the planet being proud lf sharing it with yall.
In last few years you have fallen into trap for same things making the videos unwatchable. I miss old Jon, if you are reading please see the comments here.
Nevsr forget that mrwhosetheboss uses his channel to push Chinese Communist Party propaganda, praising the state ran Chinese brands while taking every opportunity to trash Samsung, google, and Apple.
I like videos like these....it's like what reviewers like you feels when they get an product for review.....wow an eye opener. Great video....you and MKBHD are doing great job....in a sense a bit towards society in educating about the topic that concern you and us in general.
The exclusive interview is not really a scam, I mean celebrities go on talk shows to promote their movies or music all the time and it’s a win win. No one expects the host to point out the negative of the movies either. If you want high profile people on your channel to boost your views and subscription, you can’t call them out for wanting to promote their products.
Yet ironically he was sponsored by Oneplus to show off the Nord CE, and he manipulated his fans by making the phone sound so great at just because of the hardware. And he’s mislead his fans about the Exynos 2100 vs Snapdragon 888 with mediocre benchmarks such as Antutu, and again acting like the difference is so big.
Ohhhh boy! Nice and detailed… can confirm the ridiculousness of multiple video embargo’s by one brand 🤦🏽♂️ Though in my personal experience an American company is better at allowing freedom within a video. Only issue was same embargo for everyone else.
Minus their take on Pocophone F1 and Google Pixel 6 maybe. No mentions on the limited US bands on the former or mention of the abysmal configuration of the modem on the latter.
@Sky's Unknown Heroes Yes the same Linus who bashed intel irrespective of them sponsoring. And the same Linus who made a video mentioning Nvidia's CEO and how he hates his garbage claims.
When it comes to the embargo's, I'm actually wondering if there's any legal basis for it. If you break the embargo, can there be legal action? Is it just about being blacklisted? I do remember hearing something about this for games (I think). Is it because these reviews happen before the official release of the product?
Thank you for your internet integrity...your interngrity. I very much appreciate honesty especially in an environment where anyone can pretend to be anyone.
Amazing video. Really nice to speak up. However, it is understandable that companies want to protect their years of hardwork and resources. Take for example, a slightly biased reviewer or even an unbiased reviewer making negative comments about a newly released gadget. It's easier to sit at a place and make a video than organising all factors of production involved in making a new tech gadget (idea and innovative approaches included). This cuts across all sectors, whether tech, health, art etc. and, in general. If you are gonna be critiquing, let it be constructive criticism.
It seems that the struggle is the same everywhere; even up in the stratosphere! Refreshing to see leaders taking the lead on this. It takes guts to stand up to big corporations, even if you are two of the most influential tech reviewers on the planet. Well done, thank you and more power to you!
Elect a socialist. End capitalism. Capitalistm requires your dishonour and abilty to ignore abuse and actively manipulate your fellow men in order to survive. The game continues pace until we destroy each other and live as an island of one.
That's why we have some youtubers that do honest reviews about the newly launched gadget that some big company post because we can compare it to the other devices similar to the one that they are reviewing like smartwatch or phone accessories.
@BooBooYup they're cheaper with similar specs because the Chinese Communist Party enforces forced tech transfer where foreign companies I.E. Samsung and Apple have to "partner" with Chinese brands basically giving their technology to them in order to sell in China. Those companies who are all are state ran and backed so it's not multiple private companies going against each other it's every foreign company against an authoratative oppressive government. While the foreign companies spend the time and money on R&D the Chinese brands just steal and copy, which is why it's cheaper, as well as many people are under slave labor, you can see what they're doing in xin jiang. Mrwhosetheboss didn't do this, but it's not that hard to see what's happening, so he's a sellout and spreading their propaganda. facts.
Hey Arun. Thank you and Marques for this video! Perhaps you could show people the single most important feature any smartphone could possibly have, and what it's truly capable of: Desktop Mode/DeX/ReadyFor etc. I sent you a link on Instagram and email showing my own surprising results (and by all means, include any quirks you find; they do exist).
This is why before buying a device, I watch Jerry rig and your reviews/thoughts on the device as well as doing my own research. A lot of these devices are getting way too expensive to just blindly upgrade without any research.
@PSYCHO @PSYCHO for people like us that's a whole lot of Money U can live your whole life with 1million$ here, where I live, that's 74000000 Rs. You can live a luxurious life, that's a lot of money, I don't know about you that's just my opinion
@Ko- Jap Nope. I wasn't born with a silver spoon at all. I was born in the U.S. but I also know first-hand what living in a 3rd world poor country is like. $1,800 ISN'T rich at all. Not even $1 Million = rich. 😂😂😂 Change your poor negative mentality or you'll be broke until the day you die.
Do consider sharing this message, so it reaches the people it needs to reach 👊

The Segway to our sponsor
Haha.. you're the worst at doing this tho. And it's a shame.
I can't really blame you though.
I wish companies finished and perfected products so that reviewers could speak honestly about them.
Ltt
Always know it all...Linus Tech Tips....🤣 like you knew how to use linux...amateurs....
Omg ltt
Love your transparency! Hope you guys don't get much backlash from telling the truth...bullies will be bullies! I can't believe that these companies don't ask you for permission or even pay you for your quotes or using your content! Meanwhile they cry bloody murder if anyone did the same with their content!
We thank you for not selling your audience to companies. We all work hard for our money and appreciate an honest review. Hats off to you guys, never change.
What do you mean never change they literally gave examples of them being manipulated!
@Gabry well I mean that's true but a lot of people work low paying jobs and can't afford to be led to the wrong investments. Having non-skewed reviews of a product is very valuable and is something you can't say for a lot of tech youtubers.
not everyone works hard for their money
Thank you for speaking up about misinformation and manipulation it’s truly a factor for the negativity and misery that drives life. However, we should also be able to reflect and take responsibility for our own actions. If the goal is telling the truth then “say what you mean and mean what you say”.

"With great power comes great responsibility.." You guys are proving it. Great work as always.
People are gonna keep these points in mind for future launches. :)
@Krishna Kumar How do you know that? I don’t think he’s ever stated what religion he is. I might be wrong, just asking.
Arun is Hindu, please support him...
This is EXACTLY why I buy my own phones so I can call these companies out on thier BS!
Nobody can EVER say they seen a Samsung video from me without me talking about EVERYTHING I don't like at the start of the video.
Man, you got scary unboxing knives and a ferocious feline beast with white shoes, I doubt companies would even DARE to limit your opinions. 😉
I like your phone reviews. And also mrwhostheboss
You just got my sub
I was looking for your comment since you're the realest #salute
That's why flossy is boss 👏🏽
Dude I generally didn’t know how much this guy cares about us, props to this guy!
@e Bro so are you -_______-
ur more than a year late
Arun, I love the content you put together. The effort put behind making a video of such quality is really really appreciated specially during these times when the internet is full of manipulative crap. Thank you and keep it up mate. God Bless
Hey abdool, he is a Hindu Guy.. no need of your appreciation
Not to mention his "Rick-rolling" mastery.
In all seriousness, he (and MKBHD) are the go-to source for quality reviews. I only wish he would learn that tele-lenses are great, but what do you expect form an urban-hipster, he probably doesn't know that small and great tits also come in flocks, not just pairs.
My coming soon (tm) feature was the face id unlock with Pixel 6. It never came and now they say the Pixel 7 will get it. Let's see...
What you are sharing boils down to trust. A short story from a different angle: I was an engineer for a start-up back in 2001.

@Андрей Болконский noone is a saint tbf
When ATM (also known as Broadband ISDN in my company) and IP were duking it off. I remember those days.
Don't trust anyone. I think these guys aren't saint too. People will do everything for a profit.
This is the level of honesty we expect from our youtubers
hahaha. he just make himself clear that he does that in a separate video. just imagine if he would tell the same thing in his reviews? well, he won't. It does not describe their honesty.
i feel bad for you if you really expect youtubers to be honest lol
@Shashank Reddy JP Nagar
@Abhinav Bhat yav area bro?
@Avinash B R It didn't take me long to realize when online - Trust Nothing. It is all whatever someone else wants you think..
The cynic in me believes that even "tell-all" videos like this can work in favour of big tech companies: we now see these two reviewers as more trustworthy because of their candour, hence we're more likely to trust any subsequent reviews from them. Take everything with a healthy pinch of salt

Except mkbhd literally says that you should do your own research before buying the product
Yep even though they're dancing the same tune. It's like "it's all a scam and we're on it... but we told you about it so tough... now click our affiliate links!"
Interesting thoughts, I was thinking the same thing
Props to these guys for still giving us the facts and turning down offers to stay unbiased
Just because they admit to it doesn't absolve them or mean they're unbiased
Thank you for this. Had no idea you guys were being jostled by these companies. It's deplorable.
That mock trailer was expertly crafted, especially since I've seen most of the actual reviews they came from.

Hey Creators! The people SUPPORT you! Not them companies
Reviewing a product sourced from the open market is always better than reviewing a manufacturer's sample. Happily for us, our reviewer has the resources to buy everything and anything. Less endowed Clip-Sharers cannot and are dependent on access to samples.
This got more likes than mrwhoistheboss's comment
In the recent video or urs i feel like u r being highly paid from samsung to insult apple
The best honest video of yours.
I can't believe how these big companies can be so crooked, does no one at the top have any sort of conscience anymore?
@Jabbo I really wish it wasn't so. At the end of the day it's detracting the value of their product in a sense
Consience is a weakness in business world
I love this video! It's time these things were said. I just wish you guys would've gone a step further, by agreeing that you would no longer abide by or agree to manufacturer terms that set the stage for consumers being misled. For example, if you believe that a phone is an incredible piece of hardware, but already know the software is crap, please don't make a video hyping us up on the hardware.

I like this guy, his videos are entertaining and feel honest, and the quality of video is incredible. Keep it up and have a great day!

that's why Google services are too toxic!
crying mad people!
@Isaac Ong They can post as many videos as they want.

Wow. I never knew about this. This is the level of honesty we expect from Clip-Sharers!

This is the best video I have watched in awhile, thank you for saying the truth. And I love the collaboration both of you have always been my best reviewer
Never thought a 2 huge tech Clip-Sharer collab would manipulate me into watching this video
Self serving!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

But it's called salami slicing, where you cut just a little at a time over a long period of time where you start to say, yeah Apple, Google, and Samsung have horrible business practices, without even mentioning that the Chinese brands have THE ABSOLUTE WORST BUSINESS PRACTICE BECAUSE THEYRE RAN BY AN OPPRESSIVE AUTHORITATIVE COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT! You lose bro. Either way you lose. You and mrwhosethecommunist.
@NightlySpectre atleast his humour is good but then there's you half karen and half shit
@IGZIA BEHER atleast he stopped, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is actually a serious matter which should be put into account. I appreciate the effort and honesty you guys took to create this video and pass a huge amount of information about what's happening behind. This is why people trust your opinions.
Not surprising. I guess we all expected it, and as the years went on, we all knew it.
Thanks for your honesty. Yours and MKBHDs are one of the few channels I continued trusting for my reviews.
I hope your message will have an impact. Big tech companies are manipulating on such a big scale it should be illegal.
You two have balls of carbon fibre.
Respect to both of you. 💥
""Samsung never quotes out of context" arun from mrwhosetheboss" samsung
We did a video like this in the past, but you and Marques did a way better job. Really important video, great job guys!
I remember that video!
mka bahd
This blew up like a note 7
2 more.
yes.
You guys are really helping know about some of the ins and outs of the tech industry, thank you.
This is the final battle of collaborations! Both of you working synergistically together to talk about the egregious behavior of cell phone companies and deceptive practices. We need more collaborations like this, most definitely! 🙏👍
Great video, nicely summarized. That is why I always recommend your channel. You don't just agree with what the audience thinks, you make them think. The two of you are a great combination.
Finally someone with no BS in legit content. Thank you for being so genuine and authentic.
Everyone: "Name the greatest collab in history."
Mrwhosetheboss: "Say no more"
@OMGLARRY ! you just want attention to get shout out
@Profile അടിച്ചുപോയി✓ your logic will be better when you grow up
@OMGLARRY ! what I should be jealous about bruh that you didn't even watch video till the end to write like psychopath that you are second?
@Profile അടിച്ചുപോയി✓ bruh
@water my logic will make sense when you grown up
Excellent video!!! Keep up the great work! Video transitions were smooth, and this was an interesting insight to a topic that previously, I didn't think about. Moreover, this collaboration was much appreciated!
Thanks for an enlightening video. I showed it to my marketing class to point out that things aren’t always what they seems to be.
if you don't want brands to use your video titles out of context then stop using click baity titles
Thanks guys, for your honesty and for exposing this disease that seems to be spreading into all parts of life... all of the deceit and lies and manipulation from the "big guys" with so much money, influence and power :( You guys have my admiration and respect (and trust) for sticking to your integrity and standing up for justice and truth.
When the only 2 Tech Clip-Sharers @mkbhd @Mrwhosetheboss I refer for real good content Collaborate and give such an awesome and genuine video. Holy guacamole. I can watch this video on loop.
How many times have you watched it
@Parikshit Harmilapi Done. I am considering this...
@DacroMax YT Thats Awesome brother.
Kannidiga bro
TechAltar
I'm really grateful for all the effort you put into your channels. I want to give a huge thank you! 🎉
Appreciate the honesty. We need more reviewers like you!
Thank you for keeping tech companies in check! Yours and MKB's voices are very powerful.
Great video, can’t stress that enough. I would add that while this is specifically about the tech industry it also applies to any areas where money, influence & power are concerned. Media ,government, medicine,etc. This is an issue for the world in a plethora of areas.
I guess learning about these things should be part of “surviving the modern information era” manual.
Bang on point with this - good stuff Arun 👍
Hey cap chap @The Tech Chap
Of course, they conveniently left out the most important one - early access, and there’s no way they’d give that up for the right company. They make most of their views off of early apple access
Dude love your neighborhood but maybe try changing your microphone hum? 👍🏼✌🏼
I love you tech chap
Love your channel dude. Really appreciate how thorough and professional your reviews are.
I appreciate that a lot of Clip-Sharers are standing up to all the shady business practices going on in pretty much every type of genre
I love these cross channel collaborations. Great information on this subject.
Activision Blizzard invented this they actually trademarked Soon.
I can’t believe I’m spending so much quality time watching this video!! I’m so proud having those bois in my living room on a glass box travelling at lightspeed through cables. Fu** yeah!! I share your passion for tech so much!! And of course I do my best supporting our fellow, starting off and growing people out there. Much love, I’ll be there, somewhere on the planet being proud lf sharing it with yall.
Incredibly well said and all very true.
In last few years you have fallen into trap for same things making the videos unwatchable. I miss old Jon, if you are reading please see the comments here.
You shouldn't be talking about this Jon. You are the king of manipulation. We all remember the intel videos 😭😭😭😭
@Tito Vong lol
Sponsored by Intel? 🤐🤭
@Robloxian from Robloxity
+1 new sub for this video alone. Thanks for creating this - LOVE this type of transparency!!
So informative and important! TRANSPARENCY IS EVERYTHING IN TECH
Goes to show how powerful MKBHD and Mrwhosetheboss really are when it comes to this space. I appreciate the honesty.
These two guys together = my relationship goals.
Great informative video hope it shine some light on everybody, especially the buyers.
Nevsr forget that mrwhosetheboss uses his channel to push Chinese Communist Party propaganda, praising the state ran Chinese brands while taking every opportunity to trash Samsung, google, and Apple.
Doge to the mars when?
Salut! :))
I saw this when it was 45 seconds ago then clicked it then 10 minutes
Exactly 👏👏👏💀

Imagine having so much clout in your industry that you can out the heavyweights in this way 😂 have to respect the balls on these two
SmartPhone Companies after watching this video: I did a mistake giving phones to these two tattletales
I like videos like these....it's like what reviewers like you feels when they get an product for review.....wow an eye opener. Great video....you and MKBHD are doing great job....in a sense a bit towards society in educating about the topic that concern you and us in general.
The exclusive interview is not really a scam, I mean celebrities go on talk shows to promote their movies or music all the time and it’s a win win. No one expects the host to point out the negative of the movies either. If you want high profile people on your channel to boost your views and subscription, you can’t call them out for wanting to promote their products.
That is not the same at all compared to what he talked about and the examples he gave in the video.
bot
Good job boys. finally someone said it!
Who even are you?
Sir Naj kamusta?
@Tyrone Jingleton III fake check mark with butthurt. Get a life
@Tyrone Jingleton III how do I get that fake checkmark too? It just looks cool :)
Yet ironically he was sponsored by Oneplus to show off the Nord CE, and he manipulated his fans by making the phone sound so great at just because of the hardware. And he’s mislead his fans about the Exynos 2100 vs Snapdragon 888 with mediocre benchmarks such as Antutu, and again acting like the difference is so big.
Very nice. Subscribed just for your honesty 😀 thanks for keep us at the center of your videos and not falling for these gimmicks
You always have the best content. Mad respect to you!
Thanks for seeing the good in the world and being a part of it, brilliant channel too your reviews are top notch. Happy 2022 enjoy it!
This is a much needed video. Thankyou both for being honest!
Ohhhh boy! Nice and detailed… can confirm the ridiculousness of multiple video embargo’s by one brand 🤦🏽♂️ Though in my personal experience an American company is better at allowing freedom within a video. Only issue was same embargo for everyone else.
Sugoma
Peepee poopoo
Great content. I did love it. That’s what we need. Less cheating more honestly people.
well done mate for having the balls to tell the TRUTH!
Hopefully others will follow your example and risk all to do the same. 🏆
Thanks for letting us know about the subtle and not so subtle ways tech companies are influencing Clip-Sharers. Very interesting.
Thoroughly informative but not overextended, brilliant!! Thank you!!!
No wonder why Marques and Arun is still the big dawgs on Clip-Share. Their transparency about reviews makes them so good.
Minus their take on Pocophone F1 and Google Pixel 6 maybe. No mentions on the limited US bands on the former or mention of the abysmal configuration of the modem on the latter.
@SAZID Do you have a problem with him making money?
His ads don't even compromise the topic of his videos.
But marques videos are fking boring
@Anirudh Korapole PR stunt speech is easy without action, GamersNexus does a better job at it, with actions too
@Sky's Unknown Heroes Yes the same Linus who bashed intel irrespective of them sponsoring. And the same Linus who made a video mentioning Nvidia's CEO and how he hates his garbage claims.
This is the two honest guys i always watch their review well done
When it comes to the embargo's, I'm actually wondering if there's any legal basis for it. If you break the embargo, can there be legal action? Is it just about being blacklisted?
I do remember hearing something about this for games (I think). Is it because these reviews happen before the official release of the product?
Thank you for your internet integrity...your interngrity. I very much appreciate honesty especially in an environment where anyone can pretend to be anyone.
Nice internet integrity
Man I love how they just revealed every trick in the book so that they can aware Public about these schemes
Arun: "What do you expect me to do for 10 minutes?!"
Nothing: We chose our brand name for a reason
good one !!🤣🤣
LMFAO
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well you did it there
Haha
Two of the honest Clip-Sharers taking the tech world forward with honesty and Trust of consumers .
Kudos and cheers to you
Amazing video. Really nice to speak up. However, it is understandable that companies want to protect their years of hardwork and resources. Take for example, a slightly biased reviewer or even an unbiased reviewer making negative comments about a newly released gadget. It's easier to sit at a place and make a video than organising all factors of production involved in making a new tech gadget (idea and innovative approaches included).
This cuts across all sectors, whether tech, health, art etc. and, in general. If you are gonna be critiquing, let it be constructive criticism.
Huge respect for speaking truth against powerful Tech companies
Glad to see MKBHD stepping up to the BS of these companies.
It seems that the struggle is the same everywhere; even up in the stratosphere! Refreshing to see leaders taking the lead on this. It takes guts to stand up to big corporations, even if you are two of the most influential tech reviewers on the planet. Well done, thank you and more power to you!
Those guys are fearless
@SavageJay capitalism is disgusting. The abuse can only get worse to maintain the declining rate of profits. Elect a socialist end capitalism.
Elect a socialist. End capitalism. Capitalistm requires your dishonour and abilty to ignore abuse and actively manipulate your fellow men in order to survive. The game continues pace until we destroy each other and live as an island of one.
Dhaga bhai abi apki hi videos dekh kr aya hun yhan.. Quality content. I'm your oldest subscriber
That's why we have some youtubers that do honest reviews about the newly launched gadget that some big company post because we can compare it to the other devices similar to the one that they are reviewing like smartwatch or phone accessories.
Who came here again after mkbhd’s 2021 rewind ?
A very informative video, thank you so much for sharing your experience!
I love how this guy's vids are both informative and funny. Thanks mate.
Good to know that you're one of the good ones, who doesn't fool or trick there audience....and actually tell the honest truth of the product
Wow! I had theorized this happens, but I had no idea that it was on this scale. Thank you guys for keeping it 💯 honest
I would love to see more collaboration between you two guys👍😃.
A TON of Tech Clip-Sharers can’t criticize the products in the video because the companies will be furious with them.
This is so much more interesting than tech device reviews. Subscribed!
This takes a lot of courage. Props to you and MKBHD for this amazing video. Thank you for enlighten us
@Knight King I searched everywhere, but I cannot see find a damn to give.
@BooBooYup they're cheaper with similar specs because the Chinese Communist Party enforces forced tech transfer where foreign companies I.E. Samsung and Apple have to "partner" with Chinese brands basically giving their technology to them in order to sell in China. Those companies who are all are state ran and backed so it's not multiple private companies going against each other it's every foreign company against an authoratative oppressive government. While the foreign companies spend the time and money on R&D the Chinese brands just steal and copy, which is why it's cheaper, as well as many people are under slave labor, you can see what they're doing in xin jiang. Mrwhosetheboss didn't do this, but it's not that hard to see what's happening, so he's a sellout and spreading their propaganda. facts.
@I'm hungry I searched everywhere, but i cannot find whotf asked..
@I'm hungry Interesting!
@I'm hungry OK hater if you wanna be taken seriously at least spell correctly
Hey Arun. Thank you and Marques for this video! Perhaps you could show people the single most important feature any smartphone could possibly have, and what it's truly capable of: Desktop Mode/DeX/ReadyFor etc. I sent you a link on Instagram and email showing my own surprising results (and by all means, include any quirks you find; they do exist).
The whole video was very informative and eye opening actually. Thank you.
This is why before buying a device, I watch Jerry rig and your reviews/thoughts on the device as well as doing my own research. A lot of these devices are getting way too expensive to just blindly upgrade without any research.
I really enjoyed the straight forward information that was shared here. Keep it up buddy. Subscribed w/ notifications as well. Thanks again
Huge respect for not being a sellout, even though you’re putting your channel at risk for the safekeep of your fans!

@PSYCHO @PSYCHO for people like us that's a whole lot of Money
U can live your whole life with 1million$ here, where I live, that's 74000000 Rs.
You can live a luxurious life, that's a lot of money, I don't know about you that's just my opinion
@Ko- Jap Nope. I wasn't born with a silver spoon at all. I was born in the U.S. but I also know first-hand what living in a 3rd world poor country is like.
$1,800 ISN'T rich at all. Not even $1 Million = rich. 😂😂😂
Change your poor negative mentality or you'll be broke until the day you die.
@PSYCHO maybe you were born with a gold spoon but yeah 1800 $ is rich
especially when you do that 12-20 times every 6 months
@Aarxv_S it is, but he can
Yeah, he can buy 100k dollar smartphone, so why not with just 2k or 3k.
Good man ❤
I always peek into this channel.. After watching this video, I subscribed it. Honest to the core. 👏🏻Thanks guys 🤘🏻
quite the improtant video for tech consumers to watch. appreciate you and mkbhd looking out for us and conducting consumer protection
One of the best video to understand how mobile companies manipulate consumer mindset regarding a product. Great efforts 👌🏻
