Thanks for the shoutout. :)

[@BrandonNedwek]

Just want to point out the MKBHD's negative car review was for Fisker, not Rivian, the latter not having gone bankrupt!

[@DarrenLandrum]

I've been subbed to Explaining Computers for some time now. I love that channel.

[@keithbeesting]

The Doom video didnt appear in my timeline and im subscribed to all your channels glad you mentioned it I will have a watch later.

So, that's what Evan and Katelyn usually do? I only know them from their gaming playthroughs, I watched them play Stray for instance. Wow, I learned something today. Thanks, Rees.

Fisker, not Rivian. The Fisker Ocean is just awful.
I agree with your take and Marques’ take. I want to know if a product is good or bad, not just showing a product without giving it an honest depiction of it’s value/worth.
Love your channels, Rees! Love retro computing, gaming/consoles, and have a lot of the same musical tastes. Also loved the mention of Bungie’s Marathon. With all the Doom content, almost love to see you dig into Aleph One sometime.

Game preservation is important. I like and support any cultural perservation, also when it's somewhat current and commercial, like video games. I hope that the gouvernment petition would work, or perhaps the EU thing. But right now, P2P is (again, I guess) still king for many of those games. How did the game corps let that happen? Do they even care? who knows? (I certainly don't) All I know is that many owners of old music and films earns a lot of money from those, and I can't understand why some owners and copyright holders of some of the retro games can't understand their IP value.. Somebody should get fired! Hope that consumer rights will prevail over corporate stupidity. And that we get to play all the games we once paid for, (or want to pay for).

I watched that AI pin review and it was indeed quite fair and balanced for a product that has not been fully thought through. That being said, the video title of 'the worst product I've ever reviewed' was pretty harsh and clickbaity. Titles like that are like newspaper headlines - they are mainly done to attract attention / clicks, but they establish an immediate and strong negative context, and sometimes that is all that people read. If that then goes viral, a lot of people are just reading a message that says the item is crap without hearing an in depth review and that doesn't seem fair to me. The only defence I've heard against this is 'well, too bad, that's just how TH-cam works', which seems pretty cynical.

[@dusxmt]

I can't speak for others, but personally, I didn't watch the video since I'm mostly interested in hardware and seeing what it can do. There's nothing wrong with a software collection showcase, of course, it's just not something that gets me excited. Anyways, keep up the good work, there's nothing wrong with experimenting, and who knows, you might eventually find something with wide-scale appeal!

Oh! God! did he need to zoom in on it's mechanical arse? th-cam.com/video/OQrVLh6shLw/w-d-xo.html

[@WhatHoSnorkers]

If you review something and it's not good then you either don't put a video out at all, or you respond with truth. Going "how dare you" is pathetic.
