Not only is MKBHDQ+ the most culturally white blk man in America, now he's a Trump-class grifter. Truth is, MLBHD is only popular because he got on YT early. No charisma, nothing.
He is basically a stooge for Apple at this point. He creates indirect sleek advertisements for them and in turn Apple invite him to events, give him exclusive interviews and possible other things.
Under one of his videos I commented that apples phones aren't really that affordable and my comment got deleted. It wasn't even negatively connotated. Then I tried it another 5 or 6 times and everytime it got deleted again.

That was a looooong time ago, before he became a sellout. And even back when he wasn't a sellout, he was always an Apple fanboy. His reviews were never good, never from a perspective of what an average user needs, and always basically just a video version of marketing talking points.
