    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.

            A famous YouTuber is not going to be successful at saving lives, but is extraordinarily successful at being a YouTuber.

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