What the article doesn't mention is that there is pressure directed towards Marques Brownlee to get him to alter or remove his review by implying that reviews like his kill companies.

Marques is right. I'm sorry, for $700 goddamn dollars I refuse to be some random startup's R&D. I can't wait for the DiSrUpToR model to die a painful death.

And to all the people crying because MKBHD was mean, I say: STFU. I watch him for his integrity. Your product is bad and you should feel bad.

You can’t be mean to a company. Companies don’t have feelings. Fuck a company if it sucks. Fuck most companies, honestly. No company would go out of its way for me. It will lie to me, take my money…in fact, that’s its only function.: to take my money, by lying if necessary. If it doesn’t take my money, it fails as a company. That’s its prime directive.

So…fuck any company.

Yup, I didn't watch his review, but I watched his video about the review, and he's 100% right. If your product sucks, expect to get bad reviews. If your product is good, expect to get good reviews. If you're getting bad reviews and you know your product is good, talk with the reviewers to figure out what happened.

MKBHD's reviews are fantastic. I've never once felt I'm being sold to, and I've always left feeling more educated about the product. Top notch if you ask me.

Now I’m going to search it out and watch it, Streisand effect here we go.

Only if you had tried to hide what Streisand effect is, we could've had Streisand effect of Streisand effect.

Edit: Don't watch much review videos, hadn't even heard of the guy. Looked up the video, and ended up subscribing to his channel 😀 At least he is getting free publicity with it.

hes the target from certain media and channels because he has the largest reach.

Hey, I just watched the video on youtube last night. He started off with the good things such as the physical design of the device, or the interesting way it can project a laser image on your hand, but after that, it was all downhill.
