Comment on It's the Christmas light video again - 2025 edition

  He is promoting a product. That product possibly has what many perceive as a severe defect (flicker). He could say it doesn’t personally bother him but still compare it to other lights in the same way he compared colors in detail. Is the flicker large or small?

  I love his channel and watch every video. But that doesn’t mean I have to ignore when he misses a detail.

    Its a talking head show. He’s not a reviewer. Remember Venn diagrams? Go watch a Chris Maher video where hes looking at lumens, voltage, build quality… And then look at this. Its almost as if its completely different content for a different purpose. Within that content they CAN talk about similar things or even the same product while producing a completely different video.

      His dish washing soap video went to great lengths to create experimental comparisons to show his brand of detergent is better than pods. He has done experiments with other products too like dehumidifiers.

        His dish washing video went to great lenghts to explain how something works and why hot water matters with an additional comment on different products and cost not being everything. Like any continuing series he did drive deeper into various subjects and he did suggest some things which he used or liked. That doesn’t make it a review. Venn diagram. Its an opinion not a review.

        Point in case: was he reviewing kettles in his recent water boiling video? No. But… but he ran a timer!
