Comment on It's the Christmas light video again - 2025 edition
yggstyle@lemmy.world 1 week agoHis 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!

That’s a different video. He recently did another video of detergent and why his brand of detergent that he is selling for charity is better than pods.

Both did the job of explaining different functions of the dishwasher and demonstrating, as I mentioned, that expensive stuff did not “clean more better.” To that end he literally had things independantly tested (for the sake of highlighting powders being just as-good.) I’ll go on to point out that he made several comments about pods not using the pre wash.
Again, as mentioned, even with him recommending a product… That does not make him a reviewer. If anything it was a mild advertisement … On a talking head show.
To go back to what spawned this discussion - I wasn’t arguing with you. I simply thought you couldn’t understand what the show was… Or perhaps could not differentiate. The comments (initially) sought to teach.
But, exasperatingly, here we are.
At this point you are nitpicking and being pedantic to attempt to “win” an agurment not being had. If I wanted to approach this with the same energy I’d simply focus on it being obvious that anyone with a bit of sense would have noticed that the review seemed to lack… Price, length of stands, lumens… The list goes on. If it were a review it would contain an awful lot more numbers and an awful lot less personal opinion.
Square peg: round hole. I genuinely hope we leave it there.

You wrote 3 paragraphs to avoid admitting that despite my writing about his detergent video, you responded with his dishwasher video because you haven’t watched all his content!
Comparing samples with an independent lab isn’t a review? Come on. As I already said just because most of his content is “talking head”, doesn’t mean he can’t recommend products. Which he clearly has done.

Look. The last paragraph said what needed to be said. Its apparent its not a review and if you can’t see that… You’re either beyond help or a troll that is succeeding only in making themself look like those inmates from idiocracy. If you feel you need to overanalyze my reaponses to protect your ego… Do what you need to friend; it doesn’t change reality. If you can’t address the obvious flaws in your logic on the original topic you are simply running from the truth.
