I believe this was posted before. It's 2017 — where having a camera, YT account, and I guess charisma lets you pretend to know anything you want. Product reviews in general have been a top tier clickbait approach.

Everyone wants input on something before they buy it, and the video creators want to act like they know anything. In the realm of automobiles, have you every met "that guy" who tried so hard to demonstrate what he thinks he knows about cars? He'll find a way to rehearse a spec or marketing sheet behind his reasoning for everything, and at sometimes also add in his unoriginal take on aesthetic or arbitrary criticism when it comes to the newer version of his own car. I met that kind of mother ****er in college. "No way I don't want a turbo 300zx, the NA feels more pure!"

I'm a fan of Top Gear for entertainment, and that one guy Rob on YT who doesn't BS how/why he's doing what he's doing, but actual reviews...I just take to forums to get/read cumulative opinions from actual long-term consumers.
