Dear MKBHD - Sandal "Review"

[@mkbhd]

NEXT LEVEL INTRO I'll admit I was nervous putting these shoes in your hands, consider the fashion icon that you are. I knew this would be a brutally honest review. I was not disappointed We'll hopefully push a firmware update to improve Cinebench scores in the next week or so Ground Orthogonal Locomotion Distance benchmarks might need some more testing examples But overall I can't get over the sandal pitch. Linus. I put my SOLE into the design of this sneaker/sandal. I swear with the elastic laces they're hot sockable 😅

[@daylen577]

To be fair, not every video has to be a big win in views or revenue, dbrand sponsoring this video more than made up for any loss in watchtime

[@88porpoise]

​@@daylen577 they don't have to be a huge win, but a big flop is certainly problematic. For revenue on that video and the broader impact on KZbin recommendations and future views. A couple duds can certainly harm a business. And sponsor rates will be heavily impact by views. A series of poorly viewers videos likely will put a dent in that revenue. Not saying this video was likely to be problematic, but a flop or two is a significant thing for LTT.

Jokes aside, I really do value the don/doff efficiency. As someone who shows up at work within 5 mins or less to punching in, or 5 mins or less to being late, saving 1-2 minutes from tying my shoes is valuable. Not to mention not having to tighten the laces again later that day I'm wearing it is a massive bonus.

[@edisom]

Lets be real here though. If tying your shoes generally is that much of a issue to you, why not just get some Vans Slip ons or something? Just seems unrealistic that everyday you are late cause you have to tie your shoes... Just set your alarm 5 minutes earlier.

[@grenzviel4480]

@@edisom you really don't think I don't already have laceless shoes? I tried waking up 5 mins earlier before, but when I know that I can push it to the limit, I tend to push it, so I just end up where I started, being in between 5 mins late or early.
