As a German, allowing 56 km/h (35 mph) on a street where children play seems insane to me already. Going three times as fast is just absolutely beyond the pale! 🥶 We don't even allow that speed on most main roads in our cities! 50 km/h (31 mph) is the general maximum speed within built up areas! But on a street like this, we'd only allow 30 km/h max, which is about 19 mph. We might even turn this particular street into a "Spielstraße", which means cars are not allowed to go faster than a "walking pace" (1st gear idle speed, essentially) and pedestrians ALWAYS have right of way.

There's a channel called City Nerd that talks about urban planning, and the 35 mph four-lane roads in most American towns are death traps. Sometimes we call them stroads (street + road) because the main traffic paths in most American towns failed to be roads and failed to be streets. You can't really go fast enough to get anywhere, but you're going too fast to look at the businesses, and everything is always 20 blocks away. This is just a problem with our cities. We just get used to never walking because it's too dangerous to be a pedestrian.

As a side note to the main video, I do agree with you. Here in the UK it's 20MPH for zones where children are likely to be, like near a school, a park, a particularly built up area, including with speed bumps. UK facts for survival of being hit at 30 vs 35MPH: at 40 mph there is a 90 percent chance they will be killed. at 35 mph there is a 50 percent chance they will be killed. at 30 mph there is a 20 percent chance they will be killed. at 20 mph there is a 2.5 percent chance they will be killed. src is roadwise

@invisiblekid9914 күн бұрын
I completely disagree. An athlete that people/kids look up to as their hero says eat this pointless cereal for example is absolutely bias due them getting paid a crap tonne of money. Are the athletes reviewing products etc, probably not. However it can come across as "I know what I'm talking about, so eat this". They have chosen to say " I love this product because........when they are being paid to say it. Is it biased per say, maybe, maybe not, but either way, it's equally untrustworthy. Secondly, being open and honest that this is a sponsored video about a product he VERY likely uses as his choice of equipment is far better than reviewing products and saying this is best, when it's very likely he gets given most if not all the products. Every reviewer has a bias or at the very least, a favourite especially if he uses the type of products he is reviewing. Smaller youtubers will and do say no. But as August said, if you use DJI and they said to you, here, have a few 100k to say why you like our products (again very likely the truth and use anyway), I'd like to see say no. For the record, I'd far rather see this type of sponsorship than channel pushing some shit game/product that has nothing to do with the channel. I know I would push some BS like Better Help or Shadow Legends if I'm show people how to change a lightbulb.

7:10 the problem isn't KZbinrs taking accepting sponsors, if he wants to advertise some non tech product, then so be it. The problem is that somebody like MKBHD is supposed to be a tech reviewer. The purpose of a review is to provide objective information about a product for you to make an informed purchasing decision. When he accepts a sponsorship for a tech product, I have a hard time taking his other reviews seriously. Even if he says they're not biased, there is always going to be a bias towards the companies to keep receiving free press kits or collaborate on future sponsorships. He's been extremely lenient on certain companies, whom he has a more than excellent partnership with. It undermines his credibility and integrity as it is a conflict of interest. That's the problem most people have with reviewers accepting sponsors for products they might have otherwise reviewed.

To push back on the sponsorship video just a little. The issue with Marcus Brownlee doing it is that his entire channel is about independently reviewing products. His reputation comes from his ability to be objective and impartial with the reviews. It just really goes against his brand to do a sponsored video where everyone knows his opinion in that video is by definition hopelessly biased towards the product. It will leave you wondering just how impartial his reviews really are if he's willing to compromise the independent nature of his opinion by taking a sponsorship. ps. Veritasium did something very similar when reviewing Weimo, and for similar reasons it did not go down well.
@duffin.caprous15 күн бұрын
Have to disagree. I don't care if KZbinrs take sponsors and do an ad read. Marques made a 9 minute long advertisement and put it on his channel and only at the very beginning labeled it as sponsored. How are we supposed to trust his opinion on tech products when he can be bought like this? You're right, it probably was a huge payday for him. That's the point. It damages his integrity.

I think the reason why everyone shits on youtubers for taking sponsorship but not celebrities is cuz they are held to a more “relatable” standard. KZbinrs are “real people” whereas celebrities live on another tier of life. Though the line between a KZbinr and a celebrity barely still even exists.
@darrenmacqueen988415 күн бұрын
It's the whole parasocial relationship thing. Just like people want to believe their friends are hanging out with them just because they enjoy it, they want to believe youtubers are only making these videos and interacting with their audience because they want to. They don't want to believe youtubers want to make money. Which is pretty ridiculous. Although I do think this has gotten better for the most part. Back when youtubers first started taking sponsorships and when they first started making patreons, they got so much more hate than they do now. Nowadays, people seem pretty understanding of the fact that youtube is a job and not a hobby anymore. And part of the motivation of any job is to get paid.

I mean i think most people are annoyed with the sponsor because hes known to be transparent and give his real thoughts about a product, which is why its fair for many of his fans to call out him making a sponsored video that he starts with "hey i think im allowed to say this". That tells his fans that this isnt a honest review and he will be censoring negative opinions, not to mention that he has said multiple times that he wont just make full length sponsored videos. Is this something people should be upset about when were talking about someone endagering other people? Probably not but i still think its perfectly valid to call him out when he is doing things that directly go against the morals he built the channel on, this is also known as being a sell out.

On the topic of sponsored content - as long as it's clearly a sponsorship and disclosed, no dramas. It was in this case, so there's no issue with that part of the video. I remember a few years ago one of The Theorist channels did a video - and I can't recall if they explicitly said that the video was sponsored by some phone brand, but it was obvious that the video was largely an ad for the phone (as it was filmed entirely on it, and multiple comments on how good it was). I believe they said it was sponsored - which makes it fine - but if it weren't disclosed, then that's where the issue comes in.
