Without bad reviews, bad products just live longer and disappoint more people than they should.
@chabosmulm15 күн бұрын
It also safes a lot of people money... People who potentially would have invested more, customers who woulda payed 700 bucks and the list goes on. Its a good thing, that bad products get filtered out of the market asap. It would only be immoral, if marques would intentionally make bad reviews for a good product just to hurt a company. This one is clearly not it.

He hasn't been tame. I'm mostly upset about what happened to Fisker, a company really dedicated to sustainability. He's holding start ups to the same standards as mega corps, and the start ups have to deal with the biggest name in tech outright rejecting their product. I don't expect new companies to create products as good as something Apple or Google makes, so I'm more forgiving when a company that has a great cause doesn't get it right the first time. I don't blame him for sharing his opinion, but there isn't even a chance for these companies to improve. It just makes me feel sad.

Constructive criticism of decent products yields good products, and negative reviews of trash helps prevent people from accidentally buying trash (and funding the production of even more trash). The entire point of a free market is supposed to be that companies compete for business by making good products and services, and they *should* die if they're bad, that's the point. And a critical requirement for that process to work properly is that buyers need good information about the products and services so they can accurately pick the best option, otherwise it all just falls apart and we all wind up with junk.

They Don't have peep that lick them. Peep know them from ads, review etc. If review bad, quite a big impact. They dont have many product to cover for 1 or few bad product, that even worse.

Man MKBHD and Mrwhosetheboss are exceptions in this sphere. Unbox Therapy always sponsored by the company who made the product and it is cleary dishonest. Really sad to see for Unbox. Because even if MKBHD is sponsored recently he speaks his take on the specs and product even to the extend to maybe lose the sponsor like with Fisker. Fisker pretending an update can change everything, an excuse to make sure he doesn't talk about the bugs and lack of features, he told us no matter what. The start of the villain arc. Sorry for this long comment not my habit.

A brilliant counter-example to bad reviews killing companies: No Man's Sky. When it initially released, it was brutally negatively reviewed by nearly all games reviewers. But the company took the criticisms and continued to improve its product over time, and now it is a really good game. The developer continues to release new expansions and improvements, and unlike MANY other games developers, it does not charge anything for the new expansions to the game. If a bad review truly takes down a company, that company was going down anyway.

There was a man who ran for president a few times with the green party named Ralph Nader. He was a lawyer who worked predominantly in consumer protection. One of the books he wrote was called "Unsafe at Any Speed" and critiqued the automotive industry, and in particular GM's Chevy Corvair. While GM attempted to sue and smear him (for which he sued and beat them), the Corvair was ultimately taken off of the market and The National Traffic and Motor Safety Act was developed from his work. He was an advocate for all people against the natural tendencies of corporations to exploit consumer ignorance for their own gain. In our present context, I do not know if Nader would have been recognized as the public advocate that he was. Had his book been about Tesla or some startup, there would be a mob of brand advocates that would undermine the very act of critique as a service. And this is not just a problem in technology. Our culture lacks both actual critical skills and the valuation critique even when one cannot critique something with their own faculties.

If a company sends you a crappy product and you call them out on it that's on them, not you. We trust you to tell the truth so we don't waste our money on garbage.

The crucial part of developing a product is to start getting reviews and feedbacks from your customers as soon as possible, so you know what customers actually like/dislike/want from your product. And you as a an author can turn the product development into right direction as soon as possible with all those reviews and get it into success instead of burning even more investors' money on smth that people don't like. Case 2 - product turns out to be good from version 1 and the reviews will eventually boost sales. So either way reviews is a win-win for reviewers and developers IF the goal of the developers is to really create a good product, not just scam as much investors as possible

As a product designer: if your company plummets because someone critized your product, your company is flimsy and you design process was lacking. If ONE youtuber, famous or not, reviews it with honesty and your product is bad in some department, the fault is in the company, use it as an opportunity to improve it. Accusing the youtubers of malice for saying bad things only makes you look like a scammer who got caught. You made the product, OWN your decisions, improve them. That's how big companies make a profit and earn the trust of their consumers. That's it. Thank you for being honest with your reviews, Marques.

I depend on reviews from reviewers that I trust that I follow like yourself Marquis When I see a large number of reviewers giving me generally the same review info I take that information seriously and I tend to believe that all the different reviewers are giving me accurate information. Keep up the great work buddy I've been following you since you are like 11 years old

If a channel is large enough, they could theoretically shut down a good product. Sometimes a sort of prototype will get better. In case of the last video: Calling something „the worst product ever?“ as a clickbait title - yeah that can be seen as unfair. Otherwise I am completely on the side of your argument. Companies need to develop good products for good reviews.

When Top Gear review cars, do we hear people complaining that you may lose Ford, Mazda or even Aston Martin money? No. Their reviews were brutally honest to give consumers the info they needed. Some manufacturers didn't even send cars to Top Gear for that very reason. They were scared. The fact that you had to make this video response is beyond me. Your reviews are always honest. Considered and even go so far as to talk to the 'good stuff' as well as the bad. Keep doing you Marques.
@navacla15 күн бұрын
Exactly! Marques shouldn't have to ever explain his reviews, and especially the honesty. It's actually the contrary: very important to disclose if the video is paid by a sponsor or product gotten for free or any other financial incentive to give a "better" than deserved review. Which includes any investment whether financial or other, in the company making the product under review.
@TheBaldOne15 күн бұрын
There's actually a court case ongoing from Tesla against Top Gear because how badly they reviewed the Model S (basically Clarkson is biased against electric cars, and that transpired towards the review). But, independently of that Tesla is still around for some reason...maybe their product is not as bad as Top Gear made it seem.

Top Gear is probably a bad example given they were an entertainment show with scripted segments in reviews - almost any other car show would fit what you're trying to say better!

True, the point of journalism is to be truthful and accurate - and the reason why we watch MKBHD is because he does that, and in a way that captures our attention. However, as a practicing journalist, he does have a responsibility to have compassion for those his reviews could affect and although I think his reviews are pretty tame; the idea that he doesn't have to consider how he presents the information isn't a good idea.

Something else people need to understand about car reviews, if there are questions about how the car drives / feels like while driving, it is not the same as when a phone has a terrible camera. A car needs to be able to take you from A-B as safe as possible and there shouldn't be much questions about the software that is holding this car together.
