      semi-succesful

      18 Million subscribers, Billions of views, has had Kobe Bryant and the US president as guests on his channel. If that’s “semi-succesful”, what on earth is your yard-stick for successful?

      I don’t always agree with his takes, but I honestly can’t think of a better or better-known tech reviewer.

        I dunno. My local doctor has saved plenty of lives.

        Consider him more of a success than someone who reviews overpriced phones on youtube.

        Suppose how you define success depends on what you think’s important in life.

          A famous YouTuber is not going to be successful at saving lives, but is extraordinarily successful at being a YouTuber.

        I mean, Linus Tech Tips exist. So do Jay-Z 2 cents. There are plenty of other successful tech YouTubers.

      Mr Blott was suggesting that the review is ultimately just an advertisement. I disagree with it, but each to their own.
