content: Quote from: rsjsouza on March 15, 2025, 02:15:48 amThat's not how it works. I have a youtube channel. You get contacted by both manufacturers and sellers. Hey great guy, can we send you this and that for review? You answer sure, here is my address. Then they send you the product and you do review.If you have half a brain, you do good review and quality video, so that next time other manufacturers send you stuff to review.This is the bug in the system these days.Take Tidradio H3 and Quansheng K5. Both are good radios. Tidradio does satcom out of the box. However Quansheng is a bit better, in fact much better. Nobody send you quansheng to review. But Tidradio all day long. I reviewed pretty much all their products. Now, you as a consumer go figure out what's good and what's better out there. At the end of the day, reviews on youtube don't mean anything.It's a marketing move by manufacturers. Saturate the blogosphere with your product reviews = consumer thinks he's getting the best out there.

content: Linus is just entertainment. Don’t expect any kind of intelligent discussion of technical issues lol. This is just him showing off another really expensive piece of gear that he doesn’t even need, but you sure as hell can’t afford. I’ve seen plenty of videos from other people using the most basic gear, but the discussion is intellectually stimulating and you end up learning something new.

"The funny part is, if you break it down, an oscilloscope doesn't really do that much... " Cool. Selling it. Good ad.Having recently been exposed to exactly how much these influencer types charge for paid promotions like this, I can't imagine a world where this experiment pays off with more high end scope sales.
