content: Those videos are promoting a brand and their products but are interesting and well (professionally) done, especially the narration.

He often talks too fast, doesn't enunciate, has weird intonation, mumbles, and has poor pacing. And his voice is rather nasal. IMHO it's very amateurish narration.

content: Well, I don't have any problem following along and I much prefer things moving along than a slow-paced video where the first minute feels like an eternity and I look at the bar and see there is another nineteen minutes to go. No thanks.Those videos cover a lot of ground in very short time and I prefer them to be fast paced. If I see a video lasts an hour I am not even going to start watching it. Sorry but I have other things to do... like scratching my belly button while I stare at the ceiling.

content: Quote from: soldar on April 07, 2019, 01:24:26 pmI'm not talking about the pace of thevideo, I'm talking about the pace of hisspeech. He's inconsistent, often talking too fast, and then slowing for emphasis at the wrong moments. It's classic amateur narrator. But the worst aspect is that he just does not enunciate — he's mumbly.Also, I didn't say I had a problem following; I just said I don't like his narration.Additionally, I forgot to say that the other thing he gets wrong is terminology. He just kinda wings it, throwing words around incorrectly. (For example, he called the power supply connector on the motherboard the "power pinout".)

I get this image in my mind, someone who has taken a few beers and started to talk loudly about USB-C cables at a party where not too many are not too interested.

content: Steve sticks to "just the facts" generally in his normal videos, making being very clear about what is fact, what is conclusions drawn, and what is speculation, what is a direct quote, etc for various things. Whatever mistakes in verbiage are present in the "how its made" videos, I would suspect are just what information the translator accompanying his team gave him verbatim, so some Chinese/English language barrier there.Coolermaster sent him on a grand tour of their supply chain, that's why it's all focused on coolermaster product's.He definitely seems to put great effort into proper journalistic integrity when it comes to reviews and news videos. But agreed that his script reading isn't the best.

content: Re: terminology — I find it hard to believe that he (or the Chinese) wouldn’t understand the word “connector”. In many of his videos, he’s just plain sloppy with wording, regardless of whether at a Chinese factory or not. (I mean, calling the power supply connector the “power supply pinout”, really??)
