I’m not subscribed to anymore phone youtubers anymore for probably that reason. At the height of Android youtube I was subscribed to MKBHD when the tech was fresh exciting, and then subscribed to people doing custom roms or app recommendations.

But, now days when it comes to tech youtubers I prefer ones that at least go through the motions of seeming like they are being objective like Gamers Nexus or Hardware Unboxed or Digital Foundry by putting on a show of testing different configurations and so on. Lot of other tech youtubers just feel more like adverts lot of times with how shallow the presentation is, so whether product is recommended or not feels more like the purpose is to just get the brand out to viewers.

Which becomes really noticeable when they cover a product that you do actually use and watch their review on, and see how much stuff they glossed over with really the main highlight being nice cinematography. Videos aren’t even straight to the point and short either, which is really part of why I stopped watching lot of them. If they at least were more straightforward and brief 2-3 minute overviews it’d be fine, but now they all push 10 minutes and over so waste your time.
