- I was a member of #teampixel during the launch of the Pixel 3XL. My review of the phone wasn't positive (and it wasn't very nice either) so I was no longer in #teampixel.

God forbid a UA-camr can't be painfully honest about a tech product.What does that say about the company? perhaps they think their product is not very good then? If the tech company is confident in their product. Then let the reviews speak for themselves without pressure. Thank you Jason for your honest reviews all these years.
Thank you for being painfully honest, maybe if Google had been able to live up to the 'don't be evil' objective they would have made better decisions all over, from marketing with new media creators, to monopolistic behavior in search and advertising🙏
Gamesky had a little video on this earlier today saying he was dropped from team pixel as well. He didn't know when, he was never informed. Apparently saying anything negative these days makes some people act like a spoiled little rich kid. After the Tekton speaker issue and Goldensound with DCS audio you would think they would behave a little better.
It's their world. We just live in it.
Turned on all notifs for your channel. I appreciate this honesty. Will ALWAYS triple doubt ALL Google related reviews.
I had a similar experience with a certain drum company. I was paid, and after I made the video, even though I was critical, I felt like I was being too nice. I let them know how I really felt about the product, and didn't feel right about leaving the video on my channel so I took it down. They didn't ask for their money back, but also never asked me to put the video back up. However they never offered me anything else either. But honestly, they were selling a piece of junk and I didn't feel good about promoting it on my channel.
It sucks. You want to have the same opportunities as other creators and it’s important to be able to support yourself, but it’s a very compromised environment
@@thejasontlewis Absolutely. All the guys they have as influencers now of their products are total ass kissers. It's pretty funny.
Thank you for your openness and honesty.
Always!
Fantastic advice, Jason. It's a double edged sword, and you have to decide which end you wish to fall on. Either become a shill and perhaps experience artificial growth in your brand at the cost of being authentic (in a sea of inauthenticity), or keep it real and hope that people find your content insightful enough to subscribe, with your dignity intact.
I have tried to play the game and it never works out. I always shott myself in the foot. It's best to just do your thing.
I get products from companies from time to time on my small channel and they sometimes try to get you to use a script. Soundcore had the nerve to send a product the day of release and expected a full comprehensive review. That's why i like doing things on my own time rather than what they want. Good or bad I'll let the viewer know if it's worth a buy or not
I joined team pixel by buying pixel 7. Basically I excluded myself from teampixel after that - i will never buy another pixel ever again. I had a little hope for pixel 9 but seeing new prices I said no thanks.
I was taught to give constructive criticism your not talking negatively about a product rather giving suggestions on how to improve it.
Thanks for this for it gives me a couple of ideas being a creator.
You're in or out. It's the game. I am a blogger since for ever. I can actually say bad things about the products. I only kept, as a gift, perhaps... 10%? And even those sometimes are not good reviews.
UA-camrs are in a tough spot. It's a very competitive market and not every UA-camr is out to provide the best info to the consumer. Not necessarily out of malice, but because they haven't studied the ins and outs of journalism and have to learn on the fly. And there's money to be made. That's a big one for a lot of people, ahead of most anything else.
@@thejasontlewis that's why I am a blogger instead. :)
I’ve been a writer much longer than I’ve been a UA-camr. I write every video I make.
Great content. Since this emailed leaked, team pixel is gonna lose a lot of reviewers. Even after google taped, it danced back by saying that wasn't the proper language that should have been put out. Well, google, it's too late. Pandoras box has been open. And let's not say google knew nothing about it. They hired that company. If they [google], don't at least look at the final writing before putting it on the web, then shame on them.
Yeah, people who get phones from Google now will have to bend over backwards to convince people they’re not compromised. Google did a poor job of defining team pixel from the start. It’s totally on them.
I remember years ago I heard Apple kinda do something similar. I remember the person saying that they got an email from Apple scolding them because the review was kinda negative.. it was a big UA-camr but I can't remember who said it. 🤔
That was Jon Rettinger, iirc. There’s more to his Apple story. He made a video about it a couple years ago.
I think Google is not worried about this and they are actually benefiting from it in some way. All press is good press. Google is so big if they can shut down a comment from a misinformation post about politics that's not really misinformation they can easily shut this down if they wanted to.
Google may be big, but the Pixel is a very,very distant 3rd in NA smartphone sales. Anything like this hurts them.
That’s it, mate. Gotta keep ontrucking.😊
Absolutely
Integrity!
interesting video at same time few content i follow posted a agreement that in team pixel you basically had to force positive. this kinda program need bigger bring these anti consumer program.
It's marketing. Anything goes. And if the creators are willing to go with it, usually the viewer is none the wiser.
Really it was a bad idea from the jump to give promotional phones to people that do tech reviews for a living. Now every tech reviewer that's been a member of team pixel seems a little compromised. Because they have now explicitly said it's not for reviewers.
Between that and getting early access from every company and affiliate links, I don't really trust any UA-camrs anymore. Even the ones that try to be objective and ethical, they're impacted subconsciously naturally.
And there's no best practices for ethics on UA-cam tech reviews.. it's not like legacy media where you have society professional journalist in the associated press and explicit policies about gifts and companies paying for lodging and so on
Being a content creator is a job. It’s unrealistic and unfair to judge people by getting paid to do their work. You judge the by the quality of their content. Can’t you trust your own judgement enough to discern who’s in it for the money and who’s in it to help people?
Staying true to your motto, respect.
