he made a good response to this. basically bad reviews don’t sink companies, bad products do. a bad product will warrant a bad review, so don’t blame the symptom, blame the illness.
True. Sending someone a bad product and expecting them to say it’s good just because you gave it to them is braindead. Hire better engineers, and better marketing people.
I was just gonna say.. They deserve to fail if their product sucks. These tech companies need to stop trying to sell products still in beta to people first and then apologize and say they'll fix it later. Shits getting old.
Actually based holy. Marques could've just sold his integrity for pretty hefty sums, yet he decided that giving his honest opinion was worth more than being cozy with companies.
@@webaazul2500 imo he's still overly cozy with Apple and Tesla. On their podcast and in general, he's constantly giving them way too much benefit of the doubt when they deserve to be shit on for some of their practices. Great podcast though, highly recommend checking out their Waveform Podcast.
He also just tends to make things up. Like he lies, all the time. He said there was no way to power the Vision Pro off without yanking the battery out, not even the manual could help! But it could help, it was on the very first page.
"Optimism" in the tech world, especially in tech startups, is how we got FTX and Theranos and WeWork and the Juicero and billions of wasted dollars on frauds. It's about time the tech world starts asking hard questions about why something should exist before throwing money at it. Good on MB for doing that.
very good points. sometimes it's not the end of the world to be slightly on the "harsh" side of that tightrope. it's serving his audience and caring about their purchasing decisions.
Juicero wanted to occupy the kureg space but failed to realize what made it work (cheap initial cost, expensive pods purchasable anyware, DRM isn't inconveniant, market to busy people and establishments like hotels)
The way everyone is tweeting like it's some tiny tech startup with a neat little groundbreaking device, and not some multi million dollar company with a luxury $700 alexa.
Its wild that Colin and Samir interviewed him on this topic right before he uploaded the video. Also, what happened to “all publicity is good publicity” - if the Humane Pin didn’t get bad reviews, it would be because it got no reviews
Marques Brownlee is, I think, the epitome of "tough but fair". He has high standards, but h e also tries to give everything the benefit of the doubt and really give it its fair shake. I wouldn't even characterize him as "brutally honest". He's just straight up honest. There's not a hint of malice in his work, even when giving a bad review, and I respect that massively.
Nah, he's not tough to companies that give him access. For example Tesla and apple. They give him interviews and product launches so he definitely pulls punches with them. L
marques is the only person to get hate because he reviewed a bad product honestly. the Internet loves to complain about reviewers shilling but once one doesn't it's also a problem
I saw a tweet from Captain Disillusion about this, how it's basically a shittier cicret bracelet. That one was already dead on arrival, so this isn't even a novel product either; it's just an even worse version of one that already ""exists"".
That product is one of those 10 buck cheap tech "gifts" you pick up last second at the tjmax line when you remember your distant cousins birthday is coming up.
The only time this backlash is warranted was against Linus Tech Tips, when they did a bad and misinformed review about a good product which ended up harming their business.
I had to stop watching all of the LTT channels when they put ads in the apology video for this. Your fans are upset that you're putting out bad reviews and sloppy content all in the pursuit of money, and you honestly think it's an appropriate funny ha-ha joke to throw in there? They made it clear how little integrity they truly have in the face of Linus being a good little capitalist and making the most money.
You.. do realize almost every MKBHD video has something random made up though, right? Like the guy doesn’t even read the manuals of the products he reviews and a lot of the positive reviews go to garbage. The Fisker video had so many EV collectors going after him, but it doesn’t matter. The actual people who know a thing or two were pushed down by an incompetent dude.
In terms of grifting shit, I'm wondering how many startups are out there claiming to have some proprietary tech that beats OpenAI that just makes calls to OpenAI in the background with a little prompt fiddling to make it look better for their demo use cases.
@@JoelDZ He's talked about how hands-off he is a lot lol, but I'm not here to defend the streamer from the person who thinks this is a noteworthy issue that reflects on him as a person
Obviously when he worked for nvidia marketing he represented their interests. He doesnt represent their interests now or any other company lol. An anecdote of him working at nvidia doesn't mean it bothered him on a personal level.
It’s called destroying bad companies that produce bad products. I mean, it’s not that these things are pretty good with 1 single flaw. He provides great reviews that are accurate about products that are just not good. When your products are bad, you’ll fail eventually. Don’t release bad products before they’re ready.
i think they can be happy that they burned 400 million and had a good time. sure they have a bad resumee now. but thats what you get for doing a shitty job but living like a king...
I think that this could be a cool accessory to go with a phone, but not to replace one entirely. Although the smartwatch already does what most would want out of an accessory. And the tapping on your hands I would feel is functionally way harder to use.
The laser projection onto your hand bit would be cool after 10 generations of tech improvements and an Apple-level R&D effort. But even then it wouldn't compare to the tactile response that a smartphone screen gives. Not that it'll happen, all the big tech companies are focused on glasses-type VR/AR goggles as the next big thing in wearable tech.
I didn’t know this until I saw his Twitter bio but I didn’t realize he was an ultimate frisbee player. Doing that at the same time as well as being one of the most well known UA-camrs in the world is pretty cool.
Marques has journalistic integrity, that's why people watch him. He has no choice but to give his honest opinion, and with his platform even has a duty to warn the public about the hidden flaws of an expensive product. I think he was very fair explaining that you'd pay for a product that may get better down the line. There was just nowhere to hide for that product.
aedish, im not sure if you've watched library of letourneau but they do a thing i really like by including outro music - usually of NL singing. Since the community has an outsize amount of songs, it might be a good idea to include like a snippet of one at the end of every video.
One of the biggest takeaways from Marques' response was that Fisker stock was already in freefall before reviewers got their hands on their EV. Even more, other reviewers had many of the same complaints.
his job is to share opinions and facts about a product. if the product was bad, and MANY other people think so, then not only is it not just him, but it was also just a bad product. it's not his fault for doing his job, it's the companies' for not doing theirs
When I heard there was MKBHD drama, I thought it was the opposite: he was too soft on the review. I actually usually find his reviews too soft and subject to hype especially to his favorite brands (Apple, Tesla, etc). Crazy that people think he was too harsh 😂 Humane clearly spent 90% of the product budget on design and packaging... pretty much all the tech reviewers said "it looks nice, feels nice as a chest weight" 😂
90% of the 240 million probably went to trying to build an ai program from the ground up For perspective Microsoft currently has 10 billion invested into ChatGPT and it’s still not perfect yet
I feel like the same people screaming about AI are the same type of people on that crypto bro grind set.. Bad reviews don’t kill companies Bad products do.
@@nick.100 AI is ok but if a product is based on it's gotta be a simple AI so it doesn't mess up. For example a image recognizer for rock identification based on user approval/disapproval. Generally the more specified the better.
He actually said in the video that Fisker asked him to please not review it until it received an update. He basically said, too bad, this is what you sold to consumers. And half his complaints weren’t even software to begin with
I think people forget about critics/reviewers before UA-cam. Newspaper critics had much more influence back in the day and restaurants/movies/products lived and died by those select voices. Walt Mossberg was the end all be all in tech. Remember Ratatouille…the whole point was impressing the one restaurant critic. UA-cam/internet has democratized the space and now there are thousands of reviews for products. Read a few, analyze, and make a decision
MKBHD simply did his job and reviewed their product, if they didnt want an honest review they should have payed him to shill their product or just not make a slow device in the first place .
I do think that most people are on MKBHD's side on this. I think brands, companies, execs, etc. are not. They are scared of risk, and bad reviews are a risk. What I am scared of is that this type of news, and discussion will result in companies being more secretive. If they are more hesitant to work with reviewers and, give them early access to look at products and speak publicly. This is then bad for consumers since they can make less informed decisions about products they want to buy. On the Humane pin itself - I am always optimistic. The pace of technology moves non-linearly, and we cannot always predict what will/will not take off. I'll never buy this version, but maybe in 5 years if it is much better and cheaper it can compete with or augment mobile phones. Important to remember that even though it might suck, it is still v1. The first iPhone wasn't that amazing. I do think the comments of the Humane team are cringe, and this is a good case study for what happens when VC's and execs treat product designers like gods. You can design something cool, but it needs to be useful (or add value for customers).
The only reason MKBHD got pushback is because its specifically an AI product. Tech bros are trying their hardest to get AI into the real world, so when it's a flop like the pin and the upcoming Rabbit, they get upset their scam could die.
I remember them on a ted talk trying to dunk vr w those scary “kids in school w headsets” images” like bro at least your phone cant do the same exact thing your product is doing 😂
MKHB spent the first 5 mins of his video talking about all the great parts of about the product. I watched the video. it was a fully fair review. Almost too polite, tbh. props to the folks in charge of the features that make it less stupid.
The thing about a lot of these tech companies (particularly in the field of AI), is that they buy into their own hype, because they hardly get ANY pushback throughout the process. Watch any interview with one of these startup tech CEO's where a journalist actually asks a probing question, or brings up a valid critique, and they absolutely flounder.
He really didn't give that bad of a review? Am I crazy? I mean the way he articulated all the cool things about it and telling what it's supposed to do. I remember the first smartphones didn't do what they were supposed to do all that well either. They were buggy, laggy, took crap photos and look what we have now. Given 20 years of refinement this thing could really be something. It'll be a smartphone this thing is a smartphone with a projector instead of a screen.
we've pretty much hit a wall for consumer based tech innovations. cars arent really innovating, tv arent innovating, phones arent innovating, nobody cares about vr headsets, and certainly nobody cares about this. the only innovation available is in hyper niche aid and care tech like what the neuralink is trying to do (that thing will not be available for general use i guarantee it), or MAYBE agriculture and construction (fintech is already a dud). and that hyper niche healthcare tech should honestly not have a profit motive because... it shouldnt have a profit motive. i think we will be waiting 10 years for major tech innovations, at least on the mass consumer front
A "personal assistant" which can't do reminders and makes everyone think you're recording them They thought they would disrupt the mobile phone industry with that
5:30 having UA-camrs forced to uphold moral value by their fans and then getting good info is a win win. Having UA-camrs review products is democratic even if the fans are willing to hold the UA-camr accountable
i think something similar could have a possible use in cars. if it could Bluetooth connect to a display and give accurate directions then it eliminates a phone there
@@throwaway7425 are u wanting to be able to just say hey car and then it start listening because cars with a button on the steering wheel that starts listening for voice control is in plenty of cars
crazy how long smartphones is still the prominent tech, but it will be inevitable not sure if it will happen soon or in the middle or in the end of my lifetime or maybe something later after my death
The we need more bad tech bit at the end was good, but it did remind me of an add I watched the other day abt "simple/basic smartphones" they were regular smartphones but the apps didnt have logos, just the title of the app, I think there was also like a timer thing that u could set up so you dont spend too much time on social media, seems cool to me
As someone with degrees in Electrical Engineering and Entrepreneurship, trying to find a problem that I feel I could realistically solve with my own skills has been a real challenge. All successful products solve a problem.
here i have an idea for you: make a cup that looks like a stanley cup but it has a little lcd screen on it that displays the temperature of its contents
Fiskers been bad forever. I briefly detailed cars for a living and we were down the street from a fisker collector. We ended up cleaning a lot of them and they were all very poorly made.
The Reason Humane pin exists and why they thought it was a good idea is because they were thinking about "old people" like "old people". They think that this will help people who are either technologically "illiterate" and also somehow unable to ever learn even if you forced them (some people just think that something like email is just completely beyond them and it would be impossible to teach them and they somehow are able to block their mind's own natural ability to learn. It's like they believe it so much it becomes true) -- and then besides those people, the creators were probably thinking about this as being an amazing tool for people with disabilities or children, or especially children with disabilities.
They should just be making good products then. People should be expected to speak their mind in a review, if you think the opposite, that's YOUR problem. It's insane that people like you defend massive corporations like this when they have the funds to be making good products.
This product could be so neat if they rebranded it as an instrument for people with vision problems. Like it being able to read you stuff or describe people and items around you in real time is amazing, but instead they just went with "iPhone killer". Bruh
It’s crazy how so. Many people would rather protect the company than the customers if he just provides fake optimism the only people who get harmed are customers who get worse products
I’m pretty sure the whole basis for the pin is to stop the use of social media and live without screens in our face 24/7, but it seems that it doesn’t work regardless
I remember he did do a fake review once, he had to pull it. I don't remember what it was but all creators said it sulked he said it was great, I think it was a phone
One day a company will pay a respected CC to say they subjectively like a certain product more. I mean, there’s nothing to do about it, but it’s kinda stressful to think about.
If he was sent a tech demo way before a product is released and trashed it in a review then I could maybe understand the argument because the product could just not be finished or they could improve significantly before release. However, once you launch a product and make people pay for it then all bets are off and I would hope any reviewer would give an honest review, even if the product is bad.
he made a good response to this. basically bad reviews don’t sink companies, bad products do.
a bad product will warrant a bad review, so don’t blame the symptom, blame the illness.

we've pretty much hit a wall for consumer based tech innovations. cars arent really innovating, tv arent innovating, phones arent innovating, nobody cares about vr headsets, and certainly nobody cares about this. the only innovation available is in hyper niche aid and care tech like what the neuralink is trying to do (that thing will not be available for general use i guarantee it), or MAYBE agriculture and construction (fintech is already a dud). and that hyper niche healthcare tech should honestly not have a profit motive because... it shouldnt have a profit motive. i think we will be waiting 10 years for major tech innovations, at least on the mass consumer front
Bad products ruin companies. When a car I want to buy has full-blown safety issues, I want to know that.
This looks like something I'd come up with bro.
But like, as a part of a fictional setting.
A "personal assistant" which can't do reminders and makes everyone think you're recording them
They thought they would disrupt the mobile phone industry with that
5:30 having UA-camrs forced to uphold moral value by their fans and then getting good info is a win win. Having UA-camrs review products is democratic even if the fans are willing to hold the UA-camr accountable
It would be a good hackathon project I guess
He only said what everyone was thinking
I think I unironically agree with your marketing pitch for Humane
i promise you none of the ppl that worked on making the pin uses it themselves once they clock out
i think something similar could have a possible use in cars. if it could Bluetooth connect to a display and give accurate directions then it eliminates a phone there
Have you heard of a GPS navigation system most modern cars have them
@@nick.100 those are not voice activated. the voice ones are currently separate modules and pointless. Maybe try a little thought before the sarcasm
@@throwaway7425 are u wanting to be able to just say hey car and then it start listening because cars with a button on the steering wheel that starts listening for voice control is in plenty of cars
@@nick.100 and those make up a very small marketshare of bluetooth cars on the streets. A cheaper alternative would be great
@@throwaway7425it's less $700 to replace or put in a Kenwood or Alpine screen that gives you apple car play and android.
crazy how long smartphones is still the prominent tech, but it will be inevitable not sure if it will happen soon or in the middle or in the end of my lifetime or maybe something later after my death
1:54 This has Balkenende VOC mentaliteit vibes
HIS SPEECH IS SO RIGHT BC I GOT A IPOD CLASSIC AND NOKIA FOR WHEN I WANT TO UNPLUG
REGRESSION!!!!
The we need more bad tech bit at the end was good, but it did remind me of an add I watched the other day abt "simple/basic smartphones" they were regular smartphones but the apps didnt have logos, just the title of the app, I think there was also like a timer thing that u could set up so you dont spend too much time on social media, seems cool to me
As someone with degrees in Electrical Engineering and Entrepreneurship, trying to find a problem that I feel I could realistically solve with my own skills has been a real challenge. All successful products solve a problem.
here i have an idea for you: make a cup that looks like a stanley cup but it has a little lcd screen on it that displays the temperature of its contents
@@dogdjinnwhat does this comment mean?
@@mocapcow2933It's a product that doesn't solve a problem (a joke)
@@mocapcow2933 i was just giving a product idea. idk if it's a good idea, but it's an idea
@@dogdjinn a bit random but alright 😂
Fiskers been bad forever. I briefly detailed cars for a living and we were down the street from a fisker collector. We ended up cleaning a lot of them and they were all very poorly made.
9:50 love how Atrioc insinuated that Steve Jobs went to hell ICANT
Big A I got actual ptsd flashbacks from the battle block theatre music thank you for putting it in your videos it’s fucking awesome
The Reason Humane pin exists and why they thought it was a good idea is because they were thinking about "old people" like "old people". They think that this will help people who are either technologically "illiterate" and also somehow unable to ever learn even if you forced them (some people just think that something like email is just completely beyond them and it would be impossible to teach them and they somehow are able to block their mind's own natural ability to learn. It's like they believe it so much it becomes true) -- and then besides those people, the creators were probably thinking about this as being an amazing tool for people with disabilities or children, or especially children with disabilities.
I personally despise how cosy he seems now with Apple, like he interviewed Tim Cook way back and I'm sure has been treated handsomely by them.
They should just be making good products then. People should be expected to speak their mind in a review, if you think the opposite, that's YOUR problem. It's insane that people like you defend massive corporations like this when they have the funds to be making good products.
This product could be so neat if they rebranded it as an instrument for people with vision problems. Like it being able to read you stuff or describe people and items around you in real time is amazing, but instead they just went with "iPhone killer". Bruh
Spot on. A bad product is a bad product. A good product is a good product. Consumers don't owe these companies anything.
Yeah I bet its bad, but MKHD Also praises Cyber truck...
1:07 is what happened to unboxtherapy
the only people mad are the investors 😂
Also Mr.Dan has a betting sponsorship in his bio lmao
I genuinely believe that a good AI Assistant is one of the most exciting things that will come out of this AI Revolution -- this is not that.
It’s crazy how so. Many people would rather protect the company than the customers if he just provides fake optimism the only people who get harmed are customers who get worse products
I’m pretty sure the whole basis for the pin is to stop the use of social media and live without screens in our face 24/7, but it seems that it doesn’t work regardless
Fisker Stock was in free fall waaaay before mkbhd made his video
It’s sad the Ray ban sunglasses only record for one minute
I remember he did do a fake review once, he had to pull it. I don't remember what it was but all creators said it sulked he said it was great, I think it was a phone
I think the big problem is how do you watch videos on ur hand if ur hand is doing something else
mkbhd is exactly like how gamers nexus destroys pc companies
Ayye I have the meta glasses. In reality, they are a camera, headphones and glasses in ones. The AI and assistant stuff isn't there yet
One day a company will pay a respected CC to say they subjectively like a certain product more. I mean, there’s nothing to do about it, but it’s kinda stressful to think about.
If he was sent a tech demo way before a product is released and trashed it in a review then I could maybe understand the argument because the product could just not be finished or they could improve significantly before release. However, once you launch a product and make people pay for it then all bets are off and I would hope any reviewer would give an honest review, even if the product is bad.
This is almost exactly what happened to Keith Lee
