Yeah, we literally collected a months worth of trash just so we could throw it across our room for this video 😂 - which other tech fails do you wanna see me cover?

I am a former Columbia University psychiatrist and psychoanalyst and everything you have ever heard about Better Help - it's worse. Colleagues have had to treat the victims - do you really think the numbers actually reflect the real damages? They created a clinical relationship, departed from the standard of care and as a result directly caused damages. - if a human doc did this they would be guilty of negligence and responsible likely for millions for the damages. I do not think people including yourself get HOW HARMED those people betrayed by the program were.....FYI. G
Well that’s wonderful… I’ve had to stop watching channels bc they’re still accepting sponsorships from betterhelp(people have told them in the comments to stop). I hope they’d care if they know how TRULY bad it is…
I was surprised at how little they’ve been fined. And now we know Avast has done the same thing. Is there no way to put these corrupt companies out of business?
I personally think the BetterHelp case is a perfect 10. It's dirty, it's outrageous and it shows how cheaply the tech which revolves around you treats you with minimal consequences.
Wait until you learn how cops getting body cams was actually a marketing ploy by the people who made those body cams, and also made tasers. After George Floyd, most people realized actually trusting cops to film themselves just doesn't work.
The BetterHelp one should definitely be top of the list. It's sad how many large influencers they sponsor despite their shady information selling tactics. Stellar video as always!
Man that coolest cooler looks legit too bad the product got ruined by the greed of the owner that would have probably been a major innovation for every outdoor party
Either that, or the owner was not willing to place the manufacturing order for 62k, was looking to increase volume to actually deliver it at promised prices. Rookie move if true, and killed the product.
The coolest cooler could’ve actually been something my family relatives would’ve gotten. Such a shame and shady thing from a CEO to ruined it with greed.
Nah, I don't think he was greedy, I think he was just over his head. There is a massive difference between selling 500 to 1.5k units in a month and selling 62k units all at once. If he would have taken down the kickstarter after getting 10k orders, he probably would still be in business.
11:37 - To quote Alex Blechman: Sci-Fi Author: In my book, I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale. Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from the classic sci-fi novel 'Don't Create The Torment Nexus'.
Glad to see someone as big as you talking about Betterhelp, it didn't help when other large youtubers out there were ignorant about the malpractice and taking sponsorships to shill them out to people who might actually need help.
When he brought up better help I imagines he was gonna mention this. And some of the terrible experiences some people have had. But I guess they're somehow worse than I thought
In my opinion better help should be top 1, asking people personal questions just to sell them more products with their own private data is just disgusting and cruel to people who are struggling.
Yes I agree. The situation at X is still unfolding and when you have a shake up on that scale, it takes years for it to settle. BetterHelp by design is scummy. It targets the most vulnerable of all ages in their most desperate state and data mines them. I have dealt with mental health issues most my life, and the amount of lowlifes that try to scam this community is atrocious and can lead to people harming themselves. Compare that to Elon being an edgelord and some mean tweets, and a bunch of developers that were WAY overpaid for doing nothing compared to other developers in other spaces, you can see why I agree with you.
But even if better help wasn’t doing what they did it’s clear digital therapy are not going to fix the current mental health crisis because their not dealing with the underlining issue, they can’t suddenly hire more clinicians, if not enough exist
Opera is owned by a Chinese company that used to be a loan shark. They sell your data to advertisers, as if most websites didn't do that enough. Huge L.
100% true. My Zune was my absolute favorite device but whje I went to buy items to connect to my car, all I could find was iPod connections and then my car I bought had iPod hookup
Same as Windows Phones, amazing concept and they were beautiful devices, it's just that Microsoft didn't pay on the app store situation attention quick enough to Allow people to shift to those phones
I had a zune 30g that I literally dropped down multiple flights of marble stairs and ran over with a car. It's screen never cracked and still worked great. Basically everyone I knew with an ipod had a cracked screen.
@@bhuvandeep1219Windows Phone still hurts my heart! I loved my Nokia Lumia 920 Windows Phone, it looked so much better than most other smartphones that were out at that time and had a unique UI with that cool tile interface, but THERE WERE NO APPS ON IT 😩 I held on to that phone for far too long, but at a certain point when you realise you can’t use any of the apps that everyone else is using, the FOMO eventually wins and I ended up just getting a Samsung phone 😢
I really like how Arun puts sponsor breaks after delivering all the content he had planned, instead of having it as an interruption in between the video, which a lotta other creators still do. This allows him to deliver us the content we love while also giving the sponsors their rightful mention
I completely disagree, destroy a good Video by their part for putting the advertising at the end where the ecstasy is high waiting for another "fail" but from my perspective the fail it was theirs, 10/10 fail on Aruns' part. (Of course, everyone has their own opinion 😁)
@@JMPolteRit is clearly labeled as an ad, he marks the twitter fail as number 1 (so you understand that there is nothing after it), and you clearly note that the sponsored intro is different.
17:03 Fun fact : The Zune had WiFi & everyone thought it was for the music streaming services but it was actually for sharing songs form one Zune to another & Microsoft actually nicknamed it to “Squirting”
Sounds crazy but my English teacher was on the Squidgame game show. He confirmed that during red light green light, they were forced to stay still for like half an hour at a time in a freezing cold cement warehouse. His limbs went numb, and multiple people were taken to ambulances after each round.
That scam is just sad... it seems fraudulent companies will never stop exploiting the average person's ignorance of science and common sense. Snake oil salesmen - and so many more like them still out there.
It is amazing to me that in this day and age there are so many people who could fall for such an obvious scam. Maybe in like 1861 I could see people falling for a "Magic power bracelet that revitalizes the body and mind" but in current times it is astonishing that people can be so easily scammed.
Yeah no, the problem with Marvel is quality, not quantity. And of course CEO will say 'oh, we were just making too many good things" instead of "we were making bad things".
Yea but Marvel needs to realize their… “new” way of making movies has kinda broke them down because they aren’t going for that beautiful movie everyone wants to watch, but more of a movie only some people are okay with seeing
The standout feature that Zune had that was way ahead of its time was a subscription music service long before Spotify, Apple Music, or UA-cam Music. With the iPod, you had to pay for each song on iTunes while the Zune provided an all-you-can-listen approach that every big player in the industry does now.
Yes and zune also allowed you to drag and drop mp3 onto it like a usb drive instead of how stupid ipod forces you to use itunes to convert the mp3 files
The other thing that made Zune stand out is you could access the music catalog directly from the device. Downloading music from places other than home was so cool!
IMO i think the company tried their best because they had to fufill like 60k+ orders in around the same time which is near impossible for a starting up company.@@letcreate123
@@paulm6737I think it's revenue and over company state, Ticketmaster didn't loose money but are getting investigated while Twitter lost half it's worth making it the worst purchase.
I think they weight it as, those are almost just more scam artists as usual. Whereas the BIG companies are supposed to already be reasonably well off, so they just have to NOT do stupid things and they should have been, sort of ok. Admittedly I don't know what the real financial situation of Facebook and Twitter are, or were. I imagine the fact that they make their money based on ads means it's always a weird balance of privacy and intrusiveness, and actually serving relevant ads. I get the impression a lot of the lower quality ads are also straight up scams, if not full on viruses for some of the weirder apps.
Ticketmaster is a small company that only makes $16.7 billion per year. Facebook and Twitter would cower to the liberal justice department and would silence anyone the government claimed to be supplying misinformation. Like the Hunter laptop, Russian disinformation, COVID coming from China and more. X does not bend as easily and is attempting to make the platform less restrictive on free speech. @@EricLing64
Seeing Better Help in that list with the given rating was the biggest shock ever 🤯, I've seen their sponsorship/ad in literally every known UA-cam channel !! Yet in reality they were running this shitty business of selling the most vulnerable people's most personal data to other companies 🤦🏻😤😤😤 UNBELIEVABLE !!!
Never believe anyone who know you are vulnerable in some way. That's why never share these kinds of things with anyone even with most of your real-life friends, let alone on the internet. I know sometimes it's hard to tackle the situation, you feel alone and depressed, but you have to fight alone because people will make your situation 100 times worse.
Ticketmaster caused such a stink in Australia it almost directly led to about half a dozen smaller sites to sell tickets. The Melbourne International Comedy Festival used to force everyone to use it not just lets people use their own.
The issue is that ticketmaster is part of live nation and live nation owns a lot of venues and have agreements with many others. They force you to sell exclusively in ticketmaster if you want access to those venues.
Meh that's a big overreaction. It hasn't died at all. It will likely fade away in the near future but let's not lie it's still not even at that stage where users are dropping off rapidly.
I remember seeing those Betterhelp ads, finding them sketchy AF (and subsequently skipping past) and I am happy to find my suspicions validated, but sad for all the people who got screwed over.
The amount of shady sponsorships you see on UA-cam is concerning, a lot of them turn out to be scams or make false claims, especially a group of them from the same broader company including “Established Titles” and “Kamikoto Knives”. Yes UA-camrs just want money but they should do at least a little research into the companies they are sponsored by. The whole “I didn’t know” shouldn’t be a valid excuse, this is something they are promoting to their audience, to get their audience to buy whatever it is, they should have done at least a little research into the companies first. They need to start taking responsibility for the companies they promote. Better help is probably the worst case of this, if it is a scam product then all you lose is money and feel pretty stupid but trusting a site with personal information for them to just lie and sell it is especially scummy.
Better Help is TERRIBLE. Not only with this whole selling data thing, but the thing thing as a whole is bad. I want there to be something for people to get better therapy, but there are so many stories of how bad the therapists are who may or may not even be licensed despite the site claiming they are. Im glad to hear someone talking about it and I wish more youtubers would.
The Zune was actually pretty good and deserved better. Sure it was "just another iPod", but it was one of like 3 that had enough storage to hold your entire library, and one of only 2 with a non-garbage UI. That should've been a whole vibrant product category and instead all we got was the ipod and a bunch of sandisk clip type players that weren't meant for much more than a workout playlist.
Zune was years ahead in raw sound quality over any Ipod. It could've been really the audiophine choice for playinf flac music if only Microsoft didn't force everyone to use the awefull sync app.
Over the years there have been quite a few similar coolers made by various companies. Most of which fall into the "here's a cool idea, but lets overprice it" so initially they get good sales but then people realise that all they really need in a cooler, is a something that keeps their stuff cool.
Yeah it's honestly quite sad that if the creator wasn't greedy he could have gotten it listed on Amazon at a later date probably then made an absolute killing with how well it would have sold.
@@WyattOSheaQuite likely he had a bunch of debt which couldn't be cleared by shipping them out to people who had already paid for them. Robbing Peter to pay Paul is always a big red flag.
29:00 Holy shit, that's the most BIZARRE thing i've ever seen in existance 😂 How the hell did you say "check this out" and then did THIS?! What was Mr.Lizard thinking?! 🤣
To me, BetterHelp preying on people in such a vulnerable state and selling them out to Facebook makes them a worse tech fail in my eyes than your top 3 combined regardless of the loss valuations.
I find it absolutely horrible I lost a family member in 2021 and I was suffering from grief for like 2 years and I went to a therapist I’m better now I hope better crumbles to the ground
One of the most enjoyable UA-cam videos I've seen in a while, nice work! As a hardcore VR user it boggles my mind that Meta can waste so much money and come up with such a bad looking product as the metaverse.
Well, not really. They wanted to own everything about it, whilst developing it from scratch, which is basically next to impossible, in the time frame they had in mind. Imagine if Star Citizen needed to develop a game engine from scratch, and implement all of the "never before seen" improvements?! Our great grandchildren would probably be playing the alpha, or in other words, it would take 3 to 5 times as long to get (maybe close) to where it is today.
They got legs now lol and getting better. Best the vr Experience is p c v r and play station five! But they are the best standalone Pico do not make a fifth one
Yeah it is turning a corner with the q3 and the fact that Apple and samsung are getting into the game I feel like Microsoft will eventually make all there vr stuff in the gamepass app in meta quest and that will also boost it "oh have an Xbox oh now you can connect them" I see it oh and as far as being empty it's like going out to any other social enviorment people aren't always there sometimes there doing other things but going to worlds were there are more random people finding friends and splitting off into direct events always seems to work when there's nothing to do or getting to know 18 plus places in hw and vrc
@@jowardgamer2708 And true - I've never used Netflix and I find live-action shows uninteresting, so I only heard about The Squid Game after I learned about Splatoon.
21:52 I literally thought it is a sponsor segment and skipped then realize no it is the part of the video , just because i have heard these so many times it was an instinctive move.
The Amazon dash button actually can be useful for things other than ordering items from Amazon. It can be used with IFTTT to trigger custom actions. I used one next to our cat litter box, I set it up to record that the litter was cleaned when pressed, and then to send me a text reminding me to clean the litter if the button hasnt been pressed in the last 5 days.
As someone who bought the quest 1, and quest 2, and is about to get the quest 3 I agree with you. Marc isn’t doing anything the vr community wouldn’t be the same if these wonder full game creators didn’t make these fantastic games. This is one of the worst years for vr yet even vr content creators are getting less views. 2020 was the golden age of vr in my opinion.
This is the best year vr bc Resident evil 4 and 8 gt7 is arizona sunrise 2 meta has two Half life alex titles One asguards wrath 2 and new Assassin creed we got Lego propagtton paradise hotel and can't wait for number 2 the 7th guests vr is nice experience who wants not too scary also vampire the masquerade justice is an amazing on psvr2 bc headset feedback is next gen synapse and more coming so on
The reason why VR was so popular back in 2020 is because of covid. Nowadays, nobody new is getting into it because it seems so niche to most people; the only people really getting a Quest 3 are people that have already been in the VR space for some time.
and it's sad because VR is IMO one of the best ways to experience games. it's what really turns game INTO experiences. while there are some flatscreen games that I really love, such as TOTK and minecraft, nothing compares to the feeling of a great VR game.
Kinda hard to believe that BetterHelp is still around and big UA-camrs, Streamers or whatever still take them as Sponsors. Prime example of doing anything for Money and not even reasearching potential Sponsors for as little as 5 Seconds.
I used to want a Zune so badly, but instead I had an even more bootleg off-brand MP3 player than came loaded with three episodes of The Simpsons in the crisp resolution of 144p. Still kind of a shame to see devices dedicated to one function fall by the wayside, even with the convenience of my smartphone I do still miss camcorders and MP3 players and everything else.
Hey man, I still use my mp3 music player from 2009, it's a small USB stick, with 8 gigs of storage I listen to all my music on that because it just holds so much value to me, with the memories as well
@@Killer1984able Even now you mean, since I remain staunchly anti-Apple. I just dislike the company as a whole. The pretentiousness, the Steve Jobs cult of personality, the potential child labor/slave labor thing that has always hung over the manufacturing plants in China, etc. I just hate the company. And while I may be just a hater, I'm not against their products per se. I am 100% behind anyone who says that the iPhone changed the world. And before that that the iPod changed the world. And I'm not surprised that now at the end of the year, The Best Phone of The Year awards are going to the iPhone. It's an amazing device. But everything else Apple can die in a fire as far as I'm concerned.
The top ones are mostly based on his ignorance and biases, Meta invested a lot on technology and is doing meaningful progress; Twitter/X improved a lot with Elon; Marvel it's not going down because there was too much content, but because it's bad and lacks innovation, and that applies to Disney as a whole, since politics are their priority
@@driver7227 Twitter improved with Elon? Haha lmfao It went from a functional platform with slightly annoying liberals to barely functioning displaying, filled with 3x more ads and ten times more neo nazis. Not to mention the cp problem in every porn tag, impossible to use that site for porn without running into legit illegal content
I actually found his channel through one of these, the one where he talks about the Cybertruck. I'm glad he's doing more of these, I hope other people can find him through these!!!
Losing 80% of its value is a "massive win"?? Lol, thanks brother, I needed a laugh. Oh yeah, and anyone who argues that Musk isn't in it for the money...well, just take a look at how hard he's fighting in court for an outlandish $54B pay package. That's weird for someone who doesn't care about the money, right? Funny how triggered MAGA gets.
1 thing I wanted to add for marvel is not only is it the burn out from so much content that is basically essential by this point but also the quality of that content. We still love shows like loki, having it be one of the most highest rated shows that has been produced by Marvel past endgame but it also really stands out when compared to many other shows like She-Hulk, Thor love and Thunder, Secret Invasion, Eternals, etc etc.
@@CleetusDaFetus Super heroes didn't fight social injustice until about 15 years ago. They fought super villains. And the MCU didn't fight social injustices until after Endgame.
@@sladewilson9741 The X-Men existed since 1963. Superheroes fighting social injustices started before you were even born. The problem is quality, not "woke" or whatever you call it.

17:03 Fun fact : The Zune had WiFi & everyone thought it was for the music streaming services but it was actually for sharing songs form one Zune to another & Microsoft actually nicknamed it to “Squirting”
I loved my zune back in the day I don’t know why I just enjoyed it
Zune pass was great. Also super easy to rip the .wma files which was a plus.
I can assure everyone it was before that word changed meaning
No it wasn't called squirting ffs
It was not called squirting, that's a fan-made term.
Sounds crazy but my English teacher was on the Squidgame game show. He confirmed that during red light green light, they were forced to stay still for like half an hour at a time in a freezing cold cement warehouse. His limbs went numb, and multiple people were taken to ambulances after each round.
I remember power balance being on shark tank, and Mark Cuban immediately calling them out as a scam 😂
That scam is just sad... it seems fraudulent companies will never stop exploiting the average person's ignorance of science and common sense. Snake oil salesmen - and so many more like them still out there.
But they look so cool and the placebo effect was LEGIT 😭 morally it’s wrong but in practice, they got the job done in style 👌🏾
It is amazing to me that in this day and age there are so many people who could fall for such an obvious scam. Maybe in like 1861 I could see people falling for a "Magic power bracelet that revitalizes the body and mind" but in current times it is astonishing that people can be so easily scammed.
People will be proudly Atheist, claim to only believe in Facts and Science instead of magic....and then buy stuff like Power Balance bracelets

Talking about BetterHelp, a well-known UA-cam sponsor, selling your data and then getting sponsored by Opera. In the same video. What a plot twist.
Lol
Yeah, pisses me off too. Quite hypocritical to get sponsored by them while complaining about the exact thing Opera does to customers.
ok but doesnt every browser do this nowadays. cookies follow you everywhere
Yeah no, the problem with Marvel is quality, not quantity. And of course CEO will say 'oh, we were just making too many good things" instead of "we were making bad things".
Yup none of them had good stories except for spiderman and loki
@@nishantrajani7372 VERY strongly disagree. Winter Soldier was FANTASTIC, Wanda Vision was AMAZING and Hawkeye was VERY GOOD.
Yea but Marvel needs to realize their… “new” way of making movies has kinda broke them down because they aren’t going for that beautiful movie everyone wants to watch, but more of a movie only some people are okay with seeing
I have not seen their she hulk, Ms Marvel series and I don't want to. I was marvel's fan but not anymore.

Twitter being worse than ticketmaster? Are you fuckin nuts?! 🤣
The-scope-of-the-fail is the SOI here.
what of it? Twitter is a shitshow and it's actually lost a huge % of the user base
Twitter lost more value
40 billion dollars loss is a joke to you?
They are scummy but the reality is they still earning money because of their tactics.
28:40 "Empty, Dead, Boring and Ugly" sounds like you were describing Mark for a second.
The standout feature that Zune had that was way ahead of its time was a subscription music service long before Spotify, Apple Music, or UA-cam Music. With the iPod, you had to pay for each song on iTunes while the Zune provided an all-you-can-listen approach that every big player in the industry does now.
Yes but their marketing department sucked
Yes and zune also allowed you to drag and drop mp3 onto it like a usb drive instead of how stupid ipod forces you to use itunes to convert the mp3 files
Zune was atually really good. If they stuck around long enough till I could afford one I would have purchased a zune.
I still have mine and it still works
The other thing that made Zune stand out is you could access the music catalog directly from the device. Downloading music from places other than home was so cool!
Damn, the cooler one actually seemed pretty cool. It just sucks that people have no chill...
nice pun
Or rather the company had no chill.
Thats cold
And now we snow what happened
IMO i think the company tried their best because they had to fufill like 60k+ orders in around the same time which is near impossible for a starting up company.@@letcreate123

Love how a company literally gouging, stealing and cheating customers out of money is not as bad as companies that make stupid decisions.
Ticketmaster has earned top spot on any list, so anyone above them should be really horrible. And this list misses the mark for that.
@@paulm6737I think it's revenue and over company state, Ticketmaster didn't loose money but are getting investigated while Twitter lost half it's worth making it the worst purchase.
Betterhelp is worse. Save for the fact that it doesn't have a monopoly so people can just go elsewhere.
I think they weight it as, those are almost just more scam artists as usual. Whereas the BIG companies are supposed to already be reasonably well off, so they just have to NOT do stupid things and they should have been, sort of ok. Admittedly I don't know what the real financial situation of Facebook and Twitter are, or were. I imagine the fact that they make their money based on ads means it's always a weird balance of privacy and intrusiveness, and actually serving relevant ads. I get the impression a lot of the lower quality ads are also straight up scams, if not full on viruses for some of the weirder apps.
Ticketmaster is a small company that only makes $16.7 billion per year. Facebook and Twitter would cower to the liberal justice department and would silence anyone the government claimed to be supplying misinformation. Like the Hunter laptop, Russian disinformation, COVID coming from China and more. X does not bend as easily and is attempting to make the platform less restrictive on free speech. @@EricLing64
Seeing Better Help in that list with the given rating was the biggest shock ever 🤯, I've seen their sponsorship/ad in literally every known UA-cam channel !! Yet in reality they were running this shitty business of selling the most vulnerable people's most personal data to other companies 🤦🏻😤😤😤 UNBELIEVABLE !!!
It is what it is
@@assassin8636it shouldn’t be
Never believe anyone who know you are vulnerable in some way. That's why never share these kinds of things with anyone even with most of your real-life friends, let alone on the internet.
I know sometimes it's hard to tackle the situation, you feel alone and depressed, but you have to fight alone because people will make your situation 100 times worse.

Ticketmaster caused such a stink in Australia it almost directly led to about half a dozen smaller sites to sell tickets. The Melbourne International Comedy Festival used to force everyone to use it not just lets people use their own.
The issue is that ticketmaster is part of live nation and live nation owns a lot of venues and have agreements with many others. They force you to sell exclusively in ticketmaster if you want access to those venues.
Bro put Twitter first but didn’t say a thing about Threads which managed to die in less than 1 month lol
Meh that's a big overreaction. It hasn't died at all. It will likely fade away in the near future but let's not lie it's still not even at that stage where users are dropping off rapidly.
everyone saw that coming so i don't think it was enough to deserve a section compared to metya's other fails
Thread was not in the position to replace Twitter. With no EU (and yes that is relevant) rollout it was dead in the water.
Threads is alive and well man, what is bro yapping about
Threads died from nothing, Twitter dropped 40 billion dollars in value in less than a year, that is the bigger fail
He surgically forgot to mention the “Twitter Files.” Funny. 🤔
The Twitter files were entirely irrelevant. No one cared, it's actually hilarious.
@@radiofloyd2359 Yeah. No one cared. 😅🥴
What's that?
That's because they were irrelevant. Just another MAGA trying to gish gallop.
I remember seeing those Betterhelp ads, finding them sketchy AF (and subsequently skipping past) and I am happy to find my suspicions validated, but sad for all the people who got screwed over.
I've also heard countless stories of some of their "therapists" being unqualified or of dubious accreditation. Very dodgy platform.
yeah, its a really fucked up thing to do to pray on the insecurities of people seeking therapy for monetary gain
The amount of shady sponsorships you see on UA-cam is concerning, a lot of them turn out to be scams or make false claims, especially a group of them from the same broader company including “Established Titles” and “Kamikoto Knives”. Yes UA-camrs just want money but they should do at least a little research into the companies they are sponsored by. The whole “I didn’t know” shouldn’t be a valid excuse, this is something they are promoting to their audience, to get their audience to buy whatever it is, they should have done at least a little research into the companies first. They need to start taking responsibility for the companies they promote.
Better help is probably the worst case of this, if it is a scam product then all you lose is money and feel pretty stupid but trusting a site with personal information for them to just lie and sell it is especially scummy.
The worst part is they harmed the most vulnerable.
Worthless company I can't believe is still in business.
Better Help is TERRIBLE. Not only with this whole selling data thing, but the thing thing as a whole is bad. I want there to be something for people to get better therapy, but there are so many stories of how bad the therapists are who may or may not even be licensed despite the site claiming they are. Im glad to hear someone talking about it and I wish more youtubers would.
The Zune was actually pretty good and deserved better. Sure it was "just another iPod", but it was one of like 3 that had enough storage to hold your entire library, and one of only 2 with a non-garbage UI. That should've been a whole vibrant product category and instead all we got was the ipod and a bunch of sandisk clip type players that weren't meant for much more than a workout playlist.
I loved my Zune. Yo, wanna trade songs?
I loved mine!
I loved my zune as well! I’m sure it’s sitting in my old electronics somewhere in my house
Zune was years ahead in raw sound quality over any Ipod. It could've been really the audiophine choice for playinf flac music if only Microsoft didn't force everyone to use the awefull sync app.
I loved my Zune! RIP!

The Coolest cooler really didn't deserve to go out like that, it had so much potential. Hope it gets revitalised or some good alternatives come around
Over the years there have been quite a few similar coolers made by various companies. Most of which fall into the "here's a cool idea, but lets overprice it" so initially they get good sales but then people realise that all they really need in a cooler, is a something that keeps their stuff cool.
Yeah it's honestly quite sad that if the creator wasn't greedy he could have gotten it listed on Amazon at a later date probably then made an absolute killing with how well it would have sold.
@@badaxe9779Coolers also get old and damaged so spending a lot of money on one isn't the best ('a lot' is relative, of course).

5:33 what a great story of how greed can genuinely ruin a potentially great legacy
To me, BetterHelp preying on people in such a vulnerable state and selling them out to Facebook makes them a worse tech fail in my eyes than your top 3 combined regardless of the loss valuations.
I find it absolutely horrible I lost a family member in 2021 and I was suffering from grief for like 2 years and I went to a therapist I’m better now I hope better crumbles to the ground
No way bro actually rickrolled us once again after uncountable times, this time with currency?! 6:36

in love with these type of content!
One of the most enjoyable UA-cam videos I've seen in a while, nice work! As a hardcore VR user it boggles my mind that Meta can waste so much money and come up with such a bad looking product as the metaverse.
Well, not really.
They wanted to own everything about it, whilst developing it from scratch, which is basically next to impossible, in the time frame they had in mind.
Imagine if Star Citizen needed to develop a game engine from scratch, and implement all of the "never before seen" improvements?!
Our great grandchildren would probably be playing the alpha, or in other words, it would take 3 to 5 times as long to get (maybe close) to where it is today.
Imagine still thinking that the Horizon Worlds apps is the metaverse lol
They got legs now lol and getting better. Best the vr Experience is p c v r and play station five! But they are the best standalone Pico do not make a fifth one
@@MJ-92but star citizen did develope a game engine from scratch and that's why it IS still a beta
Yeah it is turning a corner with the q3 and the fact that Apple and samsung are getting into the game I feel like Microsoft will eventually make all there vr stuff in the gamepass app in meta quest and that will also boost it "oh have an Xbox oh now you can connect them" I see it oh and as far as being empty it's like going out to any other social enviorment people aren't always there sometimes there doing other things but going to worlds were there are more random people finding friends and splitting off into direct events always seems to work when there's nothing to do or getting to know 18 plus places in hw and vrc

The Amazon dash button actually can be useful for things other than ordering items from Amazon. It can be used with IFTTT to trigger custom actions. I used one next to our cat litter box, I set it up to record that the litter was cleaned when pressed, and then to send me a text reminding me to clean the litter if the button hasnt been pressed in the last 5 days.

As someone who bought the quest 1, and quest 2, and is about to get the quest 3 I agree with you. Marc isn’t doing anything the vr community wouldn’t be the same if these wonder full game creators didn’t make these fantastic games. This is one of the worst years for vr yet even vr content creators are getting less views. 2020 was the golden age of vr in my opinion.
This is the best year vr bc Resident evil 4 and 8 gt7 is arizona sunrise 2 meta has two Half life alex titles One asguards wrath 2 and new Assassin creed we got Lego propagtton paradise hotel and can't wait for number 2 the 7th guests vr is nice experience who wants not too scary also vampire the masquerade justice is an amazing on psvr2 bc headset feedback is next gen synapse and more coming so on
The reason why VR was so popular back in 2020 is because of covid. Nowadays, nobody new is getting into it because it seems so niche to most people; the only people really getting a Quest 3 are people that have already been in the VR space for some time.
and it's sad because VR is IMO one of the best ways to experience games. it's what really turns game INTO experiences. while there are some flatscreen games that I really love, such as TOTK and minecraft, nothing compares to the feeling of a great VR game.

The main thing I saw as to why these companies didn’t succeed and failed horribly is because of Greed. 🤦🏻
Kinda hard to believe that BetterHelp is still around and big UA-camrs, Streamers or whatever still take them as Sponsors. Prime example of doing anything for Money and not even reasearching potential Sponsors for as little as 5 Seconds.

I friggin' loved my Zune idc what anyone says, it was a tank and very reliable and sounded honestly great.
The Zune was fantastic - and the desktop software was leagues ahead of iTunes.
It was a tank with a hole in it.
I used to want a Zune so badly, but instead I had an even more bootleg off-brand MP3 player than came loaded with three episodes of The Simpsons in the crisp resolution of 144p. Still kind of a shame to see devices dedicated to one function fall by the wayside, even with the convenience of my smartphone I do still miss camcorders and MP3 players and everything else.
I was one of the few who bought one, and our boy here is exactly right. I bought it because I wanted a good MP3 player without Apple involvement.
Hey man, I still use my mp3 music player from 2009, it's a small USB stick, with 8 gigs of storage
I listen to all my music on that because it just holds so much value to me, with the memories as well

I can think of a few
The top ones are mostly based on his ignorance and biases, Meta invested a lot on technology and is doing meaningful progress; Twitter/X improved a lot with Elon; Marvel it's not going down because there was too much content, but because it's bad and lacks innovation, and that applies to Disney as a whole, since politics are their priority
@@driver7227 Twitter improved with Elon? Haha lmfao
It went from a functional platform with slightly annoying liberals to barely functioning displaying, filled with 3x more ads and ten times more neo nazis. Not to mention the cp problem in every porn tag, impossible to use that site for porn without running into legit illegal content

Literally a BetterHelp advert just came on halfway through this video! 🤣
Use brave browser to block all ads my guy...
1 thing I wanted to add for marvel is not only is it the burn out from so much content that is basically essential by this point but also the quality of that content. We still love shows like loki, having it be one of the most highest rated shows that has been produced by Marvel past endgame but it also really stands out when compared to many other shows like She-Hulk, Thor love and Thunder, Secret Invasion, Eternals, etc etc.
He failed to mention that they used to be good involving characters people cared about, and now they're woke crap with characters no one cares about.
