WHY MKBHD & LTT Tech Reviews FAIL Consumers
62The biggest tech reviewers on YouTube—the ones with millions of subscribers, like MKBHD and Linus Tech Tips (LTT)—are master entertainers, but they consistently fail as true consumer advocates.
In this video, DasGeek breaks down the three massive gaps in the current tech review landscape:
Upgradability & Modularity: Why do they only talk about specs you can read on the box, and never about a device's long-term value, repairability, or e-waste impact?
Privacy & Security: They spend zero time analyzing the default operating system, forced cloud sign-ins, or data-leaching practices.
The New Standard: We look at the actual gold standards for consumer tech: Framework Laptops for hardware modularity and GrapheneOS for software privacy and security.
It's time to demand more from our devices and from the reviewers who influence millions of purchasing decisions. Stop being sold specs—start demanding ownership!
