Isn't that most youtube reviews? They all have affiliate links and promo codes to give out, so it's not like they're going to go out of their way tell you things that will make you less likely to buy the product. Any negative reviews (if they exist at all) tend to come from smaller channels that aren't necessarily being run like a business. You will see larger youtube channels giving negative reviews sometimes, but I don't think it's as common. Most of the reviews I see on youtube will either gloss over or completely omit the negative aspects of a product, and it's frustrating when nobody seems to call them out on it. Then you get people who have watched a ton of this positive review content and then they refuse to accept any information that goes against it.
That's one reason why I like Nick Shabazz. He's going to tell you when he doesn't like something. Sure he's obnoxious sounding, sure he spends like 0.005 seconds doing the size comparison, but at least he's not trying to whitewash the bad things about a product.
Yeah knife channels at least the ones that receive products seem to overwhelmingly praise and never even critique the knife, Nick always speaks his mind which is definitely why he's a reliable source.
He also doesn't shell out 100 videos a week on every single drop from every manufacture he usually does the knives he likes and if something catches his eyes as far as what he receives to review he does it honestly.
Nick's one of the good ones.
