    He gave his honest opinion. The facts he pointed out substantiated the idea that the product was terrible and shouldn't have been launched. The developers were so eager to attract attention at this time, when most AI products are still in development, that they didn't care the product wasn't finished. And that's the only disrespect I see here: disrespect for the consumer, out of greed.

    I'm mind-blown by the fact they got so much funding for such an inherently flawed concept. Like imagine the concept was executed perfectly. If the AI was actually perfect and not the flawed slow mess they actually are shipping. It's always listening and knows your voice so you don't even need to press anything and just talk to it like you would a human personal assistant and they could do everything a personal assistant could do with the use of a smartphone or computer, but faster. It doesn't connect to a server and processes everything on the device for both speed and privacy. That software could be done and probably faster with a larger smartphone with more processing power while at the same time the AI being able to pull up visual content on the screen for me to check out that the pin would just suck at. What does their concept have over the same software running on a smartphone and using that directly or with a smartwatch as a terminal?

Marques said something golden in the Humane pin review - " buy the product for what it is NOW, not on the promises of future updates" I didn't follow that wisdom & am stuck with a phone I'm dissatisfied with. And the future updates haven't materialised. At the same time time as MKBHD's review, another very well known reviewer praised the NP2 to the skies!

Coz for some reason tech bros always have a go at the reviewers instead of having a go at the companies being called out or the products being called out. So MKBHD wasn't even the only major reviewer who gave this product a bad review there was a whole bunch of creators with similar honest thoughts about the pros and cons of it.

    This is the dumbest question to ask in my opinion. The real question should be, why aren’t these companies making good products!! Companies need to stop prioritizing market share and actually make a good product!! (This will be the downfall of Apple and many other Silicon Valley companies) These companies need to take some responsibility for what they put out and make the product better! They need to stop putting blame on their down fall on other people for their incompetence and lack of awareness

    Because Colin and Samir aren't really honest themselves. Sure they are nice guys, but are marketing puppies for youtubers and the youtube brand. There is something insidious about being real nice and then calling somebody out that has a different opinion or going against the driving narrative of the platform.

    The 'Apple' question is very valid. It's not that you can't critize their products, it's that Apple really likes their products portrayed in certain way - or you don't get access to them early. For example they dislike Linus Tech Tips a lot, even though they are fair in their criticism.

    Interesting how no one seems to quote the whole title of the review and discuss the implications of the last two words. To me it's proof that people are trying to see what they want to see as regards Marques and his influence. MrWhosTheBoss has near as many subs as MKBHD and had the same opinions more or less but didn't get near the same pushback as Marques has. I think that should be discussed as it would give some insight as to each reviewers' perceived influence.

    Nobody says Mr. beast is too powerful or the Logan brothers or Casey Neistat. But I have recently heard the question of if these reviewers are too powerful with two very popular Black reviewers - Keith Lee and MLBHD. Why is that? Many movies, food, and technological products are excoriated by large influencers but no one questions their size. So why did you choose to word the question as such? (For reference, I am a 53yo Black woman who watches many channels and I do notice the differences that some creators experience than others.)

    MrBeast, Logan and Jake Paul and Casey Neistat are not reviewers and don't make content around product reviews, like Keith Lee and MKBHD. People have many options for food and tech products why would they want to spend their money on something's that bad. The Humane AI Pin is bad, every single review from KZreadrs to the press have been critical. MKBHD isn't not an outlier in his assessment, he just has a larger following.

    This is the first time I've seen anything from your podcast. And I did really enjoy it. As far as Marquez, I subscribe to all of his podcasts and channels. I do feel a sense of realism about his reviews. In fact I send him questions on products I may buy to see what his opinion is good or bad. I don't agree on all of his tech reviews I still may or may not purchase. He just seems more Raw in his thoughts on different products. I myself am a GenX I turn 50 in June. But when it comes to New technologies he's one of the best ones in my opinion. I use to really enjoy Austin Evans cause I know him personally because we're both from Kansas City Missouri. I knew him prior to becoming a KZread sensation. I also really enjoyed James Morrison but since his unfortunate Eye issues he's rarely doing videos. Which is sad in my opinion. I have gone ahead and subscribed to your channel. I'll give it a shot.
