I got bored with his shtick. He could condense each of his videos to the 3 or so graphs that he puts up, in the middle and at the end. Sometimes I fast foward to those if it's something I'm interested in. But he's usually too superficial anyway.

Torque Test Channel is a lot better and more watchable imho.

I’m honestly curious what drives this kind of response. You’re aiming a lot of negativity at someone who’s voluntarily spending his own time and money to do something that, until recently, simply didn’t exist at this level of detail. Yes, there are scientific limitations and fair critiques to be made—but the tone here feels less like constructive criticism and more like punishing the effort itself. That pattern is exactly what drains the internet of anything generous or experimental: people stop sharing when every imperfect attempt is met with hostility. It’s a bit like being stranded in the desert, dying of thirst, finally offered water, and rejecting it because it isn’t cold enough. You don’t have to call the work perfect to acknowledge that it’s valuable, imperfect progress rather than something deserving of contempt.

NPR whispering every video seems like a great app for AI.

> Most of these alphabet soup brands

to extend on that

to some degree this alphabet soup brands are a direct consequence of well intended but not well working Amazon policies :/

Not only did Amazone more or less force all the OEM/White label seller to pretend to be "proper brands" instead of just being honest, it also made them realize that they can use this to doge all responsibility and most reviews and has not done anything (working) to fix that situation (or other problematic situations on it's side). To make that worse even if you search for "<brand> <product>" the first results might be from random cheap copies of companies which branding is all just a hollow make pretend, further pushing off brand clones. Amazone really does a bunch of harm in not so obvious ways in addition to all the more obvious issues :/

--------

Some clarifications:

- I'm not speaking about brands which pretend to create their own product but sell OEM, I mean companies which very obviously sell OEM

- I also don't have an issue that when searching for "<brand> <product>" I also get off brand alternatives, I have an issue with this alternatives being multiple of the first search results in combination with the intentional UI design of all sellers "looking the same" (as in you have product images but no seller theming/branding on product pages), in combination with the oft not so grate product "sheet" etc. That lead to Amazon effectively deceiving people (especially older ones) into buying products they do not want to buy. (E.g. a cheaper but very unreliable clone of a product instead of the more expensive but for the customer very affordable original product, and yes, sometimes the clones are better then the original, most times not).

> but you can't find any meaningful review because they are white labels

Which is one of the reasons they exist. You fortunately for more commons stuff have the original manufacturer+product name which gets rebranded into alphabetsoup as soon as it get's popular. If you can figure out the original name, or if it's advertised as, you can maybe lookup some reviews. Otherwise: stay away, but normal consumers tend no to know that because "it's on amazon" (or equivalent).
