I haven't watched LTT for quite a while. A lot of his videos entertained me, but the guy himself...
His recent video on the Fairphone is what did it for me.
His "deal breaker" is that the notification sound is too loud? Replacing a battery by heating up your phone, prying it open, disconnecting the flimsy battery cable and prying out the glued in battery is apparently just as easy as using your hands. Seriously?
Personal preferences exist you know. Also not being able to turn down the notification volume would annoy me personally to no end. But if it doesn't annoy you, is it still unimportant to be informed about this? So you know before you buy?
Calling something that can be fixed with a simple software update a deal breaker is strange to me, yes.
Adding it as critique so it can be fixed is fair, as a reviewer I expect them to note things like these. I do not need them to add their own opinion on whether this is a deal breaker or not.
I find opinions to be interesting and somewhat informative. I dont agree personally, but appreciate the input. If you view it as an opinion I think its okay. Everyone adds their personal opinion in one way or another, I think its good that its labeled that way.
His fairphone review was super based. Refusing to pander to deluded fanboys that are willing to pay $500 for a buggy pile of junk where the touchscreen software is broken.
