Mainly laziness and entertainment. If I was indeed buying one tomorrow, I'd spend a lot more time reading people's experiences on Reddit, for instance. But just for watching tech reviews while I eat dinner or something, I sure wish there were programmers out there making videos for that audience.

I've considered filling this gap myself. Perhaps less about specifically programmers and more about regular people who have a regular job that dictates their use cases. Almost all big YouTubers are fulltime YouTubers and when it comes to tech and its impact on my day to day life, their opinions tend to be a bit lacking. Ofcourse, if you weren't a full-time YT, you likely wouldn't become big so it's a catch-22.

Secondly, the review genre lends itself to a race for releasing something first and results in only the most superficial aspects of a product considered which I find could be better served as well.
