It is clickbait. And people who think the product is shitty seem numb to that point because they're like "yeah it is shitty, just like I thought!"

The actual video is way more balanced. Why not call it "Humane AI Pin: Pretty Bad" or something? But the worst...? There are waaay shittier products he's reviewed.

MKBHD is a millionaire... why clickbait?

People are like "Honest reviews are important"... yeah, exactly and we're saying the same thing. the concern is about dishonesty for clicks.

All sides in this argument have a kernel of truth that is being exaggerated somewhat.

That being said I trust him, just think he was off on the clickbait-iness.

Genuine question: Are there?

> How many frames a second does this webcam do? What's the quality like? Shit.

A product isn't bad just because it's old and has obsolete specs. That webcam review is 14 years old and has to be interpreted in the context from that time, just like the Humane Pin will inevitably be compared to current smartphones and obviously looks inferior in almost every way.

I agree but "worst ever" still feels off for this reason
> This has been a really great webcam so far

That's your candidate for "worst ever"?

How many frames a second does this webcam do? What's the quality like? Shit.
Any review has to be evaluated based on when it was released. Sure, it’s bad today, but was it bad in 2010?
