You're not the target market.

I've seen interesting products, and either been curious or ready to buy. Unfortunately, the only available information to me is the marketing.

Seriously, look on amazon. You can see pictures of the product, read the description, and read the reviews. this leads to 2/3 of the information being by the marketing team, and quite possibly much of the final 1/3, the reviews.

Being able to view a video of the product by someone (anyone!) on youtube gives you a chance of critical information you need for a decision.

Who cares if he's lackluster. If he even in passing gives you an idea of what the product might actually be like, you've been helped.

By the way, even consumer reports, formerly the gold standard in unbiased reviews is part of the gravy train. When they switched from the magazine to online, they acted like a funnel to purchases. sigh.
