I blame these "tech youtubers" who don't understand anything technical and keep repeating the script which the company provides them. I saw this idiot MKBHD telling his viewers how a phone has a "beast mode". Wtf is a beast mode? ! Non technical guys eat shit like this and proceeds to buy because the phone has beast mode lol.

These are exactly my thoughts about tech YouTubers. They have no idea what they're talking about and encourage mindless consumption. Glad I'm not the only one who's thought about this.
