Bambu labs entire business plan was YouTube marketing. YouTube is infomercials.
If I see something advertised on YouTube I avoid it like the plague. Nearly every one of them is a scam, garbage product, or has some sort of scandal they are tied to
Project Farm is the only channel I can think of where I'd trust the review to be fair and honest
To be fair their printers (P1S and H2D) are reliable workhorses, I cant remember if I ever had a failed print and they are basically in 24/7 operation since a year. Never had to do any maintenance.
All my friends who have one rave about the reliability. I can't get one on principle. They're all at the mercy of Bambu's closed source firmware which means you're always only one automatic update away from a required subscription.
Keep mine offline for that reason and I dont really need a firmware update (as long as they are not software locking replacement parts in the future, but in that case I am happy to trash the printer and never look back, its already payed itself of 100x)
I got gifted a P1S, so I use it. But I stopped updating the FW and use Orca Slicer with the printer in LAN mode. Not optimal, but better than completely giving the control away to Bambu Lab
I can’t get my p1p off the cloud. It’s a supported function. It just refuses to work if I use it. I cannot connect it to Ethernet or USB either. Almost like this thing was intentionally gimped
They generate a lot of waste plastic on multicolor.
I exclusively print functional engineering stuff so single colour and whatever colour is the cheapest lol
Have you noticed how many YouTube videos are suddenly now including their own ad soundbites? Not even an ad from YouTube, but sponsor messages read by the creator themselves in the video. These are becoming increasingly common.
SponsorBlock has been a huge help for me for the past 3+ years. Lets you skip all of these, as well as other things.
How does it detect the right parts of a video to skip, if it’s a soundbite from the video creator themselves? Live monitoring of the video with a detection model?
User submissions. There's a leaderboard and people are crazy fast at submitting them. I've seen 30 minute videos have the sponsor sections blocked out within 10 minutes of being posted
As an example, here are the stats for my sponsor block:

It’s gotten so popular that even YouTube itself has a built in skip ahead feature for premium subscribers lol
I mean this is generally a sign of growth by the content creator, shifting from whatever "personalized" ads the ad network decides to show, to having their own relationships with advertisers and doing their own ads. Honestly its a good thing because it means that the people making the content also have full control over who they sell ad space to and how that ad space is used, and if viable platforms other than Youtube existed, they would be able to to run their videos profitably without excessive user tracking
