No, that only applies to shitty reviewers.
You're only watching shitty reviewers.
If you want honest reviews, you need people like Gamers Nexus, Tyre Reviews, and Project Farm, to name a few.
Those are a fraction of a percent of reviewers. The issue predates YouTube. The days when it was only written articles was no different. They are at the mercy of not being shit listed by companies.
I know they are but my point is nobody should be watching those paid reviewers anyway
If people had a damn clue they could clearly tell a "review" is actually an ad.
That is if they can't pay for the products through the revenue of the review. Though ofc they still have to have ads or sponsors. Much more important is if they are financially stable and convicted enough not to sell out.
