Video reviews are a massive fail to begin with. You can't check anything. You're watching a piece of entertainment.
And let's not even mention the comment section compared to a regular website with one, or a forum behind it. These are completely different worlds. One is for the gullible fools, the other for real info.
The first group is lazy and wants to watch TV 'while learning something', the last group is ready to make an effort to understand what's going on. That on its own defines everything.
It has also infected TPU as there are plenty of "new" members ready to dispute with the owner of a product what it's narrated flaws are. As an example on TPU today they talked about Threadripper 7000 and described 64 PCIe lanes of 5.0 as narrow. It is not their fault though as there is a portion of the online media that is pumping out so much propaganda that it is insane when you think about it.
Ryzen's success was partly based on Social media giving it their blessing. Nvidia's dominance is also partly due to that as evidenced by the way they treated Hardware Unboxed when Steve took a vacation. Now you will see plenty of posts talking about Ryzen 7 being worthless and weak or describing the 7900 series as weak or not worth the money because it doesn't support dumd ass Ray tracing as well as the 4090 and is only as fast as a 3090 and 3090TI in some scenarios. What? Is there any card other than the 4090 that is faster at Ray Tracing than the 7900XTX? 3080, 2080TI, 3070, 3060TI.....Now that they also support AV1 encoding I watched PC world lament that the card was only as fast as a 3090. Again, What? After the 3090 was just the balls to the walls ultimate.
It's ok though as there are plenty of 4080s in every PC store I have been in and the 7900XT is readily available too. Sardonically this is also in part due to Social Media's influence on Greater Society. Lain Li 011 anyone? In a world where SSD NAND did not have the bandwidth to separate NAND performance how did Samsung become what it is today? Why were Seagate Drives cheaper than WD about 10 years ago?
The best for me though as I am an AMD user is that they pumped the Asus B550- F Strix board as being a great value. The thing about that board is it had no WIFI and all of the PCie slots other than the first one shared lanes (not in a smart way either). That meant that if you put anything in any of the slots it would disable all the rest of the slots on the board. All of this is while MSI budget X570 boards were being vilified for having VRMs that only supported 300 watts? That made them cheaper than most B550 boards and a much better value but you can't say that because unless you have a fan blowing air into the case it will get hot. What? There is so much, like how Nvidia never seems to have driver issues while AMD is a bug filled unrewarding experience. What is crazy though is that, even though the cards are blowing up, no one is referencing that in light of the 7900XTX, bullet points don't count. The 13900KS is on a dead platform but that won't get mentioned either.
