I can’t believe some of the points Linus made against the Fairphone, especially given he’s onboard with the same compromises for the Framework laptop. 🤭

      They disclose their advertisements through audio and video, altough I dislike them not declaring in title whether it’s a sponsored video or review. Linus said publicly that he wonders why people don’t understand which of their videos is sponsored or not, but going by their titles it’s to be expected.

      Watching their video it’s imo pretty obvious what is a review and what is sponsored advertisement.

        ACG on YouTube I feel does a great job at this if he’s following his publicized guidelines. He doesn’t do any sponsored content nor accept paid for trips from the gaming industry and when he receives a free copy of the game for review purposes he purchases a copy to give away to the audience. Accepting the free early copies and paying to give one away on release seems like a good compromise to ensure he can get the review out near the embargo date.
