    Cringe every single time I see him destroy a new phone. I know the testing serves a purpose but I hate seeing it.

        Hit the nail on the head!!! I couldnt agree more with this! Everytime i see youtubers destroying gadgets in the name of tests i cringe hard, even more when companies sponsor them to do it.

    He’s definitely way more destructive than needed but I do think the videos give a rough idea of how well built or hard to get into a device is.

    I do think ruining a brand new device for views is kind of disgusting though I presume the videos cover the cost but still it’s a waste.

      I argue the opposite. Cars are rigorously tested for safety and durability. Phones are such a mandatory tool for us that durability information and repairability metrics are extremely important considerations when making such a vital purchase.
