    Both did the job of explaining different functions of the dishwasher and demonstrating, as I mentioned, that expensive stuff did not “clean more better.” To that end he literally had things independantly tested (for the sake of highlighting powders being just as-good.) I’ll go on to point out that he made several comments about pods not using the pre wash.

    Again, as mentioned, even with him recommending a product… That does not make him a reviewer. If anything it was a mild advertisement … On a talking head show.

    To go back to what spawned this discussion - I wasn’t arguing with you. I simply thought you couldn’t understand what the show was… Or perhaps could not differentiate. The comments (initially) sought to teach.

    But, exasperatingly, here we are.

    At this point you are nitpicking and being pedantic to attempt to “win” an agurment not being had. Were not even discussing the original video in question. If I wanted to approach this with the same (pedantic) energy: I’d simply focus on it being obvious that anyone with a bit of sense would have noticed that the review seemed to lack… Price, length of stands, lumens… The list goes on. If it were a review it would contain an awful lot more numbers and an awful lot less personal opinion.

    Square peg: round hole. I genuinely hope we leave it there.

      At this point you are nitpicking and being pedantic to attempt to “win” an agurment not being had.

      You wrote 3 paragraphs to avoid admitting that despite my writing about his detergent video, you responded with his dishwasher video because you haven’t watched all his content!

      Comparing samples with an independent lab isn’t a review? Come on. As I already said just because most of his content is “talking head”, doesn’t mean he can’t recommend products. Which he clearly has done.

        Look. The last paragraph said what needed to be said. Its apparent its not a review and if you can’t see that… You’re either beyond help or a troll that is succeeding only in making themself look like those inmates from idiocracy. If you feel you need to overanalyze my reaponses to protect your ego… Do what you need to friend; it doesn’t change reality. If you can’t address the obvious flaws in your logic on the original topic you are simply running from the truth.

          You don’t watch all of his videos which is why you have the wrong idea. It’s the 2024 video where he reviewed Tru Tone.

          If products are compared in detail and a suggestion to buy is given, it’s a review.

          It doesn’t matter what you think the channel is supposed to be. What matters is the content.

            While irrelevant, you’d be incorrect. Again. But let’s add some finality here using your own words.

            As I already said just because most of his content is “talking head”, doesn’t mean he can’t recommend products. Which he clearly has done.

            Welcome to this thread and, consequently, what everyone was pointing out to you.

            Review, v.

            examine or assess (something) formally with the possibility or intention of instituting change if necessary.

            Dare I ask if such a formal thing might include numbers, data, and other specific metrics outside of opinions? Perish the thought.

            Recommend, v.

            to put forward (something) as one’s choice for a wise or proper course of action

            It seems between your slip of the tongue and … Actual logic that you’d be definitively… Incorrect.

            I’ll extend the olive branch in saying, as mentioned prior (Venn): there are some overlaps so you’d be forgiven for not fully grasping the difference… However the things that define those differences leave no question as to which they are - and ignoring that simply makes you … well… ignorant.

            I mentioned before this wasn’t an argument. It still isnt. Its a dunce making a spectacle of his own foolishness. If you wish to continue making such a display I invite you to do so alone. I won’t be party to embarrassing you further.

              He did a comparison of products ending with a recommendation. That’s a review.

              I don’t know why you can’t accept that.
