As asked in the title. Anyone have insider information? Speculations are welcomed. It just seems such an e-waste, but at the same time some reviewing more well known techs are helpful. But those whose goal is to make their video entertaining rather than informative like going on a tech shopping spree on Amazon or Aliexpress to show the "smallest" gadget in a certain category or something similar is adding to the waste.

It really depends on the YouTuber and the items in question.

A lot of stuff is loaned out to them as review samples and they have to return them. This is the case for TVs, for example.

Stuff they purchased themselves, like gamers Nexus tends to do, they either keep, use it themselves, give it away, or sell it off.

I don't think many bother to keep the stuff. After a certain point you have too much stuff.
