He does review them at least from what I've seen recently....but yeah, he has been a lot more hands off over the last two years or so. I'm not sure what's happened. He used to be the king of tech back in 2017-2018. I started watching him in 2014, as a teen. For a long time people loved him and he was great, but more and more people now seem to dislike him. To an extent I get it. Something has changed in his content over the last two to three years I think.

He was the victim of his own success. Everyone copied his style and level of polish and now he's not so unique or special

Because he's basically a glorified advert. He screws up basic product specs in the majority of his reviews. He's in the pocket of major tech companies and Tesla. I watched him drool over Elon for years, while his Tesla spent more time on a tow truck than it did the road.

He's a corporate shill, who's gone full form over function.
