Posts in the sub are a non-starter. The maxwellhill thing was debunked when it was pointed out that the account was active when Ghislaine was attending well publicized events. You guys are falling for right wing bullshit.

Those are a fraction of a percent of reviewers. The issue predates YouTube. The days when it was only written articles was no different. They are at the mercy of not being shit listed by companies.

I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s a choice between what problems I want to deal with that are specific to the particular brand.

Some may or may not even be real issues I’ll ever encounter. It’s impossible to tell because nobody talks straight.

This is generally the implication with reviewers. You better not be too honest or you’re not getting any more review samples. Never trust reviewers. Not even the dude that’s supposedly reputable. They all know the game. Use the review to see the hardware and the basic functionality. Ignore everything else.

3D printing is particular bad though. I’ve been perusing this hobby for the past few years without buying a printer. There’s so much shit surrounding this particular topic. The communities are all militant about brands too.
