Vent: Gadget reviews these days are just hype machines

I used to trust online reviews for new tech stuff. Now it feels like every video or article is just pushing a product. Take those fancy wireless earbuds everyone raved about. I got a pair and the connection drops all the time. No review mentioned that issue. It's like they only talk about the good things to get clicks or sponsorships. We need more honest people calling out the bad parts too.

Consumer Reports tests often reveal flaws hype reviews miss.

They seem to miss the stuff that matters day to day though.

Wait, the connection drops all the time? That's crazy no one mentioned it in reviews. It makes me doubt every hype video out there. @the_river has a point about Consumer Reports finding real flaws. We really need more testing that shows what breaks in daily use. It's frustrating when you spend money on something that doesn't work right.
