if your company sells a product and the cost plus one pack of refills is 1 cent short of free shipping, I'm instantly closing the page and never purchasing your product in the future.

[KelhamJack]

The fact that with Air Up you need 59.99 for free shipping and adding another set of pods brings it to 59.98 is so obviously intentional and would just put me off ordering.

Bro really managed to fit 7 sponsorships into one video. We’re playing checkers and he’s playing chess.

“Manscaped is not a scam”

From what I’ve seen from people who review beard trimmers and stuff, while not a scam per se, it is very over priced.

I don't hate 'youtube brands' but 9 times out of 10, they are a company that spends more money on advertisements than they do research and development. Because of that, there is almost always a product that is better quality and cheaper than the 'youtube brand'. Just do a little bit of research before buying anything honestly.

"Oh my GOD it tastes like water!!"

Honestly I have NEVER seen a single person use these outside YouTube. And I live in LA.

[lavatiger]

Did I just watch a 25 minute ad without realizing it? 😂😂

[TommyCrosby]

I once saw a professional barber review Manscape's trimmer and called it a cheap trimmer sold at higher price. The "special" feature of "skin safe" they claimed was just a normal feature found in reputable brands of trimmers.

Warthunder is the number 1 way to get classified military intel on vehicles

1:14 "Let's take a look to see what it's like [...] to cancel the subscription"
Narrator: He did not.

From what I understand, "Manscaped" just puts their logo on the same cheap stuff you can find on Ali Express, gives it a stupid "manly" name like "The tractor" or "the lawnmower", or "The chainsaw" or whatever, and puts it in deluxe packaging and charges like 20 times the actual landed cost. I'd imagine the youtube sponsor approach is the only way they can get people who aren't informed enough to know that established brands already sell this stuff, and it's more reliable and cheaper too, even if they don't come in elaborate packaging.

VPNs aren’t inherently a scam, but I think it’s worth mentioning that the claims they have YTers make on their behalf are often untrue. Particularly the security related ones.

These days they’re mostly good for circumventing geoblocks, though many of them are not good at cycling IPs and are blocked by many services

I've tried both PIA and Manscaped. The Manscaped 4.0 cut me, and then stopped working after about 2 weeks. They refused any warranty service. I think they're cheap products that are heavily over-priced with little to no customer support. PIA has been great, I've been a subscriber for about 6 years.

It is worth noting that with Air-Up your mileage will vary. Since not everyone's sense of smell is the same, it won't work the same for everyone. I've seen multiple reviews on it where they tested it with multiple people and the results were the roughly the same every time. Some people liked it and other thought it was disgusting. Another issue they ran into was different pods of the same flavor "tasting" different.

Bro, you didn't just try YouTube scams you created a twenty five minute long one ...

[lonewolfsstuck]

"You may be familiar with War Thunder" *checks that i have almost 4k hours in the game* no im not familiar, please enlighten me.

Wait, the VPN tries to advertise being in the USA as a positive?! The whole reason the popular ones are abroad is because other countries have less strict data collection laws! 😂 it's WORSE being in the US.

[christophertstone]

Manscaped is a classic "big companies make cheap garbage, if we make something reasonable we can charge premium prices". Not a scam, but probably not worth the money....

"Like birds with like... Feathers?"
"I mean, thats what birds usually have"
