YouTubers promoting useless products instead of reviewing them isn’t unusual. Like news agencies, many YouTubers have an angle, and it’s often the case where they (unintentionally) misinform their viewers.

I have wasted enough time on the “Tech YouTube Community” to know that most of it is a waste of time. So, I’m writing an article explaining the myths mentioned by many YouTubers and why they are incorrect.
