I want to know design features ease of use, power, durability etc. This may be a bad example lol. > > I do totally agree that they are subjective, but doesn’t everyone understand that before they read a review on anything at all? Real life, related example: Literally before buying my last vacuum, I went on YouTube and found a few vacuum reviewing SPECIALISTS who have tried/used and compared an enormous amount of vacuums over the years, and pit them against each other in multiple different ways in almost a shootout style. I wasn’t placing much weight on reviewers who just bought one vacuum and reviewed it, I wanted to get the opinion of someone who has used more vacuums than I’ve ever seen in my life. I didn’t want to pay attention to the review of one person who has only owned one vaccum before and it’s like “Yup, this works great”… I’m sure it does, but how does it compare to all the ones you didn’t try/buy? That’s exactly what I want from a review, a well informed opinion based on comparison from other products. I don’t know why this is so controversial lol… it’s been said time and time again by ultra well respected people within our community: > [@Are yo-yo video reviews useful?](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/are-yo-yo-video-reviews-useful/303682/98): > > I personally have never enjoyed review videos. I firmly believe you need to reach a certain level of skill before you start dishing out advice to others. And when I watch most of the _reviewers_ throw I can quickly tell they don’t know what they’re talking about. > [@Are yo-yo video reviews useful?](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/are-yo-yo-video-reviews-useful/303682/3): > > You should be a semi-skilled player if you’re doing reviews on YouTube. There are many youtubers who aren’t that skilled but are popular and do lots of yoyo reviews. > [@Are yo-yo video reviews useful?](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/are-yo-yo-video-reviews-useful/303682/12): > > I would say you need to be generally skilled at least. Not because you are not going to be able to understand every aspect of a yoyo, but because it will prevent you from having opinions biased by your lack of skill. Both Tom and T have bashed on competition oriented yoyos in the past, while they are unable themselves to play the yoyos to their full potential. There’s obviously more where that came from as this has been a discussion for a long time - my opinion is nothing new. I think it just strikes a nerve with those who are newer. And one last thing… > [@anon5341354](#): > > I do think that yoyo reviews are not particularly informative though. Many people seem to think their new yoyo is their best yoyo and review it very quickly. I do agree with this very heavily, it’s a huge problem with yoyo reviews specifically. Because: > [@Are yo-yo video reviews useful?](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/are-yo-yo-video-reviews-useful/303682/28): > > Most reviewers have never met a yo-yo they didn’t like. > [@Are yo-yo video reviews useful?](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/are-yo-yo-video-reviews-useful/303682/27): > > One critcism I have: if you give _every_ yo-yo a positive review, then why bother reviewing at all? :thinking: > > What would make someone really want to buy this yo-yo versus the hundreds of others they could choose from out there? What’s unique or special about this particular yo-yo? So yeah… I guess my point is that no matter what way you want to mentally arrive at yoyo reviews being pointless is… at the end of the day they’re pretty pointless lmfao --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/why-did-yye-remove-all-reviews/403106)._
