3D Printer Reviewers: Being honest in this industry will put you out of a job. (infosec.pub)

This is the emails between the YouTuber YGK3D and Anycubic, it seems like they won't send 3D printers to reviewers who mention their GPL3 license violations.

tl;dr Anycubic uses open-source software for their firmware, but doesn't make it public as per license agreement, and they don't seem to be friendly to anyone who calls this out.

Shocker. Does anyone take youtube reviews seriously?

[–] Kissaki@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago

I do. But I'm very selective and critical in choosing and trusting the right ones. They're also not my only source.

I don't think YouTube reviews are any worse than other forms of reviews. There are plenty of bad text reviews out there, too.
