I wish they looked at actually comparable cables. Lumafield is just trying to sell their commercial CT scanners.

Basically an ad with really nice internal scans and Adam gushing over it saying oh so that's why it costs $130, but it being a thunder bolt cable as opposed to the USB-C cables they are comparing it to. And never bothering to provide speed comparisons.

It'd be like a video titled 'Why is this SSD $XX' and then comparing it to HDDs but just showing scans of the internals and never bothering to provide anything further.

Video would have felt less like an ad if it was titled 'See the internals of the new Apple thunderbolt cable'.
