Unfortunately this also means that it's not easy to know which reviews you can trust. Even if some youtuber isn't paid in cash for a positive review, it's still in their interest to make the manufacturer happy so they keep getting free stuff in the future. Neither does it help that most reviews have affiliate links, so they have an additional financial incentive to convince you to buy the product.
Yeah this is why I like communities like this
Yep. I also like the 3D Printing Discord server, since many there have first hand experience with multiple printers. It's of course also interesting to hear about the experience those who only own a single printer have had, but occasionally someone claims the printer they own is a great choice for beginners despite having spent hundreds, and countless hours, on fixes and upgrade to get it in a usable state :D
