Do sellers offer demos to YouTube reviewers, for instance to TechHut? TechHut has 37 511 777 views to this date. He often reviews Linux devices. But where is the market for those? Eventually the MRIS. But TechHut reviews so many Linux devices, so that it is hard to believe that he reviews those for fun and in his spare time. But are some of the devices TechHut reviews not quiet exotic Linux devices? And are some of those not shop keepers, as for instance in the example of NexDok devices:
which attracted our attention. But what do you think afer watching the video: is this device a shop keeper or not? We highly appreciate TechHut, but he sometimes we ask ourselves, does TechHut suffer, and is he forced to do all those reviews on YouTube? Are there any conditions for him to do these YouTube videos?
But all the same we appreciate TechHut s review about the Google Pixel 3a running Ubports:
But first, Google prevents in Android which is developed by Google to write to the external SD card of Android phones. Has this been done to be able sell us Google Drive abos to sync our data to a PC? All other pathways or network connections to a Windows PC where not satisfying for us personally.
Now, TechHut promotes the Google Pixel 3a running Ubports. This is a Google phone which makes it possible to gain back restraints implemented in Android. For instance it is easier to connect a Linux phone to a Linux PC, as to connect an Android phone to a Windows PC or network. We could not find a satisfying solution for this to this date for Android phones and Windows PCs, and even the Linux solutions take time to be implemented.
But who profits from these developements? First, is Google not making profit from limiting access to Android phones? And does ¨Google not profit once more from selling us Google Pixel 3a phones with Ubports on it?
Was Google not a major driving force for developers to develop Linux phones, for instance for privacy reasons, because privacy was in danger because of Google on Android phones? And who chooses a Google Linux phone, who left Android phones because of Google?
