And why does he not only investigate the most accurate devices to find the optimal device? Is this because YouTube videos increases the sales rates of the reviewed devices? We experienced it by ourselves, if someone like us publishes for a longer period of time in the web about a certain topic, do scientists not become interesting for sellers? Sellers who want to sell products with all of their heart to scientists and other buyers? But is not someone who is engaged with his whole heart in a topic, who is not in interested in sales rates, more interesting for readers than someone who eventually tries to manipulate us, to catch our attention? Rob keeps silent about the other half of the truth, about the papers of the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio about heart rate monitors, which we have discussed in our journal.
Is what Rob does not short sighted? He eventually increases sales rates of sports watches, that is what we are convinced about. Rob has become a so called influencer. But is not the price which is to pay for this as a scientist loss of credibility, a scientist who only reviews a selected paper, and keeps silent about others?
If a scientist is not looking for the truth, but for many views on YouTube, does he not loose his credibility? And is not also the trust in YouTube gone by this phenomenon? Has YouTube turned from a platform of YouTubers which record videos for fun and in their spare time to a platform of sneaky advertisers and product promoters, which hide behind YouTube channels which are disguised as YouTube channels of enthusiastic YouTubers which record videos for fun and in their spare time, but in reality, they are product promoters with the interest to promote products, because they are influenced by advertising reviews, popularity on YouTube, and mobbing seller if someone lowers the sales rates?
