I'll probably get some downvotes here for my criticism of the video, but anyway...
I understand that she can't or doesn't want to try out all the products, but in my opinion, she should then simply leave those products out.
Why does she review GOG when she only looks at the website and compares the price of one game with Steam? At least she mentions that GOG is DRM-free.
In her Linux Mint review, she only explains why she doesn't try it ("sustainability") and looks at the website. Then she says that Linux Mint offers many Big Tech tools and that "they should work on that." This shows a fundamental misunderstanding on her part of what an operating system is. One of her reasons against Mint is that she relies on a glitch-free workflow. Which also shows her bias against Linux.
Likewise with her OpenStreetMap review. She goes to the website, looks at the map, enters a few routes, and then explains why she's sticking with Google Maps. She either doesn't know or at least doesn't mention that the actual goal of OSM is to make map data freely available so that others can work with it. She doesn't say that there are some user-friendly apps that use OSM data.
I could go into many more reviews from the video, but then my comment will just be too long.
What I also don't like about the video is that she tries to find all products good, even though you can tell that she doesn't like some of them. I would find honest opinions much more authentic. You don't have to like everything just because it's European.
And the title of the video is simply a lie.
This comment should probably be left on their video as feedback. Not here.
Dailymotion doesn't seem to have a comment function and I don't have an account to comment on YouTube. But feel free to quote my comment there.
You could be right, I don't know Dailymotion that well. I wonder if the author will be able to see your comment here, though.
Well I saw it and the 'review' helped me understand how likely it is the videos content has value for me without skimming through it or listening to it in the background. So I'm glad this person took the time to write a comment.
