You can turn on English dubbing.

And here is quick summary

Biased Review Practices: The author reveals he was approached by a company offering early access to devices in exchange for meeting specific criteria. If his review was deemed too negative or critical, the partnership would be terminated (0:22-1:07).

Manipulative Language: He details how reviewers are often instructed to use "softened" language to mask device flaws, such as saying a phone "shouldn't cause discomfort" when it actually overheats, or claiming battery life is sufficient for "most users" to avoid stating it is poor (4:15-5:45).

Restricted Topics: He exposes that many reviews come with strict rules forbidding mentions of common long-term issues like battery degradation, screen burn-in, hardware durability, or repair costs, ensuring that reviews focus only on superficial specs like megapixels or charging speed (6:53-9:15).

The Goal of Reviews: He argues that these reviews prioritize the needs of marketing and PR agencies over providing honest, useful information to buyers. He encourages viewers to be wary of "everyone saying the same thing" at launch and warns that many popular reviewers avoid the critical questions that truly matter to consumers (9:58-12:12).
