When reviews are driven by getting views on day one, reviewers need good relationships with companies to get those early samples. It definitely makes you wonder how independent some of those reviews really are.
 
It’s like when you see someone saying “I have switched to Android and here is why”. They are wearing an Apple Watch while doing the review video.

I don’t trust any of them.
