As someone who also follows general tech youtube and reviews... it is honestly baffling that people are calling a title that accurately summarizes his personal feelings about the product sensational. You can disagree with the perspective. You can suggest that he is wrong about it being relevant, but if the video is largely focused on an aspect of the product that he didn't like, and that in his view detracted from an otherwise quite good product... disappointment is just the literal reaction. That is automatically not clickbait or sensationalism.
I think our assessments of what is sufficiently clickbait and what is acceptable are extremely different. All of media exists to sell itself, have we forgotten tabloids exist and have existed for centuries? That written media has also focused on getting circulation and engagement?
You are right in that he could spend more time working with a manufacturer to see if his sample is defective. Absolutely true. That is a valid critique. No reviewer is or should be seen as authoritative.
