Summary

This week, we have our good friend and fellow YouTuber Michael Fisher, aka "Mr. Mobile", dial into the MKBHD headquarters to discuss the ethics involved in reviewing tech on YouTube. Michael is very well-known in the tech community as being uncharacteristically open regarding his business ethics, so he takes us on a journey describing the different scenarios a tech YouTuber faces on a regular basis. Finally, we close out the episode with some questions from Twitter.
